at the big iron gate.
Going out to learn who was seeking
admittance at that hour, he was told
by the men without the gate that they

the necks of Moss, Stewart and Nc
Dowell, and hurried them across
the railroad track to q lonely place in
the outskirts.
The Negroes were then placed to-

over s5 rifle shots rang out, and the
Negroes fell, dying almost instantly.
The mob then quickly dispersed and it

Two other Negre rioters are missing
and the belief is that their bodies will
be found late in the day. 1t will be re-

feeling of the majority of his race by
saying: eff these niggers stand this

The inquest was held at 10 a. m. and
the bodies then sent to their homes at
the Curve. At 1915 word reached the

III People DO Not Have the Same Ideas
Respecting Them.
The terms employed by the people of
one nation as the choicest phrases in
their vocabulary of endearment are
often employed for quite the opposite
purpose by other people. One of the
most familiar and most coveted phrases
of endearment among the French, for
instance, is my little pig;" and my
little puppy dog" is also much appre-
ciated.
When French husband calls his wife
a cat" she does not fly into passion
of resentment, as an English-speaking
wife might do under the same circum-
stance, but takes it as gentle compli.
ment
On the other hand, if he were to call
her duck" as the American husband
might his wife, she would be very much
offended.
Not long ago, in Germany, letters
written by the late Count Won Moltke
to his betrothed were published. In
these the great soldier frequently
called the lady my little kernel of
coffee"
This strikes one as very queer pet
name, and has suggested to cynical
authority that, in view of the writer's
character and profession, my little
grain of powder" or my little lump
of Lead would have been more appro-
pirate.
In England ''moppet" and ''mopsey"
are favorite terms of endearment for
little girls and sweethearts. Both of
these words signitied, originally, a
kind of cloth or rag. The name was
first given to rag doll, aud eventu-
ally came to be applied flatteringly to
the little girl who owned the mop.

IDLE MINERS.
The Great Strike Is On In England-other
Industries Harmed

The Great Strike Is On In England-Other
Industries Harmed.
LONDON, March 14.-The great coal
miners strike was inaugurated in ac-
cordance with the plans of the miners
federation, which in its manifesto, issued
a few days ago, declared that the holi-
day the men proposed to take was for
the purpose of clearing the market of
the surface coal and for restricting the
output in order to prevent the masters
from using the low prices as an excuse
for lowering wages.
At 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon the
men employed in the mines in Lam
casbire, Cheshire and Yorkshire stopped
work, and the ponies were removed
from the pit. The only men now at
work are the surface men, bumpers,
ventilator attendants, ETC., whom the
federation has not called out.
Twenty thousand miners in Noting
ham. also quit work at noon. When
they came out of the pits they brought
their tools with them.
The coal stocks in the Bristol district
are already nearly exhausted. The
miners there have also stopped work,
and as result the price of coal has
gone up four shillings ton. Many
manufacturers refuse to pay the price
demanded and have closed their fac
tories. In this respect the action of
the miners is working greatly to the
harm of operatives employed in other
industries One of the results of the
split that has occurred among the North
I -
in Flintshire will not go on a strike,
but will work not more than five days
q week.
In Durham mining work has also
completely stopped.

COLUMBUS, O., March 12.-April II is

est date for adjournment unless the
