TO DISCUSS STRIKERS Relief.
Conference Today-MitcheII says
Harrisburg Meeting Was
Futile.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 16.-Sheriff
Jacobs and a large number of depu-
ties assembled at the court house at
an early hour yesterday morning in
anticipation of trouble occurring at
some of the mines. But outside OF an
outbreak at Old Forge, in which an
Italian was badly beaten by strikers,
the day was very quiet one in the
strike region. National Board Mem
Der John Fallon went to Nanticoke
early yesterday morning to head Off
any trouble in that section and other
prominent officials of the United
Mine Workers went to other parts Of
the county to advise against any
marches on the collieries. But no
marches were attempted, neither was
there any effort made to resume work
at any of the big mines. 1t is said
the attempt may be made when least
expected, probably some day this
week.
An important. conference will be
held at strike headquarters today.
Among those who will take part will
be President Mitchell, District Presi.
dents Nichols, Duffy, Fahy and Ma.
tional Treasurer Wilson, of Indian.
apolis, and Samuel B. Gompers, pres
ident Of the American Federation cf
Labor. Bishop Fallows, Of the Re
formed Episcopal church, Of Chicago,
may also be present 1t is stated the
chief topic that will be discussed will
be the relief plan. Mr.. Gompers, it
is said, has some proposition to make
which will insure steady relief for the
striking miners all winter, should they
decide to continue the battle.

Letter Writing Ccasing.

The autograph letter is rapidly be-
coming q thing Of the past. Shorthand
and the typewriter have killed it. No
business man nowadays writes q let
ter with his own hand; he supplies the
matter and his signature, and his typist
does the rest 1t is an age of short
cuts, and even literary men find it
more profitable to dictate than to
write their copy. One Of the most sue
cessful Of modern newspaper proprie-
tors confessed the other day that he
had not written a letter for seven
years, although his private correspond
ence amounted to more than fifty let
tiers daily.
Cabinet ministers alone seem to cling
to the old tradition. Lord Salisbury
abhors a typewriter letter, and Mr..
Arthur Balfour writes a large part of
his correspondence himself. Even Mr..
Chamberlain, who is essentially up
to date, seems to regard the typewriter
as altogether inferior to the telegraph

It is the Pewter wedding Now.

The wooden wedding that comes at
the fifth anniversary has never been
very popular institution, the wood
enware seeming trife farcical, so that
the pewter wedding which has come to
usurp its place finds a warm welcome
awaiting it. Much Of the modern pew
ter is most artistic. The best is not
that of very white lustre, neither is it
capable of receiving a polish that sim
ulates silver. The color OF the antique
Dutch and English composition is pre-
ferred, and in the designing many good
old forms are preserved. The art nou-
veau movement has had little effect
upon the best pewter, but colored
stones are much USED in bringing out
the design. For instance, richly col
Ored Connemara stones are sunk en-
cabochen in the pewter, and these,
with Scotch pebbles, bits of highly
polished onyx, black and white lava
malachite and cameo saell, with oc-
casional touches Of enamel, give plenty
of color. Nearly every household ar.
ticle is now made in pewter. Many
branched candelabra, decanters with
polished boar tusk handles, waist
clasps with green enamel decorations
are among the possible gifts for {
pewter wedding. A hammer marked
vase set with Connemara stones is very
attractive. An elaborate toilet set con
