Suicide

CHICAGO. April 13.-The body of

the cause.

mer wife of well-to-do citizen Of
Denver, Colo. She was divorced from
him six years ago. Other notes were
addressed to Mary L. Darling, Lead
vile, thought to be a sister, and Mrs.

END OF STRIKE

Efforts of Mayor Dunno of
Chicago to Settle Labor
Troubles Come to Naught
DIsTURBERs CLUBBED
Police Of Windy City Dis
perse Mobs That Inter-
fere With Nom Union Men

CHICAGO, April 13.-Mayor Ed
ward F. Dunno to-day again endeavor-
ed to effect peace between the con-
tending sides in the present labor
trouble in Chicago, but at the end of
the day, after several conferences with
the labor leaders and representatives
of the employers, the situation was un-
changed. Mayor Dunno tonight, how
ever, was more hopeful of peace as the
result of his efforts and the peace
negotiations will be continued to-mor-
row.
The labor leaders declared to-day
that they were willing to meet the en-
ployers, but the latter declined the
proposed conference and Mayor Dunno
was forced to meet the opposing ele-
ments separately.
While the peace negotiations were
in progress to-day Montgomery, Ward
G. Co. continued to make deliveries
with non-union teamsters. The SER
vice was interrupted, however, by the
strikers and their sympathizers, who
blocked the streets, making it almost
impossible for the caravans under the
protection of platoons of police to pass
through the streets. In several in
stances the crowds became so demon
strative that it was necessary for the
police to use their clubs and several of
the disturbers were hurt in the clash
with the bluecoats. During one of the
attacks on the strike breakers three of
the non-union men were seriously hurt
and it was necessary for the police to
make several arrests before the crowd
could be dispersed.
Should the efforts of Mayor Dunno
to bring about an amicable settlement
of the difficulty fail, 1t is stated to-
night that the employers will form a
comprehensive teaming company OF
their own in order to carry on their
business should the strike spread.

FEMININE PHILOSOPHY.

The modern marriage license has a
divorce coupon attached.
The night key is no longer the ex-
elusive property of the man of the
house
Cupid has been on earth a long time
but he never seems to grow any older
Or wiser.
Riches are not essential to happi-
ness, but rty-stricken love is
mighty unsatisfactory.
If women were sure that men were
ruled by their stomachs they would
learn to cook better.
One thing can be said in favor of
women's clubs-the performances are
all matinee affairs.
The summer girl thinks she's not
success unless she succeeds in MAX
ing it hot for some man.
While the men are indulging in
frenzied finance the women are plung-
ing into frenzied matrimony
The women who thoroughly under
stands men is wise enough to pretend
that she doesn't.
Cupid is blamed for lots of the fool
ish things that men and women do
when he is really innocent
Adam probably ate the apple be-
cause he was hungry and Eve didn't
have dinner ready on time.
Sunshine in a woman's bosom is
better than a sunburst-but you can't
make her believe it.
The average young girl believes
that the man who asks for a kiss
doesn't want it very badly.
Widows are said to be dangerous
and the divorce courts are making
more of them every day. Help!
Don't Judge woman by her rela-
tions or her clothes-both are best
that she and her husband can afford.
Many an ugly girl is compensated
for her lack OF SOOd LOOKS ID! lHe
knowledge that her friends are true
ones
No matter how the war ends. the
cars wife has the sympathy of every
body-with that flock of girls to raise.
A girl suffers with heartaches until
she gets married and after that mo-
rentous event she suffers with head
aches.
The ideal diplomat is man who
can play cards with women and make
them believe that he IS enjoying it.

uation the sweet girl graduate tries to
