W. c. 7. U. Notes.

The parlor meeting held last Thurs
day evening at the home of the superin-
tendent, Mrs. Richard Howard, was
quite an enjoyable affair. A large num-
Der of the members and several
friends of the Union were present.
The hall and parlOr were beautifully
decorated with flowers and potted plants
and the genial hostess and her daughter
were untiring in their efforts to make
the occasion pleasant and interesting.
A well rendered program consisting of
duets. readings, recitations and song,
was given as follows: An instrumental
duet by Mrs. Howard and Miss Howard
was followed by prayer offered by Rev.
Aloysius Green, pastor of Whatcoat M
+. Church. Then Miss Nellie Steven.
son read Farmer Deans Conversion, y
and Miss Vincent sang sweetly. this
was followed by recitation by Miss
Jessie Townsend, after which an in.
strumental duet by Mrs Charles Cord.
dry and Miss Minnie Vincent was ar.
tistically rendered aud Mrs. Green i'm q
most pathetic manner read the sto' Y
entitled Poor House Man," then fol.
lowed instrumental music by Mrs.
James McAllen, closing the program
with the chorus "How Firm Founda-
tion." Refreshments were served and
the evening closed happily.

Summer Hats.

Many lace hats with only trimmings
of flowers are seen. One good point
about these models is that il is possible
for she home milliner to achieve for
herself hat out of last years materials
For instance, she can take the chiffon
hat of last summer, which is somewhat
the worse for wear. and if the shape is
possible, or may be- twisted into one of
this seasons shapes, she may cover if
with graceful drapery of lace and
with spray of roses make very smart
looking hat. As always, the So. called
tailored" hats are among the important
features in spring and summer milli-
merry, even though the large majority of
milliners scorn them, and give their
whole attention to the elaborate combi-
nations of tulle. chiffon, and blossoms
with which their windows and show.
cases are filled. Almost any one, how
ever, may concoct presentable hat on
these elaborate lines, aud with some
slight skill stylish effect is produc I'd i.
But alas for the tailored hat which has
not the touch of really clever and skilled.
fingers! In its very simplicity is it's
danger, for it must be perfect No
touch of "fussiness" is possible, or she
smart effect is lost forever.

Coal Miners Strike.

Our people will likely have to pay
more for coal the coming winter as re-
suit of strike now OH in the anthracite
regions. A dispatch from Scranton,
Penna.. says: Mine workers through.
out the entire anthracite coal regions of
Pennsylvania to the number of l45, 600
formally began their struggle Monday
for better wages and shorter hours
Never in the history of hard coal min
ing has tie.up been so complete, not
one of the 357 collieries i'm the territory
being in operation. There is every in
dication Cor believing that the suspen
sion will be made permanent by the
miners general convention which meets
at Hazelton.
Absolute quiet prevailed everywhere.
In pursuance of the request of the dis.
trict executive boards. which met joint.
ly at Scranton last week, all the local
unions throughout the regions met dur
ing the day and evening and elected
delegates to the Hazleton convention.
1t is significant that in every instance
where the vote of local became public
property the ballot showd decided ma
jority for permanent strike unless the
operators granted concessions. Predic.
tions are make that the struggle will be
longer and more bitter one than was
that of 1900, which lasted six weeks
The coal companies in various parts of
the regions have already made prepare.
tions for siege. Coal train crews, tel.
egraph operators switchmen, carpenters,
machinists and other employees number.
ing several Thousand, not identified
with the Mine Workers Union, have
been laid off until further notice. Some
of the companies have also brought their
mules to the surface and placed them in
pasture.
President Mitchell spent busy day
at his headquarters. He was in close
communication with all the district
leaders. and expressed himself as well
satisfied with the way the men respond
ed TO the call for a suspension of work
The general idea that the coal compa-
MES have been storing coal during the
past month, and that large supply is
now above the surface is erroneous. On
the contrary, the action of some of the
companies in giving orders for "a more
economical distribution in the way of
sales shows that they fear shortage at
no distant day. The Philadelphia and
Reading Company. the largest produc-
ers in the region have refused to accept
orders from their line and city custom.
ers, and only promise to fill tide water
orders if the coal is available.
