Fencing for Exercise.
The enormous value of continual
practice with the foils as a means of
securing and preserving good health
is, in my humble opinion , the main
reason for the steady hold of fencing
upon pubic favor in France and Italy,
comments Frederick A. SclTwab in
Outing. It is only of late years that
the attention bestowed by medical
men upon physical exercise — in
France, at least, where Dr. Lagrange’s
treatises have become classical —has
given prominence to the worth of
fencing as a health-factor. Every
one knows—or rather everyone
should know —that fencing presses
into service every muscle of the hu
man frame; that it creates and devel
ops suppleness and quickness; that
it is not a violent exercise, in so far
as injury by strain is involved; and,
finally, that its perils are compara
tively few. The proportion of mis
haps to the number of fencers, how
ever, is infinitesimal.
Marcella Sembrich, the opera sing
er, is not bereaved of her husband,
Wilhelm Stengel, as the first dis
patches said, but it is her husband’s
brother Emil, a Dresden art dealer,
who has died. It is noted that in the
course of her four years before the
American public she has been pursued
by one grief after another, —the death
of her son, of a son of Ker husban'
by his first wife, of her husband’s
mother, of whom she was very fond,
and now of his brother, while last
year she found her own mother seri
ously ill on her return home.

RAIN DAMPENS
STRIKERS’ ARDOR
DISTURBANCES DECREASE IN
CHICAGO STREETS.
UNIONS FOUND GUILTY
Officers Convicted of Entering Into
Conspiracy to Drive a Man Out of
Business —Court Says They Are
Without Love or Respect for Law
or Rights of Others.
Chicago, May 12. —The teamsters’
strike yesterday was practically with
out incident. Driving storms of
wind and rain which swept the streets
at frequent intervals had tne effect
of driving a majority of the pickets
from their posts and there was prac
tically no disturbance of any kind in
the business section of the city. On
the outskirts, however, there were a
few attacks made upon (Trivers of de
livery wagons, but with Die exception
of one colored man who was knocked
senseless by a stone nobody was in
jured.
The most important part of the
strike was the examination of wit
nesses yesterday afternoon before
Master in Chancery Sherman, who is
taking testimony relative co the al
leged violation of the federal injunc
tions granted in favor of the employ
ers’ association and of the express
companies.
Adolph Pfeil, for 11 years an em
ploye of the United States Express
company, but now a striker, refused
to answer questions on the ground
that he might incriminate himself.
This caused a long wrangle between
the attorneys for both sides, which
was terminated by the master in chan
eery announcing he would report
witness’ refusal to the court.
Charles Brown, an employe of the
United States Express company, tes
tified that he had been beaten by
strikers. On cross examination he
said revolvers were issued to the non
union men by Mr. Copely. The de
mand of the strikers’ attorney to
know why the non-union men were
armed in violation of the mayor’s
proclamation brought on another long
wrangle. After hearing the testi
mony of Edward Buckley, a striker
who said he did not continue at work
because he was afraid of being killed,
the hearing adjourned until today.
Union Agents Guilty.
Chicago, May- 12.—Five business
agents of the labor unions were de
cared guilty yesterday by Judge Chyt
raus of forming a conspiracy to drive
John M. Stiles, a contractor and
painter, out of business. On the
same decision the officers and mem
bers of the six labor unions, defend
ants in the case, are restrained from
interfering with Stiles or his busi
ness in any way.
Stiles alleged that for ten years
members of various labor organiza
tions had conspired to call strikes and
raise boycotts against him until oth
er contractors were afraid to allow
him to bid on their work.
In his opinion Judge Chytraus de
clared: “Lawless unioning cannot be
permitted, and these men are shown
to be without love or respect for law,
and without regard for the legal
rights of others.”
Censure Drives Girl to Take Acid.
La Crosse, Wis., May 12.—Censured
by her parents for being out late at
night, Miss Bessie Manning, a pretty
young woman of 23, attempted suicide
by drinking carbolic acid at her home.
Miss Manning was formerly a popular
telephone girl, but lost her position
through being the leader of a strike of
the employes. She has brooded over
this matter until she became despond
ent. It is believed she will recover.
