Herself.


New York, Feb. 2l.-Like Moses of
old, the baby in this story was hidden by
his mother at the bank of a river Only.
Instead of nesting romantically among
the bullrushes with Il tropic sky over
head, this babe was thrust under a lum
Der pile, while the rain from bleak sky
formed mud puddle under his drippiup
robe.
That was the last j G hanna Miller hoped
to see of her child, or of any earthly
thing, for she went immediately and
threw herself into the river ut the foot
OF East Twenty sixth street.
The problem confronting the woman
was more than she had the wit or the
means to solve, She had just teen turned
loose from Bellevue Hospital, with her

in her arms.
Johanna Miller's plans were foiled by
hoy. who saw her Jump into the wa

and the watchmnn yelled for police

Spencer pulled on his tunc and threw

woman.
And so Johanna Miller was dragged
back to face reality, after seeing the Dor
der of shadow land. ltwas yer I'm
pleasant reality-very cold and damp and
cheelless. Half AN hour after leaving
Bellevue Hospital she was back there
again, only In the prison ward this time.
The baby WAS back, too, in the chlidren's
ward.
The East river seems destined to play
an important part in the fortune OF

Minor Concessions Were Made, But it.
Was a Victory for Mill Owners.
Fall River, Fep. 2l.-The strike at
King Phillips mill is over. In accord
auce with their action at their meeting
on Saturday, when they voted to return
to work, the spinners entered the mill
this morning, and the mills were cnce
more put into operation. The result
shows it was n victory for the mill men,
They consented to GDnfei with the opera
lives, hut III no time since the trouble
began were they willing to any conces.
sions The gates were always open and
the places Of the strikers were not filed,
but no indUcement was offered to the
cpinners. The concessions amounted to
nothing. They could have been secured
before the strike was inaugurated.
Agent Chase said, when fiji st asked to Ie-
store wages, he could not because of his
agreement with the manufacturers. La
ter he guaranteed that the cut would not
exceed / 10 per cent. Strikecost opera
lives in wages $25, 900. 1t cost the mill
owners less, aud the loss was made up
by manufacturers. Operatives still con
tend that the reduction is unjust and say
they will resist at mole opportune lime.
but it Is believed il Improvement in the
marKet continues ALI men will return to
old scale before any strike is started. In
the opinion of many it will not be long
before conditions will warrant an in
crease in wages.

THE POSTMASTERSHIP.
Harris Hoge Will Get the Roanoke
Plum.

Col. j. w. Hartwell returned yesterday
from Washington where he has been for
several days on business In speaking
of th" Roanoke misunderstanding the Col.
one. said that the matter was already
settled beyond the possibility of doubt.
He said that henppointment had already
been made by the president and that Mr..
Harris lloge was the lucky man. All
that is needed to make Mr. Dupuy's sue
cessor reality il the sending Of the
name of Mr.. Hoge to the Senate and its
ratification by that body. There is no
likelihood that the Senate will full to con-
firm the appointment Mr.. Hartwell
says that the appointment will 0n to The
Senate in the regular order of business
which may be to-day or tomorrow and
ii might be II week before the official nm
nounce'nent Of the appointment is made.
1t is understood that Col. ]. Ham pton
Hoge was named bv National Comittee-
man Scott for the position of district at
torney aud upon going to the President
with the recommendation President Nc
Kinley then refused to ratify Mr.. Scott's
choice for the attorneyship. When
Committeeman Scott informed Mr.. Hoge
of the Presidents decision, he at once
asked the privilege of being allowed to
name his local postmaster, it being I'M
derstood that he would not name himself
for the position. The privilege is said
to have been granted 10y the President
and Mr.. Hoge proceeded to name his
brother. The matter has been IA great
surprise to ajority of the Republicans
in Roanoke, but now it is pretty we'll
conceded by all applicants for the posi-
tion that MIR. Hoge will be the lucky
