SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1897.

 

A False Charge.

:1 charge often made by the profes-
s Lonal labor agitators that upon issues
between the workingmen and employ-
ing corporations the0 courts always side
with the corporations, has been dis-
proved many. times, and a new illlus-
tration to the contrary has been fur-
nished by a Chicago Court in which
a. runaway conductor, blacklisted by
the Northwestern Railway cOmpany
for participation in the Putnam strike,
has been awarded damages to the
amount Of $21,166.33.

The facts brought out in the course
of the trial, which were to the ef-
fect that the plaintiff was always dis-
charged without cause or explanation.
shortly after Obtaining a new job, con-
vinced the jury that he had been black-

 

listed by the Northwestern Company,
and that he was being persistently
hounded out Of any means of earning a
Living for himself and his family.

If this verdict is sustained by the
court Of last resort, to which it is cer-
tain to be appealed, the blacklisting of
men who engage in strikes will go the
way of the boycott, which has been de-
cided by the courts to be unlawful.

New Dangers From Electricity.

_> ‘In the Old days the only way a man
could be killed by at electric shock was
0 get in the way of a bolt of lightning
from a thunder cloud, and the deaths
from this cause were few and far be-
tween. ' With the general applicatlon
of artificial electricity as an agent of,
light, heat and motive power the fatali?
ties have been many times multiplied,
and many persons are getting very
nervous over the new and unexpected
illustrations of the deadly nature of the
ele‘ric current. People are in danger
of being’suddenly killed by unlocked
for contact with broken wires, and the
latestfatalit‘y has demonstrated that it
is not safe any more to carry 1111 um-

. b1 elld. in a rain-storm if the staff hap-
pens to be a steel one. - I ,

The 1e1.ent fatality on a. principal
Street, in one of our larger cities due to

:A:

~...

the contact of a steel umbrella staff
with an are light suspended above
the sidewalk, not only revealed a new
danger from electricity-but one over
which the authorities have no proper
control. ’ Arc lights are suspended at
so y place agreed upon between a prop-
erty-owner'or lessee and the electric
light company with'overhead wires or
underground conduits in the district.
Permits are not asked. no rules as to
the height of the lights above the road
01- footway are observed or enforced,
and so far as the public is aware, no ef-
fective precautions are used to prevent

 

the diversion of thedeadly current to
the nearest open conductor, which may
be a metal awning post with which any
chance passerby is liable to come in
contact. _

No one would advotate a return to
tallow clips for light or to the horse
ears for transit, but humanity is enti-
tled to some protection from the (lan-

gers of contact‘ with a deadly electric .
' 1

current, and it is the duty of the au-
thorities to furnish this protection.
Dangerous arc lights should be out of
the reach of the ferules of the umbrel-
las carried on a rainy day 01' night,
and it is the business of the city au-
thorities to see that they are suspended
at a safe height.
are defective on this point new ordin—
ances should be passed giving the au-
thorities full power to regulate this
matter in the interest of the public
safetyfand requiring them under 11

Electricity is a very useful force, but

it is a very dangerous one as well, and
its use should only be permitted under
such conditions as will reduce this

danger to the minimum. There should

' ,be no more unexpected electrocutions
as a penalty for carrying an umbrella

on a rainy day.

AA;

FEMININE CHAT.

The weather is getting in fine foot-
ball condition.

To lose a man’s faith, is infinitely
worse than losing his love.

Long, accordion-plaited silk wraps
are worn at evening functions.

The bigger hands a man has the
more he runs to light-colored gloves.

With Thanksgiving less than a week
oli’, we must feel that winter is really
with us, and a little snow squall inten-
sifies the felling.

Yale and Princeton colors abound in
New York and Harvard and University
of Pennsylvania ones in Philadelphia.

Some of the new neckwear for wom-
en shows broad stripes in every possi-
ble color contrast.

The scarcity of flowers and floral deco-
rations (other than hot house products)
makes the possession of a few of these
bright but transient- gems all the more
precious in this dismal, bleak and sun-
less month.

Directly a woman falls in love she
sees how silly it has been heretofore to
try and argue others out of it.

If a woman rouges iuartistically and
conspicuously she mustn’t feel hurt if
another one stares hard at her.

. It is the easiest thing in the world to
criticise the faults Of others, but the
most difficult} to discover our own.

A Chrysanthemum wedding is un-
doubtedly one of the most artistic func-
tions of the season.

To realize howl. genuinely weak we
are, observe the tyranny that a 10-
months-Old baby can exercise over a
w hOle roomful of adults ‘ ' '

fthere is any thing that makes a we:
man Igenuinely.angry it is torhave any
one doubt her ability to cook; that is,
if she is a real woman.

To lie awake and cough all night is
hardly conducive to a joyous feeling of
rest in the morning, but it gives one
lots of opportunity to think.

The array of white plumes seen on

the bats of New York women leads one
to suppose that they have no scruples
about showing the white feather. »
l The fatigue that comes from honest
labor has something satisfying in it,
but that which accrues from a. foolish
f. itte1ing of time is almost equal to a.
severe illness. _

" 'Ring once 101 a page” is the an-
nouncement in certain swell hotels, but
by the number and variety that appear
in response to the call it would seem
that a whole book were on tap.

One single brilliant petticoat is not
dubbed enough by the fashionable wo-
men of to-day. She must wear at least
two, which. with the gay silken lining
of hc1. gown, makes a very fetching
kaleidoscope of color on a. rainy day.
