The outburst of enrnsed public sentiment which haa m.mlfetted itself In Tampa, the center of the cliar Havana elRnr tndimtry. finding vent In the expulsion of forelp,n born lahor lenders and anltatorn from that city, furnishes a peculiar contribution to labor history In thin country. Tired of repeated attempts to dlnrupt tho manufacturing enterprises whleb have tnadi their city, relates the New Vork Herald, the peoplo of Tampn adopted the "vox popull, vox Del" platform, and. lack ing what they regarded as adequate redress In law or courts, proceeded to dispose of proline sources of trouble In their own way. Tampa owes Its present prosperity nnd Importance to Its Havana ulgar Industry. Ten years ago Tampa was an obscure fish ing vIIIbkc with and streets, thaekly frarnn building, and no business worth mentioning. V. Marline Ybor came as the pioneer of thr elements that weru to mako Tampa fjre.it. He built a cigar factory for himself nnd then built factories for other people, donating sites and tmlldlDgs to reputable Arms which would transfer their operations from Havana and Key West to the strug gling town which Yhor proposed to make the great center of the Industry. Ybor lived to seo the realization of his droam. One hundred and forty-six clear Havana cigar factories now operate In tho Vlorltin city, which has grown In population meantime from 3.00Q to Ifi.POO, nnd In business In fig ures so phenomenal nn to Room Inrrcdlhle Tampa made 186,000.000 clear Havnnn cigars last year, worth over $12,000,000. The rlgar Industry alone employes be tween 6,000 nnd 7,000 people. When the cigar Industry stops tho pulse of trade nil hut suspends, Its circulating medium, sup plied by factory payrolls, Is cut off. and stagnation results. Occasional experiences of this sort might i bo tolernted, but tho "strike," tho favorlto pastime of the foreign elgnrmaklng clasa, has In Tampa become painfully regular. Two Union Clnxh. One year ago the International Union of Clgarmakers, nfTlllatod with tho American Federation of Labor, dominated the Inbnr situation In Tampa. Thoro ensued a clash "within Its ranks which resulted In a with drawn! of practically all tho foreign bom clgarmakers. Spanish, Cuban nnd Italian, from the Internntlnnnl organization, leaving it n small body of Amcrlcnn workmen. Un der tho generalship of Manuel Hlvcra, sent from New York for tho purpose, tho seced ing army of 5,000 men .and women was re organized Into n now union sworn In Its hostility to Amerlenn competition In Its trade, and from this sprang tho giant "La Iteslstcncla." This organization of foreigners at once di rected Its efforts to tho extermination of the organization from which Its members had seceded. In October, 1000, It demanded the expulsion of Internationals from tho factories. Some manufacturers yielded, be cause they could not do business without tho assistance of La Itcslstencln; others de clared they would retain their American employes. Tho fight caused n suspension of many fac tories for nearly a month. Tho climax enmo when n mob, headed by tho International men, attacked tho fnetory of Gonzalez. Mora & Co., which was operating with n few Uo elstencla workmen, and fired Into It, This fcvert act gavn Ucslstcncla snmo public sym pathy and support; nnd Kcntstcncla won Its battle. Three factories were, however, al lowed to run with other than Hcslstencla men. But It wns not to bo for long. Knrly In July Ln Hcslstencla girded Its loins nnd declnred wnr onco more. It wns largo enough nnd strong enough, It Is said, .to control all tho factories of tho city. It de manded that tho threo rnciorics wnicn naa been excepted In the former terms of peace ho plnccd under Its Jurisdiction. It struck n blow for the final extermination of the In ternational union, and of all other unions except Itself. All llmiiU Out. This began tho present fig''t and precipi tated Its sensational denouement. Because the manufacturers, us o body, would not ubo their Intlucnco to compel Cucntn, Rey & Co., Arguollcs, ilonrz A. Brother nnd Vldal Cruz, tho threo xceptcd firms, to bo to Us demands, Hcslstencla called a general strike. Six thousand peoplo quit work In nu hour. Already arrogant from demonstrated power, Reslstcucla wanted more. It had a triko fund of $18,000 In bank; It had loaders who had mndo u Ilfo business of effecting nnd conducting strikes; tho native fever for agltntlon In Its Latin blood boiled for- trouble, and It