The deci sion to strike came after a committee ad failed to secure any satisfactory re sponse to an ultimatum sent to Presi dbft Leslie Carter's home at 3 o'clock this mornmng. Over 800 meni are gut. The road, how ever, is not tied up, for as soon as the potce had been given to strike, the com pany pressed into service all the extra men they could get hold of, and the trains are now running with a good deal of regularity. - The strike is the first in the history oi the Chicago elevated railroads.

BRIM PRISON STRIKES TERROR TO GZOLGOSZ Upon Reaching Auburn As sassin Collapses. DRAGGED UP THE STAIRS When Being Stripped of His Ciothes For a Convict Giarb He Cried and Yelled In the Most Abject 3anner. Sends 3essage to His Father. AUBURN, N. Y., Sept. 27.-Czolgosz, President McKinley's murderer, in the custody of Sherif' Caldwell of Erie county and 21 deputies, arrived in Au burn this morning. The prison is only about 50 yards from the depot. Awaiting the arrival of the train there was a crowd of about 200 people. Either for feer of the crowd, which was not very demonstrative, or from sight of the prison, Czolgosz's legs gave out and two deputy sheriffs were compell'ed to practically carry the man into prison. Inside the gate his condition became worse, and he was dragged up the stairs and into the main hall. He was placed in a sitting position on the bench while the handcuffs were being removed, but he fell over and moaned and groaned, evincing the most abject terror. As soon as the handcuffs were unlocked the man was dragged into the principal keeper's office. As in the case of all prisoners the officers immediately pro ceeded to strip him and put on a new suit of clothes. Daripg this operation Czolgosz cried and yelled, making the prison corridors echo with evidence of his terror. The prison physician, Dr. John Gerin, ex amined the man and ordered his re moval to the cell in the condemned row, which he will occupy until he is taken to the electric chair. The doctor de clared that the man wes suffering from fright and terror, but said that he was shamming to some extent. The collapse of the murderer was a surprise to every one. Enroute from Buffalo he showed no indication of breaking down. He ate neartily of sandwicnes and smoked cigars when not eating. He talked some and ex. pressed regret for his crime. He said: "I am especially sorry for Mrs. Mc. Kinley." He reiterated his former staterent that he had had no accomplices and de clared that he never had heard of the man under arrest in St. Louis, who claimed to have tied the handkerchief over his hand, concealing the pistol with which the president was shot. He says the handkerchief was not tied. He went behind the Temple of Music, arranged the handkerchief so as to hide the weapon, and then took his place in the crowd. By Jailer Mitchell he sent this message to his father: "Tell him I am sorry I left such a bad name for him." HAD STORMY VOYAGE, Big German Liner's Fierce -Battle With the Elements. NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-The new twin screw steamer Kron Prinz Wilhelm ar rived in port today. She left Bremen on Sept. 17 and Southampton and Cher bourg on Sept. 1l. From the time of leaving Cherbourg harbor the huge steamer plunged into head seas with heavy southwesterly gales. The sea broke over the steamer's bow, smshng the forward sails, stove in the dekhouses and let the water in the for ward saloons. A companion way was smashed also. The weather was so rough the steamer was obliged to run under reduced speed for three days and a half. The screws were reduced to 50 revolutions. The great steamer was unble under these conditions to make any. attempt at record breaking and mc.st of the time only 9,500 horsepower was used. However, the speed increased when the weather moderated, and on Sept. 23 she made 564 knots and the next day 575 knots, which the chief engineer clagned to be the best day's run ever made on an initial voyage. The time of passage was six days, 10 hours and 15 minutes. Total distance, 8,045 kriots; average speed per hour, 19.74 knots. The Kron Prinz Wilhelm is built on the general lines of the Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse, but is 15 feet longer. TO SECEDE FROM SYNOD. Movement ot English Evangelical Lutheran Ministers. NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The English Evangelical Luthern ministers, the con f erence of~ whioh has just come to a close in Christ church, Brooklyn, have taken decisive steps to form an English synod of churches to secede from the present synod. The action taken by the conference will affect 35 churches in this and neighboring states. A communication, signed by all the pastors represented in the ministertum, is to be sent to the Ret, Dr. George 0. Has, president of the New York synod, asking for a letter of dismissal from that body and a certificate of character. From the arguments of some of the se cders it appeared that, whatever ao tion is taken with regard to the com munication by the New York synod, it will not affect the determination of the English to form a synod of their own. King Receives Ambassador Chouate. LONDON, Sept. 37.-King Edward re. ceived the United States ambassador, Mr. Joseph Choate, in audience at Marl borough house today and personally re newed to him his expressions of deep sympathy and condolence with Mrs. McKinley and the American people, al 'ady expressed in his telegra::s as the 'dne of President McKinley's assassi aation. ______ ___ Southern Postmasters Appointed.

