They were quite late in returning

car going south on Broadway was
crowded with the tired dancers. At the
next corner the car stopped and a
blond young man got on, who, as he
entered the car, at once attracted the
gaze even of the sleepy dancers. He
advanced to the center and held on to
a strap with one hand. In the other he
carried an enormous hat, Enthusiastically
feminine, as attested by yards of blue
chiffon and waving ostrich plumes.
He was serenely unconscious Of his
burden until, the conductor asking for
his fare, he reached for his pocket with
his hand that he thought was olsen
gagged. He then discovered the hat.
His look of bewilderment brought forth
audible smiles from his fellow passen-
gers. Then he remembered. Holding up
the creation in blue, and gazing fondly
but LOUDLY into its mysterious depths
Of millinery. he muttered:
Lovely girl! How forgetful of me"
And making sign to the conductor,
says the New York Mail and Express,
stepped hurriedly from the car.

TO RETIRE MILES
PRESIDENT SAID TO HAVE so
DECIDED
Retirement May Not Take Place Until After
The Adjournment Of Congress, or the
Order May Be Issued Within the Next
Few Davs-Miles Has Been Talking Too
Much-AIso Has Political Aspirations.

Washington, April At was learned
this morning from source of unques-
toned authority that President Roose-
welt has definitely decided to retire Gen.
Nelson A. Miles. The date of the re-
tirement is the only question not deter
mined. The president is inclined to
postpone action action until after the
adjournment of congress, although he
may decide to issue the order within the
next few DAYS. 1t is said the president
bases his action not go much on the par
ticular criticism of the administration as
on cumulative evidence showing that
General Miles has been secretly active
in the attempt to enter the political field.
Another reason given is that, since the
evidence offered by Miles against the
proposed army bill and its subsequent
public notice, the general has been very
free in publicly commenting in decid.
eddy personal way on public men who
are interested in the measure.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Prof. CoIesrove, Recently Of U. Of W.. Cuts
His Throat on Train East

St. Paul, Mimi, April 3.-Prof. F. w.
Colegrove, recently occupying the chair
of philosophy in the University Of WASH
ington, at Seattle, reached here this
morning on the delayed Great Northern
train, with his throat cut from ear to ear,
the result of an effort on his part to end
his life while on the train at Williston,
N. d. He was removed to the city hos
pital, where it is thought he will likely
recover.
Prof. Colegrove appears to be suffering
from decided arrangement. He is ra-
tional at times, and says he was under
treatment in a sanitarium several years
ago for mental trouble. Prof. Colegrove
was en- route to his home at Hamilton,
N. Y. He is 46 years old and has wife
and two children at Hamilton. He acted
very strangely while the train was de-
layed by western floods at Williston.
Monday evening he drew knife while
in the presence OF half dozen other pas
sengers and slashed his throat. A sec
ond attempt was frustrated. His wound
was dressed as we'll as possible and he
was brought here. He was violent dur
ing the rest of the trip and it required
three policemen to restrain him while he
was being taken to the hospital.

LOCKOUT At SEATTLE.
All Men Affiliated With Trades Council Fired
BY EMPLOYERS Association.

Seattle, April 2.-In accordance with
the determination of the Employers
Association, expressed in resolution
adopted week ago, and reaffirmed by
the board of directors of that organiza-
ton at a meeting held last night at the
Starr-Boyd block, a general lockout of
all men connected with the Building
Trades Council started today. Every
union connected with the council either
directly or indirectly has defed the asso-
citation, and as a natural consequence
there will be tie-up OF all building OPP
erations in the city.
The business agents of the Building
Trades Council and the Carpenters
Union called off all the men working on
% houses in the block bounded by Four
teenth and Fifteenth avenues, Marion
and Columbia streets yesterday, because
non union painters were employed.
The buildings were being erected by
Smith & Kerry.
An attempt was made at meeting of
the painters last night to secure the
adoption of a resolution advocating with
drawal from the council. 1t was de-
feated by a practically unanimous vote.

that these new toys may act as moral
teachers to the young. Edison's friend
had little daughter, years old. who,
in spite Of seedlings and punishments,
could not be cured of the habit of tell
ing stories.
The father brought home specially
charged doll as present-for the little
girl. The child played with the doll for
day without noticing anything differ
ent in it from other dolls; on the morn
ing of the second day, however, the doll
made its voice heard. The little girl
gave her mother an untruthful answer
to a question which was put to her,
whereupon the doll. which was in her
arms at that moment, said solemnly:
Little girls must never tell lies; never.
never tell lies" The little one stared
Mt the doll and laid it down on the car
pet. Since that time she cannot be per-
suaded to touch her plaything; but the
timely warning has cured her more eff
fectively Of her bad habit than any
whipping or scolding could do.

SEAlSKiNS SEIZED.
Fifty Thousand Dollars Worth Taken by Gus
toms Officials at Seattle.

Seattle, April 1.-The little schooner
]. 3. Ward, which arrived from Dutch
Harbor few days ago, was Yesterday
searched by local custom house authori-
ties, and fully $4,000 of fur sealskins
were seized by the officers. Altogether
there were 266 skins seized by the au
thorities, and but for the manifest OF the
captain the schooner would also have
been seized.
The valuable skins were consigned to
two local firms. The furs were done up
in packages and marked ..'fox furs," and
several fox furs on the outside of the
packages were intended to bear out the
idea. The customs house men were from
Missouri and had to be shown the con-
tents of each package, and the seizure
resulted.
Captain Hansen of the Ward is not
thought to be implicated in the attempt
ed smuggle, for the reason that the
schooner first landed at Smiths cove and
ample opportunity was afforded to land
the furs. Yesterday the Ward was
moved to Arlington dock and there the
seizure was made.

NEW ORDER OF THINGS.
Two Edicts Issued in China Which Appear to
Indicate Some Progress.

Washington, April 1.-THE state de-
partment has made public copies OF two
Chinese edicts which were sent by United
States Minister Conger at Peking under
date of February s. These edicts, says
Mr.. Conger, indicate the .oosening of
the bands of customs and trend toward
new order OF things. The first edict
removes the prohibition of intermarrage
between Manchus and Chinese, and is of
political significance, says Mr.. Conger,
indicating a desire TO emphasize less
strongly the distinction between rulers
and ruled. 1t also bids Chinese officials
and gentry to persuade Chinese women
to do away with the old custom of foot
binding and let their extremitjes grow
as nature intended. The practice, says
The edict, is IAN injury to the god OF
creation" The other edict is in line
with the policy declared in number of
recent edicts and contemplates the send
ing abroad of competent Cinnamon to
study western methods in order to ex-
tend the international relations of the
empire.
