A pretty American girl traveling in England was sorely tried by the annoyances and stares to which she was subjected on account of her American "peculiarities.” She went into a shoe shop In London to buy a pair of shoes, and the clerk tried on innumerable pairs of veritable ‘boats,’ as she called them, much to the amusement of two Englishwomen customers seated near by. who regarded her through their •atarers’ as if she were some strange animal in a menagerie. Finally the clerk said apologetically: "We 'aven't anything narrow enough for you. miss. You see. miss, our ladies have wider feet because they walk so much, miss." The two Englishwomen smiled with the air of superiority that she had met for so long, and she felt she could stand it no longer. “Do they walk on their Lands, too?” she flashed out.

INDIANA WITHOUT A GOVERNOR

Indianapolis, June 22.—A local pa per has raised the point that Indiana has been without a governor for three days. Governor Durbin is en route to Yellowstone park to spend a week, and Lieutenant Governor Gilbert has been In St Louis. So technically at least the state administration was without a head. It is not generally known that the president pro tem of the state sen ate is third in succession among the officers of the state. If the governor and the lieutenant governor should die or resign, then the president pro tem of the majority party would succeed to the governor's chair. The president pro tem now is Senator Fred N. Matson of Indianapolis, a prominent young lawyer, who appreciates the ifcnor of the position, but who has no idea, at loast at present, of becoming governor of the state. A great many foolish reports are being sent out regarding President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers who is at the national headquarters here It is being published that he ta almost prostrated with his work and that he is on the verge of a collapse It is quite true that President Mitchell is worn with the hard work he ba? gone through with during the last few weeks, but be is not in poor health nor does there seem to be the slightest indication that be is about to be proa tested The bead of the miners’ big organization is capable of a great amount of work. He showed that when he underwent the long strain ot the anthracite strike. He Is not a roan of tremendous physique, but his long years of toll in the mines made him strong and powerful and the nervous strain has not proved too much for him yet. It is strange to say that he came out of the anthracite strike in i , hotter health than when he started In.

Phrenology. , Phrenology is usually thought to have been first expounded by Gall and Bpurzheim and to be a comparatively modern so called “science." But it ■ can be traced back to the sixteenth century at least, for in a book published at that time by “Mayster Jhe- | romeos Bruynswlcke” is a profile of a head on which are most distinctly marked phrenological attributes. "Imaginatlva” occupies the place now given on the charts to “ideality;” i "fantasia” takes the place of the modern "marvelousness,” "estimantia” of "constructiveness," while “cogitantia" Is given Instead of "hope.” The author states that the brain hath cells or chambers, and each cell contains a part of the understanding, and that these parts may be expressly seen in the figure of the bead. Phrenologists can at least disclaim against their beliefs being newfangled. — London Chronicle Hat Etiquette. Tipping the bat Is a rare thing among men when there are no women around. A few fine old fellows cherish the habit of tipping to each other and to strangers when Introduced, but ordinarily the band never touches the brim. In business offices there is no sort of etiquette. Men In the sweep and rush of business have no time to give thought to hats. But certain decencies should prevail. On entering a private office look at the bead of the occupant. If he has his bat on, keep yours on; If his hjjt Is off, remove yours. The removal of your hat is a compliment and a ' courtesy and does not indicate that you are Inferior or subservient.—New York Press. Her Age. “Madam,” replied the judge sternly, “you must answer the question. Wbat is your age?” "I was born the same year your honor was. That would make me about”— “It isn’t necessary to go into particulars.” Interposed the judge stiffly. “Gentlemen, have you any further use for the witness? You may stand aside, madam.” A Typographical Error. “I've come." said the visitor, “to see , why you called me a political jobber in your paper today." "I regret that error of the types quite as much as you.” replied the editor. "Ab! Then you didn’t mean to cal) me that?” “No. sir. I wrote 'robber’ very distinctly.”—Philadelphia Press. Rejoicins With Her. Minnie—Well. I’m glad Kit Spurlong is going to be married at last. Lutie—The tone of your voice doesn’t indicate it Minnie—But I am.

Absent Minded. “Butterfly is awfully absent minded.” “Wbat is his latest?” “He was driving a nail and hammered bis thumb. He bowled and put the nail in his mouth and tried to fling his thumb on the floor.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. i A Ruse. Mrs. Bangle—l’ve advertised for a servant for a whole week with no results. Mrs. Cumso—Well. I advertised for a good looking lady help and had thirtyfour to select from the first day.—Baltimore Sun.

