President Shaffer arrived shortly after
IL o'clock. He was serene, but gave evil
dence of being under a severe strain.
He would give no intimation whatever as
to the prospect of either peace or an
extension Of the strike. Then he hur-
riedly entered the conference room and
locked the door. Vice President Chappell
entered a few minutes later. It is be-
lieved that if President Shaffer cannot
impress the others with his views to-day
he will hold another conference to-mor-
row

Pittsburg, July 31.-The outcome OF the
deliberations of the executive board of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel
and Tinworkers upon the propositions of
the United States Steel corporation Of
hcials for the settlement of the steel strike
Is still hanging in the balance. While
nothing definite was accomplished yester-
day, the more sanguine element seems to
be still in the majority and better news
is hoped for to-day. From what could be
learned in spite Of the secresy maintained,
the older and more conservative members
were willing to accede to the propositions
made to them by the other side, but the
younger ones displayed spirit of greater
independence and reliance upon the
power of the organization to force bet
ter terms than those submitted to them.
The meeting was said to be continued
this morning, but when the newspaper
men arrived at.headquarters they were re-
fused admittance to the building by order
of the owner of the Rissel1 block, in
which the Amalgamated Association
meets. This made it difficult to obtain
any definite information and all sorts of
rumors became at once circulated. 1t
was stated that the meeting would be
held elsewhere, that President Shaffer
and Secretary Williams had left for New
York last night, that several members of
the board had gone to see Senator Hanna
at Cleveland and that no meeting would be
held to-day or until the national officers
and absent members of the board re-
turned. The report that President Shat
fer had slipped off to New York proved
untrue, as he was seen on the streets Of
this city during the morning.
Less Hopeful OF Settlement.
The strikers are not as hopeful Of a
settlement Of the strike as they were
yesterday. Since the return last night Of
the McKeesport men who were in at
tendance at the conference, the feeling
that long strike is certain has become
general and those closest to the national
officers Of the Amalgamated Association
seem to have least hopes of any settle
ment being made at present.

TOMMY ATKINS LIP"
Story of How Strap Came to Be Put
 Under the Mouth.

Story of How Strap Came to Be Put
 Under the Mouth.
 An Englishman connected with the mule shipments from this port to South Africa told an odd story q few days ago which has d slightly horse-marine flavor, but there it is. The topic of conversation was the little pancake hat which is the distinguishing char acteristfc of the British soldier and which, plastered on the extreme pos terior protberance of his head, is held in place by leathern band gird- ling the face and hooked beneath what is universally known as Tommy At kins' Lip" From constant exercise of the inferior labial muscle a remark able development has been produced and in due course of time the prehensi- ble quality of the British lower lip may be expected to transform itself into something as generally useful in the trunk of the tapir.
 But that has nothing to do with the Engl1shman'S story, which concerns only the origin of the lip band. Like many another fashion, 1t was the re suit, it appears, of accident and vanity. Time was when the Britisher, in ac- cord with common sense and the rest of the universe. held his hat on by a strap beneath the chin. So it was until one of the early Indian campaigns when the Atkinses of the day were hay ing high times skinning Begums, and no common soldier felt comfortable un- less he was toting a Kokinoor around in his pocket. It was not always com fortable campaigning, however, and sometimes money was more plentiful than food. One day command which had been ordered to march from Benares to one of those places which Kipling knows how to spell had it's cOmmiSsariat cut off and was forced to march three days with only food enough for one. By the time the route was half over all the spunk had gone out of the command. and on the last day demoralization was so complete that an attack would have been very serious matter. The officer In charge was a person of resources, and, halt ing his command, he ordered the men to take off their caps and shorten the chin straps six inches. When the sol diers put their hats on again the bands struck them across, lips. Now. all who are hungry mayYchew and be blank ed," was his next command. The At kinses did as directed. and soon found that munching on the leather strap re ruced their hunger to an astonishing degree. and the command marched on to it's destination. chewing and cheer full and so proud of their adventure that they affected the short bridle, and the fashion quickly spread to the rest of the army. That officer must have had experience in athletics, as 1t is we'll known among runners that to hold something firmly between the teeth is a great assistance in case of violent and sustained effort. and mouthpieces with rubebr bands, made especially for the purpose, are sold by dealers in sporting goods.-The New Orleans TimeS-Democrat

