THERE WAS A STRIKE
AND THEREWAS NOT
Airs. Freeman, of the Freeman Overall
Company, Says No.
NONE OF TUB PUULIC'S BUSINESS
When .Mrs. l'l-cciium Wus Asked About
It, Shu KiiewXotlilnu: of Stril.es or
Strikers, but Would Just liiliu to See
the Striker;. .Hake TrouIilu--Tliu
CJirls I'ald a Visit to thu I'aelory
.lust to Sue the Scabs, They Said.
At the office of the Krepinnn overall
factory In the Gould building yester
day it was announced that there had
hot been any "understanding" between
the company and its striking girl opera
tives. This Information was volun
teered by Mrs. Freeman, of Hlmrham
ton, mother of Louis It. Freeman, the
manuger of the concern,
it had been current In business cir
cles that the girls nnd the company
had settled their differences and such
wus reported In an evening paper. Af
ter declining to be Interviewed, Mrs.
Freeman stamped the published story
as false from beginning to end and said
It was the business of neither the news
papers, nor the public.
"When will the girls return to work 7"
Mrs. Freeman was asked.
"What girls?" wus her question.
"The girls who hud the recent trou
ble with the company and went on
strike."
"There was no trouole," she replied.
"Is there to be any arrangement with
your old employes?" .Mrs. Freeman
was asked.
"Why, if any girls come here to see
us we shall be ready to talk with
them; but we seek no 'arrangement.1 "
"How many hands do you employ
now?" asked the reporter.
SATISFACTORY UF.PLY.
"As many as we need," was the re
Ply. "Do you think you will need more
help In the future?"
"1 don't know; If we do, we can get
them."
"You are advertising for 'help now.
aren't you?"
"We are ulways ready to secure
competent help; If any competent glil
comes here for work and we need her.
why we employ her."
"Have the striking girls attempted
to prevent others from getting work
here?" Mrs. Freeman was asked.
"What 'striking girls?' 1 don't know
about any strike. Hut If any ot those
girls attempt any of that kind of busi
ness, just let us catch 'em at it, that's
all!"
Mrs. Freeman concluded to Interview
with a further reminder that the situa
tion was none of The Tribune's busi
ness nnd with another admonition not
to publish unythlng about It.
Louis K. Freeman, manager of the
company, Is out of the city and will nut
iv tu rn until Saturday, lit Is thought
he Is In search of new hands for the
factory.
OIKLS PAID A VISIT.
On the sidewalk In front of the build
ing the reporter encountered a group
of the strlkeis, who had Just emerged
from the factory after an unsatisfactory
Interview.
"Just say we came over to see the
scans at woik" called out oi.e of the
girls who recognized the reporter from
Ills good clothes and lordly bearing.
"Yes," said another, 'and say that
they let the scabs out the back way
tor fear we would pitch Into them."
"We wouldn't do anything to them,
would we girls?"
"Xo we wouldn't do a thing to them."
As the reporter was getting out of eur
shot one of the girls called after him:
"Say, do you wear scab overalls?"
AMUSEMENTS.
Next Monday night Caroline Miskel
Iloyt will appear at the Academy of
Music in "A Contented Woman," which
was written for her by her husband,
Charles Jloyt, who has given the stage
as great a number of successes as any
living playwright. The scene of the
play is laid In Denver and it deals with
the woman's suffrage question. It Is
a play as full of politics, fun and good
rock-bottom, hard, common sense as
an egg is of meat, and yet It is wholly
devoid of anything like partisanship.
There is not a speech, nor a witticism
in it that will give offense to the thin
nest skinned member of any party.
What true woman, In her heart, of
hearts, will not applaud this sentiment,
the "tag" of the play, spoken by Mrs.
lloyt: "Ladles: We trust our hus
bands with our lives, our honor, our
children and our fortunes. Why, then,
can we not safely trust them to vo:e
for us?"
One of the finest productions ever
seen at the Grand Opera house Is there
now. It Is "The Hoy Tramp," and the
large audiences that have witnessed
It the past two nights were delighted.
Young Mr. Neuvllle Is an excellent
character comedian, a rare thing In
these days; and his work In the ulece
Is of the highest order. Mine. Neuvllle
Is a powerful and vigorous actress.
She is well equipped for the portrayal
of tragic loles, for she has a command
ing presence, a powerful and ilexlble
voice, and sways and enthuses her au
diences with unmlstukable magnetism.
Register, Wheeling, W. Va. At Da

