GRANITE 'curiI-zas STRIKE.
One Hundred Members of the Union, Go
'Out at the Stony Creek Ouarries.
One hundred granite cutters, members
of the New England Granite Cutters
Union, and who were employed at John
Beatty’s' quarries at Leetes Island, went
on a strike yesterday afternoon.
The strike is the result of a demand
made Saturday by the granite cutters in
Beatty’s employ for an increase in
wages. The cutters have been receiv-
ing 25 cents a foot for what is known as
face rock." The cutters asked for an in-
crease in this rate and on Saturday
they made the demand. Mr. Beatty
refuses to grant the increase inasmuch
as it was not consistent with the terms
of the mutual agreement between the
manufacturers and the employees
that three months’ notice shall be
given. '
The strikers had not taken any oth-
er oteps at a meeting held to discuss the
strike. I

AMUSEMENTS.
Sowing the Wind.
The interest manifested'in the en'
gagemeut of ”Sowing the Wind,” at
Hoyt’s Theatre, next Saturday night,
isvery gratifying to the management,
which has been to a considerable ex-
pense of an extraordinary nature to get
an attraction of
celebrity, interpreted bvvwhat is recog-
nized as one of the‘ best companies
ever organized. It is an earnest that
the artistic and fashionable importance
of the occasion has been fully appre-
ciated, that the management fully
guarantees its sterling merits, and it is
safe in doing so_ for the leading critics
everywhere have been unsparing in
their praises: both play and company.

SHE USED KEROSENE.
Explosion Resulted, and Miss-Colton Was
Badly Burned.
Miss E. L. Colton, aged 75, living in
the eastern part of Portland, tried to
hurry along a coal fire Sunday morning
by-placing a bedquilt soaked with kero-
sene, in the stove. There was an exploi-
sion that sent the top of the stove
through the ceiling, smashing the rest
of the stove and most of the furniture
and set fire to the woman’s clothing.
Neighbors who were attracted by the
explosion found Miss Colton uncon—
scious on the floor in the center of a fire.
They reached her just in time, so that
while she Was badiy burned, her in-
juries are not necesSurily fatal, unless
her advanced age makes them so.

An (rid-Time Fop.
In the days of good Queen Bess fop<
pery semmed to reach its height—or
perhaps depth would be the better
word. The beau was always on ex-
hibition. He never went to the thea-
tre till the trumpets were blowing for
the prologue, for, when the house was
only half full, the richness of his dress
could not be sufficiently applauded;
then, as if he was one of the proprie-
tors, or had dropped from the hang-
ings, he crept from behind the arms, a
three—legged stool in one hand, and the
' tester to pay the boy in the other. The
real man of fashion never appeared to
be amused; the more miserable and
unmoved, the more fashionable. His
cue was, in the midst of the saddest
scenes of “Lear” or “Othello,” to turn
away, as if he hadseen the thing be-
fore at court. The aim of such foo-ls
was to talk and laugh so loud that the
eyes of the whole house should be
drawn upon them—that the poets
might be provoked into writing an epi<
gram that would make them talked of,
or that the players might recognize
and point them out in the streets.
Superior Intelligence.
A young lady living in Philadelphia
is the proud possessor of a handsome
red Irish setter, which she claims is as
intelligent as he is handsome. One of
tei'noon this young lady started out,
accompanied by a friend and, the dog,
for a walk, and found, when some lit-
tle distance from the house, that she
had forgotten her rubbers. Not wish-
ing to return for them she called the
dog, and, pointing to her friend’s rub:
beds, said: “Go home and get them.”
The dog looked at her intelligently a
moment, then ran down the street
and turned the corner. “Well,” said the
admiring friend, “if that dog isn’t just
the smartest I ever saw!” Presently
the setter return-ed, wagging his tail
and holding in his month, not his mis.
tress’ rubbers, but the foot-scraper,
which he had pulled from the corner
of 'thc steps.---Philadelphin Record.
Enforced Kindness.
An Afghan is bound by custom to

