HafA IS WOrKlng Qally on ASt
 N " memoirs. Four secre- SAWMNkg taries assist her in this .sSe task. Although the rec
 ords of the Bonaparte family intrigues have been destroyed, there are over hundred boxes of po- litical documents connected with the joint reign of Napoleon H. and Flu genie to draw from, and every per sonal letter received by Eugenie from the day of her marriage has been carefully filed by the empress her self.
 Eugenie's years now number 76. A long life, an eyentful and tragic one it is the chroniclers are at work on. The story of the life of girl of glo- rious beauty, whose bright Titan hair, dazzling complexion and other wondrous charms conquered both prince and peasant; the story of an old, old woman, bent with weight of years, sorrow and disease, whose snow-white locks surround an ashen face, from which look out eyes worn dim by weeping. The pitying world, looking upon the widowed, childless woman, remembers the words of the psalmist: ssIf by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow"
 The memoirs will make book worth reading, the record of impor- tant events from the viewpoint of one of the central figures. Shall we then for the first time be able to get true picture of the woman about whose life, character and ambitions it has been difficult to obtain an unpreju- diced judgment?

that such relations will be continued.
The men want to deal fairly with the
railway companies, and so far there has
been no disposition on the part Of the
companies to deal otherwise with the
men. E.
If the railway companies had not at
tempted to forestall the demand for an
increase by Offering the men an advance
Of IL cents an hour, the switchemn
might have been satisfied with the
amount. But as the offer was made ap-
parently with the object of preventing the
union from asking for raise Of salary a
principle is felt to be involved. If the
switchmen accept the advance Of ~ cents
an hour, they feel that they will acknowl-
edge their union is powerless and that
the only advances they can hope to Sc
cure will be such as may be given vol
UNFAIRLY by the railway companies. On
the other hand, if the companies yield
to the demands of the men, they will
acknowledge the union and its right to
ask for future advances in wages, changes
in hours. etc. A..
Sept. 80 the various railway companies
notified the switchmen that their wages
were to be raised IL cents an hour This
offer Oct. i was refused by the union and
the regular demand for an increase of
cents was submitted to the companies.
This demand has been under consideration
since that time, but definite decision
has not yet been reached. Grand Master
Hawley says that the matter will be set
tied without difficulty:

UABORlNG MEN PLEASED
At Appointment of e. e. Clark to Coal
Strike Commission. >-: ,,

Strike Commission.
Organized labor in Minneapolis, and in
fact in all parts Of the west, Is greatly
pleased with the action of President
Roosevelt in selecting f. E. Clark Of c.
dar Rapids, Iowa, as the member of the
coal strike commission. The appointment
gives organized labor a representative
and Mr.. Clark is very popular among la
boring men Of the west.
Mr.. Clark was selected by President
Roosevelt as the sociologist and, although
he is a laboring man, is one of the most
eminent sociologists in the west. He has
made thorough investigation Of social
problems and has succeeded in solving
several of them by practical experiments.
He is grand chief of the Order Of Railway
Conductors.
Mr. Clark was in Minneapolis at the
convention Of employers and employees last
month and took prominent part In its
deliberations. His speeches, made before
the convention, attracted considerable at
tention and received much favorable COM
ment.
Mr.. Clark studied the great Burlington
strike several years ago at close range and
has made a general study of strikes. From
a speech at the employers and employees
convention in this city it Is cleaned that
he does not favor compulsory arbitration
but believes that If employer and en-
they can settle their grievances them
selves. In the speech at the university
he said: 49, ~
STRIKES cannot be settled upon a basis
Of good fellowship by leaving the questions
to arbitrary committees, who are not in
sympathy with either side. but make a
business Of mediating between factions.
Wherever employer and employe can be
brought together with feelings that they
should each strive to get at the troubles
Of the other strikes will end and leave
| better feeling than when forced arbitra-
| ton brings them about"
Another thing in connection with Mr..
| Clark which Is especially pleasing to or
ganzed labor is the fact that he is actually
| a laboring man. He is engaged as rail-
way conductor and is actually member
| Of organized labor. Local labor unions
| feel that better and more acceptable
appointment could not have been made.

Twin City Switchmen Following
That Course in Effort for
Higher Wages. =.
They Feel That Defeat Would Be
Admitted by Accepting IL
Cents Increase.

The twin city switchmen have not yet
succeeded in securing the increase Of 5
cents an hour asked by them, and it is
likely that mass meeting Of switchmen
will be held to give emphasis to the de-
nland. 1t Is understood that their de-
mands have not been rejected by the rail-
way companies yet. no promises have
been made which would indicate that the
demand Is to meet with the approval of
the various companies. Grand Master
Hawley is In the city and is lending his
i'd In the matter.
While mass meeting will probably be
held not later than Sunday, this fact does
not indicate that there will be any trouble
between the men and the roads. In fact
the negotiations so far have been Of the
most friendly nature, and it is expected

Barber Shop Burglarzed.

