cod clothes can afford TO ride In nar-
riags; II not In his own, then In hired
ones, cab fares being very cheap In for
eign cities. The majority OF women In
Europe cannot afford to wear COED
clothes. Thsy are not fashionable; they
kaow it; they make no effort TO be.
bslisve that most Of them do not care a
pin whethsr they are or not.
In America there are no walls between
fashionable and unfsshionable women,
only q few shifting SANDS. Every Amefi-
can woman, with a few exceptions that
prove the rule, thinks 1t quite probable
that the day after tomorrow she may be

innocent were cast. There is said to be
more boys than girls born in Bethlehem,
though the reverse is the case in other
places, and that they are more perfect
children than those of the surrounding
towns, because the Lord will make up

Wage Scale Unsettled.

Pittsburg, June 26.-AM the tin plate
works in the country will be closed at
midnight Friday, as a result of the fail
ure to settle on a wage scale at the con-
ference in Chicago. Fully $4,000 persons
will be thrown into idleness by the shut
down. The conference. which opened in
Chicago on Tuesday morning, closed Sat
urday evening at 6 O'Clock without arrlv-
ing at an agreement. The workers wage
committee, acting under Instructions, re-
ceived from the annual convention held
in Detroit last month. madeoa demand
for an advance of 20 percent. The pres
ent wage scale expires on June 80, and
members of the A~malsamated associa-
ton are not permitted to work after
that date unless the new scale is signed.
About $4,000 skilled workers are members
Of the association, II as many more are
dependent upon them and will be Idle

Nearly 90 per cent of the tn plate work
ers of the country are employed in west
ern Pennsylvania mills. The scale for
the tin house men and unskilled labor
was arranged several weeks ago, and pro-

workers, n averages nearly 20 per cent.

Some of them may continue in operation,
but it is not likely that they will.
Secretary Williams of the Amalganat-
ei association stated today that all ne
gotiations are Off for the present, and
that the matter will hav to be referred
back to the subordinate lodges. Mr.. Will
Jams said that the manufacturers offered
them an advance, but it was not as much
as they wanted, and as the committee
had no authority to do anything except
what the convention decided upon in De-
troit, just a month ago, the conference
was Brought to an end. 1t would be i'm
possible, he said, to refer the matter back
to the subordinate lodges this week,

A Deadly Shell.

Chicago, June PA special to the
Chronicle from Washington says: A
shell of terrific explosive power, with a
capacity to annihilate by bursting frag-
ments and a shock as effective as a
streak of lightning, will be the feature of
the fall campaign in the Philippine
islands. Tests of the charge of this ter
rlble engine of war are being made at
Sandy Hook, the government guarding
closely its secret of manufacture. A
shell of this nature, charged with an ex-
ploslve equal to melinite or dynamite fall
ing near q battalion of the enemy, would
cripple a very large percentage of the
battalion. The chances of escape from
this tremendous machine will be de-
creased 100 times, experts say, as COM
pared with schrapnel discharged at the
same object.

The Government Victory.

New York, Jun 27.-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Tribune, discussing the
victory of the government, says: The
constitutional republic has had a narrow
escape. The majority of 26 is attributed
to the timely Intervention of M. BrissOn,
who succeeded in stemlming the tide,
which, after M. Mirman's fierce on
slaught, seemed about to sweep the cab
met away. The deafening shouts of
"Nive la Commune!'' and "Assassin!''
with which the socialists greeted the
Marquis de Gallifot, are considered the
gravest revolutionary symptom which
has occurred in the chamber for many
years. The victory won by the cabinet
assures a strong executive government
until the conclusion of the Dreyfus court
martial, but moderate republicans like
Ribot declare that the real danger Will
come from the socialists. who now. for
the first time, participate in the actual
government, who fully realize their in
creasing power and who never before
have been SO exacting. Nationalist re-
actionists openly confess that it is
through the socialists that they hope to
destroy the republic and eventually to
win the day.
According to information received at
the ministry of marine. Dreyfus is not
expected to arrive before Saturday or
Sunday.

Story OF Suffering on the
Edmonton Trail
MANY PEOPLE Persisted
From Cold, Exposure, Starvation and
the SCurvy--Reiief Was Sent to
the Men Who Are Unable to Get
Out Of the District.

Seattle, Wash, June 27.-W. H. Doolit-
tie of Irvington, N. j., mas arrived here
after undergoing a series of fearful ex-
%periences during the past year. He was
one of those unfortunate ones who at
tempted to enter the Alaskan gold fields
over the Edmonton trail. After an un-
successful effort to get in he returned
to Telegraph creek. out Of food and just
able to make his wants known. Speak
ing of the scenes witnessed by him at
Telegraph creek, he said:
Il have Witnessed Deople coming in
with hands and feet frozen. starving and
suffering with scurVy, all telling the same
story OF hardship ans suffering in the
Lard coU-try. y party of II men was
on It's way to Telegraph creek. Five led
to break a trail through the snow, and
the other nine followed. A heavy snow
storm came UP and the nine behind be-
came lost. No trace OF them has since
been found. A week before l left for
Seattle men arrived from Teslin with the
news that three men had been found
dead in a cabin at Moose lake. They al
died from scurvy. They were two Alli-
son brothers of Kent, England, and Car
ter of New Zealand. Nine hundred dol
lars was found in the cabin. Later in
May, Porter, the government agent at
Telegraph creek, sent in a relief party
to the Lard district. consisting of two
indian guides and four white men. They
had a scoW load of provisions. It was
reported just before 1 left that the scow
had reached the district and distributed
the food to the neady people, of whom
there were about 500. l cannot describe
the terrible suffering 1 endured on the
trail and it is a wonder to me that so
many come out alive"
