STRIKE BREAKERS RICH
TWO MEN WHO HAVE MADE FOR
TUNE AT GAME.
"Jim” Farley Has Country Home and
Wall Street Would Honor His
Check for $100,000 — Bow
en Also Rolls in Wealth.
New York.—Strikebreaker “Jim”
t.arlev has made his fortune and is
caving the settled way for a life of
ease He is a horse lover and spends
most of his time at his breeding farm
at piattsburg, N. Y., and makes oc
casional trips to Kentucky in search
of fine stock. Farley is still a strike
breaker, but he has shifted the per
sonally hazardous part of the business
to the hands of trusted lieutenants.
He is a sort of broad strategy all by
himself, is Farley, and he will prob
ably be breaking strikes until he dies.
Farley is rich enough to maintain a
suite of rooms at the Hotel Astor, on
upper Broadway, in addition to his
country home at Piattsburg, N. Y. His
check is good in Wall street any day
In the week for $100,000. August Bel
mont is quoted as saying that Farley
is a born soldier and capable of mas
terfully handling an army of 150,000 in
the field of action.
Harry H. Bowen, strikebreaker, has
made his thousands by fighting all
over the country for corporations
against unions. He served the Beef
Trust in Chicago; his recent campaign
against the warring longshoremen on
the docks of New York netted him a
tidy fortune. Bowen faced shots in
the famous collar and cuff strike at
Troy.
Like Farley, he has a beautiful
country home. It is on the Jersey
Highlands, and his city apartments on
Central Park West are as luxuriously
fitted out as those of a multi-million
aire. He owns tenement houses in
New York and Brooklyn.
Farley and Bowen hold special in
surance policies on their lives for
$100,000 each.
Strike breaking has become to
chiefs of corporations a recognized
business and they are in constant
touch with men like Farley and Bow
en. Railroads, street car companies,
machine works and institutions em
ploying large bodies of workmen keep
strike-breaker bosses on the pay-roll
even in time of peace. The instant
the suggestion of a strike is made the
strike breaker boss is notified and
sends his secret agents among the
dissatisfied workmen. Then he be
gins to enlist men capable of working
at this particular trade and holds them
in readiness for a call. They are un
der pay while waiting orders.
The handling of strikes is not
planned in the offices of the corpora
tion. Farley and Bowen each have
offices in big huildings on upper Broad
way.
The profits of Farley and Bowen
come mainly from the increased wage
paid per man furnished to break the
strike. For instance, when the sub
way tie-up began twenty months ago,
the motorman’s pay was $3.25 a day,
and the guards and train hands got
from $1.75 to $2.25 a day. While
breaking the strike Farley received
$5 a day for each man he furnished,
in addition to $1,000 a day for person
ally supervising and commanding the
strikebreaking force. He pays his
men $2.50 a day. In less than twenty
four hours after the strike had been
r
(Strike-Breaker Who Has Made a
Fortune in the Business.)
declared Farley had 500 men at work
at an average pay of $5 a day.
A Wall street man whose insight
into the workings of big railroads and
car lines is unquestioned says Farley
made $130,000 clear profit breaking
the subway strike.
Farley got into the strike-breaking
business in a peculiar way. He ran a
small hotel at Plattsburg and while ill
with typhoid fever he wandered off in
a delirium and got rid of all his mon
ey. When he recovered he found him
self in Brooklyn, broke, while the B.
R. T. strike was on. He got a job as
a motorman and that suggested his
present occupation. He has since
broken strikes in Chicago, Cincinnati,
San Francisco, Waterbury and many
other cities.
COACH WASHINGTON RODE IN.

SENATOR MAY BE PROSECUTED.
H. A. Dupont Figures in Case Against
Powder Companies.
~ Washington.—Senator-Henry Al
gernon Dupont, who may be subject
ed to a criminal prosecution if the gov
ernment wins its case against the
powder combine, was elected United
States senator from Maryland in 1906.
He has long been connected with the
powder company, but is supposed to
have sold his holdings after his elec
tion to the senate. Mr. Dupont was
born in 1838 and was educatetd in the
University of Pennsylvania and the
United States military academy. From
the latter institution he was gradu

