dressed, others are in rags, in several i
cases the patients have brought their own

It is often asked, when an ocean-going ^
vessel has been lost at sea, and it is sup- ^
posed she has foundered, why none of T
her timbers rise to the surface again and

vessel has been sunk in deep water the ^
pressure to which it is subjected will be
so great that a certain quantity of water D
will be forced into the pores of the wood,
and thus render it so heavy that even

Mr. Hazen, the third assistant postmas- {
ter general, makes the following sugges- (
tions to the public: Write or print your (
name and address, and the contents of a ,
package, upon the upper left hand corner j
of all mail matter. This will insure it9 ]
immediate return to you for correction,
if improperly addressed or insufficiently
paid, and if it is not called for at desti- ,
nation it can be returned to you without i
going to the dead letter office. If the
patrons of the mails would avail themselves
of this privilege it would enable
the department to restore at least ninety
per cent, of all the undelivered matter.
Letters would be returned free, and the
parcels upon payment of the return postage.

A remarkable statement was ma'Je by
an English member of parliament in the
course of a recent debate in the house of
commons. He had vainly endeavored to
induce the government to lay upon the
table a return of the amounts expended
upon war ships and their present estimated
value. Failing to obtain official
information on the subject, he investigated
matters himself, and the result
which he announced considerably astonished
the house. ?It appears that the ex
isting navy of Great Britain has cost
01 n nnn nnn and fhat. ifa nresent value.

The Cincinnati Commercial- Gaetfte is
authority for the statement that "the affix
title of eso. is out of date, and its use is
in bad form. In addressing a gentleO
o
man now you must prefix Hon. or Colonel
or General as a compliment to his statesmanship
or military genius. Whether
he is President of the United States or
president of a ward club, the leader of
an army or the leader of a clique of
voters, it is all the same. In a case of
extreme doubt you may address him as
Mr., but under no circumstances is a military
title under the grade of captain allowable.
Sometimes, in accosting a man
whom you have already met, the slipping
of his name from your memory may cause
fimhnrrftssment.. but a little nresence of
mind will save you. Address him as
General, and you are all right."
The Rev. Henry "Ward Beecher was
given an informal reception recently by
Dr. and Mrs. N. A. Hyde, at their residence
in Indianapolis, on the occasion of
the meetiDg of the Indianapolis Ministerial
association. Mr. Beecher made
some remarks in which he recalled some
of his Indian experiences, among them
the following: "The baptisms in the old
time were interesting to the people.
Sometimes the ministers united for a pub
lie immersion. On one of these occasions
I had a big carpenter on hand. lie was
nearly seven feet tall. We walked into
the water together, and when I was in
nearly to my shoulders my friend was
hardly wetting his knees. I turned to
him and suggested that either this thing
would have to stop or I should have to
swim. Being a carpenter, he said he
would double up like a rule. "When he
was on his knees I got on very well.

some wild animals in the corral.
>he went in and found four mountain
lions, and, without a moment's hesita;:on,

The New York elevated railroads have

>00 repair men, constantly on duty. This
s an extremely large proportion of labor

