MRS. CUMMINS WON THEM
WIVES OF soLoNs WE'RE CHARMED
Position of the Governor Strength
ened by the Gracious HOspi-
tnlity OF His ConsOrt.
Special to The Journal.


Des Moines, Iowa, April l9.-Gossip in So
cal circles has it that Mrs A. B. Cum
Minis, wife of the governor achieved com
plete conquest of the hearts of the ladies OF
the members of the legislature in the course
or the session just, ended. 1t is not putting
the case too strongly to say Mrs Cummins
has these members of the fair sex hypno-
tised. Here in Des Moines it is all the talk
1t is recorded that Iohu Henry Gear used to
say of Mrs. Cummins. that she was his most
dangerous opponent for United States sem
Rtor .~- 49,. .. 3
The distinguished senator's dictum is borne
out by what has been happening here in the
, last three months and it is safe to say that
If Governor Cummins needed to be strength
ened in order to insure himself another term
his wife has been able to do it.
What has so charmed the ladies who have
gathered here from various points is the
series of receptions that were held regularly
during the session by Mrs. Cummns Her
home was thrown open for these and in the
course Of the session the wife of every mem
Der who was here was invited to receive with
Mrs. Cummius This, in connection with
many other acts of hospitality. on her part,
has had it's inevitable effect . ...-.,...., g..
Moreover, the ladies of Des .Moines, who
thronged in great numbers to the reception,
were greatly pleased with them and altogether
1t is difficult to how the governors wife
could have achieved more of social triumph
than she has, though in an unobtrusive way.
The gossips say that the Cummins family
is spending less receptions and that sort
of thing than the Shaws used to. And while
the Shaws were lavish in expenditures they
did not come up to Governor Drake, who, it
is said, expended more money for public
functions during his administration than has
been expended by any otner governor.

AFFECTION OF SCHOOL GIRLS
Principal Would Stop Undignified
Displays of Regard.

Special to The Journal.
Chicago, April 19.-Lake View high school
girls are too affectonate. More than that
Principal Benjamin f. Buck, who made the
discovery, says it is worse :; they display their
affection in public in an undignif1ed manner.
Principal Buck has set out to stop it, and
the result Of his announcement Of his inten-
ton caused an incpient rebellion among his
pupils to-day.
s He has forbidden the girls to put their
arms about each other while in the building,
or to go about the hall thus linked together,
or to kiss each other on meeting, or other
wise to show that they share the rest of the
worlds affection for them. The girls buzzed
angrily about the building at the noon recess
and after school several Of them openly defed
the principal.
Trouble began at the opening Of school in
the morning. The pupils meet in small class
rooms. In each Of these the teachers in
charge announced to them that Principal
Buck had made up hts mind that the prac-
tice must stop
Joseph H. Sheffield, who teaches Caesar
to the second-year pupils, and is not popular
among the young women, grew facetious over
it. ct is bad practice, he sad grinning
at the class sit can have but one Of two
reasons, either Of them bad. Either It is
done entirely to tantalize the boys in which
case 1T must stop, or it is done to show atfec-
ton for each other, and that I doubt if you

LOSS OF FORM.

After women pass middle age tbey lose a considerable amount of their height, not by stooping as men Go. but by actual collapse, sinking down: this is mainly to be attributed to the perishing of the muscles that support the frame. in consequence of habitnal and constant pressure or corsets. and dependence upon the artificial support by them afforded. Every girl that wears corsets that press upon these muscles and restrict the free develop ment of the fibers that form them. relieving them Of their natural du- ties of supporting them from so doi.le. may feel sure that she is preparing herself to be dumpy woman.
 A great pity, Failure of health among women when the vigor of youth passes away is too potent, and but ioo commonly caused by this practice
 Most women from long custom of wearing the corset, are really unaware how much they are hampered and le- stricted. < girl of 20. intended hy nature to be one of her finest speci- mens, gravely assures one that her corsets are not tight, being exactly the size as those sine was first put into. HUI pefctlN1HS Ter COuueIHudIlOn III tne fact that she has since grown five inches in height and two in shoulder breadth. Her corsets are not too tight because the constant pressure has pre- vented the natural development of heart and lung space. The dainty waist of the poets is precisely that flexible slimness that is destroyed ny corsets. The form resulting from them is not slim. but q piece of pipe, and quite as flexible.

