STATUS0F F|REMEN'S STRIKE
IT MAY SOON BE AT AN END
Insist That the Kline workers D~nue
Their Position Definitely Once For
ALL Omcial Statement Issued From
Fire mems Headquarters.

WAncSOdTTe, f6., July ZZ.-Tho
stationary firemen's strike will soon
be at an end. At q meeting of the
executive officers Of the United Min.
workers and the officers OF the are
mems order, the fremen insisted that
the mine workers define their posi-.
ton definitely once for all, as 1t was
impossible to carry on the strike II
the United Mine workers opposed it.
With that object in view the execu-
tive officers of the mine workers
agreed to come to this city and meet
the strikers. The United Mine work.
ers were represented by 26 oficers
OF the three districts. The Stationary
Firemen's association was represent.
ed by J. F. Mullahey. president OF the
association; Thomas Barrett, vice
president; J. A. Gerrity, secretary;
Brodus Langdon and ]. F. Wade.
T. d. Nichols, president Of District
No. IA. opened the discussion. He
said the strike was inopportune at
this time. It was detrimental to the
miners, who were under agreement
with the operators to remain at
work for one year and II the United
Mine workers remained out It would
mean the sacrifice Of the good will
Of the coal operators.
President Fahey OF the Ninth dis
trict. also spoke against the strike.
He claimed the strike was inoppor.
tune and that his men were opposed
to it. President Duffey Of the Sew.
enth district. said the firemen in his
district did not 60 out on strike. This
showed lack OF unity and the strike
could not succeed.
The following ofhcial statement
was issued from firemen's headquar-
tiers tonight:
after the officers Of the three dis
tricts Of the United Mine Workers
defined the attitude they contemplate
ed assuming toward the hremen
should their strike continue we
thought that It would be to the in
terest Of all concerned to bring u to
q speedy termination and in conse-
Quence thereof we made PROPOSE
tons to them which were adopted.
after which we instructed the firemen
to pursue all honorable means to
have their positions returned. Al
though the strike Is not yet declared
OF until after the answers are receiv-
ed from their employers. yet 1t seems
to be the prevailing opinion that
should they be favorable the action
Of the delegates Monday evening
will end the strike. But should any
one now out OF employment on the
ground Of the strike be Disseminated
against the end would be as far on as
ever. The firemen are determined to
stand by those who sacrificed their
positions before they would take our
places. All of the fremen who are
still at work shall remain until after
this convention.

ornamented by a sbeay-Rsad and golden
tasscls. The red and white stripes In the
flag are broad satin ribbons. sewed to-
gether. and the union is a square of blue
satin. upon which the stars are worked
In white silk. Imposed upon the flag Is
an escuteheon-shaped shield of white taft

of Washington, with a facsimile of his
familiar autograph worked in black SILK
underneath. The words First In war.
first in peace, and first In the hearts OF
his countrymen" are inscribed upon the
shield In a similar manner.
Miss Davila made much-enlarged
drawing from a cabinet photograph, rep
resenting Washington as he appears in
his best-known portrait, by Gilbert Stuart,
and upyn this she executed her pictorial
needlework. She had determined she
says. to show how far needlework could
no. firmly believing that she could accom-
plish with the needle whatever could be
done with pen or crayon. The result is
truly remarkable. At FIRST glance, the
portrait appears to be a fine steel engrav-
ing, and. so far as the face is concerned.
this impression remains after the closest
scrutiny, the innumerable minute sfitches
blending of the black and grey silk
threads, of hair-line fineness. upon the
white background. that the delicate
shades of steel engraving are perfectly
reproduced. Even the expression OF the
eyes Is denoted with the life-Iikeness Of
the best steel engraving, while the
y rinkles in the forehead and the texture
Of the fifty, powdered hair are faithfully
depicted. As a likeness of its subject. the
needlework is far more realistic than the
photograph which served as the basis of
the design.
Many elaborate and beautiful samples
of embroidery work. plain and in colors,
upon satin cushions, silk handkerchiefs.
etc. which Miss Davila has also brought
with her. she considers of slight account
in comparison with the Washington por-
trait. She says that her natural aptitude
for her work was such that she never re-
quired instruction, and, although she new
er studied drawing. she makes all her de-
s!g7s and draws her own patterns. Art
embroidery. she reports. is especially cuf-
tivated among the women of Porto Rico.
and is considered a necessary part of
their education. It is taught in the con-

schools established for that purpose alone.

