CHARLESTON, W. Va., July 11.—Colonel R. S. Carr, formerly of the governor's staff, who was sent to Bluefield to report
011
the situation, wires that
the situation is peculiar. The miners have not yet realized that they 4iave lost, he says, and when they do so, he is led to believe, by what he has seen and heard that they will leave the field, but before doing so, will destroy as much property as possible.
They are in a great many instances well armed, and, owing to their desperate condition, will not hesitate to resort to '-almost any means to secure their ends for vengeance. One man came to Cooper's, near Bramwell, to go to work yesterday, but was marched away by two armed strikers.
Colonel Carr says the civil authorities of McDowell county are clearly in sympathy with the strikers, and will take no steps to prevent disorder or to quell it if it arises. He regards the outlook as very serious.
Outbreak Hourly Kxpeetetl.
HUNTINGTON, W. Va., July 11.—A private telegram from the Elkhorn mining region is to the effect that trouble is brewing again among the strikers and an outbreak may occur at any time. The militia here az-e expecting to be ordered out again at any moment.

'NKW YOKK, July 11.—The Cuban societies in this and other cities of tlie United States arc intensely interested in the election of a president for the Cuban republic, which the revolutionists hope to create. Tlie president will take charge of the movement for independence. He will further made efforts to secure from the governments of this and other countries recognition of the insurgent force as entitled to the rights of belligerents.' $ ^Enrique Trujillo, editor of El Pouvenir, and one of the revolutionary leaders in this city, said: "We already have received ballots from seven of the 10 clubs which form the electoral college. Those w» have heard 'Oin are Ocala and Jacksonville, Fla., Vera Cruz, Mex., Kew Orleans, Chicago, Philadelphia and New York. They are unanimously in faVur of Tonkas Estrada Palm a. Tlie three districts yet to be heard from are Tampa and Key West, Fla., and Kingston, Jamaica. Wo will soon hear from thefe three, and they will, I am confident, send ballots for Mr. Palma. Tomorrow, without doubt, we can announce the election of Mr. Palma as president of the Cuban republic."
Mr. Palma is a well known and -wealthy Cuban. He has long been
identified with movements for the indopendence of Cuba. The arrival in this city of Francisco Sanchez Echcverria, a noted Cuban paiifcf triot, is regarded as most significant to the cause of Cuban independence. Mr.
Echeverria arrived by the steamer If Segurauca of the Ward line from Vera f:- Cruz, Mex. It is generally supposed :v that he will organize a filibustering ex?pedition here and shortly sail for Cuba. W?,'. Irian interview he said: "Several months ago the authorities placed me nnder surveillance, and lour days previous to the breaking out of the revoluIfj tion placed me under arrest. I was exiled with my family and took passage to Velra Cruz, Mexico. While there I organized a number of olubs in the interest of Cuban independence. Hundred* of sympathizers in the oftuse joined and enthusiastically offered themselves as volunteers for a filibustering expedition tb Cuba.

General Gonzale de Quesada, secretary of the Cuban revolutionary party in this city, has announced that a meeting of the revolutionists would be held at tlie Hardman hall in this city in the course of three or four days.
Spain and the United States.
MADRID, July 11.—Senor Sagasta, the ex-premier, during the course of an interview yesterday, declared that the Liberals would agree to pay the Mora indemity provided the United States grants indemnities for damages sustained by Spaniards during the war of secession, and provided the cortes agrees to vote the credit necessary.
El Liberal, commenting on the situation in Cuba, says the United States has loyally performed its international obligations so far as the island of Cuba is concerned.

WOMAN'S WORLD.
A DOOR DiVAN WHICH FILLS A LONG FELT WANT.

