the Postmaster General, called at the
temporary White House by request OF
the President to contribute their views
and make suggestions. When the oay
closed the President hal talked almost
as much about the strike as he did FIJI
day. His dominant desire is to aid IN
every way in his power to stop the
strike. But as the conference Friday
failed tc develop the slightest nope Oh
opening the mines, SO did his series OF
consultations yesterday.
Conferences in regard to the coal
strike will continue, but their result will
be, from present belief. the same as
heretofore.
The unanimous opinion of the mem
bers of the Cabinet is that Governor
Stone can cause a settlement of tho
strike.
With all eyes now turned toward him,
the action OF Governor Stone will be
watched with uncommon interest. Ac-
cording to the latest report he has not
budged in the direction of solving the
question. 1t is matter of dispute
whether there are enough troops in
Pennsylvania to protect the willing
workers against the possible resistance
of 100000 or more union men whose
minds are hard set in their purpose to
uphold the regulations of their order.
But the balance of opinion here is that
there are enough troops in Pennsylvania
to enforce any law Of the State.
Extra Session in Favor.
Governor Stone, 1t is contended, could
call an extra session Of the Legislature
that could promptly make laS. the
enforcement of which would bring
about the reopening of the mines.
Whatever the action of Governor Stone
may be, the President will devote much
OF his time to framing forceful recon-
mendation to be sent to Congress In
December appealing for increased Fed
eral auth ority to control difficulties be-
tween labor and employers of labor. 1t
may be possible that he can embody
such q recommendation in the game par
agraph with that which will concern
the trust question.
Entertain Some Doubt.
II an extra session were called there
seems to be certain amount OF doubt
whether 1t could accomplish anything
to relieve the situation. For several
days there has been less serious talk OF
an extra session, and yesterday the idea
was secuted in view of the conclusion
that Governor Stone has the power to
settle the strike.
An interesting statement was made BY
Senator Scott OF West Virginia as he
came from a visit to the President
He said IL there was to be an extra
session to settle the strike he knew
nothing about it. He thought the strike
would wear itself out.

DIVERSE VIEWS AS
81 TO Mr.. BAER'S ACTION
Many Believe Railroad President Is
Trying to Blast Hopes of
the Miners.

The discussion on the unyielding stanc
taken by the operators has led to di'
verse views as to whether such actor
was taken for the "blufing" effect Il
would have on the strike, to offset the
stronger hopes aroused among the min
ers by the President taking hand in
the struggle, or whether it was the
natural position of financiers who felt
convinced of their ground.
Those who followed most carefully
the course OF President Baer, and have
convcrsed with him at all on the sub
feet. feel convinced that there is not
the slightest element of bluff" in the
position he has taken. On the con-
trary. they feel convinced that he in
taends to fight it out" on the operat-
ors line "if it takes all winter
A Veteran Fighter.
An interesting fact stated at the coal
presidents special train after the FRI
day conference at the White House, In
the cours. of some general remarks,
was that Mr.. Baer in the civil war was
the youngest captain in the Army OF
the Potomac. He learned fighting and
strategy on the field of battle. and he
has simply applied his experience TO
present conditions.
From this point of view, it is held
that President Baer's course is thor
oughiy marked out He will not back
down on the position he has taken, no
matter what comes, and all the other
magnates with him at the conference
here are determined to support him in
this stand.
One Alternative.
There is only one alternative in the
case. 1t is held. and that is the pos
sibility Of militant answer to the
question asked few days ago: What
will Morgan do?
II Morgan steps in. shows his power,
and orders the strike to be settled by
some concession-aIl Of which seems en-
tirely unlikely-then Baer and AL the
other presidents will resign at once.
There will be little doubt in the pub
lie mind, It is believed, when Commo-
dore Vanderbilt's historic expression of
affection for the dear people" is re-
called. as to which horn of the dilemma
the dictator of finance will take-help-
ing the American people on the one
hand and losing the five chief lieuten-
ants he has in the coal regions. or keep
Ing hands off and retaining the de-
tenders of his own interests.

New York Sun: For many years the
United States postal authorities and 9TH
ers have heard rumors that somebody was
willing 10 pay a fabulous amount for l,000,-
coo conceled postage stamps. The some
body has never been definitely named, but
1t has been vaguely stated that the pro-
charity and hat some wealthy individual
would pay the premium,
Perhaps an episode in Newark may shed
a little light upon the matter. Postal In

Marshal John Garside of Newark have ar
rested in that city Henry B~oisseaue, O
F~renchman, 20 years old, who Is an In
mate Of the home of the Little Sisters OF
the Poor. Boisseaue Is a veteran of three
wars. He sent washed stamps in exchange
for articles he desired to get. The old
man was arrested and his room in the
home was visited. At least $1,000 stamps
were found soaking I'm a washtaub.
The mother superior Of the institution
said Boisseaue had nothing to do with the
collection OF these stamps, but that he and
other aged inmates were employed to soak
them from the envelopes, dry them and
arrange them for shipment to China,
where they brought a good price and were
highly esteemed for wall decorations.
The sisters said the stamps had a high
value in the eyes Of the Chinese, and that
Christian workers exchanged them for
children, who were adopted and brought
up in the Christian faith by the missions
aries.

Tips Given by Salvation Army Leader,
Who IL a Vegetarian.


