" formal. detailing the edings Of
union meeting. The letters devels
oped nothing against the law and or
der as had been mentioned by the
speakers or interviews with members
OF the union. Following Bailey's re-
ports came the report Of an operative
named Rainier In Cripple Creek.
Rainier declared under date Of Sept.

have all the best of 1t, but unless
there was break in the Mine Own
ers' association the operative thought
their claims were doubtful Rainier
reported that he heard no radical talk
or threats from the miners and that
each miner acted as a committee Of
one to stop all disputes and disturb
ances. The soldiers and miners seemed
to be growing quiet and friendly and
many of the soldiers expressed SYM
pathy for the strikers. !.
Mr.. barrow next read two lengthy
reports from Pinkerton Operative j..
N. Londoner, now assistant captain in
the Denver office. The reports were
from Victor, Colo, at the time Of the
independence depot explosion, June 6,
1904. Londoner told graphically of
the intense excitement prevailing In
the Cripple Creek district at this time
and the threats made against the
union.

showed my face" Londoner wrote,
"and was told to kill any union man
or sympathizer who spoke to me"
The operative wrote that at the
Nme' Of his writing there was strong
talk OF taking the leaders of the union
from the "bullpen" and hanging them.
The citizens demanded the resigna-
ton OF Sheriff Robertson. He de-
clined. They got a rope and put a
moose about his neck. He was given
five minutes in which to decide. Rob-
ertson looked at the mob. He then
sat down and wrote his resignation.

New York, June l.-Following the
strike of 500 Italian trackmen on the
New York Central railroad move
ment has been started to organize the
100000 or more Italian railroad en-
ployes all over the United States and
bring about a higher scale of wages.
At the head of this movement is
Michael Sylvester of Chicago, who is
here managing the strike against the
New York Central. = 49,.
Without word to their employers
the 500 trackmen quit their jobs In the
Grand Central yards. The men want a
new wage scale of 20 cents an hour
for a day Of ten hours. They have
been receiving SLIGO a day.
Efforts have been made by the rail-
road officials to obtain Italian strike
breakers to fill the places of the strik-

Strike Leader Sylvester has ad-
dressed many meetings Of the New
York Central employees. He says that
the italian trackmen throughout the
country are ready for organization
and that a national union will soon be
formed, with branches in almost ev-
cry city of prominence in the United
States. - ~ }s... (

TO PROVE HIS INNOCENCE
Court Says Defendant Should Have
Called Certain Witnesses.

Washington, July In refusing
some of the prayers in behalf of for
mer Associate Statistician Holmes OF
the department of agriculture for GER
tain instructions to the Jury in his
trial on the charge of betraying the
secrets of the department Judge Stat
ford took occasion to say that he
would instruct the jury to the effect
that Holmes should have produced
Frederick A. Peckham and Moses
Haas to testify In his behalf. They
were the two persons in all the world
who could testify whether or not the
charge of conspiracy was true. If
the charge was not true and Holmes
statement was founded on fact they
would not imperll their own freedom
in appearing in court and corroborat-
ing Holmes testimony. If, on the
other hand, the charges against him
were true they could protect them
selves by refusing to testify on the
ground of standardization,

drowned, comic imitation of Jean de
 Reszke and a reminiscence of Edwin
 Booth. The ensemble was fine. One little miss not more than eight or nine in the chorus had contralto as deep and rich as Jessie Bartlett
 Davis. and she made it so resonant that the house gurgled with appre- citation. But, when they came to the sextette, Lord, the audience took the roof off, and one of our party said: Well, we'll just quit on that" which was as it should be,
 and we went numbering through the
 darker streetts of Rome, laughing all the way to the hotel, with kind of sobbing laughter that might easily have been affiliated into a cry. The Italians are born actors. The artis-
 tic temperament is natural heredity.
 No company of American or Anglo Saxon children, however taught, could have done that which came so easy to those children in the Corso.
 Most of them will grow up singers
 and players, and, let us hope, famous singers and players. We came away
 amused, touched, edified and re- | freshed.

