Frances, charmed with the general

air of a conqueror. She was gracious,
tactful, compelling. Women came to
look, ana stayed 10 Duy.
At the end of the day her employer
was radiant. His name was Boyd
Henry Boyd. He had been at the point
of failure and he believed that she
had brought him success.
'Look here" was his proposition,
why can't you stay? You don't look

Later Frances ran over to tell the

SLEIGH TURNED TURTLE
And Later Horse Bowled Over Youth in
Doorway of Barn

A ripple of excitement in the vicinity
of the city square was caused Yesterday
afternoon. when single team coming
down Washington street turned turtle in
front of DR. O. c. Stckney's residence,
depositing the sole occupant Of the sleigh
in an adjacent snow bank and allowing
the frightened horse to sprint down
Church street and up South Main to its
home barn without the guiding hand Of
a driver at the rear end of the ribbons.
Although somewhat Jared and more OF
less scratched about the face by the sud
den plunge, the erstwhile driver Of the
horse was able to reach his feet and
walk home.
In making a flying entrance into the
barn. the horse ignored the presence OF
hostler standing in the open doors and
promptly bowled the young horseman
over. Fortunately the lad landed in
pile of blankets and suffered no i'll ef-
fects from his share in the accident
Except for slight damages to the sleigh
and some badly trampled shribbery near
the scene of the accident, the loss result
ing from the mishap viii be trivial

MEANS NO FIGHT
IN PERSONALITIES
Roosevelt Declares He Will Not Be
Drawn Into Dispute With the
Present Administration.

Boston, Feb. 27.-Although Colonel
Roosevelt has declared his intention of
making straight out" fight for the
presidential nomination, he let it be
known to-day that he would not be
drawn into personal controversy with
tho present administration. The col
ohel was angered by the statements
published this morning to the effect that
he said President Taft was not pro-
gressive. He said in his political con-
fertnces since yesterday, during which
he was reported to have made the state
ment, that President Tafts name was
not mentioned and that his opinion in
regard to the administration had not
been asked or expressed. The colonel
repeated his statement that he had not
taken his present position for person
al reasons. He talked politics this morn
ing with Governor Bass of New Hamp-
shire and score of other men from
the Granite state.

Through Streets Without
Interruption.

FL Paso, Tex, Feb. 27.-The advance
of the rebel army from Peace Grove upon

opened fire. The defenders replied to
the fire of the invaders, who made an
entrance along the irrigation ditch lead

TO REMAIN ON FENCE.
Senator Lodge Can't See His Way Clear
to Support Roosevelt.

Washington, ID. c.. Feb. 27-Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, Theodore Roosc-
velt's intimate friend and close counselor,
issued statement last night. saying
that because OF their lifelong friendship
he could not personally oppose the colo.
mel and therefore would take no part
whatever in the campaign for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination. Senator
Lodge also declared his opposition to the
constitutional changes which Mr.. Roose
welt advocated in his Columbus speech
Colonel Rooseyelt's announcement that
he is candidate was received in Wash
ington with eomplexity of feelings, 1t
was the basis of many happenings.
At the White House, as when the news
was first received Sunday night, no form-
al statement was evoked, In Congress it
created deep impression. Little else
was discussed at the capitol.
In the Senate, Colonel Roosevelt's dec.
laration brought out an announcement
from Senator Rayner of Maryland that
he would address the Senate at the
earliest possible moment on the charter
Of the new democracy as outlined by
former President Roosevelt in his speech
at Columbus" Mr.. Rayner probably viii
speak on Wednesday. His antagonism
to Mr.. Roosevelt has often been shown
in that chamber.
Senator Clapp of Minnesota, progress
sive Republican, succeeded in getting per-
mission to have the Columbus speech
printed as public document, but not
before the Senate had INDUCED in a
lively colloquy along political lines.

Mutual Concessions to Form
Basis of Settlement
100000 MEN CONCERNED
They Are Scheduled to Quit Work March
] if New Agreement Is Not Decided
on Before That Time, But There
Is a Hopeful Sign.

London Feb. 27.--An early settlement
to fix the dispute in the coal trade which
has threatened to throw nearly l,OOO,O0t
miners out of employment on March
apparently is more than probable. II
cannot yet be definitely announced, but
mutual concessions form basis to ex-
pedite settlement.
One hopeful feature of the crisis is the
absence of excitement or violence on the
part of the responsible leaders OF the
men. No objections have been raised
to the employers securing the necessary
labor to keep the pits open during the
strike.
Even in South Wales, where the con-
troversy has been the bitterest, this ar
rangement has been made, and the South
Wales miners federation issued an ap-
peal last night to the men not to go on
the colliery premises and to abstain from
doing damage in event OF a strike.
Unless the owners agree to concede a
minimum wage, on which the miners or
all sections are infexible, a national
strike would seem inevitable, but there
is undoubtedly an optimistic feeling
abroad that the government practically
has succeeded in persuading the owners
to yield for a few months at least. Il
is believed in some quarters that the
government has undertaken to reim-
burse them, if yielding on this impor-
tant point results in any loss, but it
is all matter of surmise.

FARMHOUSE WAS DESTROYED
But Barns on the Mortimer Place Were
Saved Yesterday Afternoon.

Fire, the origin of which is ascribed
to a defective chimney, destroyed the
farmhouse on the so called Mortimer
place on Beekley hill in the town yes
terday afternoon, entailing loss of
nearly $1,000 to the owner, A. Tomasi,
who acquired the property several years
ago. A telephone message to the cen
trail fire station in this city summoned
two of the regulars, who drove to Beck
lev hill with the hook and ladder horses
and quantity of chemicals. Firemen
Carpenter and Smith arrived too late
TO save the house, but devoted their
time to protecting barns located across
the road from the burning building.

cal prominence few weeks ago, when
Michael Manning, cook employed by
Mr. Tomasi for a gang of lumbermen
quartered at the house, committed sui
side by hanging, in a second floor closet
while the laborers were absent in il
nearby lumber woods The structure
had stood for many years and was con
sequently consumed rapidly, once the
fire gained a Roadway. A painter em-
ployed about the premises was the first
to discover flames issuing from the roof
aHi he Immediately spread the alarm.
Dir 0. +. Barr and Alex. Emslie Of this
city, who were approaching the house
at the time FASTENED to the scene and
rendered valuable aid in salvaging some
OF the contents. The woodmen work.
ing short distance from the house also
heard the alarm and helped to remove
a part of the household goods from the
burning building.
Owing to the fact that the house was
occupied only temporarily by the wood
cutters. the loss in furniture will be
slight. Except for a few rooms, the
house wss barren OF anything valuable
and perhaps the only objects Of value
IN the building were two stoves and
several chairs. A pair Of sleds stored in
the shed adjoining the house was saved,
a considerable quantity Of ice
within the past few weeks
melted rapidly.
Last night Mr. Tomasi was unable to
say whether or not he would replace
he house by new structure. He be-
lieves that $1,000 viii amply cover the
loss, which in turn is partially covered
by insurance. The local fremen who /
answered the call for aid returned to
this city at 1880 o'clock. although the I
house was not reduced to ashes until |
late in the evening.