Kansas City Star: 1t Is said that
meat has % passed the lips Of General
William Booth for sixty-one years. At
the age Of IL years he became a veg
etarian and his children have followed
his example. At the Hotel Baltimore,
where the leader of the Salvation army
was a guest during his recent visit to
this city, many stories anent his gas
tronomic peculiarities are told. Every
dish ordered had to be served In ac-
cordance with rules prescribed by the
general n promulgated by his secre-
tary. Toast had to be Drowned to a
particular shade and stood on end
TO dry; milk had to be a certain tenn
perature, and vegetables served in
dishes OF peculiar patterns. Prince DAFT
ney, a waiter in the hotel cafe, was de-
tailed by the management to look af-
ter the inner wants OF the general and
he says the task was the hardest he has
yet undertaken.
THE general had to have everything
just So" said Prince today, land ne
kept me busy planning not to displease
him. His meals were served in his
room n his daughter, Consul Booth
Tucker, sat at his table. In a corner
Of the room the private secretay was
served. At every meal he would raise
his hands owe his head and say, Lord,
bless the waiter The first time he said
It 1 smiled and waited for a tip, for i
had worked hard to please him, but
after the blessing he apparently forgot
me. After that whenever he blessed
me I just looked the other way.
In the culinary department the gen.
rails orders were not appreciated. The
chefs are not used to cooking for vege-
tarians. Three times a day they were
called upon to serve three orders, all
exactly the same. For breakfast, the
triple order called for thin, dry toast.
stood on end" soft boiled eggs hot
rolls, French bread and fresh butter,
hot milk, cold cream. For dinner the
bill of fare was tomato soup, large
mushrooms on toast, cabbage, mashed
potatoes, boiled maccaroni, French
bread n fresh butter, cheese waters,
lemon ice cream and hot milk. For sup
per, boiled Spanish onions, with cream
sauce; steamed rice, French bread and
fresh butter, hot milk and chocolate
were served.
General Booth invariably uses his w
bed covering. When he entered his bed
chamber his first order was that the
bed be stripped Of its costly linen and
WOODEN coverings. The chambermaid
who obeyed the summons could not at
first understand what was expected of
her. The general explained. When she
had performed the task the saver Of
souls raised his hands and solemnly
said, Lord, bless the maid"

on his bosom and nodded CALAMITY TO

Ing her arms round the poet in an en-
thusiastic hug. The girls homage
seemed little TO ViIlon's taste, for he dis
engaged himself swiftly from the en-
brace, saying as he did SO: Gently,
Abbess, gently My shoulders tingle
and my sides ache too sorely for clasp
ings."
Villon's manne was so decisive n
his meaning SO obvious that the
curiosity of the gang burned
keenly and found voice in Rene de Mon
tigny, who asked him what allied him
with c~ommendable solicitude. Villon
shook his head, applied himself again to
the cannakin, and emerged from II with
a most melancholy expression of
~tenance. you behold In me, friends"
he sighed, " a victim of love-" and his
visage showed SO l~ugubrious that Ii
sorely tempted Louis to laugh, and hot
ly moved Huguett TO anger, for she
ragged up to Villon, challenging the
meaning of his speech. Villon gently
cooled her impatience. Hush, hush,
my girl! There are many kinds of love,
as you ought 10 know well enough. I
am a rogue and a vagabond, no less,
and so sometimes / love you and other
such Athanasian wenches; Isabeau
there m Jehanneton."
At this mention Of her novices' names
the Abbess turned on the two girls
fiercely. You minxes," she cried. DO
you make eyes at my mann" The pair
shrank back from her fury, but Master
Villon, who seemed suddenly to have
fallen into a meditative mood, rambled
on in a kind Of reverie. as Indifferent
to the Fircone and all his surroundings
as If he were a lonely shepherd tending
his sheep on n lonely hillside.
But / am also, heaven forgive me. a
jingler of rhymes, with the stars for
my candles and the roses for my toys,
and singers OF songs sometimes love
in another fashion. And so 1t has
CHANGED to me for my sins and to my
sorrow"
Villon's chin had dropped upon his
breast; the cocks feather dropped dis
maily; the singer seemed quite chap
fallen. Huguette, tired Of g]aring at
her offending mlnions, again turned her
scornful attention to her detected lover.
"Cry-baby!" she sneered scornfully,
pointing with derisive finger at Master
Francois, in whose eyes indeed the
close observer could discern the threat
ening Of tears. Jehanneton came sid
ling round to Villon, piqued by natural
curiosity, and the desire to vex
Huguette. Tell us your love tale,
Francois" she pleaded, and her plead
ing found an immediate supporter in
Louis. The Arabian nature Of his adj
venture enchanted him, and he had a
child's taste for a story. May l sup
port the lady's prayer" he said, unless
q strangers presence distresses you"
Villon turned to him with a hooking
laugh. Lord love you, no." he an
swered. Il have long since forgotten
reticence and will discourse OF my
empty purse, my empty belly, and my
empty heart to any man. Gather
around me, cullions and cut-purses,
and listen TO the strange adventure Of
Master Francois Villon, clerk Of Paris"

way into religious channels. As everyone

and a man without a church. The four
creeds had been discussed pro n con.

much of a creed to discuss, but I'll tell you
q story. Did you ever hear OF the four
men-a Presbyterian, a Baptist, @ Catho-
lie and a Methodist-who went out to dine
together? No? Well. they did and they
mutually agreed that they would dine on
fish. Time came for them to go to the
table and there they found a great smok-
ing fish. No sooner Was grace said than
the Catholic arose and, taking a third Of
the fish, including the head, removed It
to his plate, saying in a very self-satis-
fed manner: The pope Is the head OF the
church
"At once the Methodist leaned forward.
Not to be outdone by his Catholic brother
he, too, took a third Of the fsh, compre-
hending the tail, and as he removed it to
his plate said: The end crowns the
