Everybody has heard of the famous 1
ride from Winchester made by Gen-
Phil Sheridan. When he reached his
retreating troops, according to tradi- 1
tion, he shouted. "Turn, boys, turn. '
we’re going back.” But Mrs. Sheri- 1
dan, the general's widow, who lives in
.Washington, says those are far from 1
[being the exact words spoken by her ,
1 husband upon that historic occasion. .
What he actually said, according to '
Mrs. Sheridan, could best be ex-j !
pressed by a series of dashes. j

Civil War Looms Up in England
London, May 3.—A general strike

. the country began at midnight. It
. effected close to 5,600,000 workers, i
including more than a million miners. I
who had already given up their la- |
bors in the coal fields.
Another day of suspense, of hopes
and fears, ended with a complete
breakdown of Inst hour negotiations
between the government and repre
sentatives of the trades union con
gress, who had been delegated as
spokesmen for all the men.
Throughout the day and night ev
ery effort was put forward to bring !
nbout an agreement, and even at a 1
late hour, there was a promise of a ;
renewal of the negotiations, which j
gave the anxious nation hope that a
wa.v would be found.
The final conferences developed out
of the debate in the house of com
mons. but it is still difficult to 4m
eertain exactly what happened in the
house, although it is believed that
Premier Baldwin and the other min
isters had further interviews with the
negotiating oommmittee of the trades
union council.
Tense Moments.
The debate in the commons ad
journed about 11 :30, with nothing
accomplished, and large crowds re

buildings waiting the final announce

The scenes at Westminster were
of July, 1914. Downing

“ACHED CACHED”
Lady Says Her Back “Hurt Night

Winfield, Texas.—“My back hurt
night and day,” says Mrs. C. L.
Eason, of R. F. D. 1, this plsce. “I
ached and ached until I could hard
ly go. I felt weak and did not feel
like doing anything. My work was
a great burden to me. I just hated
to do up the dishes, even. I was [
no-account and extremely nervous. J
“My mother had taken Cardul
and she thought It would do me
good, so she told me te take It.
My husband got me a bottle and I

continued It until after the baby’s

“I took eight bottles and I can
certainly say that it helped me.
It is « fine tonic. It built me up
and seemed to strengthen me. I
grew leas nervous and began to
sleep better.
“I can certainly recommend
Cardul to expectant mothers, for to
me it was a wonderful help. ... In

It and I think it 1b a splendid medi

prominent personages.
A. .1. Cook, secretary of the miir
! ers* federation, on leaving the pre
j rincts of the house shortly before
j midnight, said to the newspaper men:
“They have failed; the general
strike is on tomorrow.*’
Similar scenes were witnessed
around rtie headquarters of the trades
union congress in Eoeleston square,
which, throughout the evening was
besieged by volunteers offering their
services. Late in the evening, from
the room where the council was
! sitting came the strains of “Glory.
I Glory. Tallelujah,” and file singing
j continued for several minutes.
! It «eems as if a general stoppage
I of the press will be immediate, as
j many of the f/ondon papers were
i able to issue only early editions for
the country, the printers quitting at
midnight.
All the war time routine measures
so far as concerns vital supplies, are
being put into effect at once and there
probably will be war time regulations
for the protection of the public.
Theater managers he’d a meeting last
nik’-it to discuss whether they should
close down during the strike period,
but no decision was reached.
A section of the crowd outside of
parliament amused itself for nearly
j at» hour by singing “The Red Flag.’*
: and cheering for the miners. An
other section vigorously sang. “Go<l
Save the King."
It looked at times as if trouble
were brewing, but the police man
aged to keep the crowds moving and
thus prevented disorders.
A. J. Cook, in a statement said :
"Tiie government right up to the
last has taken the side of the owners
and has interpreted the royal com
mission's report tomean an imme’-
diate reduction of wages for the men.
That we have refused to aeceflt and
will continue to refuse by the help
of the whole trade union movement.
‘‘The only terms of peace that are
