The drrtwas 'nriated tnob swept on over the muddy roads, preJeetled by bras3 ana martial bon.lf, whirh play between showers When the strikers arrived within a quarter of a mile of Ins plant they were met by a delegation of strikers, who toil them that It was useless to attack the works. Seventy-five men. they paid, were jEruarding the plants and two Catling fruns were in readiness to mow Ihem down. The strikers then turned toward Summltt. but they soon became exhausted, and, after many had fallen by the wayside, weak and unable to go further, the mob dispersed. Another mob of one thousand marched to Jim town to make an attack, but the cold wind and rain so benumbed them that they tinally sought shelter In the homes of other, strikers n-ar the works. At Dunbar a large mob also assembled, but dispersed as soon as they learned that the company had secured InJunctions.

About 3 o'clock to-day Governor McCorkle received a telegram from the operators at 3Iason City stating the striding miners Irom the Pomeroy district were marching on the mines about two hundred strong, and that from the character of resolutions adopted at a meeting Wednesday it was believed that force would be used in driving out the working miners, and asked that the troops be sent to protect them. The Governor wired the Fhenff of Mason county to try to cope with the strikers if they were not armed, but if they were armed, or t:t,ed force, to call on the executive for aid. Governor McCorkle also bade the sheriff to not allow force to be employed under fcutse of moral suasion.

TJIE K. OF L. liOW. 2lr. Martln'a Story of the Charge AK"InMt Powder ly. .WILMINGTON, Del.. May 23. M. B. Martin, of Minneapolis, a member of the executive board of the Knights of Labor, whose arrest on the charge of malicious libel was made the other day In Scranton. Is In this city. The facts leading up to the arrest are thus stated by Mr. Martin. Just after, the election of the general officers last November ex-General Master Workman Powderly wrote to General Master Workman Sovereign, stating that he had sent certain property of the Knights to the general office, enumerating the same, and concluding his letter by stating that, .with the exception of the letters bearing the sejls of district. State and local assemblies now in hla office, there was no other property of the order In his possesElon. This, at the time, was considered satisfactory. Later, Powderly and Mr. A. , XV. Wright brought suit against the order ior money alleged to be due them. At the recent meeting of the general executive board in Chicago it was decided that It was time that 1'owderly turned over everything belonging to the order. It was also deciaed that it was time the secret work of the "philosopher's stone," which 1'owderly received from Uriah Stevens, ehould be given to Sovereign and Mayes. Both Sovereign and Mayes had received letters from members of the order who had earned thl3 honor and wished It conferred upon "them. A notice had been issued to organizer of the order that the general master workman would confer this- degree upon those who did certain )rs tnizinir work. Hayes was instructed to a?K Powderly to Fend him this secret work, and did so. 2'owderly replied with un unqualified refusal. The general executive board, trough layes. then ordered Iowlerly to restore the property within ten lays under penally of standing expelled. This Is what led to trouble between Martin and Powderly. Further arrests on both hides are expected, as Powderly 13 -determined to remain in the order as Ion as he has an inch of fighting ground left, and the new ofilcials seem equally dettnnlajd to finish lilm.

"If the Governor neglects to do this," he said, "I believe the brave sons of Kansas have manhood In them to rise In their might and say to that little patch up there that laboring men will go through your city when they please, and if you try to stop them we will wipe your city out of existence."

Hardly any of the questions put to the newspaper are more curious and interesting than that of "What occupation shall I choose?" which is frequently submitted for editorial decision by young men. This Is among the greatest puzzles of life. If a young man were to sit down and devote his time to thinking about what occupation would afford the best field for his talents tie would grow old before reaching an entirely satisfactory conclusion. Certainly nobody else can decide what career he should follow any more than what his reading should be. It Is one of the things that is most often decided by chance, and can be decided about as well in that way as In any OthcT. Few know where they have found their best function In life, self-knowledge being one of the rarest things In the world. Ths successful comedian is haunted to his grave by the idea that he was really Intended to be a great tragedian. The average human being has so many and diverse capabilities it is hard to say which predominates. His possibilities are so different and his tastes so varied that neither can h3 say for himself nor can anybody say for him what will be his best line of development and which among the occupations of a certain grade he Is best fitted to follow. He Is limited by heredity, but no one can know the limitations. Lavater gave up the study of physiognomy as hopeless. So. while the choice of occupation is held to b? one of the most important things, it Is largely a matter of groping, with only glimmerings of light. Fortunately, however, the qualities that insure succ:s3 in one occupation will insure equal success In almost any. Movements of Steamers. NEW YORK, May 23.

