COMMENCEMENT.

1t would appear little premature to discuss
this subject, but when you consider
that some of the schools will be CLOSING
the latter part of May, the girls who are
fortunate enough to be in the gradual
ing class, and even those who are not,
will soon be looking around for the
material to make their suits for that
very important occasion. :: :: -:

Hard Lot of Female Workers About
English Coal Mines.

pit brow women are among the
most remarkable women workers in
the world. They work as hard as
men and dress almost like them.
Five thousand of these. women find
employment in Lancashire, England,
in the coal mines. Their work lies
on the pit brow at the surface and
not down below. once women were
employed in the coal seams, but in
1912, in the faceof great opposition
from colliery owners, an act was
passed prohibiting women and chill
dren from being employed below the
surface in coal mines.
At present the duties of the pit
brow women consist in dealing with
the coal as Il comes up the shaft to
the pit head. When the cargo reaches
the top they haul out the wagons,
which contain several hundredweight
of coal each, and run them on the
rails to a sort of tipping machine,
which shoots the coal down below
10 the screen of the riddiing machine.
Among the other duties of the wom-
en- is the leveling of the coal on the
wagons which receive 1t as it drops
from the screen.
They start work at 6 o'clock in
the morning and finish at 4 in the
afternoon. They receive 2 shllings
or less a day. and men that do the
same work get shillings. Their
costume consists of trousers and
clogs and often enough a cape which
has at one time been worn by a
brother. When going to and from
work the gins and women wear pet
tIcoats, which they rool up around
the waist while engaged on the pit
brow The hair is closely covered
with a handkerchief, on top of which
Is n soft bonnet.

case there was an assortment of old clothes.
 The return to Ensenada was made without delay, Walker being kept se- eurely bound and guarded, Hoffman on one side and a rurale on the other. He continually was on the lookout to escape or in hope of seeing his friend Frank. He pleaded often to have a few drops of the contents of the vial put in his coffee, saying that it was medicine for his ailment. He con- tinued to claim that his name was Morrison, and that he had arrived from Goldfield seven months before. He was jailed at Ensenada on the l7th. He said he would not agree to return until he had seen the extradi- tion papers.
 Another letter from Julius H. Pease. who was sent by the bank to Ensena- da to look after securities, has been received by Treasurer Stanley. In this he says that Walker apparently does not intend to return without a fight, and will not assist in recovery of those securities.
 Detective Hoffman's letter gives an insight into the changed habits of Walker. He was a Baptist official and was not known to use either to- bacco or liquor.

DIDN'T FOOL CONDUCTOR.
Attempt to Work old Army Game
 Did Not Succeed.

Bridgeport, Jan. 6-Harry Weinberg, travelling salesman whose home is said to be in New York attempted to work the old army game in beating his way from New Haven to New York Saturday afternoon. but his scheme failed. He boarded a train at New Haven and according to the conductor in charge flashed pass on the New York Central railroad that had expired January 1, instead of offering ticket or other payment for his fare. The pass in size and color somewhat resembles the pass used by employees of the New Haven road but after a second glance at it the conductor passed Weinberg by and when the train reached this city he handed him over to Officer Will Hams at the depot Weinberg posted a bond of s35 for his freedom and the bond was called this morning as he did not put in an appearance.

WALKERS CAPTURE Letter from Detective to Bank Tells How it Was Ac-
 complished. REPEATEDLY TRIED SUICIDE Report from Pease Declares Absconder Will Not Assist in Recovery
 of Securities.

New Britain, Jan. GA letter re- ceived here to-day from Detective Hoffman gives the particulars of the capture of William F. Walker, the defaulting treasurer of the Savings Bank of New Britain, and, while no additional light is shed upon the To- cation of the banks securities, the in- terest lies in the method used to cap- ture the man.
 Detective Hoffman and party, con- sisting of three Mexican rurales in a wagon drawn by six horses, left San Jacinto on December IA for St. Elmo, at which place the directions were obtained to the camp at which Walk CT was supposed to be in hiding. The trip of 100 miles was made in day. Walker was not at San Rafele. where this camp was located. but the party went to another camp in which they felt certain they would find Walker, as there was water in nearby can- yon and none elsewhere for twenty five miles
 On the 18th the party were within mile of the camp. Detective Hoff- man. and one rurale went into camp and surprised Walker, who tried first to take his life by shooting and then tried to drink the contents of a small vial. Later he made an attempt to get gun away from a rurale, but he was securely bound. He denied that his name was Walker and said that if his friend Frank-thought to be Frank Lewelling-was there the lat ter would shoot the heads off the off, cers A search was made of Walkers clothing, but all that was found was a flask of whiskey, paper of tobacco, an Episcopal prayer book and $1.1O in Mexican money.
