Injunction Forbids
Men To Join Union
1500 Will Strike.
Economy Shoe
Washington, D.C.—Fifteen hundred
hundred motormen and trainmen em
ployed by the Pacific Electric Com
pany are preparing to strike August
8 against an injunction restraining
them from joining thg Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen. The company
is the property of the Southern Pacif
ic Raifrpad Company and the strike
may extehd to the entire system.
James Farquharson, vice president
of the brotherhood, and M. E. Mont
gomery, vice president of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, are
also enjoined from organizing the
employees. After a conference held
Farquharson announced the date of
the strike.
The situation is. similar to that
facing the miners In_ the Hitchman
Coal Company case. The employees
had signed a contract with the com
pany not to join a union. Recently
they asked for certain concessions
and were ignored. Then they rushed
to join the union. Judge Bledson of
Southern California issued an order
restraining Farquharson and Mont
gomery from organizing the em
ployees. The road had 1,096 mile* of
track in Southern California.
Ta Be Used In The Dances
Of Stage Employes
Something new in this city but
which has been making such a great
hit in other cities will be the use of
electrical effects in the dances of the
Stage Employes to be held on the
Moose Lawn, Tuesday and Wednesday
evening, August 19 and 20. The
electrical effects as used by the
"Stagies" will make the dances the
most beautiful ever seen in this city.
The dances are to be given in con
nection with the annual lawn fete
of the Stage Employes union. A num
ber of vaudeville acts will also be
staged. These are to be free to all
those wjio attend. The popularity of
this organizations annual events will
no doubt draw an immense crowd.

The Retail Clerks Are Going
To Play Ball.
Onepassing the Emergency hospital
is impressed with the idea that an
other epidemic of the "flu" is ap
proaching but upon inquiry is in
formed that the advance preparations
are being made because of the an
nouncement that two teams of the
Retail Clerks are going to hook up
next Wednesday in a game of base
ball and it is expected that there are
going to be many sore limbs and
shoulders. Professor Chas. Ebel, of
Jazz Band fame, has the arrange
ments in charge. Brother Ebel is
not just certain at this time just how
he will line them up, whether it will
be the marrieds against the singles,
the olds against the youngs, the fats
against the leans, the jollies against
the grouch's or the he's against the
she's, but he is determined that there
will be two teams in the field. The
announcement has stirred up much
interest and no doubt the attendance
will exceed that at the Reds-Giants
game in Cincinnati last Sunday.

BURMA PRESENTS A PARADOX
Most Mournfitl of Religions Firmly
Established Among Most Cheer
ful of All Races.
no country of the world Is Budd
hism so firmly established as in Bur
ma, according to the Churchman. It
is a curious coincidence that one of
the most cheerful and light hearted
races has adopted what is perhaps the
most mournful religion that exists in
the world. If one wants to realize the
lmpassubie gulf between the pessimism
of Buddhism and the optimism of the
Burmese, between the despair of life
which stamps the one and the deter
mination to enjoy itself which is so
marked a characterization'of the oth
er, one must see these Burmese cele
brating a religious festival. E. F. Trot
man, who has been working undei^ the
bishop of Rangoon, describes the fam
ous pagoda least at Shwe Dagon:
"The pagoda stands ou a hill, gleam
ing for miles across the levels. Four
long covered stairways lead up to a
broad level platform SOU by 90C feet,
surrounded by shrines «od pagodas of
every size and description, and in ev
ery stage of barbaric splendor. In the
midst springs the great pagoda, 37t
feet high, covered with gold plates be
low, gilded to the summit, where it is
crowned with a royal hti or umbrella,
studded with precious stones and jew
els. JIhe whole court Is full of a seeth
ing. joyous crowd, which is continually
being re-enforced as new parties
swarm up the stairs, blowing great
conches or shells to proclaim that
they are bringing their offerings to
the monks. They will go to one or oth
er of the shrines and intone their
Buddhist devotions, proclaiming that
all is sorrow, and then give theii*selves
up to unmitigated enjoyment, and
watch the dancers or the mimes. My
riads of candles, burning in honor of
'Him who found the light,' illuminate
the shrines and the pagoda base, dim
ming even the glorious moonlight into
which above the pagoda is seen to
tower."
DRAMA OF THE MIDDLE AGES
Miracle Plays Were Popular Among
the Great Guilds of England in
Fifteenth Century.
In England, during the middle ages,
though no theaters were built, some
forms of dramatic entertainment were
extremely popular, and were carried
on with much splendor of dresses and
other properties. In the fifteenth cen
tury almost every one of the great
guilds or secret fraternities acted
some sort of miracle play, usually
chosen with reference to the patron
saint of the guild.
Inventories of the theatrical proper
ties of some of these guilds still ex
ist, and in some cases the list includes
the most gorgeous silk and gold dam
asks and magnificent damascened
armor, altogether worth In modern
money some thousands of dollars. The
story of St. George rescuing the prin
cess from the dragon was a very favor
ite subject, the princess being clad In
the richest dress, adorned with real
Jewelry of high value, and St. George
wearing very costly and elaborate ar
mor. The dragon was an Immense
monster made of leather, large enough
to contain seven or eight men, who
worked the various parts of its body.
Cocoanut Raft*.
Cocoanut palms grow luxuriantly In
many parts of the Philippine Islands
and there is a large demand for the
nuts among the people who live in the
cities apd towns. The method of bring
ing them to the market at Manilla is
both simple and picturesque. The co
coanuts are brought to the banks of
the River Paslg, a rough framework
of bamboo poles is constructed, and on
this the nuts are piled so as to form a
raft. Three or four men then pole the
carious craft down stream into the city

"CAROLINE WAR" WAS SHORT
Border Trouble Between United States
and Canada Threatened for Time,
However, to Be Serious.
The "Caroline war" was a border
trouble between the United States and
Canada, in wrhich a few persons ^-ere
killed, hut the trouble did not last
long. In 1836-7 there was a strong re
publican spirit rife In parts of lower
Canada which culminated in Decem
ber, 1837, In an unsuccessful Insurrec
tion In Toronto. The leaders of the
Insurrection fled to the United States,
and one of them, a newspaper man
named Mackenzie, with 25 or 30 men,
including a few from the American
side who had joined him, seized an is
land in the Niagara river and set np
a provisional government. Their navy
consisted of a steamboat called the
Caroline, and one dark night while she
was lying on the American side a party
of Canadians crossed the river and
burned the boat, killing several men
on board of her.
The affair caused great indignation.
President Van Buren Issued proclama
tions demanding observance of the neu
trality laws. The New Yofk militia
was called out and placed under com
mand of Gen. Winfleld Scott. Presi
dent Van Buren characterized the
burning of the Caroline in American
waters as "an outrage of a most aggra
vated character" and concluded by ask
ing congress for "such appropriations
as the circumstances in which our
country is thus unexpectedly placed re
quire." The affair dragged along a
few years, but was finally settled with
out further bloodshed.
Anticipating another banner puul
try year, he recently bought a larse
number of new coops and pens. Pre
miums offered in this department to
tal more than $3,000. Of this, $!9tJ
will be awarded 011 ducks.
