BERTIE'S SIDE OF THE STORY.
She Wanted Her Mind on Her Books Instead 70 of Letters From Jack.

This morning MT. Hall, brotehr-in-1aw of the young lady, Miss Bertie Hayes, nee Miss Berltie Kennedy, whose trou- bles were mentioned in Sundays paper, called at the office yesterday morning to give her statement in regards to their
 marriage. His statement is as fol- lows:
 Miss Kennedy was sent to near by store on her bicycle to order some things for dinner. This was about half past 10 or Il o'clock in the morning. She came back at noon and said not word about having been married to Jack Hayes. which I afterwards learned she did while she was on this errand That afternoon she was sent No Oneohta to stay with 1ler sisl,er who was very SICK: We knew nothing of her marriage until the next day. l learned 1t fron some parties at the round house as soon as I returned from my run to Atlanta, I wen. home and told my wife and we went a, once to Oneonta. Hayes came up and asked for her. He didn't gat her. Bertie wrote him a letter whdle she was in Oneonta telling him that she had de- cided to go to school and that she could not receive letters from him or live with him, but probably in after years when he had home for her she might.
 "When Bertie returned to Birmingham last week I suggested that she wri.e to 
 Jack and have him call and get the mat Ter understood all around. When he came to the house her lattle sister Josie met him at the door and asked him in. Her mother and myself walked right in
 behind him. No one spoke to him but Bertie. She said Jack, I guess you know that school girls cannot receive letters from young men. I am going off to school, and don't want you to write to me. I want to have my mind on my books. have asked you before not to write to me nor bother me. un- derstand that you want divorce. am just as anxious for divorce as you are and will cheerfully sign the divorce pa- per5 any time you bring them to me. I give my consent for you to get 1t as quickly as possible and set us free. Jack, what have you to say about ft?" ''There was short pause and she re- peated her question. At this juncture her mother said dinner was ready Jack got up to depart. was out of the door when she called him and asked him for her picture thalt he had, and which he promised to send to her"

necessity of re1ief measures for the bene- fit of Americans who have rushed heed- aessly into the geld fields, but the discus- sion of the matter was very informal and fruitless Of results. Secretary Alger laid before the cabinet several telegrams asking relief for kllGcken prospectors, tn- cludlng one from the citizens commit tee of Tacsma representing that distress existed already at Dawson Cly, st9.sng that starvation had begun, and praying that a revenue cutter be sent with sup plies to S.. Michaeis and chancas taken or Pf ting the supplies to those in need of them.<
 The decision made it evident that the cabinet was not quite clear that the gov .teatne un mrrhCiti etaoin etaoin etaoin ernment authorities had warrant of law for furnishing supplies, but Secretary Alger telegraphed to Senator Perkins, of California, who is interested in a line to Alaska, asking him if he would under take to deliver a ship load of supplies at St. Michael
 If it bs found that the law will not permit the government to send supplies then relief will be furnished by private persons in order that a horror may not grow out of the rush for gold. Some consideration also was given to the prac- tieability of getting supplies in by way of projected winter tradl via Dyea.

A "SCRAPPER" IN LIMBO.
Allan Haran Got Drunk and in Consequence
 Landed in Jail.

Allan Horan Is a. young white man 23 years old. He's "scrapper." He is in jail now.
 Last night Horan got drunk. He drifted into H. B. Benge's place on Av- enue A and Twenty-second street. He drank three glasses of beer 1t Is said, and instead of letting the "barlieep'' have the exchange for the booze" he let him have the empty glass on the mouth. Officers Perdue and Culpeper arrested Horan. While they were making out the warden slip for assault and battery Horan jerked away and took to his heels. As he had a load to carry the feet-footed mdnions of the law had an easy thing of overtaking the would be escape. But Horan had a cunning jag, too. He wasn't to go behind the bars without another break for liberty There fore, he apparently accepted his pre- dicament with good grace. He allowed himself to be locked in the Black Ma ria" and as he was whirled along to prison With jolt and jar over the rough streets Horan figured out a slick little ruse. When the warden opened the door of the patrol wagon at he station Horan clasped both hands in front of him and walked out. The warden think Ing he had only a manacied prisoner to deal with gave him plenty of room to get out. That was Horan's game. He took to his heels again, but again that heavy, heavy load was too much to carry. He was locked up.

TEN DAYS CLAUSE IGNORED
Miners In the Pittsburg and
 MaSsiIIon Districts ACCEPT THE PROPOSITION A Small Sized Riot lone Man Will Die Pearps Proposition Promptly Reject
 ed-Dolan's Good Works

Pitbsburg, Pa, Sept. 14-A large num- Der of miners in the district started to- day and a still larger number will be in working order in the morning. At least 5000 of the rail miners will be at work by Wednesday morning, and quite a number of river diggers will also re- sune.
 President Patrick Dolan today met the men of the Wheeling division at Finley vile. He made a speech to 1,5OO of them a fihe Hackett mine He did not com- init himself to the men as he had dore to the operators as to the ten day clause but as a result they unanimously agreed to start work tomorrow. The Pittsburg and Chicago Gas Coal c9m- pany which owns the mines at Gaston- ville, Snowden and the First Pool has had men at work below the scale. They have been told that they will now get the same rate as paid in the other mines of the division and will also start work at once This makes uniformity along the Wheeling division. Everything is in an uproar there. The operators are tele- graplhing for cars and they want man all the men they can get at 65 cents
 Little has yet been done in the Pan- handle district in coal mining. The inl- ners are waiting until af.er the conVen- ton to be held tomorrow. Althoush the majority seem to be in favor CT nol count enancing the ten days clause oL the Columbus convention, all are not. There is liable to be lively fight over the breaking of the ten day clause when the matter comes up before the conven- ton.

