nected with it. His sympathizers in
and around this town have, it is be-
lieved, become so elated because of his
victory in securing his release, that
they now band themselves together
under the nom de plume of No. 113, for
the purpose of forcing members of the
City Council to resign. The council
men will not take notice of the warn
ing. except to make every effort posi-
bic to bring the parties who wrote and
posted the notice to justice, and no
money will be spared to accomplish
that object.

WHAT PREVENTED
THE MARRIAGE.

This incident occurred In Washing
ton not very long ago. says the Star
of that city.
A young man was calling upon the
girl to whom he was engaged. The
couple were sitting on the front steps
fore the fall of darkness, when they
noticed the cat attached to the house
hold of the girls family going down
the steps leading to the basement area
with a tiny field mouse in its mouth.
The cat had caught the mouse In the
vacant lot alongside the house.
Dropping the tiny mouse over in a
corner of the area, the cat proceeded
to torture the little animal after the
accepted feline fashion.
She would permit the mouse to run
away about a yard or so, pretending
that she didn't know that there was
a mouse within miles, and then she
would Jump out, nail the mouse with
her foot and toss II back to the cor

Then she would pick the mouse up
In both of her paws, throw 1t into the

would squeeze itself into corner and
sit up and look at the cat pftifully.
and then the cat would swipe IL out
of the corner with her paw and step
on it. her eyes blazing ecstatically and
her tail swishing. Some natural his

yond, for in the discharge of his duties

an opportunity to, and did by his uni

THE STRENUOUS LIFE.
A Great strain.

No one disputes the fact that we are
living in rapid" age; it is rush,
rush, rush from morning until night,
and competition Is so fierce that the
struggle does not cease until the ma
chine is worn out. Women, too. even
when surrounded by every comfort, be-
come infected by the common spirit
and what with their clubs and many
social duties. have no time to give
thought to their physical well-being
until they are suddenly brought to a
sharp realization Of the fact that moth
ing in their lives is so important as at
tention to correct, or rational living.
IT may surprise the readers to learn
that women are more prone to piles

THE LATEST IN

If you do not happen to posses a sin
gle-breasted waistcoat with a notched
collar--and it Is scarcely likely that
you do, for they have been out of fash
ion for about fifteen years-it will be
necessary to visit a tailor at once, IL
you would show acquaintance with the
latest style in mems wear for this fall
Insist on seven buttons, says the
New York Times, for some tailors who
persist in ignoring Poole and the whole
ing them with only six. In this case,
economy is criminal; seven buttons,
with the lowest one at least two and
d half inches from the bottom and a
cutaway effect, are the orders of those
who direct the footsteps of sartorial
style.
Extreme care should also be taken
regarding the silk used in facing the
roll of the shawl collar of the evening
dress. The silk will extend to the edge
of the collar in the fashion of last year
But heretofore the use of figured silk
has been optional This year 1t is
imperatively necessity.
No man Of sensitive feelings should
risk the possibility of inviting the scorn
of his fellow mortals and missing the
best parts of the play by attending a
first night in a coat which is not faced
with figured silk. Better occupy an
orchestra seat in check suit worthy
the late Lawyer Howe. when at least
you may be thought to be merely orig
inaI.
And, talking of dress suits, better get

The rounder, more U-shaped style is
no longer recognized.

If they don't, pad the legs.

THE GERMAN TARIFF.
Little Prospect Now of Harmonious
Action in the Reichstag.

Action in the Reichsfag.
Berlin, Sept. 23.-The custom tariff
committee of the Reichstag began the
second reading of the tariff bill yes
terday. The section relating to agri-
cultural and garden products was
taken up first.
Baron Won Wangenheim moved to
increase to $1.871z per double hundred
weight the duties of a number of i'm
ports, including wheat, rye, barley and
oats
Count Won Posadowsky Wehner OPP
posed the motion on behalf of the gov
eminent.
In the resumption of the discussion
on the tariff bill by the committee it
was evident that the outlook for posi-
tive results had grown more dismal
since the adjournment on Aug. IL.
Within the last few days the three
most important political parties, name
ly, the Centrists,4 German Conserva-
tive and Free Conservatives, have held
a caucus on the situation and adopted
a resolution to abide by the agrarian
increases adopted ait the first reading
in the tariff committee and which the
government repeatedly pronounced I'M
acceptable.
Altogether the tariff bills prospects
are uncertain and many experts in
Reichstag politics regard it's failure
as highly probable.
1t is evident that the higher prices
of meats will play a considerable role
in the bye-elections, in the newspa-
pers and in further debates, as we'll
as in the general election.
The butchers guild of Berlin has
just added 21a cents per pound to the
price Of pork, making it 261a cents. A
good fillet costs 48 cents.

The mouse was sitting up in the

since. There is going to be no mar

The presence of the negroes greatly ex-
cited the strikers and there has been
more or less disorder ever since.
Tonight the strikers fired several
volleys at the works H. M. NJ. Rich

wounded. He was standing in the pud-
die mill office when a bullet crashed
through window and struck him in
the side. President Sternberg and
Supt. Culliney were standing with Mr..
Richards when the latter was shot.
Later six men were placed under ar
rest by the troops. This had a salu-
tary effect and the crowd soon dis
persed.
Col. Clement has established head
quarters in the local armory and be-
fore sending his battalion to strike
duty he paraded them through the
principal streets. 1t was necessary sew
eral times to drive back the crowds
with bayonets and Col. Clement warn
cd the nobs that if persuasion would
not suffice, force would be used to any
extent that was necessary TO preserve
order.
Shortly before the arrival of the
troops the rioters were in frenzy and
that no casualties were reported seems
remarkable. A mob of men took pos
