Chic A a 0, April 12. Tha grreat strike
at tha world's fair is a thing of the
past and the 4,000 men who walked
Out yesterday morning walked back
again this morning and ninety-nine
out of every hundred will work for the
same hours and the same pay as they
received before they struck.
It was ten o'clock last night when
the meeting between the council of
administration and the representatives
ox ine uuuaing trades council came to
an agreement which is to continue
throughout the entire period of the
exposition, and under which further
trouble is impossible. The men have
received the formal concession of

yielded to the demand of the exposition

The first step looking toward peace

tba artiltrutorai on arbltratt to be selected
by tba Uulldlnv and Trades council, on by
tba world s fair managers and s tuird by toss
two."
This proposition was submitted to
the council of administration, aa
the labor men' ultimatum. At
10 o'clock the council of administra
tion submitted to the executive corn
mittee of the strikers the following
resolutions, which were preceded by a
short preamble setting forth the exist

CONDITION OF WINTER WHEAT.
AoTsrniasnt Crop Keport Shows Thai It
Is Not Favorable.
WAsmsoTOH, April 12. The April
' report of the statistician of the depart
mental agriculture makes the average
condition of winter wheat on April 1
T7.4, against 81.2 last year, and that
of rye, 85.7.
The averages of the principal wheat
States are: Ohio, 87; Michigan, 74;
Indiana, 83; Illinois, 72; Missouri, 80;
Kansas, ti2. The average of these six
States is 74.8, against 77 in April, 1891
It is 88 in New York, 87 in Pennsyl
vania, 80 in Maryland, 87 in Virginia,
the Southern states ranging from 83
in Tennessee to 100 in Texas.
The Pacific states show a favorable
condition, with the exception of Cal
ifornia, where too much rain Is re
ported. Seeding was late In the Ohio
and Mississippi valleys because of
widely prevalent drought, rausiug
poor condition of soil and retarding
germination, and in some cases wholly
preventing same.
Over considerable areas in the At
lantic, Middle, Southern and l'acltlo
States seeding conditions were favora
ble. The plant enteral winter in the
main w heat producing states in a low
slat of vitality, caused by persistent
drouth and early cold weather, with
the exception of California, which,
with excessive rains, produced similar
effects. Damage by He' -i tly is
noted In some parts of tb tes of
Ohio, Michigan, Indiana i i inula.
Snow covering has ben, , general
throughout the Eastern, U.,1U and
Korihweatern states, but, notwith
standing, the reports show much
abatement from the be ur tits of the
protection thus afforded because of the
excessive cold of the winter and high
wind, and th alternate thawing and
fretlug in the latter end of the

WAS A PET FOR A CENTURY
Aa Alligator Whlefc Uad Bm Hitwi
te One rami! Hlaoe 1773.
In the bsyoa flowing through the
large sugar plantation of Gabriel Mon
taigne, lying seven or eight miles
south of Thibodeaux, La., there was
recently killed an alligator known to
be something over 120 years old. In
1773 Mr. Montaigne's father's grand
father, immigrating to this country
from France, purchased this tract of
land from its original Spanish owner,
and in an attempt to clear the bayou
of the ferocious and apgres&ive alli
gators which filled it to t to number of
thousands succeeded In Liuing many of
them, and among them the mother
of several young ones, three
of which he killed also, but the
fourth got away, leaving five or
aix Inches of his toil behind him, how
ever. This one was afterward seen
from time to time and always recog
nized by this ruining portion of his
anatomy. lie grew to be something
of a pet with succeeding generations,
who, however, thought it safest to
keep him at a distance despite his
friendly advances, but it nas been a
favorite task with the younger Mon
taignes of the family to go out after
each meal with tidb.ts for Old Shorty,
as be was called because of his de
formity. This age of 120 years is not
unparalleled with these animals, many
being said to attain the age of 200,
though this is difficult of proving, ex
cept in such cases where the creature
is marked in some such way aa Old
Bhorty was.
WILLING TO TAKE A PENSION.
Kantuobjr Darby Who Wanted an Offloe
But Mot Work.
The story of a recent application
made to Senator Blackburn by an old
negro from Kentucky portrays the
eagerness to secure something from
tne government, whatever form the
prize may take. The senator was one
day informed that "Old Mose" had ar
rived from Woodford county. Ken
tucky, and was waiting to consult
with him privately on "er important
mattan."
"Well, Moses," began Senator Black
burn, as the grinning African waa
ushered into his presence, "what
brings yon to Washington?"
"Mars Joe," replied Mose, impres
sively, "I'se got 'portant business, aah.
I wants er office."
"You want an office! Why Moae.
what can you do?"
"Do, Mars Joe? What does every
body do dart's got er orflce? Bless yer
heart, Mars' Joe, yer don't nn'erstand
ole Mose. I hain't lookin' fo' work,
aah; I only wants er orflce."
Senator Blackburn, with as much
seriousness as he could command, as
sured Mose that he waa powerless to
assist blm to an "orflce," but that be
might provide employment in some
private concern. Old Mose'a face fell,
but soon brightened again.
"Well, Mars' Joe," said he. hope
fully, "ef ye kaln't git er orflce fo me,
aah, Jes hustle eroun' an git me er pen
sion. I an't at all 'tickler, aah."

Both Ways.
A minister, gifted with the power of
seeing tne humorous side of life amid
his pastoral duties, can tell a story
with a gusto and relish of a judge of
the supreme court They enjoy a
laugh with the best of men, and their
mirth is as infectious as it is often un
expected. One night a St Paul clergy
man was in a jovial frame of mind.and
he related the following incident for
the benefit of his companion: A
brother minister once had occasion to
marry a couple of darkles, and while
it was a recognized custom in his part
ox tne country that the officiating cler
gyman should salute the bride, this
particular instance was a little more
than the minister could stand. So at
the conclusion of the ceremony he re
marked that while it was the usual
custom to salute the bride on this oc
casion he would omit it "Yes," re
sponded the groiT "on such an occa
sion it is the v -n -i fee the
minister, bu ,a we will
omit It"

HAIL.
We now have about tiOOO on hand
and will apportion it to losers a soon
as we can. There are about three
hundred yet delinquent but some
promise to pay shortly, some in
couple ot months and others this fall
but some few say they will not pay be
cause they bad a Ices, but they have
not reported to me until the third no
tice was sent them in which we gave
some plain talk, but it was not in ny
way offensive or intuiting ss some
claim.
If every rrember pays his assessment
we would have 1 11,400 to apportion
among those who sustained losses,
Now, if when I pay the last, I only
show that I have paid t9,000 or there
abouts, many would like to It now where
the balance was, bence the necessity of
protecting the management, and the
only way to do that is to tell to whom
all money is paid acd wbo fails to pay
Of course if any member baa a good
reason why he should not pay we will
m st heartily give it to the numbers,
otherwise we will bave to say that
they refused to pay and In fact they
will not be considered with the bon
est. I hope to hear (rem every delln
quent before we make our final state

The other day, 1b speaking of the im
proved facilities for luxurious travel in
this country says:
"We are abandoning the old system
of lighting the cars with kerosene
lamps, and more than half the coaches
bave already been equipped with the
most improved and the safest system of
lighting known in this country or
Europe. With the new Pintsch lamps
there can be no possibility of danger
from explosion or otherwise, as the
apparatus is all out side and under the
car, and in the event of mishap, the
fixtures become detached and the gas
escapes into the air."
The brilliant Plntech light, the finest
car illuminant In existence, now In use
on the Union Pacific System fulfills all
the requisite conditions so happily
noted by Mr. Depew.
