ment will be made by which the bank

NOR. At aHSeventss it attracted wide
spread attention in Wall street and was

bankers of Boston at a meeting held
this morning in resolving to offer half

CRINOLINE IN PARIS.

Discussing the chances of crinolinc,
the Paris correspondent of the London
Daily News says: "The dressmaking
world is divided ON the subject NJ
Duchet is dead against it, but is in
favor of a modification of the present
fiat skirt which falls behind in the form
of a half-closed fan, and outlines too

the United States was the principal
topic of discussion. 1t was nearly mid
night when a distinguished trio emerged
from the white house and sauntered
down the broad sidewalk to Pennsyl-
vania avenue. In the center was the
president with Postmaster-Ge General Bis
sell on hi right and Secretary Gresham
within easy supporting distance on his
left. All of them were engaged in an
animated talk and failed to notice the
attention which they attracted from a
few other night-owls prowling in the
vicinity of the white house The trio,
gesticulating and talking pretty loud
turned down the boulevard facing the
treasury department on the west and
continued their journey into the white
lot, where they We're swallowed up in
the darkness of midnight. 1t is sur
missed that their conversation related to
impending departmental changes and

COSTS MONEY NOT TO VOTE.
Poll Tax of $3.50 Declared Legal il
Kansas City on Test Case.

Kansas City, Mo, April 24-Judge
Gibson has declared that 3. T. Whipplc

upon every male person over the age
of p who fails to vote at any general

The suit was Il test case and it's out

into the city treasury. According to
the city charter provision all moneys col
lected under it must be devoted to
sanitary purposes. The tax imposed
by the charter is RENTED when it is
shown by the person taxed that he has
voted.
Ever since the new charter went into
effect there has been much discussion
as to the legality of the provision, and
Whipple, who neglected to vote at
! the election last spring, consented to
trst Its validity. Able counsel was
employed to try the case and the sec
ton in question was vigorously attacked
on the ground of unconSitutionality.
Briefs We're submitted and on account
of the large amount at stake its decision
has been eagerly awaited.

THE STRIKE A FIZZLE.
Union Carpenters at the Worlds Fair
All Go Back to Work.

Chicago, April 24-The strike ordered
by the central council of carpenters as
far as it affected the worlds far, Is d
tizzIe. like all the other attempts to de-
Law the work at Jackson Park. Every
carpenter union and non-unlon, EN-
ploved by the exposition company re-
ported for duty today, and nothing was
heard or said about the resolution cali
ing out all the men employed on build
ings where non-union carpenters were
employees, which was adopted at yes
tcrtiay's meeting of the council
At the present time there are about
four hundred carpenters employed by
the exposition company. Possibly nan
of these belong to labor Organizatlns.
When they went TO work this mornnS
no one seemed to have been informed
Of the action taken by the union yes
terdav and all bclittled the idea OF
strike
The men feel that the matter was
satisfactorily settled the last time 1t
came up and expressed nothing but DIS
gust when told that they had been or
dcred out. No official notification was
given to the worlds fair officials and
Exposition Carpenter Ferguson declared
no matter what the pressure
brought to bear by the council not more
than ten men in his entire force would
go out.
Moreover he is in a position to do
the work Of the exposition without he
assistance of union men. The carpell-
ters are far ahead Of the other work
men and applicants for employment
are turned away every hour of the day.
There is no lack of men and carpenters
applying for work are never asked
whether they belong to any labor orSa-
niZation Il take on good men when

don't ask any questions. | don't know
or care how many carpenters working

makes no difference to me. Ii any Is
dissatisfied let him knock off and / can
| fill his place in an hour. There's no
doubt that an entire force could be re-
crlited in Il day. The carpenters cOun-
ell has not notified us of yesterday S
meeting or the action taken. | have
nothing to confer with delegates about
and will not see them if they do come.
They know the ground upon which the
exposition company stands. That is
final, and if they want to strike let
them, but let me say there's no dis
position to go out and the discomfort
is not among the Workmen but amng
carpenters hyho don't do anything but
generate trouble
Exposition officials wouldn't dignity
the reported carpenters strike by dis
clISSing it. Mr.. Bulrnham said he had
heard of no labor trouble and the de-
partmcnt wasn't troubling itself about
any action the union had taken. Mr..
Graham laughed at the idea of another
strike and said neither President CogS-
well, of the carpenters council, nor
President REsSAll, of tie uI ing trades
council, had visited the office of con
struction. He was of the opinion that
they would not seek another conference
with the exposition authorities

SEEKING FOR EVIDENCE.
An Investigation Into the Fox Lake
Poisoning Case.

Fox Lake, Wis, April 24.-District
Attorney Sloan, of Juneau, is here look
ing up evidence in the alleged poisoning
case. The examination set for Wednes-
day. April Is, will be adjourned pending
the result of the analysis of the victims
organs sent to Chicago, and supposed to
contain arsenic.
1t is rumored that the defense will
endeavor to make out a case Of suicide,
but the prosecution is confident of OBJ
tanning evidence to break down such n
theory. It is expected that the inquest
begun at Juneau and adjourned to
await further inquiry, will secure facts
not heretofore reported on which the
prosecution will base its case.
