For Elderly Women.

In the mixed Oxford suitings in dark
gray and black are number of differ
ent qualities that make up well in coat
and skirt, and it is just as necessary
for an older woman to have coat and
skirt costume as for young girl. The
skirt is best that has tlaring tiounce
at the side and front breadth narrow
er at the top than at the bottom and
with skirt of medium length. The jack
ct should always be three-quarter
length and with straight fronts with
pointed revers and fronts faced with
some dull silk so that the coat can be
worn open if desired. If woman Is
stout, she should have her coat made
rather shapeless and with box back,
with seam in the middle. and at the
sides curved in somewhat to the figure,
this being more becoming than tight
fitting jacket. In black wool light
weight material made in this way, with
the flounce trimmed with bands or
folds Of satin, makes smart gown

NEW SHORT STORIES
SINNERS Knitted by Mrs. Nj

Slippers knitted by Mrs. Mckinley.
\ visitor at the White House found
the wife of the president busy as usual
knitting the wooden tops to Slipper
soles. a pleasant protest that the first
lady of the land should so steadily en-
ploy herself was we'll answered. Why
shouldn't she knit the slippers? 1t was
about all that she could do in her state
of health. Perhaps the good accom-
plished was more than the caller APP
preciated And then the gentle lady
told with undisguised satisfaction of
the sale of a pair of her slippers at a
New England fair for good purpose.
The slippers had brought $500, which
had gone for the benefit of the cause.
If there existed desire for the possess
sion of pair of slippers knitted by
the wife of the president measured by
such Il sum. why should she not try
to meet it and thereby extend help to
worthy objects. Mrs. Mckinley de-
Tended her vocation admirably.
Relating to the leather soles of these
slippers, there is a story which en-

it recently. On one occasion, early in
the first term, Vice President Hobart
came into the presence of the lady
| while she had her knitting in hand. He
picked up from table near by sole
upon which work had not been begun
where 90 you get these?" he asked
when he had learned of the charitable
purpose of the industry.
Mrs. Mckinley replied that she
bought the soles by the dozen.
"Well," said the vice president
''these are made at. my factory. l will
4 see that hereafter you are supplied
with the soles for the slippers without
| cost. That shall be my contribution
| to the good work"
From that day, so long as he lived
| Vice President Hobart saw that the
stock of soles, as often as it ran low
through Mrs. Mckinley's industry, was
replenished. and after the death of thu
vice president Mrs. Hobart continued
the contribution from the factory.

friend Rainey went ahead and bored
for natural gas without consulting Mr..
Latimer and his divining rod the engi-
neer felt hurt and little provoked
"Why, man. he said there you've
gone ahead and let blind chance guide
you, while l would have located the
sure thing if you had only sent me
word"
But struck it," protested Mr..
Rainey.
Struck what?" cried Mr. Latimer.
"Struck a pocket, that's what you've
struck. You'll see. 1t can't last, tell
you. You've made one of the biggest
mistakes of your life
And thereafter every time Mr.. Latl-
mer met Mr.. Rainey he berated him
for scorning the divining rod and
warned him that his gas supply would
soon be exhausted.
Mr.. Rainey began to expect this at
tack every time Mr.. I.atimer came in
sight, and he prepared himself to coun-
teract it by saying, But the gas still
flows, Charley" And the. divining
rods hacker would walk away, shak-
ing his head in foreboding manner.
And then one day Mr.. Latimer died
very suddenly.

Landscape Gardening For Women.

Landscape gardening is a calling that
must be learned the same as any other.
A young man would be expected to de-
vote some years to it's study and prac-
tice before he could be intrusted with
the commission of work of much impor-
lance and there is no reason why less
should be expected of woman. Good
work is demanded, and in order to meet
the demand there must be thorough
knowledge of all its details, and this
can only come through practical expe-
rience. II woman has aptitude for
the profession and is willing to serve
an apprenticeship at it, as a man must,
there is no reason why she should not
undertake the work provided she is
physically strong.-Eben e. Rexford in
Ladies' Home Journal.