where the men arc particularly exposed

On a well stocked farm near the village

healthy and active. This record has been

At 4:30 o'clock, the other afternoon, a tor- ^
nado struck the prosperous city of St. Cloud, ja
Minn., passed northeasterly through the ^
centre of the pla'-e, leveling everything in fc
its path, then ac: oss a narrow strip of prairie **
and through the town of ?nuk Rapids. The
path of the tornado at St. Cloud was right
between the resident and principal business bi
sections of the city. The freight depot of the
Manitoba Railroa 1 compauy was scattered be- ai
fore the wind like chaff, and every car on the
track was sucked in the mighty vortex and ) ]0
demolished. A drenching rain and terrific
lightning accompanied the rushing winds., a
adding to the horror of the situation. Many re
of the inhabitants seemed to have a promoni- m
tion of this disaster and sought the safety of
their cellars just in time to escape with their
lives.
The tornado began about 3 o'clock in the
basin of the Masonic cemetery, forming a P1
whirlwind of 1(0 feet in diameter. It took
almost every tree in the circle from the A:
ground or twisted it ofT at the trunk. Great I*
stones were torn up and c arried along with
the wind. Moving slowly along iu a north- ha
easterly direction it wrecked the Catholic ni
chapel and several houses. In its course A
across the prairie adjoining the town th
it completely demolished John Schwartz's
large brick housa and scattered fifty or more 0f
smaller frame houses like so many' feathers. svv
In most cases nothing was left to mark the as
cit/> nf tho Hw^llmcs but, the cellars. The
prairies were strewn with timber, furniture of
and clothing. The freight depot of the s^,
Mauitoba railroad was a total wreck. Numerous
cars loaded with freight were ,
blown half a mile and the rails wrenched ? ?'
from the track.
The Storm pissed th^ limits of the town 531
just west of Lieutenant-Governor Oilman's
residence, killing several horses. It crossed th(
the Misus-sipni at the Sauk Rapids wagon- th<
bridge, which it demolished. It here widened
to (500 feet and levelled Stanton's gristmill, op
From there it swept through the centre
of the town, taking the best a
business part of it, inelud- lo>
ing the court houss, hotel, public be!
school and every important business building
in town except Wood's store. The village is
virtually wiped out, ft ur-fifths of the buildings
\being leveled. The fatalities in St. '
Cloud, thought great, are not <vpnl iu ntimber
to those in Sauk Rapids. In every house Sj?(
most all the inmates were more or less hurt.
The storm is the worst known in the stats 3
since 1SS"{. when Rmhe?t3r ani Elgin were er,
devastated by a tornado. tia

Later report; state that the story was not pri
half toM in the first dispatches, and that the (
storm was the most deadly ever known, not nil
only in tlie Northwest, but in the United saj
States. The number killed was esti- wil
mated on the day nftT the disaster: At St. t
Cloud. 21; at Sauk Rapids. 41: at. Rice Sta- CQI
tion, 12., Over 200 persons were injured. It yr(
was thought that the number of deaths
would be considerably increased when more CQS
complete reports were received. The cyclone Qj\
destroyed everything in its path coveriue: a
space of fifteen miles long and 300 to 1,000
feet wide. a"'
Those who witnessed the storm at St. Cloud ?ur
say that a few minutes after 4 p. m. , the skies fot
became overcast with a dark cloua and a m '
great black ma^ rose over the hills southwest P?1
of the city, and came with great velocity Pl0
toward the western outskirts, in a direct line P01
for the Manitoba freight yard;. The clouds QrE
hung low and rolled over and over like smoke >
over a battle field, and were accompanied by on
a loud roaring and cracking sound. Prt
The cloud was funnel shaped of I
and the point dragged along the fin
ground. People had hardly time to flee to ma
their cellars and seek other places of refuce ter
before the whirlwind was on them and the Pre
air was filled with flyiner boards, shingles, fill
bricks and other debris, that was strewn over ten
the couutry and piled in heap?. The cloud j
came fi otn the southwest and moved in a
northeasterly direction until it reached the 0f,
river, where it; course was diverted, and it
followe 1 t-bs rfvor bank unt:i it reached Sauk cjn
RapiJft, whero it fciiined to tho left, passing trie
directly 1 hv:u?h the :cntre of the town. C0E
Just enough houses are left in Sauk Rapids .
In form a fringe around the village limits. ,,
The debris is not ni'edin beans, but scattered
far and wide. Tue sisni .Sauk Rapids o:i the
Manitoba depot and a b.iskctf"l of books were 1
found iu Rve Station, fifteen miles distant. Pai
This shows the terrible uower of the storm. t?0

