TALKING UP TO HIS LEVEL.
The Society Buds Mistake in COnvers-
ing With Her Literary Caller.

From the Buffalo Express.
There Is young woman over on the west
side who has been In society but a portion
Of a season. The other evening she was at a
function and she was introduced to a
young man who has had some success in
literature. The bud stood more or less in
awe of him after she learned who he was.
The literary young man much i'm
pressed with the beauty of the bud, and he
asked permission to call. This was given
him. The next day the bud got to think
ing over the function and remembered the
request of the young man. She went to a
girl friend and said to her: Il met Mr..
l. at the ball the other night and he
asked me If he could call on me. l told
him he could. Now. I'm awfully worried
to think what 1 shall talk to him about.
OF course, he's a literary man, and he will
not care to talk society and all that and
really, don't know a single thing l can
converse with him about that WIN interest
him. and 1 do not want Him to go away
bored. What on earth shall 1 talk about
The friend sympathized with her and told
her that she might talk about history or
some such thing Filled with this idea,
the bud went home and boned up on his
tory.
ed. He was ushered into the parlor and
the bud came down in a few minutes.
Good evening" he said.
She bade him good evening.
lawfully hot. isn't it?''
She thought that 1t was.
There was some more conversation in
this original strain, when he suddenly
launched out like this: What a delightful
party that was the other evening, wasn't
1t? / don't know when have enjoyed my
self more. Everything was perfect. There
was no crush. Just enough were there to
make 1t enjoyable. The music was delight
full and the refreshments superb Really,
shall often think Of that ball as one of
the most charming 1 have ever had the
pleasure of attending in Buffalo. l think
that"
During these remarks the bud had wig
gled about nervously on her chair. She
was on the point of interrupting half a
dozeT times, and could refrain no longer.
With fierce little laugh she broke In:
"Oh, yes, but wasn't that sad about Mary
Queen of Scots?'
The literary man gazed at the bud in
blank amaZement. Seeing that he did not
answer her, the bud continued in a theat-
rical manner: They cut off her head, you
know"
The symposium broke up just here and
to this day the literary man thinks the
bud crazy. while the bud hasn't an idea
what to think about the literary man.

Members of the State Relief Commission
Hear Complaints.
ST. PAUL, Sept. 21.-The members of
the state relief commission have re-
turned from Pine City, leaving Hinck-
ley at 9 p. m. The commission re-
manned at Hinckley all day, listening
to the complaints Of dissatisfied ones
and adjudicating the losses of individ-
ual sufferers. Editor Hay asked for
assistance in re-estabishing the Enter
prise office, but the commission
thought it could not afford to do any
thing for Mr.. Hay at this time.
The members are quite well pleased
with the outlook. They believe that Mr..
Hart and Mr.. Howard have both done
their work well, and are deserving Of
great credit. The dissatisfied ones at
Hinckley have been shown that there
has been no unnecessary delay in the
relief work, and are well satisfied with
the explanations given at the confer
ence with the commission. There will
probably be no further trouble at
Hinckley. By next Monday the COM
mission will have SO houses erected,
and as many more one week hence.

SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS.
The State Ticket Composed Entirely of
TilImanites.

Inc StaC0 Itcket composed entirely of
Tillmanites.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Sept. 21.-The state
Democratic convention was called to
order at noon by Senator Iby, chair
man Of the executive committee. Over
300 delegates were present, every
county being represented. A large ma
jority are Tillmanites, only one delega-
tion, that from Charleston, being con-
servative. A new constitution of the
party was adopted, which provides for
a direct primary for every candidate
for any Office from coroner up.
The platform indorses the Ocala plat
form as well as the Chicago platform;
demands the free coinage of silver at a
ratio Of l6 to 1, and indorses the dis,
pensary law as the best solution of the
liquor question.
The Charleston delegation tried hard
to get the convention to come out
squarely on the Democratic platform
and denounce Populism but their efforts
were defeated by an overwhelming
vote. The convention then nominated
John Gary Evans, governor; W. H.
Zimmerman, lieutenant governor; W.
T. G. Bates, treasurer; O. w. Bu-
chanan, attorney general The nom-
inees are all Tillmanites and had no op-
position,

