STRIKERS ARE ENTAUSIASTIC BOSTON, Mass., September 20.—Acting upon the instructions of the Clothing Trades Council No, 2 the garment makers of this city to the number of 2,000 struck work this morning, and it is expected that tonight there will not be a clothing contractor able to continue business and that 3,500 operat- ives will be idle. Promptly at 7 o'clock this morning the committee having cnarge of the strike started on their rounds and called the men systematically, not a contractor being over- looked. This action is the result of the re- fusal of a number of contractors to con- cede to the demands of the union for the abolishment of the “lumping” and “sweat- ing” systems and the introduction of the weekly wege system. The operatives are also desirous of estab- Mshing a working day of nine hours with fixed wages. Every man, woman and child responded to the eall to stop work. It was expected that there would be some difficulty with the Italian and Lithuanian operatives, but they responded as readily as the others. The headquarters of the gar- ment workers have been crowded all day with an excited an enthusiastic body of men and women, who declare they will not return to their benches and machines under the old conditions. Many of the contractors have a large amount of work half finished and heavy orders ahead, and a number have already made application to sign the new agreement. a eed PROULEMS FOR FINANCIERS. Elasticity in Currency Based on Gov- ernment Bonds. CLEVELAND, Ohio, September 20.— Among the speakers today at the fourth annual convention of the Ohio Bankers’ Association was Controller of the Currency James H. Eckels, After reviewing the history of the na- tional banks and declaring that the sys- tem under which they were conducted was the best that could be devised, and one which would be changed only when circum- stences made a change necessary, Con- troller Eckels said that the problem to be met today was how to secure a more elastic currency and still maintain it solely upon bonds deposited to secure the same. ‘The serious difficulty in the way was the idea to which so many of the people clung that it was essential to the people's prosperity that there always be a large volume of money regardless of its representation or intrinsic value. He then said: “Our colonial history is replete with at- tempts to make the people rich through a great volume of currency, which had netther represeatative nor intrinsic worth. It is a history of financial failure and distress. Later, under the articles of federation, is recorded the same attempt and the same series of failure and financial loss. There Was scarcely a state in the Union before the war but whose history is marked by efforts to enrich a people through such currency, and the outcome was disaster. If the result of such attempts was so pro- litle of ruin to the people, then why will they not fall with equal ruin now? The laws of political economy do not change with changing ages or changing people, and the same causes find fruition in the same effects whether the century be the eigh- teenth or nineteenth, the form of govern- ment colonial or republic. “There is no sentiment embodied in the laws of money, and no matter how great may be the volume of the currency, If each and every dollar of that currency ts *iot of value to pass current in the world of busi- ness it cannot add to the blessings of the people. To be productive of the people's good it must, whether of gold, silver or paper, in the very order of things, be of unquestionable and unvarying value, and when called into gequisition discharge with- out the aid of legal tender acts at home or abroad the obligations of the holder. But with such a currency our people have yet much to learn, and most Important ts the lesson that no matter how abundant it may be it will not find its way to those who are wanting In credit. It can give no relief to those who have neither the means to nay their obligations or having it cast suspicion upon their willingness to maintain their financial integrity by making their abiding places the home of all the financial vagaries which are bred by those who have no prop- erty of their own and are unmindful of the property rights of their fellows.” ee A Divorce Asked For. A petition for divorce hi been filed by Alice E. Loveday against Joseph G. Love- day. The parties were married December 19, 1872, Two children were born to them, one of whom—a son, born in August, 1881— is living. The complainant charges that her husband deserted and abandoned his family in February, 1801, and was last heard of in New York city. Mrs. Loveday prays that the custody of their child be given to her. Fatal Injuries at a Fire. Seven persons were injured in a tene- ment house fire on Morgan street just west of lith, St. Louls, yesterday. Two gasoline stoves exploded almost simultaneously in two houses, and in a moment the tenants were in an uproar. Many jumped from the windows before help arrived. Two babies were hurled from a window. The following were injured: Jennie Reuder, fatally burned about neck and body, leg broken; Mrs, Lotta Hanohen, leg broken, burned fatal: Tom Gilmore, body burned; Mrs. Tom Gil- more, slight burns; Al. Sahins, broken arm and leg, scalp wounds, burned on arms and legs; Mrs. Lena Sahins, eye out of socket, burned about breast; A. H.

