his conciliatory talk the strikers loudly
declared no passenger trains should be

from the depot. For d few moments
the soldiers hesitated, then they wav-

Soon after this it became known why
the militia had retreated. United
States Marshal Baldwin and the rail
road officials had insisted that the
troops refrain from shooting and that
they remove the strikers by physical
strength. This plan the officers OF the
militia refused to sanction. Many Of
the strikers here are armed. and 100
others, with guns and ammunition, are
en- route from Dunsmuir. Serious
trouble is expected.

1t Was His Wife.

A score of times a day tho guides at
the capitol bring visitors into the room
of the committee on naval affairs OIL
the senate side and show to the visitors
the rich frescoes with which the walls
of the room are covered.
The paintings are works of Brumidi,
the famous Italian artist, and thereby
hangs a romance.
Conspicuous on the walls are half a
dozen or more female figures. 1t is
plainly evident that they are all painted
from the same model. The form is per-
feet, the face is sweetly attractive and
is marked by repose and gentleness
that is typically Italian. The figures
seem to float in midair, with drapery
falling with studied carelessness. Wheth-
er the woman is pictured as carrying
an anchor, or grasping flag, or intent
ly studying a scroll, the pose is easy,
natural and full of grace. Sometimes it
is the full face which looks down from
the walls; sometimes a glance is half
turned toward you; sometimes it is only
the sweep of the back and the curve of
a symmetrical neck which is visible.
But no matter what the pose or how
the woman is pictured, it is always evil
dent that she has been painted con
amore and that upon her form and fea-
lures the artist has fingered with low
ing touch.
And no wonder. The woman was
Brumidi's wife. Washington Post.

Gloves figure largely in the list Of nee
essary expenditures by the wives of the
cabinet officers, as upon each official en-
tertainment when they, with the presi-
. dent and his wife, constitute the receiv-
ing party pair Of white gloves must
be sacrificed. The fact that the func-
ton is a card reception does not lessen
the certainty that the glove worn ON the
right hand, which is extended to the
passing stream of guests, becomes, be-
fore the close of the evening, so soiled
that no future effort at cleansing is OF
the slightest avail. The glove ON the
left hand, of course remains spotless.
Mrs. Cleveland never wears a glove
{ on her right hand at receptions, as her
experience during her first occupancy of
the executive mansion taught her that
by so doing she avoided the intense pain
that invariably followed great amount
of handshaking when the glove was
kept on Mrs. Harrison was compelled
to altogether omit handshaking ON &C
count of the condition of her hands,
which were at times SO swollen with
rheumatism as to make the slightest
pressure a matter Of positive agony.
All things considered, it would seem
the most sensible thing to omit entirely
the handwriting feature of public and
card receptions at the White House. -
