THREE KINDS OF TRAMPS.
They Are Described by Pennsylvania
Roads superintendent of Police.


PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 19.--Charity
workers from various sections of the coun-
try met here to-day to discuss ways and
means Of dealing with tramps and mendi-
cants. superintendent of Police Bradley,
who is in charge of the force employed to
guard the lines of the Pennsylvania Rail-
way west of Pittsburg, one of the
principal speakers. He said there were 49,
coo tramps in the country, of whom there
are three classes: The train riders, who
live on the line, and when they get out Of
work try their luck in the next town; the
professional tramp, who won't work. but
escaped and discharged convicts, who
would not stick at murder TO accomplish
their ends The remedy, Mr.. Bradley said,
so far as the railroad companies are con-
cerned, Is in a concerted effort 10 secure
action that will make stealing a ride an
offense punishable by a fine and imprison-
ment at hard labor.
G. A Simmons, of the Rescue Mission at
Newark, n. j., said the mission cared for
$500 tramps in a year and twice that num-
Der appealed TO other institutions in the
city.
RAYMOND Robbins told of Chicago's sys-
tenn of dealing with the unfortunate and
criminal. He said the remedy was not in
legislation for railroads, but in a number
of little things, and in some of these the
railroads could help. For instance, in grant
ing lower rates of fare to honest workmen
looking for employment.

DARK DAYS In THE BELT
ONLY ONE GLASS FACTORY OPERAT-

This Is Operated on a Cooperative
Basis-Trust Holds Whip Hand in

HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Nov. 1S.-For
the first time in many years it seems prob
able that the window glass workers OF
Hartford City and the gas belt will pass
Christmas without being at work or even
having market money advanced. The effect
of the window glass blowing machine Will
be felt in many homes of the Indiana gas
belt this winter and the officials OF the
labor union are preventing the resumption
of factories using human blowers that do
want to start and endeavoring to put out
of blast those now operating.
Stranger still is the fact that while this
effort is being made to prevent the operation
of factories employing human blowers, the
same organization makes no objection 10
the operation of machine-equipped plants,
which were furnished wage scales In Sep
TENDER. The organization does not object
to the L. A 800 flatteners and cutters work.
ing twelve months in the year for the
American, which last March ordered all the
blowers and gatherers out forever.
The American, which pays $3.50 day to
the men who operate two blowing ma
chimes. willingly signed the scale of l.. A.
800 and does not operate plant In the
United States with human blowers. II
has not even been consistent enough to OPP
crate a portion of the idle pot factories 1t
has standing about the country to make
good" the bluff that il intends to operate a
portion of its plants with human blow
ers.
Manufacturers claim that 1T is impos-
sible to pay the present scale and sell glass
at the prevailing prices. Only one concern
was operating with the scale in the coun-
try and that was the Van Cleve plant at
Kane Pa, which last week went out of
blast. Over 500 pots are in operation In the
country which not paying the scale,
and L. A 300 has been unable TO prevent
them. Most of them are cooperative
plants.
1t is claimed that after the wage scale
adjustment at Philadelphia last week the
trust sold thousands of boxes of glass for
5 per cent. less than even the low price
prevailing. The Americans machine
equipped factories here and at other places
are shipping carloads of the product OF
the mechanical blowers every day, and IT 4:
conceded that the trust once more holds
the whip hand in the window-glass indus
try, and its close alliance with the officials

In the presence of go fashionable friends
of her husbands family Mrs. c. Chauncey
Stillman was presented to New York
ciety yesterday in the home of her sister
in-iaw, Mrs. William G. Rockefeller. at No
292 Madison avenue.
1t was a far cry from the little frame
house in Augusta, Me, where Mrs. Still
man lived before her marriage, to the luxu-
liam G. Rockefeller. Mrs Stillman had
been milliner's apprentice and a trained
nurse before she became the wife of James
Stillmans son. but in the Rockefeller draw
ing room she did not betray her lack OF ex-
perence in the world of fashion.
Seldom has there been a more interesting
reception. 1t was strange experience for
the simple Maine woman when she shook
the gloved hands of Mrs. j. Pierpont Nor
gan, Mrs. John ID. Rockefeller and Mrs.
Russell Sage within five minutes. Here
were the wives of three mighty capitalists,
who bowed and complimented the bride.
Perhaps young Mrs. Stillman's heart beat
a little faster then and also when Mrs.
George Jay Gould, in a ravishing frock of
The steady stream of naughty smiling
danes must have impressed the bride. But
country girl looking as if she would swoon
with sort Of stage fright, they were dis
appointed.
Mrs. Stillman wore a frock of white crepe
de chine, trimmed deliberately with Irish
point lace. She wore a string of pearls and
a diamond corsage ornament and in her
black hair were JeWeied pins. The hostess
was dressed in pink silk of heavy texture.
The gown was made with a bolero of cream
lace, and the skirt was trimmed with
flounces of chiffon. The reception lasted
from TO o'clock. George Morgans
daughter, Miss Caroline, and Miss Ethel
Rockefeller poured tea. Mrs. ID. Hunter
McAlpin. another sister-in-law, was there.
but Mrs. James A. Stillman and Mrs. Percy
Rockefeller also a sister of Mrs. William
q. Rockefeller, were not present. The Percy
Rockefellers are in the Adirondacks and

