.3 Women at the Spinning.
Golf is perhaps Indirectly responsible
for the latest fad to be taken up by
New York women. Golf stockings are
no longer bought in the shops or even
made to order. They are spun at home
BY the industrious women, who are fol-
lowing the example Of their still more
Industrious grandmothers, says the
/ New York World. The fad has become
SO well established that there is hardly
IA town or country house whose mistress
has not slowed away in some quiet
room set apart for her own use an an
tique spinning wheel, which differs
from the antique spinning wheel Of a
few years ago in that it is fully in re-
pair, and in the hands Of clever
manipulation can accomplish positive
wonders. It is surely pretty custom
that the mother of a family should
spend her mornings, or even an occa-
s1onal morning, surrounded by her
! daughters, all engaged in the presum-
ably pleasant and surely profitable oc-
| cupation of spinning Whether golf
stockings or anything else may be the
result, the process is so picturesque
and so agreeable that it ought surely
to be encouraged. Probably the begin.
ming of this custom in America may be
traced to the example of the Princess
of Wales, who learned to spin some
time since and has produced many as
tonishing evidences of her skill. The
Duchess of Fife is the latest prominent
convert to the craze, her wheel being

The Maiden's Sorrow.

Thought of thy fate in the distant west,
Dying with none that loved thee near.
They who flung the earth on thy breast
Turn'd from the spot without a tear.
There, I think, on that lonely grave,
Violets spring in the soft May shower;
Ihere in the summer breezes wave
Crimson ,phlox and moccasin flower.
There the turtles alight, and there
reeds with her fawn the timid doe;
There, when the winter woods are bare,
Walks the wolf on the cracking snow.
Soon wilt thou wipe my tears away;
All my task upon earth is done;
MY poor father, old and gray, +
SAUNDERS beneath the church-yard
stone. -#
In the dreams of my lonely bed,
Ever thy form before me seems;
All night long talk with the dead,
All day long think of my dreams.
This deep wound that bleeds and aches
This long pain, a sleepless pain
When the Father my spirit takes
1 shall feel it no more again.

Generally they are made of muslin

admitting that a simple skirt is less

that white dotted muslin and white

in one piece, with yoke, or sewed
on to a deep, plain bodice, so that
there will be no construction at the

girl of limited wardrobe finds so ser

The shape and style of this costume

coming months. It should have rath-
er wide skirt with the fullness carried

off straight at the waist. The ma

be braided. The sleeves are small leg

sooner did the tariff bill become law
than the almost dormant Industries OF
New Haven gave unmistakable signs OF
revived activity.
The New Haven Clock Company, which
since the passage of the Wilson law has
been running spasmodically, this morning
gave notice to its large forca in the move
meat department that they would be ex-
pected to work thirteen hours day until
further notice. The company recently re-
ceived large orders conditional upon the
passage of the bill. and this increase In
the number of hours fr ON ten TO thirteen
a day at remunerative wages is the result.
The Candee Rubber Company IS another
enterprise to manifest delight over the
settleme ent of the tariff question. Its 1890
employees were put on full time this moin-
ing. The COMPANY reports heavy orders
and is hopeful of brisk business for an in

WAS MISS BARRETT MURDERED
Deeper Grows the Mystev Connected
With the Tragic DeGth of the
Bockkse1ec

