The experiment of profit sharing with employes, which has been adopted by the Toledo, Ann Arbor and Northern Railroad, marks a distinctive advance in the co-operative idea. Quite a number of firms and private companies in the United States have adopted the system, but so far as known this is the first effort of the kind ever made by an American railroad.

The raisers do not expect to have any monkeys to throw down the nuts, but they will rely on American ingenuity to construct appropriate ladders for the performance of the necessary duty.

Of this amount. 120,000,000 < busheb will be required for home consumption before next harvest, leaving only 60,000,000 bushels to export. For ' the year ending this August, Great Britain and Ireland will be obliged to import 150,000,000 bushels. France has a short wheat crop and will have to import 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 bushels during the summer. The only influence that can keep down prices is the fact of an unusually large wheat crop in Australia. The general tendency is toward higher priccs, and no fall is likely to occur during the next eight months. Near-sightedness is increasing in all parts of the civilized world. So affirms Dr. Cohn, of Breslau, who examined 12,000 cases; Drs. Derby and LoriDg, of New York, who examined 2,265 cases, and Professor Anderson X. Ellis, A. M., M. D., of Cincinnati, who examined 1,797 cases in the schools of Hamilton and Oxford, Ohio. Defective or abnormal eyesight is a deformity which the schools should guard against as far as possible. Jt is a detriment to success not to have good eyes, and glasses are inconvenient for many purposes. Yet we are told by those whose authority is unquestionable that those countries whose schools are the best contain the greatest percentage of myopic people. Defective light, poorly warmed and poorly ventilated school-rooms, and lack of out-door life, are altogether the leading causes of nearsight among children in school. A BIG LOCKOUT. The Master Builders of Chicago Suspend all Operations. "Rnt.li "Flmnlnvftrs and Workmen Determine to Hold Out. A big lockout of workmen employed in the building trades in Chicago has been brought about by the employers, who have suspended all operations. The master builders and contractors of the city have declared war to the knife upon what they call the arrogant dictation of trades unionism in all its forms. Over 300 members of the Builders' and Traders' Exchange have combined to defy and, if possible, break down the Bricklayers' and Hod Carriers' Unions. At a meeting the President of the Builders' Exchange, George Tapper, said: "A few weeks ago we had the carpenters' strike, which was settled in a way satisfacto neither side. Then we had the laborers' strike, and now, on a paltry whim, we have the bricklayers' strike. This is more than we can stand, and we have determined to stop it. Business of all kinds is injured by these senseless strikes. This is the greatest est strike ever seen in the city of Chicago, and every citizen of Chicago is interested, every workman is interested, every | man who owns or ever expects to own a dollar's worth of property is interested. Every man engaged ifl -the building business, whether a member of the Exchange or not, is invited to give his views, but we want no agitators." The demands and purposes of the master masons are: No more walking delegates; no more interference with boys who wish to learn a trade to support themselves in after life; no more dictation as to pay days or anything else, and no more buildiug in Chicago until the backbone of the unions is broken. The main hope of the master masons is that th.' International Bricklayers' Union will refuse to countenance the strike. Chicago and San Francisco are the only cities in the United States where the local bricklayers' union is not affiliated with the International. It is asserted that there is a strong feeling of enmity between the two organizations, growing out of the fact that the Chicago union refused to recognize the "working cards" of the International.and compelled every bricklayer who came to the city to pay $25 initiatiofi fee before allowing him to work. It is thought that an application to the International for men by the bosses, either directly or through an advertisement, will flood the town with bricklayers who will ignore the local union. On the other hand tne bricklayers and hodcarriers are defiant and aggresive. They declare that they have ample means to carry thorn through the lockout, ana tnai tney can bring the bosses to terms. At their meeting it was expected that some dissatisfaction among the Gernjaii element would be manifested, but there was nothing of the kind, and without a dissenting voice the meeting, which was attended by over 3,000 men, adopted a resolution to strictly abide by the action of the union in demanding a Saturday pay day every two weeks, and refusing to work on any other terms. Never in the labor troubles of Chicago has the conflict between employer and employed assumed bo uncompromising a shape, and the outcome is awaited with great anxiety and interest LATER NEWS.