were Mrs. Hoffman Miller. Mrs. Albrecht
Pagastecher, Mrs Archibald Gonrlay
Thatcher, Mrs James Gore King. Mrs
Lewis Gawtry, Mrs. Frank A Vanderlip,
Mrs. Aaron Northrop Mrs, Frederick P.
Leary. Mrs Frederick Saltonstall, Mrs.
Francis P. Kinnicutt. Mrs. Arnold Wood,
Miss Helen Gould, Mrs. William H. Pulsi-
fer and Miss Anne T. Morgan.
After the reception Mrs. Chauncey Still
man and Mrs. Rockefeller went to the
house of James Stillman, at No. East
Seventy second street. There was a family
dinner, at which were Miss Ethel Rookie
Teller, Mr.. and Mrs. ID. Hunter McAlpin
Mr.. and Mrs. John ID. Rockefeller, Mr.. and
Mrs. z. Parmelee Prentice, Mrs. Nelson A
Aldrch and all the Stillmans who were in
town.
There is no doubt the penniless bride has
been received with open arms. Stillman
fell I'm love with Miss Wright when he was
nurse when he was I'll with pneumonia.
Chauncey Stilman, like Arson Phelps
Stokes, jr.. and John ID. Rockefeller. jr..
is interested in Bible classes and mission
work.
The young couple will make their future
home in San Francisco. where Stllman
has O. position with the Southern Pacific

friends dragged him through the ice to the

waist He reached the spot in time 10 pull
his sons hat from his head, but could not
reach the boy before he sank.

LEPORE ONCE A BANKER
LIGHT ON THE MYSTERIOUS DOUBLE
SHOOTING IN DENVER CHURCH.
Priest Is Said to Have Owed Money to
the Partner of the Man with
Whom He Quarreled.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 19.-Rev. Father
Felix Marianne Lepore. pastor of Mount
Carmel Catholic Church in this city, and
Joseph Sorice. of Pittsburg. Pa. who shot
each other after game of cards in the
priests apartments at the rear of the
church last night, are both reported to be
in a dying condition.
In an ante-mortem statement made to
Judge Sales, Of the district attorneys Of
flee, Father Lepore said he believed his
assailant had been sent to Denver for the
purpose of killing him. Since his first con-
versation with Sorice when he came to the
city, about a month ago, Father Lepore
said he had feared the man and had
thought his life was in danger. Sorice re-
fused to say a word either to the district
attroney's representatives or to tbN de-
tectives.
Before coming to Denver in 1892 Father
Lepore conducted a banking business in
New York, where, it is said, he failed for
a considerable amount Among the credit
ors, ii is said. was Giuseppe Pasquel, a
partner of Joseph Sorice, who came 10 Den
yer with the latter about month and a
half ago. Frank Lepore, nephew of the
priest, said that Pasquel had made de-
mand on Father Lepore a few days ago
Tor VII, Whlcn he Claimed tne pIiest oWeu
him. Young Lepore advised his uncle to
give the men the money they demanded,
but he did not do so. However, he provided
a house and employment for them. Frank
Lepore said lis uncle had known Sorice and
Fasquel in Italy. Efforts are being made
to find Pasquel. 1t is believed that be-
hind the tragedy lies deep mystery ex-
tending back to old times in Italy, which il
is feared will never be solved, because OF
the secretive nature of the Italians.
Father Lepore died at IL o'clock tonight
and the physicians say Joseph Soraci, his
alleged assassin, cannot recover. Nothing
new has developed as TO the cause which
led up to the shooting, but it is generally
believed to have been brought about by a
disagreement over money matters. The
story of the card game is discredited, as
no trace of cards or evidence of cards was
found in the room where the shooting &C.

The. Pope Visits st. Peters.

ROME, Nov. BIN the presence of about
three thousand persons the Pope to-day
made his first appearance in st. Peter s
since his coronation. The congregation,
which was mainly comprised of pilgrims,
formed itself into two long lines, through
which his Holiness and the papal court
passed. The Pontiff was dressed in white
and walked through the lines, using neither
the sedia gestatoria nor a Sedan chair The
function was devoid of the pomp which
usually accompanies the Pope's appear
ance, but this very lack of ceremony gave
a greater effect of the personality of the
Pope. The Pope did not ascend the throne,
but Immediately began to recite prayer,
which was followed by the administering
of the apostolic blessing.

The good will of the great Western Re
public is no less valuable to its immediate
neighbors across the Canadian border than
TO ourselves; and it can certainly be much
more profitably and permanently secured by
prudence and forethought in the avoidance
OF controversial issues such the Alaska
question has given rise to, than even by
the submission OF such issues after they
have arisen TO the peaceful arbitrament of
any court or tribunal. We have ourselves
learned this lesson to our cost in the not
very remote past The award given
against this country in connection
with the Alabama claims was no whit
less CALLING TO US than the finding of
the majority of the Alaska boundary COM
mission is TO the Canadians. But we had
the good sense 10 accept IL in the proper
spirit and we have found ample compensa-
ton for the loss il inflicted upon US i'm the
