one cent an hour to the engineers,
amounts far below what were needed to
bring their wages up to the Lehigh VAL
ley rate, while the firemen, brakemen
and others received no increase.
Those of the employees who had be-
lleved in the promises made by the Of
ficials were naturally disappointed at
the manner In which they were hood
winked, but others who have had
similar experiences with these people
were not In the least surprised at the
deceit which the Drifton corporation
exhibited.
There was time when a statement
received from the managers of the Coke
interests was accepted as truthful and
was relied upon by all whom it concern
ed; but this was when men with brains
and honest principles were in charge.
Unfortunately for the employees of the
Drifton companies, these men are no
more, and the fair name which years OF
work established is gradually becoming
synonym for hypocrisy, of which the
ID. S. & S. 'increase" is only one OF
many instances furnished.
The railroad men are determined
that the matter will not be allowed to
rest until they receive what Is due
them. Arrangements are being made
to hold general meeting OF the en-
ployes OF the road to take action on the
refusal OF the company to live up to its
promise

DowIEITEs MALTREATED.

Driven Out of Evanston.

Chicago, July e.-Twenty-one dis
ciples of John Alexander Dowie visit
ed Evanston, a Chicago suburb, last
night and, despite the efforts of the
entire police force of the place, a
mob of 1000 people drove them out
of town. Several days ago four OF
Dowie's missionaries were egged and
driven out of Evanston and last
nights visit of the 21 was intended
to convert the people of Evanston
and show them the error of their
ways. The instant the Dowieites be-
gan their meeting last night they
were asailed with eggs, vegetables
and other missiles. The guard of po-
licemen was too small to afford much
protection and the crowd soon began
to hustle the missionaries along the
street and both women and men were
literally despatched with eggs and
mud. The Dowieites finally fed from
the town.

July 4. The weather across the en-
tire state of Colorado was clear, and
the immense blaze, over 1900 feet

enne, nearly 200 miles north, to New
Mexico, the same distance south. Hun
dreds of thousands of persons were
able to see the patriotic beacon, which
was the elimination of the display
on the peak. Several bow kites, six
feet across, were sent up to over 49,
600 feet, carrying the American flag,
which was visible in Colorado Springs
and adjoining towns as well as in the
Cripple Creek district. A snowcloud
settled around the kites and wrecked
them at 1880 feet. This elevation
was the greatest ever attained by the

WOMAN POLICE SERGEANT.
This Rank, and Is Earning
Her Salary, Too.

Sergeant Mary E. Owens, of the
Chicago police department, is the only
woman in the world holding such rank
and title, and if she is not good Off
Ger six mayors of that city have failed
to find it out. She is on the regular
police pay roll, wears sergeant's badge
No. 81 and reports daily to Chief Col
leran, of the detectives. Nobody, from
the chief of police down, gives her or
ders. In the language of the street,
''she knows her business" and it is an
open secret that she knows it so well
that she can wear her badge and draw
her salary as long as she likes.
She began her official career in 1889,
says the Chicago Record-Herald, soon
after the death of her husband. The
support of family of three young
children devolved upon her suddenly,
while she was yet ignorant of any pro-
fession, trade or method of money
making. Her husbands friends
brought enough pressure to bear to
have her chosen one of the five wom-
en- health officers appointed by Mayor
Cregier. She did the rest herself.
When the women were dropped by the
health department Mrs. Owens had
made herself so conspicuously useful
to the police that the elder Carter Har-
rison told Chief McClaughry to ap-
point her patrolwoman, with a special
assignment in the sweatshops, depart
ment stores and shopping districts,
where most of the violations of the
child labor and compulsory education
laws were being violated.

ELEVEN PRISONERS ESCAPE.
rhey Got cut Of the Federal Jan AZ cath
Eie By Overpoweraag the Guards. Each
Taking a Gun IS They L.eft.

Guthrie, Ok, July 6.-The II prison
ers who made their escape from the
federal Jail did so by empowering
the guards. Friday is known as bath
day. Being extremely hot the door
of the cell was left OPEN to admit as
much air as possible. One prisoner at
a time is taken by a guard to the
bath room. AS Lee Stanfeld's turn
came he made a lunge and grabbed
the guards gun. Covering the guard
he called to all who wanted to go,
which they did without ceremony,
each arming himself with a gun as he
passed by the gun rack. The alarm
was given, but it was some time, as
the prisoners had taken the precau-
ton to cut the telephone wire.
By dint of good work on the part of
the federal officers and the citizens
ali of those who broke Jail at three
o'clock were recaptured and locked
in their cells at seven o'clock last
evening, except Lee Reed and Bob
Harden. They will be taken soon.

Mrs. Langtry has set the style it is
likely that-there will soon be a raid on
American millinery counters for these
particular hats.
There is something deliciously
charming about a hat of this style.
1t is so distinctly feminine and its
waving brim can give an air of CO.
quetry to even the most uncoquettisb
face. Correctly, it should be worn
with a dimity or organdie gown of
many ruffles, with silk mitts-which
are quite the vogue-and with para
sol that is fluff of chiffon and foam
of founces or great big siapdash
boquet of real lace.
Probably no style of hat is so becom-
ing to all ages and all types of women
as the leghorn. 1t is pretty on the
petite girl with her fluffy pigtails tied
with ribbons. 1t is picturesque and
lovely on the large girl-the Mrs.
Langtry type, for instance.
Even on elderly danes it is not en-
tirely out of place, and everyone
knows how cunningly lovely the leg
horn hat is on babies, its waving, lit
ing brim shading kissable curls and
sweet laughing eyes.
All hail the leghorn!
Mrs. Langtry has not tucked it back
in feminine hearts, because it has
never been out of them, but she has re-
minded womankind of its PROJECTIONS,
and for that womankind will be more
than grateful

Garry Your own Luncheon.

1t is very curious to notice how
the custom of carrying lunch on a
train is steadily coming back into
favor. At first everybody did it, just
as they now do in England, on acr
count of the absence of dining cars.
When these were introduced the
really fashionable people Immediately
began to patronize tfem, and left the
lunch basket to those who could af-
ford nothing better. Now. however, it
is considered the correct thing to
have ones lunch put up in dainty
basket by a good caterer.

played out and with box of chew
ing gum she had been peddling. I
took her to the Harrison street an
mex, and when we got there the
child's father and mother suddenly
appeared and claimed their baby. Of
course they had been hiding in some
adjacent doorway while their little
one worked on the sympathies of
passers-by. I kept the child all night,
and the parents, protesting in vain,
waited for her. But they never again
sent her out to peddle among saloons
or on the streets.
eff a truant is reported at the
school headquarters as having gone
to work under the legal age make
a round of stores and find the child.
The affidavit of the parents stating
that the child is II years old or
older must be Forthcoming or I send
the little one home in hurry.
81 can generally get the truth out
of the children, and storekeepers are
usually anxious to aid me. I have
known cases where the earnings of
child II or Is years old were abso-
lutely necessary to the support of a
widowed or invalid mother. 1 don't
push the law too hard in such eases,
and so long as the affidavit is there
/ don't bother them"
Mrs. Owens is nearly 35 years old,
but she looks younger and is en-
thusiastic over her peculiar situa-
ton. She has four children, three
boys and a girl, the eldest of whom
is IS and the youngest -. She is
giving them all a good education, and
her housekeeping is done by hired
maid. City officials agree in stating
that, aside from her police work,
she has accomplished great good in
the cause Of charity. Every factory
employer, manager and owner of a
store in the business district of Chi
cago knows Mrs. Owens, and she has
made most of them her friends.
