The Washington correspondent Of
The State says the Failure Of the
presidents efforts to end the coal
Stricke has caused keenest disappoint-
mcnt in the national capital. Throngs
OF people surrounded the temporary
White House throughout the confer

words Of the president would avail.
When President Mitchell Of the
mine workers came down the steps
shortly after ) o'clock and announced
that no agreement had been reached
the crowd melted away. 1t was as
many feared: but all hoped for better
results.
What will be the presidents next
moye?" This is the question upper
most in every ones mind tonight.
While the streets are set ringing with
the cries Of extra" announcing the
failure Of Mr. ROoSevel5'S first effort to
bring relief to the country, there
nothing official On the subject, but the
belief is strong that Mr.. Roosevelt is
in favor of calling congress in extra

end the strike. This he will, Of course,

lie TOlt; the Truth.

4 Missouri editor announced tlat
for just one issue he would tell the
truth. Here are a few items from
that edition: John BONN, the LATEST
merchant in twon, made trip to
Beliview yesterday. John Doyle, our
groceirman, is doing poor business.
His store is dirty, dusk and no2iously
odoriterous. How can be expect to
do much? Rev. Sixty preach Sunday
night on charity. The sermon was
punk. If the reverend gentleman
would live up little closer to what
he breaches he'd have bigger con-
gregations. Dave Sonkey died last
Saturday at his home in this place.
The doctor gave it out as heart failure.
The fact is he was drunk and whiskey
is what killed him. Married Miss
Sylvia Rhodes and James Cannahan,
last Saturday evenining, at the Baptist
parsonage. The bride is very Or
dinary town girl, who don't know any
more than a rabbit about cooking and
who never helped her mother three
days in her life. She is not beauty
by any means and cas- gait like a fat
duck. TIE groom is well known as an
up-to-date loafer. He has been living
off the old folks all his life and don't
amount to shucks. They will have a
hard life and We have no congratula-
tions to offer, for we don't believe any
good car. come from such a union.

in which he d;scorrsed upon the eff

pray for them, for their children and
for their dead for an annual subscrip-
t;on of one sou. In other words, he
would take charge Of all their ayers
for one sou year. The idea appealed
to his parishioners and all of them
subscribed. With the little sums thus
acquired he printed more leaflets and
distributed them throughout the

in the center of the town is large

with eight almorers, IS interpreters,
20 secretaries and crowd of clerks,
proceeds with his work of supplying

each day, each of them containing at

them having a much larger sum. A
part Of these letters ask for prayers
ard these are divided among various
peedy priests in the neighborhood,
who thus are able to add considerable.

A Swell Mail Carrier.

The SwelleSt rural free delivery
route in the country is to be establish
ed between Pleasant Hill and Burgin,
in Kentucky. Gen. Breckenride Cas-
tleman, who owns splendid stock
farm at the former place: has put in a
bid for the contract and will probably
secure it. 1t is his purpose. he says:
to carry the mail in a coach drawn by
four thoroughbred horses. The coach
will be attended by two outriders and
a footman. all Of whom. as well as the
driver, will be in uniform with cock
AIDES and brass buttons. The service
will cost Gen. Castleman many times
it's earnings, but he is in position to
snap his fingers at the expense.

WOnau'S Loss.

They were good friends, and in
their early days Of indifference to
feminity had signed and sealed con-
tract which directed that the first
one married was to pay 525 to the
other, says the Memphis News. CupidS
in freakiSh mood turned their attcn-

one OF them captured the prize. The
friendship that had stood the rivalry
without crack did not break when
the announcement of the wedding
came from nearby city.
Nothing daunted. the friend and
disappointed lover sent the following
telegram to his successful rival:

First Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne has issued cirdular letter to
the poStmasters Of all rural free deliv-
cry postoitices, inStructing them that
postmasters and rural free delivery
carriers are not permitted to condemn
the letter boxes used by patrons. The
order directs that they shall continue
to serve boxes already erected until a
regular inspection Of such boxes Can
be made by the route inspectors and
special agents, who will condemn the
boxes found unsafe or which other

The entire force Of rural free delivery
inspectors is now investigating petit

POWER OF SUPERSTITION.
ant Finds It Hard to
Combat.

