Strike Of Shirtwaist Makers,

NEW YORK, an. 15.-Fifty thousa and
flaming red posters, distributed In 600
girls' dress and shirt waist factories,

into the ranks of the strikers in the
garment making trades, now number.
ing nearly 200, 600.
The posters were the official call for
a strike among the dress and waist
makers who had previously cautioned
such action by overwhelming vote.
All of these employees are girls, some
of them under IA years old, and their
organizations have appointed COM
mittees to guard the idle workers
against agents of the white slave trade.
The first demand of the dress and
waist makers is mo closed DOORS"
They declare that the lesson taught
by the Asch building fire, in which
lat girls lost their lives, has not been
needed and that they are forced to
work In unsafe and unsanitary shops.

Warship To Mexico.

WASHINGTON. Ian. l5.-The cruiser
Denver has been ordered from San
Diego. CAL, TO Acapulco, Mex, where
q desperate situation ia reported, with
Americans in danger. She will sail
tomorrow and arrive at the Mexican
port In about four days, with about
27O jackies aboad and q company OF
marines.
The decision to send q warship to
protect Americana was reached early
today after alarming reports of the
activity Of rebels under Julio Radillo
had been received through Ambasss-
dor Wilson OF Mexico City.
Consul Edwards at Acapulco had
suggested that inssmuch as the Next
can commander of the town had ad-
mitted his inability to reinforce the
garrison. q warship should be sent.
The last report from Acapulco said
that refugees from every direction we're
pouring into the town, one of the most
important Mexican ports on the PACT.

approaching rebels were reported.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Feeding For Winter Euas.

To get a plentiful supply oi eggs in
winter it Is necessary to feed lots of
meat to the hens. At Cornell various
experiments were made in feedin:
cOckerels and pulletS on a meat ration.
The cOckerels gained over ST per cent
more than those fed on other rations.
while the pullets commenced to lay
eight weeks earlier than those fed
without meat. The great trouble with
farmers Is that they are apt to feed
their chickens just one kind of feed
because they happen to have raised a
crop Of corn or a crop of wheat. says
the Kansas Farmer. 1t would be
much better for them to sell a part of
the corn or wheat and buy other grains
or meat scraps SO as to give their fowls
a more balanced ration. And espe-
cially is this necessary in the winter,
when the hen is deprived Of the bugs
and insects that she can get in sum-
mel time. While meat scraps will an
swer the purpose. fresh ground bone
and meat are still better. But if you
have no bone cutter boil the meat to
shreds and put into the soup some
cornmeal and bran and you will soon
see the good effects Of the rations in
the increased egg supply. To start the
hens to laying there is nothing better
than an addition of lean meat to the
ration.

Killed In Coal Mine.

MOORE, Mont, Jan. 14.-After hear.
ing the report OF j. B. McDermott,
state coal mine inspector, the coroner's
jury q the inquest held over the body
OF Chs. q. Lilly, who was killed in
the Starlight mine of the Snowy
mountains, Saturday morning, last
evening found that the accident was
entire.y unavoidable and that the
timbe:ing of the mine was up to the
requirements. MIR. McDermott states
that he found the supports In excellent
SHAPE and ever closer together than
was really required by law. Lilly had
been picking underneath Q ledge of
coal and had undermined THE ledge
for shout two feet when It caved in,
crushing him to death. It is estimated
that the largest piece of coal that
strutk him must have weighed over q
ton md the full force of the blow
struck him in the stomach, causing in.
slant death. One arm and one leg
were also msngled. The body was
founl by one of the miners, who, with
the sssistance of others managed to
release it after considerable work.

Clear Case Of Madness.

John Blank Of Ohio is a politician of
considerable influence in his state. One
evening when he was in Washington
he was invited to dine at the home of
John r. Mclean, who dabbles in Ohio
politics and costly tapestries.
Every time Mr.. Mclean hears of a
tapestry sale in Europe he peels off a
section Of his bank roll, hands it to ar
agent and tells him to blow it In on
the hang1ngs.
Blanks appetite was very poor that
night. Apparently he was in great
physical pain or felt the gnawing clutch
of a secret sorrow. When he got back
to Ohio he made this mournful an
n~ouncement:
I've always heard that John R. Nc.
Lean was a wise old guy. It's a mis-.
take. That old fellow is as crazy as a
loon. He took me in to dinner in a
room where there was absolutely moth
ing on the floor and all the carpets
were hanging on the wall."-Popular

Well Confirmed.

