THE MINERS AND
OPERATORS MEET

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 29.-The
joint conference of coal operators and min
ers of the four competitive states o. Iii
nois, Indiana, Ohio and Western Pennsyl-
vania, which adjourned two weeks ago
without having reached an agreement rs
to the wage scale and conditions of labor
for the year beginning April l, reconvened
today to make another attempt to reach a
satisfactory agreement. If no agreement
should be reached at the present confer
ence, a complete suspension of operations
in the four states viii take place the first
of April, and, there being no basis upon
which Michigan, Central Pennsylvania,
Kentucky, West Virginia and Iowa may
make contracts for the year, the mines in
those states also will close This would
mean that 900 union miners would stop
work. They mine each year 232 900 900 of
the 290,000,000 tons of bituminous coal of
the country.
1t is admitted on all sides that the out.
look for an amicable settlement is vague.
The operators return to the conference
prepared TO insist as before upon a wage
reduction of from 10 to IL per cent, while
the miners are equally insstent that there
shall be no reduction.

ii a character that seemed to verify the
~ aims that there is a spirit OF democracy
at the institution that does not exist in the
big Eastern colleges Armed with picks
and shovels or trundling wheelbarrows,
some two thousand students of the uni
vcrsity-of the male sex, of course-turned
out in force at an early hour this morning
and soon the campus resembled highway
being improved or a railroad roadbed I'M
der construction. Throughout the day the
students labored in oyeralls and jumpers
and the result of their efforts was the COM
pletiOn of large section of the boulevard
which is to lead from Bancroft way across
the college grounds to Co Ed canyon Be
sides this several roads were widened and
new sidewalks laid about the college
grounds. The work was done under the
supervision of the department of archi-
lecture of the university. When the
project was first preached the students
volunteered to do the work in order to
save money for the state as well as to show
their respect for hard manual labor The
students of the weaker sex showed their
sympathy for the, movement by cheering
on the boys at their work and afterwards
preparing an elaborate luncheon for them

HEARING IN SCHAFER
MURDER CASE BEGINS

BEDFORD, Ind, Feb. 29.--James Nc
Donald, alias William Parsons, suspected
of being the murderer of Miss Sarah
Sehaefer, was arraigned in court today for
preliminary hearing. Owing to the in
tense interest manifested in the case the
public was denied admittance to the court
room 1t is understood that Mcdonald
will endeavor to prove an alibi, though
he has admitted that he was near the
scene at the hour when the crime is sup
posed to have been committed Persistent
efforts have been made by Sheriff Smith
and others to get confession from the
accused man. but so far he has baffled all
their attempts in this direction and per-
sists in his original statement that he is
innocent of the murder.

calls and presents continue for several
weeks.
On the 3lst day after the child's birth,
if it is boy, and upon the 33d if it
be girl, comes the christening, a custom
similar to our own. After this, on the day
OF the ceremony, if possible, returns calls
are made and an acknowledgment of all
gifts is made. The gifts usually consist of
material, silk cotton or crepe, for baby s
dress, or Of toys suitable for child. The
return gifts are far more simple. being but

MANS TENTH BIRTHDAY

( BAYONNE, N. j., Feb. 29.-Police Ser.
geant William Schmidt, of the Second
precinct in this city, celebrated his tenth
birthday today. Although he is forty-four
years old he has had only nine birthdays
prior to today That's because he was
born on February 30 Strangely enough
the sergeant has a son, George f. Schmidt,
a resident of st. Louis, who was born
on February 20, and who, like his father,
doesn't have a birthday anniversary with
the usual annual regularity The last
birthday of father and son was in 1896.
The year 1900 not being leap year, they
had to wait eight years for the anniversary
of their natal day.

FASHI0NARLE COLORS

Those who thought they knew have told
us that we must wear certain colors this
spring At the head OF the list they have
placed six shades Of champagne six shades
of dainty apple green, six shades OF violet,
followed by four shades Of green related
to the myrtle green's.
Those who thought they knew forgot
that the champagne shades are becoming
TO about one woman in fifty while the
greens can be worn to advantage by many.
Paris chose. therefore, to appear in the
early spring with the delicious shades OF
apple green, while America, little lcore
conservative in delicacy of coloring, has
chosen the deeper green's. In the early
part of the season violet shades will APP

" becoming has given that color decided
preference.
These tones will be observed in kowns.

VESSELS MAY
FLY RUSSIAN FLAG

The new department of commerce and
navigation Of Russia rules that merchant
vessels, to be entitled to fly the Russian
flag, must belong to Russian subjects. A
joint stock company may also have this
right, provided its managing bureau and
chief offices are within the confines Of the
Russian empire and a majority of the
directors are Russian subjects.
The vessel forfeits the right to fly the
flag if foreigner becomes possessed of a
share of the stock, except by inheritance.
Even then the foreigner must sell his share
within two years to Russian subject, or
the vessel win forfeit the right to the flag.
Merchant vessels at present partly
owned by foreigners may continue to fly
the flag as formerly, provided no new for
elgn subjects joins the association and no
Russian member adjures his nationality.
1t is proposed to make it obligatory on
all steamship companies to display the

THE JAPANESE BABY.

The life Of the japanese child is an
active one for the first 81 days Of its ex.
istence. The birth of child is a cause
for great rejoicing. The birth of boy
receives, perhaps greater attention than
does the birth of a girl, since the boy
can carry on the family name and inherit
the titles and estates. But girls arrival
is looked upon as reason for great rejoicing
and the hearts of the parents are glad
lie the child a boy or a girl, messengers
are dispatched at its birth to relatives and
intimate friends bearing the good news.
Friends thus notified are supposed to pay
the new baby an early visit and to present
a gift wrapped in white paper. tied with
a peculiar red and white paper string,
to which is fastened bit of dried fish,
which must be sent with every japanese
gift to bear to the recipient wish for

CROSSING SIGNALS

DRESDEN, Germany, Feb. 29.-Street
car men are experimenting with a new
crossing signal. A box two feet long and
one foot wide is suspended from the wires
at the center of the crossin. and at GER
tain distance the approaching car auto,
matically turns on the electricity and
from the opposite sides of the box is
shown in red letters the word halt" to
warn the car coming at right angles as
well as transfers and pedestrians. When
the car reaches the center of the cross
ing the light is extinguished. Watchmen
are placed at all crossings in this city
where cars meet, but this device is being
tested with view of avoiding the ex-
pense.