STRIKE ORDER
Applies to Employees Of All
Sheet Steel Mills.
Joint Conference of Employers
and Workmen Fails.
10000 MEN INVOLVED.
President Shaffer Says Manu-.
facturers' Refusal to Sign
Is Challenge to a Fight Which
Has Been Accepted.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 29-The joint
conference committee of the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron. Steel and
Tin Workers and the American Sheet
Steel company and the American Steel
Hoop company, which has been in ses-
sion here was unable to reach an
agreement on the wage scale for the
ensuing year and adjourned finally
after a session of less than twenty
minutes. The Amalgamated Associa-
tion officials asked that the scale be
signed for all the union mills, and the
manufacturers presented a counter
proposition, not only refusing to sign
for all the union mills. but stipulating
that two that were included last year
be excepted from the scale this year.
The conference then broke up, and
President Shaffer at once issued a
strike order The strike will involve all
the union sheet mills in the country,
and about 10000 skilled workmen.
When seen by a representative of the
Associated Press, President Shaffer said:
THE American Sheet Steel company
signed the scale last year in all our
union mills except the Woods mills at
McKeeSport.
During the year they took advant-
age of the conditions existing at the
Scottdale and Salisbury plants to
lead the WOrknen from the Organiza-
ClOnsanQ now Tney OIIer TO sign the scale
at the reduced number of union mills.
The policy of the Amalgamated associ-
alton under my administration has
been conserva tive and for peace, but
now tits merely a matter of which side
holds out the longest"
When asked what the strike order
meant, he said: It's a fight. They
threw down the gauntlet and we took
it up. That's what it means
A shutdown of the union plants of
the American Sheet Steel company will
involve nine of 4he largest sheet plants
in the country. The company oper-
ates a total of "a plants. but the largest
of these are the organized establish
ment The Amalgamated association
controls SIS per cent. of the production
of the company. and a long shutdown
of this proportion of it's plants would
mean an inestimable loss with the
present rush of orders.
Notwithstanding President Shaffer's s
order, it is thought another effort will
be made next week to effect a settle
ment as it is well known that neither
side is anxious for a protracted shut
down. The Amalgamated officials
would not object to a suspension of
two or three weeks. for the reason that
the men are worn out with the steady
run ever since the first of the year.

FLAG HAULING
Incident at Skagway Is Not
Known Officially.

Washington, June 29.-The state de-
partment has not received any repre-
sentation concerning the flag incident at
Skagway, where much excitement IS
said to have been caused by the hauling
down of a British customs ensign raised
at that point. Based on the press re-
ports of the affair, the officials do not
attach serious Importance to the Incl
dent itself, although it is recognized
that the matter might assume import
ance if the raising of the flag was an
assertion OF British sovereignty over
that locality. In that event there Is no
doubt that the state department would
take cognizance OF the matter But as it

designating where customs may be
paid, and not the British emblem indi-

The modus vivendi made on October

British charge here, established a pro-
visional line running some distance
north of SkagWay, the summit of the

For the present no official attention will

CUT HIS WAY OUT.
Negro Carves His Way to Lib
erty, Through Mob.

Panther,W Va, June 29-The attempt
of mob to lynch a negro at Jager, five
miles south of here, resulted in the kill
ing of two of the lynchers. The negro,
Peter Price. was accused of insulting a
white woman. He was pursued by q
crowd of men and sought refuge in a
small room in the rear of a saloon The
mob battered down the door and as they
entered the room Price threw himself
at them with the ferocity of tiger, with
a knife in each hand In cutting his
way out he killed George Hooks and
F. M AIcGran and seriously cut Chas.
Davis.
AS Price struck down these men the
others fell back and the negro made his
escape through an open window. Sew
eral members of the mob brought re-
vOlvers into play, but they succeeded in
infiicting only two slight flesh wounds.
Price was pursued and captured by off,

Pittsburg. June 29.-The Atlantic ex-
press on the Pennsylvania railroad,

made. The switch had been turned and