' i ( Calvary Jo Aitl. in Enforcing the ^ President's Proclamation. The General Land Office has found it necessary to resort to extreme measures and has A Jemanded of the War Department a troop of } earalry to move ujxm the barbed wire fence ] af the boundless West. Advices received in i Washington from Wyoming indicate that the rceat cattle comjKinies are not heeding the I President's March proclamation against il- J legal fencing of the public domain, and absolutely refuse to remove the entangling en- F nronment of their herds. They have inclosed ] with each township of land which they have _ purchased large numbers of unoccupied al- t ternate sections of public iand. They claim a the right to fence their own lands, and say they are not to blame. because the publiclands are included in the inclosure. The agents ? of the General Land Office have repeatedly ileniarH^d that th? oMriv/tions should be removed in compliance ~ith tug proclamation, but to no purpose, and the Secretary of the Interior requested of the President the aid of the military land forces of the United States to protect persons to be sent out to cut the S wire. The President has directed the Secretary of War to assign one troop of cavalry to take station at Cheyenne and act under the \ direction of the officials of the Land Office lo- ' cated at that pla<-e. It is inferred from what was said last spring by the representatives of i the heaviest companies in Wyoming that they ! will fight sturdily for the right to keep their fences, and an encounter between the cow- | boys of the companies and the cavalry forces is not improbable if this policy is pursued. justice woods. ; Death of a Member of the United States Supreme Court.

Hewasseriouslv ill in California about a month aeo, but I improved enough to enable him to come home. After *?> arrival he continued to grow worse. His disease was dropsy. Justice Woods was born in Newark, Ohio, and after receiving his primary education was sent to Yale College, where he graduated in 1845. Subsequently he studied law and began the practice of his profession in 1847. Entering into politics as a Democrat, he was elected in 1857 to the Ohio Legislature and made Speaker, and was re-elected to the same body two years thereafter. After the breaking out of the war of 1801 he went into the military service as Lieutenant-Colonel of the Seventy-sixth Infantry, serving until the war closed, when he was mustered out with the rank of brigadiergeneral and brevet-major-general. He was mustered out in Alabama,where he remained. Returning to legal duties and political life he was chosen a State Chancellor for six years, but after serving in this position for two years was appointed by President Grant Circuit Judge of the United States for the Fifth District, which office he held while in Mobile for a number of years. His promotion to the United States Supreme Court took place in 1880. t NEWS SUMMARY Eastern and Middle States. A two-teak-old daughter of Mi's. Heorge Moi-se, of Sawyer's Falls. N.

TURMOIL IN. TORONTO. Editor O'Brien Meets with a Turbulent Reception. His Speech Eeceived with Mingled fThpprs and TTtssps. William O'Brien, the Irish editor, met with a turbulent reception in Toronto on Tuesday. The train from Montreal containing the man who had como all the way from Iceland to denounce the Governor-General's treatment of his Irish tenants arrived in Toronto on time. An excited mob of 4,00) people surged round the train,and when O'Brien emerged from hia coach, followed by Mr. Kilbride, a storm, of mingled cheers,groans and hisses greeted him. Mr. O'Brien's sympathizers seemed to be in the ascendant. When O'Brien alighted, his hand was grasped by William Mulligan,President of the Toronto Irish National League. The two were immediately surrounded by a dozen policeman, who, after fifteen min" utes' hard work, pushed Mr. O'Brien through the crowd into his carriage. The Orangemen howled and groaned like mad, and several times made a rush toward O'Brien as if to seize him. They were beaten back with clubs by the police. In the carriage with O'Brien and Kilbride were seated President M ulligan and Secretary P. P. Cahill, of Toronto. The carriage horses, excited by the uproar, pranced wildly, ana there was another time of excitement, but the animals were finally quieted. Then all tlin rv\lioQ u'lirt u'orn fit*. fV\o I/UV J/VilUV ?? UV n V U 1? lliW UtUVVj IU the number of 100, surrounded the carriage. There were two files of mounted police in front of the carriage and two files in the rear. The other officers, carrying night sticks, marched on the sides and at the rear of the carriage. Each officer had strapped around his waist a belt in which was stuck a large navy revolver and a box of cartridges. As the carriage was slowly driven from the depot and the crowd continued cheering tumultuously for Lansdowne, O'Brien, Salisbury