King Blue, ruler of the Negro Indians in the neighborhood of Stonewall, Chickasaw nation, is out on a marauding tour at the head of a band of his people, and is terror- izing the whole country. Citizens, both Indians and squaw.men, have been maltreated, and several women have been outraged. King Blue and his negro followers are interlopers in the na- uor and have no legal right to lands. The Indian police are now out after them, and a meeting of the two forces will probably re- sult in a bloody conflict. ———+ e+ ___ The Theft of a Race Horse. The race horse South Park, stolen from a farm near Lexington, Ky., has been located on Long Island, N. Y. The lawyer there has the horse in custody and de- mands $1,000 reward.

The thieves have not been apprehended and how the horse got into the hands of the Long Island lawyer is not known. —— -s00 Refused to Take a Reduction.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., September 20.— James P. Wright, ali old railroad brakeman, who lives at Fort Madison, Iowa, where En- gineer Prescott of the $anta Fe train, which was stopped by train robbers near Corin, Mo., was taken after being wounded, has had a long talk with Prescott. Wright says the wounded engineer, is one of the angriest men he ever saw. < “He told me,” said Wright, “that the bat- tle between the supposed train robbers and the detectives was-Very queer, and that he would never have been wounded if the de- tectives had met the gnen who stepped on the engines with well directed shots. Pres- cott was even inclined to be skeptical about the attempted robbery, and said it was very strange that the detectives did not kill some of the would-be robbers. Further than that he said that after he was shot he pointed out one man who was standing so close to the engine that he could have knocked him down with a lump of coal if his arm had not been rendered useless by his wound, and shouted to the detectives, ‘Why don’t you shoot that fellow” Then he said the detec- tives fired several shots at the man, and he neticed that the gun barrels were all point- ed away above the level of the man's head.” —_——_ STADBED BY A BURGLAR. Mrs. Hiles of Jerscy City Aw Early This Morning. JERSEY CITY, N.J., September 20.—A burglar severely stabbed Mrs. Elma Hiles in her room at her home, 126 Union street, this city, early this morning, after robbing the house. Mr. and Mrs. Hiles were asleep in their room on the second floor at 2 o'clock, when Mrs. Hiles thought she heard noise in the house. Taking a match she went into the room adjoining the bed room. When she was a few feet in the room she stumbled over the form of a man on the floor. "Be- fore she could light a match to see who it was the man was up in an instant, and had a knife in his hand. Mrs. Hiles was so frightened that she could not scream, though her husband and two boarders were in the house beside her. ‘The burglar quickly stabbed Mrs. Hiles in the right side and then grabbed her around the throat. Before he could stab her again Mrs. Hiles grappled with him, and succeed- jet catching the hand which held the The burglar still held the hand her neck, and dragged Mrs. Hiles out ts the hall.

Collapse of Belug Fat Injured. AKRON, Ohio, September 20.—Joseph. Ryan, eighteen, and Patrick Casey, twen- ty-one, the two men most severely injured by a@ falling platform at the Excelsior Athletic Club rooms last evening, died dur- ing the night. The names of those injured are: ; Arthur Denaple, ‘left leg broken; Perry Hoffman, both legs broken; Fred Stair, face and head cut; Chgrles Shaffer, severe cuts; Harry Milley arm broken; Frank Grossman, two ribs broken; Isaac Gross- man, severe cuts about head; Morris Gross- man, cut about head; Charles Royal, ankle broken, back injured; Charles Tant, severe cuts; Arthur Holmes, nose broken; Al Leroy, right leg brokefi; Will Hixson, ribs broken; K.

