ONE OF THEM CONFESSES.
AmOka Murder Mystery Cleared Up
in Court.

Anoka Murder Mystery Cleared Up
in Court.
ANOKA, Mimi, July 17.-Eliza Wise,
the younger of two Wise girls, solved
the murder mystery this morning by
confession in court under sensational
circumstances. When asked to give the
names of the men she saw outside the
house the night Of the murder, she re-
fused to tell unless the court room was
cleared. When this was refused, she
! wrote out statement accusing the
defendants. James Hardy and Elmer
Miller of the murder and practically
admitting that the plot to shoot her
parents was formed with the knowledge
Of herself and her sister. The mother
had $1,000 in the bank which was to go
to her daughters in case Of her death
and the girls had sold they would di-
vide with their suitors when Mrs. Wise
was dead. The father had forbidden
the boys to call on his daughters and
so he was included in the plot. Eliza
testified that she saw the boys and
their guns outside the house before the
shooting. After the crime was COM
mitted she found one of the tell tale
shells outside the window and destroyed
it. Her story made a profound sensa-
ton, as the defendants had established
tentative alibi by numerous wit
nesses and it was the general belief
that they were innocent.

Louis street car employees case was
discussed today and it was agreed that
President Gompers and Vice President
OConnell should proceed to St. Louis
and endeavor to settle the differences

cry workers to refrain in the future
from issuing charters to unions COM
posed of engineers and firemen.

communicate with the officers on the
International Typographical union and
International Association of Machin-
ists asking them to appoint commit

Is Still On in New York and Makers
Are Idle.
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE great
strike of cigar makers in this city is
still on and 5000 workers., half Of whom
are girls are idle. The strike is proving
enormously expensive to both sides.
The firms have closed most of their
factories and those that are running
are turning out only the cheaper brands
Of cigars. The Federation of Labor and
Cigar Makers International union are
aiding the strikers by soliciting tinan-
cial aid from unions throughout the
country. The contributions today
amounted to $4,000 alone and on one
day recently they reached, it is under
stood, $1,000. The local unions declare
that the strikers will be able to hold
out for an indefinite period. Some
trouble occurred at the Hilson COM
pany's cigarette factory today over the
discharge of IL girls charged with be-
ing disturbers. There are 1000 girls
employed in the factory and lively times

tional 'Longshoremens association,

scented to her by Delegates O. L. Ogll-
vie, of Lorain, and T. Manning, OF
Washburn, Mr. Ogilvie making a tie"

to by the recipient Of the gift. Mrs
Barter has taken a great deal of inter-
est in the organization for number OF
years and has contributed a great dea
of time and work in it's behalf
But Mrs. Barter had another sur
prise in store for her. Later in the at
ternoon a large delegation of the wives
Of local 'longshoremen called at mel
rooms in the fremont hotel and pre-
sented her with several handsome
pieces of fancy china.

at the publication of a story regarding
the discussion of charges against tne
officers of the association, While thf

Saturday, and some innocent member;
have been accused of divulging 1t tt

Will he Dissolved Soon and Affairs
Wound Up.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE National
Wall Paper company, which has been
known for more than SIX years as the
National Wall Paper trust, having fail
ed to control the independent manu-
facturers, will in the near future be
dissolved. This action was decided
upon at meeting Of the majority Of

empowered to act as trustees in the
dissolution proceedings. Some of the
factories will be bought back by their
original owners and the others will be

OId-Time Christmas.

What has become of the old-fashion-
ed, cold Christmas? Has it left no icy
echo along the high roads it travelled,
shrouded in the SHOWS of long ago?
Did it escape between thaws and fly
away on the wings of unhealthy fogs,
or has it died the death of all good old
time institutions, and shared their
common fate? Long before the inven-
ton of the gum b cot it was a fire.

There were two of us and we had
between us a surplus of three or four
dollars. We cast about for something
to do with our money. Suddenly an
idea occurred to the Three-Spot. It
isn't very often that this happens, but
the surplus probably did it on this
occasion.
L have it," he said. He didn't mean
the money, for the Two-Spot was care
full to keep that in his pocket. Il have
it," he repeated. Lets go along the
street until we find some poor, ragged
children looking eagerly in the shop
windows. Then we'll find out what
they want most and go in and buy
it."
Good" replied the Two-Spot, but
what shall we do with the rest of the
money!"
We'll go till we're tired, and
guess they'll be no rest for the
weary"
And so we started out. And let it be
recorded here that we had visions of
swarms of ragged children gazing into
every window along the business
streets. But in this we were doomed
to disappointment. Early in the aft
ernoon there was not one poor look
ing child who was not trudging along
beside its mother. The latter gener-
ally had an armful of parcels and
was evidently intent on purchasing
more. Up and down the entire length
of Woodward avenue we went with
out spying one child who was likely
looking candidate for our magnanim-
ity. Then we tried Gratiot avenue.
Surely there would be lots of them, we
thought, on Gratiot avenue, little Poles
and German children. But we walked
nearly out to the railroad tracks, up
one side and down the other, and set
eyes on never a one.
The Three-Spot was beginning to
cast eyes on some new pipes in the
store windows and made several re-
marks about the desirability of having
a stein on ones mantel.
