The strike of the cutters and flatteners of the American Window Glas3 company took on a most serious aspect this morning, when forty-eight of the strlk breakers arrived from Chicago to take the place of the strikers. Local labor leaders met the strike breakers at the depot and explained the situation with the result that the imported men refused to go to work on learning the facta. When return transportation to Chicago was purchased for them by Manager Jacmain, they refused to accept it unless they were paid for the two days lost in coming here and returning to Chicago. On the refusal of Jacmain to meet these demands, matters took on a dangerous look. Not one of the imported men went to work. The strikebreakers "were mingling with locked out laborers and trouble is anticipated. MANY FOREST FIRES (American News Service) Weavervllle, Calif., Sept. 18.

SYDNEY ARRANGES

A PEARY WELCOME Canadian Government Plans Reception Rivaling the Danes' Welcome. IS TO ARRIVE TUESDAY EXPLORER WILL BE TAKEN TO BOSTON ON SPECIAL CAR AFT ER A GREAT ROUND OF FETES ARE GIVEN HIM. (American News Service) Sydney, C. B., Sept. 18. Arrangements for welcoming Commander Robert E. Peary we: on with a rush today. The dominion of Canada will give him a greeting that is expected to rival that extended to Dr. Cook when be arrived in Copenhagen. Commander Peary is expected to arrive here Tuesday morning. Arrange ments have already been made for a private car on the Inter-Colonial rail way and according to the present plan it will leave here on Wednesday, attached to the regular day express bound for Boston after a great round of welcoming fetes. He May Not Attend. The likelihood developed today that Peary would not be able to attend the Hudson-Pulton celebration in New York. It is also believed that the Roosevelt will not arrive in New York soon enough to take part in the great pageant. Mrs. Peary has received the following message from her husband: "Barring weather, should arrive in Sydney Tuesday morning." Upon reecipt of this message the time of leaving was switched. According to these plans Comamnder .Peary and his family were to leave on Tuesday. Now it Is arranged for them to leave on Wednesday. "I suppose that my husband will be on the go all day Tuesday," exclaimed Mrs. Peary mournfully. "He will be tired when he arrives and then there will be the celebration and the exer tion of attending a banquet and speaking on Tuesday night. That has made it necessary that we should change the time of leaving here. I want my husband to get all the rest he can."

EXPECT VACANCIES May Be Two Resignations The United States Supreme Court. ' in TO CONVENE IN OCTOBER (American News Service) . Washington, Sept 18. When the United States supreme court re-assembles for the fall term, October 11, it is probable that two members of that tribunal will not be In their accustomed places. Associate Justice John Marshall Harlan of Kentucky and Associate Justice William H. Moody of Massachusetts have been in ill health for some time, and it is not unlikely that they will be unable to sit when the court meets. If one of them should retire it is believed here that Governor Hughes of New York, provided he would accept the place, which is thought doubtful, would be appointed j to the vacancy by President Taft. Justice Moody recently denied the reports that on account of ill healtn, ! his retirement might be expected. It! is known, however, that he has not for some time been enjoying his usual health, but announcement that he had left the bench would not be a surprise to those who have kept informed of supreme court matters.

Dublin's Favorite Pastime is Dear Old

up. several loads of gravel 'were scat tered over the top and then rolled to a smooth surface. This affords a table-like ground about sixty feet wide and eighty feet long. Clarence Reid. the village blacksmith made wickets ol half Inch"; round-iron. In the center he placed a cross basket. The wickets and basket are about half the size cf the ordinary wickets, making them more difficult. Around the croquet ground the enthusiasts built a retaining-wall of heavy timbers, serving the same purpose as the cushions on a billiard table. Special Clubc Made. The Dublin players of "Presbyterian billiards" did not adopt the old-fashioned, long-handled mallets as the official club. Instead, they manufactured clubs of tbair own Tney cave .snort handles with a mallet about eight inches long Many of them are very fancy and have brass ferules on the mallet ends. It has been two years since Dublin became interested in the game of croquet. In that time the town has developed such a band cf expert malleters that it is nothing short of lese majeste to speak of the game except as the most difficult known to popular pastime. And, as was said before, it is no child's game in Dublin. A couple of weeks ago. Dr. McKee. Reid the blacksmith, Hatfield, the merchant, and Murray, the druggist, took a notion that what eastern Indiana needed was a croquet tournament. The playing ot the game at Dublin had caused a revival of "Presbyterian billiards' In many towns of eastern Indianda and western Ohio. The revival has brought into play a number of experts in each town and the Dublin tournament resulted. Jot Goar a Devotee. , New, Lisbon, known in eastern Indiana as Jim town, came forward with

At an exciting point In the game a scorcher shot through Dublin and Deputy "Oscar tried to have the driver captured at Cambridge City," but the telephone girl cidn't answer scon enough. Fans Fill the Bleachers. The bleachers formed an Important P2rt of the tournament- The "fans occupied a bench at the side of the ground and criticised or praised the players as they saw fit. They showed fine enthusiasm when a player would carcm his ball off one of the log cushions and hit the ball of an opponent then snugly hidden behind a wicket. This play was frequent during the tournament and would make a profes sional bIT!iard player look to his laurels. The way they shot the balls across the course and got their oppon ents was a sight that mystified the novice viewing the game. Only one unfortunate incident mar red the tournament. Yesterday afternoon, while Doc McKee was playing in the best form he had shown in weeks, a man hurried up to him and whispered something In. his ear. Dr. McKee smiled. A moment later he left the course, entered his office and got his medicine case. Then he rode away on his wheeL "Add one to the population of Dub lin." a wise one on the bleachers re marked.

Curious Old School Report Made la

Boston In 1722. In the town records of the city of Boston there Is a curious passage which records bow a schoolmaster was examined and what happened. Toe manner In which the visit of Inspection is recorded makes one Incline to the view that the unlucky schoolmaster may not nave bad fair play, although if be was really Inefficient be may be said to bare Uyd Judged by bis peers. In the record fur tbe 23d of May. 1722. It Is set forth tbat: -Coll Ten Towusend. Jeremiah Al len Esuir. & John Edwards together with tbe Select men.

New Zealand, says the London Globe. Tbla Is the remains ot a large specimen of tbe blue whale stranded on tbe coast of tbat country. This whsle Is probably tne largest of all living animals. Tbe length of the skeleton is eighty -seven feet, and the head alone la twenty-one feet. The weight of the bones Is estimated at nine tons. This gigantic whale gets its name of blue whale from the dark bluish gray of Its upper surface. Tne tinge of yellow on Its lower part has led to the name "sulphur bottom." by wbicb it Is known on the western skis of tbe Atlantic. It is otherwise known as Slbbald's rorqual (Balenopters aibbaldli). Tbe chief food ot this gigantic animal is a small marine crustacean (Tnysanopoda lnermlst. known to tne -whales as "krlL" Another species of tbe same shrimplike group has been obtained in thousands from the stomachs of mackerel caught on the Cornish coast Tbe nearly related opossum shrimps found in enormous numbers In the Greenland seas form the chief food of the common whsle.