 CTS With Shutdown Notice.
 AUGUSTA, Ga, April 3.-The fol- lowing notice, signed by the president of the mill in which it was posted, has been put on the bulletin board in every mill in the Augusta district:
 Owing to the demand made on the John F. King Manufacturing company for an advance of 10 per cent, accom- panied by a notice that if not granted it's operatives would refuse to work after Saturday, April ,, and said de mand having been refused, notice is hereby given to the employees of this company that should such strike be inaugurated this mill will close indefi- nitely on the evening of Tuesday, April B.
 This order is result of the decision by the Manufacturers association to fight the union. It means that if the strike goes on in the King mill as scheduled every mill in Augusta. Graniteville, Aiken, Warrenville, Van- cluse and Langley will be closed, throwing 10000 operatives out of work. Union leaders insist that the strike will take place on Monday, al though many operatives are opposing

TROUBLES OF LABOR

PREPARED FOR 4 LONG STRUGGLE.
In Addition to This Fight Cotton sailI Workers East and Soutn Demand Better Pay and In
 Many Places Have Struck.

ALTOONA. Pa, April 3.-Not mine of the Rochester and Pittshurg Coal and Iron company is being worked. and National Officers Mckay and Rlce are in conference at Clearfield. They teleglsphed for National President Mitchell. but he answered that he was unable to visit this district aI present. Several of the small operators in Cam bria county who did not attend the Altoona convention and who de not feel bound by the action Of the large operators have failed to sign the scale.
 The miners propose 10 give them time limit. at the end of which. if the scale is not signed, the men will be called out. Three hundred men em- ployed in a mine at Hastings quit work because the operator. James l.. Mitchell. refused to sign the scale un- less the check off clause was eliminat- ed. MT. Mitchell took possession of the mine since the Altoona convention adjourned.
 The miners of the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg Coal company are well organized and, with considerable finan- cial aid back of them, have confidence in their ability to put up q long fight if necessary Notices were posted at the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg rail- road car shops in Dubois yesterday or dering the closing of the shops until the strike has been settled. This will throw 400 mechanics and labOrers out of employment indefinitely. Besides this a number of railroad crews have been laid off. With all the mines idle along the Buffalo, Rochester and Pitts burg road there will be no coal traffic, and the effect of the miners strike will be felt all along the line from Buffalo and Rochester to Butler.

GREAT ORGAN FOR YALE.

When built, the new Newberry me, morial organ will be over ninety feet wide and fifty-seyen feet above the stage of Woolsey hall, Yale university. In order to accommodate the great swell organ and other parts the ar- chltectS were compelled to abandon their original plans for the stage of the auditorium and extend the walls eight feet further south.
 The great organ will be located in the left tower looking from the audi tor1um and will have an unusual num- Der of eight-foot foundation stops, which will give q remarkable soldity of tone. This will also be true of the swell, choir, solo, and pedal organs as well. The great organ will have four manuals, pedal, seventy-eight speak, ing stops and twenty mechanical stops. The action will be electro-pneumati The swell organ will be fully as DOW erful as the great organ, but Of an un- usual variety of tone coloration. It will be in the other tower, with ;rs volume controlled by the use Of swell shades. Instead Of the usual wood an swell box, the Yale organ will adopt the stone and brick box peculiar 10 the great Worcester cathedral organ in England. with shutters opening out on the stage. Both the great and swell organs will be high up in the 1 towers. and it is expected that the ef- feet of distance will be unique 'rhe l most effective swell organ in the world is that of the Worcester cathedral Eat the Yale organ. costing as much and built on the same lines, promises to be as good.
 The choir organ will be enclosed in swell box to make the volume con- l trollable, and it will be voiced on a l lighter average wind pressure. and will contain several exquisitely voiced solo stops. the most remarkable of which will be the viol d'orchestre. the vol celeste and the yioloncello. all of which have what organ builders call q slim scale thus giving the string I quality heard in orchestras Tn the solo organ there will be three rign pressure stops, blown at pressures hitherto unattempted in tlis country twenty-two inches. The sorority ard richness of the tones produced will % beyond anything in organ music in this country. Seven different wind pres sures are to be, used in the organ The pedal organ is large and has one stop the gravssima. which is the first of it's kind in the country. registering a siXty-fonr foot pitch. and sounding two full octayes below the deepest note of the chapel organ. It's only fellow i'll the world is | similar stop on the Worcester cathedral organ. The tone produced cannot be distinguished even by the most delicate ear. but it furnishes an excellent background for the lighter airs of the great organ.
