How Chamberlain Met Miss Endicott.

How Chamberlain Met Miss Endicott.
 When Joseph Chamberlain came over to the United States, one of the objects of his visit was to find out what kind of a girl Miss Mary Endicott, his pres ent wife, was. H6s son, Austin Cham berlain, had met her in Europe, fell very much in love with her and asked k.s fathers consent to address her. The old gentleman was somewhat cha. ry of American wives for English gen tlemen.
 Before giving his consent he conclud- cd to meet the lady in person and in- vestigate herself and family. night or two after his arrival in this country there was a ball at the British er- basSv.
 Mir. Endicott then Mir. Cleveland's secretary of war, and his daughter were among the guests. Mir. Chamber lain particularly noticed a stately and beautiful girl whose unaffected dignity greatly pleased him. He asked to be presented. To his surprise and gratii- cation he was introduced to Miss En- dicott. During the entire evening he paid her assiduous attention. The next day he called at her fathers residence. He soon became satisfied as to the SO cial status of the Endicotts. He finally succumbed to the charm of the fair girl and instead of sanctioning Aus tins suit addressed her himself and presented handsome yocog stepmotb-

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Early Days of Anthracite Coal.


 It is just century ago that Daniel Fell made the first successful test of hard coal in Luzerne county, Pa. for heating purposes. It is said that the Indians knew of the black stones" and made pipe bowls of them. Mora vian missionaries early came across the strange mineral in their long jour. neys through the woods. Even after the coal had begun to be mined it was difficult to sell any. The people did not understand how to use it and as serted that it would not burn. Signed certificates that stone coal will burn" had to be sold intending purchasers. Even as late as 1891 the Lehigh and Navigation company sent but 365 tons to Philadelphia. Hard coal was first successfully used at the wire mills of White X Hazard. Falls of Schuylkill. through an accident in December. 1874 The coal cost $2S a ton. But the men could not ignite it. In exas peration they pitched a quantity of coal into a furnace, shut the doors and went about some other work. Some hours later the furnace doors were found to be red hot and the in terior a mass of fire. William Henry, . manufacturer of muskets near NaZa- reth. had secured some of the coal in l79S for his forges. His blacksmith told him the neiShbors called him q fool for trying to burn the 'black stones" In 1S0S. however. ne built a mill and successfully used hard coal in if

Embroidered Effects.

The embroidered effects are new and exceedingly handsome while eminently well suited to their use. Many of the plain colors are exquisite and include . variety of shades. The newer basket weaves and crape flannel are charming and will add materially to the comfor: as well as the beauty of the season to come. They are lighter than flannel of the accepted sort, yet retain much of fts quality and offer wide range of shades and combinations.

Special to The Optic,
SPRINGER, Nov. "a. During the
night, fire broke out in the store Of
the Floersheim Mercantile company
and spread rapidly TO adjoining busi.
ness houses. At 2 o'clock the fire
is practically under control, but the
loss Is very heavy. The warehouse
of Reynolds & Telles. the mercantile
establishments Of Warder. Colono and
Salazar have been destroyed, while
the Floersheim company has suffered
very severely. Mr. Salazar carries
little insurance. The rest Of the
business houses were fairly well pro
tected. It is not known how the fire
originated. All the inhabitants of the
village turned out and worked like
Trojans to suppress and control the
flames. II is impossible at this time
to estimate the damage. but II
amounts to many thousands Of dol
lars.

other side The men of Las Vegas

will support Il TO the best Of their abil.
ity and that is saying a great deal
in brief compass.
Or the future of the organization
there can be no reasonable doubt.
The club Is founded on broad and lib.
eral and just principles. In no town
this side the rim of the world can
there be found a more intelligent, rep.
resentatiye body Of men than that
which composes Its membership.
Every body is fully converted To the
belief that henceforth the interest of
the city can best be advanced by one
5trong. central organization, instead
of BY half dozen bodies. There
are no kickers, or knockers, or OBJ
jectors. The membership is united
firmly on all essential matters The
harmony Of feeling In the club speaks
volumes for harmony Of feeling in
the city. The time has come. at last,
heaven be praised, when the people
Of LAS Vegas have realized that In.
ternecine strife must cease, and that
all must unite for the upbuilding Of
q big city In the most favored corner
OF the great west. The arbitration
feature, providing for 4 fair and
Just settlement Of all questions likely
to cause III feeling or diversity Of
effort, has been generally commended.
II there be. despite this, despite The
attitude Of the large number Of men
who are working for the best interests
OF the whole city, those who would
still oppose and strive to maintain
the dissension that has nearly -uincd
the community. they are worthy of
the scantiest consideration.
II is certain that before the week
10 over the membership Of tho club
will have passed the two hundred
mark. While business interests and
the welfare Of the community have
been given the nrst place, and must
always take nrst place In the club.
the social side will not be neglected.

Only One Contention in the Way
to Settlement of the Big
Walk-Out
CAR LINE DAMAGED
Wires Cut and All Manner Of
Distractions Placed on the
Track

CHICAGO, Ills, Nov. "a. Conflict
ing reports of the probability Of an
immediate peace in the street car
strike came from the representatives
Of the Chicago City Railway company
and striking trainmen today. 1t was
learned definitely that the Railway
company had offered to arbitrate the
contention which the company CON
sidered remained the sole issue be-
tween the present situation and a
settlement. This point, it was said,
is the taking back of those employees
OF the company who went on a SYM
pathetic strike. The company assert
that these men violated the agree
ments while the strikers assert that
IL agreanent was not properly
made. A representative OF the strik-
ers declared today that they were no
nearer settlement than yesterday.
During the past twelve hours the
strike sympathizers did more damage
to the car lines than at any previous
time since the strike begun. Wires
were cut and all manner of obstruc-
tions put on the tracks. A big gang
OF men worked for hours removing the
latter. A guard on Archer avenue
was beaten, stripped Of clothing and
robbed. Another attempt was made
today to run State street cars, but
their progress was SLOW. Serious de-
lay was caused by damage to the big
underground turnwheel on which the
cable reyolyes at State street. The
steel rails slipped between the four
foot spokes when the power was ap-
piled. The wheel was twisted out Of
shape and the line was nearly put out
OF service for the day. The rails were
only extricated by saving them in
sections.
When the first State street trains
reached Forty-third street crowd
estimated at thousand men was fol-
lowing them, The trains were under
heavier police guard than usual, since
the police had orders to Shoot to hit"
from Inspector Hunt Ii the event Of a
concerted attack.
Ii took the State street trains two
and a half hours to 20 from Sixty
first street 70 Thirty-ninth, but from
the later street to the down town
district progress was practically nm
obstrncted. The police charged the
crowd in front of the headquarters
Of the striking engineers and iiremen,
hut no one was hurt.

Las Vegas now has strong, pro-
