NEWS AND GOSSIP FROM ALL OVER THE STATE.
MIR. =. W. HALFoRD AND Mrs HALFORD.
In the various newspaper notices of Mr..
IIalford that have appeared since he became
the private secretary of President Harrison we
never have seen any reference to his wife. Mrs.
IIalford was Maine lady, Miss Fannie NJ.
Armstrong, and her father was fer many years
leading citizen of Winthrop, where She re-
sided during her girhood days.
Mrs. iIalford was educated ut the Maine
Wesleyan Seminary and Female College at
Kent's Hill, and was the chum and claS>mate
of Miss Mary c. Perry, the daughter of Gen
era j. j. Perry of Portland.
After leaving school her father. in hopes to
regain his failing health, moved West and his
daughter went with him, where She Subse-
quentIy became the wife Of Mr.. lialford. Mrs.
ialford is a talented, genial lady, Of fine per
sonal accomplishments. and possesses great
energy of character; and it is no disparage-
ment to her husband to say that much of his
success in life has been due to the efficient aid
rendered him by his devoted wife.
This is but another evidence Of the fact that
Maine girls, as we'll as Maine boys, are found
all over the country occupying high and honor
able positions in society, rejecting great credit
not only upon themselves but their native

AGAINST REPUBLICANS.
An Appeal Issued by a Committee Of
Colored Democrats.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 1.-The executivs
committee Of the democratic colored state
league yesterday issued an address 70 the coll
ored voters Of Pennsylvania. 1t says the
colored man has not received the recognition
from the republican party that is deserved
in return for his loyal partizanship.
1t adds: "We have been cajoled with
promises and have seen others reap the re-
ward of our labors. A foreigner entering our
Legislative halls would never know that Penn
sylv.nia contained upward Of l00, 900 negroes.
The doors of the factories and manufacturing
industries, owned and controlled chiefly BY
republicans in Pennsylvania have been tightly
barred against us and yet thrown open TO
foreigners"
The address appeals TO colored voters TO cast
their ballots for the democratic candidate for
state treasurer. In conclusion the address
says: I'VE deplore the condition Of our people
in the south and counsel them TO
ameliorate their condition by allying
themselves with the people OF their section of
the country, with whom their interests should
be idential, other than stir up strife by sdher-
ing to the republican party, which either is un-
willing or unable 70 give them the protection
guaranteed by constitutional enactment 10 al
citizens.

UNWILLING THE GRANT STATUE

HOW THE STRIKE WAS ENDED.
Three Things That Helped the Dockers
to Gain Victory.

Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
LONDON, Sept 14.-The strike ia now all but
over. The formal settlement waits only for
the concurrence Of the Surrey commercial
dock company and the lightermen, as the
joint dock committee refuses to sign the agree
ment until every interest involved agrees and
simultaneous resumption Of work all along
the line is thus secured. The Surrey company
and the lightermen are expected to settle to-
day. The lockers will thus gain all their
demands, except that the increased pay is to
wait till November.
THE STRIKERS WERE HELPED.
The dock directors began by declaring all
these demands impossible. Their defeat has
been due mainly to three things, first, the self
control Of the strikers. The directors counted
on violence and police interfering to end the
strike. Secondly, financial aid obtained by the
strikers. The Australian subsidies were espe-
cially unexpected. Even now the strikers have
ample ,t funds ,S on hand hand Thirdly, public
denced by the Intervention of Cardinal
Manning, the lord mayor and the bishop of
London. Then it may be asked why the strikers
consented to wait till November for the better
pay. The answer is that the strike was begin
were enough to keep them alive, but not TO
feed the woman and children. Burns indi-
rectly admitted this when he said yesterday
they had the directors down, but for the sake
OF their wives and children should forbear
jumping on their chest.
THE CARDINAL AND THE LORD MAYOR.
The credit for terminating the strike is due
to Cardinal Manning and the lord mayor. Car
dinal Manning, in spite of his eighty years, has
been indefatigable and has been on the spot
throughout. The lord mayor, as a business
man, has carried great weight with the direct
ors. His great contribution to the settlement
has been in getting the strikers to see
the unfairness OF expecting the directors
to revise rates Immediately when they
have outstanding contracts ON the old scale. i
have just left the lord mayor. He tells me
that he suggested December to the dockers
and November to the directors, hoping as has
actually happened, that some mean between
the two dates would be accepted.
