WHITEWASH A BOSS.
SENSATIONAL ACTION OF THE
ANGRY WIVES.
ttefused to Quit Work—Would Not Join
the Strikers, but Gave Aid to Im
ported Negro Workmen—Ilia Clothes
Almost Torn Off.
Boston (Pa.) women bid fair to be
come as famous as the women of Mar
blehead, whose act of tarring and
feathering and riding in a cart an ob
jectionable character of that village
has been celebrated in song and story.
The women of Boston laid violent
hands ou an objectionable mine boss,
and after beating him and almost tear
ing his clothes off they whitewashed
him from head to foot, and, as one ot
them remarked, "made a white sheep
of the black sheep." The Boston in
this case is not the classic town ot
Massachusetts. It is a little coal town
on the banks of the Youghiogheny riv
er, about four miles above McKees
port. The men in the mines of W. H.
Brown's Sons have been on a strike
for four weeks. They claim the firm
has been violating a number of sec
tions of the Chicago agreement. The
principal difference is that the firm
will not pay the price agreed upon in
that convention and refuses to put the
coal dug by the men over a 1%-inch
screen. All along the strike has been
a most orderly and quiet affair. For
the last four days the strikers have
been parading about the openings of
the mines in an effort to induce the
few men still at work to come out and
join them. Until yesterday the effort
was unsuccessful. A number of ne
groes from Lovedale Hollow were
working regularly and refused to quit.
The strikers marched up to the mines
each morning and stood on the town
ship road, watching the workers take
their jobs. They were careful at all
times not to set foot on the coal com
pany's property. Each evening when
the men came out of the mine they
were met by the strikers and escorted
to their homes with all the tin horns,
tin cans and other noise-producing in
struments Boston could produce. The
mine boss, Andrew Borland, was on
his way to the mine when he was met
by a party of eight women, wives ot
some of the striking miners. He was
asked by the women why he would not
quit and help the strikers. He gave
an abusive answer and was at once as
saulted by the women. He was knocked
down, and, after they had all taken a
turn pummeling him, one of them
shouted: "Let's make a white sheep
of the black sheep!" The proposition
was at once agreed to. While seven of
the women held him the eighth hur
ried home and got a bucket of wuite
wash and a brush. Running back, she
applied the whitewash in a vigorous
manner and soon had Borland dressed
«4n a suit of dazzling whiteness from
top to bottom. This done, they al
lowed him to. depart. Borland threat
ens prosecution for assault and- bat
tery, riot and several other charges.

Getting Rid of His Knowledge.
One of those good natured persons
who are always bent on imparting in
formation was humiliated not long
since. A man, apparently a yokel, was
seated on a fence, intently looking at
the telegraph wires. A kindly gentle
man passing said:
"Watching the wires, eh?"
"Yes, sir."
"Waiting to see
a
message go by,
eh?"
The man smiled, and said: "Yes,
sir."
The gentleman kindly told him that
messages were invisible, and explained
the work of the electric current to him
at length. Concluding, he said: "Now
you know something about it?"
"Yes, sir."
"What do you work at?"
"Me and my mate over yonder are
old telegraph workers we're just now
putting up some new wires i*» these
parts."
He Knew.
"Willie Jones," said Mr. Grimface,
the schoolmaster sternly, "I am very
much afraid from your behavior you
wish me to chastise you. Do you re
member the old precept beginning
'Spare the rod?'" "Yes, sir," said
Willie. "Spare the rod and lose the
fish."—Harper's Bazar.

Wlhont Anything: Feminine.
There is only one territory of any.
6ize—and never has been but one—oc
cupied by any considerable population
from which woman is entirely exclud
ed. Yet such a place exists to-day, and
has existed for centuries. A9 far back
as history reaches, to all females it has
been forbidden ground. This country
without women is situated on a bold
plateau between the old peninsula of
Acte, in the Grecian archipelago, and
the mainland. Here, in the midst of
cultivated fields and extensive wood
lands, dwells a monastic federation of
Greek Christians, with twenty-three
convents and numbering more than
7,000 souls. Not one of the monasteries
dates from a later time than the
twelfth century. A few soldiers guard
the borders of the land, and no woman
is allowed tp cross the frontier. Nor is
this all the rule is extended to every
female creature, and from time imme
morial no cow, mare, hen, duck or
goose has been permitted to enter this
territory.—Exchange.

It is asserted that a certain Col. Car

or of inventing the cocktail, and this is
hov.T it all happened: Near Culpepper
Court House there used to stand ai?
old inn, built to imitate the famous
roadhouses of England, and bearing
the storied sign of "Cock and Bottle."
The former word in the old vernacular,
stood for the tap. The point is thai
the man who got the last drink and the
muddy portion of the tap, was said to
have received the "cocktail." Col.
Carter was once subjected to this In
dignity, and threw the stuff upon the
floor. "Heahaftah," he said, "I'll drink
cocktails of ma own concoction, sail."
And, starting to "clean out the shop,"
he dashed together bitters, sugar, bits
of lemon peel and Holland gin. Great
oaks from little acorns grow, and this
was the genesis of the cocktail.

Inconvenience of Child Marriage,

the parties being a Biiattia widower of
about forty and a Bhattia girl of about
nine. The disparity in age is rather
startling, and it was aggravated by
other circumstances for instance, the
widower has a daughter of about eight
een, as a teacher at a school, of which
her father is honorary manager, and
his girl wife of nine is a pupil at the
school under his daughter of eighteen.
The first thing the girl wife of nine did
on marrying was to remonstrate with
her daughter of eighteen as to how
she, her mother, could possibly sit at
school on the bench while the daughter
taught her from a chair. What is the
poor daughter to do? She must give'
up her appointment as a school mis
tress, or her dear mother of nine must
give up attending school. It is for the
father and husband to decide.—Indian

comfort him some little under heavy

orders for Dr. Williams' Fink Pills for Tale People, but never knew their
worth until I used them for the cure of chronic dyspepsia. For two yean

Those distressed pains would force me to quit work. I have tried many
treatments and remedies but they would help only for a time. A friend
induced me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and after tak