Writing on the question Of cheapen- ing machine shop products NJ. Cokely in the New England Engineering Mag aine asks: If the product if machin- cry, is the design such as will admit Of the least amount of outlay in labor and material in its production! Can a cheaper grade of material be used in certain unimportant parts? Can it be arranged for less amount of finish ed surface. a less number of operations and a less amount of. handling and transferring? Can it be reduced in weight? Can it be so designed as to permit of being finished on a more simple grade of machine tools? In a word, has everything possible been done in designing that machinery to permit of the lowest possible cost Of production without iinpairing either its artistic value, it's durability, or its general efficiency? If so, then take up the question of tools. appliances, and facilities generally. Are the machine tools such as will give the greatest possible output or will it pay to install special tools? If the product is a speciality. has the question Of small special tools. such as jigs, templates, guages, punches. dies. and attachments by which production is promoted, been considered? Is the best quality of tool steel used for cutting tools? Is it such grade as will stand the highest cut which will only stand a speed of thirty or forty feet per minute while steel can be bought in the open market that will stand eighty or a hundred, and in some cases more? Has the work been classified according to the skill requir- ed to perform it. and judiciously dis tributed among the tools on which it can be done by the cheaper grade of labor? Has the labor been properly classified according to the skill requir- ed on the work on which it is engaged, or are we using skilled mechanics on work that should be done by handy men or boys? There is hardly any thing around factory so destructive to profits as the employment of skilled mechanics on work that requires little more than muscular effort to perform; besides, 1t is an injustice to a large class of workmen who perhaps through no fault of their own, have not had an opportunity to learn trade and be come skilled. 1t is my firm convic- ton that if man has been skilled to that pitch of perfection where he con. siders himself above and beyond the reach of the common laborer, he should be employed. as far as possible. only on work worthy of his skill.

RESTAURANTS OF MANY TOWNS

s'In all my experience as a travel ing man." says Fred J. Squires of De troit, ''I have never seen so many dairy lunch rooms in one town as in Washington. suppose the immense force of government clerks accounts for them. They are not, the best of them. as fine in appointments as those in Boston. Philadelphia and New York, but must say they equal in the material served the best in any city. To fellows who have to criss-cross the United States two or three times a year cooking is an important matter. We all devoutly pray to be saved from investigation for commercial purposes of the territory which lies in south ern Indiana and northern Kentucky. So far as I have been able to observe the people of that section simply keep pan of cottonseed oil on the fire and use that for all culinary treat ment. They fry fish, meat, vegeta- bles, and even bread, and if there is a perfect digestive apparatus left in that section among the residents, it is clearly in defiance of Providence.
 Cooking is good in Washington, much above the average. New Or leans is far and away the finest place in the world for the best things to eat, cooked in the most appetizing way, and San Francisco is next. In New York and Chicago you can get im- ported French culinary service by paying stiff price for it, but the m. tive talent is very bad. indeed. Wash ington Star.

A society for the Suppression of Spur ious Titles has been formed in Vir- ginia. A branch of 1t should be or ganized in every state of the Union.

 A fund of S2TO,O0O has already been raised by the republican machine in Philadelphia for use in the coming political campaign. This was only q first assessment of 3 per cent on the ceh0lders, and it-is said that the assessment will be increased to 10 per cent if the Quay managers think 1t necessary. This would provide a fund of nearly a million dollars with to favor the retention of 'sthe gang" in power.-Hartford Times.

COAsTING CHAMoIs.

Nearly all animals are fond of play, and sometimes their play is almost q systematic game. If you should come across lot of goats playing football, with chosen sides, captains and all that sort of thing, you would be speech less with amazement and yet q tour ist saw something on the Alps that is scarcely less astonishing.
 It was in summer, and a flock of chamois had climbed up to where the snow never melts. evidently to play on it. Their movements were so peculiar that he watched them carefully They had found a steep, sn0w-cOvered in cline, to the upper end of which they went in a body, just like party ot boys intent on coasting.
 And that is precisely what the cha mois intended. for two or three of them at time would crouch down at the beginning of the descent, work all four legs to get a start and slide over the surface of the snow to the bottom When they reached the bottom they would rise. sake themselves and climt up the incline again. only to repeat their trip down This they did time anC again, their comrades at the upper enc watching them with great interest un | til 1t came their turn to coast. The coasting ground was about one
 hundred and fifty yards from top te bottom, and the chamois would shoot l down it with the speed of sleds. the snow rising about them in a powderly | cloud.
 There could be no doubt whatever that they did it for sport, and theJ seemed to enjoy 1t as much as boys ell joy coasting down well-packed hill.- Takoma Ledger.
