mimi story of starvation.

Toronto, July 4.-News has reached
here from the river Moisie, on the north
shore, to the effect that a. party of hunt
ers from Moisie found the remains OF sew
en- Indians about two miles in the 1nte-
rtor. The remains were those OF fam
ily consisting of father, mother and five
children. A few notes in the Maskoupi
language, undoubtedly written by the
sauaw, showed that the family had
started from Moisie last fall for the Hud=
son bay hunting grounds. After having
Travelled about 200 miles the provisions
ran short and there being no game one
after another succumbed to starvation,
tha woman being the last to die.

The Talk Of Abandoning the Work of Rescue
Revived Miners Are Dissatisfied at
the Secrecy

Wikesbarre, Pa, July Aust seven
DAYS have passed tonight since the hfty-
eight miners and laborers entered the Ill
fated Twin shaft in Pittston, and still no
tidings have been learned of their rate.
The rescuers made very little progress
today. A squeeze of quite large proper
lions is reported to have taken place our,
ing the afternoon and continued until
cuers have encountered considerable wa
ter, which adds to the difficulty in remov-
ing the debris. The talk of abandoning
the work rescuing has been revived again
this evening, but as none OF the ofhc1ais
could be seen the report could not be
verified. The three mine inspectors APP
pointed by the governor to investigate
the cause of the disaster will hold their
first session on Monday night. II VIII De
secret. Much dissatisfaction Is being ex-
pressed by the miners over the session
not being an open one.

"Had Nothing to Saw


Baltimore, Md, July 4.-The disaffec-
ton In the ranks of Maryland democracy
was clearly illustrated this morning
when the state delegation to the national
convention assembled at Camden Station
and took the 1920 Baltimore and Ohio
train for Chicago. There We're just TWEEN
ty-two persons in the party including
delegates, democratic leaders and news
paper men. Four years ago Maryland
representatives to the national conven-
ton and their friends occupied three spe-
cial trains; today one Pullman and Vice
President c. X. Lords private car Della
ware accommodated them There was
no music this morning, as in former
years, no parading to the railroad station,
no jublant demonstration on the part of
the multitude, no guard of honor from
the big democratic clubs of the city. In
dividual members of the party went
quietly to the station and as quietly took
their seats in the car assigned them.
The three or four silver men of the dele
cation tried to get up a little enthusiasm
as the train pulled out, but the effort was
not very successful Late last night
Charles c. Grothers of Cecil county, can
didate for attorney-genera last fall, one
of the delegates-at-large, telegraphed his
resignation to Chairman Hatterslee w.
Talbot of the state central committee.
Mr.. Talbot will fill the two vacancies &C.

to the meeting of the convention.

Gotham Took a pav OFF.

New York, July 4.-The Fourth of July
was celebrated in New York and vicinity
today much the same as in past years.
The features 81 the celebrations were
speech making, picnicking and athletic
sports. Business was entirely suspended
and the down town streets had a desert
ed appearance. The stars and stripes
fioated to the breeze from all public
buildings and many private houses were
decorated in honor of the day.
Christopher Forbes raised the flag on
the pole at the battery at sunrise. He was
assisted by a number of Grand Army OF
the Republic posts AS the flag reached
the top of the staff the Daughters of vet
Grams sang the "Star Spangled Banner"
An address was made and three cheers
were given for the flag At noon the
chimes of Trinity played a number of ma
tional and patriotic airs.
The principal parade of the day was
that of the national association of naval
Veterans. which was viewed by thou
sands of persons. The weather was
threatening all day, but this did not deter
those who had arranged to spend the day
out of doors.

RARE DIPLOMACY.
Remarkable Meeting Between ENJOYS
of France and Austria.

of France and Austria.
The story has been told in many forms
of two persons, each Of whom suspected
the other of deep laid malign plan, and
each gave time and anxiety to the discov-
cry of that plan, only to find in the end
that neither had any plan except to watch
the other.
One day Prince Metternich, tho old Aus
trian statesman, was informed that a
stranger desired to see him. The man, be-
ing admitted was recognized by Meter
mich as one whom he had formerly known
at Paris But the man now appeared I'M
der borrowed name. He had fragment
of the handwriting of Fouche, the French
minister of police, as evidence that he
was sent by Fouche. His mission, he said,
was most secret, and, In fact, only extend
ed to informing the prince that Fouche
was DESTROYS of Offering to his considera-
tions propositions of highly important
nature. The messenger declared that he
was quite ignorant of the purport of these
propositions and had no other authority
than to invite the prince to secret con-
ference through the medium of some trusty
snvoy who should be dispatched to Paris
for the purpose.
Tho prince replied, "You must permit
mo w bAlnk VI billS.
The agent retired and the Austrian min
lister repaired to the emperor and recounted
what had passed.
~ think" said the prince, "that we
should send confidential agent not to
Paris, but to some other place that may be
fixed upon, who shall have no other in
structions but to listen to all that tho
Frenchman who will meet him there shall
impart and bring us faithfully an account
of 1t.
The mysterious messenger was accord
ingly dismissed, with an answer to the eff
feet that an Austrian calling himself Wer-
ner should be at a certain hotel in the
town of Basic, in Switzerland, ON such
day, with instructions from Prince Meter
mich. The meeting thus appointed took

"May l ask you, sir" said tho envoy

"My object, sir, " replied the Austrian,
"is TO listen to whatever you may be dis
posed to say"

How Three Guileless Young Maidens Man.
aged to Get Comfortable Seats.
Three young women who got aboard
Broadway cable car one day last week
looked utterly and absolutely guileless.
No one would have suspected them Of
being capable of plot or strategy. But
theirs was the art which conceals itself,
which is the highest kind of art, SO the
critics say, according to the New YORK
Tribune.
The car was full, just full and no
more. Every seat was taken, and,
strange to say, every sitter was a man.
The three young women took in the sit
uation at a glance. They each grasped
a strap near the rear entrance and stood
there All the men near them were IN
tensely interested IN evening papers.
The young women began to look tired,
but the spell of the newspapers con-
tinued unbroken.
The young women waited reasonable
time for relief. Then they conferred
briefly for a moment and moved along
to the center of the car. Here they
stopped again and seized three more
straps They really looked weary by
this time The expressions of hopeless
fatigue upon their faces were palmetto
Quite artlessly, of course. they glanced
down at the men on each side OF them.
The Indifference of their fellow passen-
gers remained undisturbed. The three
women sighed one after the other, great
heartrending signs. Still nobody offered
to them seat.
Another silent conference took place.
after which the trio moved UP to the ex-
treme front of the car. By this time they
looked ready to collapse. One of them
murmured family: "Oh, I'm so tired,
Jennie" She murmured this family, but
NOT too family. 1t reached the ears Of
fat man who sat in the corner. He was
unfortunate enough to look up just as
she murmured, and he couldn't pretend
he didn't hear.
He got up with bad grace. Take my
seat" he said with q sickly attempt at a
smile. The young woman addressed lost
no time in accepting. But she did not
say thank you" The ice was broken.
Two other men Immediately arose. and,
casting chances OF disgust at ths fat
man, fled 10 the rear platform
ghe three women eyed cacn other coy
ertly. Then hey smiled faintly and hf ed
their graceful shoulders just the least Iii
They were clever women
