His speech worked q revolution in
the feelings of the men, and before
he had proceeded far, was frequently
interrupted by hearty cheers. Mr..
Hosier detailed the proceeding of the
conference and assured the men that
President Wilbur had received the

them with courtesy, and
consideration; he said members of the
committee who had known of the VIII

and published reports, were pleased
and surprised.
"Mr. Wilbur" he said, while he
would not agree to reinstate all old

them that large majority could be

A SHORT.LlvEO ROMANCE.
An EIoping Couple Separated
by the Parents of the
Groom.

HUNTINGTON, Ind. December B
Mrs. Roy Gibler, who was formerly
Miss Hattie Zell, arrived home here
with her father, John Zell, from
Denver. Colorado, this morning.
Some weeks ago she eloped with Roy
Gibler, the l9-year-old son Of John
Gibler, one of the wealthiest men in
this city and a banker. A few days
ago her father received a message
from the girl stating that Gibler had
left her in Denver and asking for
money to come home. Instead of
sending money Zell went to Denver
and brought her back with him. She
said to your correspondent today that
she and Gibler went to Toledo and
then to Grand Rapids, Mich., where
they we're married. Then they went
to Milwaukee, Chicago and Denver.
1t WAS in the latter place their
trouble arose. Mrs. Gibler said:
1--WE stayed at the Union hotel for
Sme time. and were content and
happy. We intended to stay in
Denver, 50 We rented a couple Of
rooms and began housekeeping. We
we're getting along nicely until q week
ago Monday, when Roy's father sr-
rived in Denver. He made inquiries
at the police headquarters and stated
his object. He saw Roy on the street.
Roy came home to me and | noticed
he WAS all worked up over something

he said no. He went away again

PARALYZED THE CROWD.
Playing Base Ball With Twenty
Quart Can of Nitro-Glycerine.

81 started to tell you," said Andy to a
New York Recorder correspondent,
"about the game of ball us boys played
with glycerine cans in Hank JohnsoD's
saloon in Cole Creek in 'S1 one night,
when that town was built up in week,
had 5000 inhabitants, and was booming
at pithole gait.
cit was the night before they hung
the young lawyer, Tracy, for shooting his
sweetheart in Smithport. Us boys had
gathered in Hanks. around the fire in
the barroom, and it was right chilly
outside, too.
1--WE were talking over the way Tracy
was acting-a good many said he was
crazy, you know, and am certain of it
as 1Oony as ever Guiteau was. A
dozen cans of glycerine were standing
near the fire to get thawed out, for we
had some mOoniighting to do that night.
All at once the door was thrown
open and in stalked Black Tom. the ter
ror of the oil regions and the slickeSt
rascal that ever lived North or South.
Yet he was not bully, and mild
hammered man he was, too, when he
wasn't in liquor" said Andy, reflect
lively, "and | don't know that ever saw
him much III liquor either. But he act
ed haIf-full then, l thought, by the way
he shook his long, black whlskers that
gave him his name as he went up to the
bar and sang out:
"'Set 'em up for the buffers, Hank,
and be quick abokt it!'
ave all drank with alacrity-that is,
all but me. hadn't touched the stuff
then for five months, but l took soda,
with dash Of peppersauce. Then ]
aw that Black Tom was in towering
age, and | suspscte the cause. There
had been big burglary committed at
Col. j. j. Carter's house, in Titusville,
the night before, and Tom was lodging.
1t was never found that he had hand
in it, though, for he got clear.
"'Goin' to do some shootin', eh?' said
Tom. looking at the glycerine wickedly.
I say, Hank he had grudge against
Hank Johnson from way back i say,
see how good " be on the catchn
"And Pm darned if Tom didn't pick
up twenty-quart can (he was giant,
you know and toss it to Hank as if it
had been hand ball. Before that can
reached him Hanks face blanched to
dead white. and involuntarily he put up
bis hands to ward off the can, and
caught it-actually caught it between
his two hands.
"What happened then? The usual
thing when people are paralyzed with
terror. Hank turned around like a
fash and set that can down as gently as
if it had been teething baby. Then
he made one dive for the back entrance
and went through. The rest of the
party-all but me-fell over each other
in getting out the front door in grand
rush. Gs
"'The average oil region duck is
FOOL said Tom, grinnlng, as he helped
himself to another drink, which he
swallowed at guIp, and grabbed some
money out of the cash drawer. 'I've
got to have $50 to get out of the coun-
try, and know Hank never would give
up. When he gets over his scare tell
him took it, but he shall have it back
as soon as am safe out Of this. Dye

NEW SHOES.
Many Pretty Styles in Vogue for
Spring Wear.