ternoon. The company comes from the
HIJou theater, UlUBliamton, the man
ager of which assures Manager Davis
that it is a line production.
SCHOOLBOYS WERE JEALOUS.
They AhsiuiltcdTlioirMnrorortiiiiute
Schoolmate and Were Arrested.
Alderman Howe's office yesterday af
ternoon wus turned Into a kindergarten.
Fully forty children, boys and girls,
their ages varying from 11 to 17 years,
were crowded Into the otllce to hear a
case which deeply interested nil.
One week ago Sumuel Rosenberg wns
walking from No. 0 school with a young
Miss as a companion. This young
Miss is quit pretty and It was brought
out yesterday that the other boys of the
school are jealous of Mr. Rosenberg, uge
17. However that may be, Samuel,
while a-walklng wus commanded to
halt by four of his schoolmates.
When Samuel halted the four as
saulted him, blacking his eye. He
caused thu unest of William Mullley,
Charles and Harry Murray and Walter
Rotus. The easts went on yesterduy
after school time. There were ten wit
nesses for the prosecution, ull children.
The Janitor und teachers of the school
und some of the parents were present.
R. J. Hourke acted as attorney for
the defendants, and Attorney Frank
lloyle for the prosecution. Thu un
important young Miss gave her testi
mony in a straight forward way, Ro
tus, one of the defendants, Was dis
charged. A decision In the caso of the
others was reserved.
A10ST IMPORTANT EVENT.
That Is the Way New Lehigh Valley
Arrangement Is Viewed.
"The most Important event In the
anthracite trade chionlcled for some
time past wus the announcement yo
tciduy that the Lehigh Valley Railroad
company had contracted with J. P.
Morgan & Co, for a general adjustment
of tlie road's finances, und that the
same firm had arranged with the trus
tees of the Packer estate to fund the
entire indebtedness of the estate for a
number of years and to have the vot
ing powof of all the Lehigh Valley
slock controlled by the estate," says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
"This double arrangement 1h taken In
well-informed circles to mean that still
more momentous changes arc contem
pla,ted. Among other things; rumor
bus it that a deal Is contemplated In
Rending securities similar to that late
ly made In Northern Pacific securities.
It Is stated thut the Heading reorgani
zation syndicate has been notified to
take a large amount of new bonds nnd
first prefeired stock, It belig current
ly believed that J. P. Morgan & Co.,
or allied Interests, will later place these
securities abroad.
"This manifestly renders It of the
utmost Importance that the anthracite
trade and the affairs of the anthracite
carrying ror.ds shoul'd be in the best
possible condition, to place the Reading
seinrltles to the best advantage. Mr.
Morgan's influence Is now paramount
in Reading, Krle and Lehigh Valley,
while the Vundcrbllt Interest Is strong
in Lackawanna and Delaware and Hud
son. The Pennsylvania and Jersey
Central roads will doubtless co -operate
In any movement tending. to Impiove
the trade.
In conlirmatlon of tlie statement ex
clusively published by the Commercial
Advertiser two months ago, It Is now
claimed that Mr. Moi gun's hand will
soon be felt in soft coal affulis, and
that one of his first steps will be to
harmonize bituminous and anthracite
al'l'nl's, so that the latter will not suf
fer unduly by competition with the
forinei."

