AT LEADVILLE
A Quiet Day Which May Precede
Greater Disorder

LEADVILLE, Col, Sept. 29.-Up to
8 o'clock tonight this has been one of
the quietest days here since the arrival
of the military. No shooting or disturb
ance of any kind has been reported.
Members of the two companies of mill
tary formed by citizens are deeply in
censed over the abuse showered upon
them by President Boyce of the West
ern Federation of Miners in his speech
to the Scandinavian miners last night.
All interest now centers in the action
to be taken at the regular meeting of
the Miners Union tomorrow night
There is still lack of definite knowl-
fdge as to whether committee was ap.
pointed at the last meeting to report
upon the advisability of declaring the
strike off, and tomorrow's meeting is
therefore all the more anxiously
awaited.
Mine owners are determined not to
grant the demand for a uniform scale
of SO a day for all men and also declare
they will not employ the leaders in
the strike.
]. r. Amvurn, the president of the
union, it Is reported, was wounded in
a fight at the Emmet mine eight days
ago and has been under the doctors

THIS is A HUMAN NATURE STORY

London police courts seem to attract
many persons who are in need of advice
rather than justice, and who in this
country would never think of seeking it
outside the circle of relatives or friends.
Here is a typical case reported by The
London News:
A well-dressed young woman asked
the advice of Mr.. Dickinson at the
Thames Police court respecting her hus-
band. On Monday morning, she said,
when he went out, he promised to be
home to dinner, but failed to appear at
the dinner hour.
Mr. Dickinson Gnquiringly)-Has your
husband always kept his promises?
Applicant-Yes, until then.
Continuing, she said: "Well, when I
found he did not come home for tea, at
7 o'clock, / thought / would make it my
business to go out and make some in
ouiries. On getting into Chrisp street
who should l see but my husband on the
box seat Of break"
Mr. Dickinson (gently)-Perhaps the
driver was simply giving him a lift
home?
Applicant, (emphatically)-No fear!
He had been out all day enjoying him.

Mr. Dickinson-Well what did you
say?
Applicant-why what could say?
Mr.. Dickinson-I don't know.
Applicant-He aftArward threatened
me.
Mr.. Dickinson-It is only a little tiff.
OF course he ought not to have out for
a holiday without you.
Applicant-No; quite right. You see
I have only been married few months,
and thought l had better at once put
my foot down. That was why L came to
see you.
Mr.. Dickinson-Talk to him kindly
and he won't do it again.
Applicant-Very likely, but he had bet

TELEPHONE OF THE FUTURE

A Moscow electrician, M. Kildschew-
sky, claims to have made very import
ant discovery in the Improvement of
telephone communication. The essen
tial principle of the Improvement is that
distance makes no difference to the carri-
age of sound, or at least, that tele-
phonic communication may be carried
over distances as long as in the case of
a telegraphic current. In the presence
of the chief of telegraphs and the de-
partment engineer at Moscow, and using
an ordinary telegraph wire, M. Kids
chewsky a few days ago made very
successful test of his invention by COM
municating with Rostoff on the Don, a
distance of $50 miles. Ordinary speech,
music and singing were heard with as
perfect distinctness as If tAe communi-
cation We're made between two local
Moscow stations. M. Kildischewsky, it
is announced, will now proceed to Lon
don to test his discovery by experiments
with one of the Atlantic cables between
that city and New Y York.--Odessa Cores
