NEW YORK, April blooming
back to the ordinary routine of bust
ness life with the beginning OF this
week the stock exchange found itself
confronted with two considerations
pointing in opposite directions. One
was the increasing indication that the
anthracite coal strike would be imme.
diately settled; the other was the
seeming imminence OF strike of the
locomotive engineers.
The second of these considerations
disclosed a somewhat extraordinary
state OF things. So far as the evil
dence of the day threw am light on
II, the engineers representatives were
insisting upon their ultimatum OF an
immediate strike in default OF the
wage without any sign
OF Difference to mediation or arbitra-
tion-the managers were doing moth
ing but await the outcome, and the
government mediators were knocking
without result at the door Of each.
Wall-st. seemed to take refuge in the
belief that no general tie-up was a
possibility, or perhaps that some
basis for reviewing the demands,
without a strike, would be found at
the eleventh hour. On this or some
similar basis Of inference, the stock
market was quiet and apathetic
throughout the day. Changes in price
were irregular and mostly fractional,
and advances alternated with de-
clines. A sharp advance in Read
ing, just before the close, Influenced
the general market.

The story OF Mrs. Allison's heroism
Is told by her sister. Miss Sadie
Daniels. With the Allisons were their
little daughter Lorraine and their
seven.months-old son, Wilbur. This is
the sisters story:
Sister died rather than leave her
husband, when the officers refused TO
let both into the lifeboat. She said
life was not worth living alone and
she went down even smiling, with her
arm around Herbert.
When the boat struck, few realiz-

and Bessie laughed and went back to
