EyIct Striking Miners

Terre Haute, Ind, Nov. 25.-Monday
notices of eviction were posted by the
Parke County Coal company and the
Coal Bluff company, who operate
mines in this and Parke counties and
employ 1000 men. This is a result OF
the action of the miners convention
last week, deciding to continue the
strike for GO cents. These operators
will endeavor to run their mines 1nde-
pendent OF the miners organization
and to bring in men who will be will
ing to work for IS cents. President
Knight of the miners says that he has
reason to believe that in few days
several OF the operators who have been
holding out for the 55-cent rate since
last May will pay 60 cents, and that
when one does this the others will fol-
low.

LONDON, Nov. PA high official
connected with the prison at Worm
wood Scrubs tells a startling story OF
the pitiablc condition of Mrs. May
brick, who is confined in that institu-
tion. While she has not wholly lost
her reason, the woman, who is serving
q life sentence for the alleged poison
ing of her husband, is closely border
ing on insanity. She has made two
attempts to take her own life, one OF
which was nearly successful. The
off cial states that Mrs. Maybricls will
not survive another year OF prison
life. This is not due to harsh treat
ment, but the result Of close contine-
mont and mental worry. The efforts
to secure her release that have been
made in America have injured
her, as the English home Office resents
anything that savors Of coercion COM
ing from pressure of q foreign power.
From resent indications, if Mrs. May
brick should live that long, the official
states that she will probably be re-
leased within the next year.

There is a new story around Chica-
20 anent Whistler. 1t is claimed that
he painted portrait Of Miss Marion
Peck, daughter Of the late Harold Peck,
was paid for it, and now refuses to
send it to "such a place as Chicago"
The story is s:ngularly lacking in veri-
similitude, for despite all Whistler's
eccentricities he is anything but dis
honest. Moreover, the added detail that
Miss Peck gave the great painter "93'
.sittings for the portrait at once shows
the improbability Of the whole matter,
as Whistler is known the world over
as the most rapid painter living, and
lie never in his life gave half or quar-
ter that time to portrait.