The platform was filled with young men waiting for the doors to open, the occasion being an athletic exhibition ‘given by the club. As the doors opened the crowd made a rush, and this, it is believed, caused the extra strain, which the filmsy platform could not stand. The crowd of sixty were all precipitated to the ground, twenty-five feet below, and those who escaped serious injury were more or less bruised and shaken up. Platform, Two Person: ly and Others Seriously Cavalry. From Blackwood's Magazine. The tradition still clings to the British cavalry of undisciplined and headlong reck- lJessness in the fleild—cf all fruits the most ruinous. Wellington considered his cavalry in the Peninsula so inferior to that of the French, from want of order, that he was reluctant to use it unless when in superior strength; and he said, speaking of Water- loo: “Napoleon had his cavalry in order; mine would gallop, but could not preserve their order.” - It was this gallant but undisciplined pro- pensity to get out of hand which in the battle of Waterloo, as the issue of a single charge, reduced Lord Uxbridge's splendid division of heavy cavalry to a single squad- ron. The wild gallop of the “Third Light” through the heart of the Khalsa camp in the evening dusk of Ferozeshah, like the the charge of the Light Brigade down the north valley of Balaclava, ‘was magnificent, but it w not war.” Kinglake innocently expresses his admiration of the prolonga- tion of front in Scarlett’s heavy cavalry charge, occasioned by the circumstances that “the two ranks which had begun the nce were converted by degrees into ———_+-22_—__—_. Animals ond Stim mtn. From the Hospital. It has lately been pointed out that man, after all, is not the only animal who in- dulges in stimulants. Certain animals also indulge themselves in this manner with fatal results, the vehicle of intoxication in the case of the lower order of beings being a@ creeping vetch called the “loco plant.” This is an inhabitant of the “Texan Pan- handle,” and is a source of serious danger to horves and cattle. To them it has all the allurements which are possessed by ab- sinthe and gin for beings of another grade, only the results of the vetch are more defi- nitely fatal, even when taken in moderate measures. Animals who have tasted of it are liable to fall over backward, their brains being affected as well as their spinal cords. They leap heights in their frenzy and dash down precipices. No rider of a horse who has been thus intoxicated is in a safe po- sition, re ue ——_+0+—__—_ Hysteria and \yomen’s Rights. From All the Year Round.

In every one of them one finds a suggestion of the hysterical inclination which is an inevitable ‘accompaniment of certain forms of anaémfa.

Go where you please among the women who are shrieking out for this or for that, and you will find that 75 per cent of them are, in some way or other, the victims of their sex. From the point of view of mcd- “ern femininity, it is woman's right to be a man. If they would only be frank, it is nature they quarrel with—they envy man! ———_-+e-+ The Detroit in Dry Dock.

