headed by Mayor Herr. The relief committee
first called the roll of delegates from the vari-
Gus localities, who reported es to the number of
dependents, which was found to be 5,23l. Then
Mr.. Roberts took the floor and explained TO
the miners that he had been sent by the gov
ernor to get correct report of the condition
OF the miners, and that, II they were In as
much need as they were reported to be the gov
would issue proclamation in their behalf. Mr..
Roberts suggested that committee of citizens.
none of whom were miners, should be ap-
Eointed to receive subscriptions. in order that
the general public should have the fullest con-
fdence in the sincerity of the petition. This
was done, and the following committee was ap-
pointed: Mayor Herr, ex-Aiayor Holiday the
Hon. George A. Knight. Samuel Holden and
Thomas J. Russell. They retired and drew mp
a letter to the governor, setting forth the con-
dition of affairs, and il is expected that the
governor will shortly issue a proclamation in
accordance Herewith.
situation as very bad and commends the miners
10 the charitable consideration of the people of
the state.
This is the most important action yet taken
on behalf of the sufferers, and will be hailed by
them with delight Mr. Roberts left for In
dianspolis shortly after noon. A citizen here,
IN commenting on his visit said: "In Illinois
the governor had to send the militia TO the
scene of the strike. Here all that is necessary
TO adjust affairs is the governors private secre-
tary."
Messrs. Morton and Miller, two of the opera
tors sent TO eastern Ohio and western Pennsyl-
vanis TO solicit aid, have returned, and report
fair success. They visited a number of mines.
not only in the two states named, but also in
West Virginia; but in the latter place they
countered small strike, which, however, they
think will be of short duration. They were
uniformly treated with kindness, and in many
cases meetings of miners were held and it
voted to assess % cents per miner every week
for the aid of the Clay county strikers. Mr..
Morton says that the X. of L. were especially
generous and kind TO himself and companion,
and says he is now more than ever convinced
that if every laboring man in the country
member of that organization, it would be
grand thing for the order. while they are
opposed TO strikes as an order" says he, they
are always generous TO those who are suffering
by them"
The news that Coy. Hovey would probably
issue a proclamation in behalf of the miners
created CONSERVATION among the operators, and
if carried out will arouse fierce criticism. Sew
eral of the operators encountered Secretary
Roberts at the depot as he was leaving for In
dianapolis, and took him to task for not having
called on them. They declared that if the
governor should issue such a proclamation it
would ruin him in Clay county. The matter is
the subject of a great deal of discussion on the
streets tonight. The miners are more hopeful
than any time since the strike began.

BRAZIL, June IA. Especial. - The semi
weekly meeting of the miners relief committee
took place to-day. The number of dependents
has increased to 526S and from the amount of
funds on hand the distribution tomorrow will
be at the rate of cents per head if provisions
are given to all. Miners are leaving the county
all the time, but their families remain here,
and not one out of fifty who 20 away sends
anything home for several days. and sometimes
weeks, il being a mere chance if he finds work.
\ message was received from Private Secy.
Roberts this forenoon, stating that the COVER
nor desired a conference with committee
which was acquainted with the condition of
the miners. Such q committee was immedi-
ly appointed and left at 1 rs for indianapolis.
1t consists of Mayor Herr and ex-Mayor Holli-
day of Brazil, and Joshua Hars6eld and Joseph
Daley miners.
This information from the governor has again
inspired the miners to hope for proclamation
in their behalf.
The efforts of the Indianapolis Journal to di-
vert public attention from the real state of at.
fairs in this county are meeting with severe
condemnation here. Its accounts have been a
manifestly malicious and unfair presentation
of the condition of affairs. The striking miners
are incensed at them, but are fearful of stirring
up party feeling and iniuring their own cause;
hence they have requested every correspondent
who has appeared among them to refrain from
mentioning the subject of politics in treating
the strike. The Journal. however, has shown
itself so determined in its course of forcing this
subject that word Of explanation may appro-
priately be offered. A prominent citizen, in
speaking of the matter here to-day, said; ut
requires no great powers Of discrimination TO
see what the journal is up to. It's sole object
is 70 spoil the effect which the present strike
must necessarily have upon the lsboring classes.

tor Voorhees,. As for the two last named

As for Mr.. McQuade, he has been mine in

satisfaction among the miners of this county.
He is a gentleman in every respect and is not
aspiring to be sheriff that l know OF, but if he
is, there will he no doubt Of his nomination and
election, as the laboring men know a friend

and Owen county. During the campaign,
Byrd promised, in case of election, to work for
the passage OF certain laws Tor the benefit OF
the miners Of the state. The election passed
of, and Mr.. Byrd was successful. he went 70
the legislature with the intention Of fulfilling
his promises and did succeed, with the aid Of
the friends of labor, in getting two bills
through, but the friends Of monopoly, on whose
side Mr.. W. A. W. seems to be, stt lie one OF the
bills, and so were defeated.
ri we, as laboring men, see fit, we have II IN

