Rev. w. auckland, from experiments
on toads in holes of oolitic limestone

cannot live year, and unless il gets

fIttSbuTSH. Gas April lc.-Quitt
prevails about the W. Devices wood
plant of the American Sheet Steel Co.,
at Mckeesport. There was an absence
of idle men lettering on the streets,
and it was evident that the strikers
had retired to their homes to await
the decision of the national advisory
board, in session here, as to the adj
visa bility of calling out the employees
of the ether mills controlled by the
American Sheet Steel Co., to aid them
in their fight.
An Exciting Night.
The strikers had an exciting night.
1t was reported that the company
would nake an attempt to bring out
side men to Mckeesport and that a
score of more OF men were on barges
across the river awaiting an oppor-
tunity to be Struggled into the works.
Patrols were thrown out. and every
avenue of approach guarded, but the
report was evidently without founda-
ton, rs the expected move did not
develop. The hammer house was the
only department in operation, and
unless the sheet mills resume work
soon the men in this department will
have no material to work on after
Friday of this week. ~

that an attempt will soon be made to
start it. The plant has 16 mills.
National Advisory Board.
The members of the national adj
visory board and yice-presidents OF
the AmalgaInated association who had
been called together by President
Sh.ffer to consider measures in con.
nection with the strike, were slow in
assembling. Previous to the meeting,
Mr.. Snaffer said he would ask for pow
err to call ont, at his discretion, the
employees of the American Sheet
Steel Co., and then if he deemed ii
necessary. as a last resort, to extend
the strike order to all the plants OF
the United States Steel corporation.
He did not hesitate to declare his in

resolution requesting the appointment
of a committee to Investigate the re-
cent disfranchisement of the great
mass of negro voters in Louisiana with
n view TO determining whether or not
the states representation in Congress
should be cut down accordingly, Is
likely to stir up one of the hottest
fights of the session.
This resolution has been referred TO
the Rules Committee and that commit
tee is controlled by the majority party,
n favorable report may be expected. If
this resolution should pass and the
committee should report. as 1t undoubt-
edly will in favor of the decreasing of
Louisiana's representation in the
House. fierce party fight would be
precipitated involving the entire ma
jority and minority parts of the House.
Representative Fleming of Georgia
has replied with rejoinder, calling for
the appointment of special committee
to inquire into and determine whether
or not the educational qualification of
Connecticut has not deprived many
male citizens of the right of suffrage.
1t Is claimed that the Connecticut laws
even more severe than those of Louis
lana in this respect. Anyhow, lively
siirinisl between the two parties is
anticipated.

Denver, Dee S.-Bishop Henry w.
Warren of the Methodist Episcopal
Church has been assigned to Asia for
mission work during the coming two
years. He will be in supreme charge
of the whole church interests in Asia

was made at the recent meeting OF
bishops which he attended, and from
which he returned to Denver yester-
day. He will also have charge of all
of India and the district of Manila, and
possibly all of the Philippines, with
vast problems confronting him and in-
tricate questions to decide.
The Methodist bishops are assigned

mission field. Bishop Warren has been
in charge of South American missions

wheat Up and Copper Down

New York. Dec. S.-The markets of
the two great commercial centers of
the United States We're in remarkable
contrast yesterday.
Pandemonium reigned in the Chicago
grain pits and wheat jumped 3lS cents,
followed by corn and oats. Bull enthu-
slasm run riot, without the slightest
effort at restraint or guidance by con-
ditions.
In the New York stock market it was
all the other way. A violent decline
wiped out the small gains of the week
and the list closed below last Satur-
days low-water mark. The feature of
the slump was the fall of Amalgamated
Copper to 649s. with Manhattan close

SERVANT GIRLS ROOMS.
DomcstIcs Are Entitled to Moro Com
Portable Sleeping Apartments.

The servant girls throughout the
country are asking that comfortable
sleeping apartments be assigned them.
AS n rule the room of the hired girl
is the most cheerlcss and contracted in
the house and it is no wonder that she
seeks to fly from it on every occasion
that she receives an invitation to spend
an evening elsewhere Every charit-
able institution in the country built
for paupers and orphans is fitted up
with steam heat, cold water and the
matrOns take great pride in showing
visitors the bathrooms with all the
modern Improvements. And it is not
strange the girls who work for their
living would Ike II few of the privi-
leges that are given TO those who are
living on charity. II is not too much
to assume that the girls who live in our
homes and who cook our meat and
bread for us to eat may possibly have
the same ambitions To keep clean and
comfortable as those who are living in
charitable institutions 1t is not going
beyond the bounds of all reason to
suppose that If II girl is earning her
living she has natural desire to be
self-respecting and might like II closet
to keep her clothes where the moth
and dust doth not corrupt. that she
may like an opportunity to take Il bath

go so far. Men do not and never Will
know women. Women do not know
themselves. The sex is full of contra
dictions. When a women is fondest OF
a man she most delights to tease or
torture him. When she dislikes his
very presence she is often most gra-
cious. Women are often called dreams
and. like dreams, they go by con-
traries. Few men ever get really ac-
quainted with woman until they
have married her and lived with her
awhile. She will hold her true self in
the background and recede as he ad-
vances. That is why many girls who
are popular with men are disliked by
women, who know them better, and
why the favorite of all the women is
sometimes neglected by the men and
permitted to become an old maid.
That. too, is why many men. soon
after marriage, discover that they
have made a grievous mistake. A man
ought not marry a girl in hurry, nor
should he marry one whom he does

consider how his inamorata will look

should compare her with her mother
and should ask himself: Were she

cases and the man that marries should

always be pretty and graceful. Let
