Great Consternation.
New York, Oct. 8.—Promptly at 12
o’clock tonight the entire force of com
positors, pressmen, sterotypers and
other attaches of the mechanical depart
ment of the New York World went on a
strike, causing consternation to the man
agement, and at 12:45 work In the build

to be sympathetic with the employes of
George R. Read, who has charge of the
Pulitzer building, and hires the elevator
men, engineers and electricians. The
trouble started several weeks ago, when
several elevator conductors struck on ac
count of a reduction In their salaries
from *12 to *10 a week. The trouble was
apparently settled at tlie time, but since
then there has been growling among the
other employes'of Read, and they suc
ceeded In enlisting the sympathy of the
members of the'BIg Six and other labor
organizations represented In the building.

A WOMAN.
A woman lias many pleasures and
much to be thankful fdr; but, ala§, she
allio has many pains.
A woman may not be the slave of man,
but where her affections are concerned
[she is devoted to him and often over
|tax<8 he.self thereby.
A woman will often, without knowing
it. commit slow suicide tdf her children.
She will think, toil and shorten her life in
their behalf. Tco often they do not ap
preciate It.
A woman should not allow her'fcolor tM
fade, her cheeks to become sallow, her
strength to be lost. She is designed for
attractiveness and happiness.
A woman need not allow any of these
things to happen if she will only obey the
^ws of health and use the best means at
her command for preserving it.
A woman needs a friend upon whom
she can rely, atid there* is no friend which
eo surely aids her when $he is in need of
aid as that great remedy. Warner s Safe
Cure.
A woman who has never learned this
great truth, or who has failed to aA*ail
herself of it. has lost a fine opportunity
and is doubtless lees strong and attrac
tive today than she deserves to be and
might be.
A woman who follows the best hints
that ran be given her and who takes ad
vantage of the latest discoveries of
science for helping her is certain to live
longer, appear more attractive, suffer
less and enjoy more happiness than one
who neglects her opportunities.
CORBETT’S TRAINERS ARRESTED.
There Seems to be Trouble Ahead for the
Fighters, but they Don't Know What it is.
San Antonio, Tex., Oct. 8.—Sheriff John
P. Campbell today received from the
sheriff of Travis county attachments for
Jim Daly, Billy Delaney, Joe Corbett,
John Donaldson and John McVeay. all
members of Corbett's training party,
subpoenaing them to appear before the
district court grand Jury at Austin to
morrow as witnesses. The attachments
were served late this evening, and ail
the witnesses left for Austin tonight.
This new turn of affairs caused a sen
sation at the Corbett training quarter,
and much speculation was indulged in as
to the object of the Austin court. The
only members not subpoenaed are Jim
Corbett anil Steve O'Donnell, and this
fact makes it appear that the grand jury
is seeking to bring an Indictment against
the champion and O'Donnell. When
asked what he thought of the action of
the Austin court Corbett said: "I can
not imagine what they want with my
trainers as witnesses. We have certainly
not violated any law. I regret that they
must go to Austin, as It will set me back
in my training. The only possible charge
thai the grand jury can- bring against me
is that I am a party to a conspiracy to
bring off the fight with Fitzsimmons.”
Continuing. Corbett said: "I received
a telegram today from Brady stating
that the prospects were that the fight
would take place at Hot Springs. Ark.,
or New Mexico. 1 do not think that the
fight' can be pulled off In any part of
Arkansas, as Hot Springs is too near
Chicago, and the governor has stated
that there can be no fight in-that state.”
It was learned tonight that the grand
jury of the Travis county district court
will seek to secure Indictments against
Corbett. Fitzsimmons and Stuart on the
authority of article 960, title 18. chapter
1, of the Texas penal code, which pro
vides that a conspiracy entered^ito In
this state for the purpose of committing
any felony in any of the states or territo
ries of the United States shall be pun
ished in the same manner as if the con
spiracy entered Into was to commit the
felony in this state.
In this state the penalty for such con
spiracy by the Texas criminal code Is
confinement In the penitentiary not less
than two nor more than four years.

A HAPPY MARRIAGE.
Two young hearts were yesterday made
happy with nuptial ceremonies at St.
Paul’s. Mr. Andrew McKinney, an es
teemed and respected attache of Roberts
& Son's printing establishment, wedded
Miss Anna M. Wright of Virginia.
The ceremony was quietly performed
at 4 o’clock. Several Intimate friends of
the contracting pair were present and
showered them with congratulations and
fond wishes. Miss Wright was visiting
friends in the city, and, it is said, did
not expect to culminate the tender re-:
latlons existing between herself and her
suitor for some time in the future. How
ever, Mr. McKinney, like Birmingham
men always act in such matters, per
sistently insisted and was rewarded with
his fair bride.

To the State Herald:
Birmingham is a progressive, enterpris

more is expected of her than of ordinary
places. ViBiting here and searching for
the residence of a friend this afternoon I
was astonished to see that there were no
names of streets and avenues posted at
convenient places to guide the stranger

authorities to do this much for the ben
efit of the visitors to the city. It should

Fire Engineers’ Convention.
Augusta, Ga., Oct. 8.—The second day’s
■esslon of the twenty-third annual meet
ing of the Interstate Fire Engineers’ as
sociation was devoted strictly to bus
iness and the discussion ranged over a
large area of subjects. Nearly every
chief In the convention had something
to say and the Interchanging of opinions
will prove of great benefit to them. The
reports of the secretary and treasurer
showed the association to be on a solid
basis, with the membership on the in
crease and the importance of the organ
ization to be steadily growing.
The papers read were of a technical
character and showed considerable
thought and research on the subjects
treated. Tomorrow will wind up the
business portion of the meeting, when the
officers will be elected and the city chosen
for the next convention. It looks now as
if Salt Lake Is going to carry the con
vention by storm, but Portland, Me.;
Nashville. Tenn.; Reading, Pa., and In
dianapolis, Ind., are In the race, and "log
rolling” is going on to a great extent.
The exhibitors will be given a large
portion of tomorrow's tests of the differ
ent fire appliances.
The ladles In attendance have been
taken In charge by the local entertain
ment committee and are receiving every
attention. One of the features tomor
row will be aj genuine Georgia barbecue.

RELIEF
Invariably Found by the Use oi
the Eleotropoise.
Suffered Trom the Effects of La Grippe
for Twelve Months—Cases That
Cannot Be Doubled.
I have thought sometime of writing
you of my experience with the Electro
poise, and my opinion of It. When I re
ceived the Electropoise, more than two
years ago, I was suffering with the ef
fects of la grippe, and had been for about
twelve months. Some of the time I was
In bed and quite feeble, and gradually
losing ground. Soon after applying the
instrument 1 found relief, and I contin
ued to Improve until I was restored, and
now I am able to do as much work as I
could three years ago. It has given me
renewed energy and has built up my sys
tem generally. I have seen It tested in
cases of typhoid and malarial fevers, and
cases of pneumonia, colic, flux, croup,
colds, la grippe, Indigestion and rheuma
tism, where not a dose of medicine was
given, and have never failed in one sin
gle case, while some of them the doctors
had abandoned, saying they could do
them no more good. We applied the
Electropoise and from the beginning
they began to Improve.
These are cases that cannot be doubted
and speak well for the Electropoise, as
there are plenty of witnesses to testify.
I have all faith In the Electropoise, and
all my family use It on all occasions, and
Invariably find relief. I am yours, with
kind regards,
