A contributor to one of the home
magazines claims that she has found
an acceptable gift for man. II there
is anything IN the idea 1t is worth pass
ing along, for suitable birthday and
Christmas gifts for men are so scarce
That one can't afford to disregard a
single possibility. This woman has
solved the problem OF Christmas gifts
for men by making the several nascu-
line members of her family shaving
towels of soft linen. Don't let any one
confuse this with the combing towel
which a woman uses, for the object Of
the towel is not to drape around the
shoulders while shaving, but rather to
use for the purpose for which towel
was originally designed after the shaw.
Ing process has been completed. The
towel is made Of figured blrdseye linen
Of very fire quality. This can be pur-
chased at the linen department Of any
large store. The towel is made yard
leng with half inch hem heslstitched
in each end and a monogram enbroid-
cred in one corner IN inch and half
above the hem. The softness Of tow
ell Of this kind seems to make 1t espe-
cially desirable for use after shaving.

Making a Match.


copyright. ieOe. by American Press Asso
clatlon.l
Mrs. Hunnimans hobby was match
making. When Mr.. Charles Edwin
Lupton took up his residence in the
city Of Mrs. Hunniman's home and
presented a letter of introduction tc
her, her first thought was how to pre-
sent him to society, the second how &c
present him with a wife. She de.
termined to invite the social leaders
to meet him at dinner and to give him
for a table companion a lady, also a
newcomer, in whose social preferment
she took a deep interest.
Mr.. Lupton was man of forty, IN
tellectual, good looking, well to do and
Of aristocratic mein. He had been
abroad for some time, and Mrs. Hunni-
man knew nothing of his antecedents
except that he was vouched for in the
highest terms in his letter of introduce
ton. But no one would mistake him
for anything else than a gentleman.
Miss Overlander, whom Mrs Hunni-
man designed for Mr.. Lupton's wife,
was thirty-two years old and still q
beautiful woman. But friend Of Mrs.
Hunniman told some one, who told 9th.
ers, that Miss Overlander was not
Miss OverIander at all.
When the dinner guests were assem-
bled In the drawing room, Mrs. Hunni-
man took Mr. Lupton's arm and led
him to the lady beside whom he was to
sit at table. There was something so
distinguished in both Mr., Lupton's
and Miss 0verlander's person and
manner that the hum of conversation
rcased, and all eyes were fixed upon
She couple. Both bowed low, the man
made some casual observation, the
woman replied by an asserting ned,
the guests resumed their chat, and not
long afterward al passed into the din
fng room.
There is one thing that matchmakers
who are real matchmakers never do.
They carefully abstain from any word
or act that will intimate their inten-
lions to the objects of their designs.
Mrs. Hunniman had thus abstained in
the present case, though 1t had been
whispered among the dinner guests
that she had Intentions concerning Mr..
Lupton and Miss overlander, and dur
ing the dinner the couple were the re-
cipients Of curious glances. The con-
yersation between the two seemed Mt
first a trihe constrained, and Mrs.
Hunniman was not especially enceur-
aged as to the matter she had in view.
The lady seemed not especially at

Tennessee Factions in a Rage Over the
Shooting.

New York. Nov. IA contribution Il
knowledge of the situation in Tennessee
arising from the murder OF ex-senator
Carmack is to be found in a special dis
patch to The Globe OF this city from Co
lumbia. IL sayIi
Tennessee is fsrmenting like a pot
OF yeast over the Csrmack killing, Not
even the fact that the funeral is held
to-day, at the earliest moment which
convention makes possible, has served u
allay the bitter feeling between the rival
political clans.
when the governor Of the state is
so bitterly asssil,d through the public
prints that only the fearful entreaties
Of his friends kept him from sending a
challenge to the vituperative editor, 9th
er lesser men may not restrain their an
ger. No man can question that the
situation is dangerous one.
Because of Carruack's prominence.
and the fact that the church element Of
the state is largely enrolled among the
dead senator's friends, the impression
seems to have gone out that the Coopers
are friendles In their cells. The con.
trary ia the case. For every man that
walks through the streets Of Nashville
and Memphis to-day, exulting in his
loyalty to the dead senator, and open
to proclaim vengeance against his Stay.
ers, there is another man who declares
himself friend to the Coopers and to
Governor Patterson and TO the faction
that Of late years has opposed Carmack
politically.
ut is too much to hope for that these
ardent partisens will not close sooner or
later, especially in state where every
business and professional man carries
gun as hsbitually as he totes collar
button, and who defends himself by bull
let and knife against assault as in north.
ern states he would use cane.
ut must not be forgotten that Car
mack, while alive, boosted as large and
prosperous o crop OF enemies as any man
in Tennessee. He was a tremendously
powerful man, intellectually and politi-
cally. He was proud OF his unsparing
wit and of his gifts OF invective When
he opposed q man he was not content to
make the simple announcement Of that
fact. He crucihed his opponent on the
cross OF his sarcasm. He whipped his
adversary with scorn. No weapon was
too vicious to be made use of. A strong
man, firm in his conviction that what
he did was right, he became bully in
some relations
"a man of high private character, and
perhaps the greatest advocate Of prohi-
bition ever in the South, he won to his
support thousands of the strong church
element throughout Tennessee. But be-
cause Of is domineering habit, his intern.
perance Of speech bis brutality in de-
bate and editorial, he alienated other
thousands of men of equally high char
acted, who differed from him in matters
of politics.
"BecaHse of these things immediate
trouble is feared by the level-hcaded men
of both factions. Without attempting
to indorse the action of the Coopers,
the leaders among Cooper's friends have
found plenty of excuse for their action,
and have not failed to promise resist
ance to any attempt to extort ven.
geance."