thought It had tho sup port of tho business community, because its labor wa3 tho Ufa blood of business in Tampa. Of this latter Hcslstencla Judged un wisely. Its demands wcro regarded by tho peoplo of Tampa as arbitrary and unJUBt it had mistakenly pleaded tho argumont of force. The Btrlko ran nlong smoothly for ten days, Heslstulicla opened nine soup shops, spent a largo portion of Its money for pro visions and proceeded to feed Its Idle army. Its headquarters, tho Llceo Cubano, Ybor City, was thronged at every hour of tho day and night by gesticulating, excited clgarmakers, pickers, packers, selectee, trippers all without work. Manufacturers began to manifest a spirit of unrest. Sanchez & Haya had orders for 2,000,000 rlgars, for prompt delivery, but tho tables In their big factory wero vacant. nnd tho doors closed. Other firms wcro sim ilarly situated. Thero was talk of removing to other cities. This strike custom was be coming too regular for tho good of tho iudustry, l)rlliiK Hi" Lenders. It was there considerations that led to the forclblo deportation of the strike load ers. From the Llceo Cubano tho contrnl committee of Hcslstencla was Issuing man ifestos which kept aflamo tho discontent of tho strikers and encouraged thorn to pro long their courBO. Tho fountain head of the troublo was located there twenty-ono men, who were not workors, who thrived on tho labors nnd also on the Idleness of Ihs r(il wot Uric who continually agitated and moused Ilia t'nUn ntvl UnnnbH -opl to unreasonable doraamU iu'Mpu. lltert men wero about to cause tho loss of Tnmpa' rustalnlng industry; the business meu de cided that thotr romouil was demanded by public policy and sclf-prescrvatlon. Hans were carefully considered by tho organization of business mon. There must ha no mlistop. Everything was arranged with the minuteness of a miliary campaign. But there was a misunderstanding at tha start. . Monday night the central committee of the strikers was to meet at tho usual hour at headquarters, but failed to do so. Oettlng them "In a bunch" was thus made impossible. The men who were appointed to make tho The King's English A Protest by Harriet Prescott Spotford. If there were any truth In the rumor that certain ncadcml" bodies abroad are about to form an association for the pur poso of protecting tho English language from the encroachments of the Amerlenn there would bo some reason for a counter stroke on this slilo of the water to pre serve the purity of the old mother-tongue from tho slipshod treatment It receives at tho Hps of modern society In England. It Is qulto apparent to any observer that a great deal of the dignity of the language Is at present being sacrificed to tho haste nnd waste nnd whim of tho world of May fair fashion. According to this whim ono Is no longer correct If taking the time to say "necessary," for Instance; ono must eny "ncsary," or nn approximate sound to that. Nothing Is "ordinary" now, but all things arc "ordlnry." which to unaccus tomed cars qulto equals tho "ornery" of dialect. No more may we say ''literary," but "lltry" Is the rule. There nro no "secretaries" now; all are "secrctrys." Thsrc nro no more "cemeteries." either; they are "comctrys," and so on through a long list of hostilities to the letter "a," In which the outrage against elegance Is ns bad at. tho clipping of final "g'," or the use of tho strong preterlto that clipping of the final "g" being customary only with the unlettered American, but the constant practice of the aristocratic English. As for what are called Americanisms, Richard (Irani White showed long ago, and very convincingly, that most of them nro Anglicisms and as old as Shakespeare. And as for what Is named American slang, a large part of tho slang prevalent comes from England and only that Is American which Is witty and full of point nnd usually have as much right as the English people to rorrupt It If we choose, yet wo do not choose. The English have never conquered the an affair neither of bad grammar nor bad pronunciation. Generations ago this English habit cor rupted the pronunciation of the proper names of the families of Great Britain. But with that we have no quarrel, since if they wish to make Boever of Bclvolr, Beechcra of Beauchamp or Luson-gore of Levlson Gower, they have the right to do so, nnd wo will not make It any concern of ours. But In the main body of tho language wo have a proprietary Interest rivaling theirs, as