LABOR WAR PREDICTED
 N NOVA SCOTIA
Over Entry of United Mine Workers of
 America Into the Province.

Halifax, x. S, March 11~-|As re- suit of the action of the coal operators of Nova Scotia combining their forces to fight the entry of the United Mine Workers of America into this province a great labor war Is predicted. Repre- sentatives of the various mining com panies have just met in secret session and agreed that they would use every endeavor to prevent the United Mine Workers from gaining control or the labor at the mines in this province. as such a step might ultimately result in the loss of a large part of the Nova Scotia coal trade to Americans. Rep resentatiyes of the United Mine Work CTS are now in Nova Scotia organizing unions. but the mine owners say that they will not recognize the new organ ization The owners have all agreed to stand by the provincial workmen's association, the old union.

WILL MAKE ATTEMPT
 TO FLOAT ENGLISH BARK.
Tugs Win Go to Her Aid This Morn
 inql

British bark Ladysmith. Captain Mahoney, which went ashore on fhe south side of Fishers Island in We'd nesday's fog, was reported Thursday to be in a precarious condition. The mark is on the rocky shore near Mid . dle farms. The wind has blown strong during the night and the men at the life saving station said that the vessel was pounding quite badly.
 It was too rough for the T. A Scott company to send a tug and lighter across Long Island sound. Even If the wrecking apparatus had been sent to the bark it is probable that with the wind blowing so fiercely little could be done in the savage seas. Tug T. A. Scott, Jr., is held in readiness to go to the wreck if the weather changes.
 On the arrival of lighters this morn ing the cargo of the Ladysmith will be lightered and an attempt madeNto float her.

THAMESVlLLE RESIDENTS
 WANT BETTER PROTECTION. Will Petition for the Placing of Com pany and Apparatus in Hosehouse There and for Larger Water Main.

petition Is being circulated at Thamesville among the factories and the residents which is to be presented to the common council asking for the placing of modern fire apparatus and a company in the now vacant hose house in that section for the better protection of that district, where are located several large factories and many residences. They also ask for larger water main in that section that a sufficient water service can be se- cured in case of fire. The petition seems to be meeting with much favor and a number of signatures have al- ready been received.
 The petition results from the several fires which occurred in that section last year, when two dwellings were destroyed and the storehouse and mill No. 1 of the Uneas Paper company was burned. It is a long run to Thamesville for the department and at the present time there is only a small water main from which to secure water, it not being large enough to supply the draught of the engine, while the pressure without the engine was not enough to make much impress sion at the fires.

Lathrop Memorial Society Hears Rev. E. H. Smith Describe Chinese Mis-

The Lathrop Memorial Foreign Mis- sionary meeting was held in the First church chapel on Wednesday after noon, a large number being present It was most interesting meeting, led by Rev E. R Smith Of China. He said in part:
 we arrived in Foochow during within a month of reaching China. Miss Chfttendon left soon and we were there alone.

 "The Chinese fear the foreigners and have reason to. They attack the coolies. A foreign contractor, if a workman lags, will shoot him in the
 "Chinese history goes back hye thousand years. In all this time the Chinese have been adapting themselves to their environment and their sur roupdings now suit their needs.
 ''One effort is to put responsibility upon native preachers and bring them to do their work. These native preachers preach well-a sermon wor- thy of any preacher. They are pinched as to salary and poor, terrible poor, even from a Chinese standpoint:
 Tn all the mission work the aim is to combine Scotch, English ard Ameri- can sects into one church.
 Tt is very hot there; even in Janu- ary it is not safe to be out doors all day. Just now azalea time is coming; trees as big as the church elms are full of blossoms. Waterfalls are tum- bling over rocks; the scenery is beau tiful.
 "A good deacon who had prayed constantly for the conversion of his children and grandchildren died about two years ago. Among his papers his will was found (Here MT Smith held up the will, written in Chinese.) ) I bequeath to you my grandson; look upon his face as you would look on mine treat him as you have me-"

NEEDLEWoRK NOTES..

The extremely large buttons used on
coats and skirts have brought a new
way of cutting the buttonholes, for
now. instead of being just a straight
slit, vertical or horizontal, they slant
upward, and the button is sewed so
that the lower end of the %buttonhole
just reaches. This Is quite an i'm
provement, for buttons cannot easily
slip out of these holes
In replacing an old skirt braid or
sewing on a new IN after the skirt
has been finished try the following
method: Rip a place in the hem wide
enough to insert a calling card and
by slipping the card along between the
outer and inner parts of the hem 1t
will prevent the stitches from showing
through on the outer side. This is of
special benefit when sewing on thin
material.
There seems a great desire upon the
part of all persons to again revive the
pleasing art of hand embroidery as a
proper and BETTING trimming for
waists. One waist of taupe satin, the
new shade of gray, vas made with a
very plain front, showing festoons of
brick red flowers. The pattern was
somewhat scattered. not the least com
pact. and showed well upon the duh
background. The sleeves were treated
in similar manner.
Here is an idea for the inventive
girl 1t comes from London and proves
that the hatpin can be something be
sides a relic Of the inquisition. She
who likes an odd touch OF color and
of originality in her own handiwork
can now mold sealing wax" hatpins
Lovely new colors are nov found in
sealing wax-sticks of exquisite her
tensia pink, emerald green. lizard
green, gemlike purples- which are cap
tivating. These. softened and cunning

gers. produce beautiful results and. too,

Book For Menus.

The various menus served at lunch
rons and dinners are so soon forgotten
by the hostess that she is often apt to
repeat the menu for some Of the same
guests. To prevent this the woman
who entertains might buy a blank
book and into it write a list of the
guests entertained and the menu
served. together with a word or two
about the decorations. In this way
she has but to look yer the list to see
what she served when certain guests
we're entertained. After n few months
or so the book would prove valuable
for suggestions.