An active life in the saddle has developed them physically and a splendid appearance is the result. In addition, they have manners cf un equaled suavity and polish, ti'e result of early years spent in th< harem. They are so habituated to think well of themselves as followvers of the true prophet that an uneasy conscience never troubles them. A man may be an utter secundrel. cruel and licentious, and yet be regard ed as~ a saint If he is descended from the prophet and conforms to the out ward ceremonial of Isiam. Ihis brow is frank and unclouded, his smile is even benevolent, and yet it would be impossible to describe the details of his life. Such are the Moors-an intcrest ing tableau vivant of nmany a chapter In :he book of Judges, or Samuel or te Kings.-African Review. His Record as an Abstainer. She-Are y;ou a total abstainer, Colo nel Blue Grass? He-Yes, ma'am. I haln't touched .. '~ nwainrfr4 er..Chlcngo Nows. Filthiest I:. . World. Port-au-Prii. . ital. is-by consent of all wi i' ia.l opportuni ty of comparin;; 't with other cities the filthiest place in the world. The town was laid out by the French, and the streets are wide. It is only their great width that makes them passa ble, for the roadway before his dwell ing is every householden's rubbish shoot, and slab sided pigs and starveling dogs perform all the sanitary offices for the town of Port-au-Prince save in the rainy season, when a heavier storm than usual comes to flush the open drains. 14t consequence the populace live in an atmosphere of combined cesspool and ash pit, which by all the laws of hygiene should produce chronic plague. The free and independent negro leads the life that most nearly approaches his ideal. They have a proverb in the country that "only white men, black women and asses work," and there is truth in it. The black man lies around all day sleeping in the sun. His utmost effort Is to play dice or watch a cock fight, but sleep Is his favorite occupa tion, and he can do that better than anything else. In the country dis tricts the old plantations have long since slipped back into the luxuriant overgrowth of the forest. In town any trading done is by the womeu and by foreigners. Undisturbed by the white man, to whom he is Insolent, the town bred negro is pacific enough. The only exertion demanded of him is to avoid the attentions of the police. Chambers' Journal. Uncle Mingo and the Waiter. Uncle Mingo was in town a day or two ago. It had been a long time since the old man had been to Savannah. and be rambled over the streets all the morning, impressed with the wonder ful things he saw. Naturally toward the midday be be gan to feel a little tired and very hun gry, so as he passed In front of one of the eating houses for colored people, of which there are several in the neigh borhood of the Plant system depot, the succulent piles of edibles in the win dows offered too great a temptation to be resisted. He entered the restaurant and sat down to a table. "All right, sab," said the affable waiter, coming up. "Wot'll it be?" "I want," said Uncle Mingo unct ously, "some o' dat fried fish een de winder an a piece o' dat pie." "Yes, sah. Wot else?" "I want some o' dat fried chicken. too, an some o' dem doughnuts." "Yes, sah. Wot else?" "I want some o' dat ham and some town bread." "Yes, sah. Wot else?" "An I want a cup o' tea." "Cup o' tea. Yes, sah. Wot kind o' tea?" "Wot kin o' tea I want?" replied the old man, with a severe look. "Wot kin you 'spec' I want? I want sto' tea, sto' tea. You t'ink I come on de train all de way from Possum Holler for to drink saccafrax ?"