Representatives of Labor OrKan1za-
tiOns VIII See Mr.. POwderly.
About the last of this month Commis-
sioner Powderly of the immigration bureau
will give a hearing to a committee Of the
labor organizations Of New York. headed
by the Knights Of Labor. The committee
also represents nearly all the labor organi-
cations on the Pacific coast.
Early in the present year the labor or
ganizations of the Pacific coast, in New
York and elsewhere began to discuss the
subject of Chinese immigration and the
violation of the exclusion act The labor
leaders believe that the exclusion act is
being daily violated and that Cinnamon are
entering this country without trouble. The
labor leaders want to do something to put
a stop to this immigration. and they ap-
pointed committee to confer with the
commissioner of immigration.
The matter was put off for various rea-
sons until after the election. The object
of the organizations is to obtain a co-opera-
ton of the immigration bureau and the la
Dor bodies, believing that violations of the
law often come to the knowledge Of laborers
that are not pushed and spoken of. II the
organizations cooperate with the immi-
grafton officials, 1t is thought, all members
of labor bodies will make 1t their business
to watch for violations Of the law and to
assist in their detection.

Mystery of q Lost Ring.

day which believe has never been In print,
although such may be the case. A we'll
known society woman suddenly missed a
valuable diamond ring from her finger. II
was a ring she seldom removed, but all
that could be remembered about 1t was that
she had Just washed her hands. Fearing It
had slipped off in the operation the plumber
was quickly called in and all the traps
opened, with the faint hope of finding the
Jewel but without avail. and sorrow reigned
In the household. for the diamond was not
only intrinsically valuable, but dearly
priced souvenir Some time later the set
bowl in the bath room had to be re-
placed and when 1t was removed, 10 and be-
held, crowded in behind the water pipes
was the skeleton Of a mouse. and round
the skeletons thread Of neck hung dia-
mond ring. Identification was immediate
and the mystery quickly. cleared up by the
poor little beast. He had feasted on box
of bran which milady kept to whiten her
fair hands and into which she undoubtedly
dropped the ring. Mousie, through vanity
or accident, slipped it over his head, but in
trying to escape with the loot he died a
felcn's death.

Maine Politicians Think He Wants to
Go to Senate.
A dispatch from Augusta, Me-, last night
says: surprise was sprung upon the
Maine republicans today by the resignation
to take effect in January, of ]. H. Manley
from the state comma ttee,i on which he has
served for twenty years. sixteen of them as
its chairman. He forwarded his resignation
to Secretary Boyd Of the committee to-
night. He refers to the uninterrupted VIC
tories of the party during his administra-
ton. to which he points with pride, and
gives as reason for his resignation that
some younger man should be the chair
man. = IL
The politicians however. don't ascribe
the step he has taken to this. but rather
to his ambition for a aicareer Of a more ex-
tended character. 1t ,is freely talked here
tonight that in the event of Senator
Frye's entrance into the cabinet, and
there Is good ground for believing that he
will do so. Mr.. Manley will be a candidate
for the United States Senate to fill the va
cancy. 1t Is believed he would win against
all comers, although he has enemies in
the state. Since the national campaign, In
which he achieved SO much prominence
his position has been greatly strengthened
in Maine, even the old. friends of Thomas
B. Reed saying good things Of him. The
former enemies Of Mr.. Blaine in Maine, who
have never had a cordial feeling for Mr.
Manley, have been falling into line since
the close OF the national campaign, and
many OF them would support him for sena-
tor or any other place in the gift OF the
state.

Christ. Its proper resting place, he be-
lieved, is In the sacred precincts of the
church. Rain from the heavens and grind
ing boot heels are wearing the stone away.
The flagstone is eight feet In length and
three feet wide. The cross runs almost
straight through the block The arms in
tersect at the north, forming a perfect
Roman cross. The width Of the formation
is about five inches.
A plan now on foot is to saw out the
cross, chip away the granite, smooth the
ragged edges and polish the surface Geol-
ogists and mining engineers say this pro-
cedure is unsafe If the cross would be pre-
served. The safest plan, in their opinion,
is to saw the block, leaving an eight-inch
margin of granite to secure the formation
1t is pointed out that such a margin would
make a fitting background for the buff
colored polished cross.
If the unsentimental paving department
grants permission to remove the stone some
Catholic church will shortly receive a
gift a handsomely polished cross in its
natural setting. made by nature herself. 1t
will cost fully $400 to do the work and re-
place the stone.

Details Given In n Letter From Gov
ernOr Allen.
Assistant Secretary Hackett of the Navy
Department has received a personal letter
from Gov. Allen of Porto Rico, describing
briefly the great work attending the first
general election in the new possession.
1t proved no small task to bring the peo-
pie Of the island up to a proper understand
ing of the Importance and significance Of
the occasion. They had always been gov
erned by military rule, and the privilege OF
the elective franchise was something new
to them. There was a total registry Of
122,0OO. AS rule the federals refrained
from voting. The republicans had ma
jority of 6O.00O and elected every member
of the legislature.
Great interest is shown in the meeting Of
the legislature on the Sd proximo, 1t
will be the first time in its history that
the people of the island have had op-
portunity for legislating for themselves.

extremely warm Of late. but notwithstand-

The Only Female Letter Carrier.

From Leslie's Weekly.
Uncle Sam has formally received into his
service. as United States mail carrier. the
eighteen-year-old daughter Of a West Vir-
ginia farmer. Miss Dora Wolfe had served
little apprenticeship to the duties with
which she is now officially invested by car
rying the mail between Ripley and Sandy
Vile, W. Va, during the Illness Of the
former postman, and when the latter re-
signed she made successful application for
the vacant position. The trip which she
must make daily-one journey each way
between the above named points is through
a somewhat lonely region. Miss Wolfe
makes it upon horseback. AS her father,
besides being a farmer, conducts a livery
stable, she has good mounts at her dis
posal, and carries always two bags of mail.
People have not yet quite accustomed
themselves to the sight of the young letter
carrier as she passes daily by their fields
and farm houses from her home at Ripley
and back again. No one would doubt the
chivalry of the West Virginian noun
taineers, especially when handsome girl
is concerned, but Miss Dora Wolfe always
goes armed when she transports the United
States mails in her charge. If merely as
measure of ordinary precaution.
