SHAFFER
SAYS HE'S
SATISFIED.
Claims Tlghs Has Power TO
Take Charters from Western
Lodges Il they do Not Obey.

Pittsburg. August 1s.-The reversal OF
front by the men of Joliet, has cheered
the steel strikers more than any other
event of the week and their hopes again
seem high.
II has ended for the time being all talk
OF peace by compromise and given the
fight the aspect of prolonged one. The
strikers declare I'm their enthusiasm that
they will force the Milwaukee men 10
join with them and that I'm the end the
Chicago steel workers rather than lose
the hall mark OF Unionism will finally re-
consider their action and swing into line.
This optimistic program remains TO be
carried out. however. The loss at Joliet
has had no apparent effect upon the men
who are directing the field operations of
the steel corporation One OF them re-
marked when he heard the news from
Joliet:
well IL seems to be settling down 10 a
long drawn out fight and / guess we can
win at that sort Of game"
SITUATION UNCHANGED.
There were no developments this morn

vania. Ohio or West Virginia. McKees-
port and Wheeling continue silent while
here in Pittsburg and vicinity no e>~t

which are working either partly or in
fun with non-union men. The steel cor

works at Monessen. White men are being
brought up from the south and IL is ex-
pected that by Monday a start will be
made there. Every precaution 10 guard

feared that when they arrive some Of the
strikers and their symps thizers cannot be
held in check by their leaders.
The American Tin Plate Co. officials
have plans for resumption at some OF
their idle plants but have carried no
more OF them out yet.
The strikers claim that the lower union
Carnegie mill anu the Lindsay and Nc
Cutcheon mills are impaired. but this the
steel officials deny.
SHAFFER MAKES A STATEMENT.
Pres. Shaffer was an early arrival at
strike headquarters and talked freely
about the situation. When asked if Trus-
tee Pierce had gone east 10 do some or
ganizing he said
IL will not talk on Mr.. Pierce's trip"
"Will he 60 to Duncansville," was ask

"The Amaigamated Association never
sought to organize those men," he said.
They sent word for us TO send an or
ganizer there We did so with the result
that is already known. We have not
troubled ourselves about them since. They
do not amount to row of pins and II
they do come into the association, IL
must be voluntarily. | have received

period of year 1t is interesting, too,
from the fact that it concerns a noted
parsonage, Prince Bismarck. After
his death his family were exceedingly
annoyed by the public sale of photo
graphs which had been taken after
dissolution had ensued. They might
truthfully be described as "lifelike' in
spite of the circumstance, being I'M
doubtedly genuine. The only question
of criminality was in which of the
watchers that constantly surrounded
his bier had cOnnived at their produc-
ton. This evidence was furnished by
a clock which hangs, and had hung for
years, above the mantel in the room
where the remains reposed, and which
the vandals, in their necessary haste,
had failed to remove. The time stated
on the face Of the clock gave the clew
as to which of the watchers was on
duty at the moment, and being faced
with the relentless and truthful wit

The Arch DESTROYER.

He is a mean, sneaking, underhand-
ed element, the moth is" protests
John Kendrick Banks in an article on
these household pests in the Woman's
Home Companion. Fire has a decent
sense of the proprieties. Moths have
none at all. When fire attacks you it
smokes, and crackles, and Kisses, and
roars, and lets you know in clarion
tones that it has come. The moth
steals upon you in the dead of night,
and chews up your best trousers,
gorges himself upon your wife's furs,
tickles his palate with your SWEETEST
flannel golf-shirt, munches away upon
your handsomest rug, punches holes in
your best sofa-cushions with his tusks.
and then silently folds his tent and
steals away without so much as a
thank-you for his meal. For unmiti-
gated meanness commend me to the
moth! Alongside of the moth and his
nefarious work even a book-agent pales
into insignifcance, and an unpaid
grocer's bill becomes an absolute pleas

COST OF ENGLISH ROYALTY.
Allowances on Which All the Recipi-
ents Ought to Get Along.

The prince of Wales draws 100000
year, an inadequate sum, in the opIn-
ion of Chambers Journal, considering
the public duties relegated to him con-
sequent on the practical withdrawal OF
the queen from public life. 1t is, how
ever, supplemented by an annuity of
900 for the princess of Wales, and
one OF $4,000 yearly, divided among
his children. The princess royal, now
dowager German empress, still draws
her $4,000 year from the British eX-
chequer. The late duke Of Edinburgh
was voted $4,000 a year when he
came of age. When he succeeded to
the dukedom of SaXe-Coburg, one of
the wealthiest inheritances in Europe
inconvenient questions were asked in
the house Of commons as to the rea
sonableness of continuing British
annuity to one who had practically be