Superstition is force to be reck-
oned with and not despised by those
who labor for the good of the poor
on the East side, as all college set
tlement workers will testify, says
the New York Tribune. A philan-
thropic woman tells the following
experience:
a poor italian housewife, living in
Mulberry street, had swelling Of
the knee. She told me of her trou-
BILE, and I gave her the address of
free dlspensary, where she went for
treatment. The treatment did not
cure her, and she drew out from the
savings bank large part of her lit
tie hoard of savings, and in spite of
all my protests paid it to gypsy
woman on the outskirts of Brooklyn
for charm. This charm consisted
of piece of parchment, on which
were written some queer characters.
The whole was tied up in little bag
and was suspended by string
around the patients neck. When
she showed it 10 me I laughed the
thing to scorn and tried to show her
how foolish she was to pay hard
earned money to a miserable quack.
I could not convince her of her folly,
however, and so gave up the effort,
trusting to time to prove me right.
The neighbors of the woman with
the swollen knee soon heard of her
gypsy charm, and one of them who
had an eruption on the skin which
had long defed the power of medi-
cine to remove it begged for a copy
of the charm. The first woman was
ready to do this favor to her fellow
sufferer, and as neither could read
nor write they used a ten-year-old
son of one Of them to make the
copy. This boy had been attending
q public school, and his parents were
exceedingly proud OF his ability to
read and write american" But
the lad could make nothing of the
gypsy writing on the parchment.
He was equal to the occasion, how
ever. and showed he had the making
of true American. for he would not
defeat. What he wrote
was: This is know good"
It was rot until some time after
ward that I heard of this, when the
woman with the skin trouble was
showing me the copied charm. When
saw the trick the boy had played
on both of them I thought my vim
dication had truly come. But when
I explained it all to her, she met me
with the knockdown argument:
well, miss. it cured Us BOTH"
What could I say to that?

WHAT ROOSEVELT SAID.

When Mr.. Morgan suggested to the
strenuous chief executive that the ac-
tion of the administration might pre-
cipitate financial disturbances with
grave consequences to the country, it
is said that our president came back
at him with the following, accompa
nying his remarks with the finger
shake which he so vigorously admins
tered to Gen. Miles on one occasion:
Il am neither bull nor q Dear i q
Morgan stock. am president Of the
United States, and am sworn to exc
cute the law. | would proceed against
you or any of your combinations as
quick as 7 would against striker, but
not because l am opposed to either
capital or labor except as either of
them be violators Of the laws of the
country"
Mr.. Morgan did not tarry in Wash
ington after this interview. It is even
claimed by friends of Mr.. Roosevelt
that the fnancier went back to New
York with the determination Of weak
ening the Roosevelt administration and
that one Of his recent efforts in this
direction is the stirring up Of the Gold
Democrats in New York city to take
an active part in the Democratic con-
vention at Saratoga, all of which Dem
ocrats in the city, Indignantly deny.
Mr.. Morgan is also accused of enjoy
ing the discontinue of the administra-
tion over the financial panic in New
York, one result Of which was to
necessitate a formal denial by Secre-
tary Shaw that there was friction
between himself and the president
which would cause the formers re-
Signation from the cabinet at an early
date.
In the light of these alleged facts
about Mr.. Morgan'S attitude to the
administration friends Of President
Roosevelt point out that there is
every reason why he should not select
the Wall street king for participation
in heart to heart talk" and that
he has never fora moment thought of
consulting Mr.. Morgan about the coal
strike or any other public question
that has arisen since the Inauguration
of the Northern securities suit.

MORGAN SLIGETCD.

Washington is interested in t;la cut
direct which the president has ;!in:in-
istered to J. Pierpont Morgan in not
asking him to todays conference at
the White House on the coal strike.
While MIR. Morgan is not president of
the railroads controlling the coal
fields. he nevertheless holds all the
railroad Presidents participating in
today's conference in the palm Of his
hand, financially speaking, so that
should it have been the wish Of the
president, only Mr.. Morgan and Pres
ident Mitchell of the United Mine
workers. need have constituted the
conference today. For this reason the
absence Of the great fnancier from
the White House assumes at once a
significant phase and the question is
being generally asked: What mace
Teddy mad with Mr.. Morgan?"
Friends Of the president explain the
action Of Mr.. Roosevelt in not con-
sulting Mr.. Morgan by pointing to
what they claim has been the indiffer-
ence of the latter toward the success
of the administrations policy, but it
is said to the stand Mr.. Roosevelt took
in the suit against the Northern Sc
curities company. When that suit was
inaugnrated MIR. Morgan came to
Washington and spent some time at
the White House clOSeted with the
president. While there was no stenog-
rapher present to take down just what
was said and who hit who, it was
known at the time that both the pre-
Sident and Mr.. Morgan discussed the
question with gloves off, and that al
together it was one of the warmest
conferences that ever occurred within
the White House walls.
