Kisses FOR THE HIGH HAT.
Deities of the Upper Balcony Give
Aid TO Plotke

Chicago Record: 1t was "Plotke" night
at the Columbia theatre Sunday. Dewolf
Hopper didn't know it when he went be-
hind the scenes for the opening perform
ance OF ''El Captain" Nat Goodwin didn't
know it either when he sat down in one
of the boxes. Miss Make Elliott likewise
was in ignorance when she took seat
beside Mr.. Goodwin. There were others
who lacked the knowledge, for Police
man Jerry Sullivan. who usually gives
the theatre patrons tip on the good
things, had not said a word. 1t was n
decree of the gallery gods"
Long before Mr.. Hopper donned the trap
pings of lei Captain he was made to
feel that Aid. Plotke's name was potent
in the body of the playhouse Mr.. Good
win discovered also that there were sew
eral persons in the theatre who believed
that Mayor Swift had signed the alder
mans latest effort Presented to the coun-
ell. Miss Elliott and the scores of others
had the veil of ignorance withdrawn, and,
because the gods decreed. they con-
formed to the necessity of the occasion.

seats close under the roof of the play

the parquet and balconies began to fill.
Then they announced that it was
'Plotke' night.
The announcement came when Il woman.

down the center aisle of the parquet, and
sat down in one of the best seats.

100 voices from the gallery. The woman

See a Doctor Because it Would
Cost a Few Dollars.
Egg Harbor City, n. J., Jan. I'll
George Fuchs, a wealthy German who
lived in an old tumble down shanty
near Germanla, three miles from this
city, died yesterday. He had been
suffering from pneumonia, but had re-
fused to see a doctor, because, as he
said, the doctor would charge for his
calls. Yesterday morning, Fuchs
started to walk from his home to this
place. About 10 o'clock he was found
unconscious on the road. He was
taken back to his home and a doctor
summoned. The sick man died within
short time. Fuchs was a miser. He
owned about 500 acres of land near
here and only recently received a leg
acy of $4,000 marks from Germany.
When his house was searched yester-
day afternoon, 81 500 in cash and gilt
edge securities, valued at $4,000, to-
gether with other valuable papers,
were found. His estate is estimated
to be worth at least $15O,000. He was
Y years old. A viii was found which
gives the entire estate to a niece liv-
ing in Berlin. Germany.

then she laid her massive headgear in

gallery gods and prepared to enjoy
the play.
Now the women were entering the
theatre by the score. This shout fell
on the ears of the diamond-decked and
siik-attired patrons: Send Plotke into
the box"
Miss Elliott was just taking a seat be-
side Mr.. Goodwin. She smiled graciously
and attention was attracted from her
by the remark: There's a big one and
the appearance of a theatre party at the
middle of the circle. It's a regular
flower garden, too" Take it off" Look
at it,
The woman removed the hat. So did al
most all the other women in the house,
and when the curtain rose almost every
head was bare and the gallery gods
were shouting, Great is Plotlle."

Special to the Kansas City Times
WASHINGTON, July 1.-The great strike
OF the United Mine Workers OF America
for living wages and q bit of Mckinley
prosperity will be fruitful theme for
discussion in Congress this week. Prob
ably tomorrow or Tuesday resolutions
will be introduced in the Senate and
House urging the President to appoint
an arbitration commission to settle, if
possible, the points Of difference between
the operators and the 250,00O coal miners
out on strike in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Indiana, Illinois and West Virginia.
Many members of both houses favor
the suggestion Of arbitration in this, one
Of the greatest labor contests of recent
years, and there will be number of
warm champions Of the proposition.
Senator Mark Hanna is said to favor
it. He is very much alarmed over the
situation and most anxious for some
sudden turn which will remove what
what promises to be formidable obstacle
in his path,
With Senators Hanna, Quay, Fairbanks,

the customs of the American. spt aking
miner, and the latter has very little in.
tluence over him.
One Of the points made by the oper-
ators is that more mining companies
have gone into the hands OF the Sheriff
this year than during any year in the
history Of the trade.
"Ihere are too many mines," said Pat
rick Dolan, mot too many miners. 1t is
the surplus Of operators that causes such
sufferings and low wages"
The officials Of the United Mine Work
ers Of the Pittsburg district held meet
ing to-day and heard reports from
various parts Of the district. Each Of
these indicated tERt the men would quit
work. The question Of securing susie
nance for the vast army ofidle men is the
most serious question confronting the
officials. The organization has no money
in it's treasury. The miners have been
unable to save anything. and only those
who have little garden patches will be
able to live independently during the
cessation of work.
The exodus from the fourth pool to
West Virginia has begun. The West
Virginia operators are hiring miners as
fast as they apply for work. Those who
wish immunity from trouble seek safety
by fight into West Virginia, where the
miners will work unmolested. Scores
of small mines in Beaver, Mercer, Law
renee, Cambria and other counties,
which have been practically idle, will
resume operations in full to supply coal
to factories and shops in their districts.
Taking the CanneIton coal field In
Beaver County into consideration, the
Thompson's Run in Lawrence County,
and the numerous mines in Mercer
County, there will be no shutdown OF
industries in these counties. During
the strike Of 1894 all Of these mines
closed down.
