The idea originated in 1861. when q
famine followed an epidemic; the WON.
on became aroused en- masse, ordered
the men to seek large cities and search
for work, the men returning only for
the holidays. The women transact all
of the business, levy the taxes, till the
soil. pay the shepherd. etc. All of the
work Is systcnatized, and after the
busy day every one assemblies In the
church square to hear reports Of com.
mon interest. The Mayor Of each town

most lovely of women and awarded her
the prize in the recent beauty contest that

would have driven Raphael to madness

glories, and her young life is merely d
history of marvellous success as ballet
dancer. Her features are of the type long

Her face is an exquisite one, a little long.
but dainty and pure in outlines. Her nose
and mouth are delicately chiseled ana
ideally perfect in shape. Her brow is saint
like ana her eyes are large, brown and soft
aud ever looking upward with an expires
sion of heavenly innocence. Her hair is
worn parted in the middle and combed over
the ears. making a semi-circle each side
of the face
Everyone says that the beauty of Cleo
de Merode IS to the beauty of other women
as the loVelness of the most exquisite
orchid compared to that of a garden rose.

Chambers can be brought in the trust the

should accede to the demands OF the work

the general body of workers is dissatisfied
with the failure to fix the scale, and that

TWO TRAINS SEIZED.

Riding to Marching.

WELLSTON, o., Aug. 23.-Seven hundred
miners, headed by three brass bands,
tagged a mixed freight and passenger train
on the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton road
this morning at d crossing in the southern
part Of this city. The train came to a stop
and was boarded by the men, then the
trainmen refused to proceed, and backed
the train to the depot, where they were or
dered by officials of the road to proceed The
miners were en- route to Oak HILL where
there was a mine in full operation Arriv-
ing at Oak Hill the strikers marched to the
mine and demanded that the men come out
This the men did, but not before being as
Sured that no harm was intended If they
conducted themselves right The men then
held a meeting and informed the strikers
that they would not work until the strike
was settled. The men were then compelled
to march with the strikers through the prin-
ctpal street of Oak Hill.
Returning to Wellston, the strikers cap
tured a Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern
freight train. Its conductor at first refused
to move his train, but went on to Wellston
when informed that the miners were going
to stay on board until he did move This
is the second time that the strikers have
taken the men out Of the Oak Hill mine and
they informed them if they were compelled
to make third trip they would make 1t I'M
pleasant for them. Trouble is feared if any

Hats for Horses.
Philadelphia Time


Visitors to Atlantic City usually enjoy a
good laugh at the donkey hitched 20 the
hOkey-pokey wagon because the animal
wears a straw hat over his head. The
beast is dressed otherwise in a ridiculous
fashion, and the intention of the driver is
to attract the gaze of probable purchasers
of his wares. But it would be Well if eV-
cry horse that is compelled to labor N the
hot sun were supplied with similar head
gear.
In France the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals has urged the plac-
ing of straw coverings over the heads of
beasts of burden, and statistics show that
the summer mortality among horses in that
country has greatly decreased. The hats
have q. high crown and a broad brim like
the straw bathing hats used in the United
States, and although the horse at first
looks ridiculous with this covering, his life
is probably saved many times
An equally as good and humane covering
for horses head is a wet sponge. but this
Is liable to become dry and hot in a short
time and leaves much exposed. If some
kind driver take the lead in placing a straw
hat on his horse he will have many imi-
tatOrs. and there will not be so many OF the
noble animals fall in the street and die dur
ing the hot summer.

EXCUSE FOR DOUBL EMURDER.
Mr.. Rooney "'Did Not Propose to Be
Made n Guy OF by Woman"

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 23.-William
Rooney, aged about twenty-five years, of
1924 North Fifth street, tonight shot and
instantly killed AlphOnse Picard, aged
twenty-five years, and shot and seriously
wounded Verona Callheim, aged about
nineteen years. The motive for the crime
was jealousy. Rooney attempted to escape.
but was captured by Policeman Tyson and
citizen. When taken to the station
Rooney's only excuse was that "he did not
propose to be made a guy of by woman"
Picard was the manager of bicycle store
at No. 1873 Girard avenue, and had just
come out of the place, accompanied by the
young woman. They had gone but a few
steps when Rooney approached and opened
fire. The first two shots went through
Picard's heart and he fell dead. Three
shots were then fired at Miss Callheim.
Two struck her in the breast, and the
third on the right side of the head. AS
near as can be learned Rooney and Picard
were paying attentions to the girl and Miss
Callheim showed faVoritesm for Picard.

washing was to be called for, every man
who was not on duty had a pretext to be
