publican party. Being an Alliance

Excuse Yourself GraciousIy.

Every lady has right to refuse her. self to friends when sickness, weariness or some domestic duty makes it difficult, impossible perhaps, to be at the time a gracious and courteous hostess. The message of refusal, however, can be SO worded that no person of any common sense or judgment could feel offended. "Mrs. Brown is engaged" is abrupt and not to be recommended, but there are many ways of making it more gracious. ''Mrs. Brown cannot receive today" is simple, truthful and should offend no one, as, if the maid delivers the message at the door to each and all alike. it is evident that no slight is intended.
 Many ladies now have one day in the week when they are "at home" This arrangement becomes necessary in large cities where ones circle of acquaintances Is extensive and calling is a matter of ceremony. But the fact that a lady sets apart one day to receive friends is no ex- cuse for instructing the maid to tell an untruth to those who for some reason call on another day, but it is a reason why those who call out of season have no right to be offended when they are told that "Mrs. Brown is not receiving" Mrs. Helen 8.

POlSONERS AT HOMESTEAD.
Alleged Attempt of the Strikers to Kill
 Nonunion Men.

Alleged Attempt of the Strikers to Kill
 Nonunion Men.
 PITTsBURG, Dec. 12.-A newspaper here declares that it has discovered conspiracy to poison by wholesale the nonunion men at the Carnegie steel plant in Homestead. The developments made, it is said, impli- cate members of the advisory committee, members of the Amalgamated association and officers of some labor organizations sympathizing with the locked out men at Homestead. As a result of this conspiracy 1t is alleged that several persons have lost their lives, while scores of others are still suffering at their homes and in hospitals from the effects of poisonous drugs admin istered to them with criminal intent. Nine or more persons more or less identified with the strike are under arrest ostensibly on less serious charges, it is alleged, but really for the purpose of averting suspicion until all those who are claimed to be in the conspiracy have been secured. The only name given of those charged with admin istering poison is Robert Beatty, who was arrested at Louisville Saturday night.
 E. I. Beck, counsel for the Carnegie Steel company, limited, confirms the story of the poisor 'ng. He says his information is that at least six deaths resulted from poisoning. A Homestead druggist and physician are implicated. The powder was given to dog and it died in a few minutes. A number of arrests will prob ably be made in few days.
 Homestead people cannot yet believe that Dr. McClelland and the other physicians were all deceived in their diagnosis of the prevalent sickness. President Garland, of the Amalgamated association, when asked what he thought of the poisoning charges, said. Absurd, ridiculously absurd; fake, a oiuantic fakeD