Wliy a Large Silk Mill in Paters on jn(]
Has Shut Down. 1
William Strange, n silk manufacturer in En
Paterson. N. J., has employed about 1,200 r|"'
hands, and has had no difficulty with any of g!a
them till a few days ago, when a eigarmaker th
from Albany, N. Y., came to th3 mill and in- vei
sisted that the superintendent should sign a ^
paper which propose 1 to revolutionize the as
dyeing shop. The eigarmaker claimed to res
have the power to insist upon this agreement I
in behalf of the Knights of Labor. As C'h
this was not done immediately the cigar- (UK
maker went out. As he passed by the tw
dye-house he snapped his fingers, and agi
every man and boy quitted of
work. Tlie men declared that they were ^
Eerrecuy sausneu wiuu me wu^es ncnvcu, 0f
ut that they were compelled to obey the ,nj
order given. When overtures were then ^U1
made to Mr. Strange by a local represeutative
of the Knights of Labor, he said he
would shut down his mill just as fast as the
warps now in the looms were finished.
Whether he would ever open it again
would depend on the action of
the operatives. He proposed that j
the manufacturers and the operatives Q0,
throughout the city appoint a board of arbi- '
tration?five from each side?to whom all *
Questions of difference hereafter arising 'os
snould be submitted. He further said that ]
already this arbitrary course of the silk tar
dyers had resulted in the diverting of orders i
from the Paterson silk mills which would pQ,
have kept 1,000 hands busy for the next six
or eight months. j ^

BOYCOTTING A WOMAN.
How Mrs. Gray's Bakery Business
was Increased Thereby.
The New York papers contain a rather
,omnc?in<* a sin/Mint nf on V?TT a
UiiiUJiliQ UVWUUlf WL UU uvivai|/v WJ M
band of union bakers to boycott the bakery
of Mrs. Es har A. Gray, on Hudson street,
because she refused to compel her h?lp to join
the bakers' union. An account of the boycotters
and their methods is given by a metropolitan
daily as follows:
The men seemed to be in charge of a man
who called himself Schmidt and said he was
a "walking delegate." He refused to answer
any questions, and no one seamed to be able
or willing to restrain the men from annoying
pedestrians, whether customers of the bakery
or not. Outside ths store of Mrs. Gray, was
one lonesome-looking policeman, who simply
stood still and made no attempt to prevent
the molestation of customers by the boycotters.
In some cases customers were followed
to tbeir homes aud memoranda made of their
addresses.
Wh^e her tormentors were engaged in
their effort to wreck her business Mrs. Gray
was busily engaged in her store se'.ling her
bread, cakes and pies to her customers. "c$o
far as I have been able to judge," she remarked,
"my trade has increased since the
boycott was ordered. I have customers now
that did not come before, and the loss has
been from the very poorest class of trade.
My men have been kept busier than ever,and
I expect that business will be good right
along. I asked the police to protect me,
and an officer was sent here. He is
standing right outside the door. My customers
complain of being annoyed by these men,
but what can I do? I don't want to let the
iKjycotters run my business. Why should I?
My men are satisfied as they are; they don't
want to join a union, and what the^e union
men have to do with the matter I can't see.
They certainly take the cake, but I don't
think they'll get my bakery away from me."
The grocery stores in the neighborhood .
which sold Mrs. Gray's bread have all ceased
selling it, as a boycott was threatened against
them if they continued to deal with the

bread and cake at the bakery went to a
grocery store in the vicinity and ordered
some groceries. She asked the clerk to send
the bread, cake and groceries to her home.
"Whose bread have you?" asked the
clerk. !
"Whv, what difference doe3 that make?"
asked the astonished lady.
"Nothing; only if it's Gray's bread we
can't even send it home for you. There is a
boycott against it."
"Then if you can't send thi? bread and cake
you needn't send any groceries," remarked
the lady.
Many men living up town stopped at the
bakery duriug the evening and bought
bread or cake to take home as an evidence of
their appreciation of the stand taken by Mrs.
Gray. People living iu Hoboken also made
purchases on their way to the Christopher
street ferry. It was "rumored about the
Ninth "Ward late in the evening that the
boycotters were thinking of raising the siege