Laboring With the Governor to Prevent a
Proclamation.
The 2:30 train from Brazil Wednesday
afternoon brought about a dozen prom
inent operators headed by Col. thinner
man. They looked neither to the right
nor left, but made a bee line for Gov.
Hovey's office, where they remained until
the O'Clock train, which bore them back
TO the scene OF trouble. Neither Gov.
Hovey nor the members of the delegation
would talk about the conference, though
the former stated that he should take no
action until he had seen the committee of
the miners, which he expects to-day.
1t is pretty well known what the object
of the operators was in visiting the COVER
nor. They believe that if left alone, star
walton will soon force the miners to return
to work, but that if the governor officially
calls attention to the destitute condition
OF the miners the operators themselves
will be forced to yield because sufficient
aid viii be given the miners to enable
them to hold out Therefore they brought
all their forces to bear to influence the
governor not to take any official action.
To the governor the operators made no
pretense that there was not suffering in
Clay. They knew that Secy. Roberts had
visited that section and they knew what
report, as an honest man, he must make
to the governor. Their sole effort there
fore was to convince the governor that his
action in issuing proclamation
would be but 10 encourage anarchy
and discourage capital" They said this
was merely local fight between the min
ers and themselves, and that they ought
to be allowed to settle it alone without in
reference. In fact, they urged that the
alliance of capital and privation be al
lowed to continue the work of enslaving

BRAZIL Ind, June 13.-[Special. Nothing
came of the meeting of miners called for
Knightsyille this forenoon at which it was
supposed they would discuss the subject of re-
turning to work. This afternoon, however, a
large meeting of miners was held in that place,
at which resolutions were passed denouncing
the indianapolis journal for its action in re-
gard to the strike and pronouncing the Journal
account of the affair as inaccurate and unfair.
The gravity of the situation has been increased
to-day by the action of the men at work in the
two large bituminous mines at Coxyle All
of them, go in number walked out of the
mines to-day and announced that they would
not return TO work until the differences between
the operators and day men aud drivers had
been adjusted. This means a thousand more
dependent people within a short time unless
the new trouble is readily adjusted. II will be
remembered that the bituminous miners en-
tered the big strike May /, but by means of
conference held at Terre Haute two weeks

mines, including those at Coal Bluff and
Clinton locks and that owned by Joe Martin.
At all latter places day hands are paid 81
and the day hands at Coxville accordingly de-
handed the same pay of the Block coal COM
pany. The demand was made Saturday and
was refused and to-day the men quit work
This left the miners with no means of getting
their coal hauled out, and accordingly they
also quit and refused to work if scab drivers
were introduced. The day hands and drivers
number only about twenty, and the miners
proper about one hundred and fifty. In addi-
ton to these the men employed about the min
ing machines used there struck on account of
question of salary.

John Adams, the first Vice President,
was also attired like his chief, entirely from
head to foot in American fabrics. Chancel-
lor Livingston, on the contrary, had i'm
ported his broadcloth suit, like his political
sentiments, from England.
But perhaps the most striking, because
the most beautiful and poeticsl, feature of
the Inauguration of our first President was
the intense enthusiasm manifested by the
women of the country and the city in the
event.
A French emigre, Partisan lady of high
rank, the Countess de Languedoc, was in
New York City at that time, and of course
attended the Inauguration. She never took
her eyes from Washington's face during the
entire ceremony, and from that day onward
vowed there was only one man in the world
worth woman. Another lady from the
even then fourishing town of Boston,
stayed in the streets of New York all the
night before the Inauguration from sheer
lack of accommodations elsewhere, but ex-
pressed herself more than repaid for all her
exposure and fatigue by having seen Wash
ington. Many and many woman would
share her feelings this day. A very large
percentage of those who beheld the insugu-
ration were women.

Fantleroy.
The letter, of which the following is a
copy, yellow with age and worn apart at the
edge OF the folds, is in the possession of
Governor Lee. 1t is missive in which
Washington speaks of love, and it goes to
show what is well known to history, that he
who was ''frst in war. first in peace, first in
the hearts of his countrymen," was not
ladies' favorite. 1t was written when Wash
ington was only 20 years of age.
According to many accounts, this modest
youth made three attempts before he could
get LADY to accept him. It is said that he
in vain addressed Miss Bette Fantleroy,
Miss Mary Cary Amber, and Miss Lucy
Grimes, and finally found success, and hap
piness too, in his courtship of the Widow
Gusts.

and presence, was rather a solemn looking
parsonage, and at the date when Miss
Fantieroy declined his attentions, was long
and lean and red from open-air life and ex-
ercise as a surveyor and Indian hunter.
Whether this letter was to the father or
some other near relative of the girl; whether
Washington ever renewed his suit. as he
wrote he would do, and what became of his
lady love, are all interesting questions

ssWashington's exact height was 6 feet 2
inches in his boots. He was then little
lame from striking hls knee against q tree.
His eve was so gray that it looked almost
white. and he had a troubled look on his
oolorless face. He had piece OF woolen

then.
"Washington's boots were enormous.
They were No. 13. His ordinary walking
shoes were No. II. His hands were large

He was tremendously muscled, and the

1t is a curious fact that though Washing

though he was not in his day without
enemies, there are few caricatures Of him in
existence which were purposely made as

Museum, however, there are numerous we'll
intentioned portraits which assume the air
of caricatures Among these are several
engravings of him habited in a toga and
representing his apotheosis while he is sur

medals also give him a curious appearance.
There are also several curious portraits

Miss Drayer. aged sixteen years, daughter Of
Mr.. VIM. H. Drayer, well known shoe dealer
had been afflicted with Club Foot fourteen
years, causing great distress and annoyance to
herself and family. There was such contrac-
ton of the muscles that she could not straighten
her limb, and although she wore the usual
high heel shoe, it was impossible for her to
bring her heel to the ground when walking.
After suffering on in this condition for four
teen years, she consulted one of the surgeons
of the PolypathIc Surgical Institute, and was
convinced that it was NOT TOO LATE to be
cured. An operation was performed, and the
deformity entirely removed, and although it is
now three years since the operation, her cure
has remained permanent. She walks perfectly,
and has no further use for high heel shoe.
