Demonstration by Strike Sympa thizers Last M'zht Continu ing Jor Three Hours. SEVERAL PEOPLE INJURED. The Mob Bombarded Cars sad Beat Non- Uaioa Employes Strike Settled at Midnight Sp Par as Arbitration Committee Is Concerned. Bv Telegraph to the Horning star. Norfolk, Va., March 8. After perhaps the most violent demonstra tion of the strike sympathizers since the strike began, lasting for three hours, at the corner of Main and Church streets, in which a mob of one or two thousand men bombarded cars, beat non-union employes, and in a hundred other ways showed their vehemence against the Norfolk Ball way and Light Company, the com mittee of the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce, having in charge the arbi tration of the strike, made its report shortly after midnight to-night, having neen in session ior urty-six hours. During the time before the settlement by the committee was reached. several people .-were hurt by the missiles thrown through the ear win dows by the mob, non-union motor men and conductors were beaten and badly used, windows and electric lights in the cars that were run after dark weredemolished.and several men now rest behind the bars in the police sta tion. having been arrested bv the bo- lice and other officers. Corporal Walker Truxton. a c rand- son of Commodore Truxton. fought a band-to-hand conflict with a strike sympathizer on the rear platform of a car in the view of a thousand neonle. and held his man, whose name was Lee Curtis. It was necessary to bring a revolver into play to do it At midnight the strike was settled. so far as the arbitration committee is concerned. Tneir report stioulates that tha em. plojes shall be bonded as prescribed. that eighty-five per cent, of the old employes snail betaken back to work, end that twenty-four of the non-union workmen shall be retained, whether they become members of the union or not. Norfolk. Va.. March 9 It has been impossible to ascertain un to an early hour this morning bow the strikers as a body regard the report of the arbitration committee ;butMr. Hugh Cordon Miiler, counsel for the strikers, expressed it as bis opinion that they will abide by the decision and return to work. A meeting of the strikers will be held to-day (8undav) at which the whole matter will be laid before them. The militia will remain until a decis ion is given. A Cup of Boiled Coffee. Below is a recipe for coffee made in an ordinary coffeepot, which is one given by Miss Nellie Dot Ranche in her cooking lectures. This . is for old fashioned boiled coffee, and if followed exactly as to proportions will give results which will bring joy to the most fastidi ous connoisseur in coffee. Have your coffee ground fairly coarse; use one tablespoonful to each cup of coffee to be made and one for the pot. Add one eggshell broken into pieces. - This does exactly as well as the egg itself, as its only purpose is to settle the grounds, and the egg does not, as many believe, make the coffee taste any the richer. Place the coffee in a bowl over night, add ing one cup. of cold water. Stir carefully until the mixture resem bles paste. In the morning add the roper number of cups of water, al ow the coffee to come to a boil and remain boiling about two minutes. Add a tablespoonful of cold water when you remove the coffee from the etove. Origin of Vegetables. Celery, it is said, originated in .Germany. The onion in Egypt. The parsnip in Arabia. Spinach was also first cultivated there. The cucumber hails from the East Indies. The radish is a native of China and Japan. The potato is a native of Peru. Cabbage grew wild in Siberia. Parsley was first known in Sar dinia. . The garden cress is from Egypt and the east. TWINKLINGS. A Lucky Fellow: "Been shootino- for a wsek.