A FATAL VOLLEY. ?
_____
Ail East St. Louis Crowd Fired
Into by Officers. ? I
A Terrible Occurrence which Cost a
Number of Lives.
The bloody collision ^between strikers and
deputies at Port Worth, Texas, has been fol
lowed by a still more terrible and deplorableepisode
in East St Louis, I1L, on the Missis*
sippi river, and just opposite St Louis. The
trouble, as described by dispatches, came
about as follows:
The various railroads seemed to be moving
an unusually large quantity of freight V***
ticularly the Louisville & Nashville. When
the strike was ordered twenty-seven of
this company's employes left its
service. Their places were quickly -.1
filled, and thirty deputy sheriffs were employed
bv the company to protect the new
men and iteproperty. The officers were /
arm^l with Winchester rifles, some of then*
carrying revolvers also. T. G. Hewlett wai
made their leader. More than half the force
Kuarded the freight houses of the comoany,
while the rest of them protected incoming ana >
outgoing trains. Trains were continually pass*
ing to and fro from the freight houses all day,
and before 10 o'clock in the morning hundreds
of idle men and bovs and a few women
fathered on and about the rickety wooden
ridge that spans a small bedy of muddy water
known as Cahokia creek. The Louisville
and Nashville road running west crosses this
creek on a trestle.
At 10 o'clock 300 persons stood on the
i bridge watching the trains pass. The
rougher element cursed the trainmen, and
promised them at short shrift in the near future.
The depuiy sheriffs who stood on the
trestlework were treated in the same way.
Sheriff Roplaquet appeared with a small
posse and ordered the crowd to disperse. The
law-abiding persons in it did so. The others .
paid no attention to the demand. The ?v'<
sheriff left the ground at once and telegraphed
to Governor Oglesby the condition
of affairs and asked for military help. Meanwhile
the crowd had never moved from its '
position or changed its tactics except to grotr
more violent in its demonstrations against the
trainmen and their guards. It suffered desertions
but gained more than it lost, and at
2 o'clock the bridge and its vicinity was oo
cupied by a mob of 400 or 500 persons. Many

