Chicago Carpenters Call Upon Englishmen for Co-Operation. Chicago, 111., May 5. According to the predictions of the Htockyard coopers, who are now on a strike, there is a probability of their cause being taken up by the Jnglish dock laborers and tho strike be coming international. At a meeting of the Brotherhood of United Labor.held this morning, a committee was appointed to communicate with John Burns, the Eng lihh leader, and to request him to order the English longshoremen not to handle any of the beef or other product shipped there by the Chicago packing houses. Tho committee wiy that Burns has taken great interest in the cause of the men at the yards and that for the past few weeks they have re ceived letters from him in which he ex pressed tho hope of visiting the United Mates this summer and investigating the labor situation. CAN'T WORK ANYHOW. CHICAGO, 111., May 5. The striking car penters read in tho afternoon papers of Saturday and the morning papers of Sun day that the arbitration committee had come to an agreement and that work was to be resumed for the new association today. Without waiting for orders from the strikers' headquarters, many of them went to work this morning. "When this fact was reported at tho headquarters, runners were sent out to pull them off. Secretary Howard, of the Carpenters' council, says the men will not be allowed to resume work till every point of differ ence between tho men and the bosses have been fully bettled, and this will, in all probability, not be accomplished before Thursday or Friday. Tho carpenters at the stock yards had resolved to go on a strike this morning, but evidently thought better of it as they went to work as usual. About three-fourths of the strikers of the planing mills, box factories and sash, door and blind factories have given in to the terms of the bosses, the ten hour day, and are at work. It is understood the re mainder will go back to work tomorrow. RAILWAY STRIKE SETTLED. Vienna, May 5.

All that is mortal of Dr. Patrick Henry Cronin, who a year ago Saturday night was lured to the den oi death in the Carlson cottage, was yes terday laid to rest in a grave on the cold and desolate beach front of Calvary ceme tery. Over 1,000 men and women who had known him in life braved the bleak wind and pelting rain to witness the final obsequies. The Sheridan Guards acted as guards or Honor ana tne Illi nois Drum corps, with muffled drums, the Ancient Order of Hibernians in their green regalia and the Catholic For est ere turned out to a large number. When the casket had been placed on the edce of the grave, tho brief offices for the interment of the dead were read by Father Muldoon, chancellor of tho discese, and after it bad been sprinkled with holy water, it was lowered into the tomb. Then the members of the ladies' committee began to strew flowers upon the coffin lid and, before the two wagon loads which they had brought with them had been exhausted, the grave was filled to the brim. The drum corps beat a tattoo as the heavy stone was rolled over the tomb, and sealed and cemented; the office for commitment was read by the priest and tho ceremony was at an end. It is intended to erect a monument over the grave at a cost of not less than 5,000, and also to beautify the surroundings until tho pres ent waste is converted into a garden. THE CLANGOR OF AN ALARM BELL Close by, in the stillness of the night, could scarcely startlo the ordinary indi vidual more than do triflng noises the nervous invalid. But once the nerves are braced and the system invigorated with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, this abnormal sensitiveness is succeeded by a tranquility not to be disturbed by trivial causes. Im paired digestion is a fertile cause of nerve weakness and unnatural mental gloom, and a vigorous renewal of the action of the stomack is one of the surest means of invigorating and quieting the nerves. In somnia, or sleeplessness, a form of nervous disease, is unquestionably benefitted by se datives, when it is prolonged or of frequent occurrence, but its permanent removal is more effectually achieved with the Bitters. This medicine is also signally efficacious for malaria, rheumatism, constipation, liver complaint and torpidity of the kid neys and badder. WKECKED BY WHTD. REFUSED TO GRANT THEIR REQUEST.

Do you know why the English people reckon money by pound (), or pound "sterling," in stead of dollars as we do? Tha following queer extract from Camden points to the origin of the word 'sterling':" "In the time of his sonne, King Richard, the First, monle coined in the caste parte of Germaaie began to be of speciall request in England for the puritie thereof, and was called Easteiling monie, as all the inhabitants of those partes ere called Easterlings.