and Gladstone, O'Brien stood up in his carriage!, bared his head, and cried: "Three cheers for our friends in England and the cause they are struggling for." The Irishmen cheered and the others groaned. The crowd followed the carriage to the Rossin House, still cheering and groaning. O'Brien's face was as placid and cheerful as ever. The police escorted O'Brien into the hotel, and then guarded the hotel doors for half an hour. Then the doors were opened, and a stream of people passed in for an hour, and by O'Brien, who stood in the lower corridor of the hotel. They were introduced to O'Brien bj' President Mulligan, who is, by the way, the business partner of Sir John Macionald, the Canadian Premier. O'Brien slrook hands mSfli aoaU 4 TT4VU v/t CllClll. ,1. luigc DUUlJUCu UL I flowers was presented to him, and then the inevitable address. There was a tremendous cheer when Mr. Mulligan got through, and Mr. O'Brien, standing on the hallway stairs, said: "I can hardly express my high appreciation of the manner in which the people of Canada have sympathized with and supported this mission of ours. If the London Times had its way it would be treason to love us and death to defend. Thank God, the London Times is not going to have its way here in Toronto or anywhere else. It is cheap enough to find summer friends, but this is the time to test to the core the sympathy and regard of the people in Canada for Ireland, and I must say that it warms my heart to find how gloriously the old instinct of your Irish hearts has burst through every difficulty and danger to be with is on behalf of the poor struggling' Irish people.1' While the O'Brien reception was in progress at the Rossin House the hostile mob outside the hotel shouted imprecations on O'Brien's head. t'rias of "Kill him!" "Curse him:" and "Hurrah for King Billy 1" were heard on every side. The police made no effort to disperse the mob es long as no actual violence was attempted. Mr. O'Brien was not at all disturbed, and his voice rang out cheerily to each man who was presented to him. ' I am glad to meet you, sir. and I hope to have your sympathy for Ireland.*' In a short time the mob outside dispersed on its own motion. It was learned definitely max, me urange iouges oi me cicy.anu oi York count}', at a secret meeting, had decided. by a small majority, not to interfere with Mr. O'Brien by any officially ordered movement. The Orangemen outrank the Irish Catholics in the citv five to one, and popular feeling, numerically considered, was against O'Brien. At noon Company C , l."0 meu, of the Dominion Regulars Corps, were placed under arms in their barracks at the new fort, two miles from Queen's Park, where the meeting was held. The Queen's Park is in the northern part of Toronto, and covers abou t fifty acres. Before the crowd gathered the park presented a really beautiful sight, with its trees just leafing out and its bright green sward dotted with dandelions. In the centre of the park, under a canopy of trees, s'ooi the same platform from wnich Professor Goldwin Smith and the Right Reverend Bishop of Algoma denounced Mr. O'Brien Saturaay as a venomous and untruthful speaker. As early as 1 o'clock people began to pour op the wide Queen's avenue which leaas tc the park, but the earliest Orangeman oi Tory found a solid body of Irishmen, 5,00C strong, massed in front of the stand. By i o'clock 15,000 people were there. The policemen were bie men. most of then Orangemen. The crowd did nob manifest its temper or its opinions until Mr. O'Brien arrived, a little after 4 o'clock. His carriage was escorted by twenty mounted policemen, whn fnrrwl n wav throuo'h the crowd. It contained, besides 1tfi\ O'Brien, Mr. Kilbride and Messrs. Mulligan and Cahill of the National League. Upon the arrival of the carriage began a sceno of uproar and confusion of whion Toronto never saw tho like before, and which lasted until the meeting closed. When the Irishmen saw O'Brien they cheered wildly, and flung their hats in the air. At the same instant, from a lot of men on the right of the stage, came a series of yells, groans, songs, shrieks, and catcalls, so loud that people on the platform had to shout to each other to make themselves heard. President Mulligan stepped to the front of the stage and tried to speak, but the noise was redoubled. He could only shout into the ears of the reporters. Mr. O'Brien took off his hat, and, stepping forward, bowed low. The ovation that was given him by his sympathizers was a grand one, and for a moment its mighty shout rose above the din made by those hostile to him. But his friends were not there to shout, but to listen. and when he opened his month to speak the noise made by his enemies seemed to drive his words back. It was with the greatest difficulty that the reporters, who stood right at O'Brien's back and sides, could hear what he