Foxy Grandpa Hanna.


Mark Hanna is putting in his spare
time these days jolly,ng organized
labor. Your Uncle Mark thinks he is
pretty foxy. but unicn men know his
record too well to be caught by such
chaff. Senator Hanna wants to be
president. He cares nothing for a
working man; his sympathies are all
with the capitalists. but for political
effect he is posing as a friend Of labor.
II he really wanted to benefit the wage
earners of the country he would work
for a reduction of the tariff that en-
ables the trusts to greatly increase
the cost of living. while wages remain
as they were.

1t is said that King Edward has g

So had Napoleon Bonaparte. The mar
tyred Lincoln nourished certain pet

common to most leaders of men. Small
wonder then that the king is delighted
that the coronation is over and with

look for a moment when the totter-
ing Archbishop of Canterbury was
fumbling with the precious bauble,
that something unluclty might happen
to set the gossips shaking their heads
with black forebodings. But luckily
the danger was passed and King Ed

Two Mental @ ants,

The wonder is that Ohio managed to
get along SO many years without the
guidance of those bright minds that
illumiue the dark recesses of the Office
OF the attorney general. What Sheets
and Smith Bennett don't know isn't
known and much of what they do know
isn't known. They are now engaged
in declaring all proposed codes uncon-
stitntional save that that Nash and the
political bosses are framing. They
have jumped on the code suggested by
the state board OF commerce with all
four feet and left it in pulpy mass.
The poor old constitution Is brought
into service again. 1t is a most con-
yenient constitution. 1t has way Of
forb!dfing what the people want, but
permitting everything the politicians
want-when the politicians construe
it.
But the state will endure and the
people will get their rights and will
have them long after Sheets and Ben
nett are Orgotten-which won't be so
very long at that-Toledo Bee.

in Washington has said, 1T is hard to
think OF Blank as liar, because he
hasn't the face of one. The home-

Sixteenth District Politics.

The Democrats have at last found
q man who is willing to run for con-
gress in the Sixteenth Ohio district.
He Is Democratic editor up in Car
roll county and attests his fealty to
the party by indicating his willingness
to take the nomination this year. His
name is J. v. Lawler, and he is said
to be very nice gentleman. good
neighbor and rather companionable.
II is claimed for Mr.. Lawler that he
will quietly be supported by even
managers In his home county and pos
sibly few in some OF the other
counties. At any rate II Is as good
as settled that Mr.. Lawler will be
.pitted against Mr.. Gill this year.

1t is said by one Of the men who
has seen the draft of the municipal
code that 1t does not provide for the
merit system save by suggestion, In
Ohio municipalities the merit system
has developed into a good deal of a
farce. 1t consists, In Democratic towns
Of keeping Democrats In office and In
Republican towns of keeping Repub-
licans in Office. So 1t will make lit
tie difference whether 1t prevails or
not. Theoretically 1t is probably a
good thing. but its operation In most
Ohio towns has been an abomina-
ton.

is mined there at any season OF
the year. The coal consumers of
Henderson are compelled to look
to mines outside the county for
for fuel and the organization of
this mine, while claimed as a vic
tory for Barnaby, makes no
change in the situation.
That a good reputation and
name will cling to man, no
matter where he may go, was
plainly illustrated last week,
when the president of the st.
Bernard Mining Company, Mr..
j. B. Atkinson, made a trip to
Providence, where his appear
anee aroused the love and esteem
the miners have for him and he
was - Immediately besieged by
those who considered it pleas
ure to work his management, all
wanting to be employed by him
if he should take notion to op-
crate mines in that region.
Long ago the U. M. w. said it
would stop the st. Bernard Min
ing Company from paying their
employees a dividend by closing
down the mines, and yet the div
idend is paid and the mines con-
tinue to run and prosperity is
seen on all hands. Last Satur-
day was another dividend day,
and it was certainly a pleasure
to see the beaming faces of the
miners as they came forth from
the pay office with that reward
lof merit their employers had
through generosity given them.
Such tokens of good will are one
of the strong ties that bind the
employer aud employe 90 closely
together.

plies aimself SO closely to work

Secretary George C. Atkinson

On a business and pleasure trip

the st. Bernard Mining Com
pany will either be compelled to
keep George at .home or enlarge
their capacity for coal produc-
ton, as his absence generally
means more orders.
A &andfull of the Il. NJ. w.
tried to hold a meeting at a pri-
vate residence here last week,
but as the food and rent supply
has been aboutcout off entirely,
they have but little to talk about,
and there are but few here to
even talk. Their leaders have
long ago forsaken them and aone
are left to CONTEXT them evea by
false psomises.
The Sebree Ceaa Company feel
proud over the good record they
are now making ia the produc-
ton of coal, having last Friday
loaded ten ears ia half a day,
which means tweaty cars per
day, a record to be proud of.
Most of t&e miners there were
green men when the L. NJ. ".
attempted to close the mines
down by a strike, and now they
are both willing and more capa-
bic of producing coal than the
gang they succeeded.
The operators of the anthra-
cite coal fields are daily improv-
ing their output by the addition
of new men, and now they boast
of the claims that all the men
needed to work their mines at
full force can be secured. If this
is true, what a sad condition is

~ DOWN IN THE MINES. r.