All over Texas Ben Thompson's note was negotiable paper, and no man who ever pre sented him with a bill was treated with any thing but polite business courtesy. I was introduced to Thompson at Austin, Tex., and the meeting was not in a saloon, a gambling hous, not even a hotel. The place was a quiet, orderly ice cream parlor, and Ben Thompson and his wife were eating strawberry cream at a table near by to a co terie of high school girls, one of them being a daughter of ex-Governor Ireland, of Texas. Thompson was a small sized man, yet not slender. Ho was elegantly, yet not showily dressed; his clothes indicated a correct taste, a diamond stud and a thread of gold watch chain comprising all his personal jewelry. He was a handsome man of 45, with small, black mustache and hazel eyes. Yet this man had a record of having killed thirteen white men and twice that number of Mexicans and Indians. A few months later he was himself killed in San Antonio, along with Kingfisher, in a hand-to-hand conflict with two other men iu the Vaudeville theatre. He was never known to take an unfair ad vantage of an enemy, a number of his victims having had the first shot at him. Onco in a store ho ordered a man with whom ho was en gaged in a lively dispute to go outside and pass around the block to the right; he would pass around to the left, and meet him. They did 60, the man blazed away at Thompson with a shotgun loaded with buckshot, missed, went into tho air at tho crack of Ben's re volver, and fell a corpse. And thustvith every case of Thompson's numerous killings, the preliminaries were al ways flavored with a dash of dramatic sen sationalism. As Thompson and his wife passed out of the ice cream bazaar I noticed that hhe had but one arm. Tbo other had been shattered by a Winchester ball in Denver, when she threw it across Ben's head upon discovering a crouch ing form drawing a bead on him. At tho time of his death Thompson was city marshal of Austin. St. Paul Pioneer Press. His Mistake.

Ttrrill, of New York, in some practical tests in producing electric light by using illuminating gas for driving a gas en gine and a Perret dynamo. Naturally one would suppose that tho loss due to tho double transformation of energy in producing the electric light from illuminating gas by this means would place the cost of tho electric light far above that of gas. On the contrary, however, Mr. Tirrill has found to his surprise that a given amount of gas will produce far greater illuminating effects wheu used to drive the dynamo than when burned direct. The gasoline gas is p-oduced by his machine for SI per 1,000 feet. The engine, it Is found, consumes four feet of this gas per -ixteen can dle power lamp per hour when driving the dynaino under full load, making the cct per lamp two-fifths of a cent per hour, to that the luxury of the electric light by this mean, instead of being exponsivo, he finds in reality to be a great economy. Mr. Tirriil explains the phenomenon by the fact that his gasoline gas contains SO per cent, of air when deliv ered at the explosion chamber of the eugine, and he gets the benefit of the expansion of tais large volume of air by the heat of thf explosion.

Van Dsrc't If we may judge prehistoric man by his modern representatives we may assume that mark fishing was carried on at a very early day; 60 very early, in fact, that not the slightest proof remains or even a remnant of the early Walton. In geological maps of America, during what is known as the tdr tiary age, we find it occupying a much more restricted area than at present. The south ern states were largely under water, and Florida was but a shoal beneath the waves. In tho immediate vicinity of Charleston, S. C, from the bottom of the river bed have been taken the remains of some sharks so Bug gestivo of gigantic size that tho modern man eater 13 dwarfed in comparison. The remains consist of teeth, huge deviated specimens, in jome instances almost as large as a woman's band, many times larger than those found in large sharks of today. The writer onco had the curiosity to arrange a number of these teeth after the model of a modern shark, aud tho result gavo a fish largo enough to swallow ahorseentire; and as for length, 125 feet must have been the dimensions of these monsters. If a shark fourteen feet long is sufficient at the present day to terrify any one, what must have been the effect of tho appearance of this tertiary giant? Like tbo groat whales, it re quired deep water to float it, and doubtless was only attacked when by accident it be- 3ame stranded on the shoals. DOW TOET WSKE CATTUKED. At such a time the fishermen may have put tff in their rude crafts and aided in its cap tore perhaps fastening it with cables ic driving logs of wood into its vulnerable parte. To capture such monsters by any other means must have been impossible. The largest boats would hardly have withstood tho struggles that must have ensued after an attempt at japture by spear or harpoon, a'suming even that such weapons were known. Once en trapped in shallow water we can imagine that the sight must have been a rtriking one; tho normous fish, far more active in this condi ;fon than a whale, beating the water with blows of itspowerful tail, making frantic and mighty rushes this way and that, snapping the great cables like threads, capsizing the rude boats and spreading terror and destruc tion everywhere A man to ono of these mighty sharks would be almost unnoticeable, and we can imagine that such a huge creature must have been apoa a continual forage to apposeo its appe tite. A moderate sized whale would have oeen legitimate prey, a our ordinary man saters of today have been known to swallow aearly an entire hore. At this time many strange creatures thronged the ocean, and doubtless animal life was made much more profuse than at present. Any one who has seen a shark of large size moving along beneath the surface can realize tho terror they produce in nil observers, x j:oDzas rxpzRisscE. The writer oace hooked a shark about four teen feet la length, Tae brute was towing the heavy boat at steamboat speed through the water, my man crouching in the stem, which was high in 'air, while I wa engaged it the bow, in keeping the lice in the notch, slip from which would have tipped as over.