Play in the Dark.

Because they have no sight and must cultivate their sense of feeling. the blind are peculiarly sensitive of touch. The average piano student can profit by the knowledge and help himself more than he realizes by a few minutes of nightly practice with. out artificial light. Try going to the piano when the lights are low. or not burning at all. Run over the scales in consecutive order. Then play the arpeggios and running chords of the dominant seventh and diminished fifth. Then let yourself go on the pieces you have memorized. You will find yourself unsteady awakened, for you can hear better when you are not distracted by what you see. and your touch will become more firm and sure and your dependence on printed notes will gradually grow less.

THE LIKENESS ON THE cENTs.
An Exception to tho Rule Against
 Portralts on American Coins.

Coins of most of the nations bear upon them the faces of their rulers. In the United States each coin has an emblem Of Liberty. The first coins struck after the formation of the fed eral union bore the face of George Washington. Gen. Washington dis approved of the custom and 1t was dropped. It has never been revived. Portraits of prominent Americans ap- pear upon postage stamps, internal revenue. stamps and paper money, but never on coins. And 1t has been the custom to use no portraits of liv- ing men even on the currency and the stamps. But there Is an excep- tion to the rule of no portraits on American coins. The emblem of Lib- erty on the one cent is the goddess in an American Indian headdress, but the face shows no characteristics of the North American aborigine. It is the face of a little girl, Sarah Long acre Keen, upon whose head was placed the feathered ornament of . Sioux Indian. Her father was an en. graver and he placed his daughters head on the coin. Sarah Longacre Keen died in Philadelphia not long ago, after having served 35 years as the secretary of her city's branch of the Methodist Women's Foreign Nis. sionary society.

Heroism of a Nurse.

Of all the tests of heroism to which humanity is subjected none is perhaps more awful than an earthquake. It is from disasters such as the terrible earthquake in Jamaica that real cour. age emerges. One of the bravest workers during the time of the Kings. ton earthquake was Nurse Sarah Cross, who for nearly 40 hours con. secutively gave surgical aid to the in. jured on board the R. M s. Port Kingston, under the direction of Dr. Arthur J. Evans. Middlesex hospital, with which Nurse Cross has been con. nected for 16 years, was the scene the other day of little ceremony in her honor, when the weekly board of governors presented her with an H. luminated address setting forth the record of her services to 200 unfor. tunate sufferers in the West Indian catastrophe.

SHE NEEDED ANOTHER HAND.
They Enjoyed the Show immensely, but Failed to Applaud.

In the parquet at the Orpheum last night sat a young man and his best girl. People behind them noticed that the young couple seemed to enjoy the show immensely, but neither would applaud, says the Denver Post. They would look at each other and smile and say "Fine!" Isn't that great!" and other such things, but they would not applaud. Everybody else near by was applauding, and that started the people behind the young couple to wondering why they did not clap their hands and show their appreciation substantially Finally James H. Cullen came on the stage and began his singing stunt. His first two songs made great hits. but still the young couple did not applaud. His third song was even better than the other two, and it was then that the mystery as to why the young people did not applaud was explained to those behind them. When Cullen finished the song the girl turned to her escort. "John," she said, loud enough for these behind to hear, you'll have to let go my hand min. ute. I've just got to applaud this man."

GentIeness.

The power of gentleness is one of the unmeasured forces in human life. "A soft answer will pierce deeper than 'two-edged sword" It is more natural under provocation to use the latter; but the use of the former is in imitation of Him who when He was reviled. reviled not again" Gen tleness gives man power with his fellow-men. It increases the love of his friends. and disarms the anger of his enemies. He who would serve his generation we'll must possess it. It is to be learned in the school of Christ. who is our pattern in this as in every grace. Thy gentleness hath made me great"-Rey. J. H. Miller.
