Christening tho New Baby.

The time chosen for a christening is
usually when the child is about six
weeks old, though when there is diff
Guilty in deciding upon name it is de-
ferred.
The first step in this ceremony Is the
choice Of sponsors. Parents should
request only those relatives and near
friends who are likely to have the
time and disposition to keep their
promises they are called upon to make.
Two women and one man usually are
sponsors for a girl, and two men and
one woman for boy, though one god
father and one godmother suffice for a
child OF either sex.
Usually the mother writes to ask the
service OF the friends or relatives de-
cided upon TO take the vows In behalf
Of her baby but there is no reason
why the request should not be made
verbally,
Aside from the sponsors and near
relatives, only few intimate friends
Of the husband and wife are asked to
be present at the christening, and the
wife issues brief notes Of invitation to
them

Tho Fashionable Mother.

The mother who gives over her child
entirely to the care Of an attendant
after school hours is typical of the
times. for this the up to date parent
manages somehow, even on limited
means. What Is the result2 Lax table
manners, a curt yes" or mo" when
answering elders, and with relations
no manners at all; taking what Is
wanted without permission from any
room. and raging at correction from
any source. OF course the mother re-
sents any criticism of her method and
will endeavor to explain away the tan
trums as nervousness
She wants her child-when grown up
at least-to have the manners Of her
class. but she does not seem to realize
that these will probably not be nc
CURED from hired attendants, nor will
years OF struggling entirely obliterate
the effect Of early influence. That ev-
cry small girl should at least have
luncheon with her mother and occa-
sionally be her companion for driving
or calling, seems a not unreasonable
demand, but many fashionable moth
ers are unwilling to make even this
small sacrifice, if that can be called a
sacrifice which ought to be the highest
privilege.

ON AGREEMENT.

Chicago. July 25.-After four
months Of a suspens on Of coal MINI
ing in Illinois, during which manE-
facturers and railroads have paid
hundreds of thousand of dollars ad-
ditional for Their fuel. a settlement
OF the trouble has been reached be-
tween the operators and striking
miners. The agreement, which will
be sent to a referendum vote of the
miners today. was reached at con-
ference in Indianapolis which was
concluded yesterday
Under the terms of the settlement
the Illinois Coal Operators Assocla-
ton will pay the advance OF 3 cents
ton mine rum, the scale agreed up
on in the miners international con-
.yention. and an additional cents a
ton in Franklin and Williamson coun-
ties. The payment of shot firers,
which has been the principal bone of
contention since the trouble began,
was compromised. The operators
agree to pay the shot firers. with the
provision that the expense shall not
exceed TX cents ton.
That the settlement will be except
ed by the miners on referendum
vote there is said to be hardly a
doubt, as the men get nearly every
thing they contended for The opera

refused to grant further increase to
the miners in Franklin andWillia mson
counties, though it was admitted
that there was an inequality in the
sale for those counties.
The suspension began April / and
the supply of Illinois coal gave out two
months later. Since then manufact-
urers have been compelled to get
eastern coal at cost of about 81
ton in excess of the price paid for

WiresIess is WaYlaid.

When the rugitives embarked on
the Montrose at Antwerp they do not
seem to have attracted notice, sus-
picion not being awakened until the
steamer was well at sea. The Mon.
trose does not carry first class pas
sengers. She has about 20 second
class passengers and 400 steerage
passengers aboard.
1t is to be assumed that the Lau,
rentic wireless picked up the Mon
trose and that the disposition of the
fugitiyes has already been decided,
so far as Inspector Dow and the cap
tain of the steamer are concerned 1t
is expected that the Laurentic will
overhaul the Montrose and that In
spector Dow will board the latter YES
sci and arrest the couple at sea. This,
again, is merely conjecture.
The passenger list of the Montrose
does not contain the names of the

Crippen and his companion, Miss
Leneve are aboard. There is a prob
ability almost amounting to certainty,
however. that they are on the Mon

Dow is on the Laurentic, he should
reach Canada twenty-four hours

The story ascribing the informa.
tion regarding the whereabouts of the

than doubtful, There is every reason
to believe that the captain of tue
Montrose sent wireless message on
the afternoon of July % announcing
that a disguised couple were aboard
the Montrose. A corroborative mes

statement that the younger suspect

ACTIVE SEARCH
FOR PEORIA MAN
JOSEPH PROCTOR, HEAD OF
LUMBER CONCERN BELIEVED
MENTALLY UNBALANCED.
SHORT ABOUT 100000
But the Alleged REGULATIONS of the
Missing Man Are Covered
BY Gilt Edged
Securities.

Peoria, H., July 25.-Joseph A,
Proctor, president of the Proctor
Lumber Company, who has been
missing from his home since Thurs
day morning, has not returned, and
scores of friends In automobiles, as
sisted by the entire police and detec-
tive force of Peoria. are making a
systematic search, covering several
counties, in an effort to locate the
missing man.
Members of the family believe that
Proctor has become mentally unbai-
anced, his condition being brought on
by the worry and exposure of his
carelessness and alleged populations
in using money for investment pur-
poses which was not his own, having
expected to return the loan when the
deals PANIED out. The news of the
former wealthy lumberman's absence
proved a profound sensation, and to-
day several thousand of his friends
are quietly searching for him.
Will Not Exceed 100000.
Attorneys for Proctor and his rela.
tives who also lost heavily in past
transactions. estimate that the short
age will not exceed the 100000 mark
but as the bankers refuse to have his
safety deposit box opened without
his presence, it is assumed by those
who are close to the business affairs
of Proctor that there will yet be
some startling disclosures in poor
financing and that his shortages may
yet appear much larger
I'VE are working on friendly ba-
sis with Mrs. Joseph Proctor" said
Mr. Todd, attorney for Mrs. Trumbull
sister of Proctor, who had left her
entire business transaction in Proc
tors hands and lost approximately
100000, "and considered the matter
as family affair up to this time, but
of course the interest of the victim
lied sister must be protected"
Shortage is Secured.
While the shortages appear at the
present time unusually large, there
have been no warrants issued for the
arrest of the missing man, as the en-
tire shortage is secured by real estate
and gilt edged personal security.
Judge Winslow Evans, Proctor's at,
torney. said that his client had made
no confession to him that be was
short or owed any one. According to
Judge Evans, Proctor said he did not
owe his sister anything, but she has
produced letter in which he admits
owing her large sum.

mentally deranged and every effort is

It is understood that the London

the fugitives.
1t is stated that the information
from the Montrose was transmitted to
the Lizard and thence sent to London
but the radius of the Montrose's aero

President Joe Coin of the In
dians ran afoul of Tip O'Neil, presi-
dent of the Western league, while
on his trip to Chicago. AS a result
of statements purported to have
been made by Cohn at Omaha, a
Lincoln newspaper has decided to
put a number of men to work on
the box scores to determine just
what the batting averages of the
Western league sluggers are.
while stopping over in Omaha,
happened to make the remark to
an acquaintance that | considered
the Western league joke so far as
batting averages are concerned
explained the Indian owner this
morning. Il declared that any
league that had 81 men hitting over
800 was a joke.
Imagine my surprise on reaching
Denver to read an interview with
me in which I declared President
O'Neil a joke, said that he was unfit
to hold the office and made unkind
comparisons between the head of
the Western league and President
Lucas.

my remark at Omaha, peddled it to
a newspaper man, who in turn,
wired an alleged interview all over

any league to be the laughing stock
ever that a Lincoln paper is to take
up the matter of those batting aver.
