This %convivial party made merry and
tried to forget that most Of them had
'been mighty teary," as Marsh said,
an hour earlier, while Mr.. Chenoweth
sat with his hand on his sons shoulder,
unconsciously most of the time, apollo

she danced, but that she waltzed. To
the lot Of Tappingham Marsh (whom
she pronounced the most wheeling
ivagabond, next to Crailey Gray, of her
acquaintance it fell to persuade her;
and, after walking a quadrille with the
elder Chenoweth, she waltzed with
Tappingham. More extraordinary to
relate, she danced down both her part
ner and the music. Thereupon did Mr..
Bareaud, stung with envy, dare emu

Miss Trixie C~henoweth, performing
~tmarvelously well for many delectable
turns before he unfortunately fell
down. 1t was a night when a sculp-

might have marked the time that or.

But, however affairs ran with him
so far as hope was concerned, he sell

him presently. a notion that put the
frown to rout and brought the old
smile to his lips, his smile of the world

the paper lightly from him, and 1t sped
across the DON like a big bird in awk-

He finished his toilet with particular

made up his mind not to take q drink

The three words kept ringing through
his head like a minor phrase from a
song. Tomorrow at moo they would
be churning down the river, and this
was the last day-the last day!

RATE REVISION EXPECTED.
State. Railroad Commission Indicate
Such a Decision.

Louisville, April 1.-THE investi.
cation of the freight rates charged by
the railroads operating in the state
was resumed before the Kentucky
Railroad Commission at the Seelbach
Friday. The commission will ad-
journ to Frankfort today, where the
hearing will probably be continued
for ten days or two weeks.
1t appears now as If the investiga-
ton would end in general reorgan-
izatlon of the freight rates through
out the entire state. The commission
has probed deeply into the rates now
charged by the railroads. and 1t is
believed that sufficient evidence has
been secured to warrant such steps
ON the part of the commission.
Chairman Charles c. McChord, OF
the Kentucky Railroad Commission,
said to a reporter today:
1--WE have more than 1000 pages
of testimony, and much of it relates
to what the commission may decide to
be excessive rates. After the testi-
mony is all in the body will digest it,
and the results of our three months
of arduous labor will be announced
in an opinion by the commission"

Iowans Sign Up.

Des Moines, Ia, April 14.-As far
as the question of prices for labor Is
concerned the scale to govern the
mining of coal in Iowa for the next
two years was completed today. Only
the formality of figuring out ad-
vances for second. third and fourth
sub-districts remains before the ques-
ton of resolutions is taken up. All
advances were agreed to, the miners
practically winning out. Figuring
of percentages for other districts will
be completed Monday and other ques-
lions will be taken up Tuesday.
There is little reason to doubt, now
but the scale will be signed Wednes-
day and that all the miners will re-
sumo work May 1.

Hope for Peace in Anthracite
Mines About Gone.
Operators Make Flat Refusal to All
Propositions From the Mine
Workers.
WILL MAKE NO CONCESSIONS

Philadelphia. April 14.-There is
but little hope for Industrial peace in
the anthracite region among the men
most interested. All seem CONVINCED
that nothing short OF an unexpected
Intervention of some sort can pre-
vent a strike. 1t is regarded as set
tied, according to the general belief
in the region, that the operators have
gone as far as they will go.
The following message came to
Scranton from New York yesterday
from an important official i'm one of
the largest coal companies to the To-
cal Office there: There will be no
more concessions. There will not be
one jot conceded by the operators.
That is definite: that is settled.
There will be no more counter propo-
sitions. Just simple refusal to
the miners latest PROPOSE
tion.'

WANT TOWN RAzBD
MINERS SAY THE PLACE is DIS
GRACED BY SLAVERY.
Paint Houses Yellow SO They Can't
BE Photographed and Shown
to World.

Springfield, H., April 1.-THE
town of Greenridge. Macoupin coun-
ty, H., must be destroyed II the I'LL
nois Operators Association ever de-
sires to secure another agreement
with the miners.
This sensational demand leaks out
today, and 1t is now known that for
several weeks the miners have had 1t
under consideration.
Greenridge lis the most remarka-
BILE town in the state. The miners
declare it is disgrace to the COM
monwealth. The town is owned by
the O'Gara Coal company of Chicago,
of which William Lorimer is said to
be stakeholder. The company owns
the mine in the town. All the male
inhabitants depend upon the mine
for a livelihood. A company store
furnishes the necessities of life for
the miners.
1t is the conditions surrounding
the town to which the miners object.
There are forty-eight houses west of
the Illinois Traction company's
tracks. The houses stand in six rows
of eight each. They are about twenty
by twenty-four feet in size, and have
three rooms each. The garrets can
only be used for pigeon roosts. The
houses set in, what appears to be a
twenty-acre cornfield. Not a path OF
any kind appears between the houses
and the mud, especially after a rain,
is boot-top deep. The company
charges 81 per month rent.
The miners are mostly Russians.
The houses are painted yellow. This
was done. the miners say. to prevent
a photograph of the town being taken
Lorimer learned this trick when he
had the valuable Photographic con-
cession at the st. Louis Worlds Fair.
Now that the mines are closed the
miners can find no other employ
ment. The only person outside OF
the miners and company's store
clerks is the postmistress. The
miners declare that black slaves were
never forced to live under such con-
ditions.
The O'Gara Coal company Is capt.
tahzed at $4,000 600. Thos. o'Gara
has publicly announced that he con-
trolls the company.

The bank clearings this week show
a big increase over the same week
last year. Tobacco has been moving
very freely which is accountable for
some of the increase in clearings.
Tobacco has been bringing fair
ly good price this week. and has been
coming in quite freely. The price ay-
eraged about 6 Is cents round.
Business with the wholesalers has
been very good the past week. The
dry goods people have been receiv-
ing nice fiji in orders, but heavy
stuffs have been moving slowly.
Easter trade with the retailers has
been the best yet enjoyed by the To-
cal trade. All lines of business have
been active, and the season, so far.
Is very satisfactory.

TAKE DOWN FENCES
JUDGE LIGHTFOOT REMOVES
ONE AT COURT HOUSE SOON.
General Movement to DO So All
Over the City Is Under
Way.

The town COW has only one week
more to roam the streets at pleasure,
the mayor announced that the stock
law will be enforced after April 22,
which is a week from toEbrrow. The
council has announced its intention
of employing special officer. who
will be mounted, and whose only du-
ties will be the enforcement of the
stock law. This officer will probably
be elected at the council meeting
Monday night, and will assume his
duties Monday the 23rd.
With the enforcement of the
stock law, the residents will start a
general movement to take down the
fences, plant grass, and sod the dirt
plot alongside the improved pave
ments and plant shade trees along
the improved streets. 1t has been
suggested that general movement
to tear down the fences and beautify
the lawns and streets be started on
dav to be fixed by the mayor and the
suggestion is a good one.
The county, through Judge Light
foot, will tear down the fence around
the court house yard. and improve it
at once. and the library board has
planned to plant good many more
n
flowers in the Carnegie library yard
and plase a fountain in the center.
All the new houses being erected
from now on will have no fences.and
many old ones are already being torn
down. AS soon as 1t is seen that the
stock law will be rigidly enforced
though, a great many more VIII
come down.