AT the beginning OF the Henn-
sylvania mines strike, Mitchell
boasted openly of the financial
strength of the U. M. w. and
that they had been making prep
aration for some time. Now, to
show how badly he was deceived
or else tried to deceive others,
the Illinois fund, which was
boarded up by the U. M. w.
solely for the benefit, most
ly, of the officials and agita-
tors, has been reduced to the
amount of $50, 900, said amount,
they say, having been paid into
the treasury of that order at In
dianapolis last week for the ben
eft of the national fund, which
has evidently been drained by
those now in want in the East,
occasioned by Mitchell's fool Or
der's to quit'work. Fewsbelieve
that such an amount was paid in
cash by the U. M, w. of Illinois.
But, instead, a levy of that
amount was made on the miners
of that state to keep up the
strike in the East, where a sur
plus of several million dollars
has already been squandercd on
a lost cause, while Mitchell con-
tinues to encourage the strikers
by false statements in part, if
railroad officials can be believed,
as they claim that in a late state.

Wf course Barnaby, president

WOMEN AS TURF PATRONS.
Innovation which Even Tide society

Innovation which Even GiIded Society
VIII BE Slow to Approve.
Two young American matrons, according
to dispatches from a ~favorite resort of the
four hundred, have arranged to purchase
race horses and become patrons OF the turf.
This would be quite English" comments
the Baltimore Sun, but It is an innovation
which even gilded society should be slow to
approve. There was a celebrated duchess,
known as the Red Duchess" because Of her
loud gowns and equally loud language, who
maintained a stable Of -thoroughbreds and
won some Of the richest prizes Of the Eng
lish turf. Mrs. Langtry, the actress, has a
"string Of racers" and is as we'll known on
the turf as she is on the stage. But neither
Of these sporting ladies' is a proper model
for the young matrons Of the United States.
Let them drive ostriches in harness, il they
ysarn for novelty. and ~ that is not exciting
enough, let them try their skill in driving
three horses abreast. Much can be p%ardoned
In ennuied ladies' who resort to such d.
versions to escape the horrors of boredom.
But the fair sex ought to draw the line on
the racing stable and leave the manage
ment Of thoroughbred horses to the lords Of
creation. The sporting woman Is not an
attractive or admirable representative Of her
sex. Young matrons who have business re-
~lations with Jockeys, trainers and stable at
taches would doubtless obtain much valuable
information about horses, but what they
gained in that respect they would lose in
modesty and refinement. They might win
races ana acquire wide notoriety. but that
would not compensate them for their losses
In other ways. There are instances in which
American women, whose husbands had main
tanned stables of thoroughbreds, were con-
spicuous figures on the turf after their lords
had departed this life. AS a rule, however,
these enterprising women did not figure in
select society. One cannot help feeling
sympathy with the young matrons Of the
four hundred who find life such a terrible
BORE II they are restricted to the usual
recreations of ladies in refined society.
They ought to engage the services OF some
genius who could devise a new diversion
every day for jaded v~otaries of fashion. But
no genius, however daring. would propose
that the ennuied danes Of the four hundred
20 on the turf as owners Of race horses. On
the turf all men are equal. That principle
could not be applied to women without en-
barrassing results. Surely the young matrons
of the four hundred would not care to place
themselves in the category Of the women
who have won notoriety as the owners Of
race horses.

certainly not have been in September.
Roses are still blooming on millinery. and
huge blossoms as vast as lettuce heads
are appearing on evening frocks for first
autumn wear. They are suspiclously sug-
gestive Of bargain counters and economies,
but that is no bar to their effectiveness.
OF all the l%eftovers OF summer the arti-
fetal flowers are the most beautiful. and
one ~rejoices to see them put to such good
uses.
Look upon this froek, and 60 forth at
once before the best posies have been gath

French lace-the sort Of lace that looks
real and isn't-deep rose velvet, and pink
roses with foliage. The skirt is made in
graduated box pleats, with a lace iounce
at the bottom, headed by a garland Of the
velvet looped up by the roses. About the
hips a lace band, repeated by one in the
bodice, gives a corset look. The bodice
fastens at the left side, and is in fine
tucks with feather stitching between.
There are no sleeves.
AS. excuse for them, a knotted end OF
the velvet twist which finishes the low
neck falls over the arm. leaving the shoul-
ders exposed. A velvet girdle loops with

two roses at the left bust.
With the great, loose-petaled white roses
so much seen this summer, white tulle was
the bride-like texture of another evening
frock. Here the flowers we're used without
foliage, in massed borders that we're al
most ruch-like, and the fluffy skirt was in
many layers upon a Swiss foundation. Gu
rlously enough, the rose border which edged
the skirt was placed upon this. The tulle
skirts above were left raw-edged and hung
loose. The result was something as nearly
approaching the nymph-like as modern
styles will allow.
Further summer 9owers that will be
found bewlldering deckings for evening
frocks in airy textiles are lllacs, camelias
and v~iolets. The white cape j~essamines
with their thick green leaves are also raw
ishing trimmings, and very Frenchy effects
can be achieved by massing them with
loose loops Of narrow gauze ribbon.
The violets and other purple flowers look
best on gowns of the same color, though
they may be used with pale green.
Finally, don't forget the great punches
Of grapes II you want something ultra
RECHERCHE, for these ornament the tulle
gowns charmingly. Choose white tulle for
the big white grapes, putting them all over
the skirt in scattered punches. Then one
great bunch at the left bust Of the cor

sleeve bands.
The skirt should be in the raw-edged
layers described, very full, and only long
enough to touch. MARY DEAN.
