she sat before him.
She took off a mended glove
and showed him a forafinge'

sewing.
"There's the only proof I have
that I've been trying to earn an
honest living" she said.

been sewing for a living, and !
am sick of it," said she.
He named the wages and took
her down into the kitchen, where
the young person who was gen.
eral assistant received her with a
bewildered stare
After that he did not see he1
for four weeks, sbut his meals
were delicious. At the endof the
|
time he went down stairs to pay
her wages. 1t was late in the
evening. A plump lady with
pink cheeks sat before the fire
stoning raisins. He did not know
her at first, but as the knowledge
dawned on him he realized how
nearly she had been to starvation
on the day he hired her. All he
said was:

After that he saw her once in
four weeks regularly. She never
said anything to him but THANK

with something, his eyes fixed on
vacancy the while. He was a
trim and big bachelor Of forty,
with handsome black side whis-
kers. She was thirty and a
warm tinted blond, notred haired,
though the kitchen girl thought
50. Her hair was Titian's pet
color. Outwardly she called her
master ''that bear" Secretly
she thought him very handsome.
One day the dinner came down
untasted.
"What fault has he found with
it now?"
"None,' said the girl. "He's
sick"
At breakfast no one came to
the table.

Filed by Second blptiA cAvrla A,ala,i
Gov. jeff Davis

Speciflc chargesof drunkenness,
gambling and disgraceful conduct
were filed against Gov. Jeff Da-
Wis last night by the discipline
committee of the Second Baptist
Church. AS was announced in
1.-The Democrat" last Monday,
the immediate cause of this ac-
ton on the part Of the church was
\ communication from Governor
Davis calling for a letter of with
drawal from the congregation,
giving as his reason for such re-
quest that he could not fellowship
with certain members of the
church. The communication fur
Their stated that if the church re-
fused to grant the letter, the gov
ernor asked for an investigation
of charges made against him.
He desired, however, that as little
publicity as possible be given the
matter. The matter was deferred
from the services Sunday night
to the prayer meeting last night.
Immediately after the conclu-
sion of the worship last night the
church went into executive SEES
sion for the purpose of consider
ing the governors case. Gen.
W. E. Atkinson suggested that
the session be private and that
only members of the church be
permitted to remain. This was
met with objection by Mr.. C. E.
Taylor, who said the eyes of the
state were on the Second Baptist
Church, that the church had
nothing to fear from its actions,
that the governors communica-
ton was read in open session and
he thought the charges should be
preferred in the same manner.
The question was put TO a vote of
the members, which resulted in a
decision for an open session, the
vote being "a tc 10.
The pastor, Rev. T. w. O'Kel-
ley repeated the substance of
Governor Davis communication
and stated that the matter was
before the church for action. 1t
was suggested that the charges
against the governor be read by
the clerk. This was agreed to
without objection.
The clerk then read the report
of the discipline committee,
which, from good and reliable
sources of information, makes
the following charges against
Governor Davis.
DruplyopDoec on - 4no;,, oo,,
ing from Camden during his term
as governor.
2, Drunkenness and disgrace
full conduct while at Hot Springs
on October 30, 1901, attending
the meeting of the Wisconsin
Press Association.
3. Drunkenness and immoral
conduct at TeXarkana.
4. Drunkenness and treating
negroes on a train while passing
through Benton county.
5. Drunkenness on a Choctaw
train on Monday following the
recent election.
8. Frequenting the gambling
houses in Little Rock and specific
charges of gambling and losing
large sum Of money at Hot
Springs.
7. General charge of violating
his obligation as a member of the
Second Baptist Church and the
principles of the denomination.
From the numerous talks that
were made it is quite apparent
that the church regrets having to
take these steps, and that if the
governor is guilty of all or any of
the charges and makes acknowl-
edgement of them to the church,
with a promise to indulge in them

MORO STRONGHOLDS TAKEN.
The American Troops Driving Out the In
surgents from Their Forts Casual
ties Among Our Soldiers.

Manila, Oct. 2.-The Maciu Moros
in Mindanao have offered but slight
resistance to the column under Col.
Pershing, Of the Fifteenth cavalry.
After a series of skirmishes on Mon
day and Tuesday of this week the
Moros retreated into six forts on the
shores Of the lake. When a courier
left Maciu Tuesday for Camp Wears
Capt. Pershing was preparing to as
sault the last Moro stronghold. The
American column reached the former
camp at Maciu Sunday night. On
Monday the Moros opened fire on
them with a brass cannon and rifles
from q series Of new forts which
had been erected since Capt. Per-
shing's first visit to the place. The
battery under Capt. McNair scaled
a ridge commanding the position Of
the Moros and shelled them out. The
engineers under Capt. Morrow had
constructed trail over the swamp
fanking the Moro position. The
men Of Capt. Pershing's column
crossed the swamp by the trail and
captured and destroyed three Of the
Moro forts. The Moros stood but
short while and ran as soon as the
artillery opened on them. Twenty
Moros were killed. There were no
casualties among the Americans.

THE SNYDER TRIAL.


