SHE WAS A REAL ANCIENT.
Ellen stewart, Who was Born Il Slave. ia i77o, Dead At Home
 for Aged CoIored People.

Chicago, Oct. 12.-A woman who, according to her own report, was liy- ing at the time of the Boston tea party and the meeting of the first continental congress, is dead at the home for aged and inirm colored people. If the reports of her age should be correct, she was the oldest person in Illinois, and possibly in the United States. The woman was Ellen Stewart, a slave before the civil war, three times married, and mother of four children, the last of whom died several years ago of old age. According to her story, she was born in ITO, and consequently was 132 years old. The officials of the insti tuition in which she died, after an in- vestigation as thorough as could be made credited her statement.
 Until within few months of her death, the woman was in complete control of her senses, and told many stories of men and women distin- guished in the earlier days of Vir- ginia and Kentucky. She was born in Virginia.

HAS REACHED ACUTE STAGE.
The State Guard Ready to Respond
 to CaII to Action.

New Orleans, Oct. 12.-The failure of all efforts to bring about settle ment of the differences between the striking street car men and the New Orleans Railway Co.,, has, it is feared, brought the strike situation here to an acute stage and preparations are being made at the various armories in the city to carry into effect with a strong hand the proclamation issued by Gov. Heard. demanding restoYa- ton of order and the suppression of violence. All the members of the To- cal militia are ready to respond to the call to arms at moments notice, and troops from the country parishes have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to move to this city on short notice.
 A citizens commitiee has been or ganized and efforts are being made to recruit independent companies to support the state troops.
 No efforts were made to run cars Saturday, and it is the general inn pression that the first attempt under the new conditions will be postponed until Monday in order to prevent in terference by the mobs that would certainly gather on Sunday.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK BRIEFLY STATED.
Governor anu Attorney General Differ on Question of Capital Puolshment for Criminal Assault Upon Pea of Guilty. -Jefferson County Grand Jury After yiolators of Sabbath Law.
Malone May Not Hang.

The supreme court will be called upon to decide the question whether man can be hanged on plea of guilty of criminal assault The case is that of Walter Malone, under sen tenee to hang at Van Buren November '. Malone would have been mobbed but for the promise of officials that he would be given a speedy trial. The governor contends capital punishment cannot be assessed on a plea of guilty, and says he will submit the question to the supreme court and will not interfere with the sentence unless that body refuses to act. MT. Rogers says Malone will be mobbed if he is not le- gally hanged The opinion of Attor- ney General Murphy is directly con trary to that of the governor. Col Murphy says that the statutes provide that in case of a confession to mur- der in the first degree the accused shall be tried by a jury before sen tence of death can be passed upon him. Tn a case of rape, however, there is but one degree, and it's pun ishment is death, without any quali- fication as to the manner in which he shall be tried or the effect a con fession shall have upon the pronounce ment of sentence Malone is now con fined in the penitentiary at Little Rock

OUR GENERALS IN ENGLAND.
Generals Corbiu, Young and Wood Are Being Overwhelmed with
 British Hospitality.

London, Oct 12.-The American generals now visiting England are un- dergoing somewhat similar experi- ences of English hospitality to that of the colonial premiers during coro- nation time. From now until October IS, when they will sail for home, Gen erals Corbin and 4oung will not have a meal they can call their own. Be ginning with the king, whose action in inviting them to luncheon at Buck ingham palace next Monday, the first weekday he will be in London, has caused much favorable comment. they have received invitations from numerous societies and individuals. Lieut.. Mckinley, who, as aide-de- camp, has most of the arranging of dates to supervise, said to press representative, that he believed MT.
 ortelyou, the presidents private sec- retsry, had not more difficult task.
 Both Gen. 0orbin and Gen. Young expressed their keen appreciation of tsle many attentions shown them. Earl Roberts has been untiring in af- fording them attentions and the American generals are looking for ward to their visit with him to Wool wich and to Gen. French, at Alder shot, next week. with great pleasure.
 Gen. Wood will arrive here Sunday, in time to meet the king. Ambassador Ghoate will be expected to accompany the Americans to Buckingham palace. Mrs. GQrbin has been confined to the hnnse Rith a cold

NR. MITCHELL WON'T TALk.
Thinks the Best Interest of All Concerned Will be Con-

SAYS MINERS UNION IS NOT ILLEGAL.
The Strike Leaders are Now Look ing to the American Federation of Labor for Moral and Material Aid in Conducting the Struggle for Organized Labor.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 12.-Presi- dent Mitchell arrived at strike head quarters from New York shorty be fore ten o'clock Saturday morning He was immediately taken in bond by interyiewers, but he steadfastly de clined to talk of his New York trip for publication. In answer to question why he should maintain such extreme reticence regarding his visit, be said:
 'I think the best interests of the operators, the miners and the public will be subserved by my remaining silent
 Mir. Mitchells attention was called to the letter of NicePresident Will COX of the Delaware X Hudson Co.,, to President Roosevelt in which he maintains that the miners union is an ilelgal organization. The strike leader hesitated to say anything for a momennt, and then replied:
 Miners Union Not Illegal.
 "The miners. union is organized along the same lines as all the labor unions in the country. If the miners organization is illegal, so are all the others, and l say our union is not illegal
 This is the extent of Mir. Mitchell's talk to the press representatives. All efforts to draw him out on any oth- CT question was failure. Mir. Mitch ell had an engagement in Boston, Sunday, but he was compelled to cancel it, owing to pressure of busi- ness here There was a rumor that President Mitchell would go to Wash ington, but he denied it.
 Looking to Federation of Labor.
 The leaders of the strikers are now looking to the American Federation of Labor to help them in their fight The federation has q membership of nearly 2,0oo000, and it's purpose is to assist organized labor generally. The miners union is the strongers trade in that organization, and they now feel that the federation should come out and take an open, active interest in the struggle. There is a report here that this will be done in the form of an appeal for assistance to all the labor organizations in the coun- trV

A SUBSTITUTE FOR COAL.
Philadelphia Using Bricks Soaked In Coal Oil as Substitute
 for Anthracite.

Philadelphia. Oct. 12.-Bricks bid fair to rival coal as a fuel in this city. Thousands are burning bricks soaked in coal oil.
 One large porus brick. soaked all night in coal oil, will burn for more than two hours, and will furnish suf- ficient heat to cook a meal. Three or four bricks placed in a heater will warm a house for nearly three hours. The bricks can be used as of en as desired.
 Persons who have made the expert ment are delighted, and many of them say they will continue to burn oil in this way in their cooking ranges, even after the coal strike is ended
 Each brick has attached to it piece of wire with a loop, so that it may be easily handled.
 A very porous soft brick will hold almost quart of ail.
