Woman is frequently accused of not
knowing her own mind. and man is
usually the accuser. He is fond of as
sorting that she is as changeable as the

rom New Hampshire in which a man
had his wife arrested and lodged in Jail
on a certain charge and then succeeded
in getting himself arrested for trying to
smuggle candy and love letters to her

SHAW'S TRIAL ENDS.
Brought to . Sudden Close by Reason 0
 Alleged Undue Influence.

Alleged Undue Influence.
 Camden, N. J., Jan. 5.-The trial of Eli Shaw on the charge of having mur- dered his mother and grandmother came to an abrupt end yesterday. The court machinery up to Tuesday night seemed to be moving steadily toward a decision of his fate, when suddenly it jolted and stopped, and the air vi- brates with the widest rumors as to the cause.
 At the opening of the session yester- day Judge Garrison announced that the trial would be abandoned and that the case would be tried at the appeal term of court. The only explanation made relative to this unusual action was couched in a few words to the effect that the defendant had asked that juror be withdrawn, and that after con- sultation with counsel for the defense and the county prosecutor the court had decided to grant the request. The case was put over the term, and the court adjourned.
 Justice Garrison stated that matters of much importance had been placed before him. He regretted to say that from an authentic source 1t had been learned that a lawyer, in an attempt to assist in clearing the defendant, had taken steps that laid him open to grave charges. Before the trial nearly the entire panel of jurors had been visited. The sentiments of many regarding the Shaw case had been learned. In addi- tion to this nearly all the witnesses had been called on, and in several instances threats had been used.
 Three witnesses had left the state, and of the 12 jurymen five were men who belong to the same secret or der as the defendant. There was no reason to believe that there had been anything wrong in connection with the selection of the jurors on the panel.

even during the China-Japan war was there such united feeling as is now to be observed among the educated Chi nese and masses. Japan Is stirred up by news from Picking saying that be- yond doubt Russia and France are ac- lively conspiring to procure the dismiss al of Sir Robert Hart, the English di- rector of the imperial Chinese customs
 The procedure followed resembles that pursued with reference to McLeavy Brown in Korea. It is believed that the Russian and French influence will prevail, as both powers are bent on se- curing the dismissal of Sir Robert Hart. There will be at least a reorganization of China's customs service and a di- vision of the offices between powers in proportion to the trade of each country with China.
 A number of newspapers in Japan and the Chinese maritime ports express the belief that the partition of China among the powers Is inevitable.

THREATENED STRIKE.
Pennsylvanis Coal Miners Dissatisfied
 over a Shutdown.

fennsylVant& Noal Miners Dtssatlsueu
 over a Shutdown.
 Dubois, Pa, Jan. 4.-The Rochester mine at this place was yesterday closed indefinitely the result of which has been to increase the dissatisfaction which has prevailed among the miners In this section. The miners claim that the shutdown is due to the operators desire to get rid of number of miners who have been active in organizing since the recent strike.
 The company, however, claims that the closing of the mine is because of misunderstanding with the land owners over the question of royalties, the mines being operated on the percentage plan. The dissatisfaction apparent here is also noticeable at Reynoldsville, where the mines are operated by the same company. At the latter place trouble is brewing over the collection of the check weighman's funds.
 The miners at both points are we'll or ganized, and there is a strong possi- bility that a midwinter strike will be inaugurated before long. over 600 men are affected by the shutdown at Roch- ester, of which but small number will be able to get work at other holdings.
 At Reynoldsville about 1000 men are idle. Should a strike be ordered. there will be much suffering among the min- CTS, as there Is a foot of snow on the ground and the thermometer has fallen to almost zero.
