est Reports are of Quiet.
Charleston. W. Va, July e.-Gover-
nor McCorkie's representative at Elk
horn wires today that the operators
have made a formal demand on the
sheriff of Mcdowell county for protec-
ton against a threa tened outbreak of
miners in that region and the sheriff
has verbally admitted that he is un-
able TO give it. He has. however. made
no demand on the governor for militia,
though Governor McCorkle states that
ne is in constant expectation OF such
demand
The governor stated that while the
new men never during the last strike
committed any infraction Of the law,
yet within the past few days the out
look has materially changed. Instead
of being content TO wait for work 10
resume, the men are becoming restless
and are congregating at various places
Many OF them are carrying arms.
Several OF the operators have tried
TO resume with non-unien men brought
from Virginia and against these the
feeling among the strikers is very Bit
ter. Large bodies OF men some OF them
armed, are marching up and down the
acts, still are practising virtual inti-
madation. a large body marched last
night to Norfork with every seeming
intention of violence but were prevent
ed by civil guards from doing any
harm.

trouble and owing 10 actual service
last year, the troops are evidently weN

The situation in the Elkhorn region
shows no change at midnight. The
governor expected to send troops there
this afternoon. but received telegram
from Sheriff Eppler OF Mcdowell coun-
ty stating that nearly all the operat-
orS in the Elkhorn and BluefeldS re-
gions had asked for protection and ask
ing the governors advice. The COVER
nor wired that as the sheriff was on
the ground and familiar with the stu
alton he must act as his judgment die
tated and must suffer no lawlesSneSS
of any character.
A telegram from the governors re-
preventative says that the local labor

would carry no more Winchesters. The
report telegraphed from here that no
one was allowed to leave the train

States marshal had been notified and

jutant TO be without any foundation
Huntington, W. Va, July 6. "A dis

Thinning a Trlple somersnnIt.

/ saw John Worland do it in New Haven
in 1884, and he told me the whole history
of the act and of the many men who have
tried to do it. The first man to attempt
to turn triple somersault was performer
in Van Amburgh's circus, in Mobile in
1872. He broke his neck. w. j. Hobbies
made the attempt in London in 1915, and
was instantly killed. The next one was
John AMOR He had been successfully
turning a double, and was the original in
accomplishing it over four horses He tried
to do triple at the Isle of Wight in 1853,
turned twice, landed on his forehead, and
broke his neck. Sam Reinhart, while trav-
cling with Cooper IL Bailey's circus, be-
came dissatisfied with the double sOmer-
saut feat, and was anxious to do a triple.
He did it in Toledo in 1870, making high
leap, turned twice and a half, alighted on
the broad of his back, and was disabled
for some time.
Billy Dutton accomplished the feat at
Elkhorn in 1860, but he never made an
other attempt. The only man, living or
dead, that ever accomplished the feat sue
cessfuly, was John Worland, the man l
saw. He threw a triple somersaut six
times from a spring board. The first time
he attempted it was at St. Louis in 1874,
with Wilson's circus. He made three trials,
twice over five horses, landing on his back.
At the third attempt he landed on his feet.
The last time he accomplished the feat
was when | saw him at New Haven in
1884. 1t was at the Forepaugh show, and
the mayor of the city and many newspaper
men were present. First a performer ran
down the board and turned a single SOM
ersault; then another man followed and
turned a double; after which Worland ran
down the board and threw triple somer-
sault, landing on a bed on his feet as
straight as an arrow. 1t has seldom oc-
Cured that any man has done a triple SOM
ersault before a circus audience after due
commencement, but there is no doubt
about Worland's act. 1t was duly an
nounced by the ring master, aud hundreds
of people saw him do Wallpapers Round

Hetty Greem as She Is.

A New York Advertiser reporter was
detailed the other day to interview Hetty
Green with instructions to "write her as
she is" and "tell the truth about her"
The young man found the owner of 500
000,00 or $50, 600, 600 in her quarters in the
Chemical national bank building on Broad
way, and very ready to talk with him,
though it is difficult to find that she eX-
pressed any opinions of general interest in
the four columns which the interview is
made to cover. The reporter found Mrs.
Green as she is usually drawn, and Mrs
Green as she really is, two different wom-
en-. The real Hetty Green is mot mean
looking, grasping old woman" She is I'M
der the medium height, light of weight
"a bright-eyed, cheery-faced elderly lady
who sat for an hour and talked and laugh
ed as she recalled other days when she, as
Sylvia Robinson, was prominent in society
in London, where lords and even dukes
thought it an honor to dance with her, and
those other days when Newport and Can
onchet were even more fashionable and ex-
elusive than now, and when the Hetty
Green that is was bright particular social
star, admired for both her brains and her
beauty. And dear me- she said, ito be

tors in this country do" Mrs. Green

reads and writes four languages besides
English, her business relations compelling
her to keep the knowledge of these tongues
acquired in her youth.

The poI,cem,n,s Little .Goke.

The policeman had done duty at the
ball park, and his wife had been to see the
game. Both were young and only recently
married, and they enjoyed themselves
hugely on the way.
The woman wore a handsome little gold
watch, evidently present from her hus-
band. While half the people in the car
were looking, and while his wife was speak
ing to a woman acquaintance outside the
car, the policeman deity took the watch
from his wife's pocket and transferred it to
his pistol pocket.
When the car reached 18th street the po-
liceman remarked that it was few min
utes past 6 o'clock, and everybody in the
car looked at the policemans wife.
OF course she did what everyone in the
car expected she would. She felt for her
watch. 1t seemed as if a sudden violent
pain had attacked the wOman's heart. Her
face became very pale and her eyes dilated.
1t was a full minute before she could
speak. Then she whispered in her hus-
bands ear loud enough for the intensely
interested spectators to hear: 81 have been
touched; some one has stolen my watch"
Her eyes began to grow dim, and before
the policeman could answer big tear rolled
down her cheek and fell into her lap.
"lIere is the watch; | was only joking
with you,' and the policeman felt back for
his pocket.
Then look of dsmay overspread his
face. The watch had disappeared. He
felt in first one pocket and then another,
and finally turned all his pockets wrong
side out.
His wife looked on in Open-mouthed as
constituent. SO did the other people in
the car. All had smiled and looked out
the windows of the car when the woman
| first discovered that her watch was gone,
but when her husband failed to produce
it, after having told her that he had taken
it, the people sat upright and watched the
hunt for the missing timepiece with great
| interest.
Finally a quiet-appearing young man,
who sat in the rear of the car, arose and
handed the watch to the policeman's wife.
81 just wanted to teach your husband a
lesson,' he said.
And the crowd of passengers gave vent
to prolonged hearty laugh, and the po-
lceman and his wife finally joined in the
merriment, though they were little slow
to appreciate the joke.-LouiSrdie Courier
