CHICAGO, Aug. 31.—There is trouble at Pullman among those who have been as- sociated in the work of distributing sup~ plies to the needy. It is really a strife be- tween the American ltailway union and the workmen who did not join that or- ganization. The trouble arose over the appointment of Theodore Ropde as chair- man of the relief committee. McGuire, secretary of the committee, claims that Ropde was not regularly appointed; that his authority to serve came from J. W. Heathcote and R. W. Brown. the leaders of the strike, when it should have come from the central committee, who had charge of relief matters. It is further said that the members of the American Rail- way union seek togain control of the dis- tribution of relief in order that none but union men may receive the benefits of it. “but a. French Flag. :9 MONTREAL, Aug. 31.—A section of the French Canadian press is indignant at what it calls an outrage on the part of the authorities who have charge of the provincial exhibition at Quebec.

The Pa- trle says, “We ask all the exhibitors to exact that the tricolor flag be made to float over the exhibition buildings, and to withdraw rather than to abide by the die- tates of a pedantic Castor, who is ashamed of being French.” A Genuine Race For Life.

ONE ON THE PRESIDENT. - .__—.__—— Ill Cook Csed Valuable Carrier Pigeon for n Potpie. Murat Halstead, in a letter published in the Commercial Advertiser, tells an interesting story of a. remarkable and ex- pensive pigeon potpie which was eaten by President Cleveland and Secretaries Gresham and Carlisle during their trip to Dismal Swamp a few weeks ago. Mr. Halstead says: 1 It will be remembered that their rout» took them far from the wires that trans- mit telegraphic and telephone messages from absent ones. The officers of the Annapolis Academy had been experi- menting jealously with carrier pigeons, training them for the exigencies of naval warfare, and several fine birds had made good records in winging their way from vessels at sea and others along the coast to the academy. The choicest of the vet»- erans were put in a coop and placed aboard the tug and tendered to the Presi- dent, with instructions as to the weight of messages carried and the way to wire them on the birds. - It was expected that the President and the Secretaries would cc...i:~.:unicate daily while out of range of telegraph stations with their families. One bird, it was an- ticipated, would be loaded with messages and letters each day, and fly straight to Annapolis, where the messages were to be mailed or telegraphed. After the boat. sailed away with its pigeon coop no bird reappeared. The offi- cers of the academy grieved and won- dered that all of their splendid old birds Were gone at one fell swoop, as it were, to that “undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns.” The thing was too perplexing to inquire about for a while, but at last a most conclusive so- lution of the problem was furnished. The cook had mistaken the character of the birds, and they had been consumed by the three men in a highly appreciated pigeon potpie. It is too early to comment calmly upon the contents and the conse- quences of this extraordinary, memorable and more than Roman dish. HOW METALS GET TIRED. The, Need a Vacation Just the Same as Men and Women Do. The term “fatigue,” applied to metals. has a technical significance. It is the condition which results in the breaking down of parts of machinery after they have worked satisfactorily for months or years. The causes which give rise to this condition are explained by D. S.I Smart in Knowledge, London, in an article ‘. in which he argues that the term, “fatigue,” inthe technical sense in which it is ap- plied to - muscles, may with equal pro- priety be applied to metals. He says: “Fatigue of metals is an expression which has come into use only in recent years, and it describes a. condition of the material not previously understood. The expression stands for a straining of the relationship to each other of the mole- cules of which the metal is constituted. “In the metals there is a point in their resistance to pulling, bending, crushing, known as the elastic limit, the point at which permanent strain commences. The elastic limit of iron or mild steel, for ex- ample, in its nominal condition, is reach- ed, roughly speaking, when about half the breaking load is applied. If the stresses brought to bear upon a. piece of metal are within its limit, it will sustain these stresses without injury, however long they may be applied. If the stresses exceed the elastic limit, in however small a. degree, fatigue of the metal will result, and, if they are continued, breakage soon- er or later will inevitably take place. To guard against accident from such insidi- ous fatigue, it has now become usual, in the best practice, to withdraw permanent. ly from use parts of. machinery, such, as railway cranks and carriage axles, upon the soundness of which the safety of many lives may depend, after they have per— formed acertain number of revolutions, even although no flaw or sign of injury can be detected. “If, however, metals are strained be- yond the elastic limit, but not broken, and if the straining is not continued, the material will recover its elasticity by rest .alone. Some years ago, Prof. B. W. Ken- nedy demonstrated by many experiments the recuperative property of metals after fatigue. The Rescue of a Sand Hill Crane. - “The devotions of bir s to their young is one of the most beautiful sights of not ure, ” relates William P. Buxton, of Du- buque. “I sawa striking illustration of this characteristic while on a hunting ex- pedition up in Minnesota last fall. One day I shot and wounded a young sand hill crane, which, with several others, was resting on the prairie. At the report of my gun all the birds tdok flight with the exception of the wounded one and one other, which was almost certainly its parent. The injured bird made several attempts to fly, and‘ finally succeeded in rising some ten or fifteen feet in the air, - but as it could not sustain itself it fell again to the ground. It tried again, how- ever, and the parent bird, seeing the trouble the young one was in, placed her- self underneath it, allowing it to rest its feet on her back, both birds continuing all the while to flap their wings. In this way, much to- my amazement, she suc- ceeded in hearing it OS to a place of safe- ty.” ' Banker, Broker, Poet and LL. D. Poets as a rule do net care much for de- grees, except the degree of popularity they enjoy .with the public. However, Edmund Clarence Stedman, of New York, the poet of the Yale class of 1853, has been made an LL.D. by that university. He is. a stock broker and banker and gained fame by writing a poem entitled “The Diamond \Vedding.” His beard is gray and always neatly trimmed. Rather slight in build, he is well known by all the literary people and by Wall street bankers and brokers. As an LL.D. he will be able to tell whether it is legal for great corporations to water stock and will' be able to quote law, should he forget to quote poetry. Mystery and \Vater- in Kentucky. Col.
