DEMANDS OF STRIKERS
GRANTED BY SOME.

Philadelphia June 3.-There was a
good day for the textile strikers in this
city. Eight firms granted the demands
of the workers, and the ranks of the
strikers were swelled by the workmen
in several mills going out.
The three most important breaks on
the side of the employers, was the
granting of the 55-hour week, and an
increase in pay by Lightenberger & Co.,
manufacturers of ingram carpets, Sam
uel Biswik. yarn manufacturer, and the
FranklnVille Dye Works.
The employees of the carpet and yarn
concerns asked for a 55-hour week, and
a 10 per cent. increase in wages, and
the dyers asked for the shorter week
and an increase of wages from $12 to
$13 a week. The strikers declare this
break portends an early ending of the
strike, because the manufacturers have
all along declared that they were I'M
able to grant an increase in pay.
Another new branch of the textile
industry brought into the conflict was
the hair cloth mills. There are only
six of this class in this city, and all
the weavers employed in them quit
work to-day, because they were not
given the 55-hour week.

JACKSON THE SCENE
OF MURDER TRIALS.
Jail Guard Called Ont by Firing of
Many shots.


Jackson, KY, June S.-The order
changing the trial of the Jet and
White murder cases to Morgan county
has been withdrawn, and the cases
will be tried here as soon as a jury can
be summoned from an adjoining
county.
The Jail guard was called out last
night by a number of shots in the inn
mediate vicinity. The shots were fired
in the air and evidently done merely
20 annoy the soldiers. Otherwise the
night passed quietly.
Curtis Jett and Thomas White, al
legged murderers of James Marcum,
were brought into court by a file Of
soldiers to-day. Sheriff Callahan
shook hands with both prisoners very
cordially. The courts order of yester-
day to hold their trial had not been en-
tered, and upon the suggestion of
Commonwealth Attorney Byrd on ac-
count of the inconvenience and danger
to witnesses entailed, the court direct
ed that the order be not entered and
that the cases go to trial here. The
judge will appoint an elisor to go to
another county and get a jury.

How FOotgear Has Been Lightened.
From New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The evolution of the shoe presents
rather interesting study said an OBJ
servant man, land it would be interest
ing to know just what changes will
take place in the future. Boots have
about disappeared except in plays of
romantic kind. Boots are mostly
found on the stage now. OF course,
one may find them in remote sections
of the country, in lumber camps, where
men are forced to work great deal in
marshy places, and where they often
sink up to their knees in mud and
water. But in modern life boots are as
a rule, in the way. They are too heavy.
They are handicap in the race for
success. Men have taken to lighter
footwear. They want to carry just as
little weight as possible. They do not
want anything that interferes too
much with the suppleness of the limbs.
They have got to keep on the 60 But
l was thinking more particularly of
the influences in detail which have
worked out the changes in footwear
The modern method of living has been
at war with the old-style of shoes, just
as it has been a war with old fash
ms in the matter of clothes. Why
should a man or woman wear heavy
shoes in the cities of to-day? There is
no reason for it. There are too many
conVeniences. A man can step in a
car at his office door and in a few min
utes can step out again right at the
door of his home. 1t is cheaper to
ride than it is to buy shoes. We find
in these conditions an explanation of
the popularity of low-quartered shoes
in these latter days. 1 suppose after
while men and women will be able
to wear toe shoes without any sort of
inconvenience, and they will be able
to get around quite as well as their
forefathers did in boots and shoes of
a heavier kind. Besides the develop
ment of sidewalks in cities has had
much to do with changing the charac-
ter of shoes worn now. 1t is possible
to keep out of the mud and water. to
keep ones feet dry, without crawling
into a cab or street car. So l might
go on and mention many other influ-
ences which have been at work to
bring about the changes we observe in
footwear. But these things will nat
urally suggest themselves to persons
who take the trouble to keep in touch
with modern styles. 1t is an interest
ing study, and one which may be pur-
sued with profit"

IN BEHALF OF JOSEPH BROWN.
Petition for His Pardon Signed by
Residents Of Anacostia.

A petition is in circulation in Anacostia,
addressed to the chief justice of the Su-
rreme Court of the District, in behalf of
Joseph Brown, a citizen of Anacostia, who
is serving one year in the District Jail, the
result of a sentence imposed by Judge An
derson recently, before whom Brown was
tried on the charge of stealing bar Of
gold from the National Museum.
Brown was employe of the museum at
the time the theft was committed The
detectives ascertained that he had pur-
Joined the gold bar and had cut it into
pieces and disposed of the gold at different
places. There was general regret in Ana
costa when Browns act became known,
and subsequently much sympathy has been
shown for him. When the trial was opened
the charge against him was admitted by
his counsel, who made q plea for the I'M
fortunate man on the ground of his being
led to commit the act through the need Of
his family.
This is the view taken of the case in
Anacostia by residents there, it is alleged,
and the petition referred to was the result,
many signatures being attached to the
paper,
