TEN THOUSAND SUFFERING.
Very Serious Outlook for In diana
Miners


Miners.
BRAZIL. Ind, Dec. 13.-Dismal in
deed must be the Christmastide of the
thousands who depend for a livelihood
on employment in the Indiana coal
fields, for the bitter fact has
to be faced that hunger and
misery tenant the wretched huts in
which the striking miners and their
families are huddIed together. The cry
of the baTOn5 is. mo surrender" and
the men, although almost in a starving
condition, are determined to keep on
fighting. 1t is an absolute fact
that the strikers and their fam
lilies have been for the last two
weeks trying to keep soul and body to-
gether on one meal day, and that a
very Scant one. This is true of close on
10000 men, women and children who
are affected by the strike. At Harmony,
Clay City. Lodi. WatsOnbIock, Perth
Carbon, and Knightsyile the scenes
which confront one are pathetic in the
extreme. Yesterday an appeal was is
sued to the miners of the country,
signed by the national executive board
OF the Coal Miners Association of the
United States, asking every miner to
tax himself not less than 25 cents
week for the relief of the strikers.
Every local secretary in the United
States is directed to call a meeting in
his district at once in order that the
fund may be started without delay.

Among the early settlers in st. Paul
was Mr.. Rudolph Avd. The ranks of
the hardy band OF pioneers have of late

Why American Girls Take For
eign Husbands


PARIS, Dec. 13.-Miss Mitchell. .daueh-
ter of Senator Mitchell, of Oregon. saws
that her marriage to the Duke de la
RochefoucaId will probably take place
in February.
Several prominent English and Amer
lean lawyers have recently been inter
viewed here on the subject of interna-
tional marriages. Henry Cachard,
representing Coudert Brothers, OF New
York, said: The general opinion that
such marriages are merely exchanges of
money for social position is quite a mis-
take. Although unions do sometimes
originate in selfish motives, they are
mostly due TO affection. The fact that
the ladies keep control of their money,
and that often the men have more prop
erty than their wives. goes far to prove
this. Such marriages have generally
turned out happily"
One of the legal advisers of the United
States consulate said: ''In the majority
OF cases the fortunes of American ladies
are in trust, and so tied up that the in
comes alone can be touched. Marriage
with such women, therefore, will
scarcely be bait to men whose sole
objedt is money. Ladies are to a GER
tain degree attracted by the glitter of a
eOronet."
One of the legal advisers of the
United States legation said: 81 think
that If the American girl whose notions
of matrimony have been formed at home
expects French husband to act up to
her ideals, she is likely to be disap-
pointed. But if she understands foreign
views of marriage and accepts hus-
band knowing these opinions, she is
generally happy in her married life.
The fact that most American ladies. be-
fore contracting unions with foreigners,
have travelled in Europe and got di-

these matters accounts for the greater

SALTWATER NEWS.
A misunderstanding in the Paro-
chiaI Public School Row.

A st. Paul morning paper published
an item from Saltwater yesterday to
the effect that an injunction would be
served on the board of education today,
restraining its members from carrying
out their contract existing between the
board of education and members of ST.
MlchaePS parish, relative to the lease
OF the parOehial school ana the employ
ment of Sisters of Charity as teachers.
A GLOBE representative called on
several Of the Protestant clergymen of
this city yesterday, who it was said
were responsible for the injunction, and
none of them knew anything in regard
to the matter further than that the ad-
visibility OF pursuing such course had
been discussed. but as far as they
knew nothing definite had been decid-
ed upOn.' Several members of the
board of education were also
seen, but all were ignorant of any con-
templated Injunction proceedings.
Many influential residents of Saltwater
are strongly opposed to the action taken
by some of the Protestant clergymen to
settle this matter of public parochial
schools. which has caused a great deal
OF talk during the past two months.
They feel that the proper action would
nave been to leave the matter as it is
until the courts decide as to the legality
of the deal. Much ill-feeIing has been
ehgendered, with no apparent good
effects.
Joe Dupuis, young Frenchman re-
riding on the North hill. just north of
the state prison, fell or ieaped from
third-stOry window to the ground shortly
after dinner yesterday, and was seri-
OuSly injured internally. 1t is said that
Dupuis' domestic relations are not of
the pleasantest, and when he returned
home yesterday after trip down
town he began abusing his
wife, who left the house. He was in
tOXicated, and he refuses to tell whether
he jumped or fell from the window,
which is fully thirty feet from the
ground. Dr. Legault, who was sum-
mOned to attend him, stated that it was
impossible as yet to state whether or
not he would recover. Dupuies is about
twenty years of aye, and has been mar
rled less than a year.

The idea of Saltwater again having

meet with much encouragement from
residents of this city. Saltwater would
have nothing but a tirst-class team if it
entered state league as proposed, and
such a team would not meet with the
necessary support. People who pat
roniZe base bail games are employed
during rhe week. and Sunday would be
the only day that paying crowds could