said, and it was at once apparent that, though 110 violence was meditated, it was ttie settled determination of the crowd to prevent his speaking. But Mr. O'Brien was not dismayed. He itood erect with flashing eye and curling lip, his whole body eloquent with indignation, and he hurled his sentences at the mob until the entire speech I10 had intended to give was delivered. During its deliver}' the mob tried other tactics besides making a noise. They endeavored in vain to push the Irishmen from their places in front of the stage, mil managed to get up live or six lights. Once or twice a litthe knot of them got right in front of Mr. O'Brien, but they were driven away. At these timas t here was a general statu [>ede of people on the outside of the crowd, all evidently thinking that a riot had commenced. The police made 110 offort to stop either the yelling or the pushing. Mr. O'Brien, when he got back to his hotel, said to a reporter: "The attempt to suppress roe will do Lord foner,4,?t?r.,a n criirvl (ilHll mnPfl hurt than it will me." Lord Lansdowne vouchsafed the following information to a reporter: "Mr. O'Brien labors under false information. I have always l>een disposed to treat my tenants with moderation and justice. I have investigated every case where injustice was complained of. I should have continued to do so had not the Land League interposed in my concerns. The statement that had been made tliat I borrow money from the British Gov8i*nment under the Land Improvement act of 1881. and loan it to my tenants at an increased rate, is wholly untrue. The charges that have been brought against my grandfather of cruel injustice and oppression are also falsa." O'Brien Mobbed. Editor O'Brien left his hotel in Toronto at i 8;3Q Wednesday evening for a^ walk and to get a "breath Of fres'.i tilt. r:e tvos accompanied by William Mulligan and D, P. Cabill of the National League, and by the New York newspaper correspondents. The crowd that had gathered groaned and hissed with vehemence and surrounded O'Brien. The Irish editor turned into Kings street, which bounds the Rossin House on the north, and walked down a block to Bav street. He 8tailed down Bav street to the South. About half-way down the street the mob surged around him and pressed him to the side of a brick building adjoining the sidewalk. He cried, excitedly: "Boys, this is not fair." Three policemen, who nad been following him from a distance, then pushed through the crowd, and managed to extricate him. He went down the street, with the policemen in his rear, the mob still increasing in numbers and violence. At the corner of Wellington street, which forms the south side of the square around which O'Brien was walking, a fight attracted the attention of the police and they ran off, leaving O'Brien 'unprotected. Instantly missiles began to be thrown. A rotten egg struck President Mulligffn in the back, and stones began to strike the houses before which O'Brien was walking, one of which knocked off his hat. He picked the hat up, and held it so as to protect his head as much as possible. Then he increased his pace up Well uiuju abicvt/f auu a. jjvritxt unii of stones, rotten eggs, sticks, and all sorts of missiles followed. J. U. Wall, the Associated Press reporter, was struck in the head with a stone and knocked down senseless. He recovered in a moment, and crawled into a little alley called Johnson's lane. O'Brien turned to the mob and cried: "You dogs, don't you see we are unarmed men P His cry was answered by a shower of stones and brickbats. Then he started to run. The street was unlighted, and O'Brien is so near sighted as to be almost blind in the dark. He tried to get into Sharp's jewelry shop, but the door was locked. Stones smashed the shop windows while he was trying the door. Then he ran into Thomas Lalor s bicycle shop, which is next door to the laundry. President Mulligan was with him. They ran through the shop, overturning the bicycles, and trampling upon them. The mob did I not follow them immediate!}", but remained outside the store, smashing the windows, and uttering the most horrible cries. They yelled: "Burn O'Brien!'' "Hang him!" '"Kill the traitor!" "Down with the dynamiters!" and the like. D. P. Cahill, Secretary of the National League, followed O'Brien and Mulligan into the bicycle shop. His head was badly cut in two places by the stones. Charles Cushman, a clerk in the office of the Crown Land Department, who happened to be in the store, seized O'Brien's hand and rushed with him out of the back of the shop into a courtyard. Thence by a crevice between two buildings the party crawled into a yard in the rear of the itossin House, and in a few minutes Mr. O'Brien was safely in his room at the hotel. Not a stone had; hit him, and he was absolutely unharmed. NATIONAL GAME, Orange, N. J., has five baseball ' earns, all made up of hatters.

