IN THE GOSSIP's CORNER.

In Peace and Power and Grace of Strength
Remember that there lie
Three hundred dead in silent graves
Beneath the Southern sky,
Where rolls the Gulf to meet the Sea,
In solemn lullaby.
In Peace forgive-but ne'er forget
That these three hundred slain
Qn truth they died in Country's cause,
And so shall rise AGAIN.,
But died that other men might live
Without the curse of Spain.
In Power forgive-forget 1t not
That those who by the sword
Enslave race, despoil a land,
Shall perish by the sword;
While he who fights the fight of Truth
Shall prosper, saith the Lord.
In Grace of Strength-lest we forget
Remember that the slain
A sacrifice to Freedom were
And none shall die in vain:
For ardor in a holy cause
But leads to Life again.
Mr.. Sothern, as he ever does, attracted to
English's some of the largest and most
representative gatherings of Indianapolis
lovers of the drama, Notwithstanding the
bitter frigidity of the weather. That those
who thus braved the elements were well
pleased and amply repaid for their hardi-
hood much in evidence in the com
ments to be heard as the throngs separated
after the performances; though there were
not lacking expressions to the effect that
it is possible to have too much of even SO

needless to say that Mr.. Sothern, as Villon
was not in the subjunctive mood.

AS pretty an act of courtliness as has
come under my notice in many day took
place after the play. From one Of the boxes
came an elegantly appareled group of men
and women, and in the crush of the lobby
some one stepped on the bottom of the
magnificent black gown of one of the ladies
and detached therefrom yard or more of
exquisite ruffle. No pins were at hand and
the wearer was in a quandary. The mother
wit of one Of the young men saved the stu
alton. Carefully laying the torn ruffie in
place, he grasped it and the edge Of the
skirt, and, walking close to the wearer
so that no attention would be called to the
situation, carefully lifted both, and so
In61n, walked Win ner TO ner car

much use of statements to the effect that
Mr.. Taylor, then attorney general, had
favored the passage Of the so-called "Jim

Miners Ask for a Uniform
Day Wage Scale.
AN OPERATORS VICTORY
Progress of the Meeting Which Is to
Settle the Question of Wages for
Workers Under Ground in Iowa for
Ensuing Year. sl..,l.

Des Moines, March 12.-(Special.)
After ~devoting the entire morning
to the question of shot firing and the
guarantee by the miners against loss
on account of men staying away from
work, the joint conference adjourned
just before DOR today and referred
the work of making the scale to the
scale committee. This committee met
at 2 o'clock this afternoon and imme.
diately began consideration of the
scale for the coming year.
In the joint conference this morning
President Reese, of the miners, an
nounced that this year the union pro-
posed to make its fight for a uniform
day wage scale throughout the state
and for shot frers in the shot dis.
tricts. This will increase the cost of
day labsr in the first and fourth sub
districts and will also increase the
cost of the production of coal in the
second and third sub-districts. In re.
ply to Mr.. Reese's statement H. Iva
terman contended that the miners
have no right to ask a raise in the day
wage scale until they agree to REIN
burse the operators for loss on ac-
count of men failing to work for a
trivial cause. This again brought uE
the question Of the resolution which
Mr.. Waterman offered in the scale
committee meeting two weeks
ago and the discussion was
warm between the miners and OPP
orators on this and on the shot firing
question during the whole morning
session. The best of feeling was pre-
served, however, and in his closing
speech President Reese expressed the
hope that with regard to the question
of the miners reimbursing the operat-
ors- on account of short force, there is
a happy medium between the two ex-
tremes and that this medium will be
found by the scale committee. With
reference to the shot firing, however,
the operators still refuse to accede to
the miners demand and to hire this
class of labor, claiming that shot ex-
aminers are better than shot firers for
the preservation OF both life ana prop

it is a preliminary examination. He

OPERATORS VICTORIOUS.
Unanimity Necessary in Miners and
Operators Convention.

Des Moines, March 12.-(Special.)
The operators were victorious yes
terday afternoon in one point which
has always been a subject for discus
sion in scale committees in this state.
When the joint convention organized.
one of the first pieces of work done
was the appointment of a committee
on rules and order of business. This
committee was composed of five min
ers and five operators. This body
went into a separate session at 2:30
O'Clock and argued the matter of rules
for an hour and a half. Finally when
the report was made by Chairman l..
r. Rosebrook, of Oskaloosa, it provid
ed that all important questions shall
be decided by the unanimous consent
of both sides of the house.
This question is an important one to-
miners and operators alike. The min
ers nearly always vote as one man on
all questions, but the operators, hay
ing a weaker organization than the
miners, are often divided, and with a
unit rule one man a delay the work
of the scale committee for hours. The
operators want a unite rule, however.
because they claim that there are con-
ditions in some parts of the state
which are not understood by operat.
ors in the other parts of the state, who
vote contrary to the interests of the
operators affected. With a unite rule
this is impossible.
The miners hope that this matter
may be changed in the scale commit
tee, and that a two-thirds vote of each
side of the house will be all that will
be required. However, since the op-
rators won in yesterdays committee
meeting there is little likelihood that
the miners will carry their point when
the scale committee meets.
Delegates Excluded.
A point which does not strike many
of the operators a%greeably, however
is that regarding the admission of al
ternates and non-members OF the scale
committee to the meetings of that
body. One of the rules adopted by
the joint conference yesterday pro-
vides that no person not a member of
the committee shall be admitted to
the meetings except by consent of the
.committe.
This is made for the purpose of
shutting out the alternates, and is fav-
oreq by the miners because they claim
that by having the scale committee as
small as possible business can be
transacted with more dispatch. The
operators, however. dislike this provi-
sion for the anne reason that they
want a unit rule; that is, because the
miners all over the state understand,
to a greater or less degree, the condi-
tons existing in the other parts of
the state, while the operators have
not that advantage. Therefore, the
latter class claims that a~lternates are
liable to be injured by some action Of
the scale committee with regard to

SMALLPOX AT DouDs.
The Situation as 1t ls-FaIse Rumors
Are Refuted,

Douds Station, March 12.-(Special.)
Notwithstanding the unusual amount
of talk and false rumors which have
been set atioat concerning smallpox in
this place and at Leando, the facts of
the case as furnished by the clerk of
the board of health If this township
are that one family is quarantined in
Leando and one family at this place be-
cause of exposure to the pest at Ladds-
dale and reported by the physician to
the board Of health at Eldon. Since
quarantined one member of the fam
lily at Leando has broken out with
smallpox, the physician to the board
of health here giving it as his opinion
that it is that disease. One member
of a family at Leando now under quar-
antine is expected to contract the dis
ease. There is no indication that the
family which is isolated here will have
it and no further spread is probable.
