Strike of tho Pin-Sotters in the Howl ing .Alleys in tho Auditorium. Short News Notes. There was a strike in the bowling alleys In the Auditorium, Tuesday night. Ordinarily that is not a very sensational occurrence in a bowling alley, but in this case It was. There are three alleys, and in each a boy was employed to set up the pins. Now a pin-setter is somewhat of an artist and a real, full-fledged artist cannot be expected to work without assistance, so Tuesday night about 7 o'clock the pin-setters demanded of the manager or tho alleys that an assist ant be employed to hand them the pins. At first the management could not sec the necessity for an assistant, but when he received the ultimatum of the pin-setters, "No assistant, no pins," he decided that they would concede tho assistant, and another boy was put to work. An hour later tho pin-setters again upproached tho management. Their assistant was not getting within fifteen cents of the pay per night he should receive, they said, and unless It was made right they would refuse to work. It was not made light, and they struck. Yesterday new pin-setters were em ployed, and last night offulrs had re sumed their wonted condition at the alleys. Concert Postponed. The concert which was to have been given In the Auditorium tonight by Professor Watktnsham's orchestra for the benefit of the Y. W. C. A., has been postponed on account of the blizzard. The date on which the concert will be given will be announced later. TOLD IN A FEW LINES. The new officers of Camp 9,135, Mod ern Woodmen of America, will bo in stalled Thursday evening, March 13.

Mrs. Swisher, an old resident ot this side, who Is nearly seventy years of ago, created- a. stir In the upper por tion of the Twentieth ward yestcrduy morning, by stepping Into a bathtub, with the evident Intention to end her life. Tho old lady lives with her daughter, a Mrs. Deltzer, at 2316 Plttston avenue, which Is near the MlnooUa city line, nnd has been In a despondent mood for some time. Enrly In the morning she visited tlvo bath room, nnil was not missed for some Unto.

George Schrader, ot 1122 Stafford ave nue, wns given a hearing before Alder mnn Lenten yesterday on charges of as sault and battery, and threats. Tho complaint was entered by his wife, who alleged that when tipsy Schrader amuses himself by abusing her nnd that his dislike for her and the world In general Is because ho Is unable to keep a job for any length of time owing to his disposition, He was ordered to furnish bail in the sum of $600 for bis appearance at court. A Peculiar Case. George Z.sappka, of 331 South Wash ington avenue, had warrants sworn out before Alderman Ecntes yesterday, against his brother Michael, for de frauding a board bill, and also for un brotherly conduct towards Mrs. Zsap pka. It appears that Michael left his brother's home without settling for his keep, and after he had gone, George also learned of an Intimacy existing be tween his wife and brother. Aldermnn Lentcs after hearing all the facts, de cided to hold the defendant In bail for court, but about this time, the prosecu tor relented, forgave his brother, and paid the costs. In a short time however, he re turned and stated that shortly after arriving home Michael started In to "clean house," and made riiro threats, so that George was afraid ho would do him bodily harm. The alderman made out a committment, and the pug nacious brother was landed In the Al der street station house. He will be given a hearing this morning. Xaid at Rest.

Fred Lentes, son of Aldermnn and Few people can understand the feel ings of the pugilist as he is being counted out. He hears the seconds ticked off. He struggles to rise, , but struggles in vain, He has lost the fight. There are some who are making a losing light for life that can appreciate this; those whose lungs nre diseased. With every tick of the watch, they know that they are being counted out. The great question is haw can a quick rally be made to continue the fight against disease? Many who have :ibkcd that question have fouuel a satisfactory answer in the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cures bronchitis, obstinate, deep-seated coughs, hemor rhage, night -sweats, emaciation, and other conditions which if neglected or unskilfully treated may find a fatal termination iu consumption. "Whtn I commenced taking Br Tierce's Clolden Medical Discovery," writes Mr. John T. Reed, of Jefferson, JefftrMm Co., Ark., "I was very low with a cough, nud would ut times spit up blood. I was not able to elo any work at all. was weak and my head was eilzsy. The first bottle I look did me so much pood that I had faith in it and continued until I had taken twelve bottles. Now I do not look like uor feel like the same mail as. I was a year ago. People were astonished and said they did not think I could live, I can thankfully say that I am entirely cured of n disease from which had it not been for sour wonderful ' Discovery ' I would have died."

Syndicate Secures 3200,000,000 Rus sian Trolley Concession. from the London Uies, Electric tram cars of American build are about to Invade the land of the caar. To a syndicate composed entirely or Americans tho Russian government has just mado one ot the most Important concessions ever granted any foreign corporation. It has for Its object the electrification of tho tram lines iu St. Petersburg, Moscow and several smaller cities in Russia. Murray A.,Verner. of Pittsburg, Unit ed States ot America, has been conduct ing negotiations with the Russian gov ernment on behalf of this syndicate, and the papers were hlgneel by M, do AVitte, Russian minister of finance, a few days uuo. The value of the concession Is over 10,000,000, and the syndicate ngteed to rebuild 313 miles of lullway, in addition to constructing now lines in territory designated bv the government. Sir, Vernor has been negotiating with the Russian government for ninny months. When a prellmlnarv tender was tnaelo by his hyndlcato over a year ago to tako over the tram Hues In St. Petersbiitg, another American syndi cate, consisting principally of Now York capitalists, made an unsuivessful effort te secure) thn rights, Tho Verner syndicate Is composed of men who have been associated for many years with the management of tram lines In tho I'nlted States. Mr, Verner and II, Sellers McKee, one of the largest stockholders, own valuable train Hues In Pittsburg. Indianapolis, nnd several wustwn cities. Tho work of electrifying the Rtibblau tram lines will begin curly In tho spring, those In St. Petersburg being first transformed. The overhead troi ley syhtem will be adopted, the com pany having found It more sueevs.srul In the operation of Its American lines than tho so-called third-rail system.
