A BRIGHT CHAP.
Papa Zimmerman IS Delighted With His
 Son-in-LaW.

New York, November 26.-Eugene zim- merman. whose daughter was married to the Duke of Manchester a week or so ago In England was interviewed here today, He said 10 a reporter:
 'I have come here to meet my daughter and her husband. After they have rested here few days we will go to Cincinnati and a reception will be given at my home. The Duke Is d bright chap. He's a fine, manly fellow. I like a man who went to work as he did as a newspaper man when he was here. Some of his articles were first-rate, too. Al no time was I opposed to his marriage to my daughter. Those stories are all moonshine."
 'Is 1t true that the duke is in bad way f1nancialy?" asked the reporter.
 ''I guess there won't be any difficulty about his debts. Not at all Does it make any difference? I don't care to speak about the marriage portion That is private matter. But there won't be any trouble about debts. They will be-well- that's all right, all right"
 down in America and enter the railroad business?"
 No, no; the duke Is going into British politics. He is entitled to a seat in the House of Lords and he Is going to turn his attention to politics."

NJ CHANGE IN THE
 STRIKE SITUATION
Both Sides Standing Firm-The Newspaper Scale Signed
 Job Offices Are Idle

The strike situation among the job print CTS remains unchanged and with no ef- forts on the part of either side to bring about a settlement of the trouble.
 The job offices which were closed last Fri day on account of the strike have not been able to resume work yet, although the pro- prietors claim they will be able to do so in few days. Agents have been sent to other cities to secure men to take the place of the strikers, but far as known none have yet arrived in Birmingham The strikers claim that the companies will not be able to secure competent men to take their places.
 All the daily newspapers signed contracts with the Typographical Union yesterday, and whatever fear there may have been of strike in these offices was dispelled.
 The Pratt City Herald signed the scale yesterday.

A MILLIONAIRE TRAMP.
Some Curious Traits In the Character
 of the Late James Tyson.

Of the eccentricites of the late James Tyson, the Australian, whose hoarded mill lions have just descended to a girl farm helper in California, some very interesting stories are told; but his most eccentric habit, perhaps, was that of purchasing extensive sheep runs and cattle stations in the names of agents, so as to conceal the identity of the real owner Disguised as a tramp with billy" in hand and pack on back, he would trudge from one of these properties to another observing the way In which they were managed, and through his agents, subsequently, raising the sal aries of dismissing the managers. as it suited his pleasure.
 For a long time the comparatively luxuri- ous living managers did not suspecr the identity of their occasional tramp visitor, and treated him with the usual scant ceay- tesy meted out to those of his impersonaied character. Of this, however, Tyson s pe- culiar sense. of justice never harbored re- sentiment; but woe betde the man in whom he observed lslackness in duty.
 At last this habit of hIs became kccYp to his managers, when thenceforward tramps on Tyson's runs had no reason to complain of a lack of hospitality.

MRS. p. B. SHAFFNER.
She Gets $13,sSa For Posing Her Per
 feet Form.

From the Chicago American. f
 In return for a few hours posing for one of the great living French artists, Mrs. P. B. Shafner now stopping at the Yelling ton Hotel, is to receive the sum of $13,3S3 A communication announcing the sale of t--e painting, which took first prize in the art exhibition at the Paris Exposition, was received yesterday by Mrs Shaffner.
 The canvas was purchased by promi- nent New York millionaire, who parted with $40,000 to secure the prize. It is called a Nineteenth Century Gainsborough,' and shows the full figure of woman in eyen- ing dress on a canvas nineteen by fourteen feet.
 The color scheme is yellow and pink. For the gown the artist has chosen the former, and, according to critics, has pro- duced textures that well nigh perfect. The flesh tnts, upon which the Paris jury really made the aWord, are said to be equal to the best known to the art world
 Mrs Shaffner has been a model from the time she was years old when her name was Danna Isabella Hearne, but she has for this particular one. According to the agreement with the artist she was to have d third interest in the picture in ad dition to salary
 q always work in this way now" said Mrs. Shaffner with a smile, "becauSe my time is never idle. l have been fortunate in being endowed with a figure which ar lists choose to call perfect and a face which fits well into portraits.
 For the last itteeen years most of my residence has been abroad. Both in France and in Germany the demand for my ser vices has been unceasing, and for that req son l suppose much as any other, l have been able to dictate a bit as to the rather important part of compensation. Of late 1 have posed mostly in Paris and New York city.
 ''I leave Chicago next week for New York, where for eight weeks I shall be oc- cupied four hours a day in the studio of the distinguished sculptor Anthony Schwaback. He has a commission to eXe- cute a large, fine figure group to be named Evening I shall pose, in the nudo, for the center figure, about which will be grouped four cherubs in marble.
 Few persons realize the difficulties at tached to the work of a model or they would not think one who receives several thousand dollars for series of posings overpaid. Even with the natural endow- ments some persons fail to succeed in this branch of art work. It takes sympa thy, in- terest in the subject, intelligence and physi- cal endurance to climb to the topmost round of the ladder, and l would advise no one to undertake the profession who Is not willing to toll"

fNEiN1fhiONN bHENN-AH
 'In your article suggesting Thanksgiv- ing offerings" said a phllanthropic Blrm- ingham woman yesterday, please mention the rooms of the free klndergartens that are so in need of pictures to brighten the walls Almost every woman has pictures in her house for which she has no special need and that probably she has stored in the attic to make space for handsome pict- ures.
 If she only realized how much she could add to the appearance of the rooms of the free kndergartens by sending a picture or two, I am sure that she would be able to find many attractive little pictures stored that have been in her attic until she has forgotten them. Or if a woman has no pictures turned to the wall,' and yet feels imbued with the spirit of giving at this particular season, suggest to her that she could not do a more beautiful and thoughtful act than to purchase an attractive little picture to adorn the walls of the free kindergartens where the chil- dren of the poor are getting their first glimpse of beauty and brightness. We have so many things in our own luxurious homes that could be spared without one missing them, and yet we do not realize that much of it could be used to far great CT advantage if one only remembered the poor as we should. A woman has what she calls a thinning out and her attic becomes crowded with useless furniture and clothes but if on these thinning out days a woman would carefully look over everything that could possibly be utilized and then send the best to some charitable fns titution she would do most generous act.
 q have always thought the appeal made by the creche to the mothers of Birming- ham suggesting that they send some of the clothes of their own little ones to the children at the Mercy Home was beaut- ful suggestion and the response that al- ways comes indicates the broader mother hood. And so in your Thanksgiving sug- gestions do not forget the bare walls at the free kindergartens and dwell upon the pleasure the pictures would give to the little ones who gather there every day.
 Miss Woodruff, the superintendent of the free kindergarten, will gladly receive any donations of this nature.
