The Retail Clerks Are Going
To Play Ball.

Onepassing the Emergency hospital
is impressed with the idea that an
other epidemic of the "hu" is ap-
preaching but upon inquiry is in
formed that the advance preparations
are being made because of the an
nouncement that two teams of the
Retail Clerks are going to hook up
next Wednesday in game of base
ball and it is expected that there are
going to be many sore limbs and
shoulders. Professor Chas. Ebel, of
Jazz Band fame, has the arrange
ments in charge. Brother Ebel is
not just certain at this time just how
he will line them up, whether it will
be the marrieds against the singles,
the olds against the youngs, the fats
against the leans, the jollies against
the grouch's or the he's against the
she's, but he is determined that there
will be two teams in the field. The
announcement has stirred up much
interest and no doubt the attendance
will exceed that at the Reds-Giants
game in Cincinnati last Sunday.

CAROLINE WAR" WAS SHORT
Border Trouble Between United States
and Canada Threatened for Time,
However, to Be Serious.

The Caroline war" was border
trouble between the United States and
Canada, in which a few persons were
killed but the trouble did not last
long. In 1867 there was strong re-
publican spirit rife in parts of lower
Canada which eliminated In Decem-
Der, 1887, in an unsuccessful insurrec-
tion In Toronto. The leaders of the
insurrection fled to the United States,
and one Of them, newspaper man
named Mackenzie, with % or 30 men,
including few from the American
side who had joined him, seized an Is
land in the Niagara river and set up
a provisional government. Their navy

Caroline, and one dark night while she
was lying on the American side party
of Canadians crossed the river and
burned the boat, killing several men
on board OF her.
The affair caused great Indignation

tons demanding observance of the neu-
trality laws. The New York militia
was called out and placed under com

burning of the Caroline In American

Injunction Forbids
Men To Join Union;
1900 VIII Strike.

Washington, D.C.-Fifteen hundred
hundred motormen and trainmen en-
ployed by the Pacific Electric Com
pany are preparing to strike August
against an injunction restraining
them from joining the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen. The company
is the property of the Southern Pacif-
ic Railroad Company and the strike
may extend to the entire system.
James Farquharson, vice president
of the brotherhood, and M. E. Mont
gomery, vice president of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, are
also enjoined from organizing the
employees. After conference held
Farquharson announced the date of
the strike.
The situation is similar to that
facing the miners in the Hitchman
Coal Company case. The employees
had signed contract with the COM
pany not to join union. Recently
they asked for certain concessions
and were ignored. Then they rushed
to join the union. Judge Bledson of
Southern California issued an order
restraining Farquharson and Mont
gomery from organizing the en-
ployees. The road has 1895 miles of
track in Southern California.

BURMA PRESENTS A PARADOX
Most Mournfai of Religions Firmly
Established Among Most Cheer
full of All Races.

In no country of the world is Budd-
hism SO firmly established as in Bur
ma, according to the Churchman. 1t
is a curious coincidence that one of
the most cheerful and light hearted
races has adopted what is perhaps the
most mournful religion that exists in
the world. If one wants to realize the
impossible gulf between the pessimism
of Buddhism and the optimism of the
Burmese, between the despair of life
which stamps the one and the deter
mination to enjoy itself which Is so
marked Characterization of the 9TH
er, one must see these Burmese cele-
brating religious festival. Il. f. Trot-
man. who has been working under the
bishop of Rangoon, describes the fam
Gus pagoda feast at Shwe Dagon:
'"The pagoda stands on hill, gleam-
long covered stairways lead up to Il
broad level platform 800 by SOC feet,
surrounded by shrines and pagodas Of
every size and description, and in ev.
cry stage of barbaric splendor In the
midst springs the great pagoda, 31l
feet high, covered with gold plates be-
low, gilded to the summit, where 1t is
crowned with royal hti or umbrella,
studded with precious stones and jew
els. The whole court is full of a seeth-
Ing, joyous crowd, which is continually
being REINFORCED as new parties
swarm up the stairs, blowing great
conches or shells to proclaim that
they are bringing their offerings to
the monks. They will go to one or 9th,
er of the shrines and intone their
Buddhist devotions, proclaiming that
all is sorrow, and then give themselves
up to unmitigated enjoyment, and
watch the dancers or the mines. My
riads of candles, burning in honor of
Him who found the light illuminate
the shrines and the pagoda base, dim
ming even the glorious moonlight into
which above the pagoda is seen to
tower"