Tramc in slave Girls.

1t is not creditable to the city govern
ment of San Francisco that it was found
necessary to call in the Federal authors
ties to break up the traffic in slave girls
in Chinatown. For years this traffic has
been going on. and by various cunning
frauds young Chinese girls have secured
entrance to the city either-by false cer-
tihcates at this port or by being smuggled
over the British Columbia border, says
the New York Tribune As good look
ing Chinese girl is worth several thousand
dollars, there was a large profit in the
business to the slave dealers, and these
men are now fighting In the courts
against the Federal officials movements
to clean Chinatown of this Infamous traf-
fic. Several raids haye been made by
United States District Attorney Wood
worth and number of slave girls have
been seized. 1t is the Governments plan
to deport to China these girls as fast as
proof can be established that they are
Illegally held. As this will mean a dead
loss of from 5000 to $1,000 on each girl
the Shareholders cannot long endure such
drain on their resources, and the result
will be that the practice will be broken
up, and this foul business will cease. A
good beginning was made this week, when
one girl. recently arrested, was ordered
deported, as she had no certificate. and
1t MAS proved that she was not born here.

Gently arrived in this country for the ex-
press purpose of exhibiting at the PAN
American Exposition at Buffalo
the art to which she has devot-
ed her life. This is a portrait of
Washington, which is at once an excellent
likeness of the Father of His Country,
according to accepted portraiture, and an
example of the finest kind of delicate
work with the needle.
The composition. of which the portrait
is the centre, Is enclosed in a massive
gilded frame, which was made to order
for the artist after her arrival in New
York, says the Evening Post" An inner
frame surrounding the glass was made
by Miss Davila (she prefers to drop the
Spanish "Senorita'), and is in itself a
very curious and interesting piece of work.

beautiful forms, very sldllfully cut out of
undressed leather, and deity pinned to-

Our National Defect.

Have you ever noticed the agonized
expressions on the faces of nearly all of
the women whom you see as strangers on
the streets and In public conveyances if
they happen to be alone?" is a question
asked by the New York Tribune "Ev-
cry one looks worried, cross, or misera-
bic. All the small perplexities and ankle
ties incident to their various occupations
and purposes are written legibly on their
faces. If they have companions, how
ever, ii Is different; the American woman
forgets her troubles as easily as a French
woman, and her countenance becomes an
mated. agreeable. and often charming.
1t Is not only among the surging crowd
that one sees these unhappy looking coun-
tenances, but those who roll by in open
carriages, if they happen to be alone,
have the same expression of worried care,
and added to it a certain hauteur, an un
becoming lift of the eyebrows that is
either due to the difficulty of keeping
their bonnets straight In the wind or in
consciousness of high steppers and foot
men. But whatever the reason, and
whether the women are rich or poor, not
one woman in fifty possesses the art of
keeping a smooth, pleasant countenance
in the street when her face is at rest"

A WOMAN Don Maker.