A Large Party Exterminated After Fight
Had Kidnapped a Judge.
ATHENS, Sept. 21.-A most daring
outrage upon the part Of Greek brigands
is reported from Lamia, near the Turk
ish frontier, and at the head of the Gulf
Of Volo. The procureur du roi, a judge
and two secretaries, were returning in
a carriage accompanied by two gen.
darmes, from villages where they had
been collecting information in regard
to brigandage. When the party arrived
within half an hours drive Of
Lamia, they were surrounded
by the Papaky Ritsopulos band
of brigands, who carried off the
procureur and the judge, taking them
to their stronghold on Mount Othrys.
Later the prisoners were allowed to
send word to their friends that the
brigands demanded that no pursuit be
made until ransom was paid. A de-
tachment Of 100 soldiers was sent to at
tack the brigands and in the fight which
followed, the brigands were extermin-
ated, but the procureur du roi was.
killed and the judge mortally wounded.

She Trotted a Mile in 1903 a-4 on the
Galesburg Track.
GALEsBURG, Ills, Sept. 21.-Fifteen
thousand people yelled themselves
hoarse when the great trotting queen
Alix beat the worlds record by coming
under the wire in 2:o32 1t was
noble performance from start to finish,
justifying Williams boast about the
fastness of the track and Jones' asser-
tlons about the ability Of Alix to beat
the worlds record The day was an
ideal one for such an event and the
track was in good condition. It was 5
O'Clock when Alix passed in front of the
grand stand for a little preliminary
work. The start was made in splendid
style, Alix coming as regularly and
Steady as Clock Work,
with head down and her short pointed
ears twitching nervously. Alix was
given the pole with the runner to her
right and trifle behind. When she
approached the wire for the start she
seemed going little slow but she soon
increased her pace. The quarter was
reached in S01a. From that to the half
she seemed to fly, making it in 1:O1A.
The third quarter she increased her
pace trife, making it in 1929. When
she started up the home stretch there
was the greatest excitement. AS she
neared the wire she again seemed to in
crease her marvellous speed and darted
under the wire in 2:O33.

CHILDREN POISONED.

THE PHYSICIANS DISAGREE.
Two Fatalities Result From the Fall
ing Of Platform---Gasoline
Stove Explosions.

OELwE1N, Ia, Sept. Tremendous
excitement prevails in the little village
of Hazleton, about four miles from this
city, on account Of the poisoning of 21
small school children. The first to show
signs of poisoning was soon after recess.
At recess one of the scholars bought two
or three pounds Of cheap mixed candy
part of which was colored green, and
treated the children. Some of the doc
tors think the candy poisoned the
pupils, while others claim it was caused
by the drinking Of water which was
brought from a well that had not been
used for about nine months. 1t is the
opinion of the attending physicians that
most of the children will recover,
though several are in a critical condi.
tiOn.

The Wounded Engineer Thinks 1t Was q
Queer Robbery.
KANSAS City, Sept. 21.-James P,
Wright, an old railroad brakeman who
lives at Fort Madison, Ia., where Engi-
neer Prescott @of the Santa Fe train
which was stopped by train robbers;
near Gorin, Mo-, couple Of nights ago,
was taken after being wounded, was
seen at the New Albany. He had a
long talk with Prescott, he said; shortly
after the battle between the men who
stopped the train and the detectives,
and he says the wounded engineer was
the angriest man he ever saw.
Y ''He told me-" said Wright, ''that
the battle between the supposed train
robbers and the detectives was very
queer, and that he would never
have been wounded if the
detectives had met the men
who stepped on the engine with
well directed shots. Prescott was even
inclined to be sceptical about the at
tempted robbery, and said it was very
strange that the detectives did not kill
some Of the would-be train robbers.
Further than that he said that after he
was shot he pointed out one man who
was standing SO close to the engine that
he could have knocked him down with
lump Of coal, if his arm had not been
rendered useless by his wound, and he
shouted to the detective, why don't
you shoot that fellowe' Then" he said,
"the detectives fired several shots at
the man, and he noticed that the gnn
barrels were all pointed away above a
level with the mans head. =

Case.

