The scene OF the cyclone is a hard one to
describe Houses. fences, trees and OBJ
structions of all kinds in the path Of the
storm have been carried away and. moth
ing is left to mark the spot where they
stood except huge holes in the ground.

irregular, southeasterly course, the great

The building in which were Daniel Bar
rett, his wife and their two granddaugh-
ters. Myrtia and Martha Dase, is so COM
pletly demolished that not even a portion
Of the foundation is left. The first rem

from where it stood.
Mrs. Barrett, who was the worst man
gled was carried over a quarter Of a mile
and dropped in cemetery, her dismem-
bered limbs being found about one hun
dred yards farther on. Daniel Barrett was
carried about forty rods from where the
cyclone struck him, His hand WAS torn
off at the wrist and scattered to the winds.
One leg was beaten into pulp, and he suf'
fered internal injuries. He was still
breathing when found, but died soon af
terward without becoming conscious.
Martha and Myrtia Dase, who were In
another part of the house, were left near

cents He said that, in view OF the pres
ent depression and the strained condition
Of manufacturing interests, the operators
could not concede the advance asked.
President Mcbride was the first speaker
for the miners He said he was willing to
have vote taken on the compromise Of
fered by the operators; but he would
guarantee that the miners would be
unanimous against 1t. Continuing, he
said "As native born citizen l blush to
think that the business interests are
builded upon the starvation and degrad-
ing wages paid the laborers at present,
We want you to give living wages and in
crease the price of your coal 30 you can
get fair profit There can be no com
promise along the lines of starvation
wages. The miners make no threats, but
they stand together peaceably, earnestly
and determined as ever, and will go on so
finishing the present fight and prepared
for future fights"
Following President Mcbride, F. L.
Robbins, of Pennsylvania, secured the
floor and made q strong address for the
operators
Vice President Penna, of the miners
association, then took the floor and spoke
in their behalf, making an able argument
to show that the operators were in po-
sition to pay living wages now as at any
time In the past
When the conference reassemb bled In ths
afternoon the speechmaking was contin-
ued, Mr.. Chapman, Of Pittsburg, speak
| ing for the operators, and Patrick Mo
Bryde and John Cairns for the miners
| Then President Mcbride, of the miners
union, asked the operators and spec ta-
tors to retire from the hall In order tina {
the miners might hold conference. This
was done, and a conference lasting an
hour was held.
At its conclusion President Mcbride of.
iered resolution reciting that, whereas a
large number OF operators who had re-
| fused to attend tho conference had re-
| fused the hand Of reconciliation and peace
which had been extended to them, the
| miners believed that any settlement ar
| rived at in the absence of these operators
would only add to and accentuate the
| miserable condition of the miners, and
| that it was impossible to make any settle
| ment with the operators who had met
| them there While appreciating the of
| forts of the operators who had attended
| the conference to reach a settlement, the
| miners asked their cooperation in bring
ing peaceable and persuasive measures tc
bear upon the absent operators to induce
them to agree to treat with the miners,
These resolutions were offered to the
conference as expressing the views of the
| miners and as there seemed to be nothing
more to do the conference adjourned sine
die.
The coal operators met last night ant
adopted a statement of their standing Il
declares that the operators of Ohio and
Pennsylvania responded to the invitation
to consult with the mine workers in good
faith, and did all in their power, undel
the present trade conditions, to effect q
settlement Of the strike, but that the mine
workers, in secret session, refused to agreS
upon any terms whatever, and ended th'
conference on the ground that the Illinois
operators were not present.

Women in England,

As late as forty years ago an English
married woman was, financially speak
ing, the mere chattel of her husband.
She had not the right to control her
own income, If she had one. or even to
enjoy her own earnings, if she earned
anything. She might have a worthless,
drunken, brutal husband. who, after ill
treating her for years, might turn UP
again some evil morning from Norway
or Nicaragua or Newgate and break up
the home she had formed for herself and
her children during his absence, seize
and squander what money she had
scraped together, sell her furniture and
then abscond again for an indefinite
period
If she had riches, her wealth could not
be secured to her without cumbrous and
costly legal settlements, while a dissi-
from her every penny Of interest accru-
ing from her capital. There was no
cheap or expeditions law of divorce which
could free her from the matrimonial tie
when her life had become intolerable
through the cruelty or infidelity of her
husband. She had first to go to the
ecclesiastical courts to get divorce from
bed and board. and next private act Of
parliament had to be procured before the
conjugal shackles could be dissolved. To
get a divorce was like walking over
broken bottles-you bled at every step.
The cheapest divorces cost f1,00O.-Boston

Orerfed Children.

Many young children suffer from over
feeding. Mothers. eager for their babies
to become fat or fearful that their cry
ing may be from hunger. unwittingly
feed them too often.
A child of three months was recently
brought to a physician because it suf-
fered from collie pains. diarrhea and vom-
itlng and was poorly nourished II APP
peared that the child had been fed as
often as It would take food, which was
sometimes as frequently as once an
hour. A proper lengthening of the in
tervals between the feelings under the
physicians advice was productive of
good results. Similar cases are not I'M
common.
A child of between six weeks and six
months Of age should not be fed oftener
than once in three hours. From six
months to ten months it should not be
fed more than six times in the twenty
four hours, and at intervals of three
hours during the daytime. At 10 months
five times in the twenty-four hours is
sufficient for healthy children.
The stomach Of most children who are
too frequently fed become irritable and
incapable of retaining food, while the
milk fed in this way by the mother be-
comes so altered as TO afford less nour-
ishment than ii should.
Other children too frequently fed will
continue to digest and absorb the excess
Of food given them and as a consequence
will accumulate fat. sometimes showing

or even over the whole face and mead

the end they surely will, from too fire.
quent feeding, the child will be really
hungry The surplus food, acting as an
irrftant in the intestines, is expelled be-
fore a sufficient amount of nourishment
becomes absorbed. The child will then
waste away, and if such treatment be
persisted in-and if it survives-will
surely become a victim to chronic intes-
final disorders
Mothers cannot be too deeply impressed
with the importance of regular feeding
at proper intervals.-N. Y. Ledger.

The Fit of Gowns in the Back.

'The first thing I say to a woman
says an authority on physical culture
and it's attendant ethics, when she
comes to me for advice and suggestion.
IS. Turn your back to me- 1t is remark
able how few women present a good
looking back, straight and shapely, with
shoulder tips in line, elbows not poking
hips even and no protuberant shoulder
blades. In one of her stories Mrs.
Cruger makes a clever fashionable wOm-

is quite right, and she might have gone
further The back is not only the cru
