pose company of glass men that
were guests at the Tavern over Sum
day. Recently the factories Of II. r.
Johnson, located at Hartford City,
Ind, and Independence, Kansas,
changed hands. These were what is
known as scab plants. Since the re.
cent purchase of the plant these men
have been going from place to place
where glass plants are located trying
to induce glassmen to work with the
men that have gone out from the John.
son plants. Mr.. Cooper held an enthu.
siastic meeting at Clarksburg satur-
day night. Six hundred glass men
turned out to hear him. He and Dan.
lei Winters. president of the Window
Glass Workers Association, ai-
dressed the meeting. The men
talked for three hours and when they
had finished their argument the men
without dissenting vote agreed that
they would work with the men who
formerly worked for j. R. johnson.
Mr.. Cooper received telegram this
morning from President Faulkner OF
the Amalgamated Association con.
graduating him on the success of the
meeting. He also received kilograms
from glass men at Buckhannon.
This afternoon Mr.. Cooper will hold
a meeting at Point Marion. From

The conditions here among the glass
men seem SO favorable that it is
thought that a mass meeting will not
be required to bring about the ends
that are being sought.
Mr.. Van scio is the advance man
who arranges for the meetings. Mr..
Neenen is sick at the Tavern and was
left behind. He is suffering from over
work.

NEW YORK, Jan. >2S.-It is stated
this morning that Mrs. William Thaw
is prepared to go upon the witness
stand and lay bare the innermost Sc.
crets of the Thaw family to save her
son from the electric chair. Her tes.
timony, 1t is said, will be convincing
proof that evidences of insanity have
manifested themselves in Harry on
several occasions for years. The aged
mother and proud head of the Thaw
house will tell family history which ii
is said will bring to light evidences
Of insanity in collateral branch OF
the Thaw family. Thaw's plea will
be temporary insanity"
Miss May Mackenzie. the chorus
girl associate of Mrs. Evelyn Thaw,
was again with the ,Thaw party in
court to-day. 1t Is Indignantly denied
that there was any difference in the
Thaw household concerning her. She
states that Evelyn Thaw is nearing a
state of complete collapse. She Is
under physicians care and attending
court contrary to explicit orders.
Young Mrs. Thaw plainly shows the
strain she is under. Her expression
Is dull and lifeless. The presence of
the Countess of Yarmouth to-day made
the Thaw party again complete. There

tics. The exclusive story published In
this correspondence some time since
that Northcott will likely become Unit,
ed States judge In the event of the
passage OF Mr.. EIkins' bill creating an
additional judgeship is confirmed. II
was ascertained that Senator Ellsins
viii indorse him, and while Senator
Scott has not yet committed himself,
1t is thought he can be persuaded to
add his recommendation. The bill has
not yet been reported out of tine con.
mittee on judiciary, but in view of
the fact that Judge Keller IS unab,e
on account OF illness, to give his full
attention to the business of the court.
the members of the West Virginia
delegation are sanguine its passage
will recommended, and that 1t will
go through both branches of Congress
before March 4.
The prospect of Northcott,s promo.
tion is regarded as so good that lines
have begun to form in the contest for
the place he now occupies. Several
aspirants are already in the field,
among them being State Representa-.
tive billiard, of Mercer county; Pros.
ecuting Attorney Avis, of Kanawha
county, and Assistant United States
Attorney H. D. Rummel. In the opin.

Watch Our Head Swell.

A reader of The Chief who is par
ticularly good judge of newspapers
both from practical experience in the
business and the possession of marked
literary talent, writes as follows con-
corning the disearding of our ready
print pages: "Pray accept my con-
gratulations on the improved appear
ance of The Chief and also upon the
editorial anent the change. He will
be difdcile indeed, and ingenious be-
sides, who will not fully approve the
improvement and appreciate and en-
dorse the editorial. In its present form
The Chief more nearly approaches the
ideal of what country weekly should
be than any other I have ever seen,
and may with greater justice than ever
before and an entire absence of self
praise lay claim to being the best
weekly of it's kind in Louisiana-and
several other states, besides. y Phew!
Maybe that isn't piling it on thick!

We newspaper fellers are coming to
the front in great shape. Two of the
newest United States senators-elect-
Charles Curtis of Kansas and VIM.
Alden Smith of Michigan-were news
boys in their youth, Mr.. Curtis at
Topeka and Mr.. Smith at Detroit.
Incidentally, Mr.. Curtis is one of the
few surviving members of the Kaw
tribe OF Indians and will be the first
Indian to occupy seat in the national
senate. He was in turn q newsboy, q
peanut vendor, horse jockey and q
cab driver before he became a lawyer
and rose successfully to the dignity of
county attorney and member of
congress. He has served in the house
OF representatives fourteen consecutive
years and will begin six.year term
as senator on March 4. Mr.. Smith
has also served in the lower house of
congress q number of years and is
greatly esteemed for his ability and
worth. He will be the only Smith in
the senate, and his departure from the
house will reduce the number of Smiths
in that body from ten to nine.