Latest Move in q Sensational kidnapping
Case.
P1TTsBURa, Sept. 21.-Mrs. R. M.
Byers, wife Of the millionaire iron
manufacturer of this city, has filed a
sensational petition in court asking for
the custody Of her husband and his
estate. A commissioner was appointed
to take testimony. Mrs. Byers in her
petition tells most sensational story.
She says she has been married % years.
About two years ago B. Shields, an
employe Of A. M. Byers, her brother
in-law, kidnapped her husband and
took him to Chicago, where he was
placed in the custody of DR.. L. w.
Tallman. The latter took Byers to
Duluth and then to st. Paul, where he
was placed in hotel under the charge
Of Eva Dilty, a trained nurse.
Mrs. Byers Locates Him.
Mrs. Byers located her husband on
Aug. 20, 1898. The party, including
Mrs. Byers, then returned to Chicago.
Here, she alleges, morphine was sur
reptitiously administered by DR.. Tall
man, and while she was unconscious
her husband was again carried off.
Byers was then taken from place to
place, generally outside of the United
States, covering altogether about 40, 900
miles. Mrs. Byers spent thousands Of
dollars searching for her husband and
finally located him in Japan. She sent
her agent, Samuel Boyd, for her hus-
band, and they returned to San Fran
cisco. Here they were met by DR.. Tall
man, who
Endeavored to Regain Possession
Of Byers. Finally on July 80, 1894, an
agreement was signed by all the inter-
ested parties to the effect that Byers
should return to Pittsburg without any
interference in the custody Of Boyd.
At St. Joseph Byers was taken from
the train on writ Of habeas corpus,
but at the hearing was remanded into
Boyd's custody. A few hours later,
Mrs. Byers alleges. Fl. B. Shields, Peter
L. Kenny, John Davis and DR.. Tall.
man again kidnapped Byers and took
him to Chicago where trace Of him was
lost. A few days ago Mrs. Byers found
her husband in the Pennsylvania hos.
pital for the insane at Philadelphia and
he is now under her care,

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
The Department Of Labor Has Nearly
Completed Its Investigation Of
the Subject.
AN EXHAUSTIVE SHOWING
On All Labor Troubles Since 1887
The Influence Of Machinery and
Other Matters.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 81 The depart
ment Of labor has about completed its
investigation Of strikes and lockouts
which have occurred since 1887, upon
which it has been engaged for many
months past. This report will not,
however, be published before next
spring. 1t will form an exhaustive
showing of all the labor troubles in the
United States since the date named,
the number of employees involved in
each strike or lockout, the causes Of the
trouble, the loss in wages, ETC., the in
vestigation being covered by about 80
questions.
The Influence of Machinery.
The next subject to be investigated
by the department is the influence of
machinery on labor. Congress has ap-
propriated $4,000 for this, besides au-
thorizing the use of the regular force of
the bureau. The work Of the inquiry
will begin in November. The field
force will be put upon it as fast as they
complete their work on strikes and
lockouts. The statistics Of strikes and

hereafter. The inquiry Of the influence
Of machinery upon labor is a vast and
complex subject and one that is involv-
ing the thought and great interest Of
the department.. The growth Of ma
chinery will be looked into. An elabo-
rate comparison of the cost Of commod-
tiles under the old hand system and
under the machine system will be made.
The relative productiveness Of labor
under the two systems will be shown
and comparisons of wages under the
two systems will be made.
Condition of Women and Children.
Beyond this resolution of congress
calls for an investigation of the modern
industrial condition of women and chill
dren, the wages that are paid them as
compared with men; how far their labor
displaces that of men; the sanitnry con-
ditions under which they labor, and
the provisions for their comfort, etc.
There is no special appropriation made
for this inquiry, and it is expected to be
made out Of the regular funds of the
department.. It will not be entered upon
until after the inquiry into the sinflu-
ence Of machinery on labor is completed,
which is expected to occupy a year or