The Celebration of the One Hundredth
Anniversary of His Birth.
Berlin, March 23.-—The ceremonies" at-
tending the celebration of the centenary
of the birth of Emperor William I,
grandfather of the present emperor,
which began yesterday, were continued
today. Early this morning the em-
peror and empress made a visit to the
mausoleum of XVilliam I. Thousands
of people lined the Feststrasse, which
was brilliantly decorated from the cas-
tle to the Brandenburg gate. The em-
peror and empress, who received an
ovation all along the route, spent a.
quarter of an hour at the tomb and re-
turned to Berlin soon after 9 o’clock.
The weather was cloudy, but no rain
fell.
At 9 o’clock the troops, deCorated with
the new memorial medal, and detach-
ments of sailors took up the positions
assigned to them on Unte-r den Linden,
and at about 10:30 a. In. the emperor,
in the uniform of the Garde du Corps,
arrived and was welcomed with enthu-
siasm. The two eldest princes had pre-
viously joined the bodyguard company
of the First regiment of guards. After
riding in front of the troops the em—
peror halted before his late grandfa-
ther’s palace and ordered the flags and
standards, which had been decorated
with branches of laurel, to be brought
out. He then rode at the head of the
colors and led the troops to Festival
square.
The monument-was unveiled at 11:30
a. m., according to the programme
drawn up under the personal super-
vision of the emperor. The royal per-
sonages were beneath a. magnificent
tent, with embroidered hangings, erect-
ed in front of the main portal of the
Schloss, facing the monument. They
Included the empress and Empress
Dowager Frederick, the kings of Sax-
ony and Wurttemburg, the prince re-
gent of Bavaria, the grand duke of
Baden, the grand duke of Hesse and
others.
Adjoining this tent on both sides were
grand stands for the privileged specta-
tors, about 3,000 persons, comprising the
suits of the princes, the chancellor and
all the dignitaries of the empire, includ-
ing the bundesrath, the presiding ofi‘i-
cers of the reichstag and diet, the gen-
erals and admirals, the rectors of the
universities, the mayors of Berlin, Pots-
dam, Spandau and Charlottesburg and
the honorary guests.
GHASTLY FLOTSAM.
Another of the St. Nazairc’s Boats Con-
taining Six Corpses Picked Up.
New York, March 23.—A boat of the
Ville de St. Nazaire was picked up by
the steamer Creole, which arrived to—
day from New Orleans. The .Joat con—
tained six dead bodies.
No one of the rescued men who ar-
rived here on Wednesday last has been
able to say how many persons were in
each of the small boats from the St.
Naznire, but as the other boats were
much smaller than the long boat taken
up by the schooner Hilda, which con-
tained 37 persons, the remaining 45 on
the St. Nazaire were, it is assumed,
equally divided among the three boats.
This seems more than likely as the
Yanariva signaled to the Kaiser Wil-
helm that she had 16 of the survivors
the day the four survivors Were land-
ed from the schooner Hilda. As the
long boat had four bodies on it when
picked tip, the ' survivors 'la’bking
strength to put them overboard, it seems
likely that the boat picked up by the”
Creole contained originally more thanf
I
the six.
This leaves one more boat to be ae--‘
counted for. The relatives of the peo.:
ple on board of the St. Namire will
have to wait at least a week for the
arrival of the Yanariva. at Glasgow to
find out the names of the 16 who have
been saved.
The survivors of the wrecked steamer
St. Nazaire who were brought to this
port are having a. hard struggle to re-
gain their health. Captain Berri, Sur—
geon Maire and Engineer Sauts are still
confined to their rooms in the Hotel
Martin. Their condition this morning
was somewhat improved. They cannot
be 'seen or spoken to yet, but the clerk
of the hotel said today that the three
men now partake of food with evident
relish. Their arms and legs are not so
much swollen as they were, and they
are able to move about their rooms, be-
ing no longer kept to their beds.
Progress is also reported in the condi-
tion of the surviving passenger, Juan
Tejada. He is still at the home of a.
friend, Pedro Orti, at 260 West Twenty-
fourth street. He was markedly better
this forenoon.
Senator Quay and a, Panther.
St. Lucie, F1a., March 23.—~Senator
Quay had an exciting adventure with
a. panther here. Accompanied by his
guide, he was returning home with a.
fine tarpon, when, with an unearthly
scream, a. big panther dropped from an
overhanging oak on the bearers of the
fish. The senator used his revolver, and
the guide a heavy club and knife. Aft-
er a short, sharp struggle the animal
was dispatched.
A Michigan Town Submerged.
Midland, Mich., March 23.—The Titta-
bawassie and Chippewa rivers have
overflowed, and the water is higher
than it has been for 15 years. Consid-
erable damage is being done and much
lumber and other property is being lost.
The whole eastern portion of the town
is submerged. About 20 families .have
been removed.
A Roadhouse Burned.
Cranford, N. J., March 23.—Micha.el
Heuber’s roadhouse, on the county road
at Garwood, Was destroyed by fire to-
day. The inmates escaped in their
night clothes. The origin of the fire is
supposed to have been a defective flue.
Chicago Beer Boycottcd.
Chicago, 1113., March 23.——The Chicago
Federation of Labor has at last de-
cided to boycott Chicago beer. The
coopers have vainly tried for a year to
induce the brewers to use barrels and
kegs made by union workmen.
Disasti-ous Fire In Ottumwa, Ia.
Ottumwa, 121., March 23.—:A disas-

