ASHLEY FALLS

Since the reported discovery of the North Pole, Brooklyn doctors are being feted and feasted the world over. It was not for this reason, however, that company of thirty-one gathered at Maplewood Inn, Ashley Falls, Mass. on Saturday evening, September 4th, to celebrate the birthday of Dr. William Frederick Koerner, prominent Brook lyn physician; but because during the summer stay of his family at Ashley Falls, he has by his genial ways made himself popular with everybody whom he has met. Between eight and nine o'clock the guests began to arrive from far and near, filling two adjoining par lOrs to the full. The music was started by the unsuspecting doctor, who Is very accomplished pianist and singer, and from that time on there was never a dull moment. Piano solos by Mir. Price, of New York, Miss Florence M. Penwarden, of Brooklyn and others; re- citations by Miss Edna Welch, piano duets, vocal solos by Miss Penwarden, Miss Florence Hall and Carl Price, who is very talented young man, and gen. eFal songs by everybody, made up the informal program. At half after eleven the company adjourned to the dining Hall W1lHI6 6tdDOThG6 T6Ir6Snn6nbS W6I6 served by the hostess, Mrs. F. F. Smith. AS soon as the jolly company were seated it was announced for the first time by MT. Price in an appropriate speech touching upon the occasion' that ill a half hour the doctor could be congratu- lated upon his birthday and in a speech the good wishes of the company were offered to him. The doctor replied i'll happy vein, expressing his complete sur prise that the party was held i'll his honor. After relating the circumstances which had attracted him to Ashley Falls together with his wife and daughter, Dorothy, his father in law, John Boh- ling, and brother in law, Henry Bohling, all of Brooklyn, the doctor bespoke his hearty thanks to his hosts, MT. and Mrs. F. F. Smith, for the jolly and comfort able summer home. which they had made for him at Maplewood Inn. Ex- actly at twelve o'clock, by an unforeseen accident, the lights went out, "As if dimmed, " one said, 'by the brilliancy of the important birthday that had just arrived" While some were scampering for lights, the gas was turned on again. and the occasion was brighter than ever until at last the final song was sung, Good night Ladles," and the company deDarted .f .R-s

PRESSED STEEL CAR
 CO.'S STRIKE ENDED
WOrkmen Win Complete ViC-
 tory After Long Fight.

Pittsburg, Sept. S.-Peace and quiet will again reign in McKees Rocks The costly strike which has been in progress fifty-three days at the Press ed Steel Car company is over. The workmen, numbering over 5000, won a complete victory and returned to work.
 McKees Rocks borough is glad, as is all Greater Pittsburg, that the trouble Is at an end. Riots and bloodshed caused almost complete tie-up of business in the vicinity of the mill, and the inceSsant, rigid patrol of Pennsyl- vania state constabulary was respon- sible for situation at all times tense.
 The one point, that of an increase in wages, which postponed the settle ment, was compromised. The men asked that notice be posted fixing a date when the 1907 wage scale, an ad- vance of 15 per cent over this years scale, would be paid them. The com pany would not consent to this, but, it is said, promised to pay the 1907 rate of wages as soon as present contracts are filled. This will be in sixty days.
 The satisfaction of the men over the final outcome of their contention is general. Among the changes agreed to by the company are the following:
 No Sunday work hereafter, half holi- day on Saturday. the promise of an in- crease in wages, the indefinite suspen- sion of T. A. Farrell, chief of the com pany police; printed list of prices to be paid will be exhibited in all depart ments so the men will know exactly what they are to receive for piece work and a guarantee that better con ditions are to prevail throughout the big mill.
 Owing to the rcticence of Commits sioner of Labor C. r. Neill, nothing def mite is obtainable concerning the in vestigation he is making here in con nection with the strike. It is said MT. Neill will report to Washington before announcing whether the government intends to prosecute.
