Suit Case Mystery.

Boston, Sept. 25.-The suit case mys-
terry is still puzzling the police. No
clues have yet been found as to the
identity of the young woman whose
body was ished out of the water at
Winthrop last Thursday. The missing
members have not yet been found. The
police believe that the suit case was
thrown from the platform of Boston
and Revere beach car, as man was
seen carrying heavy suit case OF the
same description as that found in the
water, and was afterwards seen without
it. Medical Examiner Harris this
morning filed his report on the autopsy
performed by him on the body of the
young woman. 1t is in line with the
preliminary report that the girl met
death at the hands of some unknown
person through an illegal operation.
The report concludes "And further
declare it to be my opinion that the
woman came to her death by septic peri
tOnitis, following an operation connect
ed with pregnancy from eight to twelve
weeks"

Pittsburg, Sept 25.-"Pray, Holy
Father, that | may obtain grace to be-
come a Catholic" 1t became known
that the woman who at recent audience
given by Pope Plus X handed to him a
card with the foregoing inscription is
Mrs. Charles NJ. Schwab. wife of the
former president of the United States
Steel Corporation. The news, which
comes upon authority that cannot be dis.
pute, caused a stir in Pittsburg society
Mrs. Schwab has been an ardent member
of the Protestant Episcopal Church, while
her husband is a devOut Roman Catholic.
Although their creeds differ, the har-
mony Of their domestic life has been the
marvel and inspiration OF those who have
known the Schwabs in their own home.
Neither has made an effort to sway the
religious belief oftbe other. Mr.. Schwab,
in fact, has erected the Mary E Kinsey
Memorial Protestant Episcopal Church,
at Braddock, to please his wife. 1t is in
memory of her mother, and replaces the
church which Mrs. Schwab attended
when she was a child. Mrs. Schwab is
now in Europe. The audience of which
she asked for the prayers of the Pope
was given several weeks ago. Mr..
Schwab is in this country. 1t Is known
that Mrs. Schwab has longed to be as
one with her husband in the matter of
religion, and that she has long sought
spiritual guidance to this end.

Riot at a Church.

A long standing disagreement between
300 parishioners of st. Stanislaus, POLISH
Church at Adams, Mass, and ihe pastor.
Rev. NJ. F. Kopythiewicz, eliminated
yesterday in riot at the church doors
during high mass. Stones we're thrown,
and the police were obliged to draw their
revolvers before peace was restored. The
dissatisfied parishioners marched to the
church in body and attempted to dis
place the regular collectors with collect
ors of their own. Chief of Police Curran
and several officers, who had been sum-
moned, were forced to draw their clubs to
dispense the crowd. The psrishioners
met the action Of the police by throwing
stones, and two of the officers we're struck,
but not injured. The police then drew
their revolvers, aud overawed the crowd,
which retired a short distance. The po-
lice made six arrests. While the officers
were taking their prisoners 20 the station,
the crowd went back aud entered the
church. The police returned shortly
with re-enforcements and by freely using
their clubs, drove The invaders from the
building. The trouble in the church
developed last month over the financial
condition of the parish.

EXPERIMENTS being made at LexiDg-
ton, Mass, with peat as fuel for locOmo'
tives and general manufacturing indus
tries are proving successful, and it is
predicted that period of new CONNER
cial possibilities is at hand. The BOs-
ton and Maine Railroad is using big
quantities of peat in its engines on short
runs, with satisfying results. The in
ventor of the apparatus for PREPARE
peat says his discovery will revolutionize
manufacturing in districts far from coal
fields. The advantages over coal ale
more heat, lower cost and much less
smoke. The one disadvantage is that
coal and peat cannot be used together.
1t must be one or the other. Peat,
which has long been used in Europe, is
made from vegetable deposits dug out Ct
swamps and dried into briguettes that
are almost as bard as coal. 1t is hoped
that the scientists will soon bring about
such a state of affairs that the swamrs
which are to be found in every land can
be utilized as fuel producers.

EUROPE just at present seems to be

and an epidemic Of international quar-
rels is sweeping over the continent.
No less than ten countries are engaged
10 making war grimaces at one another
and in some Of the quarrels there is an
element of seriousness that must lead to
unpleasant results. Germany and France
have not been in accord over the Mo
roccan question, and while apparently
final settlement has been reached, dip
lomats do not consider that there is more
or less seriousness in the situation. Rus
STA and Finland are quarrelling over the.
methods which the bureaucracy has
been dealing with the grand ducby,
and Austria and Hungary have appa-
rently reached crisis in their dispute
over the subject of whether the HuDgar-
ian language shall be used in giving
commands to the Hungarian soldiers.
At the same time Servia and Turkey
have a dispute of their own arising from
the raids made by Turkish troops into
Seryian territory and ROumania and
Greece are at outs over the attacks made
by ROumanians upon Geek subjects.
The two really serious quarrels are be-
tween Russia and Finland and Austria
and Hungary. Russia is sending nu-
merous soldiers to Finland to curb the
growing restlessness of the Films. Re
ports are circulating that the Firms have

sides are waiting, each desiring the Other

To Advance Price of Coal.

The coal operators OF Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, West Virginia,
and part Of Kentucky will close down
their mines April next for an indeinate
period. The object primarily is to ad-
vance the price of coal, incidentally to
give the United Mine Workers of Ameri-
ca a crushing blow. 1t will be the first
time the anthracite and bituminous coal
operators will be combined against the
coal miners union. Heretofore, one or
the other kept their mines going while
strike existed in the other region. Her
man Justi, commissioner for the Illinois
coal operators, has called a meeting in
Chicago for November % next, for the
pufb lose of efecting an organization
among all the coal operators of the
country. 1t is said that Wall street
6nanciers want George F. Baer, of the
Philadelphia and Reading, to take
charge of the fight against the United
Mine Workers. No contracts are being
taken by coal operators for delivery
after April /, and no new contracts are
being booked. The coal companies from
now on will store all their coal for high
Ell. prices.