here in a brick business block on Main
street, owned by the Seth Richards es-
tate. and destroyed property valued at
$180,390.
D3'. Si‘ciiiiiz at Vienna. ,
Vienna, March 23.—Dr. Steinitz, the
chess player, has arrived here. ‘
He Took Advice.
5 M. du Maurier, his son tells us, had
no idea of appropriateness in dress,
and did not know one fashion from'
another. “My sisters,” said Mr. (111
Mau1ie1', “looked to it that he got the
right things in his pictu1es.He would
come home sometimes and sketch
something which had attracted him in
a passer-by on the street. Often it
would be some impossibly queer ar-
rangement, and my sisteis would pio-
test: ‘Why, father, you mustn’t use
that in Punch. Nobody weais those
things now; they are dieadfully old-
fashioned,‘ and he would give in imme-
diately to what he recognized as their
superior judgment.” This will be :1
blou to the hUndIeds of people who
modeled theii chess upon that Du
Mai: iici '5 men and women. His fash-
ions. hovcver, were correct, for his-
family saw to it that they should be.

WHOSE FAULT IS IT.
A Local Occurrence that
will Interest Many
Readers.
If when a foghorn warns the mariner
to shear off the coast, he still hugs the
shore and wrecks upon it, whose fault is
it? If the 1ed switch light is up and the
engine driver deliberately pulls ahead
and pitches into another train, blame
the driver. If a careless workman will,
in spite of warnings, try to find out how
many teeth a buzz saw has, and the saw
tries to find out how many fingers the
workman has, blame the workman—not
the saw. If a sick man knows that a
certain medicine is doing him good, and
he carelessly neglects to use it, blame
the man not the medicine. If Norwalk
people who nave kidney complaint and
backache will not take Doaue’ s Kidney
Pills, when they are endorsed by scores
of citizens, blame the people, not the
endorsers.
Mrs. Joseph Whitley of 61 Belden
avenue, says “I was reading the papers
one evening, and came across an adver-
tisement oi Doane s Kidney Pills, at the
time I was annoyed with a pain in the
small of my back and was thinking of
trying some preparation to see if I could
get relief. Doane’ s Kidney Pills seemed
to me to be above the average judging
from the cures they had made and I got
a box at Hale’s drugstore and took them.
They produced decided and satisfactory
results. I recommend them to my
friends.”
Doane s Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers. Price 50 cents. Mailed by