Miss Nellie Morrison. of Salina, Kan,
has made small fortune manufacturing
corn husk dolls. Her trade extends all
over the United States and Europe. When
child she made these dolls for her little
friends. The demand was so great that
she sold them for % cents each. Now she
is twenty-eisht years old and sells the
dolls by the hundred at the same price.
The first corn carnival held in Atchison
in 1895 brought Miss Morrison prominent
w before the public. Her dolls exhibited
there leaped at once into popular favor,
and she received more orders than she
could possibly fill She has never been
able to find an assistant who could put
the corn husks together as skillfully as
she herself does the work. She is kept
busy day and night supplying the demand.
She has sent the queer dolls to Germany
and France, and recently shipped large
lot to England. She says she does not
know exactly how many dolls she has
made, but the number would run into the
thousands.
Miss Morrison uses about as many
husks as are found on an ordinary ear
of corn to make each doll. The cob serves
for the body. The face is covered with 4
husk and the features painted on Inc
corn silk is used for the hair. The dress
is full skirt of husks, with a shirtwaist
and Elton jacket. corn husk sash. en-
circles the waist. The hat Is Dig scoop
bonnet trimmed with tasseis. In her right
hand the doll holds a dainty parasoi made
of firm straw with particularly silky
hISk for q cover.

Bridget,s Grievance.

The wife of a clever detective is said
to have powers nearly equal to those pos
sessed by her husband. Not long ago she
began to notice that dimes and quarters
were daily disappearing as If By magic
from the Change purse in which she
kept silver for small purchases. She was
inclined 10 suspect one of her two maids
a Sullen Irish girl, but was unwilling 10
accuse her. After some thought she wrote
on slip of paper, Neither Bridget nor
Celia must take any money from this
purse This slip she put into the purse
with some silver and awaited Develop
ments.
Two days later Bridget came to her and
gave warning"
what is the matter?'' asked .he mis-
treSs, innOCently.
I'm be going to another place." said
Bridget, vindictively. and it's yourself
that knows the rayson. I'll not stay in a
house where I'm accused of stealing
money out of a little ould purse that's
nivver had more than g in 1t since I
took service here,'-Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Tip to Bridegroom..

A young clerk in a downtown office ex-
poets to be married next week, and never
before has he been arrayed in such gor-
geous splendor. He has heretofore been
regarded as youth who would rather
save his money for a rainy day than put
it on his back while the sun shines, and
his remarkable conduct on the eve OF his
wedding has aroused all sorts of specula-
ton. A new suit of clothes every day,
and especially to business, has caused
much comment.
why don't you wait until after you
are married before you air your trous-
seau?" asked one Of his fellow clerks.
You'll be as shabby as ever before the
great event comes Off Then, when you
bride is all decked out in her. new frills,
she'll be downright ashamed of you.
What dye mean. anyhow?
The prospective Benedict glanced fur
lively about, like the villain In the play.

but I'll let you in on it. It's a little scheme

We've been talking it all over. We've
read all about how brides and grooms are
always spotted on trains and in hotels
and everywhere they go, so, we want to
get the newness of our clothes worn on
before we start. That's the reason I'm
wearing mine around the Office.
But I'm afraid she has fallen down on
the arrangement. You see, when girl
gets whole lot of new pretty things
around and get EN- mussed up. She
wears her travelling dress around the
house, though, and that's getting to look
as though it wasn't very new. Oh, were

she gave him a charming addition to his
| shaving set, a handsome gotten together
camel's hair brush, set in solid silver. with
his initials the handle, together with
box of shallow depth. designed to hold
his cake of shaving soap.
The brother expressed his sincerest ap-
probation. 1t was so thoughtful of the
dear girl 10 give him a nice new brush and
glass. The very things he needed most
The donor was complacent. AT the close
of her visit she was willing to affirm that
she was the prize picker OF presents.
The next time she came to see the man
and his wife she blundered on an unnerv-
ing discovery. The camel's nair shaving
brush was where it had formerly reposed.
The silver topped cup was nowhere In evil
dence on the table reserved for the mans
shaving things. Later in the course of her
second visit she learned that the brush
was doing duty as n painting tool, and
with its assistance gilt tints were spread
on fragile chairs that had borne many
weights in the drawing room. As for the
cup. she found that on the dresser of her
sister-in-law. filled to the brim with cold