Lamb With Eight Legs.
Manitowoc, Wis., May 12—A lamb
born on the premises of Joseph Gubin
of Maple Grove is exciting the wonder
of the people in that .section of the
country. The animal is the possessor
of a double set of four fully developed
legs, together with a part of two
bodies and one head.
Indians Not to Get School.
Green Bay, Wis., May 12. —The 200
Indian children who attended school on
the Oneida reservation prior to the
burning of the government school
building recently, may be without reg
ular school quarters next fall. Supt. J.
C. Hart of the reservation has been L*i
formed that the general Indian depart
ment has no funds for new appropria
tions. The estimated cost of rebuild
ing the school is about $12,000.
Average Speed of 12.85 Knots.
Newport, R. 1., May 12. —The gun
boat Dubuque in a four hours’ speed
trial yesterday made an average
speed of 12.85 knots. The sea was
rough at times and the wind fairly
strong. It is announced that the boat
will be accepted by the government.
The contract called for 12 knots.
Stove Manufacturers Elect.
Chicago, May 12. —The national as
sociation of stove manufacturers yes
terday elected Walter P. Warren of
Troy, N. Y., president, and T. E. Ho
gan of Chicago secretary.
Black Death, Plague, Rats, and Fleas.
The origin and nature of the Black
Death, which devastated Europe dur
ing the Middle Ages, has never been
clear. It seems certain that the in
fection was brought by the ships of
certain traders escaping from the
Crimea, where they had been attack
ed by the Tartars at a town on the
River Don. During the attack the
Tartars were stricken with violent
plague, which caused great loss of life
among them. In the hope of giving
the curse to the pople of the besieged
town, they threw bodies of their dead
into the town. Their hopes were
fulfilled, and the defenders were also
attacked by the plague. These trad
ers took to their ships and sailed to
various European ports, Constantino
ple, Venice, and Genoa, leaving the
Black eDath everywhere behind them.
This Black Death had certain striking
features in common with the Bombay
plague of India. A careful search in
the records of Indian history has
shown that there had been an out
break of plague in India just previous
to the time of the Tartar siege and
the introduction of the Black Death
iito Europe. These Tartars might
very easily have taken the disease
from the people of India. If that is
the true story of the train of events,
then the Black Death of the Middle
Ages was the modern plague, a dis
ease which we know to be caused by a
certain specific bacillus.
Efforts have been made to learn the
means by which this disease is car
ried ,and what causes lead to an out
break. Certain facts bearing on these
points have lately come to light and
may load to a correct knowledge of
rhe means of plague transmission.
Rats have the disease and rat fleas
have been examined and found to con
tain quantities of the plague bacilli.
Ordinarily the rat fleas are not found
on man. During epidemics of plague,
however, these rat fleas are found in
notable quantities on human beings,
and there is no evident reason why
thy might not inoculate man by their
bites. Doubtless, these things have
something to do with the spread of
plague, although enough is not yet
known to allow the whole chain of
events to be made out. —Collier’s.
Racing Does not Improve Horseflesh.
The race horse is a tool of the
game, just as ivory chips are tools of
the game of afro. Would ivory-chip
carving, and a consequent faro game,
improve the breed of elephants? Is
racing, with its felon corollaries of
murder and larceny, women disgraced
and men destroyed, the one lone hope
of the horse? With its horses like
greyhounds, good only for a mile,
does it produce those draught animals
that Rosa Bonheur painted? Did it
give us the cob, or the carriage, or
the slow horse? Cattle and hogs
have been carrid in their culture to
extremes! heights. And yet when
and where were Durhams or Berk
shires raced? To improve the breed
of horses! After this solemn assur
ance—writ in the law i! is—one is pre
pared to hear that the famous goose
and turkey race, run on rhe Brighton
read a century and a third ago, was
proposed by Mr. Berkley and arrang
ed by Colonel Hanger with a purpose
of improving the breed of those con
tending fowls, and not, as history sup
poses, to rob the Prince of Wales oi
fifteen thousand guineas. Some thief
caught stealing the communion serv
ice, or the candlesticks from the altar,
will yet explain that he does it to im
prove his soul. Allied Henry Lewis