ated at the head of his class in 1861,
and he took an active part in the civil
war, being breveted lieutenant colonel
in 1S64 for distinguished services, be
sides being awarded a congressional
medal. In 1875 he resigned from the
army, and for a time was president of
the Wilmington & Northern railroad.
IDENTIFYING "U. S." ANIMALS.
System of Branding Authorized by
the Army Regulations.
Whenever you see Ihe letters “U.
S-” branded on the left fore shoulder
of an animal make up your mind at
once that that beast is or was at one
lime the property of our rich old
“Uncle Sam,’’ says the Washington
Post.
Then, again, if you know the key
to the system of branding utilized
by the quartermaster’s department,
U. S. A., you would in a moment be
able to tell the organization of the
army to which that animal was as
signed immediately after purchase by
the government.
Last October, when the army ot
Cuban pacification was being em
barked from Xewport News, Va., many
of the army horses and mules await
ing shipment became mixed with
those of other organizations, but it
only needed the knowledge of Sergt.
Casey to decipher the hoof brands and
dispatch the animals to their proper
organizations. In other words, these
brands serve as “identification tags.”
Branding public animals is not a
matter of choice, but is provided for
by the army regulations, which directs
that “public animals shall, upon the
day received, be branded with the let
ters ‘U. S.’ on the left fore shoulder.
Horses assigned to organizations will
also be branded on the hoof of one
forefoot, one and one-half inches be
low the cronet, with the designation
of the company. Branding irons of
uniform size and design will be sup
plied by the quartermaster's depart
ment. Letters ‘U. S.’ to be two inches
in height. Letters and numbers of
hoof brands on the same line to be
three-fourths of an inch high, the let
ter to precede the number, and blocked
so as to penetrate the hoof one-six
teenth of an inch. For example, the
hoof brands on horses assigned to
band, Ninth cavalry, would be CL19;
to troop A, Fifth cavalry, would be
A5; to Company A, battalion of en
gineers, would be BEA.”
Jewel for Child Heroine.
Ethel Johnson, a child heroine of
the Columbia disaster, has received a
magnificent butterfly of gold and dia
monds from an unknown admirer, ac
cord to a Portland correspondent of
the Seattle Times.
It was taken to the home of R. R.
Dingle, where the little girl is stop
ping, on Saturday by a jewelry store
employe. There was no note of ex
planation, no signature, telling who
was the sender of so magnificent a
gift, merely the words, “From a Port
land admirer.”
Little Ethel Johnson saved two lives
in the Columbia disaster. She rescued
her child companion, Effie Gordon, and
held her above water until taken
aboard a life boat.
While struggling with her compan
ion a man who could scarcely swim
was also saved by her. He seized hold
upon her and was also held above the
water by her childish efforts. Perhaps
this man sent the present.
John Knox, Prophet.
John Knox, the reformer, would
seem to have possessed in no ordinary
degree the spirit of prediction and to
have foretold with accuracy not only
certain remarkable events of public
importance, but also the ultimate fate
of certain individuals. Thus when con
demned to the galleys at Mochelle he
took his sentence with the greatest
composure, merely remarking that in
spite of it he would “within two or
three years, preach the Gospel in St.
Giles’, Edinburgh.” This prediction,
most improbable of accomplishment
at the time it was uttered, was after
wards literally fulfilled. Knox predict
ed with accuracy the deaths of
Thomas Maitland and Kirkcaldy of
Grange, and solemnly warned the re
gent, Murray, not to go on to Linlith
gow, as if he did so he would there
meet his death. The regent disregard
ed the warning and did meet with the
fate of which Knox had forewarned
him.—Exchange.
Hydraulic Lifeboats.
Several of these craft are now In
service in the United States. The
propelling agents are jets of watea
driven out by a powerful steam pump
through nozzles under water.
The nozzles can be made to drive
the boat forward or backward, or turn
it, the boat, of course, being driven
by the reaction in the direction oppo
site to that of the escaping water.
A speed of 100 miles an hour was re
cently maintained in New York har
bor in a trial trip.
Hydraulic lifeboats are not econom
ical; their strong point is the ab
sence of any external paddle wheels or
propellers, which are so liable to be
come fouled by wreckage. The boat
has projecting guards, which protect
the nozzles from striking against slips
or docks.
A Delicate Distinction.
Manager—I thought you wrote me
you had a full house at Had Dog in
Arizona.
Business Manager—So we did.
Manager—Why, our star tells me
there were only about 25 people in the
place and every man Jack was drunk.
Business Manager (gently)—Well?
I didn't say we had the house full; I
said we had a full house.
The Author's New Home.
“Like your new house?”
“It’s fine.”
“There are six houses in the row,
t believe?”
“Yes. mine is the last one.”
“Good cellar?”
“One of the six best cellara.”
Evil of ripping System.
Although there is a great effort made
to keep secret the thefts in hotels and
restaurants in New York, it is quite
evident they are on a rapid increase.
The manager of a large restaurant
says the system of having servants
depend almost entirely upon patrons
for their pay lowers their moral stan
dard and causes them to look on those
they are supposed to serve as their
legitimate prey.
"It Knocks the Itch.”
It may not cure all your ills, but it
does cure one of the worst. It cures
any form of itch ever known—no mat
ter what it is called, where the sen
sation is “itch," it knocks it. Eczema,
Ringworm and all the rest are reliev
ed at once and cured by one box. It’s
guaranteed, and its name is Hunt’s
Cure.
A Theory.
“Why do men swear?” asked one
woman.
“It's due to the vanity of the sex,”
answered Miss Cayenne. “They want
to be noticed even when they can’t
think of anything of real importance
to say.”

Physicians Recommend Castoria
/^ASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharma
^ ceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with
results most gratifying. The extended uso of Castoria is unquestionably tho
result of three facts: first—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless:
Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimi
lates the food; _ Third—It, is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil.
It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic
and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman’s Drops, G-odfrey’s
Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, how-'
ever, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day
for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To
our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by
regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to
the information,—Ball’s Journal of Health.

Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher.
Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: “I have prescribed your
Castoria often for infants during my practice, and find it very satisfactory.”
Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: “Your Castoria stands
first iu its class. In my thirty years of practice I can. say I never have
found anything that so filled the place.”
Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: “I have used your Castoria and
found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for
many years. The formula is excellent.”
Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Castoria
extensively, as I have never found anything to equal it for children’s
troubles. I am aware that there are imitations in the field, but I always
see that my patients get Fletcher’s.”
Dr.Wm.J McCrann, of Omaha, Neb., says: “As the father of thirteen
children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside
from my own family experience I have in my years of practice found Cas
toria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home.”
Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Cas
toria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the
presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse
ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and
believe it an excellent remedy.”
Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Mo., says: “Physicians generally do not
prescribe proprietary preparations, but in the case of Castoria my experi
ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught me to make an ex
ception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it
to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physi
cian who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom
mendation of Castoria.”

the whole train of other diseases follow.
