Maryland Miners Threaten Strike.
Frostburg, Nd, April ga commit

ner and representing the United Mine
Workers, yesterday called on Superin-
tendent Randolph, of the Consolidated
Coal company, and demanded the re-
instatement of rs miners who were
suspended for attending labor meet
ing last Saturday Mr.. Randolph re-
fused the demand. A general meeting
of miners has been called for tomor-
row, and it is thought general strike
in the Georges Creek coal region will
be ordered. The men demand go in
stead of 80 cents for mining, but the
issue now has turned on what are al
legged to be unjust discharges. About
5000 are affected.

not in the attitude of forcing issues or
platforms. l will say, however, that
think the platform of the American
flag would cover most of the pending
national questions"
"The people will want to know what
you think of the silver question" was
suggested to him.
"The fact that am from Vermont"
said the admiral, fought to settle
that"
When asked whether he expected a
nomination by the Republican or DEM
ocratic party Admiral Dewey replied:
81 do not care to go into that
feature. I stand by my general state
ment. My ambition to be president
Is an honorable one.
Now tell me something about your
plans for the future" suggested the
reporter.
ION that point am not yet prepared
to make any statement" answered the
admiral. 81 am consulting with my
sued. When the proper time arrives
I will make a statement of my inten-
lions as to the future. and this will be
very soon.
Much comment has been INDUCED in
today by the public as to which of the
great political parties the admiral will
ally himself with and from whom he
expects to receive the nomination for
the presidency. To those who have
talked with him privately on the sub
ject and who are fully acquainted with
his views it is evident that he does
not expect a nomination to come from
the Republican party. Some say he
will accept nomination by the gold
Democrats.

blue serge coats and skirts are most
suitable. Cloth costumes are made Ell
Their with Elton Jackets or boleros. Mus

Outstanding Ears.

The Disagreement of outstanding ears
should be checked in early childhood,
otherwise it is apt to be an obstinate
matter to overcome Various simple
little expedients may be resorted to in
order to accomplish the end aimed at.
For instance, a broad elastic strap or
webbing band passed from the lower
part of the back of the head obliquely
across the ears to the top of the brow
Will help to conquer the Disagreement.
This band can be worn at night or for
an hour or two during the day, or as an
alternative there is the special ear cap
which has been invented with the OBJ
ject of encouraging the ears to lie close
against the head. The muslin caps
which, years ago, babies used to wear
acted in great measure as preventives
against obtruding ears.

SEEN AT THE SUMMER SALES.


This year the models for day and
evening gowns seem prettier than ever.
The cloth gowns are in the most deli
cate pastel shades. strapped and stitch
ed in self or contrasting colors, with
facings of satin or embroidered silk and
vests of lace and chiffon.
A pretty evening gown of black net
is embroidered lightly on the skirt with
jet in horizontal lines, which terminate
in many founces, flowing out well at
the feet, the bodice of the same. softly
trimmed with tulle, of which the small
sleeves are composed.
The coats and skirts at the summer
sales are always a special item, as well
as the single coats, silk lined. The
shops have many of their new models
in furs to be sold at summer prices
One long fur coat, after the empire
style is made of such fine mink that it
is almost impossible to tell it from sa-

times faced with contrasting furs, are

charming array of neck ruffies.

- ARTS, July 14.-La belle Ameri-
caine reigns in Paris. 1t seems as
- If the town had been entirely re-
populated from the other side of the At
lantic. The French are endeavoring to
convey the idea that nothing could
please them better than this invasion
of the Yankees. for the Americans spend
more money than any other class of
tourists and are less skillful in the eva
sion of impositions. Besides, in this
crisis France feels that she needs the
friendship of America or anybody else

powers

the old noblesse, which constitutes the
aristocratic circle. takes little interest

taken houses in the city for the expo

dazzle Paris with the same lavish hos
pitality that buys an entree into Amer

rich American women have had even
the slightest approach to counter civili-
ties from the Faubourg St. German,
and their. ablest efforts have been
coldly received. The real American so
cia1 leaders in Paris are Mrs Potter
Palmer, Mrs Ferdinand w. Peck, wife
of the commissioner; Mrs. Thomas
Walsh of Colorado and Mrs Horace
Porter. wife of the ambassador. Con-
siderable rivalry is said to exist be-
tween Mrs. Palmer and Mrs. Peck, al
though it is evident that the former
has a good deal the better of the battle
for social supremacy.
The Parisians admire Mrs. Pa1mer's
beauty and chic very much. Always

of appearing we'll here. Her penchant
is for white, and very striking she look
ed at a recent dinner party in a gown
of white nuns yelling exquisitely out
lined with black lace. With the gown
she wore a large picture hat trimmed
with black piumeS and white. The
good taste of the American ladies in
appearing at restaurant dinners in high
neeked gowns and hats has been ia
vorably commented on by the French,
with whom the English custom of ap-
pearing in public places clad decollete
is ridiculed.

this order consisted of narrow white

the hat. Underneath the clasp covered
a fluffy facing of white chiffon, with
white ostrich plume stretching around

handsome black plumes were the sole
trimming. The frilled brim gave to the
face of the wearer the appearance of
emerging from a huge white flower.

Shirt Waists.

For the popular shirt waists the va
riety of materials used is large, en-
bracing almost every kind of cotton
dress fabric. They are of Bingham,
pique in white and colored grounds,
with flowers or geometrical designs;
linens, madras, mercerized sea island
cotton and percales. Then there are
batistes, Persian lawns very fine and
sheer, organdie and thin silks. En-
broidered null in delicate tints is one of
the most favored materials for the ees-
thetic waist. All over embroideries are
used for white waists, and the wash
silk waists are among the most fash
ionable this season. China silk plated
in narrow box plaits, all over with very
narrow embroidered insertion filling in
the space between, is used for stylish
waists, and still another style of waist
is made entirely of alternate rows OF
wash ribbon and lace insertion.

Some of the prettiest new chemises
have shoulder straps of ribbon instead
of sleeves, and this design, you may be
sure, is vastly admired and appreciated
by the girl who possesses well nodded
arm and a pretty, white, dimpled shoul-
der. The garment is gored. fiounced
and frilIed with lace, the upper part
being a mass of insertion and lace. The
top is cut square and is gathered and
drawn up to fit the figure just under
the arms, the pretty silk shoulder
straps keeping it in it's place.
Corset covers are also provided with

many of the new corset covers end at

Vocal Exercise.

The value of vocal exercise upon the
general health is not sufficiently rec
ognized by the majority; but those who
have studied the matter tell US that
even the practice of reading aloud has
a great and beneficial influence upon
the health. To quote the words of an
authority:
Persons who have a tendency to pull
monary disease should methodically
practice those actions of the body
through which the chest is in part fill
ed or emptied of air." and further ad-
vice is given to the effect that those
whose chests are weak should read
aloud at stated intervals and even re-
cite or sing, using due caution as to
posture and articulation.
These regular exercises of the voice
may be rendered as saIutary to the or
gans of respiration as they are agree
able in their influence on the voice.
Moreover, vocal exercise often improves
the contour of a thin throat, and is
thereby a beautifier.

Dinner Table Decorations.

The newest way of decorating the
dinner table is to place in front of each
guest a little basket made of silver
crystal or china filed with flowers. The
middle of the table is occupied by a
mirror, with delicate silver trimmings,
and plates of bonbons encircled by gar
lands of flowers are arranged on the
mirror Fruit and flowers are now
frequently mingled in table decorations.
In selecting flowers for the table care
should be taken to avoid all those hav-