He Inte: to Suggest Some Import- ant Changes—Legislation Needed in Regard to Fire Escapes. Ever since he has been one of the Dis- trict Commissioners, Col. Truesdell has been of the opinion that the building reg- vlations that prevail here are sadly de- fective and in need of revision. Even be- fore that his business experience in this city had convinced him that things were not altogether as they should be, and of late the matter has been receiving careful attention at his hands. He has thoroughly familiarized himself with the local reguia- tions, and has also bee! mparing them with similar regulations’ from other cities in this country, as well as the large cities of Europe. All this is a matter that takes considera- ble time, and as Col. Truesdell is a busy man, he has had to do it at odd moments when he had the chance, and has frequent- ly given up an evening at home to tie work. The results of his labors are to be embodied in certain necessary recommenda- tions to the board of Commissioners for their consideration and adoption, if they Meet with approval. In the course of a conversation with a Star reporter this afternoon Commissioner Truesdell said: ‘It is quite true that I have been making such an investigation as you speak of, and the further I go into the matter the more convinced I am that not only is there room for improvement in the building regulations of the District, but also an imperative de- mand for change. The regulations as they stand today are both defective and inade- quate. There are any number of important matters that should be governed by these regulations that are not even touched upon at all. For example, there is nothing at all about the size of beams and girders that are necessary in buildings of any par- ticular size or erected for any particular eePhey have to be determined in each par- ticular case by calculating the span, the weight to be supported and all that. Now that might just +s weil as not all be regu- lated by law, set out and tabulated in regu- lar form, so that the questions would al be settled by a mere reference to the tables. This is done in other cities and should be here. This is only one small detail. There are plenty of places where a change would be desirable. However, 1 have not reached any definite conclusions as yet as to what changes should be made, and, as they are only ideas of my own and must be reported in time to the full board for their consid- eration, it would hardly be advisable to fay much about them just yet, even if they were in a state where they could be defi- nitely wiked about. <= think. it would be a good idea to get recommendations and suggestions from the leading architects and builders of the city and submit any proposed changes to them for criticism. This is really all that I am in @ position to say on the subject at the pres- ent time.” “How about the subject of fire escapes?” “It seems to me that that is a matter that can hardly come under the building regulations proper. You see, it is a question as to whether or not they are an essential part of a building, ani if they are not f will necessitate some special legislation be- fcre the Commissioners can compel the erection of fire escapes on buildings where they are needed. The attention of the public has been again called of late to the fect that che existing law as to fire escapes is so defective as to be inoperative, and what is needed row is a law that shall be satisfactory, and that right away. Efforts have been made before to have the law zemedied, but they have always fallen through for some reason or other. But you can say that the next Commissioners’ re- port will contain a recommendation on the subject and that it will be pressed without further delay, if possible.

Maxim's flying machine were brought out at the recent meeting of the British Asscciation for the Advance- ment of Science. Although living abroad because he believed himself fll-treated by the United States government in connec- tion with his rapid-fire gun patents, this gifted inventor is an American, and any glory which may be conferred by his suc- cess in aerial navigation belongs to this country. One of the most remarkable features of the trial airship is the lightness of its mo- tor. The engine proper weighs only Gi4 pounds, and the boiler (containing 2 pounds of water) 1,20. As the latter fig- ures also include various appurtenances of the boller, and as 302 horse-power were actually developed, we have only five pounds of engine and boiler to a horse- power! Mr. Mextm himself believes that he can get 500 horse-power out of that same engine. In passing It may be well to recall that an ordinary locomotive weighs about 100 or 150 pounds fur every horse-power it de- velops; marine engines in big steamships, from 200 to 500, and even engines for fast, light yachts of lerge size, seldom less than 100. A good draught horse weighs about 1,500 to 2,000 pounds to a horse-power; but a bird in flight only 20 or 25 pounds. Engi- neering experts have computed that in or- der to make aerial navigation a success the motive apparatus employed must weigh less than this. In e few exceptional instances small engines, not including the boiler, have been ouilt which reduced the propor- tion to between 7 and 15 pounds. Mr. Max- im’s achievement, therefore, is utterly with- out preced-nt, though Prof. Langley is said to have come pretty close to it with a ratio of 1 to 6 Over 300 pounds of steam have been car- ried in some of the trials, and the inventor says that he can run the pressure up from 200 to 300 pounds inside of a minute! Naphtha is the fuel usej, of which 200 pourds are carried. There are also 400 pounds of water In reserve. Frame-work, aeroplanes, propellers and human freight bring the total weight up to three and one- half or four tons. A lifting power of about 10,000 pounds is developed when full speed is attained—tha: is, from thirty-five to forty miles an hour. About 375 revolutions of each of the huze two-bladed propellers a minute has been the maximum thus far. The aeroplanes, which look like a flat roof and a pair of huge horizontal wings out- stretched therefrom, have a lateral spread of more than 120 fect and an aggregate area of 4,000 square feet. These parts of the machine are made of thin and very strong steel ef ind wires, coyered on the under side wit: oon cloth. Tt was found impossible to keep this latter from bagging, no matter how tightly stretched. The upper surface, therefoie, was irregular, and af- forded much resistance to the air. The in- ventor has consequently covered ihe top as well as the Lottom of the frame with cloth, and the upper cloth fs held down with lines running fore and aft. This double-skin aeroplane overcomes ‘a hitherto apparently insuperable dificulty—the buckling of the cloth surface. Lord Rayleigh declared that Mr. Maxim had solved three out of the five chief prob- lems invclved in aerial navigation, and he had confidence that the inventor's great in- genuity would enable him to solve the oth- ers. Available reports cf Lord Rayleigh’s remarks do not quote him as specifying what these two remaining difficulties are, | but they are probably balancing and steer- | ing the craft in free air. Ability to lift a) propel it has now been fully demonstrated. fey of Washington. who, by the way, took occasion to declare that he has not yet gotten up any airship of bis own, expressed admiration of Mr. Maxim's work, | and expressed a belief that the world would see practical airships in use before the close of the century. Lord Kelvin also commended our fellow-countryman’s ef- forts, though he was inclined to think that a platform with four vertically werking propellers at the corners would afford a better plan of pration. Some doubt was expressed by others whether Mr. Maxim estimates highiy enough the skin resistance or friction of his aeroplanes. On the whole, | | though, both inventor and invention were | treated in a highly encouraging manner. | The leading British experts in mechanical ; science were present—men of world-wide | reputations, and not given to toleration of cranks, especially if foreigners. Such a recognition of the merit of Mr. Maxim's work is not withont significance. U INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. FINANCIAL. If You Have AMUSEMENTS ATTORNEYS ..

