London, November s6.-Pending Pre- mier Asquiths official statement before parliament on Friday, small hope is en- tertained of clearing up the involved sit uation which resulted from the sudden change introduced by Lord Lansdownes call for the veto bill. The feature which stands out in the present position of the parties is that the house of lords fin- ally has awakened to the absolute neees- sity of undertaking self reform The radical leaders view this late repentance with the utmost suspicion, and it remains to be seen whether 1t will eventuate in an agreement which the abortive veto conference failed to achieve.
 The parliamentary lobbies today were full of rumors of all kinds-that the King had refused to give the prime minister guarantees to increase the number of peers sufficient for the governments pur- poses in reforming the house of lords; that the ministry would resign; that an- other party conference would be held.
 Nothing definite, however, is known be- side the fact that all preparations are going on for a general election, and best informed opinion tonight believes that, as the government declines to accept any amendments to the veto bill, Lord Lans- downe, who was consulted this afternoon with MT. Balfour and other leaders will either decline to proceed with the bill or the house of lords will reject 1t on the second reading on Monday, and that the dissolution of parliament will be an- nounced next week.
 Lord Rosebery, in the house of lords today after declaring that the house stood in a very grave position, announced his intention to ask for facilities for the discussion of his plan for the reform of the house. It is believed that the lords will proceed at once with the debate on this question.

Heart toHeart
Talks.
WHAT SHE DID.
By EDWIN A. NYB.

Her name Is Hannah Jacober.
She occupied a high school position
in her home in Germany and until her
marriage had worked at nothing more
laborious than needlework.
Five years ago the JacOber family
came TO America. the husband occupy
ing a good salaried position. A year
afterward be died.
Mrs. Jacober was left without sup
port and with three small children.
She was too proud to go back to the
fatherland penniless. and in less than
a year the wolf knocked at the door
Of her little dat.
She could speak but little English.
and It was some time before she could
get sewing to do.
But Mrs. Jacober was brave.
With fingers unaccustomed to toll
she learned bow to use sewing ma
chine and fashion garments. Early
and late she ran her machine to earn
bread for her little brood
That's nothing. you say; thousands
Of women are glad TO do that
But wait.
This woman did the sewing early In
the morning and very late at night ir
order that she might attend high school
in the daytime
Mind you, she was nearly thirty
years OF age, she spoke broken Eng
lish, and she must so into the classes
Of boys and girls in their teens.
Sometimes the thoughtless young
sters laughed at her poor speech and
awkward recitauons. That hurt. And
sometimes late at night when the chill
dren were in bed tears slid slowly
down her face ON to the garments she
fashioned.
But she was plucky.
Aud now after three years of hard
study I'm the schools and tollsome
nights at the machine Mrs. Jacober is
shortly to have her diploma. And
then?
This determined young widow of
thirty-two with three kideens TO keep
will take a short course IN a summer
normal school, and next fall she viii
begin teaching in the Chicago public
schools, where a position awaits her.
These are the short and simple an
nails Of Hannah Jacober.
You can al in the outlines. Especial
" will every woman understand the
struggle Of this lone woman to care
for her little ones, do her housework
and earn a living, to say nothing Of at
tending school,
Why do / tell this story?
Because it is an unusual heroism Of
a woman. Because no woman-or man
either-ever made braver fight under
stress and strain.
And because some despairing sou
may read it and take heart again.

HEAVY FROST
LAST NIGHT
Growers Think Fruit Down in
Sussex Was Damaged
Somewhat

There was a heavy frost throughout
the State last night, but so far as could
be learned to-day It caused some
damage to the fruit crop down the
State.
The frost was of the dry kind, and
accompanied by cold, the thermometer
being near the freezing point about
Seaford.
Some of the growers about Seaford
think the fruit in Sussex county was
damaged by the frost and cold but
the extent will not be known for awhile.
While some growers to-day advance
the opinion that peaches were injured
to some extent, a half dozen orchard
lists declared at noon that after ex-
animation Of orchards they believe the
foliage protected the fruit from much
injury by the heavy morning frost.

Financial and Commercial

+. d. Lackey & Co. stated to-day: "Af-
ter the good advance of yesterday after
noon, there was some little profit taking
this morning which the marke readily
absorbed and it is expected that better
prices will be scored before the end Of
the week. The best buying seems to be
in Steel Common and Union Pacific and
much higher prices are predicted for the
former. The Philadelphia market was
somewhat mixed and Philadelphia Rapid
Transit was again under pressure, while
Lehigh Valley advanced. The new loans
Of the former company are not taken
with much grace and Indication are that
further liquidation will take place in the
stock"
c. l. Hudson and Co. stated this morn
ing: "The crop outlook is somewhat inn
proved by the rains in the West. 1t is
now predicted that the spring wheat
acreage will be fully 20 per cent larger
than that Of last year. 1t IS three to four
weeks earlier"
