Savannah in April or May. Ills first
trip will be made to Boston, Con-
cord and Nashua, ~ H., leaving
Washington March II for his trip
north Although no announcement
has been made of the subjects of
the speeches the president will
make on these trips 1t is prac-
tieally certain he will not fail to
include in his addresses the recall
of judges, and possibly the initia-
tive and referendum, topics touched
upon by Theodore Roosevelt in his
Columbus speech.
A canvass of the New York sit
uation, made in conference with
William Barnes. Jr.. Vice President
sherman and other New Workers
resulted in an informal declaration
that Taft will have an almost solid
New York delegation in the ma

LEAP YEAR BALL
LAST EVENING A
HUGE SUCCESS

The leap year ball given. under
the auspices of the Knights of Py-
thias last evening, was a huge sue
cess from every point Of view.
The Knights of Pythias is pure
ly a fraternal order and not a
business club, nor a money-mak-
ing organization. They pride them
selves on their social features and
upon the reputation as being good
entertainers.
The very audacity of giving a
leap year ball during Lent, in a
month that has been crowded full
of dances, shows and entertain
ments. was so daring that probably
no one but the knights could
have made success of it.
From the start to the finish the
motto was Let the ladies do the
work, and the gentlemen were not
allowed to select the partners. The
ladies surely did their part, and
the evening was an enjoyable one,
with almost as large crowd at
3 a. m. as there was at II o'clock.
AT no dance in the history of
Tonopah has the main crowd stayed
so late. There was no Raging
allowed. no moonlight" nor Ozark
hall dances. where questionable
steps and movements could be in
dulged in, and the ladies appreci-
ated IT, relying upon the honor
and reputation OF the knights and
their guests, and without exception
took the floor and selected theii
partners They left no wall flowers
20 sit around the hall Everybody
Just had to dance. In fact. they
did better than the men usually dc
who stand around the door with the
chairs full of ladies.
Those who failed to attend this
ball, surely missed one Of the clean.
est and most enjoyable dances oi
the season. and the Knights sus
tanned their reputation of being tn,
best entertainers Of Tonopah.

LABOR STRIKE KNOWN IN MANY YEARS
Is Facing Most Serious Labor
Disturbance In Her History Govern
ment Taking Hand to End Trouble.

LONDON, March Upwards of
three-quarters OF million coal
miners had laid down their tools
and gone on strike by 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, when the day
shift in the mines ended. The large
army of striking colliers swelled
hourly throughout the morning,
when it became known that no set
tlement had been reached.
Tn delegates of the miners were
approached early yesterday morning
by Sir George Asquith with some
of his colleagues of the board of
trade and several labor members
of the house of commons with a
view of finding some way out OF
the crisis. At the same time the
coal owners gathered at the foreign
Office, where they conferred with
Premier Asquith and several mem
hers Of the cabinet Each side
now is blaming the other for the
failure of the negotiations The
miners say the coal owners did
not show a coneiliatory attitude
while the owners insist that ths

no matter what terms were offered

There is enough ore now in sight

tion plants running steadily for

would take several syears to work

the Belmont company will be pay

ment in case of necessity.
Meetings were held by the coal
miners federation and the coal own
ers association, but apparently only
resulted in a reiteration of the
participants to move from their
positions.
Further meetings were announced
but little is expected to result from
them, and as a consequence the
cabinet completed arrangements to
hurry legislation which may prove
necessary to resume work.
1t is said, with some authority,
that there is a prospect of break
in the deadlock between the coal
owners and the miners. Premier
Asquith has submitted a new pro-
posal to the miners who, It Is as
serted, have now signiied their will

owners to fall into line with the
majority on the question of the CO

The Fast About Leap Year.

As for the name leap year, "
it seems to be a misnomer, since
on leap year February, the
changabIe month, does not leap
a day, but takes on one However,
the most PLAUSIBLE tradition as to
the origin of the name is to the
effect chat the law knew but 365
days 70 theyear. and that when
every fourth year the 5295h Of
February appeared on the calen-
der it vas not counted as a day
in the eyes Of law, but was
leap" over.
The year is now Just exactly
as it was after Gregory had cor
rected it. Even after his correct
ION, however, there remains a
slight mistake, but it is so very
small that it viii amount to only
a day in $500 years. { The error
is one of excess. so it is proposed
tomake the year 1000, otherwise a
leap year a common year After
shat the calculations are so
minute that the length Of the
year will SO exactly correspond
to the earth's revolution around
the sun that it will not differ
more than day in a thousand
centuries.

Orchard and Garden.

Every time you set your feet on a

limb. It wouldn't take half so long
to mend a broken round on the ladder
as it would TO mend a broken bone.
A well known foriculturist says that
the gladiolus and dahlia can be han

cannas are more like sweet potatoes
in their requirements and must be
kept warm.
Breaking the shell Of a hard winter

1t will be found very convenient for
this purpose. 1t is easier and safer TO

The osculatory Richmond P.

The talkative Senator LafoII-

The motorist auto try Mobile
The bicyclist should do the

The average coal dealer might

The surgeon out of a job might

A Bostonian in exile might find

Never disturb the bees in Geld wealth

Bees winter better If they are given
part honey and part sugar TO live on.
There are beekeepcrs all over the
United States who, with favorable
locality and good management are

Beekeepers frequently find it nee
essary to feed few colonies during
the cold months in ordsr to save them
from starvation. As a rule, the bee
keeper who extracts honey too late in
the summer finds it necessary to sup

TO ward off heavy loss.

Looks Like Business.

An entirely unprecedent thing
occurred in Washington during
the week following the cOnyan-
ing Of the. present Congress on
Dec. 4, although the country
may have been too busy to have
noticed it.
The Democratic House met on
one Of the5ix days following the
opening day, remaining in session
throughout each day, every mo-
ment consumed in real work,
until it was time to light the
lamps.
This policy is in contrast to
the Republican custom of meet
ing or opening day, and after
remaining in session a few nom,
ents, adjourning 70 the second
day thereafter; and upon con-
vening the second day thereafter,
of adjourning to the second day
after that, and SO on, until two
full weeks had been wasted,
when adjournment would be
taken for the holidays. In the
meantime, of course, the con-
gressman's pay Of $2O.83 per day,
3I56 per week and 1928 per
month would go merrily on, the
people paying the bill.
The new policy simply means
this, that the Democrats means
business.
