SOARING AMBITION.

The advance Of Mrs. Potter Palmer
has been rapid. For many years-that
is, five or six or so, it would not be
gallant to specify more-she was known
IA Chicago as beautiful and rich
woman. She was not a society woman
'u the full degree, but more distinctively
Ia wealthy society woman At that
time she had apparently no other am
bition than to appear In exquisite gowns
at the swell social gatherings and TO
drive gorgeous equipages on the boule
wards and In the parks.
But with the approach OF the burst Of
municipal self glorifcation Of Chicago. A.
the 4OOth anniversary Of our Columbian
career, she blossomed out, too. She
became president Of the women's
wrangling committee, politely called
the Lady Managers, and achieved
Well-deserved success for quleting that
body occasionally and at all times con.
dueting herself and the affairs Of which
she had direct charge in sensible and
praiseworthy manner
For all Of that she deserves credit. She
really did we'll what she had TO do; and
was brave enough to undertake great
deal, and tactful enough to carry il
through successfully.
Since then, having gained the expert
ence and the celebrity Of woman Of
affairs she has managed the Palmer
House, Mr. Palmer having the grip Il
is likely that the chief symptom Of the
grip Mr.. Palmer has IS the grip Of Old
Time, for be is in no sense young man
However that may be, he has been un.
able 10 give his personal attention to
the Affairs Of the hotel, aud Mrs Palmer
has assumed all Of his duties.
That, too. Is creditable; possibly her
management may be successful. As "a
that there is no evidence.
But Mrs. Palmer's ambition did no,
stop there. She longed for new world,
to conquer, and she is now writing q
history Of Women's Work az the World
Fair The news from this literary worl
Is meagre because perhaps. the history
bad scarcely been begun when tb,

STRIKE BEGINS TODAY.
Three Thousand Coal Mines WIN BE Idle
by Tonight

PIrTsBURG, April 2i.-Today at noon the
great coal strike which has been pending
for several months will be inaugurated
President John Mcbride of the United
Mine Workers estimates that 100000 men
will be engaged Secretary Treasurer Pat
rick Mcbride is quoted as placing the mum.
Der TO he engaged nt 100000 The tele-
graphic reports indicate that the number
will be between those two extremes.
The strike will be confined to the bitumi-
nous coal region of the United States. In
this there are 23 districts organized, four
being in Pennsy lvania. The other dis
tricts are Washington, Wyoming Colo.
RADIO, Indian Territory Missouri, Kansas,
Alabama, Tennessee, kentucky. Virginia,
West Virginia, Maryland, Ohio Indiana
and Illinois. A Massillon operator says
that 5000 coal mines i'm the United States
will bee abandoned
In the pittsburg district there are about
l2O mines and fully so more in the Clear
field or mountain district. These two dis
tricts have about $4,000 miners.
That the operators i'm this and the other
Ohio districts believe the strike will as
sume great proportions has been shown by
the starting during the past week of mines
which have long been idle. I'm the fever
ish hurry TO get out coal even convicts are
being used for the purpose, and as many
men are being put TO work as can be Sc
cured. They have not been formally noti-
fled Of the strike, but are aware that it il
coming They have not decided what ac-
tion to take I'm the matter.
Manufacturers and foundry owners are
greatly alarmed and do not credit assur-
ances from operators that tho strike will
be Of short duration, and therefore they
are securing all the coal they can.
IL is conceded that a strike of two weeks
will cause "a shortage which may cause a
closing down Of their works. II will also
cause an advance of coal, and they are lay
ing in quantities now. so that the coal
dealers have all the orders they can attend
TO. Altogether no impending strike for
years has caused So much general interest
and anxiety as this one.