MAY COME SOUTH
 FOR INSPECTION Delegation Of Representative Men From the Southern Iron Fields BEFORE THE NAVAL BOARD To Urge the Advantage of Establishing the ArmOr Plate Factory. IN ONE OF THE SOUTHERN CITIES Facts and Figures Used to Demonstrate the Fact That the Plant Should Come to
 This Neghborhood = Delega-
 ton Encouraged,
IN ONE OF THE SOUTHERN CITIES

Washington, Sept. 14.-A delegation of representative men from the large iron sections of the south went before the naval board, which is considering the question of establishing government armor factory and urged that the south of iron, labor transportation, etc., for the location of the proposed government armor plate factory. The delegation was made up of Commissioner of Pen Representatives Wheeler, of Alabama Livingston, of Georgia, and Gaines, of Tennessee.
 It was stated at the hearing that the iron used by the large private concerns now using armor plate was bought, to a great extent, from the south at the low price of $5.40 to $5.70 per ton. It was argued, also that an inland armor fac tory in the south would be more secure from attack in case of war than one near the Atlantic coast in the north.
 Letters favorable to the southern in- dustry were presented from Senators Platt, of New York, and Stewart, of Nevada, and it was stated that Senator Chandler of New Hampshire, who has taken a leading part in the plan of government factory, had written a let ter favorable to it's establishment at Sheffield, Ala. The delegation filed a Vriftpn r,eltti bn many advantages of the south in this paticular.
 Commodore Howell, president of the board, called attention lso the fact that the board could not, under the instruc- tions of the navy department, go into the question of the locality of the site Representative Livingston and others made the point that such information was what congress desired and that the scope of the boards instructions should be enlarged. Accordingly deputation headed by Commodore Howell went be- fore Assistant Secretary Roosevelt.
 Representative Gaines said after the nearing was over:
 ''Mr. Roosevelt gave us decided en- couragement. He said to Commodore Howell that he wished the amor board to visit the iron producing sections of the south He also said he would rec ommend to Secretary Long that the pow CTS of the board be broadened so that they could investigate and report on sites for a plant in addition to their present duties.
 Commodore Howell suggested that 1t would be impractfcable just now to in- aerrupt the work of compilation in which the board was engaged, but said that they would undertake a trip sou h when the work was completed"

PIECE OF DEvlLMENT
Which Will Result in the Death of One Man
 Miners the Guilty Ones.

Pfttsburg, Pa., Sept 14.-The Darr mine on the Youghioheny River, oper- aIted by Osborn & Saeger, of Cleveland, Ohio. was the scene of riot to-day which will probably result in the death of at least one man. The machine mil ners started to work on Monday and to- day a mob of diggers who were opposed to the men working gathered to give the workers hot reception when they came out of the mine. As the miners began coming out they were stoned back into the pit and several shots were fired into the pit mouth after the re- treating men.
 One man whose name cannot be learn ed. more daring than the rest, ventured into the open and was stoned unmerci- fully. He will probably die from the effects of the abuse.

70 woman ! lovely woman nature made thee 10 temper man we had been brutes without you" Woman more than merits all the good things thar have been said of her by the wits and poets of all times. When man 1auds woman and her charms and virtues, he has in his minds eve an ideal. That ideal is always a healthy wo- man. No man makes pretty speeches and witty toasts about woman, with the picture in his mind of weak, sickly, nervous wo- man, tortured by pain, and suffering from depression and despondency. It is in the power of every woman to be some mans ideal if she will but build up and guard her womanly health.
 The best of known remedies for all forms Of disease peculiar to women is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It works directly OH but one set of organs in a woman's body. It allays and eradicates pain. It soothes in- hammatioD. It invigorates and purihes.

THE CABINET MEETS.
Discusses Important Matters But Does Not
 Act-All Present Save Long.

Washington, Sept. 14.-Great interest attached to the cabinet meting today on account of the various important public questions which are impending, and the fact that it was the first meeting for some weeks. Every member of the cabi- net, with the exception of Secretary Long, who is out of the city, reached the white house promptly at Il o'clock, and each had with him an unusually large number of papers and documents relating to matters in his department. The early part of the session was devoted to the consideration of the Union Pacific uues- ton, probably the advisability of taking an appeal from the decree of the United States district court at Omaha for the sale of the property under the fore closure proceedings. The decision In the Weed case and its effect was informally talked over.
 Neither section p of the tariff act. nor the Cuban or Hawaiian questions were mentioned at the meeting. Though there was a very full discussioi of the Union Pacific matter it is learned that no de- cision was reached as to the course to be pursued by the government and it is pre- stunned that no announcement will be i made regarding it until definite con- clusion is reached.
