THE HEPS TO MEET
Annual Meeting of the U. M. W. A. in Columbus Feb. 12.
WILL THEY LEAVE THE KNIGHTS
The Treatment They lieceived at the New
Orleans Convention Kecently Has Ke-
sulted in Great Dissatisfaction, and They
Will Probably Sever Coiineetiou With
That Order.
COLUMBUS, O.. Jan. 8.—A call has been issued for the annual meeting of the United Mine Workers of America to be held in this city Feb. 12. The call contains nothing except the citation of constitutional provisions regarding the convention. A secret call has been issued to the local assemblies for the meeting of National Trades Assembly No. 135, Knights of Labor, the secret branch of the United Mine Workers, to be held here Feb. 11. The call deals with the proposed attempt of the general executive board of the Knights of Labor to reorganize National Trades Assembly No. J5, and appeals to the members to stand by the United Mine Workers.
Favor Withdrawing.
PITTSBURG, Jan. 8.—The delegates to the Columbus convention of the United Mine Workers and National Trades Assembly, No. 135, Knights of Labor, will go instructed as to whether they desire to withdraw from the Knights of Labor. This instruction was conveyed by a circular issued to the locals by the general executive board at its session at Columbus last Saturday. It is probable that all the delegates will be instructed to secede from the Knights of Labor in view of the shabby treatment which they received at the meeting of the general assembly at New Orleans. So far as the miners of the Pittsburg district are concerned they are almost unanimously in favor of withdrawing from the Knights of Labor.
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
The Carlisle Substitute Currency Bill Endorsed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—By a vote of 81 to 59 the Democratic house caucus voted yesterday to endorse the Carlisle substitute currency bill now before the house. Speaker Crisp took the lead in pi*esenting the resolution, and in vigorously urging the necessity of its adoption. The committee on rules was instructed to bring in a rule today to close the debate. Efforts to amend Mr. Crisp's resolution were voted down, one of the adverse votes showing only 13 members of the caucus favorable to an issue of bonds to retire the greenbacks.
The result of the caucus is accepted with considerable apprehension by friends of the bill, notwithstanding the passage of the resolution of endorsement. The 81 votes which the measure commanded in caucus is far short of the number necessary to pass it in the house. It is the belief, however, that many of the 59 votes recorded against the resolution will be changed now that the Carlisle bill has the prestige of the caucus endorsement. But there were several prominent leaders who asserted at the close of the caucus that the vote showed conclusively that the bill could not pass.
CONGRESS.
Hut Little Work Was Done in Either lirancli Yesterday.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—The senate adjourned shortly after 3 o'clock as a mark of respect to the memory of Representative Post of Illinois, who died Sunday.

lielieve Lemars Killed Them.
DENVER, Jan. 8.—After carefully sifting the confession of Victor Manclienaiut and Alplionse Lemars the police have readied the conclusion that Lemars murdered Lena Tappor, Mario Contassoit and Kiku Oyama, the Market street women who were strangled to death a few months ago. Manchenaint will be held as an accessory, as, according to his story, Lemars told him what he intended to do before each of the murders. The object of each of the crimes was robbery.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—Tho court of appeals of the District of Columbia Monday rendered an opinion sustaining the decision of Judge Cole in the case of Messrs.

NEW PALESTINE.
Holiday week has been a very pleasant one to most of the people of New Palestine and vicinity. Father time has brought the year 1894 to a very peaceful close, and in order to show how much the people appreciate what a smiling providence has done for them, they decided to pound the Rev. Troyer of the M. E. church in a substantial way. Flour was brought, not only by the sack, but by the barrel, and all other things accordingly. Groceries and canned fruit were brought in a generous manner, also table and bed linen with many other things too numerous to mention. Long may he and his good wife live to bless the people wherever they may be.
The Shakespeare class were to be given a reception at the once beautiful home (but now in ashes) of Mrs. C. M. Jackson on New Year's eve.

The fire engine was promptly on hand, but of no avail as they could get no water. Mr. C. M. Jackson had his feet badly burned but is getting along quite well.

A few days ago he engaged a governess, wiio has gone to White Hall, to give Mrs. Clay lessons in«deportment, music and the ordinary brauches of learning.