their hands, and when opportunity offered
hurled them at the armed men on the trestlework
or at the men on passing trains. Savage
curses and epithets were also hurled at
them. ?
Nine men stood on the trestlework. They
were between two crowds and faced about at
short intervals. The only on9 who exhibited a
revolver was Charles' Eensler, the "cowboy ;
fireman." He carried two pistols in hu
belt and had the barrel of his Winchester
slung over his left arm. The guard?
made no reply to the abuse showered on thezft
and the mob grew bolder. It stood on a
thoroughfare and felt safe. Finally one maa>
stepped on the company's property. Deputy
Hewlett promptly arrested him. A part of
tbe mob surged forward to the rescue. A
voice cried "Kill the cowboy." There wma
pistol shot, which in a few seconds
was followed by the ringing reports ot
Winchester rifles. The shrieks and yells thafr
rose from the crowd could be heard on<
the bridge, a third of a mile away. "Crack,
r?rn<Mr" wpnf. thft flan/lltr vifloa THo mviwrt
Split into two unequal parts and ran like mad<
in opposite directions. The small and the
weak were knocked down and trampled upoiv
Terror was king and drove all before nim.
The deadly hail had been fired at short range
against a solid wall of flesh and blood. The
guards were j?3mingly appalled at the extent
and nature of * the retaliationthey
had inflicted on their persecu- /: <
tori. On the bridge and roadway lay Mrs.
John Pfeffer, shot through the spine and
mortally wounded; John Bonner, a coaLv^i
miner, dead; Oscar Washington, a painter,
dead; Patrick DriscoiL, a Wabash section
hand, dead, anl Major Rychman, a rolling
mill employe, shot in the head and shoulder,
mortally wounded.
When the fleeing mob recovered from itsterror,
and turning saw its assailants in full
flifrlit t/iu-arH t.ha T/inuvilla pnr?
freight house, shouts rose from it of "Toarms. '
to arms," and men who stood over the dead
and wounded vowed they would have a terrible
revenge. Some of the wildest spiritsrushed
through the town calling on the
strikers and their friends to arm themselves
and kill all deputy sheriffs on sight >
Pale-faced men soon appeared cn the streets
armed with revolvers and shotguns. .Here
and there a man could be seen carding a
small coil of rope. The cry of "Haug them"
kept pace with that of "Kill them alt"' The
fleeing guards never stopped till they reached
the Louisville and Nashville freight house.
They quickly warned their comrades
to flee to St Louis for their
lives. Some of the men refused,
and barricaded the freight house with the intention
of protecting it against assault These
men were afterward com jelled to fly and
narrowly escaped with their lives. Hunting
parties were organized by their enemies, ana
every cranny that could possibly shelter a
deputy sheriff was searched.
The fleeing deputies were crossing the iron
bridge on their way to St. Louis when they
were met by Mayor Joyce, of East St. Louis,
and some officers, and asked to return, but
they refused to go back. Mayor Joyce and
Officer Dowd endeavored to drag two of the
guards with them. One of the guards who
wasnt in custody raised his rifle and fired ill
*he direction of the crowd, C. E. Thompson,
of St. Louis, dropped in his tracks, shot in the
etomach. At this report the two guards with
Mayor Joyce and Officer Dowd tore themselves
loose. One of them struck the mayor
with his clubbed rifle, knocking him down.
Both men at once joined their companions
and continued their flight across the Dridge.
The scene on the bridge was one of wildest
confusion and excitement. Coal trains
loaded and unloaded, and vehicles of all
descriptions engage! in a wild race to St.
Louis. Women anl men on foot were
running toward the city, and waving back
all thsy met, while immediatsly behind
came the deputies pursued by the vanguard
of the crowd from East St. Louis. One of
thp frifrVit-pnrvl cnards threw his crun into the
river, while another hid his weapon in the
load of a s ake wason that was in full retreat
Tha firing hid been heard in mid-river
by people on the ferry boats, who witnessed
an unusual scene on the levee. Frightened
horses dashed hither and thither, and while
hundreds hurried toward the spot
whence the reports seemed to come, as
many dashed in an opposite direction The
huge bridge shook and swayed as the line ot"
^ ATTOl* tt.
linraens? urdiu uui IUUUUCI cu v?v*
Teamsters shouted and acted as if destruction
was at tneir heels, and pedestrians were petrified
with astonishment as the long line of
vehicles flashed into Washington avenue at
rfoing pace. A crowd gathered instantly
and choked the entrance to the bridge.
Not more than thirty minutes after the
shooting C. R. Barnard, master of transportation
for the Louisville & Nashville road,
and James A. Chesney, another official, met
the mob near the eastern terminus of the
bridge. They had been at dinner near the
relay station and knew nothing of
the shooting. They were mistaken for
deputy sheriffs and fired upon. They
ran t) the Ohio & Mississippi freight house,
and there, instead of guards, met another
detachment of the mob, which also fired on
them. Chesney was shot through the legs
and fell. He was jumped on and kicked until
his assailants suoposed he was dead. Barnard
esca;>ed and gathered a number of
friends, who took Chesney to a place of safety.
He was seriously if not fatally injured.
Soon after these terrible occurrences a mad- .
dened crowd gathered in a square at East St
Louis. It was harangued by a .man named
mvver, wuo urgea tuo ueu tv uau^ auu
kill." A comraitt hj of the Knights of Labor
appeared from St. Louis, however, and counseled
moderation. Aftsr an exciting colloquy
the efforts of the Knights prevailed, and
tue crowd for the time being gave up it3 determination
to retaliate by burning and killing.
Upon receiving a telegraphic account of'
the shooting from the sheriff, Governor
Oglesby immediately dispatched several comganie's
of militia to the scene of disturbance,
even companies of militia arrived from
Springfield and other points, at East St.
Louis at 10:15, p. m. Three more companies
came later on.
During the night the freight house of tha
Louisville and Nashville road was set on fire,
and the Cairo Short Line depot was similarlyserved.