The New York "Giants" were defeated two out of three games on their own grounds by the Washington Club, and nearly lost the third game. Spectators at these games frequently hissed the New Yorks for their many misplays. Evert spectator at a League baseball game has seen the umpire tear open a square box, tako a ball therefrom and toss the latter to the pitcher then in the box. Every baseball used in a league game must be officially scaled by the secretary of the League, and , the box must bear his signature. Before c taking the ball out of the box the umpire i3 required to see that the signature and seal are all right. Moreover, he must glance at the ball itself, and unless he finds Secretary Nick Young's name written on the horsehide cover he cannot put the Dan into -piay." i THE NATIONAL LEAGUE RECORD. _ , ..

Important Happenings in Various Sections of the World. Discovery of an Immense Silver Treasure in India. The Financial Secretary of India has advised the British Government of the discovery of an immense amount of treasure, estimated at over $25,000,000, which had been secreted in the palace of Gwalior by the late Maharajah. The treasure had been sunk in pits under the vaults beneath the Zenana,and the secret was intrusted to a few servants. The Secretary was present when the treasure was unearthed. After removing the earth to a depth of six feet the workmen uncovered great flagstones. Beneath these stones were several pits filled to the brim with silver, chiefly freshly coined rupees. In each pit was a plate recording the amount of the treasure and the names of the officials who had assisted in secretin? it. The Indian Government has taken the hoard as a loan from the young Maharajah. The native papers protest against this action of tne Government. They say that had the Maharajah been an adult instead of being under a regency controlled by the Government, be would never have invested his whole wealth in Indian securities. A question will be raised in Parliament as to whether the "investment" be not another name for seizure. A Fatal Enconnter With a Lunatic. Mr. Busch, the overseer on the Woodland plantation, fifty miles below New Orleans, was shot a few days since and seriously, i< not fatally, wounded by a crazy man named Wilson. The lunatic was armed with a double-barreled shot gun, and attacked the overseer in the field, emptying both barrels of his gun into him, breaking both of his legs. He then retired to his cabin, in which he fortified himself for a seige. Sheriff Thibaut summoned a posse to assise him in capturing the murderer. Among those who offered their services were Mr. George Osmond, late editor of the Mascotte, of New Orleans, and of the Plaquemine Protector. The party went to the man's cabin and called upon him to surrender. Williams poked the muzzle of the gun through the crack and fired; wounding Osmond fatally in the neck. The posse set fire to the cabin, and when Wilson ran out they shot him. Osmond was a man of pluck. While editor in New Orleans some months ago he was attacked by two men in his offiee, and killed one of the assailants?Robert Brewster, State Register of Voters?wounded the other, and was himself wounded. A Failure for $1,100,000. , Swan Brothers, cattle men, have made a general assignment at Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory, for the benefit of all creditors. Liabilities estimated at $1,100,000. The firm consists of Alexander and John Swan. It is learned from the best authority that the assets of the firm will be largely in excess of the liabilities. The di direct cause or uie suspension was an action for attachment brought against A. H. Swan by the German Savings Bank, of Davenport, Iowa, on a note which had been signed by Swan as security and on which no ultimate loss could occur, because the bank was fully * protected by the property of the principals. This action of the bank caused a run on the firm, and after $85,000 had been paid out it was decided to suspend in order to protect the property from sacrifice. The Trial of Jacob Sharp.
