Valadon took the boat back to the

hotel he went to the Barbary Coast. In
one of the dives sat Il party of men,
rough, uncouth, and with a most evil

Billy went up to the leader.

Before the end of the half hour the
silk hat and frock coat had been meta
morphosed into a cloth cap and pea
jacket, and Billy was So richer.
The leader marshaled the gang, and
an hour later Billy was back in Oak

He clung to q handsome leather suit
case, but this time it carried only ne

cheese and Il bottle of pickles. There
was also two quart pail, which, it
was explained, was to be filled with

A babu in charge of the documents

they were being seriously damaged by
rats. He wrote to the government to
provide him with weekly rations for
two cats to destroy the rats. The re-
quest was granted, and the two cats
We're installed. one, the larger Of the
two, receiving slightly better rations
than the other. All went well for a
few weeks, when the supreme govern
ment of India received the following
dispatch: II have the honor to inform
you that the senior cat is absent with
out leave What shall ! doY The
problem seemed to battle the supreme
government, for the babu received no
answer. After waiting few days he
sent off a proposal: I'm re absentee
cat. I propose to promote the junior
cat and In the meantime to take into
government service a probationer cat
on full rations." The supreme govern
ment expressed its approval of the
scheme, and things once more ran
smoothly in that department.

TRAVELLED so MILES
in BIG BALLOON
Successful Trip Made by Man and We
man Who Started from Pittsfeld,
Mass, and Reached Somers,
Connecticut.

Springfield Mass, April 12.--After a
successful balloon trip during which
they covered the fifty miles between
Pittsheld. Mass, and Somers, Conn. in
just three hours, DIR. JulianP. Thomas
of New York and his wife and Charles
Levee, professional aeronaut, arrived
here last night. They made a successful
descent near Somerville at Jobs hill at
6.f0 p. m, and arrived here by trolley
at about ten o'clock. DIR. Thomas said
it was the longest balloon trip he ever
has made. IL was Mrs. Thomas first
trip of the kind and she declared she
enjoyed IL thoroughly. The highest
point reached during the ascent was
about 5000 feet.
In making the ascent at Pittsfeld the
balloon went up 1000 feet and was
eaughe by current which carried it
toward the Hoosac range a thick cloud
sson interfered with observation and to
escape this Levee descended to a height
of about 500 feet, at which point the
landscape again became clearly visible.
Later as the sky cleared, all the ballast
aud even the life preseryers in the car
were tossed out until the balloon reach
ed the altitude of 5000 feet. The course
was generally about southeast by south.
The balloon passed little southwest Of
Springfield and crossed the Connecticut
river. passing over Enfield, Conn, and
gradually nearing the earth as it APP
preached Somcrs.
On Jobs Hill the balloon collided
lightly with the top Of tall chestnut
tree and then sank gradually to tho
ground touching 10 easily that all the
occupants were able to alight easily
Tie balloon was undamaged and will be
shipped back to FittsheId. The gas bag
is OF $4,000 cubic feet capacity and Is
one Of the largest in use in this coun-
try. 1t carries a car easily capable of
accommodating three persons.
Dr.. Thomas said there were no un-
usually exciting incidents in the trip
except that once Mr.. Levee was obliged
to climb into the rigging TO free rope
which had become twisted.

CONCESSION
EXPECTED
Miners Reply Likely to be
ConciliatOry.
AGREED ON LAST NIGHT
Utmost Secrecy Surrounded the Action,
and the Substance Of Answer to
Operators Is Largely 4 Mat
ter of Conjecture.

