ROBBED BY A NEGRO.
Mr.. r,aIeolm Attacked Near Provence
Reward for Negro's Capture.


A. j. Malcolm, an old man who
lives near Mannsvile was robbed
Saturday forenoon at a point 400
yards west of II +. Watkins rail-
road camp near Provence by a ne
gro.
The old man was on his way
home from Ardmore aud when
about one mile west of the Watkins
camp negro came up from the
roadside and asked Mr.. Malcolm to
let him ride over to the camp in
the wagon, as he was working
there. He was told to get in, which
he did and sat on a barrel of salt
just behind Mr.. Malcolm
When they had got nearly to the
camp, the negro struck Mr.. Nal
colin with his fist and began chok-
ing him, at the same time taking
his money, amounting to about
$23.
The negro then jumped out of
the wagon and ran, with the old
gentleman after him. Some of the
boys at the camp saw them and
fred three times at the negro, but
he escaped, going southwark. a
large crowd is now after him and
he will no doubt be captured
He was a stranger in that sec.
tion and had not been working for
Mr.. Watkins, as told the old man.
Mr.. Malcolm offers a reward of
$40 for the arrest of the negro
whom he describes as follows: A
mulatto negro, wearing black hat q,
blue check jumper, and gaiter
shoes, number 9. He is about %

PROPOSAL TO sCHwAB.
Strike Leaders Take an Offer OF
Settlement.

Strike IeaderS rake an OtteT OF
settlement.
Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 24.-The
Leader says that at the Labor
conference held this afternoon
Prof. jerks proposed that some
interested persons should con-
vey to G. NJ. Schwab, president
OF the steel corp oration, the in
formation that a settlement
might be effected, provided the
Amalgamated Association Off
cials should sign the wage agree.
ment for the mills they CONTROL.
ed last year. The mills that
have been organized since the
Milwaukee convention are to be
operated on provisional scale.
Those more fully organized will
ask for the Amalgamated wage
scale and conditions. Those
that desire to stay out of the or
ganization shall have the privi-
lege of doing so.
This last concession was made
by the Amalgamated Association
on account Of the Vandergrift
workers holding aloof from the
agreement. Had this mill and
several others in the Kismenen-
etas and Youghiougheny Valleys
insisted on having union condi-
tons, the concession would not
have been made by the steel
workers.
Prof. jerks will go east to-
morrow and will use his own
time TO see President Schwab.

BIRTH OF CHRIST
IS THEIR THEME
Special Sermons and
Songs in Houses Of
Worship.

Church organs pealed forth yesterday
in grand solemnity and sacred chOirs lift
ed their voices in predatory glorification
of the day of Christs birth. Special
hymnal and devotional services were held
in nearly all the churches. With prayer
and song the first of the Christmas week
ceremonies received a most reverentiaI
expression.
Great numbers worshiped at the affairs
of the Catholic and Protestant churches
yesterday morning. Special sermons
preached by the shepherds of the flock
told of the glory of Christs life, his mis-
sion on earth and the great lesson he has
taught humanity through generation after
generation In some of the houses of God
the humble surroundings of the Savior
birth were made the theme for pulpit
eloquence. The seal of divinity furnished
the subject matter of other addresses.
Precepts of religion, of piety, of reverence
of the true Christianity all found a place
in the sermons of Gods ministers.
The old traditional and distinctive
Christmas carols gave the choirs an op-
portunity for vocal differentiation. From
hymn to carol the church singers
breathed the spirit of Christ into the ser
vices. The sermons of the ministers ex-
emplifed what the choirs expressed in
song.

The Song of Birds.

NJ Coupin writes on the subject Of bird
song, giving many interesting examples
of imitation. Very remarkable is the in
stance of a sparrow initiating the strfdu-
lation Of a grasshopper; one spring the
sparrow's cage was hung near another
cage containing several grasshoppers. No
notice was taken by the sparrow for a
whole year, but during the next year he
learned to initiate the grasshopper's notes
and never forgot them during his life,
often combining them with the songs of
birds, however. Young linnets sometimes
learn the notes of the nightingale. Ger
tain birds in Thuringia sing much better
than others of their own species in the
Hartz mountains, it is said, and the su-
perior excellence due to local conditions
always persists.

NE has not lived in vain who saw
"a IA Mrs. Thomas Magee Jr. out shop
Ia ! ping last Saturday in her latest
VI velvet creation Mrs. Magee must
have been doing teas the same
day, for she was gorgeously arrayed and
would have made a lasting impression
upon Solomon in all his glory She
glided in and out of the shops in that
stately way of hers, wearing such mar
vel of a gown. 1t was all black velvet
with the merest touch of white satin.
There was a quiet elegance about 1t that
pleased you. The skirt was rather close
fitting and hung in wreath of folds at
the bottom. AT the belt the skirt was
shaped in with tiny white-stitched tucks.
The bodice was Of black velvet except
the tiny white satin pipings outlining the
bolero Jacket and also set into the fore-
arm of the sleeve. A large white hat
completed the tOilet-and a striking affair
it certainly was-of white panne velvet
sOlidly stitched. The hat was quite fiat,
the bri1n being bent slightly down back
ribbon. On the under side of the brim
was single white rose, just visible from
the front. There was a sweet simplicity
about the hat. 1t had not even the long
ostrich feather which abOunds at lunch
cons nowadays.
Speaking OF feathers reminds one of
what Mrs. Walter E. Dean said about the
rosebud garden of girls for whom she
save a luncheon in the Palace Hotel con-
serVatory last Friday. She observed that
nearly all of the twenty-five debutantes
and their young friends were smiling out
from under great ostrich feathers and
said it was just what completed the
charming picture; that in the billowy
white boas and the long, fluffy feathers
were just the right setting for their girl
ish charms (or something like that. Mrs.
Dean has a way of getting those things
off so that you know she means them
and because she is such a thoughtful
and serious woman her opinion has
double weight with you.
Everybody knows Mrs. Dean is wise
and sensible, but one cannot stop there,
for her rare qualities are ever cropping
out. Perhaps her latest revelation to us
is the wisdom in selecting wintry decora
