admiring it, retired.
Then, says the Baltimore Sun, came
trouble which nearly resulted in a
divorce suit. Thoughts of the coming
fishing trip so filled the doctors mind
that he could not sleep. so he arose,
assembled his split-bambOo rod, and
put the reel and line on. Not having
space in the room to test il, he care
fully opened window and began TO
make casts into the wide area Of the
street, but he made one too many.
In attempting 10 wind the reel there
was a stop.
Thinking 1t a kink in the new line,
he wound harder. Then there was a
suppressed scream from the sidewalk.
The reel worked. however. and To the
prospective fisherman's surprise, a
woman's picture hat came 10 the end
Of the pole. He knew what had hap
pened. The scream from below had
awakened his wife, and she. seeing the
hat. demanded an explanation. The
doctor had hurry job on the street.
Securing his rod between the legs Of
a chair, he unlocked the hat and
rushed to the front door. The own
er's husband was fighting mad, as was
the lady. The doctor made apologies
and humbly got on his knees and found
the hat pins.
After an explanation, which the ag-
grieved lady and her husband accept
ed. the doctor went TO his room, only
to find his wife in a state OF temper.

Tor its return, but il was not found.
A few days since another party Of
Philadelphia women and some voupg
people from Chicago visited the lake
and went fishing at the point where
Miss Harridan lost her ring. In cross

defence Of the Jews and of former
Captain Dreyfus, was found dead in
his Paris house yesterday morning.
Asphyxiation resulting from the fumes
from a stove in his bed room, is given
as the cause of death.
M. lola and his wife retired at ten
O'Clock Sunday night. Madam lola
was seriously i'll when the room was
broken into yesterday morning. At
about noon she was removed to a pri-
vate hospital, where she recovered con-
seriousness for a short time and was
able briefly to explain to a magistrate
what had happened NJ. and Nine.
lola returned to Paris from their
country home at Medan Sunday. Ow-
ing to a sudden spell of cold weather
the heating stone in their bedroom
was ordered to be lighted. The stove
burned badly and the pipes of the stove
are said to have been out of order. To
the magistrate Nine lola explained
that she woke early yesterday morning
with a splitting headache. She wax
ened her husband and asked him to
open the window She saw him rise
and attempt to move towards a window
but he staggered and fell to the floor
unconscious. Nine. lola tainted at
the same moment and was, therefore
unable to give the alarm.
The servants of the lola household,
not hearing any movement in their
masters apartments yesterday morn
ing, entered the bed room and found
NJ. lola lying with his head and shout
ders on the floor and his legs on the
bed. Doctors were. summoned, but
they failed to resuscitate him. Nine.
lola was unconscious but after pro-
longed efforts on the part of the phy-
sicians she showed signs of life, but
it was some time before she became
conscious. 1t is believed that she will
recover.
The death of M. lola, which only be-
came generally known late yesterday
afternoon, caused a great sensation in
Paris, and last evening there was a con-
slant stream of callers at the lola res
idence. NJ. Zola's body lies upon a di-

and then cut in two and the forward half
pulled forty-eight feet forward. The gap
was then filled in with new frames
fastened firmly to the old parts so as to
make a complete and stanch ship forty
eight feet longer than before and Of 500
tons greater carrying capacity.
Such was the success. and accuracy Of
the engineering that the forward section
of the ship was moved the forty-Pight

Strong Belief at Strike Headquarters
That End Is Near.
Wllkesbarre, Pa, Oct. President
Mitchell is still silent on his visit to
Philadelphia Monday He says he is
not in a position to speak but declares
that the party he was in conference
with did not represent the coal Oper-
ators. This declaration is not cOnsid-
cred important as Mr.. Mitchell would
not deny that indirectly the person he
represented might be authorized to
speak for the coal companies. The i'm
preston at strike headquarters is that
the mysterious man in the case is one
of J. PieTpont MOrgan's financial agents
and that he stands very close to P. A.
B. Widener It is also believed that
the party who conferred with the min
ers chief got his best terms for a set
Element of the strike and that those
terms are now being discussed by the
mine owners President Mitchell will
say nothing until the other side is
heard from. District Presidents Mich
oils, Duffy and Fahy are still here.
1t is thought they are waiting develop
ments and may be summoned to a
Gouncil any time.
Last evening President Mitchell
talked over the long distance phone
with a party in New York. 1t was ru-
mored that Mr.. Mitchell may go to New
York almost any time now. The feel
ing is stronger than ever that settle
ment of some kind is pending. Gov
ernor Stone is said to be interested in
the negotiations. 1t is known that he
has been in correspondence with Mr..
Mitchell this week, and 1t is also ru-
mored that he had a messenger here
who conferred with the chief officer
Of the miners.
