The girls of New Castle are elated over
the prospects of the shirt factory. Like
everything els 1t will be frownel down
by some.
Its more commendable to mako SO or
IS o week than to ask for outdoor relief or
contract bills in the stores that will neve:
be paid. Men and women will say "TEe
wages are too samlI." Take Il girl wEo
goes to one Of the large stores in Whining
ton. She works foo three months for
nothing and then her salary is $3 week.
Take 81. 20 for car fare from that and she
has SIS week left.
How about that girl working. for 81 q
week in the shirt factory. Oh, no tho
shirt fuctory would not b. SO tony, but the
money would pHy the store bills, would
permit tho girls to dress better and more
money would bu circulated i'll New Castle.
The Citizens Committee have issued Il
call for all subscriptions promised
If tho money promised is given ut once
then the bills can be paid and tho rent
paid in advance. The committee expects
TO lull1l lCs promise With tho manu!actur-

COMBINE AGAINST REPUBLICANS.

Democrat, POpulist and Silver Sem
ntors Reach an Agreement.
WASHINGTON, April 1O.-The final agree
ment among democrats, silver republicans
and populists in the senate looking to per-
manent coalition was reached at a meeting
of representatives of those parties held in
Senator Germans committee room at the
capitol today The agreement had its origin
in the effort to reorganize the senate COM
mittees, but 1t is destined apparently to
reach far beyond this situation, and, in fact,
to the future proceedings of the senate on
all matters, IL not to the extent OF shaping
party policies throughout the country. There
were present at the meeting: Democrats,
Senators German Cockrell, Walthall, Jones
of Arkansas and Murphy; silver republicans,
Senators Cannon and Mantle; populists, Sena-
tors Allen and Pettigrew.
With reference td the matters of the SEN
ate reorganization, it was decided that the
combination should hold out for the assign
ment of democrats to all the places on COM
mittees heretofore held by democrats, while
1t was agreed that the republicans should
have the places hitherto filled by repub-
licans. This will give the republicans all
the committee chairmanships vacated by the
retirement, OF Senators Cameron, Sherman,
Dubois, Squire, Mitchell of Oregon and
Brown, but 1t will give the combination
about seventy vacancies, while 1t allows the
republicans only about thirty. The combina-
tion decided against making any concessions,
even that providing for allowing the repub-
licans to fill one Of the three vacancies in
the committee on appropriations.

TO CREATE KOUNTZE PARK
Exposition Directors Will Purchase Land
and Donate 1t to the City.
EQUAL AMOUNT DONATED BY Mr.. KoUNTzE
Park Commission VIII Expcnd $780,
900 in Improving the Tract,
which VIII lie Used for
the ExpositiOn.

The exposition authorities will purchase
five and one-half acres of land in the portion
of the exposition grounds, known as the
Kountze tract. and donate it to the city
after the exposition, to be used as park In
connection with piece of the same size i'm
mediately adjoining it, the whole to be known
as Kountze park. These two pieces OF
ground lie on either side of Twentieth street
and constitute the middle portion OF the
Kountze tract. The price to be paid for
the ground by the exposition company is
s15, 200, but Mr.. Kountze agrees to donate
81, 900 of this amount to the exposition in the
way Of stock subscription.
In consideration of this action the park
commission has already agreed to expend
$50 900 Of the park fund upon this park in
aid of the exposition.
This action Of the exposition association
was decided upon at meeting of the board
of directors held last night. The matter was
decided by motion of General Henderson,
who offered resolution providing that the
proposition of Mr.. Kountze should be ac-
cepted, and the land purchased, to be pre-
sented to the city after the close of the
exposition.
The only other business transacted by the
board was the adoption of motion instruct
ing the executive committee to take such
steps as may be necessary to collect the
sessments on stock subscriptions which have
not been paid.

Clinton Claims to Know Something of
the Mysterious Air Ship.
The mystery surrounding the mysterious
airship which has caused the veracity of
many reputable citizens to be questioned,
promises to be cleared up within few days
through the medium of the Transmississipp
Exposition. Either this is the fact or a
stupendous hoax is to be perpetrated on the
exposition authorities.
In the first mail yesterday Secretary
Wakefield received a letter dated at Omaha
and bearing the postmark of this date. The
letter was signed, "a. c. Clinton and read
as follows
To the Exposition Directors: My identity

This communication was written on a
sheet of plain note paper, without printed
matter of any kind which would throw any
light upon the identity of the writer. He
gave no address and his name does not
appear in the last city directory.
The amount of space asked for by the
writer of this letter Is nearly thirty-five