Street Methodist Episcopal church, rep
resented l W. W. Lathrope, offeted the
opposition alleging that tlie house Is In

PRIZE RING RULES.
Referee Siler Submits Extended Instruc
tions to Corbett and Filzsimmons
Governing the Coming Contest.
Carson, New, March 10. The most
delicate subject In connection with the
big fight was broached todny when
Referee (leoige Slier submitted to Cor
bett and Fltzslmmons his Interpreta
tion of tlie Queensbury rules. Sller's
communication, which was In the un
til! e of a formal letter, was not re
ceived with manifestations of Joy at
either camp. Mr. Sller's letter, which
was handed to the press shortly before
noon, leads as follows:
Carson City, New, March 10.
To James J. Corbett, Esq., and Ilobert
Kltzsiinnioiis, Ksq.
Herewith 1 hand to each of you the rules
of Marquis of Queensbury, under the pro
vision of which you are to contest for
the heavyweight championship of tlie
world in tills city on March 17. Accom
panying the rules, 1 hand you some in
structions and suggestions. These are
based upon careful study, research, equi
ty and fairness.
Neither of you can afford to have the
slightest suspicion of doubt cloud the
title which will belong to the victor. To
that end I herewith hand you the rules
and certain interpretations under which
you are to battle:
Hule 1. To be a fair, stand-up boxing
match In a 21-foot ling, to as near thut us
practicable.
Hulo 2. No wrestling or hugging al
lowed. Hide 3. The rounds to be of three min
utes' duration and one minute time be
tween rounds.
Hule -J. If either man fall, through
weakness or otherwise, he must get up
unassisted, ten second to be allowed him
to do so, the other man meanwhile to re
turn to his corner, and when tlie fallen
man lb on his legs the round is to be le
sumed and continued until .ne three
minutes have expired. If one man fails
to come to the scratch In the ten seconds
allowed, It shall be In tlie power of the
referee to give his award In favor of the
other num.

a helpless stale with his toes off the

eree to name time and place, as soon as

the match must be won or lost, Unless the
backers of both men agree to draw the
stakes,
Hule S. The gloves to be fnlr-slzed box
ing gloves of tho host quality and new,
Hule 9. Should it glove burst or conic
olT, It must bo repaired to the referee's
satisfaction.
Hule 10. One man on one knee Is con
sidered down, and If struck the. man Is
entitled to the stakes.
Hllle It. No shoes or boots with springs
allowed.
Hule 12. Tho contest In all other re
spects to be governed by the revised rules
of tho London prize ring.
ltuln 4 requires some analysis, ns some
of tho polhts die often misconstrued. The
rule says: If either man full through
weakness or otherwise, etc. This, of
course, was Intended to prevent a man
from standing over his fallen opponent.
It piolmbiy never occurred to the f miner
of the rules thnt at times a man either
falls or Is knocked down In his opponent's
corner. If then the man on ills feet retires
to his corner, ns the rule directs, he will
bo standing over his fallen opponent, nnd
doing just what the rules mean lie shall
not do. To. avoid all disputes on tills
score, I will simply Instruct you, In case
of a knock down, to retire at least ten
feet from your fallen opponent, to give
him an opportunity to rise.
Hule 12, which says tho contest In all re
spects to be governed by the revised rules
of the London prize ling, Is ,1 consider,
one of the most Important of the twelve
rules, nnd appears to be the bone of con
tention In almost every contest. It has
been thrust on all referees, myself nmruig
them, to Inquire of the principals whether
they choose to lilt In clinches with one
arm free nnd also on breakaways. Inva
riably the principals agree not to hit In
clinches, or on breakaways, but they gen
erally forget all about their agreement
and frequently violate It. This, then
causes not only their seconds, but the
spectators to cry "roul" every time a
blow Is delivered In a clinch or on a
breakaway, and causes much trouble and
argument. It also makes the duties oT a
referee arduous and disagreeable, and
keeps him continually In hot water. Fur
thermore, It gives the refereo an oppor
tunity to decide a contest on a technical
foul, which Is generally unsatisfactory to
everybody concerned.
Neither of you, 1 am sure, desires lo
win the coming contest on a technical
foul, and to avoid any such contingency
thiough hitting In clinches with a free
arm and In breakaways, I will rule that
you be permitted to hit Hi clinches with
one arm free and also on breakaways.
Witli this Interpretation of this rule an
nounced a week before the contest you
will both have time to practice this Impor
tant point, and will have no cause for
complaint should either of you be caught
otf your guard,
Couching by seconds during the rounds
Is objectionable to everybody and Is apt
to create discord and argument. Hotli
of you have undoubtedly mapped out your
plans of attack and defense, and netd
no advice from your respective seconds.
The latter will, therefore, iefrain from
making any comment dining the contest.
Tilvial fouls may be unintentionally
committed by either of you, but unless
they huve u direct bearing on the result
will be overlooked by me In my discre
tion. ,
This, I believe, covers, all the Important
points. Itoth of you uro thoroughly ac
quainted with the Marquis of Queens
berry rules not touched upon by me, and
I hope to see both live strictly up to them.
With a fair Held, no favors, no preju
dices, I remain,
Very truly youts,
George Slier, Referee.
Fltzslmmons was the first to receive
his copy. Under the advice Cjf Martin
Julian he declined to say a word.
"The less you say now. Hob, the less
you may have to resret" was Julian's
advice.
"There Is time enough to discuss this
mutter before next Wednesday. Speak
ing for Fitr.siinnums and myseir, 1 nm
not prepared to say that the rules
please me, but I do not wish it under
stood that they are not entirely satis
factory. We have everything at stake
in this fight uiul I will not take the
chance of injuring Hob's prospects by
jumping at conclusions too hastily. Wn
will come out with tin expression In
a day or two after we have thought
the question over carefullw"
It was evident fiom Julian's man
ner that he intended probing the wood
pile carefully for "niggers" before
making up his mind. Fltzslmmons took
the situation gravely and nevtr opened
his mouth.
When Corbett's letter was placed In
his hands he lellred to a quiet corner
and peni3ed it thoughtfully.
"I think 1 had better sleep on this,"
he concluded, "before giving out my
opinion. I always respected Sller's
judgment und do so now, but you enn't
tell what holes you may find in a thing
until you look It over carefully. I
want to handle this matter myself so
that I may thoroughly understand it.
Delaney, White and 1 will read the let
ter over toi-isht and go through every
clause piecemeal. Just, now I would
rather be excused from making any
comment on It. All I want Is an even
break and we are cirtaln to get It from
Slier. Its best, though', thnt we should
have a clear understanding of the rules
before hand."

