Dinner For Three.

Two newsboys stopped before a fruit stand, says a writer in the Denver Post, and one of them asked the price of apples. “Five cents each,” said the stand man, pointing to one pile. “Two for 5,” indicating another. “Gotta have three for 5,” said the boy, starting away. “All right,” said the stand man, “here’s three. Gimme your nickel.” Tlie boy took the apples and paid over the nickel. He gave one to the other boy. “What are you going to do with the extra one?” asked the other. The first boy did not reply. On the next corner was a blind man seated on a stool. The boy with the extra apple approached him. “Here,” he said, giving the fruit to the blind man, “here’s an apple fer yon.” As the two boys moved away the one who had bought the apples said: “That feller didn't have any dinner. I been banging round that corner, and he didn’t have a tiling to eat." Pressed Beef.

TERM OF THE TIE-UP

Both Parties to the Lake Shipping Troubles Profess To Be Well Satisfied. HARD COAL MEN IN SESSION Result Confidently Expected To Be a Formal Strike. Governor Pennypacker Issues a Proclamation—Chicago Building in the Grip of the Strike and More Coming. Detroit, May 3.—At the close of the second day of the marine strike on the great lakes over the recognition of the union mates the presidents of the two big organizations that have locked horns are expressing satisfaction with the trend of affairs, and confidence for the,, future, neither side showing the slightest indication of fear for the outcome of the battle that lias put 20,000 men out of work, and is aimed to stop the larger portion of the traffic of the lakes. President Daniel J. Keefe, of the Longshoremen. Marine and Transport Workers’ association, gave the following statement: Keefe Pleased with the Situation. ‘‘The situation is satisfactory beyond, our expectations. A certified re]>ort from President Joyce, of the Grain Scoopors’ union at Buffalo, who is in charge for us at that port, gives a list of thirty-nine Vessels there, and nearly seventy mates on these vessels have quit work. Our representatives at Cleveland state that everything is favorable there. Mates on many of the boats there have not had an opportimity to go ashore yet. An official rcl»ort from Eric states that tlie mates are stepping off boats as fast as they can make port. Detailed reports from Conneaut and Ashtabula are expected in the morning. What I hear from these ports is encouraging.” Vessel Owners to Stand Pat. As for the employers’ side of the controversy President Wm. Livingstone, of the Luke Carriers’ association, said: ‘‘The percentage of pilots who are leaving their lioats is exceedingly slight up to the present time.” A dispatch from Cleveland says: “A canvass of the leading vessel owners here developes the fact that they arc practicallyuimnimous in the determination to ‘stand pat’ on the strike question. They declare that no concessions whatever will be made to the strikers by the members of the Lake 1 arriers’ association in connection with tlie demand for the recognition of the organization of mates and pilots. It is asserted by the v« s->l owners that the mates for whose benefit the strike was ordered have declined almost to a man to leave their boats, or to have anything to do with tinstrike movement.” STRIKE ORDER IS EXPECTED Anthracite Men About Sure to Go Out —Constabulary Moves. Scranton, l’a.. May 3. That tlit* tri-district convention of the I'nited Mine Workers, which opened in this city tltis morning, will declare a strike throughout the hard coni fields is tinopinion here of every one in touch with tiie situation. It seems that there is no way out of a strike unless the mine workers back down, and all of the delegates i re very far from favoring anything closely approaching a backdown. President Mitchell arrived here and so also did Dr. Charles P. Neill, I'nited States labor eonunissioner. The two i had a conference, after which Neill J left for Washington, only saying when | questioned that in- came here in the in- | tcrests of pence. Mitchell said the con- | sere nee was of “no great importance.” i The members of the joint scale com- ! mittee arc outspoken in favoring a strike.

Mount Carmel. I’n.. May 3. Five car loads of non-union minors from the Clearfield region have airivet! hero, and it is reported that five additional car loads from the same region will come later. The men arc said to have staito miners' certificates entitling them to work in the hard coal fields. Fourteen car kinds of men from the soft coal region were taken into the Philadelphia and Reading C<wtl and Iron company’s storage yard near Malnmoy City. The cars containing the nonunion miners are fitted up so that the men can live in them, and are guarded by police. Territory surrounding the Sayre col liery Is free of stragglers and angry miners. The captain of the company of state constabulary arranged a system of patrol such as obtains in the regular army, and the first men out of the stockade to begin the Investigation of adjoining territory passed through this city. They were here but fifteen ndi utes, but their presence put the strike leaders to work appealing to the strikers not to indulge in a riot. Their efforts were successful and the constabulary was alibwed to jiass through In peace. Harrisburg. Pa., May 3. —Governor Pennypacker has issued a proclamation In reference to the industrial disturbances in Pennsylvania, in which he calls upon nil citizens to assist in the maintenance of the law and declares that violence will not be tolerated. TIE-DP FOR CHICAGO Building Operation* Are ParalyzedIron Worker* Quit Work. Chicago, May 3.—Six hundred structural iron workers struck yesterday declaring their contest is a question of

hurpan life versus present-day demands in the building!line. The men, who are striking for an increase in wages of 50 cents a day, declare ten years Is the average “working life” of the members of their craft. They say the danger of their toil on lofty steel beams is increasing with the enterprise of business men who want new structures put up at record-breaking speed. A possible, sympathetic strike of 10,000 men in the various building trade* looms up with the bringing to a standstill of $15,000,000 worth of buildings within the loop district ns a result of the strike. Officials of the Associated Building Trades, in which the Iron Workers’ union has membership, saia that all the trades would go out and stay out ail summer, if necessary, to help the iron workers win their tight The city is also wrestling with a strike of 2,000 iroi#molders, who have walked out for a “closed shop” and 25 cents a day more wages. With lake shipping tied up by the strike to force a union of mates on the ship owners Chicago may he said to be well suitplied In the strike line.

Has a Wild Ride Behind a Runaway Horse, but Averts Disaster. o ...... SHE KEEPS HIM IN THE ROAD He Does the Rest by Running Himself to a Stop—Anti-Tom Taggart Move—State News. —— Ilngers-town, Ind., May 3. Miss Ethel Holler showed remarkable courage and cool judgment in. handling a runaway horse, near here. Two young women accompanied her on a drive in a trap. The horse was a large bay. with a iwid name as a “runaway.” Soon after starting out Muss Roller turned the horse into Main street toward the west. They went only & short distance when the animal broke into a run and soon was going at & lively clip. Stopped, He Starts Again. After much sawing on the bit the driver got hint stop]hs! and turned around in the road to go back to town. Almost immediately the horse started to run again, and in spite of every effort maintained his gait. He ran down, two steep hills, crossed a railroad track, four bridges and ran the entire length of Main street and a mile east of town before liis wind failed and he checked of his own accord. She Had a Wild Ride. During the wild ride Miss Itdller braced tier fi-et against the irons of the bod, and. with the lines wrapped abont her hands, fairly swung her weight ou the bit. Her c Aorta were directed to keeping the horse in the road, for there were dozens of places where a swerve of two feet meant death to tike riders. Men tried to Hi row blankets over the horse’s heart as it passed like a flash, others followed in vehicles in an attempt to overtake the runaway, but nothing served to check the speed of tlie frenzied horse, and Miss Roller mw she must he the master of the situation. He Ran Himself Out. Siie quieted tlie fainting girls, who screamed a few times, and then settled, down, clinging to the sides otf the vehicle without strength enough to assist tiie nervy driver. Finally the horse came to a standstill, and Miss Roller had barely strength to turn him in the road and bring him bark to town. Now she is prostrated with nervousness .but declare she will drive the horse again. No damage was done to the vehicle.