The barber shop of Thomas Evans,
Bloom street, was broken into Sun
day morning and about seven dollars
worth of tobacco was stolen. The
goods were contained i'll the window
and all the burglar had to do was to
smash the glass and abstract the to-
bacco The shop evidently was not
entered by the burglar.
There is no clue TO the robber, al
though it is known that the shop was
broken open after l.30 O'Clock Sunday
morning. At that hour the poll ce
officers passed down Bloom street and
found everything all right.
This is the second time within a
few years that Mr.. Evans shop has
been burglarized.

PREPARING
FOR WINTER

The street commissioner has now
completed the work of cleaning up the
streets of the borough. The cutters are
now open and tho streets never pres
ented a neater ana cleaner appearance
on the approach of winter The dang
| er of flooded pavements caused by the
choking up of cutters when the snow
melts which was much feared has now
| been removed.
The street commissioner says that he
never saw such an accumulation OF
leaves in his life, as lay upon the
streets this fall, due no doubt to the
wet season. How to get rid OF them
formed quite n problem. Immense
quantities were carted away. Where
| at all practicable they were gathered
up in heaps and burned on the street.
Street Commissioner Deem has also
given Billiards. 5 Run good cleaning
out from the ID. L. q W. Railroad up
to the borough line. All accumula-
tions of whatever sort have been
thrown out so that the channel, rclicv-
ed of all obstruction, will drain off the
water in time of heavy rain with little
flooding.
The ID. l.. q W. Railroad Company
today will put force of men at work
cleaning out the culvert under the ID.
i. & W. track, which was reported at
the last meeting of Council as badly
filled up and likely to cause consider
able flooding when the first high wat
er occurs.

No Heavy Snow This Winter.

A weather prophet says that the real
cold weather won't set in before the
middle of December, and perhaps not
then, for the reason that the snakes
are still to be seen on top of the
ground. He says that snakes invari-
ably take to their holes for the winter
at least two months before cold wealth

the fact that the mountain grass is not

not know that anything had occurred
until the fireman called out that they
had struck a man. 1t is stated, how,

walking between the two tracks, seem

very moment that the train was upon
him stepped over in front of it, The
engine ran over his right foot just
above the ball, seyering the toes and
leaving them suspended only by a
shred of flesh. Beyond this he did
not seem much injured with the ex-
ception of a very badly scratched and
bruised face caused no doubt by fall

Thanksgiving Foot Ball.

The management of the Danvillc De-

play here on Thanksgiving Day. This
gives an assurance of a good game and
there is no doubt that the attendance
will be large. The Defenders are prac-

MISSIONARY
FROM MEXICO

Tie meeting of tie WOman's Home
and Foreign Missionary society Of St.
Paul's NJ. f. church held yesterday
afternoon possessed an unusual in
terest owing to the presence of Mrs.
Purdy of Sunbury, District secretary,
and Miss Purdy, missionary of Pue-
bla, Mexico, both of whom gave talks.
The attendance was something larger
than usual, there being present not a
few ladies from other churches who
are interested III missionary work.
Mrs. Purdy gave very interesting
talk setting forth many facts relative
to missionary work III the district that
were full of encouragement to the
members.
Miss Purdy's talk possessed a pecu-
liar interest coming as it did from one
who had so actively participated in
the work she described and who had
so recently returned from the mission
airy field She began by paying fine
w llCI -NoLhCl' AtAS''
Limborger Of this city, whose persev-
erance and progressive teaching she
said, has contributed i'll marked de-
gree to bring the mission school of
Pucbla up to its present high standard
of excellence.
The girls school at Puebla is OF
especial interest to the young Peo-
pies Missionary societies of Central
Pennsylvania Conference, as it is to its
support that their contributions are
applied The mission school embraces
a ten years course, beginning with
the kindergarten and ending with the
normal department. Some three hun
dred pupils are in attendance and the
school is partly self-supporting.
Miss Purdy states that infidelity
prevails i'll Mexico to an extent little
dreamed of in this country. The young
of many families even of the most
aristocratic and wealthy class, receive
no religious instruction whatever. In
fidelity is openly taught in the schools.
Christianity is described as system
which belongs to a bygone day-a sys-
tenn which perhaps had its uses under
once existing conditions, but which
has now given way to better systcm
of philosophy, which is understood to
mean agnosticism or some other foru
of infdellty. The superior methods
employed in the mission school and
the especial pains taken to develop
character seldom fail to impress the
parent if at all discerning and thus
very many young girls from the better
families are placed in the mission
school, where they are brought under
Christian training and where III many
instances they adopt the Christian
faith.
A characteristic trait of the Mexican
people. is their extreme politeness.
This is not only manifest in the pup
lis, but Miss Purdy states that during
all the years that Miss Limbcrger and
herself have been identified with the
school at Puebla, neither of them has
been the object Of the least discourtosy
nor received an unpleasant word from
any of the patrons. The people, re-
gardless of their unbelicf, are intellig-
ent and polished, many of them hay
ing completed their education in Euro
pean countries.
Miss Purdy described another class
steepod in ignorance and fanatical to
the last degree. Altogether she re-
CARDS Mexico as missionary field that
the Protestant church can not afford
to overlook.