ITCHING PILES AND OTHER RECTAL
TROUBLES EASILY CURED UY A
NEW AND SAFE METHOD.
A Hoiunrkahlu Number of Cures .Hade
Ity the Pyramid Pile Cure.
About one person In every four suf
fers from home form of lectul dlscusc.
The most common und annoying Is Itch
ing piles, Indicated by warmth, slight
moisture and intense, uncontrollable
Itching in tho parts affected,
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times give temporary relief, but noth
ing like a permanent cure can be ex
pected lrom such supcrllclul treatment.
Tlie only permanent cure for Itching
piles yet discovered Is the Pyramid Pile
Cure, not only for Itching idles, but for
every other form of piles, blind, bleed
ing or protruding. Tho first applica
tion gives Instant relief and the con
tinued use for a short time causes a per
manent removal of the tumors or the
small parasites which cause the Intense
Itching and discomfort of Itching piles.
Many physicians for a long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief afford
ed by the Pyramid Pile Cute wes be
cause It was supposed to contain cocoa
lne, opium or similar drugs, but such
Is not the case. A recent careful nnal
ysls of the remedy showed It to be ab
solutely free from any coconlne, opium,
or in fact any poisonous, ln.Hulous
dings whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure
Is probably the only pile cure exten
sively recommended by physicians, be
cause it Is so safe, so prompt In the
relief afforded and so far as known the
only positive cure for piles except a
surgical opotatlon.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure
has become the best known, the safest
and the most extensively sold of any
pile cure before the public.
Nearly all druggists now sell it at 50
cts. and $1 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Albion,
Mich., for books on cause of cure of
piles and also hundreds of testimonials
from all parts of the United States.
If sniveling from any form of piles ask
your druggist for a package of Pyramid
Pile Cute and try It tonight.
