PRESIDENT D|Az
IS DEEPLY DISTRESSED
Grieved by Conditions in Mex

His Nephew.

Special Cablegrsm to The Star.
PARIS, November 2.-Gen Porfirio Diaz
is so deeply distressed by the latest news
from Mexico, and particularly by the
imminent peril of his nephew. Gen. Felix
Diaz. that he refuses to see any one
except two or three of his Intimate
friends at the Hotel Astoria. One of
these expressed to a correspondent the
generals regret on being unable To in-
fiuence the Mexican authorities in favor
of the mitiga ton of the sentence against
the leaders in the Vera Cruz uprising.
He said:
Don Porfirio realizes his personal pow
erlessness in the matter Whatever spirit
of magnanimity might animate President
Madero in the premises nothing his prede-
cessor could do or say or hope for could
affect the case otherwise than disastrous
ly. The notion prevailing in some quar-
ters of Mexico that Felix Diaz is simply
q puppet in the hands of his ilustrious
uncle. in whose interest the late revolt
was fomented, is utterly unfounded.
Increases the Difficulty.
Though Madero doubtless appreciates
the entire falsity of the rumor, neyerthe-
less it increases the delicacy of his
position and accentuates the difficulty
of personal Intervention by Don Poriirio.
Since he retired from the presidency he
never has entertained an instsnt's
thought of returning to public life. He Is

the first to intervene with the emperor

riage before it's consummation, but the
initial steps of this big-hearted man fall

audience room with the impression that
Francis Joseph thought favorably of his

which marred the good understanding

Crucial Test in
Lawrence Strike
Comes Tomorrow

LAWRENCE, Mass, March 3.-The
crucial test in the big textile strike
comes with the dawn of tomorrow. All
the mills have offered concessions to the

refused by the committees representing
the two organized bodies of strikers-the
American Federation of Labor and OF
the Industrial Workers of the World
Notices have been posted in all of the
mills asking the strikers to return TO
work with raise of wages commencing
tomorrow. This increase in pay, 1t is
promised, will be not less than per
cent of pay received under the fifty
four-hour law. In some cases, mainly
those who receive the smaller wages,
the increase will reach 10 per cent.
But the leaders OF the strike have ad-
Nised the workers not TO accept this, on
the ground that II Is not enough. Every
effort possible will be made by the strike
leaders to prevent operatives from re-
turning.
On the other hand, Acting Marshal
Sullivan will have his whole available

prevent Interference by the strikers with

Court SustainS Defendant in
Suit to Control Patent
Medicine Price

Justice Wright. in Equity Court No.
2, today sustained the right of James
O'Donnell, the druggist, to sell pat
ented articles at any price satisfactory
to the merchant without regard to the
price fixed on the article by the pat
entee.
The case arose out of the insistence
of Mr.. o'Donnell upon his right to cut
prices on any article of merchandise in
his store. 1t was stated in court that.
O'Donnell had been repeatedly warned
not to sell certain patented articles at
cut rates, and an injunction was asked
against him to prevent the sale of
Sanatogen, patent medicine.
Preliminary Injunction Refused.
Justice Barnard last summer, when
the suit was brought by the Bauer
Chemical Company, owners of Sanato-
gen, refused to issue a preliminary
injunction against O'DonneIl. The case
came on today for full and final hear
ing before Justice Wright, who, after
hearing counsel, sustained a demurrer
filed by Attorneys Baker, Sheehy, and
Hogan for the druggist.
The courts ground for refusing the
injunction was that license to make,
use or sell a patent article Is different
from undertaking to restrict the uses
or the price of an article which has
already become an article of com
merce through complete sale by the
patentee.
Rights of Patentee.
The patentee might undoubtedly inn
pose any restriction, said the court,
upon the price at which the article
might be sold by a ''licensee" in ori-
ginally placing the article upon the
market, but that when an article is
once sold, so that 1t has become
launched as an article of commerce,
the patentees dominion over 1t is at
an end.
The plaintiff admitted O'Donnell was
not a icensee, but had purchased the
article outright.

Few young housekeepers realize that
much depends upon the way a carpet is
swept and cleaned II 1t is expected to
wear for a reasonable time. Thick pile
carpets need special care in this respect,
and should always be swept against the
grain. A proper carpet broom should
be purchased. and only used for this
purpose.
For ordinary cleaning. a well-made
carpet-sweeper should be employed daily.
The legitimate sweeping should be done
once a week. 1t is as great a mistake
to sweep a carpet too much as too little.
Everyone who can afford to invest
three or -four dollars In one of these
patent sweepers should certainly do so,
as they are labor saving, and also do
their work right well.
A proper carpet broom costs about
seventy-five cents, and when not in use
1t should be hung from a nail, or rested
bristles upwards so as not to spoil them
During the spring cleaning all who have
lawns and gardens should take the car
pets outside, brushing them on both sides,
or, IL this be impossible, lay them across
a strong line, and beat on both sides,
using a proper carpet beater and avoid
ing sticks or anything with a sharp point.
Failing a beater, use an old tennis
| racquet, or strips of strong cardboard
| bound together with strips of old blan-
kets and busters.
Dragging a carpet pile face downwards
over a clean lawn often freshens 1t up
and brightens the surface.
When small rugs and stair carpets be-
come dingy their appearance can be much
improved by home treatment, provided
the worker does not mind giving a good
amount of elbow grease.
Get one gill of oxgan from your butcher
and mix 1t with half aSpailful of cold rain
water. Spread a portion of the carpet
on a strong table, and with a soft scrub
bing brush rub over the surface. A whit
ish lather will rise which must be
sponged off with clean rain water, and
dried with a soft cloth. Try 1t on a small
rug and see the effect.
1t is never wise to allow a carpet to
remain too long upon a floor, as dust
percolates through and In time cuts the
substance of the carpet. Neither is 1t
a good plan to have carpets or a felt
surround carried right up to the sur
base. A two or three feet wide surround
Of stained wood or parquet linoleum is
far more hygienic.
When ones carpets become stained
by some untoward accident, provided
the matter be attended to at once, and
the proper remedies applied, they need
be none the worse for the catastrophe.
Perhaps one of the most common Is a
sudden fall of SCOT, which damages the
hearthrug II not the carpet. In order
to avoid leaving a mark, cover the
whole thickly with salt, and sweep 1t up
quickly.
Ammonia will usually remove grub
by" marks caused by children's sticky
fingers or muddy boots. II its applica-
ton fades the carpet, the color can
easily be restored by rubbing with chic

A SIMPLE COUTURE

Among simple styles Of hair dressing
there is a very easy one for the girl who
has Just put her hair up. Usually she
cannot manage anything elaborate, but
IL she has been wearing her hair In a
plat down her back, all that is necessary
is to pull 1t forward along the line of
a centre parting, and conceal the tuft
at the end of the plat under a broad
bandeau of plain black ribbon or orna-
mental gallon. This gives an oppor-
tunity of p%rettily crimping the hair which
lies along the forehead in front of the
bandeau. A rather tight crimp Is con-
sidered a newer and more u~p-to-date
fashion than the loose waves of hair
which for a long time now have been
greatly admired.
Another simple way for the girl who
finds the dressing of her back hair rather
beyond her powers is to take the school
girl plat and coil 1t loosely around the
back of the head so that the lower part
rests ON the nape of the neck. This Is
particularly effective II the hair is natu-
rally long and thick and 1t Is plated
loosely and If, after being coiled around