Rafferty Mrs. Caughen wasone of those eminently proper young matrons who put their fingers to their ears when papa says "Gosh I" - She was bo nice that her husband was afraid to tell her anything about himself, wd so a sort of tacit reserve grew up between them which was not conducive to that old fashioned style of domestic felicity whijh is born of absolute confidence and nur- tured by a broad and kindly-charity for human frailty. Mrs. Caughen had no frailties and no children. Mr. Caughen had many frailties, but he assiduously concealed them from his wife,, not because he was a natural hypocrite, but because he couldn't bear to shock her high ideals. He was fat and liked colored shirts. She was thin and insisted on buying for him black clothes and linen of immacu late whiteness. She opined that "patterns were undignified for a married man' and he said: "All right, Jane. If you can stand it I can." . ' She had been to college,- and sometimes she asked him whether he never "yearned for the higher, opportunities . of a professional life?"- Being only a moderately successful broker of grain and hay, he did not exactly appreciate her aspirations, but he never gave him self away by arguing the point. - She loathed gambling of all kinds and "belonged" to a lot of societies for the prevention of games of haz ard and for the promotion of sure thing enterprises among the young. She regarded it as "vulgar" to show any tense interest in the "commer cial affairs of her husband, and so, riastead of getting "nearer" to him in the old, commonplace way, she gradually trained him into the sub conscious belief that his home was a sort of compulsory training school where he ate two meals a day and slept eight or nine hours - every night under penalty of being "up lifted" toward the same intellectual plane with Mrs. Caughen. Of course there had been times during the first two years of his married life when he began to "talk shop" over the dinner table, but his wife showed so little interest in the doings "on the street" and display ed such a frigid hauteur when he talked of his associates "in trade" that the good natured man, who was far from dull, gravitated into a condition of habitual Bilence which convinced his wife that he wa3 becoming "thoughtful." She never went near his business office, except once, and that's what this story is about. She had been out buying a cloak, and her choice fell upon one of those "sample" creations. "The only one in town of that color sintl fabric," said the saleslady, ' ;ind you'd better take it." Mrs. Caughen being "shy" about $? pocket el Jier pride and high sense of propriety and went to her husband's office to get it. "He's at the telephone just now," said the office boy, pushing out a chair. She sat down and in the silence of the closed room heard her husband discourse to some unknown friend thus : "all right? Sure she's all right 1 I'm going down there with her. What? The trained nurse, yes. . Got' that? Well, you can do as you please, but I'm going to risk a few hundred on her. Yes, Sunday night; want to be on the same train, you know. Got to look after her. And say hello! Hello! Say, old man, keep this dark, will you? It's a dead secret; nobody on but you. Good by." When he came out of the tele phone box, his wife was gone. "A lady called while you were in there," said the office boy, "but she said she couldn't wait." "Who was it?" "Don't know, sir: never seen her before. Kinda tall, skinnv lookin nervous, but dressed swell." "You weren't down at the office today, were you, Jane ?" i "I? The idea!" That's tbe way the dinner con versation started that evening. You see, Mrs. Caughen was one of those women who just can't tell a lie. "I may have to go to St. Louis next Sunday night," said he after a tea pouring pause. "So?" She watched him handed his cup. as sne "Yes. I hate to go, but it's a case of must. I" "Slang again! Harold, dear, why will you interlard your conver sation with slang?" "I expect to make a killing, er that is to say, I have a deal on" Here he got red, coughed, reach ed out his hand and added : "Another lump of sugar, please, I expect to make ar neat sum in St. Louis if I get there in time Monday morning. Oats,, you know. I got a une on twenty carloads or' Here the doorbell rang and Mrs. Caughen, with unusual fervor, waved aside the maid and went to the door. "A new cloak I bought today she explained when she returned to the table. But it wasn't. It was a note for. Caughen, which she signed for and poked into her deep pocket. When Harold was asleep, she got it out and read: Dear Old Chunks I'm off tonight with Made line. If you can't come on Sunday with the Nurse, send some other good fellow with a bunch of money and plenty of nerve. I seen the Nurse today. She's as plump aa aa August quaU and prettier than ever.

He had hardly gone when she began to pack her trunk and burn the old love letters that Harold (nobody else) had written to her in the old days when she be lieved in him. - On Wednesday morning she got a letter from him inclosing a draft lor $500. ; , . Thii is put of the profit! of my venture. - Z want yon to buy something for yourself. Don't tint yourself. I hope to make three times aa much before Fm through. I'll be home as soon as I can break away. He got home Friday morning. & I salutatory -ring of the bell brought I no answer, ana ne let nimself in with his latchkey. The house had a musty smell as if it had been closed for weeks. The maid was gone. The cockroaches zigzagged across the kitchen floor and the lowered shades gave the rooms a gloomy, almost a sepulchral look. He wandered from room to room, wondering at the clatter of his own footfalls.' Pinned to his pillow he found a letter in his wife s hand writing': . Mr. Caughen or Chunks, if you prefer it I hve left you permanently. The-dty I called at your office for the first time I was an unwilling auditor of your self conviction. I know all about your escapade with your "trained nurse" and Madeline. I have tried to overlook your natural and evidently unconquerable vul (rarity, but your latest adventure merits nothing but the hackles1' of a felon. I received the $500 which you sent me aa a