A THREE-FOURTHS VOTE
What the Mine Workers Will Re-
Quire for Strike.

indianapolis, Jan. 27.-The United Mine
Workers Of American have decided that
1t would be impolitic at this time to take
steps to raise a national defense fund by
adding $4,000, 200 to the 81, 10000 900 now in
the national treasury.
The convention received report from
its special committee appointed to draft
an expression on government by injunc-
ton" The report declared that, while
many judges, hear and determine causes
conscientiously, there are those who do
not hesitate to stretch or even break the
law to promote the interests Of those who
are in position to assist them in securing
wealth, power and authority; that they
are moved by the same feeling, prejudice
or passions that influence ordinary citi-
Zens; that if a judge has the right to re-
strain one man, he has right to restrain
a. million; and the power that can break
the constitution to crush the employees of
a coal miner or a railroad king can de-
stroy the lives of the people whenever it
suits the purpose of that power to do so.
The committee was instructed to go to
Washington and work for the passage OF
the "anti-injunction bill'' now pending in
the senate, and to take the record of every
senator on that measure.
A change was made in the constitution
by which it will require three fourths
vote Of the membership Of the ofganiza-
ton hereafter to order a strike. Hereto
fore two-fifths Of the members could or
der a strike.

The HOMER BIRD STORY
A Series Of Crimes That Will Now
Cause His Execution
in Alaska.

Washington, Jan. 27.-President Roose-
welt has declined to Interfere in the case
Of Homer Bird, who Is under sentence Of
death in Alaska. The case of Homer
Bird reads like novel. Six years ago
he was welI-to-do business man in
New Orleans. He had a beautiful and
talented wife, several children and a
happy home. Then he met the other
other woman Naomi Strong. In 1897
Bird organized an expedition to Alaska.
taking the woman with him, and also
three men-Hurlin, Patterson and Shelf
Ter When the party had reached a point
near the Slaughter house on the Yukon,
Bird was seized with jealousy on account
Of the attentions Of the other men to the
Strong woman He deliberately shot and
killed Hurlin and inflicted a fatal wound
on Patterson, from which the latter died
several weeks afterward. Shelter and
the woman managed to escape and re-
ported the facts. Bird was arrested, and
at the trial the Strong woman testified
against the man she had aided in ruin
Ing, and largely on her testimony Bird
was convicted of murder and sentenced
to be hanged. Then his wife, who had
been basely deserted, took up her efforts
to save his life. She came to Washington
and appealed to all the authorities here
who could do anything for her husband.
An appeal was pending in the courts,
however, and President Mckinley would
not act until the appeal had been dis
posed of.
The supreme court granted Bird a new
trial. He was again put on trial and was
once more convicted. Again there was an
appeal on writ of error, and q third
trial was granted by the courts. On this
trial Bird was for the third time con-
victed Of murder, and is now under SEN
tence to suffer the death penalty March

Might Need Them.

A good many amusing stories are
told at the expense of several girls and
domestics generally, but this, which
comes from Chestnut hill, is at the ex-
pense of the mistress rather than the
maid. 1t was a new servant girl who
was, as a rule, truthful, but who
would tell a harmless. white fib when
her mistress required it.
One day the doctor called, but for
some reason the lady did not wish to
see him. Answering the bell, the
maid said her mistress was out.
Now, in the drawing room, leading
directly from the front hall, there was
q folding screen which stood two or
three inches from the floor. Behind
this the lady secreted herself.
$50 your mistress is out?' mildly
said the minister.
'Yes, SIR" answered the maid.
"Well," remarked the caller, as he
looked toward the drawing room, ''the
next time your mistress goes out, will
you kindly suggest that she take her
feet with her"-Philadelph Ledger
