NECROINTRUDER SHOT.

Hearing noise on the porch roof
shortly after she went upstairs Satur-
day night to get ready to retire, Miss
Martha Cannan, popular young
schoolteacher of Cecilton, Md, quietly
walked to the window, peeped out and
noticed the form OF man on the porch
roof. She hurriedly ran to the next
room, where her father, Alfred CAN
nan, was sleeping, and told what she
had noticed. On four previous occa-
sions the Cannan family had been an
noyed by some one climbing to their
porch roof and they had prepared for
the would-be intruder should be return.
Mr.. Cannan, therefore, hurriedly
jumped from his bed, grabbed his re-
volver, hoisted the window and filed at
the form OF man, who was about to
jump to the ground. The intruder fell,
got up and started to run, but he only
got short distance when he fell over
dead. Noticing the man fall, the mem

was James Price, a negro who had re-

PARADEs OF PROTEST.

Parades Of protest broke out all over
the East Side in New York late Sat
urday on receipt of the news that
Justice Goff had ruled in the State
Supreme Court that strike which
demands the CLOSED shop" is con-
spiracy in restraint OF trade.
Bands OF the 10000 cloakmakers
now on strike marched through the
streets, one Of them to city hall, carry
ing banners and American flags, and
shouting, CLOSED sllop!" at every
step. While there was no violence,
the decision has greatly stirred the
strikers.
Asserting that the report that their
strike was officially declared off was
false, the general strike committee OF
the cloakmakcrs at mass meeting
yesterday rcpudiated the compromise
agreement advanced by the manufac-
turers, which waived the demand for
closed shops, and voted to continue
the strike until the closed shop demand
is conceded by the employers.
Samuel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation of Labor, is
greatly stirred by the decision of JUS
tice Goff. He says: ''The unions OF
labor will live, despite injunctions and
decisions, which invade constitutionally
guaranteed rights and human liberty.
Without the unions there is no posi-
bility for protection to the workers
against the tyranny or the absolute
autocratic sway OF concentrated capital
and greed"

CoUNTRY,s BIG WHEAT FIELDS.

Although the wheat fields Of the far
west are generally supposed to be Of
extended acreage, in the states where
these fields are largest they average a
little moro than one hundred acres.
In California, however, the average
is 100 acres. In North Dakota the
average is 115 acres; in Washington,
10 acres, and in Oregon, 105 acres.
Although there are some enormous
fields of wheat in these states, the many
smaller ones reduce the average size to
that OF ordinary farm.
The values of both wheat and corn
land are greatest in Illinois, where the
average value is said TO be SS4 an acre
for wheat and 500 for corn.

SEES PERIL IN SHINY SHOES
Take Up Too Much Of Wearer's At.
tentlon, Says a Writer In a New
York Newspaper.

II has become q matter Of some
doubt In the minds Of many people
whether patent leather shoes should
bo worn In the streets. Is 1t safe or Is
It not? Should we endanger our lives
In the distraction of traffic when, BY
wearing slightly less shiny shoes, we
could give our attention to lodging
automobiles and ducking street cars.
No child should be allowed out alone
In patent leather shoes-that Is de-
cided without a moments doubt; but
even people Of maturer years are not
quite responsible for their own safety
when wearing patent leather shoes.
They cannot be, no matter what their
strength of character. II ones shoes
will shine, so one must watch them,
and If one walks with ones eyes
riveted on ones flashing feet, one OF
necessity bumps into something, and
1t is nothing less than cold luck II
the something is lamp-post or a post
man instead Of a flying fire engine.
And then ones progress is so slow.
Absorbed. captivated, held spellbound
by ones own boot tips, one is so very
apt to arrive late at the place one
was going to or forget completely
ones destination and sinking onto q
park bench wave ones feet slowly
about, bewitched by their sparkling
high lights. Holland has most wisely
and kindly opened up wide thorough
fare for those persons who prefel
roller skates to other modes Of con
veyance, and as nothing more than
humane precaution the city ought tt
set aside one street for those incor
rightly yenturesorhe people who will
wear patent leather boots in public
