Home.

Washington, Dec. 2I.-Miss
Leila Herbert, daughter Of former
Secretary of the Navy Herbert, of
Alabama, committed suicide in
this city this morning by throwing
herself from the third story win
dow OF her home on New lamp
shire avenue, in the most fashion
able part of the city, just off Du-
pont Circle. The sudden death
and tragic features surrounding it
were a great shock to the great
circle of friends she had made in
the course Of her life in Washing
ton as the daughter of a popular
representative in Congress from
the South, and later as one Of the
cabinet circle of ladies when she
presided over her fathers house
hold during the four years he was
Secretary of the Navy under the
last Cleveland Administration.
Her death is indirectly traceable
to an accident while horse back
riding last September in Virginia.
She was thrown violently to the
ground and sustained severe inJu-
ries to her back.
Since that time she has been in
poor health and has suffered from
mel ancholia. At the time of heI
death she was keeping her room
and was under the constant care OIL
two nurses. The nurse in charge
discovered blood on the bed cloth
ing and found that Miss HerbetI
had severed the artery of her wrist
with a pair of scissors. The nurse
ran to the door to give the alarm
and Miss Herbert sprang from he
bed and leaped headhrst from The
window. Her skull was frac'
tured and she died in about ar
hour.

the union. In these counties these coun-
ties there are about 700 miners. Only a
small per cent of this number is in the
organization.
The speaker said il was the intention oil
the union to thoroughly organize this part
Of the State. This being done the
work will be carried To Kentucky. The
points that will be visited are Central City,
T ay lorville, McHenry. Island Station,
Powderly. Mud River and Basket Station.
After these points have been organized il
is hoped to bring the Darlington men into
the union Darlington, Ky, is the hardest
place the union miners have ever attempted
to unionize.
Now note the following from the
Philadelphia Record;
A non union workman who recently
found employment in the Scottdale rolling
mill. which has been the scene OF bitter
strike. was refused abundance to the Bap-
list church yesterday. His name and that
of his wife we're among those announced
a, the morning service by the pastor. Rev.
Mr.. Stratton. Strikers who are church
members charged the applicant with
drunkenness, and. although the charge
was not sustained, he and his wife we're
refused baptism. The congregation is
composed largely of strikers. although
some mill officials are members.
Strikers wives belonging to the Aid
Society are indignant because meeting
of the society is called at non-union board
ing house.
And the following from the Coal
Trade Journal;
Two hundred miners at the Crawford
Coal Company's mines at Brazil, Ind.
went out on the 9TH because they discover
ed one non.union man at work and four
others who had not paid their dues.
Although Darlington is small
place of some $500 inhabitants,
the various religious denomina-
tons are found within its confines;
and in the churches of these diff
ferent branches OF Christians, our
people, the stranger within our
gates" and even the wayfaring man
can worship God according to the
dictates of conscience and none
dare 10 modest or make afraid.
Last summer when the organizers
came here TO SOW seeds of discord
and inaugurate want and suffering
among a contented and prosperous
people they we're kindly and cor
daily invited to church and intro
duced to each Of the worshippers
there assembled, who in that fell
lowship which distinguishes the
true followers OF the Master invited
those whose mission was not OF
peace and whose purpose was to
violate the law, to sit in the front
and assist in the service Of God.
Now if "union miners" wish to
educate our people up to that ele-
waited point where they will cast
obstacles in the pathway Of those
who are striving to travel in the
"straIght and narrow road" then
Darlington will forever remain a
"hard place, for her broad-minded
citizens are too liberal in their
views to for one moment entertain
such narrow, contracted senti
ments.
