COAL MINERS MAY STRIKE.
Conference at an End and No Agree
ment Reached.

Indianapolis.-One of the most dra-
matte scenes ever witnessed In a ma
tional convention of the United Mine
workers of America was the final ad-
journment of that body last week at
ter the dissolution OF the joint con-
ference Of operators and miners of the
central and southwestern districts and
al .er the na.lonal convention had ad-
ministered a singing rebuke to Pat
rick Dolan of Pennsylvania for trans
crossing one of the fundamental laws
OF unionism, in voting contrary to his
instructions to stand for an increase
of wages.
Secretary w. b. Wilson is
especially determined that the funds
shall be at least $2,500,0o0 and the
other national officers and a majority
of the board members are of the opin-
ion that this sum will not be founa
too large.
According to figures at the head
quarters of the workers, a general
strike April l would bring out of the
mines 100000 men if the nonunion
miners of West Virginia, numbering
100000, could be induced to strike with
the union men Of the other districts.

HER WEDDING GIFTS
MISS ALICE ROOSEVELT'S TO Be
OF The GREATEST.
Estimates Place the Number at 1000
Agsresatlne 100000 in Value
Will Come From All Over the World
MANY Disappointed by Not Receiv-
ing Wedding Cards.

Washington special says: Miss
Alice Roosevelt will probably receive
a greater number and more varied Sc
lection of wedding presents than any
other bride in the history of this coun-
try If not of the world. Estimates
place the number of presents at 1000,
aggregating $1,000,000 in value.
Many of the gifts are those to be by
various cities of this country and gifts
Of foreign countries are already
known, but there is no one who will
venture guess as to the number of
barrels of potatoes, tunips, pumpkins
and other eatables that will ultimate
ly be contributed to the brides lar
der. Even at this early date a clerk
is being kept busy receipting for con-
signments of vegetables and fruit.
Many packages come from as far west
as California and as far south as Flor
ida. Innumerable cases of choice wine
have been received from vineyards
from the north and from California
and these merely give an inkling of
what are to come.
: The articles are being piled up in a
room set aside for the purpose. The
room is already nearly filled and what

Heartaches in Washington.

Washington.-The number of heart
aches and disappointments because of
the nonarrival of the coveted envelope
from the White House bearing an in
vitation to the greatest wedding ever
known within its walls will probably
never be known. An exodus to Flor
ida will begin next week for Wash
ington hostesses who can not bear the
chagrin of owning they are overlook
ed in such matters, have a fashion of
suddenly departing either for Bermuda
or Florida. They have been even
known to go all the way to Europe on
account of some ones illness Just in
order to avoid being found out.
The original number of invitations
to be struck off for the wedding of
Miss Roosevelt and Congressman
Longworth was 1900. The number has
grown in small additions to 400, THIS
number including, of course, invita-
lions which have gone around the
world. Only about 1000 of these invi-
tations were sent to persons in Wash
ington.
A movement has been started in
Boston by national officers of the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance union to
obtain Miss Alice Roosevelt's cooper
alton towards barring wine from her
wedding breakfast.
