0HOWS PHEASANT 0IQSs
But there is another Rogers-the
charming, delightful, humorous, fascin-
ating man of whom the world never
had a glimpse until he exhibited him
self in an unguarded moment during
the legal proceedings last week. He
was called as a witness, but was fore
ed to wait in an ante-room At first
he scowled and walked to and fro rest
lessly.
The waiting, the uncomfortable
quarters and the echoes of the per-
sistent probing going on in the other
room changed him into a man of hui
NOR and humanity. The reporters
ventured around him and asked com
monplace questions The ice Of his
nature cracked a little, but did not
break. Then some one spoke Of Mark
Twain. Instantly all the GOODNESS, the
hardness, the reserve melted away and
the hitherto unknown side Of Mr..
Rogers nature came into open view
He told the reporters a story about
Mark Twain going to church. The
pastor boosted about getting Twain as
a recruit, and said he had lost only
seventeen members from his congrega-
ton. The Standard Oil man continu-
ed: did you ever hear the story
about
Then he hesitated, and, looking over
the group for a moment, continued:
Il don't know whether / dare tell
stories i'll this crowd 1t would be like
the sailor who took out plug of to-
bacco on South street."
"How is it, Mr.. Rogers?" queried
one Of the newspaper men, "that you
have kept yourself locked up all these
years in the Standard Oil building and
never let us get at you to hear these
good stories?"
Says He Is Modest.
You see, was born in the country
and am little modest" replied the
financier ITO tell the truth, I was
afraid Of you"
The suggestion that Rogers, the man
of cold blood and daring, who defes
courts and millionaires alike, was
afraid Of reporters was such a delic-
ious little joke that he laughed at it
himself. -
I'VE have agreed.",d flickaSs- report
ers, that II you vegtchea |, a buysswith

newspapers an Was W.,
of u.s."
That's very kind" was the re-
Spouse. 9TH accept the offer. but what
could do on newspaper
Edit the funny column" they re-
piled unanimously.
Mr.. Rogers bowed assent In mock
humor and agreed to turn joke editor
ii he should be so fortunate as to lose
his present position. Then the real
Rogers, no longer rinancier, but hum
orist and democratic companion Of his
newly found acquaintances, led the
chatting and the bantering Of wit.
The reporters told him the latest
STORES, and as the delay grew longer
he suggested that in the future there
should be a deck Of cards for quiet
little game of penny ante.
But if what hear is true, I don't
know about playing poker with a
Standard Oil man. remarked one re-
porter.
ooh, that's all nonsense" replied Mr.
Rogers. 1--WE are not half so bad as
some would make you think. We are
always willing to do a good turn. ]
even am willing to help the attorney
general of Missouri out if I could only
answer his questions to suit him.

patient into New York in anything but

The train pulled into the Jersey City
station of the Pennsylvania Road at
$3.50 o'clock and Mr.. Field, who had
insisted on dressing and not being
treated as an invalid, was helped into a
carriage, which was driven on board
the first ferry. With his wife and ply
sician the merchant was taken to the
Holland house, where suite of rooms
had been engaged.
DR.. Walter B. James was placed in
charge of the case, and he ordered
Mr.. Field to bed. Professional nurses
were h1rriedly called and without loss
of time Mr.. Field was given the most
attentive care. His paleness and ap-
parent feebleness as he entered the ho-
tel caused extravaganza reports of his
illness to be spread. These were print
ed in a few newspapers, but were later
denied.

The members of the Shamokin an
thracite combine, who came to Indian
apolis Saturday afternoon and night
upon a special call from President
Michell's Office but it was admitted
that there was concerted meeting. 1t
is believed the committee is here with
a view to planning coup by which
the anthracite operators who have
thus far refused to confer with the
mine workers as an organization may
be forced to meet the committee in a
joint conference similar to that held
by the miners and operators Of the BIZ
luminous fields
President Mitchell refuses to make
any statement as to what reply if any,
has been made by the anthracite oper-
ators to the communication of the
committee at the close of the Shame
kin convention 1t has been surmis-
ed that the operators have signified
their willingness to treat with their
men as individuals and possibly to
agree to the eight hour day in indi-
vidual contracts. What means may
be adopted by the mine workers to
enforce any plans the committee may
formulate are necessarily speculative
at present, in view of the reticence
of the delegates But that they are
, amply able to make a great struggle
fs-readily seen from the fact that the
mine workers treasury now contains
more than S2,000,000 and that the or
ganization is more than 100000 mem
bers strong.

IAwSON'S WITHDRAWAL
From Insurance Committee Will Come
When Plans Are Perfected.

New York, Feb. little Evening
Post says that Thomas w. Lawson has
withdrawn from the life insurance
policyholders committee for which he
has collected proxies to the number of
$4,000 and that definite efforts We're
made today to get Stuyvesant Fish
to head the committee. This commit
tee contains among its members several
governors of states and other impor-
tant men Of affairs, especially Western
men. Mr.. Fish. the Evening Post says
gave no intimation of his decision in
the matter. Mr.. Fish has been very
active in the investigation of the af-
fairs of the Mutual Life Insurance Co.
1t was learned from an authoritative
source today that Stuyvesant Fish has
not been asked to head the so-called
Lawson committee of policyholders in
the Mutual Life Insurance Co. and
that any tenders or overtures looking
to that end would doubtless be reject
ed by him.
