Dallas would not notice anything. Her
grandmother might be quite right In that,
but nevertheless she liked to think that
she was adjoining the room for him.
She was waiting in the room, when,
early in the afternoon. they wheeled Jack
In. He entered head foremost, lying on
his back, with abundant wraps about
him, for the weather was cold; and he
also entered talking.

then he discngagcd hand from his rugs
and put 1t out TO her with little twitch
about his lips that he tried to hide.
She went forward and took his hand,

that was the whole.
1t occupied Rita very much TO wait on
Mr.. Dallas, and supply him with the va.

quircd but then she had little else to do,

liked his company, too. apparently, In
spite of the faults she found In him. for
she never seemed to care to be absent
from him long, and he. on his side, when
she came to him, made her always dem.

by the Baptist women in the South will be discussed. A luncheon will be served at the church, and an afternoon session Will be held, when Miss Armstrong will again talk on missions. There is no one more capable of discussing this noble work than Miss Armstrong, as her official connection with the Woman's Auxiliary to the South ern Baptist Convention has dated since its organization ten years ago. The auxiliary meetings are always held in connection with the convention, and Miss Armstrong has been the most distinguished and not able figure in the large assemblies. The mammoth work that she accomplished year after year is briefly told in the official reports, but they cannot sufficiently convey the story of her long years of usefulness to her church. She is a woman of not only great magnetism and charm, but remark able executive ability, and in the vast and notable assemblies that she Is frequently called upon to address the force and power of the woman is remarkably in evidence. In every way Miss Armstrong is one of the notable women of the day. It was hoped prolonged and that she would be able to accept of the hospitality of a number of prominent women who had hoped to have the pleasure of entertaining her. She writes that her visit here will be so brief that she will be unfortunately unable to accept any invitations, and the short time that she is in the city she will be at the Morris.

OF DISAGREEMENT
DIFFERENCE IN NATIONALITY A DIS
TURBING FACTOR.
Irish Employees of Breweries Could
Not Understand Their German
Brothers..

The Brewery Workers Union and the
Brewers Association will hold another
conference this afternoon to reach an
agreement relative to unionizing the brew
cries in all departments. Recently unions
were formed among the drivers, stablemen.
engineers and firemen. 1t was under the
direction of the United Brewery Workers
Union. which issued an order some time
ago that all departments in breweries must
be organized n placed under the jurisdic-
ton of that organization. When the new
unions were organized 1t was said intimida-
ton had been practiced by some of the
brewers to prevent their men from join
ing the union. But this was not the real
trouble. The trouble was between the
brewers and agencies.
The competition between the local brew
cries and agencies is sharp, N the agents
claim the organizations were not to their
advantage, while they did help the brew
ers. The agents employ none but drivers
and s~tablemen, and to throw these men
under the jurisdiction of the United Brew
cry Workers without any representation
from their side caused the objection. The
agents were not averse to the men or
ganiZing. but wanted them organized in
- NAO tahN
ers. 1t was also maintained by the agents
as well as their men that being affiliated
with the larger organizations they would
really have nc voice in outlining the policy
OF the union and the agents would be shut
out entirely.
The nationality of the men was also an
other drawback. The employees of the
breweries almost TO the man are German
The employees of the agents are Irish and
Americans, but principally Irish. The
Irish and German do not usually agree
in the most harmonious manner. as was
demonstrated under a previous organiza-
ton. 1t Is said that this difference is what
disrupted the former union of the drivers,
and the agents employees have much hesi-
fancy about going into the new union for
fear the former experience will be re-
peated. 1t is said that when the former
union existed in heated arguments the
Germans talked in their own language and
the Irish, not being able to understand,
would then quit the hall. However, ii is
said that these differences have been
amicably adjusted and there will be little
difficulty in reaching an agreement this
afternoon when the representatives of the
unions and brewers meet.

in. 1t was his desire 10 continue in the
harness. He was ready TO pass TO the
great beyond and he cared not how soon
the might come. However frail
his body, his spirit was a happy one ana
his gallantry, kindness and love for all
humanity were as strong and fervent as
when the hair was not silvered with so
many years. Mr.. Jackson was a man Of
tastes, and he made a request that
there should be no unnecessary expense
connected with his funeral. He wanted the
''plainest pine coffin. which may be COW
cred with black CLOTH" and wished TO be
laid away the day after death. There
is a place for him in the Newcomer lot at
Crown Hill. He was the last of a large
family. He has a niece, Mrs. G~oodykoontz,
of Anderson. To her he has left letters.
with messages for other nephews and
nieces who live farther away. There IS
in his desk an account of his life, which
he wrote himself at the request of some
friend. Much of il is the history of the
Union Railway Company. On June 6, 1899,
his ninetieth birthday anniversary was
celebrated at the Second Presbyterian
Church. 1t was a simple yet impressive
event.

enough proud roosters present TO make the
big hall sound like a densely populated
barn lot. There were chickens from Michi-
gan, Illinois, Ohio and Kentucky, but the
most of them were from this State, the
exhibit being a State affair, but open to
all States. Entries are on the books for
exhibits from other States not represented
now.
Several special attractions will add to the
interest in the show. Alongside the pet
poodles and terriers will be a dozen Amer
lean bloodhounds from Logansport, and on
the stage will be incubators Matching out
chickens. The Matching will begin to-mor-
row and enough incubators are now set
ting to keep up the performance all week.
There is also an exhibit of Klondike chick
ems. These chickens are white. and differ
from the breed of warmer climates in that
they nave hair instead of feathers. Other
unexpected specialties may come in dur
ing the week, that are not classed. but will
be interesting features, Altogether. the
show promises to be the most successful
ever held in Indianapolis, and as the pre-
miums are governed by the entries, some
handsome purses will be paid.

ACTION ON HIGGINS.
Members of the Council still I'm n
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Meets.

Several OF the Republican members OF
the City Council are in a quandary con-
corning the next step to be taken to de-
clare vacant the seat OF Councilman
Higgins. convicted of soliciting a bride.
Before the next meeting OF the Coun-
ell. next Monday night. the members
will be advised as to steps to be taken.
Some believe IL is necessary 10 have a
resolution adopted TO impeach the coun-
Gilman OF the Fifteenth ward. while others
believe IL Is only necessary 10 adopt a
resolution showing his seat vacant, as he
was sentenced 10 the penitentiary and dis
franchised from holding a public office.
1t Is probable that a resolution will be pre-
sented In the Council at the e regular
meeting to declare the seat vacant and
the Republicans hope that enough OF the
Democrats will vote for the resolution
To adopt IT.
The law as interpreted by Attorney Cen
eral Taylor says the office was vacated
when Higgins was convicted. but that in
case OF an appeal nothing Is TO be done un-
til the higher court acts.

A Large Attendance mt Evangelist
Rarrison's Meetings.

Last night Roberts Park Church was
crowded to attend Evangelist Harrison's
service. There were perhaps 100 persons
I'm the audience. which maintained its
original proportions till the service closed,
the vacancies being filed by persons COM
ing from other churches after the congre-
cations were dismissed. The aisles around
the church were filed and the crowd
pressed against the doors. Evangelist Har-
rison preached an unusually short but
crisp sermon, but the audience in general
was not deeply moved. With the exhorta-
lions and singing several got up and went
out which detracted from the service be-
cause of the connection, the seats imme-
diately being taken by those who wished TO
stay the meeting through. Last night
there were six conversions, and six were
converted at the afternoon meeting. max
ing a total of go for the series of meetings.
Three meetings were held yesterday.
The meetings will close tomorrow night
with a farewell sermon. Tonight Mr.. Har-
rison will preach upon Victory through