the heritage of tho whole race, and, whllu their fountains of learning may have full right to Improvo and to protect It, lu gen eral practice they have no right to Injure and degrade It and then ndd Insult to the Injury by accusing us of having done It. That Americans know how to use the language with propriety, nnd do so, might bo surmised from the fact that one Ameri can writer has his plncj In Westminster nbbcy, tho British Valhalla; that others have been Invited to write English epitaphs, that our best writers of the day rank with the best of England's day. No English writer has ever excelled tho cxqulslto deli cacy of Hawthorne's choice of English, tho perfection of Emerson's, the crystnl purity of Prescott's style, the charm of Irvlng's, tho majesty of Bryant's, to name no others of those whoso works are ns widely read In England as In tho United States. It has remained for American publishers to discover and collect the work of English writers neglected at home, such ns De Qulncey's, for Instance. Shakespeare has had no better commentators nnd editors than America has given. And, although the language being ours by common descent, wo habit of looking at us as colonial; nr have they tried to conquer It. We hate refused to remain colonists; but In some respects they have never recognized our refusal. Except among the choicer critics, tho greater part of our best work Is re garded as provincial, nnd treated wi h a sort of nrrogant surprise. They have something tho same disdain for our en deavor that tho boy lu his first knicker bockers has for his 6lstcr. They have de sired political assimilation with us ever since nnd beforo the time of King George tho Third, wishing us to use their stamp on our paper; and now they wish us to let them put their modern and slovenly stamp on our language. The language, we repeat, Is ours ae mu"U as the Englishman's, and Is kept more care fully by our tongues than by his; ns our Jealously regarding his corruptions shows; as tho fact that tho best and greatest of Its dictionaries Is ours shows also, ns well as tho circumstance that thero Is no single area of the British kingdom In which It Is spoken with such purity ns that In whl:h It Is used In various areas of equal idzs within our own borders. Instead of any London uoclctlcs Irso lontly ruling us out of court. It may come to tho pass that we shall be obliged our selves to pass sentence on the real offend ers, We have excellent authority for suih proceeding. "Wo nro worth nothing." nald Jnmes Russell Lowell, "till wo have disin fected ourselves of Anglicism," and Lowell was n man the Queen delighted to honor. If the words were true In other relations, they are so In respect to the use of Eng lish by modern Mnyfalr. And, although we rnll it the King's English, wo do so re membering that every American Is a sovereign. Insanity Among Women Alarmist Views Shown to Be Unfounded. Prof. Zlmmcr claims that competition be tween men nnd women In male occupations must result In an enormous Incrcnae of In sanity nmong women, Ho c'nlms, n'to g other things, that the rate of Insanity of German-npenklng women teachers Is double that of men. His statistics are clearly those of the misleading, unanalyzed type so frequently employed by special ploidfrJ, writes Dr. James C Klernan In the Chlrng3 Tribune Statistics of female Insanity al wnys mislead the nmntetlr soclcligis . Women have, ns Brnndrcth Symqnds h.n shown (American Journal of Medical Sci ence June, ISDI) greater vitality than men, ran Rtand continuous strain better and thrl" mnrtnllty Is less. Tho fatal types of ,n sanity are at least five times as frequent among men as among women. The femls Insnno consequently accumulate, which ac cumulation has produced the view disproved dccifdcs ago, that Insanity was m at fre quent among womon. This constitutes ono grcnt element of error In statistics. An other Is duo to tho fact thnt chronic In sanity nmong rural populations Is only de tected when Insane hospitals arc erected. These nro rapidly filled with chronic lun ntlcs, the product of generntlons. Tho mlddlo clnsB female occupations having mcst lunatics are notoriously those of farmers' wives, daughters, and s'ster.'. Thcso fall victims to tho four "C" moln-.