HATPIN CAUSES HER ARREST.

Margaret Lockhart, Dressed in Boys
Attire in Tolls of the Law.
Pittsburg, May 25.-Margaret Lock
hart, the young girl from Grove City,
Pa, who was arrested in the Union sta
ton while dressed in boys clothing
and endeavoring to purchase ticket
for Wheeling, w. Va, has been called
for by her father, j. G. Lockhart,
coal miner of Grove City, and taken
home. The young woman seemed to
resent her treatment by the police of
ficials of this city, and she lost no op-
portunity of so expressing herself.
Before the girl was discharged She
was taken into the Office of Superin-
tendent of Police Wallace, where she
was given some good advice. She
seemed to pay little attention to what
was proceeding When asked as tt
whether she would repeat the attempt
to leave her home, she answered that
she would not. The party left for
Grove City, and 1t is probable that the
police of Pittsburg will hear no more
of the little girl whe desired to become
boy for the purpose OF making her
own way in the world.
The girl left her home several weeks
ago and since has been in this city and
Allegheny employed as a domestic.
She left her last place of employment
last SATURDAY night, had her hair cut
off, purchased boys clothing and. at
tired herself in them for the purpose,
she said, of being better able to make
her own living as u man, She then
threw her own clothing into the Ale

To be such successful wife, to re-
tain the love and admiration of her
husband to inspire him to make the

If woman finds that her energies

dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, whites irreg-
ularities or the blues, she should start
at once to build up her system bv a

sunday Newspapers, HARD Luck.

Fitzgerald, Ga, May 25.-The Law
and Order League of this place is get
ting very active these warm summer
days. They are determined to see
that the Sunday closing is to be OBJ
served strictly. Their ediet has gone
forth that cold drinks and ice cream
shall not be sold on these hot and
sultry Sabbath days to quench the
thirst and tickle the palate of the Sun
day promenaders.
This order has not brought forth sc
much talk as the one in which they
have carried through one of thei1
members in the city council, who in.
troduced an ordinance prohibiting the
sale and delivery of Sunday newspa
pers, This has caused a sensation
among the readers of the daily papers.
1t is thought by many that it is a ster
to extremes and is uncalled for, but
the Law and Order League has seen
that the privilege of selling newspa
pers has been abused to some extent
by the selling of soft drinks on the
sly, SO they have made their orders
sweeping, and Sunday next will be a
dry and lonesome Sabbath in Fitzger.

Once OF twice before yesterday the

with no name signed, but the writing
was that of the despondent girl, was

as follows

When the PROSTATE form of tn girl

a Grandy hospital ambulance it seemed
that the attempt at suicide would be
successful, for life appeared to be al

| spreading each hour in tn elumber dis

Unable to meet the demands of po.

call for 1000 able bodied citizens to
report at Chief O'NeilIs office at once
and be sworn in as policemen to do
strike duty.
Sheriff Barret continued to swear in
deputies. The number of deputies
sworn in now numbers 1000, one-fourth
of whom are active deputies assigned
to protect nonunion drivers and wag
ons. Armed sentries are guarding
the various armories located in the
CITY and the officers expected a call to
arwms at any moment.
Fifty thousand rounds of ammuni
tion have been distributed among the
troops.
President Shea of the Transfers
union held different view of the
prospects for complete tie-up of the
wood and building industries. He said:
"All this talk of tying up the build
Ing industry Is idiooy, The lumber
association combine dealers have long
been fighting with the teamsters who
do business with the desk and tele.
phone dealers, the switch track men,
as they call them. These lumber
5obbers cap set all the union team
gters they want and can supply all the
lumber that is required and at lower
prices than the lumber association will
sell. They also have an advantage in
the fact that they can have lumber
delivered on any switch track whereas
the lumber yard is stationary"
Before leaving for Judge -Kohlsaat'
court, where he was instructed to ap
pear to answer charge of contempt,
Mr.. Shea conferred with several la
Dor representatives and outlined plans
for the carrying on of the strike to-
day and tomorrow. Later he remark

ST. Petersburg, May 25.-Admiral
Ayellan, head of the Russian admiralty
department, confirms the Associated
Press dispatches saying Vice Admir-
al Rojestyensky is steaming north to
give battle to Admiral Togo.
He considers it, possible that news
to the effect that the two fleets have
met may be received any day.
In an interesting interview Admiral
Avellan confirms the unofficial reports
that Admiral Rojestvensky has brok-
en- down and asked to be relieved. He
says Rojestvensky sent detailed re-
ports of the condition or his own
health and of the health of the crews
of his fleet
The constant tension and hard work
of the long voyage have been a great
strain on the admirals strength.
Even before he left" said Avellan,
"Rojestvensky was a sufferer from kid
ney trouble, but his health is now no
worse. His report breathes a spirit
of strength, resolutioness and conf
dence, and other reports show he has
inspired his crews with the confidence
of their commander AS a matter of
fact, it is not Rojestyensky but Vice
Admiral Voelkersam who has suffered
from the long stay in the tropics"