Sir Richard Webster, In the Commons, to-day, asked the government whether the plans of the British torpedo destroyer Havok, which had been stolen from the Y'arrow Ship-building Company, had found their raj' to the United States NaVal Department. Sir Ukay-Shut-tleworth, secretary of the Admiralty, replied that the government had no information on the subject. James O'Connor, called the government's attention to the similarity of the offense of Polti, the recently condemned Italian Anarchist, to that of John Daly, the Irish political prisoner, saying that the latter was condemned to penal servitude for life while the former only received a sentence of ten years' imprisonment. Mr. O'Connor asked whether, in view of these facts, Daly, who had already been ten years In prison, might be released. John Redmond pointed out that Poltl had confessed, while Daly maintained that the bombs he was connected with had been placed where they were found by agents of the police. Mr. Asqulth said that Mr.- Redmond Ignored the fact that Poltl's accomplice, Farnera, had been sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment. Mr. Redmond interposed, saying: "But Daly was sentenced to penal -servitude for life. Does the Home Secretary consider that it was in the Interest of the peace and good government of Ireland that Englishmen and Italians were sentenced to ten years Imprisonment, while Daly was sentenced for life for the same ofTense?" Mr. Asqulth replied that he could not argue the question. The government did not regard this as a proper time to interfere with the sentence imiosed upon Daly. "The Irish people," said Mr. Redmond, "were given to understand at the last election that amnesty would be granted to political prisoners. Therefore, I charge the government with breach of faith." Mr. Asquith did not reply to this charge. Mr. Morgan, in reference, to Newfoundland, asked the government to use Its influence in favor of the people of the-colony so as to enable them to have a proper opportunity of presenting the election petition before any attempt' was made to whitewash the Ministry. ! Sidney Buxton' thought Mr. Morton had no tight to assume that the motives actuating the Newfoundland Ministry were bad. He had no doubt that the Governor of Newfoundland was in communication with the imperial government and that he would act according to the powers given him under the Constitution. Mr. Buxton .assured the House that the government was preparing to seize any opportunity to end the trouble between Newfoundland and France. After further discussion Sir William Harcourt moved the closure, and It was carried by a vote of 221 to 116. The vote on account was then adopted.

