NEGRO CHILDREN DIE
 IN CORNERSTONE FIRE
Their Mother Was Across River, and Was Unable to Reach Them in
 Time to Rescue.

While their mother was away from the cabin and three negro children, the eldest six years old, youngest three months and the other one about three years old, left alone in the house, burned to death Sunday on the plantation owned by Mrs. John S. Sennett near Cornerstone.
 The children, it is thought, were playing wit9 the fire which had been left burning and this caused the cabin to take fire. The eldest child ran away from the house, but fell dead in the yard, only being able to go a short distance away The other two children were cremated.
 The mother of the children, all though some distance away, saw the fire, and made every effort she could to reach them, but reached the cabin only in time to find her children dead.

Senate Sub- Committee
 Raps Coal Operators
Say Affairs Even in DepIorable State in West yirginia-Came About
 Through Big Strike.

Washington, March 9.-The report of the Senate subcommittee which in vestigated the West Virginia coal strike was filed today by Senator Swanson of Virginia, chairman. His report, while characterizing condi- tions in the strike field as "most de- plorable," explains that the resolution authorizing the investigation confer red on the committee no power to recommend remedial legislation.
 The report was a general review and summary of the various reports of conditions in the Paint Creek and Cabin Creek, fields. In summing up the conclusions of the committee Senator Swanson said:
 "The conditions for many months were most deplorable. The hostility became so intense, the conflict so fierce that there existed in this dis trict for some time well-armed forces fighting for supremacy. There was much violence for some months Pitched battles were fought. Busi- ness practically ceased.
 "As the differences between the contending factions have been adjust ed amioably and as peace and conf. dence prevail, the committee does not consider it necessary to elaborate up on the many causes which produced these deplorable conditions.

Aunt Mary's house is full of won
derful old furniture-chairs, tables,
sofas and screen that belonged to
her mothers mother.
81 did not offer any of these to
Jacks WIFE" she said to me this
morning, because 1 could see that
she would rather have new things
and besides, Margie, l have always
intended you to have them"
Dear Aunt Mary, she is giving me
things that money cannot buy and
with some of the beautiful pieces of
furniture that belonged to my mother
feel that our apartment will not only
be comfy but elegant.
81 think, Margie, that perhaps we
had better pack up what things you
think you would like and we will rent
the house and sell off the remainder
of the goods before we go back" she
continued.
We were in the pantry as she spoke
and l was expressing my delight over
a genuine blue willow breakfast set,
and after-dinner service of spode and
an almost entire dinner set of antique
royal Canton.
my mothers grandfather was
sea captain, Margie, and he brought
me these from China and Japan" she
explained.
'But these exquisite spode coffee
cups that are worth more than their
weight in gold" I exclaimed.
"Those belonged to my fathers
grandmother, brought from England
as a wedding gift to her"
81 thought of that awful dinner
set which, according to Mother Wav-
erly looked like money'-and moth
ing else, that Uncle John had given
Dick and me and 1 wanted to ask
Aunt Mary if she had had any voice
in buying it, when she said, ''1 was
so much disappointed in that set of
china that Sally persuaded John to

she remarked that you probably
cared as little for secondhand things
as she did so left her to pick out
your present"
"Oh, Aunt Mary, I am heart
broken. While l feel 1 am not worthy
of your priceless spode, 1 would have
loved it better than anything that was
given me on my marriage. All your
dishes are so wonderful and the value
OF the simplest food would be en-
HANGED if eaten off of them"
well, my dear, am going to give
them all to you. l have always
thought that l should hate to give
them to anyone who would not ap-
preciate them and 1 am only too glad
to give them to you, for l know that
you will care for them as l have done.
eff you wish, you can give those
awful, costly plates and cups and
saucers that your uncle gave you to
Jack and Mary"
Aunt Mary, you're the dearest wo-
man that ever lived except my moth
er. know Jack and Mary will like
the other dishes because association
means little to either of them. They
like new things and expensive things.
You see you will be pleasing us both.
"Wen use the willowware for every
day and the others for verv formal
occasions when we want to make an
impression upon our guests. Why
even Eliene with all her money can
not show such wonderful tableware
as shall present to her the first time
she dimes with me-"
Just then Aunt Mary opened some
quantity carved chests and disclosed
the most beautiful antique Sheffield
plate my eyes had ever rested on.
