COMPANY TO DINNER

Her husband had asked her to
show some kindness to a young Of
ficer of the militia to whom he had
taken a fancy. She decided to do so
at once, and dispatched note to the
gallant civiian-soldier in the usual
form in such cases. 1t ran thus:
Mrs. Potter requests the pleasure of
Captain Claims company at dinner
on Wednesday evening"
The answer came back promptly.
Here it is verbatim:

way to the White House with the
delegation. She wanted to see the
president and say something to him
about ''the cause" but the women in
charge of the demonstration didn't
want her there. And they told the
doortender not to admit her. So DR..
Mary, a pathetic figure, in her frock
coat, trousers and silk hat, sat dis
consolately on sofa and watched
the women file in and out.
President Wilson was visibly affect

The president then ordered that
the 400 workers who were still wait

mitted to enter, and they filed by him,
shaking hands.

WILSON VlSIBLY AFFECTED BY
WORKING WoMEN'S APPEAL

WdSnlnRIOng T0D. "a uSIGSd1Ou
of 400 working women called upon
President Wilson yesterday to urge
that he lend his assistance and sup
port to the cause of suffrage.
They marched to the White House,
with flags and streamers flying, and
when the column halted a committee
of twenty-five, of which Mrs. Glen
dover Evans of the Massachusetts
Trade Women's League was chair
man, entered the executive offices.
They Tired up in one corner of thef
room and half a dozen speeches,
some of them pathetic, were made to
the president.
Miss Rose WinsloW of Pennsyl-
vania, a textile worker, made deep
impression on Pres. Wilson in the
speech-making prior to the reception.
She was trembling in every limb and
her voice shook as she said she was
one of the thousands of women who
ha' given their health for the indus
ties of the country.
You are too entirely fair and
Just, Mr.. President, >" she said, mot
to realize that women have to work
for so low wage that they cannot
keep soul and body together; that it
is oftentimes a,question of the river
or the street We appeal to your sense
of Justice to give us the ballot"
Because of her excessive nervous
ness, Miss Winslow lost her voice at
this point, and the president suggest
ed to her that she wait a moment,
which interruption apparently saved
an attack of hysteria, for Miss Win
slow, with a nervous laugh, replied:
81 am just so nervous can hardly
say what want to. You see don't

But then all presidents are hui

everyone laughed.

BEET SUGAR MAKERS FACE
 GOVERNMENT INQUIRY

Washington. Aug 27-Omcfals of the department of Justice declare that in all likelihood action would be be- gun against certain big beet sugar in- terests in a few days. charging them with conspirins to fix the price of su- gar at asbnorma1ly high levels. It is the intention of the department that this action shall deal only with all legged price nanipulations in one state in the middle west
 The department of justice made this statement:
 The United States attorney in the middle west submits a detailed report of his investigation in his state and announces that he has evidence tend ing to show the use of improper meth ods by the beet sugar interests in his state in an effort to advance the price of that commodity.
 He reports that, while his state produces substantially seven times the amount of sugar that it consumes nevertheless the people are compelled to pay the highest price for sugar asked for in the United States

RECEIVERS NAMED FOR

New York, Aug. 27.-Receivers have been appointed by Federal District Court Judge Julius M. Mayer for the International Steam Pump Go, a. $39, : GOO, 900 corporation with a number of plants and subsidiaries throughout the country.
 This motion was taken by the judge at the request of, three creditors of the concern who brought g. friendly suit in equity against the corporation in order to protect it's assets from the disastrous seffects of possible insolyen- cy proceedings by other creditors.
 The receivers named were c. Philip Coleman and Grayson M. F. Murphy. They were placed under a Joint bond Of s5o.ooo.
 The International Steam Pump Co. is a New Jersey corporation, out has it's headquarters in this city. It was built up to its present size by the late Benjamin Guggenheim, who was its president until he lost his life in the Titanic disaster. The office has re- mained unfflIeds from that time. His brother, William Guggenheim, is chairman of the finance committee.

enemy's fire down. When the men in advance have secured their cover and have opened steady and effective fire, the men of the first line rush up and join them!
 They have made a slight advance and have kept the enemy's fire eff fectiveness down at the same time. The supports begin to come sups pla- toons, or companies, or battalfons, at "a time, rushing up to the firing line and taking the spaces left vacant by dead or wounded soldiers.
 The fire of the enemy is now de- rnoranzed, and the rushes are con stant-a1ways part of the attacke r,s line is going forward-aIways the swift, deadly hail of bullets keeps up Finally the psychological time comes and no professor of psychology is more alert for it's manifestati ions than the leaders of the fighting nen-and the whistles signal fix bayonets.''
 A man at a time, the attackers halt in their fire, attach the short bladed sword to the end of their rifle and continue their fire. At this point it is essential that the fire shall not let up, and only one man in each squad fixes his bayonet at time. All bay onets are fixed, officers with drawn re- volvers-sWords are left back in the camp whenever there is real fighting on hand nowadays-spring through the waiting line and lead their men in the assault on the works
 If the preliminary work has been well done, if the attackers have push ed every advantage Felentlessly tn e enemy should be fairly well 1emor- alized. His men will not wait for an encounter with the cold steel in the hands of those grim devils who have been pushing up to their position all the morning, in spite of their. utmost efforts to repulse them. The soldiers of the enemy, will run like sheep
 Occasionally some stay in the trenches, but the victory Is won. The experience of soldiers snows that, if the attackers get near enough to the. enenny's lines for. a charge with bayo- nets. they have won the day The sdemoralized soldiers run back, pur- sued by the yictors. Suddenly an-. other hail of bullets begins-it is the eneny's reverse taking up the fight to cover the retreat of their exhaust ed comrades.

Beards1ey's own drama playlet, The Powder Mark, '' with characters assumed by local amateurs The piece was nicely staged and every performer had the lines well memor- ized- The autI1oress, in leading character inseniie part, was win some and exhibited much tl1eatric ta1- ent, both in action and Hnes. Also the work of Miss Edna vanbek, Miss Helena Pulaski and Miss Edith Cur tiss, deserves much praise. The ac- ton of Charles Billett was of the best, as was that of Howard and Wilbur Dillistin: also excellent were the parts by William Erickson, Charles Adams and Rafael Lucas.