peace offering, I suppose. - As toon as I am settled I shaU set a divorce. I despise Harold read no further. He grabbed a pen, and with his heart in his fingers wrote : Dear Jane For. God's sake, pause I Trained Nurse is a horse that is. a mare. So is Madeline stable companions, you know. I went to St. Louis to make a killing on her. She was entered In the Mound City Stakes and trained to tbe hour. Harold in his excitement was for getting the injunction against 6lang. Gaffney put me next, and I went down there to fet the post odds on a ood thing-. I know you don't like rambling-, but this wasn't gambling-. It was a sure thing. . I cashed for $2,000 on tbe race. The Nurse won galloping, and the first thing I done Jane winced when she read that was to send you live hundred. For God's sake But why pry into the private cor respondence of a model married couple like the Caughens? She came back when she got ready, but she kept the change. Chicago Kecord-Herald. He Wanted a Bear. "The sickest man I ever took into the woods," said an Adirondack guide near North creek, "was a law yer who came in from Buffalo last fall to kill a bear. He said he was going to kill one if it took all sea- son. ne wanted a rug ol nis own killing for his office. He stayed in tne woods tnree weeks and wouldn t look at deer or small game. Finally ne had to go nome. lie sent his stuif out to the railroad by team and walked out himself, saying that would be his last chance at a bear. "Sure enough, he went around a big rock and met a bear face to face in the trail. He forgot what he was after, forgot he had been hunting tnrcp weeks for this very animal, forgot that he wanted a rug for his office and even forgot that he had a gun. ie turned and, sprinted m the direction from which he came till it all came over him that that bear was just what he wanted. Then he stopped, went back and saw from the tracks that the bear had gone a good deal faster than he did, and in the opposite direction. JAPANESE WOMEN. - Phey Are Taught When Tonng; to B Thorossh Honaekeepera. In Japan: girls are brought up to sew, too ana anenu to tno nomes, ior even the women of the 'highest class have Household duties to perform. Japanese ladies never go to maj-ket; the market comes to them that Is, the deal ers bring round their wares for sale at their customers' houses. The fishmonger brings his stock, and whatever is bought ne prepares for cooking. Most Japanese women make their own clothes, and even the wealthiest embroid er their own garments. They are thrifty little dressmakers and do much careful planning and cutting as well as painstak ing renovation of worn clothing, says -nomeJNor.es. The dinner hour all the year round is a little before dusk. A. miniature table about a foot square and eight inches higbV is piacea before each person. On this is placed a lacquered tray with space for four or five dishes, each measuring four or nve inches across. Each little bowl and dish has its special Dlace. the sonn always being in the middle and the rice to tne left. The appetite is reckoned by the number of bowls of rice eaten. A maid ia at hand with a large bowl of rice to re plenish the small ones. Directly one empties a bowl she replen ishes it, but should one leave even a few grains she will understand that one has had sufficient. Great care and much artistic taste are employed in preparing dinner. The viands are always served in the daintiest fash ion, and when guests are present the meal becomes quite a ceremonious affair. The skill shown by the cook ia quite re- maraabie. or Instance, an omelet will oe nerved in tne form of a chrysanthe mum, while fish is shredded to look like snow, and chicken is done up in all sorts of odd shapes. Poorlr Paid Racmalters. Few people realize that a square foot of wis average rersian rag la worth about 10 and it takes a sinala weaver twenty three days to complete this, portion. This allows the weaver about 44 cents per day for her wool and her labor, but three fourths of this amount goes to pay for the wool, and onlv 11 cents oer day is left for the weaver. The wages of the pro ducer of the inferior rug are a little bet ter. A. square foot is sold for about CO cents, and the time required for weaving It is but two days, thus allowing the weaver 80 cents per dur for her wool and labor. Bha uses inferior wonl. nntin. but little of it, and pays only a nominal.! wicay ujb. 4-oe irameworK of her loom costs comparatively little, as the rug it produces is from twenty to thirty times the size ot the superior rug. Thus it appears that in the long run the infe rior weaver is better paid than the one who fatigues her brain with her efforts to produce a rug of the best quality.

Lady Pauncefote and her four daugh ters, who have lived In the United States since 1888, when Sir Julian was appoint ed to represent Great Britain at Wash ington, declare they would rather reside in the capital of the United States than anywhere else, London not excepted. Their long residence in Washington, dur ing which they have seen three presidents in the White House, has made them so much a part of the capital that it is doubtful if any other family would be missed as much as they.

For the last two days it has been persist ently rumored here that the govern ment forces have sustained a severe defeat. . v v . It is said that when the Colombian gunboat Boyaca - landed reinforce ments at Chiriqui, tbe civil and mili tary chief of the province, R Lastra, prepared to attack the revolutionists at 8a n Pablo, about five miles from David, and sent Col. Luque forward with 200 recruits. Tbe latter, not knowing the country well, are said to have been surprised by 600 of tbe enemy, between two embankments, from which position the revolution ists were able to shoot down the gov ernment soldiers. Many of the latter are understood to have been made prisoners. It is hoped in government circles that David was not captured by the revolutionists, as the town was strong ly intrenched. Lastra may be able to hold out until reinforcements sent by General Castro reach htm. The British steamer Taboga, due here March 10th from Pedgral, will probably bring more details of the engagement.