St. Louis, Oct. 2.-Robert N.
Snyder, the promoter and banker,
was placed on trial yesterday on the
charge Of bribery, the specific charge
being that he bribed former Council
man Fred G. Uthoff for his vote on
the Central Traction bill. During
the course Of the trial Circuit Az
torney Folk disclosed that Uthoff
will testify that he was proffered
100000 for his vote instead Of $780,.
900, as had been supposed.
The unexpected increeping Of the
North and South Traction bills, their
prominence in the case and the time
required to settle questions which
arose incidental to them delayed the
presentation Of the states evidence
and 1t is probable that this evidence
may not be in before this evening.

commune.
1t was remarkable chapter in the
/ economic history Of the country that
was written yesterday. For the first
time the president Of the republic
had interviewed directly between the
great forces Of capital and labor in
an effort to avert what he himself
regarded as a great national ca
lamity. The result was to bring the
principals in the great controversy
face to face with the whole country
eagerly intent and watchful Of their
doings. Technically the issues be-
tween the two great forces stand
as they did before the president
summoned the representatives Of the
contending forces to the national
capital, and, forgetting his own acute
suffering, besought them for love Of
the great country wherein they
dwelt and out Of pity for the count
less throng Of suffering poor, to ad-
just their differences and work to-
gether in peace for the common veal.
What, If anything, will result from
the conference is for the indefinite
future. Yesterday the views of the
contenders in the great industrial
struggle were so extreme and wide
apart that there was no middle
ground possible and so the confer
ence came to an end without any
agreement for its continuation. The
conference had lasted six hours, in
GLIDING recess of three hours be-
tween the morning and afternoon
sessions, taken to enable the miners
and operators to prepare written re-
sponses to the presidents appeal.
The immediate parties to the strike
say they will continue as hereto
fore. What course the administra-
ton will take next no one is prepared
to say. One Of the operators as he
left the white house with closely set
jaw was asked regarding this and
replied: 'If anyone knows what
the president will do next, that Il
more than ! know"
Fourteen men, including the presi-
dent, were in the second story front
room at the temporary white house
turing the momentous conference.
President Mitchell and three Of his
district leaders represented the min
RS and five railroad men and one
mine operator the en-
,loyers. With the president were

LOCKED THEM OUT.


St. Joseph, Mo-, Oct. IA formal
lockout was declared against the
leather workers at Wyeth's harness
and saddlery factory yesterday.
When the men assembled for work
the foreman Of the factory formally
announced to them that their serv-
ices would not be needed for an in
definite time. A laborer in the har-
ness department is alleged to have
made some sighting remarks about
the foreman Of his department. The
result was that he was discharged.
The union took the matter in hand
and after considerable deliberation
is said to have appofntedsa commit
tee to make the formal demand that
their fellow-member and worker be
reinstated. The lockout resulted.
Two hundred men are idle. General
President Eugene ]. Balsinger, Of
Kansas City, arrived in St. Joseph
on an early train and is consulting
with the unions. A general strike
may follow.

New York, Oct. THE Woman's

an enormous gathering to the Mad

whole affair was under the direction
Of women, who not only opened the
carriage doors and sold and received
tickets, but who formed q squad Of
Amazonian police to which was en-
trusted the task Of preserving order
in the garden. The whole Of the
floor space was laid out in glittering
streets of booths. A conspicuous
attraction was the dolls house IN
which prominent actresses sold dolls
dressed by themselves in imitation
Of the part they had taken on the
stage.

TIE ARMY xASRuvBRs.
Yesterdays Exercises ut Fort Riley Cos.
tainsd b Larger Element Of the Spsc-
tsculnr Than Any Preceding Then.

Fort Riley, Kan, Oct. while
fully as practical as any Of the pre-
ceding maneuvers, yesterdays exer-
cises contained larger element Of
the spectacular than any that have
preceded them, and it is not likely
that any Of those still to come will
equal the work Of yesterday. Maj.
Leach, Of the engineers, commanding
the Blues, defended a position with
what all the military critics concede
was very great skill. Gen. Kobbe,
leading the Browns, made dispositions
for attack that were praised fully as
highly as Maj. Leach's defensive dis
position. Moreover Gen. Kobbe
pushed home his attack with q fierce
ness and energy that, had the combat
occurred in actual warfare, must
have caused heavy losses to both
sides. At the close of the fighting,
Gen. Kobbe had been badly crippled,
but he was coming on to make o final
rush for the trenches. His men were
dashing down q slope fully exposed
to the rife fire Of an intrenched line,
and after descending this and passing
through a ravine, his men had still
300 yards of open ground to cross
before reaching the entertainments.
The critics say that this was hardly
possible. Still Gen. Kobbe had two
full imaginary regiments in reserve,
and even though repulsed the first
time, his game was far from being
played to the finish.
To-days problem will be the for
nation Of an advance guard by the
entire command and the building Of
a pontoon bridge by the engineers.

THE COAL SITUATION
Conference 1t White House on the
Matter of No Avail.
OPERATORS AGAINST MINERS UNION


Washington, Oct. 4.-The great
coal conference between the presi-
dent and representatives Of the op-
orators and the miners came to an
end at the temporary white house
yesterday afternoon with failure
to reach an agreement. Apparently
the rock upon which the conference
split was recognition Of the miners
union. The president had urged the
contending parties to cease strife In
the interests of the public welfare;
the miners, through the president
of their union, had expressed will
ingness to submit differences to arbi-
tration Of q tribunal to be named
by the president and to enter an
agreement to abide by terms fixed
by the arbitration for a period of
from one to five years, and the en-
ployers, through the presidents Of
the railroad and coal companies and
. leading independent mine operator,
had squarely refused arbitration,
had denounced the miners labor Or
ganization as d lawless and anarch-
istic body with which they could
and would have no dealings, had
demanded federal troops to ensure
complete protection to workers and
their families in the mining region
and court proceedings against the
miners union, and had offered, If
the men returned to work, to submit
grievances at individual collisries to
the decision of the Judges Of the
court Of common pleas for The dis.
trict Of Pennsylvania in which the
rolliery was located. There the mat