The sessions of Friends' Y'early Meeting yesterday was devoted exclusively to reading and discussing the set of rules of discipline prepared by a committee to supersede the old book. Both in men'? and women's branches the discussion was one of deep feeling, and in a few individual cases of unusually animated debase. Thomas S. Speakman, a member of the committee, spoke of the new rules as being too near a creel, holding up a measure by wMch members would be tested as to their conformity. He did not like the reference to the miraculous conception, denied his belief therein and claimed that it was a relic of the ancient religions. He declared that the ne .v bo 3k had a tendency to move society towards Constantinople, and hs for one did not unite with its adopt on. David Newport defined his position, claiming that he had been misquoted, and that what he did say to the elders was that in bringing forward the new discipline the society was running Into stcrmy weather. He objected to such changes as "discreet and prudent Friend." in place of the old expression, "solid Friend." He endeavored to throw oil on the troubled waters, declaring that he had lived long under the old and could enjoy the loving brotherhood of Friends under the new. He had hoped, however, that Friends would so simplify their rules and d clpllne as to fulfill Abraham Lincoln's Id a of a people, whose creed Is love to God anl love to man. He did not like to hear Frends speak of "compromise." Robert Janney. chairman of the committee, and Howard M. Jenkins, editor of the Friends' Intelligencer, also memebrs of the committee, urged prompt adoption of the new book. Robert Hatton thought it highly out of order that members of the commute should urge the approval of their own work, and that in the space of one day, when thev had had two years. . Samuel Jones, of Green-street Meeting, claimed that the new discipline really changed the doctrines for which he had years ago Joined the society, and which his children are being taught. Joseph M. Truman urged the Friends to adopt the discipline in a practical way and not let it become a matter of contention. The number of voices over the meeting approving this course showed ponderously In favor of adoption. The approval given to several speakers against adoption was also pretty strong, and after developing the fact that the meeting could not unite on It witout further thought and time, the meeting adjourned. On the women's side of the house the discussion was equally earnest, but words of peace from Lydia H. Price. Margarita Walton, Phoebe Griffith and others reemed to bring the matter nearly to adoption In unity. AVARLIKE AMERICANS. More Liven Lost on the Frontier than by One Side In the Crimean War. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Prof. R. F. Zogbaum, who lectured at Association Hall last evening. Is an entertaining gentleman and chatted pleasantly with a reporter in his room at the Hollenden. "On my journeys to Europe I have had some interesting experiences with the armies there." said he. "I have seen and studied the English. German, Austrian and French armies, and hone to see the Russian and others some day. I have an excellent loplnlon of the American regular. He Is a thorough soldier from the top down. This Includes both the officer and enlisted man. He believes in discipline, and he has endurance, pluck, intelligence, grit and the ability to adapt himself to circumstances. Until two years ago tlj regular troops in our Western States had been fighting continuously. Capt. Charles King Informs me that since the close of the civil war more officers have been killed In frontier fighting with the Indians than were lost by the English In the entire Crimean war. I jaMe made marches with our regulars and have endured the hardships of that life. On several occasions the men had small frontier fights with the Indians while I was with them, but never any serious battles. Marching and scouting Is the hardest work of the soldier. The American soldier is a very intelligent fellow. On a march, no matter what obstacle is presented, he always overcomes it. An enlisted man sometimes modestly suggests a means, and if it is good the officers use it. "The most warlike people of the world are the people of this country. Some people might take me to task for this statement, but it is true. The Americans are not a military people, they are not quarrelsome, and they do not want to hurt anybody, but they- will not let anybody hurt them. They have a warlike spirit and resent an attack qufckly. This is demonstrated whenever we have a . little brush with any small nation. In all parts of the country men immediately send word volunteering their services in enlisting regiments." A LAXD OF MYSTERIES. Mnrked 3Inngo Trees the Cause of Great Alarm in India Chicago Record. There is something strangely 'suggestive in the ado which one or two London papers have been making over the discovery that a large number of mango trees throughout India have been unaccountably smeared with daubs of mud containing hairs from the hides of native animals. The London Spectator, an acknowledged authority on matters pertaining to India, has even taken serious alarm, and predicts trouble from the native population. The mud daubs are so trivial and their presence so meaningless withal that the scare would be absurd but for one thing: It was some similar trifling sign that gave the signal for the uprising In 1S37, when the aroused natives threatened to reassert their independence. The fact is that after years of rulership over the tribes of India England knows them not. They are In subjection and they obey. But under the surface of things there are in that strange country, with its teeming millions of lives and its mysterious customs, unknown currents and forces. The British government has not forgotten the way in which a silent and apparently subjugated people once aro.e.as by a common signal and played havoc with the British troops. Now It does not know whether the mysterious tree" daubing is merely child's play or an indication that England's dissatisfied subjects are warning one another to prepare for one more rebellion against the sovereign power. In Itself the thing seems absurd. Anywhere else under the sun it would be Ignored. But in India the strange is only the common, and the English ofiiclals trying to fathom the secrets of their wary subjects are as men groping in the dark. There is little reason to wonder that they take fright when their groping leads them to something they cannot understand. (Georgia Sarcasm. Atlanta Constitution. "Bright boy o yours?" "You bet!"

