WASHINGTON AS A MASON.
Portrait Made for British Lodge Be-
lieved Accurate in Detail.

London correspondence: a portrait
Of George Washington as a Mason,
which Henry S. Welcome has~present-
ed to the grand lodge of England, was
unveiled by Ambassador Choate the
other day.
If this unique portrait of the first
president is not historically accurate i'll
every detail it is the fault neither OF
the American Free Mason who ordered
nor the American artist who painted
it. When MI. Welcome decided to
nave the picture made he explained to
Robert Gordon Hardie, the artist to
whom he intrusted its execution, that
he wished him to spare no pains to
make the painting a faithful represen-
tation of General Washington as he
looked in Masonic dress.
The artist spared no pains in his
search for reliable data. He inter-
viewed descendants of Washington
wherever they could be found. 1t re-
suited in the discovery that the Ma
sonic regalia worn by Washington was
presented to him by Nine. Lafayette.
BY the titled Frenchwoman's instruc-
lions the reGalia was sent to the first
president by the firm of Watson & Cos
son of Nantes, France, and Washing
tons letter to this house acknowledge
ing the ornaments is in the possession of
the librarian of the Masonic hall in
London. 1t was written from New York
in 1882. Accordingly, in painting his
portrait of Washington Mr.. Hardie ar
rayed the great American in the Ma
sonic regalia worn in France in his
day.

consider some of the propositions that
have been sent to the president for set
thing the strike. These came from every
section of the country, and a large pro-
portion from men of standing and repu-
tation. At the same time 1t is said
that the suggestions often are absurd
and impracticable. Others, Offering a
possible solution, already have heceived
attention.
Two constantly recurring propositions
for federal interference, one tina United
States troops be sent into pennsylvania
for the protection of the men the OPP
orators employ. and the other that the
mines be seized by the general govern
ment, are rejected, no matter by whom
urged.
The first conference developed the fact
that no federal interference by force
was possible, and to that conclusion
the president has firmly held. Some of
the impracticable proposition made are
offers to lease coal mines in other Sec
lions of the country to the government.

Dle.

Her Fad Is Pottery.

New York Press: Many women admire
pottery and ceramics in a half-hearted
way, but few have made a life long study,
as has Mrs. Bellamy Storer, wife or the
American Diplomat. Mrs. Storer does more
than ~study-she produces. None than
twenty years ago she founded a series OF
kilns In Cincinnati and called the nttie
stucco building that inelosed the SHIPS
the lockwood pottery. She supervised
the Rookwood plant for years, and today
the little stucco structure has given way
to a rambling line of buildings that sur
mounts the crest of one of the hills or
Cincinnati. So vast is the reputation OF
lockwood that a vase IL worth its weight
In silver and the number % imitators are
legion. Mrs. Storer's latest efforts toward
advancing the art Of pottery is 10 estaD-
lish another kiln, and this time within the
shadow of the Rockies. The new Storer
pottery Is in the outskirts of Colorado
Springs, and Is presided over by Arthur
Van Briggle and Frank Riddle.

CHAPTER XVIII.
THE DINNER OF THE BARONESS
RIEDESEL.

At the stroke of 6 the next night 1
stood before the fine mansion which
the Baroness Riedesel occupied, with a
f~CrehCding. and, to tell good truth, a
bit Of q futtcring in my tnsides. we,
Acton and J. had late in the night
slipped back into the ruined house and
found the old woman lying in the back
room nearly dead with terror, and with
the mark Of a foul blow owe her eye
and down her check. We got her up
and brought her to, only to find Hazel
tine gone. IT was no place for us, and
so, on her advice, and deeming the
open method wisest, we betook our
selves to the star ana Garter a.
boarding house kept by Mrs. Hodges
at the Battery down below Clinton's
mansion and over against old Fort
George.
There we stsyed all day, working
out. partly from our window view,
partly from our information, the lay or
the land back of Arnold's house, just
above the Commander-in-chiets man
sion. Only once | went out to find a
man named Low, who had been men,
toned to me as q brave patriot Of the
Sons of Liberty. living under the
stigma Of Toryism to serve his country
by staying in the City-a doctor
chirurgeon. ] went down Wal street,
by the hosts of shops that had laces
and 81 ks ana SUlllS III IIlelF "lliOONS,
end rare fruits, and met ladies daintily
picking their wGy from carriages
through the muddy streets, full of pit
falls and holes and filthy cutters where
the drains ran.
Four times in hat hour l met carts
with canyaSes over them, but not so
completely as to prevent one from see
ing half a dozen dead bodies lying one
on the other beneath the covering, go
ing, so n s~hopkeeper told me, to the
trenches up above the city, where they
we're thrown to rot in the sun and rain.
Many Of them were my cOmp2triots,
who had lain in the Sugar House or
Bridcwcll ~prison-for many thousands
OF our poor fellows lay here still, since
the day, more than three year ago,
when | had marched north with Put
nam for my life. Low / found at last,
and a good man and true he was to
me. Somehow he knew Of my coming,
and we arranged a plan for an attack
at the foot Of Arnold's garden " days
hence.

SUSPICION OF A l.
Believed Fridays Conference Was
Snare to Entrap Roosevelt.

Washington, oct. There Is a strong
feeling I'm Washington that Wall street
is behind the coal strike trouble n
working a gigantic pool game. Wednes-
day, when the invitations for q confer
ence were extended to the parties TO
the strike, Morgan said he thought II a
great scheme. That observation was
regarded with suspicion at the time. As
has been stated. Wall street is after
R~Oosevclt's scalp. The president has
attempted TO settle the strike and thus
far has failed. At the present moment
he is holding the bag with some doubt
as TO what card to play next. 1t is
pointed out that if the coal strike be
settled by another agency. such as
Mark Hanna, Roosevelt would stand In
an awkward position. 1t is considered
by many politicians that such n move
is not at all unlikely. Il. j. s..

MAY HAVE TO SHUT DOWN
Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company
Of CHICAGO Unable to Secure Goa

Chicago, oct. 7.-Chicago may be
plunged into darkness as q result OF
the coal strike. The Peoples Gaslight
and Coke company is unable to secure
any fuel in the market, ana only has
a supply for twenty days more. ON
the ability OF the concern to secure
enough coal for it's plants depends the
lighting facilities OF 100000 Chicago
business houses and residences.
Ever since the coal strike was de-
Clared the company has had agents in
every part of the country where coal
could be bought. They have made pur-
chascs withouC regard to price, but
have not been able to secure only ten
cars Of coal a day, while the big boil
ers Of the concern were consuming
the fuel at the rate of thirty cars n
day. The reserve stock of coal always
Ecpt on hand has steadily decreased
until it is all but exhausted.
No More Coal Can Be Bought.
To add to the serious situation being
faced by the officials of the company
the agents are beginning to notify the
that there is no more coal in
prospect.
Never before in the history Of the
gas has it been called upon
TO face such a coal famine. All kinds
Of plans have been devised TO meet
the situation, but there is no relief in
sight.
Unless we can secure more coal or
coke our supply will be exhausted in
twenty days" said G. X. G.. Billings,
chairman Of the Company's executive
board. 1--WE are facing n crisis. n pri-
vate concern can shut down and no n
else except it's employees are affected,
but with us it is different. We have
$50 600 consumers, and must continue
to supply their demands. We are
burning coal three times as fast as we
unnecessary. In New York they are
burning wood, but the supply of that
is limited"
