Thirty-one High Balls.

Chicago, April l2-Mrs. Beatrice
Price Heinrich, whose husband was
granted a divorce last week, declares
she intends 10 study the occult and may
lecture on the subject. During the sep
sration proceedings Mr.. Heinrich testi-
fed that his wife drank thirty-one high
balls in one night. The occasion was
the thirty-6rst birthday of Mrs. Henrici,
and she had gathered about her gay
party. 'My wife declared early In the
evening"" said Henrici, "tbat she would
drink one highball for each year Of her
life. She did it, aud one BY one counted
the glasses. She had drunk the thir-
tieth, and We are looked at each other
around the table, and wondered if she
could drink the next one. ''She rose
from the table, lifted one foot on chair
on which she had been sitting, and,
raising the last glass to her lips, she
drank the liquor. "You doubted me,
did you?" she laughed; but as she
laughed her limbs stifiened, and, with
scream, she fell to the floor. That
picture is scared 10 my brain for all
time. "My wife was a hopeless drunk

Noted Snowman Dead.

James A. Bailey, the Snowman, pro-
prietor of Barnum & Bailey's circus,
died at his home, the KuOlls, Corcoran
Manor, Mount Vernon, n. Y, yesIer-
day afternoon from erysipelas, agei 60
years.
M. Bailey's real name was James A.
McGinnis, and he was born in Detroit,
Mich. He assumed the name of Bailey
because his first associations were with
well-knOwn Snowman of that name.
Mr.. Bailey leaves widow, who was
Miss Ruth Louisa McCaddon
In 1871 Bailey became general agent
for the circus of H2mming, Cooper x
Whitby, aud a year later became an
equal owner with J. E. Cooper OF the
'Great London Show" which they took
all over the world
BY this time Mr.. Bailey had distanced
all competitors save Barnum, and he felt
strong enough to give battle to this vet
eran Snowman on his own ground. Mr.
Barnum suffered defeat in 1880, and at
his initiative negotiations were begun
which resulted in the combination OF the
two exhibitions into one. To Mr.. Bailey
was very so n given the al most entire
responsibility and management Of the
combined business.
1t is estimated that the fortune left by
the circus proprietor will reach anywhere
from s., 900, 900 TO So, 900, 900.

Miners Conciliatory.

After having the counter arbitration
plan of the anthracite operators under
consideration nearly all OF yesterday,
the general scale committee of the hard
coal miners in New York, completed
the draft Of their reply and will present
il to the committee of mine owners at
the Joint session TO be held there today ,
The striclest secrecy surrounded the
work of the committeeman. IL is be-
lieyed the miners have decided TO &C.
cept the operators offer that the anthIa-
cite strike commission take up the dis
pute, but will ask that the tribunal be
permitted to consider the original de-
mands with certain important mOdiiica-
tiOns.
The concessions said to 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 be made with the anthra-
cite mine workers; that the check-Of be
limited to the wage workers, who agree
TO an assessment TO defray the expenses
incurred in carrying out the miners
part of the agreement instead of all
mine workers, union and nonunion, be-
ing compelled to contribute, and that
the duration OF the agreement be left to
the commission. The miners in their
arbitration plan asked for a two years
agreement and the operators in their
counter proposition wanted one for three
years.
If this proposition is accepted by the
operators, ii would leave the commission
free to take up the demand for an in
crease in wages, an eighr-hour day, uni
form pay for all classes of employ ment
paid by the day or month, reconstruc-
ton of the Cancellation board, and
number of minor grievances. The
operators want to limit the inquiry to
wages and a method for the adjustment
of complaints.

A Surprise.

Two new surprises greeted the public
yesterday in connection with the short
age of the late Treasurer Todd, of Hen
rico county One was that the 80, 900
paid by his executor into the treasury
Saturday in relief of the school fund
does not reduce the shortage, but was
mere transfer OF money in bank from
his private account to that of his ac-
count as treasurer and had already been
accounted for The county, it is said,
will not depend upon his estate at all,
but looks to the bonding company for
the money due.
The second surprise was when toe
grand jury of the Circuit Court filed
into the courtroom and put this hypo-
thetical question to Judge Scott;
'Tf The County Treasurer used lunds
for his personal use and loaned the
money out, but accounted to the proper
officials when called upon, was that
nalfeasence ?"
Judge Scott answered "yes.
The foreman said later that they had
agreed upon a report, but desired to put
it in writing, and, at his request, the
Jury was adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
day.

matter OF fact all the courts are con-
cerned.
By the decision of the court the keep
err of the rolls and the public printer
will be forbidden to incorporate any part
of the bill in acts OF assembly, save that
portion which refers to the Sixteenth
circuit.
As five new courts were also provided
for 10 the bill, it is problem when they

answering the address of Mr.. kainey,

dent of the Waltham Watch Company,

dent of the watch company admitted
that the Waltham Company, in order to
compete with the Swiss watch manu-
tacturers, was compelled to sell abroad
cheaper than at home. Mr.. Williams,
the minority leader, said that Mr..
Tirre's speech was one of the most i'm

session, because it had fearlessly confessed
that the surplus products of factories
were sold abroad at prices less than sold
here. He then asked why they sold the sur

Luther q. FunkhOuser was appointed
postmaster of Roanoke yesterday. The
name of George l.. Hart, which was pre-
viously sent to the Senate by the Presi-

to save this old earth from being blown

TBE ATTITUDE of the miners and
operators now in conference in New
York is, according TO today's dispatches
from that city, not really serious,
and from present indications the
matters in dispute will be settled to the
satisfaction of both the parties to the
controversy. A majority Of the repre-
sentatives of the miners are manlfestlng
a conciliatory spirit which is being met
with like good feeling on the part OF the
operators. The action of both will be
hailed with delight by the peace-loving
portion of the entire country. 1t is the
conviction of many thst labor issues can
be managed with conservatism and COM
mon sense if left to cool-headed and
reasonable people, and the miners rep
resentatves-Or a majority OF them
have shown themselves to be of that
genus. People whose lot it is to labor
in the bowels of the earth perform a
mission which should be appreciated.
They take their lives in their hands in
order TO make living and furnish an
indispensable commodity for man
kind. There may be times when
they have grievances, and they should
on such occasions be given respect
ful hearing, and reasonable conces-
sions made by those who employ
them. The latter, too, are entitled to
considerations which should not he re-
iected If the news from New York be
correct the miners have made sensible
concessions, and there is every reason to
believe the operators will act an honest
part toward their employees.