The question of what period to reproduce was an important one, whether to take the one in which the City possessed the greatest historic or archaeoiogical interest or one which offered the greatest number of bril- liant fetes and ceremonies. inasmuch as the city was to be rather the background, the latter hern of the dilemma was chosen and a bit of Antwerp of the sixteenth cen- tury was reproduced. At this time the Fiemish countries were the richest in Europe, they nad becn under various for- eign ruiers, had learned the customs of the most refined and had become fond of the pomp and display of the older courts. Waen Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy and husband of the Queen of Spain, died, his son Charles, afterward Emperor Charles V, became heir to the Flemish domains. During his minority the government was in the hards of Marguerite of Austria. She made her ceremonial entry into Antwerp June 21, 1507. In September of the follow- ing year Emperor Maximilian, accompanied by Charles, paid the city a visit. The prince, after attaining his majority, was re- ceived in great pomp on February 12, 1516. After becoming Emperor of Germany he was crowned September 23, 1520, in Ant- werp. Phi Ul was received with royal ceremonies * During the latter half the government changed ‘at rapidity, caused by the > Netherlands against Spain. In 1578 the Archduke Mathias of Austria nade y; in the same year he was suc- William of Orange. The Duke was inaugurated in 1582, and the ange brought Archduke Ernest to! After his death Isabelle Albert were received with unusual flcence in 1500, Old Bulidings Reproduced. Each new sovereign sought to gain favor with his subjects by a return of fetes, tour- neys and processions. Thus it was that the sixteenth century, with its multitude of ceremonies, was chosen. Nor was there any loss along the archaeologic side. At that time Antwerp possessed a number of fine houses, artistie gates, curious and interesting industries.

The older houses have the second story projecting over the sidewalk, at first as much as thrive feet, then restricted to half that amount. The shopkeepers were al- lowed to expose their wares on counters outside of their windows, then a while later the external counters were forbidden, At one time decorations were limited to gables, ornaments of wood following mural paint- ings, and they, in turn, giving way to fancy wrought-iron work.
