NO COAL FOR GAS CONSUMERS.
TRANSFERS WILL NOT HAUL FUEL TO BIG
BUILDINGS IN CHICAGO

Chicago. Jan. 2s-The coal teamsters to-day re-
newed their war on the big downtown buildings
The Coal Teamsters Union decided that its MEM
bers should not haul coal to buildings where gas
is used during the summer months. officials Of
the union ordered all drivers to stop, and the
order promptly obeyed.
President Albert Young, of the union. said:
Our being called off from hauling coal

men were worked almost to death. Buildings that
had formerly used gas for fuel found that coal
was necessary. and our men had to work night and

greatly.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Minister Bow
en- has confirmed the press reports to
the effect that the guns of the al
/ lied fleet which bombarded Puerto
| Cabello Saturday were directed en-
tirely at the Notifications, and not at
| the town.
Regrettable as it was, this state
ment relieves the affair of the first
suspicion that it constituted viola
ton of international law in the fact
that "a hours notice was not served
of the bombardment. The require
ments as to notice applies to unforti-
fed or fortified towns where the fire
must be directed upon the inhabit-
ants, and this was not the case at
Puerto Cabello, so that while the
officials here regret that the firing
took place, they have as yet no cause
to protest. But it is now probable
that the United States Will break its
attitude of inactivity in the event that
an attempt is made to enforce the
peaceful blockade" toward an Amer
lean ship.
When the allies were considering
the ways and means of bringing
Venezuela to terms and a blockade of
this character had been decided upon,
the German government informed the
United States that when the blockade
was established it would turn back all
shipping, though no effort would be
made to seize the ships. The United
States government made no response
to this statement at the time Qast
year,, not feeling called on to do so
before presentation of an actual case.
But now that the blockade is sought
to be established, Secretary Hay has
informed the German government
that American ships should not be'in-
terfered with in their trading, eX-
cept the inhibition applies to all ship
ping, and further, the note intimates
disapproval of stOppage at all. In
so doing. the state department is fol-
lowing precedent, for during the eff
fort of the powers to establish
peaceful blockade of Crete, in 1898,
Secretary Sherman formally recorded
refusal to be bound by it. 1t hap
pened that no American ship had oc-
casion to enter Cretan port during
the brief period of time the blockade
was in force, so the issue was not
made then, but in the present case,
with regular lines of American steam
ers entering Venezuelan ports at
short intervals, a test case may soon
follow. 1t is within the legal right of
the allies to close these ports, but
probably this can be accomplished
without a protest on our part, only
after n formal declaration of war. The
hope is growing here that such a dec
laration can, after all, be averted ow-
ing to the energy with which Mr..
Bowen has acted.
The proposal of President Castro to
the allied powers for peaceful set
Element was suggested by Mr.. Bowen,
and it came to the state department
through his hands. 1t has been
forwarded to London and Berlin
through the embassies here, and as
both Great Britain and Germany
have heretofore professed desire to
settIe the issues peaceably, it is hoped
that they will avail of this opPor-
tunity.

for it was seldom children came to the
solemn old house. When the heavy
door swung open, the children almost
fell into the hall, as they had been
leaning against it, wiping the snow
from their little shoes.
"What do you want, children?'
asked Miss Cynthia, assisting them to
regain their balance and closing the
door behind them.
They looked at each other timidly,
their eyes growing large and solemn.
The smaller, a little girl, put one fat
finger in her mouth and looked up at
Miss Cynthia searchingly.

said the boy, boldly.
"Run away" repeated Miss Cynthia,
in shocked surprise; that was very,
very naughty; can't you tell me where
you live?"
Its just round some corners, and
we amt afraid, are we, Jean?" de-
manded the boy.
Jean shook her head and seated her
self in a small chair that stood in the
hall, with great calmness and delibera-
ton.

the boy, joyously, while Jean smiled
approval.

1t was six years now since Sidney's
marriage, and Cynthia had not relent-
ed nor had Sidney asked aid, although
there were two little children, and
Edith was nearly blind with an Attic
ton of the eyes.
Miss Cynthia's heart yearned for
those children, and whenever she
passed a group of neighborhood little
ones, her sharp eyes peared into each
small face trying to discern which
were the Bruce children, but she had
never felt sure of their identity. Her
heart was unusually tender on this
Christmas eve, and for the first time
she wondered if she had not been too
hard upon Sidney and Edith. She had
missed Edith's willing service many
times in the past few years, and there
had been no one to take her place in
Miss Cynthia's household. She
strained her eyes into the gathering
darkness to see Sidney pass on his
homeward way, but it was impossible
to distinguish him in the hurrying
throng. 1t was showing a little now,
and it was some time before Miss Gym
thia noticed two little figures going
along the sidewalk. hand in hand,
laughing and shouting with glee. The
fence in front of Miss Cynthia's yard
was an iron one with the bars set
some distance apart, and the children
paused and pressed their faces be-
tween the pickets, gazing into the
lighted house.
The room in which Miss Cynthia
stood was still in darkness, and she
could see them quite plainly but re-
manned herself unseen. The children
whispered together, then with hesitat-
ing steps came forward toward the
gate and opened it with some difficulty.
Slowly they came up the walk to the
house and gave the bell tremendous
pull. Miss Cynthia went to the door
with a pleased sense of anticipation,

| Sidney Bruce stood there, staring in
amazement.
| Aunt Cynthia!" he gasped.
Miss Cynthia turned, and all the
| hardness of years melted from her
heart. MY own boy!" she murmured,
! laying her hand on his arm, and gazing
into his face as if she could not gaze
enough.
''What does it mean?" the poor fell
low said, as he noticed the children run
forward and cling to her skirts.
She told him all, and he listened won
deringly until she finished, when he
drew each small figure to his breast
and kissed them, with tears in his
eyes.
Let me go now to Edith, while you
get the children ready, and then we
shall 90 home. Don't refuse me, Sid
ney; l know 1 don't deserve your for
giveness, but I'm getting old and I
need you all-eVery one Miss Cynthia
pleaded, TREMENDOUSLY.
Sidney pointed to the door of Edith's
room, and Miss Cynthia entered. What
the two women said will never be
known, but an hour later carriage
drove up and the Bruce family entered
and were driven home.
Miss Cynthia never did things by
halves, and that Christmas was one of
JOY, not only to her own family, but to
many others, for happiness opened the
way to all her treasures, and Miss
Cynthia opened her heart and baud
and gave lavishIy to the poor.
The children found that Santa Claus
knew the way to Aunt Cynthia's, and
that was sufficient for them. They did
not think, as their elders did, of the
words, "a little child shall lead them"
