MINERS PREPARE
FOR A BIC STRIKE
OPERATORS REFUSE TO YIELD TO
THEIR DEMANDS FOR IN
CREASED WAGES.
Mine Workers Convention in Called
Session Decides to Hold Out for
Agreement Which Will Affect All
Districts.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 3.-One of
the most dramatic scenes ever wit.
messed in a national convention of the
United Mine Workers Of America was
the final adjournment of that body
Friday afternoon after the dissolution
of the joint conference Of operators
and miners Of the central and south
western districts, because of inability
to reach an agreement on the wage
scale. When the lusty voices of the
miners mingled in the singing of
America had hushed, an oppressive
silence fell upon the assembled dele
gates, and as President John Mitchell
slowly pronounced the words which
adjourned the seventeenth cnnual
convention without day, thus dissolv-
ing every possible hope of avertins a
gigantic industrial war without le
intervention of some unexpected and
powerful influence. the miners
marched out of the hall. their faces
set with a grim determination which
showed the steadfastness Of purpose
which has marked the history making
session Just closed
Strike Almost Certain.
The apparent determination of
both operators and miners indicates
that neither will make oyertures to
the other for further negotiations, and
as indicated by the speeches of both
the radicals and conservatives of both
organizations on the floor of the Joint
conference, unless some influence
which is not now foreseen, steps into
the breach, $4,000 men controlled by
the United Mine Workers will walk
out of the mines in every section of
the country on April /. There have
been intimations that two agencies
the president Of the United States and
the National Civic Federation-nay
be appealed to to set in motion ne
gotiations looking to rehabilitation
OF the joint state agreement, or at
least discussion of some possible
means of bringing the operators and
miners together for further negotia-
| tions. So far as known, however,
| there is nothing upon which to base
| an assertion that either the president
or the Civic Federation have decided
| to offer their services.

The Conlino Rattle

According to the figures given out
by the national officers of the miners
organization, they expect the strike to
bring out over 100000 men-about
100000 nonunion miners in West Vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania with the 45O,-
600 union miners. OF this number
about 100000 will be out in the an
thracite districts, $4,000 in the Penn
sylvana bituminous districts, SO 900
in Ohio. 1900 in Indiana, 10000 in
Illinois. 10000 in Iowa, 10000 in West
Virginia, 5000 in Michigan and ap-
proSimately 10000 in Kansas. Mis-
souri,, Texas Indian Territory and
Arkansas The state enumerated will
be the scene of the greatest part of the
battle.
President Mitchell estimated that
four people are dependent on every
miner. On this estimate national
strike such as is planned will affect
over. 100000 people dependent on the
mining industry for their daily bread

A irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children it ruins a child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a firebrand
upon the nerves consequently nine
tenths of the prostration, ner-
vous dependency, the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something ike ? ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound f;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing-down
pains; dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If so, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous p~rostration,
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton Shan Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegc-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify TO this fact.

Where Reform is Necessary.

IF ] told you said a philologist,
'that a word like white meant not only
white, but black as well-that it had
two meanings. one the opposite OF the
other-you'd hardly believe me. Yet
we have in English many such words.
"Cleave means to stick together. 1t
also means to cut apart.
LET, means to permit. 1t also means
to hinder. Let me do it, we say, i'd
ing, 1 did it without let or hindrance.'
Fast means motionless. The horse
was tied fast 1t also means swift
moving. THE horse ran fast
Master means a little boy-MasteT
Willie Bell and it also means a strong
and resolute leader-He was the I'M
questioned master of that unruly
band"

For Little Folks.

Correct stationery for children is so fam
cful and varied this fall that anything
from yellow notified envelopes an inch
and half square to dainty oblong ones
that contain fine white sheets of paper
with quaint Louis XVI sketch of court
children dressed in bright coiors, will be
good form for a small boy girl.
Some of the newest styles of correspond
ence and note paper for young folks shown
in the shops are in checks or stripes with
vividly contrasting borders that give dolly
effects. One OF the most attractive OF
these designs is in yellow two-toned linen
paper that is edged with a light green tor
der. Another pretty kind. that many little
girls and boys admire, is of pink and white
square checks that resemble checker
board A solid pink border about one
sixteenth of inch in width makes an
appropriate finish to the sheet and enve-
lopes too.
Green and blue stripes and checks with
borders Of the predominating colOrs Il
also be used this season Then there are
the notified yellow and white, blue and
white, end pink with white varieties. that
are attractive as the checks. etc.
ALI of these novelty papers are good form

