President Lewis and the national ex-

Van Horn and other officials of dis
tIfct No. II. Indiana, for having dis
obcyed the mandate of the national
officers to discontinue the strike at the
Hudson mine.
President Walker of the United Mine
Workers of Illinois failed to get ar
extension of time to speak against the
motion. and he took his seat amid
cheering.
The roll was called for adoption OF
the report, with the result that in a
total vote of 2,6S1 there were 1927
approving and 1854 dissenting.
President Feehan and other officers
of the Pittsburg district took the floor
to protest against the action of Presi-
dent Lewis in refusing financial assist
ance to the striking miners of the
Mercer Butler field, Pennsylvania, on
the ground that there was too little
chance of success. President Feehan
set forth the present status of the
struggle and appealed to the delegates
TO support him in the application to
the national officers for aid.

Antisuffrssists Appeal to Governor
Hughes For Recognition.
New York. Feb. 2.-Thc New York
State Antisuffrage association has sent
the following letter to Governor
Hughes
Earnestly believing that the serious
purpose, ability and experience to be
found among women In many walks of
life should be used for the benefit OF the
community and that the public service
can be rendered more effective and eco
nomical by the appointment Of women
Of judgment and energy as members of
such educational, charitable. sanitary and
reformatory boards, commissions and
committees as deal directly with the
that you will make such appointments of
the state of New York.
We believe this to be the safest method
Of utilizing at the present time the ca
pacities Of women and their interest in
the public welfare without exposing our
civic institutions to the risk attendant
upon granting to women unrestricted suf-
frege.
The letter is signed by Mrs. Francis
M. Scott, Mrs. Arthur NJ. Dodge, Mrs.
william A. Putnam, president of the
Brooklyn auxiliary; Mrs. George Doug

young and the rich and sumptuous for
the matron. In the illustration are
shown two gowns of the richer quail
ties of silks. One is of pale blue peau
de cygne trimmed with silk fringe Of
the same shade, applied so as to simu-
late an opening in the skirt. 1t is
princess shape the skirt reaching three
inches above the real waist line. There
is stomacher of fine real lace, finish
ed at the bottom with the fringe, while
the silk is draped artistically across
the front and on over the shoulders,
forming a tucked kimono sleeve. Along
the top there is band of scarlet vel
vet with line of gold braid, and four
buttons are covered with the velvet.
The other elegant dinner or dancing
gown is of black satin duchess, the
skirt being close to the hips and ample
at the foot, and has an overdress Of
silk net bordered with rich band of
beaded trimming in imitation black
pearls, something quite costly, even in
the imitation, but beautiful. The
sleeves and bodice are of the same net,
with a band of crushed silk in the
American Beauty rose shade, ending
on the left side beneath two of those
lovely roses. In the hair is an aigret
held by band of the pearl beads over
pink velvet.
Among the less costly materials in
tended for evening occasions l may
mention the delicate and dainty voiles.
These are now made of cotton and so
cleverly manipulated by the weaver
that it is next to impossible to distin-
guish them from the all wool yoiles,
while some are so treated that" they
are fully as pretty as the silk voiles'
They are far cheaper than fine wool
or silk, but quite as pretty since. 1t is
necessary to pull the threads apart to
discover the fiber of which they are
made. All the same delicate tints and
soft colors are produced in these cot
ton voiles that can be found In the
more expensive goods.
In the new cotton goods the variety
is beyond the space Of an ordinary
page to describe, but l will say that
never have cotton dress fabrics been
30 beautiful. The Scotch ginghams
have always been handsome and good
value, but this year they have some
how gained an added softness and lus
ter that make them very desirable.

SNOWY than most of the others. and
they do make up into the daintiest of
new gowns for evening and dressy oc.
casions. They are 80 glossy that, al.
though they are so light, they look al
most sumptuous. There is a long list
Of fancy silks in checks, stripes and

and all at very reasonable price for

on the foulard ground. The colors are
those of the syndicate, which means
that there are all kinds of goods in

SO that whatever one wants can be
found to match.

rapidly coming in again-we find taffe-

very rich and thick satin, yet 1t is
supple and drapes gracefully. Liberty
satin is shown for evenings, particu-
larly for the young. One Of the dainty
evening dresses In this delicate silk
looks fairly ethereal. Habutai silks
are washable, and so are the best for
all kinds Of waists and for children's
frocks. They wash SO well and re-

Japanese silks are also shown in great
variety and are dainty and serviceable.
The rich taffeta and satin duchess
are employed mostly in fine visiting
costumes and are richly and elaborate

beautiful silk braids, or with braids

HAD BEEN RESPONDENT
SINCE LOSS OF PLACE
Got Rubber Tube and Fixed 1t to
Gas Jet, but Was Prevented.
Something Woke Wife.

"A man out of work has no right to
live" said James w. Murray, So years
old, of 172 Elm street, who twice early
today tried to enc his life by inhaling
Illuminating gas al his home. Murray,
who is d bookkeeper, is married, and
has been out of work for three weeks.
He was always a steady worker, but,
on account of cutting expenses, the firm
was compelled to let him go. Since his
discharge he has acted in a morose
manner, but gave no mixing that he
contemplated suicide.
Last night after his wife retired Muir
ray went TO his room and put a rubber
hose on the jet and attempted to end
his life by asphyxiation. The odor of
gas ecaping while he was adjusting the
tube was noticed by his wife, who be-
a an immediate investigation. She
found her husband at the jet and Sc
verely censured him. He then went to
bed.
Two hours later in some peculiar
manner Mrs. Murray awakened. and
again observed the odor of gas. Going
TO her husbands a second time
she found him with the tube in his
mouth. She turned off the gas and
summoned assistance. The patrol wagon
of the Third Precinct police station
carried the unconscious man to ST.
James's Hospital. There his condition
is not considered serious.