He is going right anead witn his wore regardless of rumors about his health. A novel question of much genera! Interest to politicians has been brought from Brown county for the supreme court to decide. At the election last fall J. B. Seitz won for auditor over A. L. Gray, but Gray is contesting the election on the ground that Seitz paid one of his opponents 1300 to get out of the race for the nomination and that therefore he is not eligible. The ques i lion is entirely new. Politicians who have had their notice called to the case seem to be of the opinion that Seitz has not violated any of the provisions of the election laws, as there is noth ing in the statutes so far as the average party worker is concerned, to prevent a candidate from paying a man to get out of the race and give him the nomination. However, there is much curiosity among politicians to see what the supreme court will do. 1 " ■■ The woodmen's convention is over and the buildings in the downtown districts are being stripped of their decorations. And It was remarked thousands of times that the decorations for the Woodmen’s convention were the most beautiful the city has offered for many years. Washington street never was such a picturesque foreground for the thousands whe thronged it every day and night The attendance at the convention was not as large as expected, but It was an enthusiastic crowd and It made up for everything In that way. Indianapolis la getting a great reputation for entertaining. and it was said that the big convention could have been had again for the asking, but the local Wood-■ men did not feel like making another effort so soon.

BIG STRIKE ENDED Lowell Mill Operatives Have Voted to Return to Work. “Now Worship at Altar of Defeat. But Later Shall Arise and Conquer,” They Say. Great Textile Strike Began March SO ■nd Has Cost More Than a Million Dollar*. Lowell. Mass., June 22, —The textile council bundsy afternoon declared the great strike in the Lowell mills at an end. Every union affiliated with the council was represented and the vote was unanimous. Mule-splnners and loom-fixers were Included in this vote, despite statements that they would oppose a return to work. When asked for a statement. President Conroy said: "We now worship at th* altar of defeat, but later we shall rise agal i and conquer." Agert William Southworth, secretary of the agents, said; "It will be impossible to start the remainder of th* machinery so as to employ at once all who will come back. Running with an incomplete force for three weeks has disturbed th* balance that usually exists between stock and prices in the various departments. A mill may have depleted stock In certain kinds of yarn, and for that reason be unable to start all of its looms, even if the full complement ot help Is available. It is for the selling agents and the treasurers to decide, in view of the market, whether we shall attempt to run In full.” The strike began on March 30 and Involved about 17.0v0 operatives. The mills were shut down until June 1. when the agents opened the gates and the majority of the operatives went back to work. The strike has cost in wages about 11.5D0.000. It is understood that the agents will take back all the old help they have room for and will make no discrimination against the leaders of the strike movement. The high price of cotton precluded any hope of the success of the strikers' campaign for a 10 per cent increase. COUNTER GRIEVANCES Miner* Not Alone In Demands For Conciliation. Wilkesba.-re. Pa.. June 22.—When the conciliation board meets in this city on Thursday the operators will Lave grievances to be adjusted as well as the miners, and this will be a surprise to many of the latter, who believed that the coal companies had nothing to complain of. The operators will take exceptions to the many petty strikes, also that the nonunion men are being interferred with and -_at the coal output is lessened by the practice of employes remaining at home on certain days without permission. The miners will offset this with the charge of discrimination that some of the men active in the strike have not been given work siace; that the award of the commission has been violated by a change In tne condition of mining at many places wnich does not permit the miners to make as much now as before the strike, and that the operator* have broken an old custom in the Schuylkill region by having the men work an hour longer on Saturday. Among other important questions which the miners want settled will be the reduction of yardage, check weighmen. hours of labor for drivers and company hands. Death of Major Pond.

Hanna has reiterated his recent statement that he was not and would not be a candidate for the vice presidency, and if his nomination was made that he would decline to accept it He said further that his ambitions did not lie in the direction of the White House, and that nothing could induce him to alter his decision in the matter.

Herrick, whose name also has been mentioned in con nection with the vice presidency, said ■ — - ■ ■■ ■ - WW-.B ft v 1 WTWOX V WVRBTCS that his sole political ambition was tc be elected governor of Ohio.

When the refusal of the vice presi dential nomination by President Roos evelt was cited tc Mr Hanna as an 11 lustration of how public men some times change their views In such mat ters, and when it was intimated to him that the convention might force ths nomination for the vice presidency upon him. Senator Hanna said that men in public life who know him know very well that nothing can be forced upon him. TO READJUST RATES Modern Woodmen Will Increase Their Present Assessment Indianapolis.