THE SIL.INJE CURE.
A Physician Who Says Women Hurt Their Nerves liy Talking Too Much.
"I have two or three patients who aro ill with nervous prostration, and who could be cured if they would stop talking," said a nerve specialist tho other day. "They waste their nerve tissuo as fast as I can supply it, and they are on the verge of hysterics and acute I nervous pain all the time. A woman, if she be inclined to talk too much, should time herself just as she would take medicine and allow herself only just so many minutes of talk. "Now, the other day a woman who is troubled with insomnia came into my office for treatment. She had been taking drugs. She told me about her troubles, and her tongue ran like the clapper of a farmhouse bell at dinner time.
I thought she never would let up. Finally I stopped her. 'Do you talk as much as that very often, madam?' I asked. "She drew herself up and said in an offended tone: 'This is no laughing matter, doctor, I assure j'ou. I am worn out from lack of sleep, and though my family do all things possible to divert my mind and I make calls and see people all the timo I get steadily worse. I am worn to ?. shadow. Why, last summer'— "And so her tongue rattled on until I again had to stop her. 'Now, listen to my prescription,' I said. 'Go home and keep still. Don't talk. Time your tongue waggings. At breakfast allow your husband to read tho newspaper without interruption. After breakfast sew a little in your own room. Read as much as you please. Walk long distances if you aro strong enough. Do not make any calls. At dinner talk all you please, btit spend a quiet evening. If you go to the theater, do not talk much during the play. Exerciso a little self denial. It will bo hard at first, for you aro a chatterer, but if yoa persevere you will succeed, and your nervous system will get rest.' "What did she say to that? Well, I do not think she liked it. But if she took me seriously I think I can cure her in a month. "Do I havo many such cases? Well, I should say I did. It is almost safo to declare that there never is a case of real acute nervousness unless the woman is a talker. With a man it is different. He may worry himself into insanity orcomplete loss of brain power if his business goes wrong. But the very nervous woman is seldom a worrier. She is the woman of leisure with a small family* —few in numbers, I mean—to direct. She buys their food, their clothing, hires the servants and'keeps house.' She has no real worries. But does she think she has? Oh, dear, yes! She thinks she has more to do than any other woman of her acquaintance. 'Keep quiet a few hours every day, and you will lie a well woman,' iswhat I tell half my woman patients. When I can persuade them to try it/they come back and say, 'Why, doctor, I haven't been nervous enough to fly since I began to try your queer prescript tion.' "—New York Sun.
It Went Off.
A story is told of a certain showman®: who combined with the ordinary circus performance a display of fireworks. At one town he advertised the "Battle of Trafalgar, with burning ships, blazing oceans and other magnificent effects. He drew such a vivid picture of thatgreat naval encounter that tho people from the entire countryside were attracted to see it. When the time arrived,^ tho showman brought his guiding hand to bear on the set piece, applied tho/. match in tho usual manner and retired to await results. Several minutes passed, but no battle ensued. Tho showman then stepped forward and addressed the crowd. "It has not went off," ho remarked and proceoded to investigate.
Again tho sunio result followed, andagain. "It lias not went off, ladies and gentlemen, continued the showman. "I will now show you the great earthquake of Lisbon. He gathered tho fireworkstogether and filled a barrel with them. He poured turpentine over them and. sprinkled tho lot freely with gunpowder. Onco nioro ho applied the torch, with astonishing results. Thoro was an? explosion, and when till was over he* gave a parting address. "It has went off, ladies and gentlemen, and so has three fingers of any hand. Good evening, and many thanks. Tho earthquake will not be repeated." —Pittsburg Dispatch.
Kthcl's Choice.
Amy has very beautiful hair, which curls in lovely fashion. Her next door playmate, Et hel, has straight hair and is envious of Amy's curls.
Tho other morning Ethel had been very naughty, and her mot hex", who was born in Boston, was obliged to say.: "Ethel, go directly into the other room. I am going to punish 3*011 right straight
Ethel whimpered, "Mamma, can't you punish me the curly way?" "What do yoix mean?" demanded tho mother in astonishment. "I heard Amy's papa tell her this morning that.be was going to give her a whipping that would make her hair curl, and if—if it's just the same to you I'd rather havo that kind."—Chicago Post.
