FREiGHT BLOCKADE SERIOUS Loss to Shipping Interests, So Far Estimated at Five Millions of Dol- lars and the Loss in Wages Also Aggregates Immense Amount. New York, May 14—There is no change for the better in the dock sit- uation caused by the strike of the longshoremen. Freight is-piling up at an enormous rate at all the docks and apparently the steamship companies have but few men<to move it. - The blockade, is causing much ‘inconveni- ence to shippers and merchants, the transportation companies and strikers are losing thousands ot dollars daily. The loss to shipping interests alone is said to aggregate $5,000,000 thus far, while the loss in wages to the long- shoremen also runs into seven figures. Neither side has thus far shown any disposition to surrender, but the pre- diction was made that one side or the other must soon give way, as the strike is paralyzing the ocean freight trafic of the port, a condition that merchants cannot long permit to con- tinue. According to the strike lead- ers 80,000 stevedores are on strike in Manhattan, Brooklyn and. Hoboken and considering the number of men out the strike is remarkable for the lack of disorder. There have been a few scenes of disorder, but the rows have been of no great magnitude and have been easily controlled by the po- lice. The Civic Federation, despite the rebuffs of last week, will this week renew its attempts to settle the strike by arbitration. In this connection it is stated that Samuel Gompers, pres- ident of the American Federation of Labor, influential with workingmen generally, has been called upon to en- deavor to bring about a peace confer- ence. The strikers, it is believed, are ready to fall in line for arbitration, but they want the steamship owners to take the initiative. A feature of the sirike in the last few hours was the desertion of be- tween 200 and 300 strikebreakers from the White Star line docks. The men grew tired of being cooped up on the docks’and left to go to their families. It is feared that the dissension will spread to the strikebreakers on the other piers. WITHOUT DISTURBANCES. Number of Street Cars Operated at San Francisco. San Francisco, May 14.—Street cars were run during the day through the city to the ferry at the foot of Market street. No disturbance occurred on the early runs. The company will put many more cars on during the day. The board of supervisors will now insist that,the railroads must operate their lines in the interest of the pub- lic, threatening that if this is not done at once the municipality will itself re- store the traffic. The compauy »ays wiat 1T 0as NOW enough men to run its entire system and large numbers of men are arriv- ing daily from the East. SMELTING PLANT RESUMES Majority of Strikers Accept Compro- mise Wage Offer. Salt Lake City, May 14.—The plant of the American Smelting and Refin- ing company at Murray, a suburb, which closed down last week throwing 1,200 men out of work, resumed opera- tions during the day under protection of seventy-five deputies. There was no disorder, however, and a majority of the men who struck for higlter wages and made those who wanted to work walk out with them returned to their places at an increase of about 10 per cent offered by the company but previously rejected by the strikers. ROBBERS MAKE RICH HAUL Secure at Least $15,000 at North To- peka, Kan. Topeka, Kan., . May 14.—Robbers broke into the Citizens bank of Rorth Topeka and are supposed to have made a rich haul. The robbers broke open the safe and secured the con- tents, which the bank-officials admit- ted cohtained at least $15,000. The robbers before they left battered the lock and it has been impossible to open the safe to learn.the exact loss. MEXICAN MINE DISASTER. Ninety Men Perish as Result of Un- derground Fire. City of Mexico, May 14—Ninety men lost their lives in a fire in the Tenares copper mine at Velardena, in the state of Durango. The fire is still raging and is said to be beyond con- trol. Thirty-five bodies have been recov- ered. s Several Deaths Will Result. Columbus, O., May 14—Dashing through an open switch at Truro Sta- tion the West Virginia express on the Ohio Central road was derailed and one man, John Davis of Truro Sta- tion, who was walking along the side of the track, was killed and a number of trainmen were more or less injured. Mike Martin, the engineer, who was pinned under his engine, will die, as will also Dan Martin, the fireman, and an unknown woman. Mortification. “Of course, doctor, German measles are seldom serious?” “I neyver met but one fatal case.” “Fatall” “Yes, If was a Frenchman, and when he discovered It was German measles that he had mortification set in” Good Manners of the Mind. A man is known by the company his mind keeps. To llve continually with noble books, with “high erected thoughts seated In the heart of cour- tesy,” teaches the.soul good manners.