that has always been considered
woman's greatest charm, must give
way to shrlll and high-pitched tones
that are the reverse of musical.
The latest freak of fashion in London
is levelcd At the voice, and those DANES
who were won't to carry on their con-
versation in the sweet and low tones
that we have always thought the most
peculiarly charming of all the English
womsn's characteristics now indulge
in an exaggerated imitation OF the
American voice, devoid, however. OF
the quaint msnnersms and witty tongue

The American voice without the
American originality in word painting

strives t. alter her tones must likewise

IN order to successfully acquire the
peculiar charm of the American voice.

pEnPsEY,s CONyICrIoN

By the conviction of Hugh Dempsey,
charged with causing poison to be ad-
mInistered to non-union workmen In
the Carnegie mills At Homestead an
other severe lesson has been taught the
disciples Of force in labor troubles.
The evidence. conflicting - to details.
but satisfactory to the jury, disclosed
that Dempsey hired two cooks, Gala
gner and Griffin, to put poison In the
food Of the mill men. Further evil
dence tended to show that the cooks
did put croton oil and "dope" in the
food and indubitable proof Was made
that the men who psrtook of the food
sickened and some of them died. On
this evidence the jury retired, after
hearing an impartial charge from the
Judge. 1t returned with its verdict.
after four hours consideration of the
facts. There Is just q bare possibility
that the testimony of Gallagher and
Griffin was prejudIced to carry out
conspiracy said To have been formed
10 PUNISH ali persons IN any manner
connected with the Homestead rot.
Even If this were true labor has re-
ceIved blow, not more unmerited
than the blow struck at the beginning
of the difficulty. The most unjust
feature connected with the trial of
Dempsey was the manner of calling
the jury. /: was kings jury, IN the
selection of which he had no choice,
being compelled TO stand trial before q
body Of men selected and accep ted by
the prosecution With such q dIssi-
vantage he bad little grounds for hope
that the result would be- other than IA
recorded. In hls conviction labor can
assert It's dignity by refusing to sym
pathizs with q man, who through mis-
guided zeal sought to poison men
whose only offense ia that they work
to keep the wolf from the door against
the wishes OF those who need to work
but dare not.

Dentists Secrets.

A long chapter of dentists secrets

society young lady swore several lines
of blank spaces while tooth was being
drawn. A burglar taken from Jail to
have tooth pulled confessed all the de-
tails of his crime when under the in.
fuence" and parted with 10 years of
liberty. Occasionally men want to fight
and are very strong; others are jolly and
confidential
The most interesting story of the series
is this, told by one dentist of another:
Il know of a young dentist who was
head over heels in love with a pretty
girl, but he could never make any head
way with her. He was bashful. That
was the main trouble. One day she
came to him to have tooth pulled. H.
administered gas, and before she revived
she let enough drop to assure my friend
that if he proposed he Wouldn't be re-
jected. She is his wife today. and if il
had not been for the gas don't suppose
the wedding would ever have come off"