COLONIAL MISMANAGEMENT.
General Feeling of Uneasiness in
Many Quarters.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN, October 10.-The continued rev.
Citations of Herr Erzberger on colonial mis-
management, and his statement that he has
yet to play his trump card, have created a
general feeling Of uneasiness, and in many
quarters-ef profund dissatisfaction with
the entire colonial pol cy Of the government.
The announcement that when the reich
stag meets in November a further credit
Of $25 .OOO, 900 will be asked for to cover
the cost Of military operations in German
Southwest and Eastern Africa, does not
tend to improve the feeling caused by Herr
Erzberger's revelations.
1t is calculated that within the past
twenty years-that is to say. since Ger
many first possessed colonies, 5000, COO 900
have been paid by the empire to dafray
colonial expenses. Against this sum ex-
ports to the colonies occupy a most insig-
nificant place. For the same period they
amount to only $50 100000. The most hope

has already swallowed $50 900 goo. while the
exports to Kiao-Chau in 1905 were only

colonies will cost the empire $33OoO.OoO

GIBSON GIRL" BEAUTY.
Abroad to "An Emaciated
Kangaroo"
Special Cablegram to The Star.

opeCidl SdDleSIaiH ~ NE
LONDON, October 1O-No sooner has Mr..
Dana Gibson turned his back Paris than
European newspapers commenced to cast
doubts on the hitherto unquestioned beauty
of the Gibson Girl"
One scribe actually lkened the figure and
carriage of the Gibson Girl to what he
scornfully terms IAN emacated ka,- CARGO"
After all the popularity that the Gibson
Girl has enjoyed this denunciation comes
as a shock. When. therefore. It deli
catey as possible suggested to Miss Clifford
that the Gibson Girl" in general-not Miss
Clifford, of course-was inclined to be kan
garooish" In her characteristics. the fiancee
Of the Hon. Lyndhurst Bruce was startled.
Unfortunately. too, it has to be confessed
that to some extent Miss Clifford hedged.
Il am not a Gibson Girl " she said. Il
never was a Gibson Girl. Why people call
me Gibson Girl l cannot imagine There
are plenty of Gibson Girls but l am not
one of them
Then you have been libeled. Miss Cliff
ford"
NO. it is not 1 who have been libeled; it
is the real Gibson Girl"
But they really like kangaroos?"
was the next question.
II am sure l don't know" answered Miss
Clifford, a little doubtfully. Il really could
not say. I've never seen a kangaroo All l
know is that think the Gibson Girls vurry,
vurry pretty. So please don't associate me
with Gibson Girls " And Miss Clifford
rang off.
Mr.. Eustace Miles, the exponent Of ply
steal culture. said in interview:
Il think the Gibson Girl. not only UNI
typical of the American female. but also
far from the ideal of womanhood.
In the first place. she has an unpleasant
expression, as if she were far superior to
the people around her Such expression
may not be Intentionally naughty; it may
be the result of dyspepsia. The American
woman is not-and does not look-haughty.
So far as externals are concerned, she is
pleasant and facile.
In the second place she has an exag-
geratad and almost grotesque carriage. AL
though it is common fault of women to
obtrude the elbows and abdomen forward,
and not to hollow the back sufficiently, the
Gibson Girl goes to the other extreme She
appears unnatural.
THE average American girl of the age of
the Gibson Girl is, l think. not only more
agreeable in expression. but also less exag-
seratedly stately in pose. She has larger
hipS and larger ankles

Fashions in Wrinkles.

We cannot always charge it to old age
when We find our foreheads are crossed
with distressing network of tiny lines. 1t
Is not always age that makes those DIS
agreeable rows across our foreheads and
around The eyes. There are some grand
mothers whose faces have hardly wrinkle.
and some granddaughters whose brows are
as scanned they might be at sixty
Time is not responsible for these vexing
little lines. A good many Of them may be
charged UP against worry. If one gets in
the way Of fretting over everything that
has gone wrong and everything one thinks
likely to go wrong, the record upon one
face will be a mark which is hard to erase
and is far uglier than the lines the happy
years bring.