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 106 WALL ST., NEW-YORK. SENATOR ALDRICII. The Republican Tariff Leader "Well Equipped for Ills Work. Philadelphia Record. Senator Nelson Wilmarth Aldrich. of Providence, R. I., Joint author of the McKinley law and tariff leader of the Republicans, is still the handsomest man on his side of the Senate, although he has lost a good deal of hair since he put the McKinley law on the statute book, and what he has left is rapidly turning white, like his fine mustache. In fact, he Is getting bald, although he is still able to part his hair in front, unlike his rival in manly beauty. Senator Apollo, of the Democratic side, Senator Matthew Calbralthe Butler, of Edgefield. S. C, whose front hair has quite disappeared, and who la therefore really out of competition with the Rhode Island Senator. Aldrich Js nearly six years younger than Butler, however, and he will not be fifty-three until next November. His face is so full, his complexion so fresh, his eye so bright and keen, his teeth so white and strong, his form so muscular and agile that he looks younger th&rx his 'ccUs Mentally, "Senator Aldrich is in his full prime. He has been steadily growing ever since he entered public life, and especially during tho thirteen years since he succeeded General Burnslde In the Senate. Aldrich is not a college graduate, nor Is he a lawyer, as so many people suppose. He started oit as a clerk in a store, after receiving an academic education, and was a business man. rising to be a partner in a wholesale grocery house In Providence before he came to Congress. He is one of the few business men in politics who have been able to hold their own with the 'lawyers, who constitute so large a majority , in most legislative bodies. Aldrich has remarkable Intellectual gifts, most of them of the practical kind, which bring success in money-making and in legislative work. It is only, recently that he has made much money, but he Is now generally believed by his colleagues to be a millionaire at last, as a result of some clever financiering which he did last year in connection with street-railway systems in New England. But he has exercised his faculties with great success In getting measures through Congress all through the last decade, and. Indeed, from the day he entered Congress, seventeen years ago, as a member of the House of Representative. His mind is quick, his Judgment good, his memory accurate, and he has that knowledge of Just how much is practicable and therefore worth fighting for, which seems as intuitive as though it were given by a sixth sense. He has a sense of humor and a goodhumored If not a humorous way which enable him to wait and to work with more facility than men who have them not and to carry his point In a bantering, laughing way when it would be difficult, if not impossible, to carry It in any other way. He is equally successful in the committee room and In the Senate chamber. He is not only a good talker In conversation anu a thorough diplomatist, who knows how to bargain, when to insist and when to yield, but he Is a ready, effective and at times eloquent speaker on his feet. He Is one of the best debaters in the Senate. He has all the quickness, the skill and the courage necessary for the most delicate fencing, as well as for rough-and-tumble wrestling. Sometimes, like all brilliant men, he is too brilliant, and overreaches himself, as he did last month when he tried to "bluff" the Democrats by asking them whether they would vote on a tariff bill at 3 o'clock that day. If he had stopped with proposing that they should vote on the Wrllson bill as It came from the House, as he had evidently planned, he would have had the Democrats hard and fast In his trap, for they could not afford to vote on the Wilson bill without opportunity to amend it, since probably ten of them would have voted against it and it would have been beaten. But Aldrich, becoming too bold under a tempting invitation from Lindsay, of Kentucky, amended his propostion by suggesting a vote on the bill with amendments, and this the Democrats were able to take up, and so his plan failed and he was left In his own trap. But he Is ordinarily too cautious to make such blunders, and as a rule he makes the point he has in mind. On the tariff question he Is an encyclopedia, either having every fact you can ask for already in his memory, or having a memorandum there pointing to a particular pigeon hole or page of a booK where it can be found. He knew a great deal of It before he took charge of the McKinley bill, when that came over- to ".he Senate in 1890, but after he had carried that bill through the finance committee, of which then, as now, he was the leading tariff man on the Republican side, and through the Senate, and through the confere-nce committee, he knew it all. Experts of every kind, the leading manufacturers In every department, and the leading importers in every line, had concentrated the knowledge of a lifetime respecting different features of the tariff and had placed their contributions before him. so that his receptive mind had obtained all that there was to be known on the subject. THE SISTERS COME IX. Tendency of . Men's Clubs to Open Their Doors to Women. New Y'ork Sun. The word "male" may or may not be stricken out of the Constitution. Whatever may happen in this respect. It is certain that women have the right to exult now because the, word "female" has found Its way quietly into many places from which it was formerly excluded. The victory Is the greater because it was won without a struggle by the women. The Initiative came from the men, and they found the enthusiastic sympathy on the spindle Elde that made the task an easy one. The victory is in regard to their privileges In men's clubs. There was a time when woman's opportunities to see the interior of a man's club were rare. Most of the club3 have always deferred to the rights of femininity to the extent of allowing an occasional invasion in the form of what they call a "ladles' day" two or three times a year, or of an exhibition of pictures. But such privileges gave hollow satisfaction. The women very' soon learned that every man who got wind of the coming invasion would get out of the way before the women arrived . at the clubhouse, and never put his foot inside the building until he was certain that they were well out of iL It was a small compliment to offer this share of club life to women, but it was the most that they had for a long time. The privilrges which the ne-s-er clubs offer to women ai? far more liberal. Taere are dining rooms to which the members are allowed to brinir ladies, ami there are fuUs of rooms set asid? for the use of the female relatives and friends of members. Some of the club3 have restricted the women to the rooms set apart for thern, and few go so far as the Arion and Lie lerkranz, wnich open the greater part of their houses to the privileged women. The I lea of admitting women 13 the privileges of a club was probably suggested by' persons familiar with the plan la the German clubs. Notwithstanding the growing strength of the movement which leads New York clubs to admit women, this citv hus b.'pn provincial in this respect Already In Westrrn and Southern cities women are very generally admitted to extended dab prlvdeges. The Pickwick, of New Orleans, which might In cillf-l tie representative rluo of the South, admitted the wives and friends of its members to th? restaurant. The Kame thing is true cf the Union Lagu" Club in Chicago: and In Louisville the Pendennls Club, the successor of the famous Old Kentucky Club, mikes a special feature of th2 privileges It extends to women. Tae supper and dinner parties which are given at the club are among the events of the social life of the town. The fact Is the more striking In the case of the Pendennls Club when one considers the popular reputation of Kentuckians in their convivial mood, tut the presence of women in the Pendennls Club la a very important feature of its existence. Of cours there are still a great many club? Jn New York which do not admit women, and for that matter probably never will, but the tendency of those organlz-d now H to make liberal provisions for their entertainment. It mlsht be interesting to pte,u!ite a3 to the c-use of the new move-
