! TRAGEDY in TENNESSEE
Labor Trouble in Mining Town
Ends Fatally.
A Fisht i'm Which Four Persons Are
Killed and Three Others
wounded.

Knoxville, Tenn, Feb. S--A bloody
tragedy was enacted Sunday in the little
mining town of Coal Creek, Tenn, AZ
miles northwest of Knoxville, as the
result of which four lives were snuffed
out and three persons wounded, one per-
haps fatally. The clash was the culmi-
nation of the trouble between union and
nonunion labor. Three Of the dead men
were killed by guards employed by tho
Coal Creek company, while the fourth
victim. deputy sheriff, was killed by a
guard he had gone to arrest.
| When the wage scale was signed In
District 19. United Mine Workers OF
America, the Coal Creek company re-
fused to resume work in the Fraterville
and Thistle mines, and for several
months these two mines were shut down.
Efforts were made to resume with non
union men, but these were either in
duced to join the union or were chased
away, presumably by union men. The
aid OF the courts was invoked to Dust
families of union miners from the
houses owned by the company. Scores of
arrests were made for trespassing fur
Their and Ill feeling was thus engendered.
Recently dozen guards in charge of
Jud Reeder, who served as lieutenant
OF police in this city for many years,
were employed to guard the mines and
protect the men who had been induced
to go to work. Nonunion men were be-
ing brought to the mines every few days,
and Reeder and his guards would 90 to
the railroad station and meet them. On
Sunday the crowd Of idlers around the
station was increased Reeder and 70
guards came from the mines to meet a !
few nonunion men who were to arrive |
on the morning train. When the non.
union men got off the train and were
seen by number of small boys. they be-
gan yelling 'scab, and the killing grew
out OF this taunt. 1t is hard to tell what
the provocation was, but the miners
must have crowded up and attempted

news, and was ''aAts@
quite urgent in her demands There
was nothing to tell her, but to satisfy
her one of the commission finally vol
unteered the information that they
had decided to include Jesus Lover OF
My Soul in the church hyrnnal. The
members of the commission believe
the young lady wrote the story cor
rectly, but an enterprising city editor
either not believing the story of much
value in that shape, or typographical
error, made it read that the commits
sion had decided mot" to include the
popular hymn. The item created a
terrible stir in church circles, and
brought down upon the heads of me
innocent members of the commission
the wrath of the church in general,
and entailed vast amount of cor
respondence on their part.
The story fully explained the desire
OF the commission to remain out of
print, and they did so until they had
assurances that a similar error
would not occur in any 9f the Wash

years, recalls public attention to the
curious story of long anti-Catholic op-
position to the placing of statue OF
Roman Catholic priest in the capt.
toll. The fact that, in sympathy with
such opposition, a great number OF
people demanded its removal has thus
far prevented it's formal acceptance by
the nation. SO pronounced was the OPP
position that for long time two capt.
'tol policemen were stationed as guards
for fear someone might attempt to
damage it.
All of which again brings to mind
that, notable as is this marble as i
work of art, it still is in no sense a
likeness of Father Marquette. Rather
it is an ideal" portrayal Of him as
missionary and discoverer from the
hand and brain of Trentanove, noted
sculptor of Florence, Italy, and OF
Milwaukee, Wis. Until the last year
or two no one knew or even supposed
they knew what Father Marquette
looked like. But a short time ago
there was discovered in Montreal a
very old painting. No one can cer-
tainly say that even this is true like
ness of the discoyerer of the MISSISSIPPI
pi river, but there is strong reason 10
believe that it is authentic Students
of the early history Of the northwest
see in this painting features which
may we'll have belonged to the jealous
young Catholic who worked SO hard
for the. souls of the primitive savages
and whose name is linked with that
of the trader Joliet as joint discoyerer
of the Father of Waters.

Kinleys favorite flower and was worn
on that day in memory of the lamented
president.
President Mckinley was seldom seen
in Washington without carnation in
his buttonhole. His favorite among
the carnations was the red or carmine.
He wore one of these in preference TO
the white, as rule, and when he
wanted to show his pleasure at meet

nation, most frequently red. All
over the country to-day are women
who have in various states of preser-
walton carnations given to them by
the president when they called with
their husbands or others to visit him.
The president liked little girls, and 1T
was pleasure to him to pin carna-
tions on their little dresses or give
them one each to take away in their
higher to these fortunate ladies and
misses than this. There were times
when bevy of school girls would call
at the white house. President Nc
Kinley would see that he could not
give them all carnations, as he did not
have that many on his desk, but a
number of times some of the more
courageous girls would ask for the
flowers. These girls got what they
asked for, with a charming smile in
addition.

The senator frequently asks for his
secretary, Elmer Dover, but pretexts
have been used to shift his attention
from business matters. Mr. Dover had
expected to go to Chicago to attend an
important meeting of a subcommittee
Of the republican national committee,
but remained here on account of the
senator's condition. Mr.. Hanna was not
told the reason for Mr. Dovers remaining
here and believes that it was.due to i'll
ness in his secretary's family. He has
made frequent inquiries upon this
point and Mr. Dover Ito avoid having the
senator's attention focused on business
matters, has found it necessary to avoid
seeing the senator except once since the
illness reached serious stage. On that
occasion the senator showed that he was
devoting considerable thought to bust
ness cares and a question about one mat
ter concerning which. he wanted TO give
instructions led him to make numerous
other inquiries. 1t is this mental effort
which those attending him are earnestly
striving to avoid.