What Organized Labor Wants.

The organized laborers Of America de.
nand no special fayors; no old age pen
sionsi no socialistic legislation They
want only justice. They ask the Amer.
lean people for protection against medi.

are imprisoned, fined, and continually
intimidated for doing in combination,
acts which every citizen of the United
States has a constitutional right to do
as an individual English lahorcrs have
been given this protection by acts of
Parliament. American lahorers have
sought it in vain from Congress for ten
years. Until they secure it, there can
never BE- said to be really free labor in
America,
A combination of laborers is not like
any other economic combination. For
this reason: labor combination does
not sell iron, steel, cloth -inanimate
things; it sells the power to labor, aud
that power can never be divorced from

NOISE A FACTOR In
PHYSICAL STRAIN
Anemia Among Factory Girls Not so
Much By Increase of Work as BY
Increased Tension.

In the mills of Fall River, as in all
factories everywhere, there has been,
during the past hundred years, con-
slant sharpening of the intensity of the
work. The weight of factory work mas
not increased. But the strain has. The
old factory, with its slow and moro
cumbrous machinery, wearied the mus
cles. The modern factory racks the
nerves. The consequence of overwork
in the old factory was sheer fatigue and
collapse. The consequence of overwork
in modern factory is nervous pros
tIation.
The malnutrition and snemia so fire.

THE AIRSHIP ASCENSI0NS

Berlin, Nov 1.-THE Rcichstag again
was crowded yesterday, when the debate
on the interview with Emperor William
published in the London Telegraph on
Oct. % was resumed. The House lis
tened with undiminished attention while
the constitutionality Of Emperor Will
liam's private intorposition in the for
eign affairs Of the nation was discussed
Chancellor Won Buelow and al other
minister, including Baron Won Kiderlen'
Wacchter, the acting foreign minister
were present, and the diplomatic and
other galleries were filled.
Baron Camp, Conservative, said he
thought the anger and bitterness shown
Tuesday by Herr Liebermann Won Son
ncnberg, the Agarian and Anti.Semite,
was no way TO treat such sorrowful
subject. Il was tragic, he said, that a
sovereign with so many admirable quail
ties should find himself in such a plight,
His maiesty's trouble ought rather to
be ascribsd to his responsible advisers
who, since the time Of Bismarck, never
have been able TO tell his majesty plain
" HIS constitutional duties
Caprivi was a soldier who always de.
fined his duty as merely TO obey the
Prince of Hohenlohe, Baron Camp con.
tinued. Valuable as he was TO the en-
pirey he never obtained a strong hold
over the emperor. Chancellor Won Bue-
low at times has exercised considerable
influence over his majesty, but we would
like 10 know, said the speaker, the basis
Of the conviction that The emperor will
be more reserved in the future than in
the past.
The speaker here was interrupted by
densive cries from the Socialists.
Baron Camp was followed by several
other members of the Reichstag, who
reviewed the acts of the emperor, and
complained sharply Of the chancellor's
course in not resisting imperial excur-
sions beyond the constitutional frontiers.
Carl schtader, Radical, said Emperor
William should be in Berlin attending to
the affairs of state. rather than at Fried
richshafen watching the ascensions Of
the Zeppelin airship.

cared that Emperor William and Prince
Won Buelow often follow different for

ncnts never knew what was going to

Conservative, said that his wing OF the
Conservatives was satisfied with the ex-

Men in High Office Accused

THE FUED IS SPREADING
Armed Men Of Both Factions Walk the
Streets Of Nashville and Memphis
The Governor Now In
Danger.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov 1.-THE friends
Of former Senator Il. W. Carmack, whc
was assassinated on the street by Robin
Cooper on Monday, assert that the kill
ing was the result OF conspiracy with
which men in high authority were con.
nected.
IL now develops, according to friends
Of Mr.. Carmack, that a third party was
with the Coopers just before the shooting
former county official, who is a close
personal friend of both the Coopers and
Governor Patterson. Col. Cooper is a
close friend OF the governor.
Carmack's friends further say that he
was waylaid; that when he left the Ten
nesseean Office for his boarding house
the fact was telephoned from house
near the Tennesseean and that thus the
Coopers were notified that the senator
was on his way.
Friends of the dead senator intimate
that there viii be sensational develop
ments regarding tho affair.
While the excitement over the tragedy
has TO a certain extent abated, yet it Is
still the chief topic Of conversation in
this city and throughout the state.
Col. Cooper, who was with his SON
when the latter shot Mr.. Carmack. has
been remanded to Jail without bond,
charged with murder. Young Cooper re-
mains under guard at a local hospital
where his wound is being treated. His
preliminary trial on the charge of muir
der will be held at soon as he is able
to leave the hospital.
The friends OF the Coopers say that
the affair was merely a street duel in
which both sides met and began firing,