-Savannah News. A Tutor Who Maintained Ills Dignity. Dr. Chilmers always had a high sense of personal dignity. When a young man, he was engaged as tutor in a private family. His young lady pu pils resented his strictness, and the mother foolishly took sides with her daughters. In petty spite whei com pany was invited to the house young Chalmers was shut out from the table, and dinner was sent to his room. He made no protest against the treatment, but when it was attempted again he told the servant he had order ed a dinner at a neighboring town and should need nothing. When this had been done a few times, an explosion came. The master of the house called Chalmers to account for insulting his family. Chalmers replied that he had been insulted by banishment from the table. The young teacher conquered and ever after held his place as one of the family at all social gatherings. No Apparent Cause F~or Offense. It was the third day out on an ocean liner, and some of the passengers were just getting acquainted. A lady who bad made the trip many times lay com fortably in her steamer chair, when the pretty and stylishly clad daughter of a newly rich family stopped near her, and they drifted Into conversation. Presently the lady bowed to a pale faced man who walked by. "Whc was that?" inquired the girl. "That was Signor Slambangski, the famous pianist," replied the lady, who then went on to speak of the probable performers at the inevitable concert at the journey's end. "Oh, are there any musicianers on board?" eagerly inquired the girL "I beg your pardon?" said the lady interrogatively. The girl gazed at her inquiringly. "What for?" she asked.-New York Mail and Express. How She Rules Him. "Sknphlnt's wife certainly has re markable success in managing him. I wonder how she does it." "When he undertakes to deny her anything she really wants, she threat ens to sue him for divorce." "Does be care so much for her. then?" "Oh, no, it's not that, but he figures that it is cheaper to let her have her own way than it would be to either defend the suit or pay alimony."-Chi cago Post. A Question of Salutations. "What is your favorite salutation?" she asked the dilatory youth. "Eh! Why, I don't know. What's yours?" The fair girl yawned wearily. "It would have been good night," she saId.

A remark imputed to Victor Hugo in reply to a young man who asked him If it was difficult to write poetry is both witty and true, but it is more witty than true. "My dear sir," the poet is said to have replied, "it is either easy or Im posble!" A VERY CURIOUS BIRD. The One Young Mark Twain Sprung Upon the Selentist. Mark Twain's father was an ornithol ogist. He had several friends who were also enthusiasts on the subject of birds. Whenever any one of them dis covered a rara avis it was the custom to have a consultation. Mark had been a witness of several of these bird in quests and had noted the delight the old men .took in discussing a new found specimen. One day it occurred to him to provide the Uinnnibal orni thologists with a real ciryas in the form of a bird. Ile killed -, crow and also a barnyard rooster. Plucking out the tail feathers of both the crow and the rooster, he substituted the rooster's tail feathers for those of the crow, pro ducing a unique effect. Wheni he had the specimen nicely prepared. he went to his father and, banding it to him. said: "Here, father, is a very curious bird I shot. I thought you would be inter ested in it." The old gentleman gazed upon the specimen with astonishment. That evening the ornithologists of Hannibal were assembled in Mr. Clemens' par lor. The rare specimen was put before them. The discussion was long and learned. The opinions expressed were various. One thought the bird was an offshoot of the bird of paradise fam ily; others had equally ridiculous no tions as to its ancestry. But there was one who refused to be swerved by the peculiarity of the bird's tail from the judgment that it was of the crow fam ily. "Why,' just look here," he said, lift Ing the bird by its tail feathers. He got no further. The feathers came out. There was a quick closing of a door. Mr. Clemens started to leave the room.