The Rev. Joshua Kimber, in his
"reminiscences in the Living Church,
tells the following anecdote Of the
late Bishop Horatio Porter: "He had
been journeying up the east bank Of
the Hudson river, stopping for con-
tirmation each day at adjoining par
ishes. When he reached Poughkeepsie
he saw a woman at the rail waiting for
confirmation whose face he was sure
he recognized and was somewhat ia
miliar with. He was also certain that
she had been confirmed within the
week ut another place. The bishop
whispered to her to remain after serv-
ice and said: MY dear madam, what
do you mean by coming for confirma-
ton? l am sure I confirmed you Mon
day at such a place. Did l not| She
said: You certainly did. l have been
following you up the river and have
been confirmed every day this week.
He, astonished, said, Why did you do
that? Whereupon she replied, Be-
cause l heard it was good for rheuma-
tism.'"

Fierce Cheese Eaters,

A noted writer was aboard a steam
ship at Montreal and just before the
vessel left on her trip for Liverpool
was watching the loading of an enor.
nous quantity of Canadian cheese. A
number of schoolteachers were on the
boat bound for Quebec, and these
young ladies were very much inter-
ested in the loading Of the cheeses.
One Of them asked the writer how
many there were.
THE ship takes on from $4,000 to
25,0OO cheeses every trip" he truthfully
informed her.
'How-how many people are there
on board?' she asked.
About 1000 this trip"
For a moment the young lady re-
garded him in establishment; then she
looked at the cheeses being loaded by
the hundred,
Its truly wonderful" she gasped.
II never would have believed it if |
had not seer them with my own two
eyes. And only 1900 people! Good
ness me. they must be fierce cheese
eaters"-Judge.

An Art

In German Memories Sidney Whit.
man tells these delightful stories OF
Lenbach, the famous portrait painter:
Once when asked his price for a por-
trait Lenbach answered.: "That all de-
ponds; from 10000 marks, which 1 may
ask, down to 5000. which l may be
willing to pay for the privilege of
painting an exceptionally interesting
face"
If he did not want to undertake a
commission Lenbach would quote I'm
extravagant price as a simple way out.
This happened in the cast Of a Berlin
banker. But surely that is too much
said the close listed millionaire. II
bought Il portrait which you painted of
Prince Bismarck for less than half that
price," THAT may be-" replied Len
bach quietly. 1T vas a pleasure for
me to portray him. But surely, Herr
x. without offense, you do not mag
inc that it would be al equal pleasure
to me to paint you?"

Urge A Western Man,

WASHINGTON, Jan. l4.-As the re.
suit Of Il conference held today BY a
number of western democr attic sena.
tors q letter soon will be forwarded
to Presidens-elect Wilson urging he
selection OF a far western man for
secretary Of the interior.
The meeting was called az a result
OF Representatives of western senators
who hav called on Governor Wilson.
Ihey state that be has indicated q
preference for a man from the middle
west for this position On the ground
that he would be more conserv alive
On the question of ,conserv alton of
natural resources than would q man
from either the far west or the far
east.
Rocky mountain and Pacific coast
senators make the point that men of
the middle west are just as badly in.
formed regarding the welfare of pub.
lie land states as those of the extreme
eastern states. They point out that
the interior department would be call.
ed on to deal with public lands and
Indian affairs and contend that only
western men understand them.
There are candidates for the Office
from almost all of the far western
states, and the letter will mention sev.
eral names, saying however, that the
selection of either one of the men men.
toned would be satisfactory to the
entire section.
Among those who participated in the
conference were Senators Newlands,
Meyers, Perky, Chamberlain, Smith
Of Arizona and Ashurst,