MAGNIFICENT JEWELS.
Mrs. John CrexeI Has an ExhaustIess
CaSket

The jewels Of Mrs. John r. Drexel
have been the talk of society this win
ter. She must have an exhaustless
jewel basket, for at each great func-
ton at which she appears she wears
some new and splendid set of Jewels.
Her manner of wearing gems is quite
unique. She always arranges them
differently from any one else. and she
always secures an effect with them.
Her diamonds are famous, for her col,
lection rivals even Mrs. Astor's. She
has many diamond necklaces and
tiaras, and she has ten gorgeous sun
bursts which she wears crossing her
velvet corsage in a line extending from
one shoulder to the waist line diagon-
ally, very large ones being used in the
center and tapering to small ones at
the shoulder. No one but Mrs. Drexel
would ever have thought of arranging
her jewels so, unless it might be the
Countess of Warwick. Mrs. Drexel
made quite a sensation with a fringe
of diamonds which she wore with her
purple velvet gown at the opera. This
blazing fringe started from one shout
der and disappeared under the arm at
the opposite side.
Mrs. DrexePs turquoises are superb.
Very few people can wear turuuoises
and not have them appear cheap. Hers
are Of all sizes, from an inch and a
half across to tiny pinhead size, and
they are all surrounded by diamonds
to enrich them. These turquoises and
diamonds are arranged in strands and
are placed on her corsage in a very
unique fashion. They start in front
beneath superb ornament of tur
quoise and diamonds representing
spray of flowers and leaves. Two
strands extend away on each side and
meet at the back of the corsage, quite
surrounding the decolletage.
A tall turquoise and diamond tiara
is worn with this corsage ornament.
The tout ensemble is mangificent.

Little Betty Palmer"

Ex-senator Palmer's eldest daughter,
now Mrs. Matthews, was, during the
rebellion, the heroine of an exciting &C.
currence, which is told and retold in
Illinois to this day.
She was little Betty Palmer and
only 16 in the wartime days, when her
father was brought back after the
fighting a. Island No. 10, wounded. He
was attended by a negro servant.
whom he left in Carlinville when he re-
turned to the front. There was a law
against bringing slaves into Illinois at
that time, and after General Palmer
returned to his command certain high.
spirited but not warlike gentlemen of
CarllnVIlle determined to teach the
negro servant lesson for his temerity
IN breaking the states law. Accord
lngly, they rode up to the generals
house one night, neatly masked, and
asked for the negro. Mrs. Palmer was

ABOUT the place. He was just stepping
out the door 20 deliver himself into the
hands OF the men. who meant to whip
nm numerically, when little Betty
Palmer ran out. She caught the negro
by the arm, pushed him into the house,
slammed the door, and babe him lock
it. Then she walked calmly out upon
the piazza and began to give the mob
several pieces Of her mind.
She was just slip of a girl, but she
wasn't afraid of anything on earth.
She called this man and that by name,
and flung their cowardice in the faces
Of all of them. They skunk away one
by one, and the girl followed them
down the steps and over the lawn to
the front gate. She dared them to
take off their masks. She dared them
to come back. She jeered at them as
long as they were in sight, and called
after them when they went And then
when it was all over she walked back
to the house and promptly went into
Mysteries.

WANTED HER GRANDMOTHER.
Little Girl Aware of the Good Woman's
Weakness.

A grandmother living In the west
sent word some weeks ago to her
daughters family in New York that
she would be unable to spend Christ
mas with them as planned Great
was the wailing and crashing of teeth
thereat among the grandchildren.
Without their grandmother, Christmas,
Santa Claus and all would scarcely be
Christmas. The other day the grand
mother received a letter
Dear Grandmother" it read, we're
all awful sorry you won't be with Us
Christmas, but, never mind, you'll be
sorry, too, for you'll not see the new
baby that's just come"
The name of the eldest granddaugh-
ter, Ethel, aged 10, signed the letter.
Off went telegram from the amazed
grandmother to her daughter. why,
in Heavens name, was new BABY kept
a secret?" it asked. Have just heard
of it through Ethel's letter. Let me
know particulars at once" If the
grandmother was amazed, the daugh-
ter was dumfounded.
There is no new baby" read her an
swer; "see letter." The whole thing
proved to be an invention of the saga
cious Ethel, who, having observed that
hergrandmother was never known to
fail them upon the arrival of new
baby" took this means of securing her
for Christmas.

Tending the payment. In this extrem-
ity compromise was arrived at. 1t
was announced that his royal highness
had graciously foregone $4,000 a
year, holding on to the odd $4,000, a
sum paid up to the date of his death.
The duke of Connaught enjoys his
full annuity of s125, 900 a year, in addi-
ton to his army pay. The duke OF
Cambridge's annuity of 100000 a year
is augmented in the same direction.

These payments foot up to sS40,000
