General Labor Strike Threatens
, , f The'trade of United
" . Kingdom.
London, Aug. 15. There appears now
little hope of averting a great railroad
strike which probably will be accompa
nied by a General labor revolt that will
have tremendout effect on the trade
of the United Kingdom, i ; 3l
! At a meeting held in London yeater'
day by the managers of all the railroads
, having terminals here, it was resolved
that the time bad arrived to resist the
men' encroachments. The managers
contend that the men by striking v. ill
violate the agreement arrived at after
the railway troubles of 1907, under
' which ad disputes were to be referred
to conciliation boards or an arbitrator.
ThiB agreement; they sav, was to run
until 1914.-- ' I
Yesterday meeting was unanimous
'that the only way to terminate constant
dislocation of , busic ess -was to take a
firm stand and refuse all concessions to
the men, . One manager in the inter
View expressed the fear that there will
be grave troubles on all the railway
systems - before the present week is
ended, - ,: ' ! : ,'
- Sectional strikes of railway men were
declared tonight at Manchester, Liver-
' pool, Sheffield and other places,
's London, Aug. 15. The strike fever
baa become epidemic in Great Britain.

The streets of London are resuming
their normal appearance. The van men
began work earl in the day. At the
docks only a portion of the men re
turned to work and a good deal of un
easiness prevailed, as many of the men
refused to accept the settlement ar
ranged by their leaders, and demanded
unconditional sarrender on tbe part of
their employers.

May Have Been a Klnston Man
While passing through a ewamp on
Mr, W. C. Willett's farm a few months
ago a negjQ man wno was in the em
ploy of Mr. Willett ran across a human
skeleton. He informed bis employer of
this gruesome And and the bones were
taken up and all but tbe skull were
buried, this was kept by Mr. Willett
and can now be seen at his office.
Rdceot investigations have led the
public to believe, that the bones were
those of a Mr. Patterson, of Kinston,
who was drowned at ' that place about
five years ago. At the time ot tho ac
cident the river was unusually high,
and although every effort was made to
locate the victim's body, it was never
recovered, but it is supposed that the
body drifted down the river with the
strong current and Iqdged in some
swamp or was buried beneath a wind
bank. There are several of the teth
remaining in the skull, but unfortunate
ly neither of these, contain any filli
and it would be almost impossibl-

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.
The
English Method of Dealing
Out
Supplies by the Week.
In the matter of small savings and
watchfulness of expenditure tbe Eng
lish housewife is abead. For example,
the English housekeeper deals out to
her servants tbe week's 'allowance of
sugar, rice, flour, coffee and all other
household provisions that are kept In
quantity, and requires an account of
It all to be rendered, tbe thing having
been brought to so: floe a point that
she knows the exact amount of each
article requisite for her family, allow
ing so much to each individual ana
that quantity being sufficient as she
knows by experience, two onnces of
tea, for instance, being regarded as a
week's supply for each single individ
ual, one half pound of sugar, three and
one-half pounds of meat for a woman
and five and one-fourth for a man
facts which the housekeeper probably
learned from her mother before ber
knowing, moreover,, the, greater vari
ety of tbe simpler kinds reqmred.
' AH' of these stores she sets down In
her housekeeping book as she gives
tbem out, and she does not fall on the
next dispensing day to cousult ' her
dates and If anything be left over in
tbe cook's hands not accounted for to
subtract that from the amount to be
newly Issued. And In England aerv
ants expect this. So far from being
ludlirnaut with it they would feel as
If there were no guiding band behind
them if left nudone and they given
their Mali In on overflowing store

In fnct. there is no saving which tbe

too small to practice or as beneath ber
dignity. Exchange, j j

ing to defend him the nHit Lincoln was
asAssinated April 14. J 865, received a
stab wound from Bcritth, died in the
Hildesheim asylum for the crimiral in

murdering his wife. He will be buried
on Wednesday.
. The Major had been ill nearly a year.
He was United States Consul here
when he killed his wife after his mind
had become deranged. He was convic

made periodical attempts to obtain his
freedom, -but finally abandoned 'tope
and lived in the institution in luxury
and some tranquility.
Henry Reed Rathbone was a cousin
ofthe late Gen. John Finley Ratbbone,
a widely known Albany manufacturer,
commander in the civil war and philan
thropist. He was born in Albany, .laly
1, 1837, and served' with' 'distinction in
the war. He was appointed major in
the United States Volunteers, Nov. 29,
1862, and resigned July, 1867.
Major Rathbone was in the box vith
President Lincoln at Ford's Theater in
Washington, April 14, 1875, and it was
he who seized the assassin, John Wilk
es Booth, after he had fired the fata!
bullet at the President. B oth was al
so armed with a dagt-er and' a thrust
from that prevented Mnj r Rathbone
from making good his capture of the
actor.
In 1887 he was i pointed consul gen
eral at Hanover, Germany. Shortly
afterward he lost his reason, aiui the
tragedy followed which brought about
the long incarceration which has just
ended with the soldier's death.

there is a clause providing for there-
call of all elective officers, including

New Mexico, but further legislation ia .
necessary to have either territory at
this session of Congress, unless both
the Senate and the House pass the
present resolution over the Presidential
veto. That the veto may be overrid

as to its fate in the Senate there is
much doubt v, -V. y , . ,
The message was read to the HiAisa

applause broke from tbe Republican
side. The Democrats remained quiet.
The message was referred to the. Ter

hood resolution and veto was made by
representative Flood, of Virginia, chair
man of tbe committee n Territories.
He declared tbat the veto, would re
ceive Immediate ' consideration ana

might "express its convictions about .
this great matter." Tbe bill was re
ferred without roll call.
