Trouble Will Blow Over.

Mr. Clark asserted that the two mines
would be working full handed tomorrow
or next day. The whole matter was re-
ferred to an examining board. which spent
the day QuiZZing both blacks and whites
as to warlike preparations. if any, down
in the shafts. Some of the white men
insisted that before they would return
to work every negro must be searched
at the mouth of the pit before descend
ing.
IL is claimed that the trouble exists
in the Tuxhorn and Woodside mines alone.
There are approximately forty coal mines
within radius of ten miles of Spring
field. They employ all together some 5000
men. about 10 per cent of whom are ne
groes.
Meeting of Citizens.
Following Governor Deneen's proclama-

zens to aid in restoring order and pro-
noting justice. an enthusiastic meeting
of business men was held at the Cham

into a fiery address. in the course Of
which he said:

WHEN ASSESSOR COMES AROUND
(Chicago Record-Heraldl


Chicago RecOrd-Herald)
Smith wife wears costly clothes: her
daughters dress in style:
She hints that recently her husband made
a pile;
She talks of yachts and trips across the
briny deep,
And proudly chats about the servants that
they keep;
But Notwithstanding this it's likely TO be
found
That they have little when the assessor
comes around.
The Browns are trying hard to loom
above the Grays,
Whose boasts would indicate that they
have had a raise;
The Greens have bought car, the ALI
sons pretend
They've made a fortune through a story
that he penned;
But they viii cease TO live where luXuTies
abound
And all be paupers when the assessor
comes around.
We try to let the world believe that we
are blessed.
Each likes to think that he is envied by
the rest:
Our wives pretend that we earn much
more than we do.
fib sometimes about my wages, so do
you;
But once a year we all round up on com
mon ground .
We cease our Boosting when the assessor
comes around.

Chelsea Pete had been wise in select

was no chance of being caught.
The house detective was still on the
job, and broke angrily into the room.

At the end of just four and a half
minutes after entering the room Chel-
sea Pete left with General LOgan's
check for $500 I'm his hand
Cash that for me-" he said airilv to
the man at the desk, while the house
detective ate the ends off his fingers in
sheer rage.
Chelsea Pete operated all over the
country, but eventually drifted into
burglary and bank work. He tied up
with a band of reckless "petermen. -
and was known as one of the most
daring safe blowers in the country. He
was caught somewhere upstate turn
ing trick in a bank and was sent
away

thought of having come back to a New

SO radically.

days. Nothing but inside jobs go there.
The con game isn't what il was, either
You'll have TO get an office and 500
worth of mahogany furniture on the

But Chelsea Pete hasn't quite decid-

friends from all over the country in
New York these days, however. and
there's no reason why he shouldn't be
tipped wise to the best lines Of work.

Chelsea Pete is back.
Unfortunately, Chelsea Pete reached
New York too late to take part in the
farewell ceremonies in the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel In the Olden days the Fifth
Avenue hotel was Chelsea Pete's favor
tie hunting ground.
Chelsea Pete was sent way in 1886
For twenty-five years Chelsea Pete
made mats and brushes in Sing Sing,
and yesterday he came back TO New
York TO look the game over and figure
out what there was he could do in
these stirring days of automobiles and
skyscrapers
They've sure lifted this old town up
into the air. remarked Chelsea Pete,
as he glanced at the Flatiron building
the other day.
1t was in the Fifth Avenue hotel
back in 1879. that Chelsea Pete conned
General John A. Logan out of $500. 1t
was clean work however, and there
was never any comeback. Later he got
mixed up with a bunch of burglars
tools and was laid away for quite a
long stretch.
In his day Chelsea Pete was one of
the best known con men" i'm this cOun-
try. He took his title from that sec
ton of Boston from which he came
originally, and from Portland, Me-, 10
Los Angeles the smaller fry in the un
derworld looked up to Chelsea Pete as
one to be highly regarded as a clean
cut professional.
He was always swell dresser" was
Chelsea Pete. The top hat and frock
coat, with coy little boutonniere nest
ling i'm his lapel. formed Chelsea Pete's
working costume. He was a good talk
er also, and all he ever asked, accord
ing to those who knew him in those
days, was a conversational chance at
his victim.
The way i'm which he got a check out
of General John A. Logan in four min
utes and a half is still talked of by the
men in Chelsea Pete's set as a record
bit of work.
Chelsea Pete learned that the gen.
eral was in town, and he spent all OF
one forenoon in the Lenox library read
ing up on General Logan. the civil war
and the friendships of the idol of the
Union army.
In the afternoon he walked jauntily
into the lobby Of the Fifth Avenue no.
tel and gave the house detective the
naughty eye.

ct. He showed me his ad in the Sun
day personal column, and ii was all to
the velvet. AccOrdin' to his own speci-
1 ficatiOns. he was a head-liner in the
East Indian philosophy business, what
ever that was. He'd just torn himself
away from the crowned heads of Eu-
rope for an American tour, and he
stood ready to ladle out advice to
statesmen, tinker up broken hearts,
forecast the future, and map out the
road to Wellville for millionaires on
their feed.
He sure had full bag of tricks to
draw from: but I've noticed that the
more glass balls you try to keep in the
air at once. the surer you are apt to
queer the act. And Pinphoodle didn't
look like a gent that kept the receivin'
teller Workin' overtime. There was
something about him. though, that was
kind of dignified. He was the style of
chap that would blow his last dime on
havin his collar n cuffs polished, and
would go without eatin' rather than
frisk the free lunch at a beer joint. He
was Willin' to talk about anything but
the female with the keen-cutter tongue.
"She is a mistaken, misguided per-
son." says he. And by the way, Pro-
fessOr McCabe, there is fire escape,
believe, which leads from my Office

So we fixed it up that way. and about

ried look on his face and iron rust on
his trousers. He was a quiet neighbor,

ON Tuesday. March "a, in ST. Ag

Very Rev. y. NJ. ODonoughuc, G.. M
one of the most widely known Vim
centian priests in the United States,
