Tierney pitched the four last innings
without q run being made OF him. The

try, '''Wherein does virtue pay?' When
Is il aught else than a drug in the mar
ket of life? We frankly admit that in
a vast number of cases-and so far
as this life is coneerned-virtue is a
losing game, a game in which vice
more than oftentimes holds the win
ming trump. Your nymph du pave,
the woman of the street, has her plea

which she goes On her way rejoicing.

woman who eschews the pavement,

sive appurtenances. And your i'm

man, she who is decorum itself. de-
mands, as a reward for the loss of her
chastity. true and honorable mar
riage. But the grand motif, as the
French say, is in each case identical.
Ones sensitive ear is now and again
offended by the uttorance of that very
inelegant, but exceedingly expressive,
phrase-"leg-pulling.' TO the initiated
this phrase possesses an ocean OF
meaning. Let us, however, adopt a
more refined order of speech, and say
that the grand motive in each case is
the elongation of the limb of either
this or that luckless individual.
Mrs Langtry, after running the
whole gamut Of life's pleasures, seems
to have arrived at the conclusion that
an alliance with a prospective title is
the be all and end all of life. The
leaf, Incidental to a Ducal
coronet. is not hers to share. But,
then, the title of Lady de Bathe, which
title may eventuate somewhere in the
near OF remote future, beats nothing
into fits. Mrs. Langtry is reported as
saying: Il hope the American news
papers will speak nicely of my mar
riagc for love the people OF that
country" Indeed! Perhaps another
American tour is on the tapis In that
case, the prurlent portion of the Amer
lean public will fire its dollars at the
box office to gaze upon the classic,

END OF STRIKE is IN SIGHT
Disagreement at Pnna Will Probably
BE Settled to Satisfaction of
All Concerned.

PANA, Ill, April 29.-Indications tonight
are that the coming week will see the end
of the miners strike, which, for the last
thirteen months, has kept this part of the
state in a turmoil, has cost twenty lives by
riot and encounters, growing out of con-
slant friction between union and non-union
workmen, and has cost the state thousands
Of dollars in the maintenance of a military
guard. Daniel ]. Keefe, president of the
State Labor board; Banker Schuyler. repre-
senting the mine owners, and officers Of
the United Mine Workers have held several
conferences within the last few days to
arrange plans for settlement.
The result has not been made public, but
tonight Thomas d. Kelligar, a member of
the State Labor bureau, said: "The trouble
will soon be satisfactorily settled and union
miners Will be reinstated in the mines. My
understanding is the union will be recog-
nized, the negroes will be sent back to Ala
bama and the scale will either be mutually
agreed upon between the operators and
miners or left to the State Arbitration

MOTHER AND SON ARE BURNED
Disastrous Results of a Prairie Fire
Driven by the Wind Near
Harrington.

HARRINGTON. Neb, April 2s.-(special
Telegram )-one of the worst wind storms
that this vicinity has had for years occurred
yesterday and last night During the storm
Mrs. r. Lundgren, living seven miles east
of here, tried to stop a prairie fire, and
she and her 6-year-old boy were burned in
horrible manner. Before help could arrive
from the city the woman was dead and the
child is not expected to live long. She was
30 years old and leaves a husband and four
small children to mourn her death.
In the same neighborhood the fire burned
up everything belonging to several farmers,
including a good sized herd Of cattle. In
the north part of the county fire started
from an old burning straw stack and nearly
dozen farmers lost everything they had.
