conclusion that the Coxey movement that
started from Massillon, Ohio, on Easter Sun
day and is now within a few hours march
of the capital is fizzle. The
news that Coxey and his Commonweal
Army had reached Montgomery County,
Maryland, which adjoins the District of
Columbia, without any increase or prospect
or large augmentation in their mum bers,
and the example made of train stealers
by the federal authorities, have convinced
the police that the greatest danger has

ingly 200 special policemen were sworn in
today. They win report for duty Monday
morning and with the regular police will
give the district police force of $50 men.
All the watchmen in the Treasury, the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing under
the Smithsonian buildings whose COM
missions have expired, were. sworn in
today as additional policemen of the
local force Citizens of Takonla Park and
Tennally town settlements within the limits
of the District of Columbia and on the
line of routs of Coxey Army, have organ
lied committees of safety. The United
States marines at the Washington
Navy Yard and the Marine Barracks
were instructed in the riot drill today.
Everywhere preparations are going on for
any emergency that may arise. and it is
almost certain that any unlawful demonstra-
tion, no matter how large ~ be quickly
suppressed.
The first commune organized in Washing

Rockville this morning from the Coxey
headquarters by A. e. Redstone, the local
good roads agent. 1t consisted of twenty
zen under Charles Stensbury, a painter
from Philadelphia. All the men except one
claim to be mechanics, and they hail from
Pittsburg, Cincinnati and Philadelphia.
Three of them said they were tele-
graph operators. Citizen Redstone told the
men to proceed TO Rockville quietly
and to avoid any trouble with officers of the
law, and the twenty would-be Coxevites
started off in knots of three and four.

THE APEX OF woMANs YOUTH.

A very true remark is made by writer in
a contemporary, who shinks that women be-
tween thirty and thlrty-fve feel older than
they do ten years later, the loss of youth
being then present calamity, to which they
afterwrrd grow accustomed and reconciled
BY means of fresh interests and pursuits. Not
only is it perfectly true that the years during
which fresh and attractive youth gradu-
ally wanes must be more or less fraught
with regIet, but they present many little
social difficulties to which the better defined
periods Of age are not subject, and woman
OF shy, difldent feelings is liable to appear at
her very worst just when she ought to be
gathering all her forces to resist the charm
destroying onslaught of old Time. Lady's

NOTES AND LETTERS.



The writing desk is a very important part
of the furniture of woman's own room.
There are people who scramble along con-
tentedly and somewhat clumsily with
small portfolio, part of bureau drawer, or
an old atlas, in which to keep their cores
pondence, their paper, and pens. Everyone
has been in houses where the request for
writing material occasioned q search all over
the house for the family inkstand and the
family supply of paper. Such houses, how
ever, do not In these Gays exlst IN cues,
where very much of the commerce OF life
must needs be carried on by means OF notes.
A society wonans day begins with the read
ing of and replying to her many CORES
pondents' missives
A well furnished writing desk, with paper
OF different sizes, envelopes to match, sealing
wfx, stamps, and all the dainty accessories
of the writing table, is something no woman
can afford to do without. When possible,
the residence, street and number, perhaps
the town, or the name of the house )if it pos
sesses a pretty individual name), should be
stamped at the top of the page Ii mono
gram is preferred, or the family coat of
arms and motto these may be placed at the
top of the page, and the address may be en-
graved on the outside of the envelope. "Pine
Hurst .sOak Ridge, /" 1.-THE Lowlands," etc,
look very charming when engraved on the
family note paper The family crest is more
pretentious, but carries some weight.
The pest paper for ordinary use is plain
white, whether rough or smooth, thick or
thin, depending ON the taste of the writer,
and depending also ON the sort of pen she
habitually uses Few fountain pens glide
easily over a rough surface, and if these con-
venient implements are used, then the lady
should select smooth paper to suit them.
Nothing is more confusing than pen which
catches on the paper and refuses to make a
mark. Ink should invariably be black. Pale
writing is never in good taste; it is too try
ing to the eyesight Of those who receive it,
and seems to be lacking in dignity. Tinted
papers, ragged edges, and eccentricities of
every kind are not admissible. .-Haspe1ss

win by peaceful means. Those who refuse
to join and want to work will not
be molested. The operators will not attempt
to operate their work. None. except those
who have wages due them, will be given food
at the stores unless they put up the cash.

are not wanted in the coke