-h cooking, clothing, church nnd children. Tho Insnno In a rural communl'y pass mus ter to n surprising degree. Thry flock to the city to fill various occupations; In pro portion to tho Intellectuality of tho occu pation, tho mental defect becomes evident. The occupation tests but does not produce Insanity. In Germany the woman of the middle nnd aristocratic class have as duties the four Cs. 'Iho working woman must In addition toll aa railroad navvies and ln other ex hausting work because of male military service. The amount of Insanity nnd nervous tondltlons thus produced nre dlsrognrdod by German sociologists, who, like tho kaiser, are mnklng an ncttvo propaganda against higher female education. The working class seems to bo chlolly of value to enablo Its males to bo food for powder. Until tho ncrvnin dlsrnso rate among women of this class Is settled, the alleged Influence of hlghT education 'n Germany must bo largely discounted. That competition produces stress, and that stress produces nervous breakdown Is un deniable. Tho forms of Insanity found by Zlmmcr. however, require more than one generation to produce, and hence cannot be duo to the higher education of womon at tho close of tho nineteenth century. At the be ginning of tho last century 111 health was far more frequent among women than It Is today. As Catherine Beechor has shown, this Is particularly true of Now Englnnd. This 111 health was due not to stress in male occupations but to tho nbcencu of intel lectual stimulus. In Intruding on so-cnlled "male" occupations, woman, however. Is but taking her own, since, ns Otis T. Mason of the Smithsonian Institute has shown ("Woman's Sharo In Primitive Culturo"). "AH tho peaceful arts of today were once woman's peculiar province. Along tho Hno3 of Industrialism sho was pioneer, Inveutir, nuthor, originator. Tho ar's dov.s1d ty woman are In the nscendancy, and man, militant, has glorified them by his cu-cp r atlon." As competition ln arts outside of war Is cf a continuous type, woman Is bet ter fitted thereto than man, who Is const), tutlonnlly built for 'spasmodic exertion en tailing periods of rest. A novelty nttracts tho paranoiac, tvo hysteric lunatic, and other defectives, whence seeming Increase of thcso In nny new occupation. Tho relative ratio of In snnlty nmong malo and femalo schcol teach ers In tho United Slates does not bear tut Zlmmcr's position, still the number of de fectives Is great. This Is not duo to, tho occupation, but to Its attraction for ego tists. Most of these defectives have an ancestors the American nnd European rural population. Effects of the bad snnltntl n, tho monotony of diet, the mental stagna tion of rural districts are charged up to higher education. Knrly American alien ists pointed out thcso degenfatlng factors, but fulcome cant nncnt rural health pre vented their warning being heeded. As ths novelty of women ln tho higher educations wears off, defectives will cease to seek It nnd Its nllegcd deteriorating effect Mil vanish. This tendency Is even now i Mown In the large number of d fecttve female op ponents of woman suffrage. The alarmist Is too-oftcn abroad In In sanity statistics. Haying no sense of re lativity, he is biased the nntlquo myth that tho previous generation must be mere per fect than tho coexistent. . (' seizures went about through the city, and began picking up tho men wanted. When located tho Intended victim would be ap proached, quietly "placed under nrrest" and led away. A closed carrlago sped from tho sccno of the seizure. Thero was a leader "missing." That wns all. That night wns a mcmorablo one In Ybor City. The strikers did not realize what was occurring. Many of them went to the county Jail, thinking their officers had been taken there. They came away with puzzled faces. All roxt day tho search continued, and by midnight fifteen of tho twenty-one agita tors on tho Usf had been taken. They wcro guarded nt nn out of tho way spot In tho woods .ind their friends looked fot tl.cm In vain. But the special object of the search eluded tho deportation committee. J. O. Padtlla, a Cuban mulatto, who has a most unsavory record as n strike agitator, who was thi hu promt, authority ln La Hcslstencla, Itn general secretary and the guardian of Its funds, sought rudden secrecy, and has thus far maintained It. Off to Sen. Wednesday rooming between 2 and 3 o'clock thirteen of tho kidnaped men were rushed by special conveyances from tho camp In tho woods to Ballast Point, on tho old Tnmpa bay, whore a schooner, sup plied with nuxlllnry steam power, was In waiting. This vessel is ono of those en gaged ln tho fruit