 A Southeru Writer.

A Southern Writer.
 Miss Lafayette McLaws, an Augusta tGa-) giri. who was educated at the Lucy Cobb Institute in Athens, Ga. Is among the successful young Southern writers Her first book. ''When the Land Was Young" Is said to be already among the best selling. New York exchange says of Mss McLaws:
 .aThe men of Miss McLaws's family for generations have been soldiers, when they were not lawyers. so that it Is not unnatural that she should write a novel of adventure. Antoinette. the heroine of her story. is also the heroine of her im- agination. She likes just that sort of sirI--and a good sort she is. too. barring Miss McLaws was educated partly in the girls college in Georgia. and partly at private schools in Boston. She learned everything that she was taught except how to spell. Over this lack in her edu- cation her friends grieve, but she bear. it more philosophically and laughs. She is not the only writer who cannot spell. I could name st least two among the best-known who are such bad spoilers that they, like Miss McLaws, make joke of their misfortune. When the Land Was Young was written last summer.
 Miss McLaws is now writing a novel of Biblical setting. which. from informa- ton received. will undoubtedly be a work of unique importance, as the Biblical his- tory Is interwoven with that of the con- temporary civilizations of the period. JeEebel,' the title, Is most attractive"

Women of Venice scorn Fashion.

The women of Venice care nothing about stylish clothes. and Dame Fash ions rule is no law for them. Their dress is always dark, plainly made. neither short nor long. The universal open-air garment for all ages and all sizes is the black shawl with a deep silken fringe, folded with a short point above and Q low point below.
 Hats are unknown. The heelless slip per of the east is universally worn. In matters of dress, the women of Venice are independent, wearing purely local clothes; but with feminine inconsistency they follow the fashion of the outside world in the arrangement of the hair, and coiffures change from year to year, &C., cording to the modes in vogue in Lon don and Paris.

SEEKS BIG LOAN.
President Palma and Cabinet Will
Ask Congress to Assist
Sugar Planters.

Havana, June 21.-President Palma
and his cabinet at a special meeting
Friday decided to distribute $4,000, 900
among the sugar planters and 100000
to cattle raisers. This action il
deemed necessary to save the sugar
planters from absolute ruin, as the re-
suit of the failure of the United States
senate to pass the reciprocity measure
SO urgently recommended by President
Roosevelt. The money will be raised
by loan, payable in two years. The
money will be advanced to sugar plant
ers at the rate of so cents per IS
pounds. It. will be repaid to the gov
eminent in two installments in Febru-
airy and March. Cattle raisers will be
paid premium. of five dollars for each
animal imported for breeding pur-
poses. Further than this, all such cat
tie will be admitted free of duty. The
cabinet also decided to increase the
tariff on many articles upon which the
import duty is now extremely low.
President Palma will send special
message to congress early next week,
urgently recommending that he be
granted authority to borrow, $780,
900 for the purposes stated. It Is be-
lieved that the loan will be taken up
readily by Havana bankers and that
the money required will be raised with
little DELAY.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
ing of vital Consequences to
Labor and Capital.

Madison, Wis, June 20. = The SUI
preme court declares that the state
law which prohibits any employer
from discharging an employe because
he belongs to labor organization Is
contrary to the employers constitu-
tional rights. and therefore void.
The court recognizes the right OF
men to combine in labor organiza-
tions. If an employers liberty were
curtailed by legislation, however, that
of an employee could be likewise cur
tailed. Thus an employee might be
punished for quitting work because
his employer had formed blacklist
organization for any other objection
able combination. The decision OF
the supreme court is a most impor-
tant one. It Is vital to labor and cap
ital alike, and will undoubtedly at
tract widespread attention.

It became known that Albert A. Ames,

tary, Thomas r. Brown, appointed

when it became evident that Philip
Megaarden would be removed from

feasance. In attempting to carry out
this plan, he is alleged to have Of

SEQ, 900 annual income of the sheriff's
office should be divided equally be-

commissioners who were to vote for
him, forming a majority of the
board. The evidence to this effect

County Commissioners NJ. w. Nash

CALL IS ISSUED.
United Mine workers to Hold Nation
Al Convention ut Indianapolis,
July II.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 19.-An
official call for a national conven-
ton of the United Mine Workers of
America was issued Wednesday af-
ternoon from the national headquar-
tiers in this city by Secretary-treas-
urer Wilson. The convention will
meet here July IL to determine
whether the soft coal miners of the
country shall go on strike to as
sist the striking anthracite miners
Of Pennsylvania. The basis of the
apportionment of delegates to the
convention is one for every 100 mem
bers of the local union or fraction
over so. This will make a conven-
ton Of 1000 delegates. The voting
strength of all locals is between
$500 and 2,40o. OF this the conven-
ton will have a voting strength of
from 100 to 1900. A bare majority
can order strike. A little over 900
can declare a strike. The anthra-
cite regions cast TAT votes, Virginia
and Michigan, which Joined in tho
call for the convention, have SO, MAX
ing 799 votes from these five districts
which united to call the convention.
As stated at headquarters. condi-
tions are not satisfactory to miners
in Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and
Indian Territory, and It is believed
the delegates from these sections
will vote for a strike.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 21.-Friday
was one Of the quietest days around
strike headquarters since the anthra-
cite mine workers suspended opera
tions six weeks ago. Nothing devel-
oped and neither President Mitchell
nor the coal company officials had any
thing to Say regarding the situation.
Reports from the entire regionwere to
the effect that all the mining towns
were very quiet and that the 10000
idle men and boys are keeping away
from the collieries.

POPE WILL ACCEPT.
Leo Practically Agrees to Proposals
Of Gov. Taft Regarding
Friars' Lands.

Rome, June 20-The pope has not
definitely accepted the propositions Of
Gov. Taft for the settlement Of the
questions regarding the friars lands in
the Philippine islands, but 1t Is conf
IDENTIFY believed that the pontiff will
do so in writing this morning.
The American propositions are az
follows:
First-To purchase the lands belonging
to the friars, the price to be hxed by
arbitration.
second-The appointment of arbiters to
decide the indemnity the Americans are
to pay for the occupation OF ecclesiastical
buildings.
Third-The above propositions are abb
soiuteiy conditional on the withdrawal
OF the friars
Fourth-If the other propositions are 90
cepted the Americans propose to give
deed or by law grant patent to &C.
clesiastical buildings on public land.
Fifth-To settle by compromise or ar
bitration the several trusts for schools.
hospitals. etc. claimed on the one hand
by the civil and on the other by the
church authorities.
The announcement of the success
of the Taft mission has produced con-
siderable surprise, not because Q
serious doubt had been entertained
of the ultimate issue, but because
the dispatch used in the settlement
Of the question is so contrary to the
habit of vatican diplomacy. The un-
usual procedure is due to the per-
sonal and direct Intervention of the
pope, who, one of the most infiuen-
tial cardinals said, showed himself
more American than the Americans.
Leo refused to listen to objections.
He said he wanted to finish immedi-
ately to satisfy Gov. Taft, as he was
most impressed with American hon.
esty and the moderation shown
throughout the entire negotiations.
