Mrs. Debs is very indignant over the
charge that her husband organized the

HE Is anything but mercenary. He re-
fused salary Of $20, 600 a year from

when his abilities are considered. He
has always been the friend Of the poor,

whether he will get what he wants or

Argus-Leade-, %: This morning
Judge Edgerton denied the motion of
the Homestake Mining company for a
new trial In the Fullerton case. 1t will
be remembered that at the first trial the
jury awarded $4,000 damages and on
the second trial, which was granted by
Judge Sanborn the jury gave $4,000.
Judge Moody, who moved for new trial,
made the point that the foreman Of the
company, to whom Fullerton reported
the condition OF the machinery, had no
authority TO promise anything in the
premises. Judge Garland, who appeared
for Fullerton, argued that the foreman
being the man who hired the men and
stood Tor the company had fullauthority
and that bis promises In the matter

seemed to be just as warm when she
raised her shade as when she forgot it
and allowed it to remain unopened.
The other day she was walking along
Pennsylvania avenue, and acting upon
the impulse of her habit she raised her
parasol as soon as she emerged from
store. Then she noticed that her breath
ing was difficult and that her face was
burning. Suddenly it dawned upon her
she had noticed this before, and she set
to work to reason out the cause. For
time she pondered, growing warmer
with each step, until she moved in the
shade of tree and snapped her parasol
into its folded state. In q moment her
face was bathed with fresh, cool air,
and she was immensely relieved. II
then flashed across her that she had been
unconsciously imprisoning all the hot
air rising from the sidewalks and as
phalt pavements beneath the domelike
top of her shade, which, instead of act
ing as protector, as intended, was
reallyserving as hood to surround her
face with the hottest atmosphere of the
street, AS long as she held her parasol
up the air had no chance TO circulate,
and this was the more uncomfortable be-
cause she persisted i'm holding il quite
low So she experimental, and as re-
suit found that she was really more
comfortable when she walked with her
parasol folded than when she opened it,