trade between Tampa and Honduras. Sho had been cleared regu larly at the custom house nnd her papers wcro correct. She was "bound south for a cargo of fruit." A special crow of ten men wns taken on board tho vessol to act aa guards for tho prisoners. Tho ngltators wero told that no personal injury would bo dono them, but they wero given to understand that tho pur- pooc of tho expedition was to remove them permanently from Tampa. Some of thom begged pitifully to bo released, promising to avoid further offense. Only two wero turned loose. The ship Balled Just beforo daylight. It Is unknown where she landed. Awaking to another day of Idleness the next morning La Hcslstencla found Itself headless. Those of Its officers nnd leaders who had not been taken had disappeared of their own accord to avoid similar treat ment. "We will never return to work," the; now say. "For every leador taken from us three others have been appointed and our fight will bo won," But It Is cosy to see that tho backbone of the big union la broken. Its soup houses are about out of provisions. The men who had charge of Us funds and its accounts are gone. Now It Is stated that those trusted officers aro short thousands 'of dol lars In their accounts with their Ignorant dupes nnd that thv caused the present strlko In order to cover up their pecula tions, Ono serious error seems to have been made by tho deporters. One of the men sent nway was Louis Barcla, foreman f.f the composing room of the Federation, the organ of La Hcslstencla, He was mistaken by the cartnrs for the editor of the pub llCsWPU U Mttor.? now that he Is a member of bohl TpiU)Mt uwtori Xn. 29? r.nd that he did not properl) belong to the clan of agitators. The Typographical union has taken the matter up. Barcla will probably be brought back on the vessel If communication can be had with tho men In chargo of the expedition. I'urloua CnuM'B for Striking. Overwhelming public sentiment seems to approve tho step that was taken. Many of he strikers themselves approve It, but aro afraid to say so. They arc a most eccen tric, excitable class and do most unexepeted things, Some of their ''strikes" have been laughable In their want of provocation. Sovcral months ago tho men employed In a fnetory gave the "reader." who reads to tho employes as they work, n book of nn Indelicate nnturo nnd ordered him to road It to them. The women employed In the factory, who would be forced to listen, ob jected and tho proprietors of the factory forbade the reading of the objectionable work. All the men struck and remained out two weeks. On another occasion tho foreman of one of tho factories was taken 111. A substitute wns placed In charge. This substitute had a limp and when he walked through tho workroom all tho clgarmakers nt a sig nal quit work. When asked for their com plaint they said: "Wo do not llko this (the new foreman's) walk." The factory had to suspend iinttl the regular foreman got well, Because the owner of a fnetory placed his son In the office to learn the business 400 men struck in that factory and came near causing n general strike. Lately Ln Roelstcncta passed a general rule prohibiting the owner or manager or any member of their families from entering tho workrooms while tho men wero at work. This Is hut a sample of tho unreasonable ness which characterizes this class of lnbor. But the cigar Industry Is nbsolutcly de pendent upon this organization nt present for the operation of Its business. There nro not enough men In the other organizations to operate, six factories. Tnmpa. ths manufacturer and the cigar trade generally await with Interest tho rc Hitlt of the latest remedy for strikes, as adopted by the people of Tampa.

Some times the impurities in the blood uiarlc and mar the skin with blotches, pimples, boils or other eruptions. Sometimes tho result oi oaa oiooa is rheumatism or a debili tated condition which is popularly described as "iccjiiig ma yen out, hardly able to drag myself around." The impurities and poisons which corrupt the blood, clog the hver and cloud the skin are removed by the use of Doctor Tierce's Golden Medical Discov ery. It does more than eliminate the poisons : it increases the activity of the blood-making glands so that there is an increased stirply of pure, body-building blood. It brightens the eyes, cleanses the skin, and gives new, physical energy. Accept no substitute for Dr. Pierce's Goldeu Medical Discovery.