Spring Wear.
Narrow-pOinted toes are still favored
by fashionable women, the Piccadilly
being the last exponent of this fashion,
both high and low shoes showing this
style. The Butcher is another popular
shape, but not so decidedly pointed as
the Piccadily. To be comfortable one
must select a size, or at least half-siZe,
larger than that usually worn.
The lOng-vamped button boot. with
perforated patent-leather tip, is the ac-
cepted style for walking or carriage
wear. For the former the medium heel
is used.
Some of the new ties are laced or but
toned high up on the lnStep; the Tuxedo
is of this variety. The Cleopatra is an
extremely dresSy tie, the toe and high
pointed Yamp being of patent leather.
Ii is held on the inStep by a bow of
gros grain ribbon and buckle of old
silver or RhinestOnes.
Suede shoes are attractive, but far
from economical, as this leather easily
stretches out of shape; however, for
dressy shoe, nothing really takes its
place. Tan and gray are best, because
they can be worn with any costume.
With the rage for matching there is a
demand for ties and slippers of colored
suede, it being dyed TO match any COS
tune. Satin slippers are again used for
dancing.
The slipper with high-pointed flap
over the instep completes with the low
opera toe. Many of them are orna-
mented with chou or large rosette of
lace or ribbon; black lace chouX deco
rate yellow, pink and red slippers.
The Romeo house shoe is elegant
with artistic tea gowns. 1t is made of
kid or suede. and is the counterpart of
the medieval shoe worn on the stage; it
comes up on the back and front of the
| leg, and is deeply cleft down each side;
in some instances elastic is introduced
halfway up the sides, so that it is avail
able for walking shoe.
The fasteners have become an object
of luxury: they are usually made of
| silver, or of silver combined with dark
blue enamel; for evening, pale colored
| enameled fasteners are used. Even
| gold ones set with turquoise, coral, or

room ties.

Artistic Waists.

1t Is one of the most hopeful signs of
the future that the waist of the average
woman is growing much larger. There
has been not a little speculation as to
the reason, but it would be a much
more fertile field of debate, the question
why they should not grow larger, says
the New York Ledger.
With physical culture, Delsarte, ten
mis- and advanced ideas In diet and
hygiene, the woman of the present day
is far ahead of the woman OF a half
century ago. She is emancipating
herself and getting out of all narrow
ness, physically and mentally. 1t is
not too much to say that, with physical
improvement, mental gain is sure to
follow with great rapidity; and once let
the idea take firm hold of the minds or
the sisterhood that they may grow and
advance, improve and take their position
i'll the front rank of the worlds work
ers, and it will take stronger force than
tradition, Wha,ebone and buckram to
cODstrain their powers. 1t has been
said, and with great show of reason,
that women will never be at their best
until they have grown out of the con-
stricting bands of fashionable costume.
Once freed from such narrow environ
find room for development.
It's curious fact that most generous
spirited, Predetermined women have
fair-siZed waists. Those with dispro-
portionately small waists, hands and
feet are apt to be narrow minded, parSi-
monious and uncharltable to very
marked degree. Nature rarely makes
mistakes. and other things being equal,
she is not likely to put a number seven
temperament into number three
shoes, number five gloves and
nlneteen-inch waist measure. If the
clay tenement is of the average height
of well-developed womanhood the close
student of human nature will never be
captivated by extreme smallness of the
extremitieS or a cramped-in figure. They
are an unfailing index. and one in which
no sensible woman should feel any de-
gree OF pride.

WONIEN's WAGES.
Reasons Why They Are Kept
Down AnRlyzed.

In pursuit Of a livelihood, says Miss
Clare de Gratfenried in the March
Forum, the hope or ultimate intention
to marry is drawback to woman's sue
cess. She enters any vocation half
heartedy, not as life career, but as a
temporary stop-gap. Abandoning her
trade for marriage, years afterward, per-
haps, she returns to it an Invalid and
with dependents, her hand robbed OF its
cunning, and she must take her place
at the bottom OF the ladder. Econom-
ically, indeed. she Is yet an industrial
makeshiGt, rarely diSplaclng man eX-
ccpt at half his pay. Again, being un-
organized, women caunOt fight. Such
trades unions as dare form are, for want
of leadership, scotched by hard-hltting
manufacturers at one blow, few aSSocia-
tons surviving one formal complaint or
strike. Shoe and tobacco unions have
obtained substantial results in shorten
ing hours and raising pay. Some lOcali-
ties and Industries need no unions; but
trade workers cooperating for defense
here, as in England. might achieve
enormous benefits for female wage
earnerS.
