FIGHT ON BETWEEN
 COTTON MILL MEN Northern Owners Frightened at
 Increase in the South. TROUBLE IN NORTH CAROLINA Southern Operators Charge That North ern Owners Are Encouraging the
 Organization ot Employees to
 Create Disaffection
TROUBLE IN NORTH CAROLIN

Washington, August 21.-A special from Portsmouth, Va, to the Star says:
 It is generally accepted as a fact among Southern mill men that the cotton mill men of New England who have been most seriously affected by the great increase of cotton mills in the South are aiding in the organizatiodn of the Southern employees. The mill owners of the South charge that this sudden interest in the welfare of their employees is really covert attack upon the Southern mills by attempting to create dlsaffection among the operatives The mill owners are opposing the organization and several strikes have developed as a result in the North Carolina mills. One hundred and fifty union operatives who left the Erwin cotton mills at Durham are yet out. Other union operatives who did not strike will work out their notices.
 President Erwin of this mill notified them that no union mill men would be employed and gave them two weeks notice. Union operatives at the Pearl mills at Durham have decided not to strike for the present. Union organizers have gone to flaw River, N. C., to organize the operatives in former Governor Holt's mill. They have been quietly at work on this movement in North Carolina mills for months The movement was ostensibly inaugurated by New England labor unions to get all the operatives in Southern mills in the union.

LETTER FROM SEYMOUR
Says for Dash and Go None Equal the
 Americans

London, August 21.-The Daily Express prints this morning a long letter said to have been written by Vice Admiral Sey- mour in which he stoutly defends his ac- ton in advancing to the relief of the Le- gationers when he did, saying:
 Two or three times our prospects were very dark and disaster seemed probable Yet l have never regretted that I had started, as l could not have respected my self if I had not done so."
 Referring to the difficulties of control ling mixed troops and to their characteris- tics, he says:
 "The Germans we admired most, but for dash and go, none surpassed or perhaps equalled the Americans. The French had no particular rapprochment with any other nationality. The Germans and Russians were inclined to hold together, but the Americans were with us always"

German Coffee Cake.-Make a sponge
with one quart of warm milk, half a
cake of compressed yeast dissolved In
luke-warm water and -four; cover and
let stand over night in a warm place.
In the morning add a scant cup of
butter, level teaspoonful salt, one
cup sugar, half teaspoonful grated nut
meg, and two eggs, beaten, with suffi-
cient -four to make dough as soft as
can be handled. Knead we'll for fifteen
minutes and set in a warm place to
rise. When light, roll out in sheets
about an inch thick and let rise tc
double the bulk. Cover the top with
rich sweet or sour cream, sprinkle
with sugar and ground cinnamon, and
bake light brown. 1t requires from a
half to three-quarters of an hour. If
the cake browns too quickly, cover
with buttered white paper. Raisins
may be added If desired, and the top
covered with chopped, blanched al
monds mixed with sugar.
Luncheon Rolls.-Scald half a cup of
milk and add to 1t two tablespoonfuls

C6icd6o,S Big Strike.

When the Bricklayers' and Stone
masons' union broke with the Build
ing Trades council a few days ago
there was a general feeling that the
long-continued strike had come to an
end. But the members of the Building
Trades council shed no tears of regret
They draped the empty chairs of the
"seceders," bowed in mock reverence
as they passed the trappings Of dis
sembled grief, and sang funeral dirges
to the memory of their departed BROTH
ers. Again they met and declared a
stronger purpose to keep up the fight
They were assured by representatives
from most of the labor organizations
in the city that their efforts would be
supported by labor unions everywhere.
Foreign unions will be asked to lend
their aid, and funds for a continue
tion of the fight will be solicited at
home and abroad. This does not seem
like the end of the struggle.

Wonders of the Digger Bee.

DR.. John B. Smith, writing in Popu-
lar Science, gives the name of digger
bee" to a blue-green bee having a me-
tallic sheen, which may be seen fit
ting about sandy places during the
first heats of May. With the aid Of
liquid plaster of Paris poured into the
holes that it makes in the ground, he
has followed the bee through a WON
derful course of digging. The work
is all done by females. and its primary
object is to provide protected cells in
which the young are bred. The bee
makes tunnel quarter Of an inch
in diameter, which, after starting for
a few inches on a slope, runs straight
down into the ground. At the depth
of foot or more short lateral tunnels
are driven, and at the ends of these
are formed the breeding cells. Hav-
ing provided for her young, the bee
continues to dig, down and yet far
ther down, until she is four feet or
even more beneath the surface, dy-
ing from sheer exhaustion about the
time her first progeny begin to make
their way to the surface"

POIse of Manner.

Every woman can, if she will, culti-
vate the self-control that subdues the
manifestation of feeling in frowns or
excessive laughter, says the Baltimore
Herald. Poise of manner may be made
merely the outward expression of poise
of mind, and the many little worries
OF life can be relegated to their proper
place as trifles. True reposefulness is
not the absence of strength, but its
assured possession. Mothers should be
observant of any tendency in their
growing children to undue facial dis
tortion in speaking and gently remind
them of it until the habit is cured. 1t
is difficult for the adult to dismiss a
habit once formed, but it would be
wise for every young woman and man
to establish a close surveillance over
their manner of using the muscles of
the face in speaking. Many of them
would be surprised to find that every
sentence is fresh grimace.

To Clean Old Crates and Tenders.


The open CRATES and tenders and
stove fronts that have seen hard SER
vice during the winter prove especially
distressing to the careful housewife
when thoughts of the coming spring
renovation seem to impart an extra
shabbiness. The old methods of Shin
ing" with various preparations in the
form of stove polish have very little
effect On the reddened and roughened
surfaces; how to give them a good
shining black polish that will last is
the question.
Every housewife should know that
one pint of asphaltum. thoroughly
mixed with a gill Of turpentine, and
applied with a paintbrush to these
crates, fronts, tenders, or any similar
iron substance, will give the shining
appearance that they wore when new.
This amount of the mixture will paint
five CRATES and belongings, also the
kitchen stove. It will last just as long,
and will give exactly the appearance
that each had when new. 1t is secured
at trifling cost, and is so easily ap-
piled that this work will prove one of
the most satisfactory duties of the
spring renovating.

The Art of Eating.

Lord Byron, it is said, used to pro-
fess that the spectacle of a pretty
woman eating filed him with horror.
Theodore Child, of cuisine fame, on
the other hand says that, after all, a
civilized man devouring, with all pos
sible good breeding, a slice of roast
beef is as disagreeable a sight as one
would care to look upon. But, Mr..
Child continues, eating being a neces-
sity, nature and civilization have TAX
en- care to surround the operation
with everything that tends to distract
the attention from the material side,
and they have succeeded so completely
that not one man out of a thousand
knows anything Of the physiology of
eating or the chemistry of food. Eat
ing has become a social as well as a
natural act. 1t has been sublimated by
the idea of hospitality; the festive
board has acquired certain solemni-
ty from its connection with great fes-
tivals of the family; the dinner has
become the highest function of home
life, daily act to which no other can
be compared in Importance and re-
suits.

DeNice TO Locate Sounds.

In heavy and foggy weather it is
very difficult for the captains and
pilots of ships to ascertain the direc-

whistles, bells and other signals come
unless there is some special device for

Schmitt of Canada has invented the

which the sounds emanate. Journaled
in a suitable bearing on the top of

which can be turned to all points of

pipe to the pair Of ear tubes. 1t is
