WOMAN sTABs HER LOVER.
QuarreIed In Front of a Postoffce and
 Tragedy Followed.

New York, November n.-A sensation al love tragedy has been enacted in this city in full view of hundreds of people, cables the London correspondent of the Herald.
 A young woman named Kittie Byron stabbed to death her lover, Arthur Reg inald Baker, a well known member of the Stock Exchange. Before the woman could move she was seized by several wit nesses of the deed and given into custody.
 The crime, which had every element of sensationalism took place outside the Lombard street postoffice. Although the city was generally making merry over the lord mayors procession. there was the usual press of business at this ever busy office.
 Shortly after 2 o'clock a young womn of attractive appearance went into the postoffice and sent an express letter to the Stock Exchange. She waited a few minutes, when she was joined by MT. Ba- ker, to whom the letter had been ad- dressed.
 For several minutes the couple engaged in conversation near the counter. Then their voices rose and the clerks noticed they were Quarreling.

THE PATHFINDER ESCAPED.
Many of His Followers Either Taken
 Prisoners or Killed.

New York. November 1.-The preten- der to the throne, with a large following attacked the Morocco army at daybreak on November 3, says a dispatch from Fez to the Times by way of London. The invaders penetrated the camp, but the sultan's troops rallied and drove off the rebels, whom they pursued, infict- ing much loss.
 The pretender, with some of his fol- lowers took refuge in a native castle, which the troops attacked, captured and burned on November f. Many rebels were killed or taken prisoners, but the pretender escaped.
 The pretender's former followers are now said to be searching for him. His prestige is said to have vanished, as he promised miraculous intervention and the complete annihjlation of the sultan s troops.
 The foregoing does not mean that the rebellion has been crushed, but that only a local rising near Tesa, three days journey east of Fez, has been put down.
 In that district a pretender claimed the throne as the elder brother of the sul- tan. He was formerly an ordinary sol dier.

WORK IS BEING RESUMED.
Premier combes Has Almost Succeed
 ed In Settling French Strike.

Paris, November 11.-At a council of ministers today Premier Combes communicated the contents of dis patches he had received from the strike regions, which show that the movement to resume work which be- gan yesterday was greatly accentu- ated today. At some places, such as Bruay, work has been entirely re- sumed and M. Combes gave his col leagues to understand that the move ment of the miners to take up their work would soon extend to the De- partment Du Nord and other districts.
 The information contained in the government communications is borne out in press dispatches. The latter show that twice the number of men are at work today as were employed yesterday. The hotbed of disorder, Lens, reports 1000 men have returned to work
 The efforts of the national commit tee of the miners to induce a general strike in other trades are meeting with no success. The strike leaders said this appeal was made too late; that it should have preceded the submis- sion of the strikers demands to arbi- tration.
 Public opinion is supporting the government, ana the position of the miners is declared to be untenable because they first agreed to accept arbitration and then rejected the de- cision of the arbitrators.
 The cases of violence reported from t.-e strike regions today are of petty nature and were summarily dealt with by the troops.

ASK CITY TO MOVE
 BOOTBLACK STANDS
THE POLICE COMMISSION CLAIMS THEY AND OTHER oBSTRUc- TIoNs ON STREETS ARE ILLE- GAL-eRAND JURY MAY ACT.

The blockading of alleys by shoe black ing stands, of sidewalks by "dago' stands and the streets by vehicles and other articles piled in them, was brought up at the meeting of the police commits sion last night and a resolution was adopted asking the city council to look into the matter and take some action to prevent the nuisance.
 Chairman Rudolph made the suggestion which he backed up by long row o1 facts and figures relating to the boot black stands. He had list showing the places occupied, the number of feet and also the amount paid each merchant to whose property the stand is adjacent. He said that he had asked the mayor anu City Engineer Kendrick if licenses had been issued to these men to obstruct the sidewalks, streets and alleys. It was practically the same question which arose last year in regard to the fruit stands
 Commissioner Stanford stated that the matter had been before the grand jury last year and that the mayor and other city officials had appeared before the grand jury and requested that 1t not take any action. The reason given was that the fruit stands were a source of revenue to the city and also added additional light on the corners. The commissioner further stated that there was new grand jury now and that it might look at the matter in a different light hc told of one man who keeps a cotton warehouse on one of the streets, and said that several livery stables kept rows of wagons and carriages in the streets at night and that in other ways the streets were obstructed.
 On motion of Commissioner Parker the matter was called to the attention of the city council It was shown that the bootblacks have to pay from s1 to $15 a month for these stands.
 There is a supreme court ruling which makes it illegal to block any public thor oughfare.

Comparison of Prices.

Berlin, November 1.-The Cologne Gazette today makes a comparison of prices of coke in Germany and in Pennsylvania from 1896 to 1900, show ing that the American prices were half those of the German, and argues that cheap coke and low railroad freights enabled American iron in nor nal times to compete sharply with the German in neutral markets. The paper adds that the present sales of German iron abroad below cost cannot long continue, and also asserts that the ex- isting American coke prices are above the normal rates. owing to the tenn porary conditions.

Covert says that the ravages worked among the vineyards of Italy by the phylloxera will result in an un- precedented demand for American vines with which to graft the old ones. Already 908 provinces in Italy have been invaded by this insect and 750.- 900 acres of wine land destroyed.

 The nominal cost of this remedy compared to doctors and prescrip- tions is another great item well worthy to be considered, especially as in my opinion the results with your remedy are far surer and more lasting. Being firmly convinced of it's superior medicinal value I heart fly recommend it.