BOSTON, MASS, July 26.-A sensational
q discovery was made to-day in the inves-
tigation of the tragic death Saturday of
Miss Alice Barrett, bookkeeper for Goldman
& Goldman at 40 Kilby street. The mys-
terry of the strange affair. grows hourly
deeper, and there is great interest in the
case. 1t WAS officially declared that the
building was not set on fire by lightning
at all, and that the fire was started in the
small washroom. Charred pieces OF paper
were found in this closet and tae authori-
ties say that there is no doubt that the fire
was caused by the burning of these papers,
which were probably letters. 1t is also
rumored that the cashbook was burned
up. Examination proved to-day thai the
contents of the safe were intact with the
exception of the cashbook.
Rumors OF murder are increasing. Not
only the members of her family believe in
this theory, but her late employer, Mr..
Goldman, and w. II. Foss, who was until
recently engaged to her. Both in inter-
views to-day scout the suicide theory and
declare that it was impossible, notwith-
standing the fact that clerk of the John
P. Lowell Arms Company to-day viewed
that of the girl 10 whom he sold q revolver
Friday afternoon.
Mrs. Barrett says that the proposal that
Alice loan to friend OF the family the
sum of $500 was discussed, and she
made no objection. What troubles the
family is The calm in Alice's letter TO the
effect that the person who now has the
money is out of the country. The man
who borrowed the money originally is
still here and the family has confidence in
him. They were at loss to account for
the statement in the dead girls letter.
The mystery is: Who set the tiree Was
it done to conceal the evidence of mur-
der? Did Miss Barrett do it herself, and
if so was it Intentional or accidental?
The murder theory is that the note was
written by Miss Barrett under com pulsion.
The police late tonight discovered that
man had been seen running away from
the Office Just before the tragedy.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, July 26.-The
report of the commission appointed by the
Governor to investigate the condition of
the striking coal-miners was filed with the
executive to-day. They find that the
present conditions have been brought
about by repeated reductions in wages
and quote operators to show that sharp
competition between them had caused the
reductions and brought about the condi-
tions of which the miners complain. The
committee finds that there are many fam
lilies in mining districts entirely dependent
On local charity, ana actual suffering has
been prevented only by the relief thus ex-
tended.
"Considering necessities on the basis of
families" says the report, 1--WE find that
if the present condition of idleness shall
continue much longer, the idle mining
camps in six counties will have 1947
families in need of relief, with an average
of four to the family. This would require
that relief be furnished 77SS persons. to
say nothing of miners having no families,
many of whom are in hard lines"
Immediately following the submission
of the report, the Governor consulted
with the Com mssioners and determined
to issue an appeal to the people of the
State for aid.

Uniformity Plan to Be
Discussed by the
Operators.
Evident Desire for a Terminal

Conflict.
coioneI Rend Doubts the Success of
the Scheme, but Is willing to
Try IT.

PITTSBURG, Pa, July 26.-There will
be a large attendance of coal operators at
the meeting ut the Courthouse tomorrow.
To-day they have gathered from Cleve-
land and Chicago, and most Of them talk
as if they would do their utmost 10 put
through a uniformity agreement.
Colonel W. P. Rend of Chicago thinks
the meeting will not be on lines broad
enough, and he will endeavor to
have the wages question included. The
colonel claims that uniformity practically
exists, although he admits that some of
the operators still run company stores.
He said:
"What is this uniformity agreement to
me, anyhow? The strike in Illinois is not
caused by the same grievances as IN Penn
sylvania. Different means will have to
be consid cred to settle it there. AS far as
the uniformity plan itself is considered, l
am in favor of what 1t advocates. | con-
troll no company store and pay every two
weeks in cash. What more do the miners
want? They want an increase in wages.
The conditions which caused the strike in
Illinois were that the operators OF south
ern Illinois cut prices so deeply that the
operators in Northern Illinois were COM
pelled to cut wages in order to compete.
That's where the whole trouble lies. and L
am sure a uniformity agree will have
no effect upon it. However, | am willing
to agree to uniformity if it is The only
means of settling the strike"
In a telegram from Cincinnati it is
stated that the coal business of that city
is entirely controlled by Jones & Sons of
Pittsburg, and that coal there is bringing
50 so a ton, with prospect of going up TO
So. 1t is stated that Jones & Sons own
1000, 900 bushels of coal. Another 1,000.
600 bushels is owned by other operators
This amount OF coal is at present in Gin

1t was only rumor that deputies would
go to De Armitt's mines last night. The
strikers did not march on the mines, as
reported.
ALTOONA, Pa, July 26.-About 500
miners in the Hastings coal district struck
to-day because they are required to dig
one car in five for the superintendent, for
which they receive no pay. Two foreign
miners who threatened to burn a coal tip
pie were arrested and their comrades
threaten a riot if they are not released.
Superintendent Musser of the Cambria

with which to arm guards.