— T. B, Aldrich, * A > Hopi Indian Traditions. The {Topi Indians of Arizona have no written” literature, but an almost boundless store of oral traditions, °| which are handed down unimpaired to each generation in turn and which form the guiding principle of their re- ligious belief and of their whole life, says the Craftsman. Every clan, and there are a number of family clans making up the various Hopi towns, has its ofn kiva, or underground cere- monial chamber, entered by a ladder through a square opening in the roof, which is but a foot or two above the general level of the ground. Here the education of the hoys is carried on, be- ginning at the age of seven or elght|’ ye: They aré instructed day by ay in the literature, history and myths of the tribes, the priests being the teachers. Without writing and without books the Hopi have an ex- tensive literatuPe, and that the utmost accuracy is observed in its oral trans- mission from generation to generation is revealed by certain comparisons with the records made by the Spanish explorers in the sizteenth century. P Long Sieges In Congress. Bamuel J. Randall of Pennsylvania was an avowed protectionist Democrat and .a man who, his colleagues had learned, usually was able to get his way. Randall had first entered con: gressn 1862. He was a quiet, per- sistent, hardworking person who at- tracted Ilittle attention for several years. Then the Republicans, sure of thelr majority amd ‘wishing to expedite business, undertook to adopt rules ‘which would prevent obstruction. The quiet Mr. Randall set himself against the attempt. He led the small Demo- cratic majority with a skill so unusual that more than once he blocked the Republicans’ way until it was too late to pass the measure. His endurance seemed unlimited. From one session lasting forty-six hours and twenty-five minutes, where Randall had forced the roll to be called seventy-fivé times, he came out as fresh as he went in. _At another time in the fight over the force bill he was on the floor for sev- enty-two consecutive hours. —Ida M. Tarbell in American Magazine. How Piutes Catch Quail. The Piutes have a unique way of getting quail. For them there is no closed season or, indeed, any game law whatever. Seasons when the quail come down from the mountains to the spring the Indians make great prepa- ration for their capture. They b¥ild a bough house with a long slender opening in the front formed of tall straight sticks set closely together. Within the house an Indian sits con- cealed, holding a long limber rod, ‘which he operates dexterously through the narrow opening. In the early morning when the birds flock down for water he picks them off one at a time, killing them instantly. There is no re- port in this manner of hunting to frighten the others away, and the Indi- an often gets enough game in a single morning for the whole settlement.— Los Angeles Times. Went to ‘Bed For Dinner. An amusing incident is told of the absentmindedness of the late Justice William G. Keogh of Ireland: It was at a bar dinner at his own house, and he had excused himself from the guests, who had-already assembled, to g0 up stairs to dress. Time went by, but he did not reannear Tha compang: sat patiently for some time till at length, when their appetites were get- ting the better of their manners and they *were about,to send a messenger In quest of their absent host, he ap- peared and explained with many apolo- gles that imagining that he was retir- ing for the night he had undressed and got into bed. After an hour's sleep he awoke, and it suddenly dawned on him that his guests were waiting to dine with him below.

A lady and an officer clung to an oar. “It is not enough for two,” said the man. *“Say goodby for me to the regiment.” Then he left his hold of the oar and of life. It is easy to see that a romance might be founded on this, but these are the plain facts.” The Scope of Indigestion. Indigestion is not only the most prevalent of all diseases, but is the most far reaching in its complications, says Dr. Latson in Health Culture. In recognition of this fact a brilliant medical man has said: “There Is but one disease—indiges- tlon.” Cayenne Pepper. In cayenne pepper we have a pure, energetic, permanent stimulant. Why not use it instead of whisky and bran- dy, which are not more energetic and are not permanent in their actions? says Therapeutics and Dietetics. ‘( Friendship.