New York, April 12.--After having
the counter arbitration plan Of the an.
thracite operators under consideration
nearly all day, the general scale COM
mittee of the hard coal miners COM
pleted the draft Of their reply last
evening, Il is believed the miners have
decided to accept the operators offer
that the anthracite strike commission
take up the dispute but will ask that
the tribunal be permitted to consider
the original demands with certain i'm
portant notifications.
The concessions said 10 have been de-
cided upon are that instead Of an agree.
ment being entered into between the
operators and the United Mine Workers
of America, it is made with the anthra-
cite mine workers. that the check Off
be limited to the wage workers who
agree 10 an assessment to defray the
expenses incurred in carrying out the
miners part Of the agreement instead
of all mine workers--lInion and non.
union--being compelled 10 contribute,
and that the duration Of the agreement
be left TO the commission. The miners
in their arbitration plan asked for a
two year agreement and the operators in
their counter proposition wanted one for
three years.
The general scale committee Of the
miners held two sessions yesterday at
which most Of the members discussed
the operators plan. They were by no
means unit in their views and the
more radical committeeman favored a
complete rejection OF the operators pro
posal outside of that portion which pro-
yides that the strike commissioners be
the arbitrntors. They feared the opera
tors might taken advantage Of the clause
in the latter's proposition which gives
them the privilege Of asking the ar
bitrators to reduce the wages Of the
men. All the committeeman viewed
favorably the offer that the strike COM
mission arbitrate the differences instead
of the coneiliation board.

port to the next regular meeting Of the

Supt. P. S. Smith Of the water de-
department reported about $4,000 in wa

instructed to confer with d like com.
mittee from Barre to fix d time and

to the cost of modern truck. He was
instructed to visit such New England
cities as be saw fit, inspect trucks now

DOMESTIC TROUBLES
TOLD IN COURT.
Winona Z. Taft Is Suing Attorney Rus
sell w. Taft Of Burlington for
Divorce and he Contests
the Suit.

Burlington. April 12.-Ihe divorce PEI
tition brought by Winona i. Taft vs.
Russell M. Taft came up for trial yes
terday afternoon III county court. The
story as told by Mr.. Taft is one Of
domestic difficulties dating back several
years and involves Charles u. Walker,
Mrs. r. S. Taft and X. e. Brown, The
case is being contestd by MIR. Taft.
Mr.. Taft testified that he and Winona
L. Brigham were married In the Metho-
dist church III this city, December l6,
1901, and that they began housekeeping
on Grant street. While Mrs. r. s. TAFT
was living alone, there seemed, to Mr..
Taft, TO be lack Of sympathy between
her and his wife and when he proposed,
because OF his mothers i'll health, that
she come and live with them, his wife
objected, but finally the women agreed
and the change was made, although both
feared that trouble would ensue.
Before Mr.. and Mrs. Taft separated
the witness said his mother refused to
eat any food cooked by his wife. He
supposed this was because his mother
did not like his wife, and not because
she feared she would Be poisoned.
IL
Mr.. Taft and his wife was touched upon
and he said that ever since they bad
been married there had been times when
they would not speak to each other
and that during the last month the
length Of these times continued for near
ly a week, two or three days clapsing
frequently.
Mr.. Taft made reference to the visits
TO his home Of Charles e. Walker, and
this point was gone into in detail. He
said that Mr.. Walker was ferquent
visitor and that be patrolled the street
in front of the Taft home daily. One
evening he and Mrs. Taft were on the
doorstep until ten o'clock and he said
that Mr.. Walker was ait the house an
average of five nights out OF six. On
two occasions he found Mr.. Walker in
the hall, Mr.. Taft said he spoke to
his wife about these visits and remarked
that they might cause comment among
the neigilbors and said she promised
to have the visits cease, but they com
tinued. He made reference to books
loaned by Mr. Walker TO Mrs. Taft and
made particular mention of one on spir.
itualism. On one occasion he said his
wife asked him to boating and said
that Charlie would pay for the boat.
He refused and said that II she wanted
to go boating he would take her.
AT last he told his wife that he could
not stand the visits of Mr.. Walker
any longer, and from that time on for
two weeks things progressed more
smoothly. One evening while he was
away from home his mother went to
the door and finding Mr., Walker there
told him il as time for him to go
and he went.

Naples, April 1c.--The general outlook
continues to improve and the hopes Of
the people are being aroused to believe
that the worst is over. Some ashes
continue to fall in this city, but the
showers Of hot mud and stones have
ceased. The messages Of Professor Mat
teucci, from the VesnYius observatory,
Offering encouragement to the frenzied
inhabitants, had good effect. The
quieting of the volcano also has had a
great deal to do with the restoring Of
better order and relieving the fears Of
the populace. Your correspondent is
just starting on another attempt to
visit the scenes Of the greatest destruc-
tion, as it is believed a passablc route
can now be found The full truth as
to what has happened cannot be made
