Childs Brown celebrated his 9th
birthday anniversary March 10 and
April u Mrs. Elizabeth Dennison
reached the Goth milestone. The day
was tittingly observed by her friends
who called to offer congratulations
Among the guests of the day were her
daughters, grand daughters and one
great grand daughter, thus bringing
four generations together. She was
! generously remembered by absent chill
dren, grandchildren and friends from
whom she received beautiful flowers
and gifts of a more substantial nature
and a large number of letters. Wednes-

born and where he has lived all his
life, completed 80 years. Sickness in
the family, there being three down
with the measles, prevented any social
function. but a few friends called,
among them one of the fourth genera
ton, and others sent letters of CON
graduation and cheer and gifts of re-
membrance. A birthday cake sur
mounted with flowers and very hand
some bouquet of arbutus were among
the gifts, and also very ancient Egyp-
tian bronze coin, which the sender
said was to remind you that you are
by no means the most antiquated
thing on earth as this coin must date
many years back of the Christian era. -
One friend suggested that the reason he |
attained such an age was "That being |
born at the time of natures resurrec
tion, as he stepped upon the threshold .

M4YBE DNCLARED OFF,
Strike of the 10000 Men at Altoona
 Likely to be Ended.

ln9aanapolis, Ind, April As the result of conference held at the head quarters of the Unit ed Mine Workers of America to-day between President Mitchell, Bernard Rice of Deertield, Pa, president of district No. 2 Penn sylvania, and l.. w. Robinson of Roch- ester, N. r., president of the Buffalo Rochester and Pittsburg Coal company, it is believed that the strike of that company called at Altoona, April 1, and involving 10000 men, will be declared ofs.
 It is understood that both MT. Rice and MT. Robinson made concessions, which probably will be acceptable to the miners. The miners were notified of the result of the conference and the advisability of accepting the terms and calling off the strike will be left in their hands