3Iiss Julia Wilbur—Chicago Women's En
terprise—Women In Public Oflice.
Although it would seem that the ultimate thought in furniture had found its expression in form before this, yet we find progressive manufacturers still putting out brand new ideas.
Here is one of those tilings that are new and yet so simple that one's first thought is: "Sure enough! Why did wo never think of that?" Chairs and sofas we have without end in variety and beauty. Every alcove and nook in every possible sort of room has been thought
of and provided for except the one place that exists in almost every house and is the one place where people are always wanting to sit—that is the doorway itself. Folding doors between communicating rooms are seldom closed. An ordinary chair within a few feet of the space never looks welL It shows its back to one room or the other and is in the way. The settee illustrated here is an addition to any decorative arrangement- of either room. It does not interfere with any graceful drapery that may be arranged at the door. It is decidedly useful, convenient and gives a certain touch of the unusual and elegant to the room. Of course it is readily rolled to some other position when it is desired to close the sliding doors. Altogether it seems a decidedly happy thought, and likely to become as indispensable as the divan in a tasteful parlor.
New York's Woman's Headquarters.
The woman's headquarters is about the newest thing in New York. It has only been in existence a few weeks, but already it bids fair to become one of the successful organizations of the city. In an interview Mrs. E. A- Johnson, the originator of the idea, said: "There seemed to be a great need for some sort of a practical headquarters, where ladies could meet or make business appointments, write letters, especially during the summer months, when most ladies close up their town houses. Already there are more applications for rooms than the supply will accommodate." It is so much pleasanter to go to the "headquarters" than to a hotel, and at last women will be allowed to enjoy the blessed privileges of a man's club. There is a messenger service in the house and telephone close at hand. A room will be reserved andean be rented by the hour or season for classes, readings, lectures or society meetings, etc. Rooms can bo engaged by tlie day, week or month, with or without meals.
The "woman's headquarters" will engage and send out servants at 50 cents a head additional to office fees and transportation. Characters of same thoroughly investigated Lief ore sending. One of the greatest features of the headquarters will bo its convenience for selecting and sending choice cuts of meats at moderate prices, the charge for which will be 15 per cent on all orders under $5 and 10 per cent
011
all orders exceeding
that amount. Butter will be made for the "woman's headquarters" and can bo sold tho year round at 10 cents a pound in print pound packages. A woman's chess club has already engaged a room for its meetings next season.—Now York Letter.
Mrs. Potter Palmer and Countess Craven.
Mrs. Potter Palmer was tho guest recently of tho Writers' club, in London, at afternoon tea. The London reporters greatly admire our countrywoman and describe with enthusiasm her "picturesque white hair and her thorough knowledge of tho art of dress." At this latest function Mrs. Palmer wore a very smart gown of cornflower bluo crepon, with bodice of lace embroidery, and becoming little toque. The reception was a handsome and successful affair and included the presence of many of London's notables.
Another American, this a New York girl, the youthful Countess of Craven, formerly Miss Bradley-Martin, is also pleasantly in the public eye over in the home of her adoption. Lady Craven has just made her first public appearance in Coventry at the opening ceremony of a charitable fair. She made, according to the accounts, a most pleasing picture as she stood in a quaint archway of greenery in front of "Ye Pylgrym's Reste," and holding the two shower bouquets presented to her by two dainty white clad little maids in a short, graceful speech declared the bazaar open. She wore a beautiful though somewhat matronly looking gown of iridescent violet silk shot with black and a biscuit colored straw toque, with. black roses, shot violet ribbon and a white esprey.
Mlu Jnlia Wilbur.,
Miss Julia Wilbur, who died recently in Washington, was a noted character. During the war of the rebellion Miss Wilbur gave up her prosperous select school in New York and came to the capital to engage in voluntary service

for the freedmen who thronged to the city in those dark days. Her sympathy went out to all, and in nursing the wounded she, like so many other women, knew
110
sectionalism. This was
bread cast upon the waters which came back to her during the early Democratic regime, when she lost the position she had held in the patent office since
1SG9.
Never was there a more conscientious and efficient clerk, and, therefore, it was
110
violation of public good that led
Secretary Lamar, when it was represented to him that she had nursed the Confederates as well as Union soldiers, to secure her reinstatement.
This position she held until her death, and on her salary of $1,000 a year she maintained a home for herself and a dependent invalid sister and had a liberal purse for the support of the woman suffrage work. Up to the time of her illness, which began in March, she had been one of the most industrious employees of the offices, although she would have been 80 years old in August, and, as her sick leave and annual vacation time were only just running out at the time of her death, she had the satisfaction of feeling, even in her helpless condition, that she was receiving the reward of her own labors.—Woman's Tribune of Washington.
Chicago Women's Enterprise.
Thirty-three of the women's clubs of Chicago—fancy what activities are conveyed in that list—have united to support "The Model Workshop and Lodging House association,'' which is incorporated for tho purpose of owning property. Dr. Sarah Haclcett Stevenson is its president. At present the lodging house is occupying temporary quarters, which, although the enterprise is new, are already proving too small for the number of women who aro availing themselves of this opportunity. A Chicago paper states that as many as 20 women, on the average, spend the night at the house, the charge being 15 cents a night, which includes a bath and a clean nightgown. Think of the comfort of the poor wayfarer with such a grateful provision as this last. There is a sitting room, which all are privileged to use, and also a library.
There is as yet no workshop, as lack of room prevents it, but women are allowed to pay for lodging by doing housework and sewing. When the workshop is established, it will furnish many different kinds of work. One of the most interesting and valuable things about this portion of the enterprise is that especial pains will be taken to work against the sweatshops. When it is possible, work is found for those who wish it. As soon as the funds are raised the association will build, but it has wisely gone to work in showing the need for its work by renting quarters first and not wraiting for a lot, bricks and mortar.—Chicago Letter.
Women In Public Office.
There are three licensed woman doctors in the summer corps of medical inspectors appointed by the board of health. All of them are youthful spinsters: Miss Mitchell, M. D., MissDeane, M. D., and Miss Weiss, M. D. The other doctors of the body offered no objection to the selection of these three inspectors, all of whom are said to be fully qualified to perform the duties of their office. Their salary is $100 a month, and we have
110
doubt they will earn it
by faithful service. It is a most laborious duty to which they have been appointed.
With women laboring for the board of health and for the board of education and for the street cleaning department, there can bo no ground of complaint that women are excluded from public office. Several of them have been anxious to get employment in the police department, and it is possible that some women are already employed there. They have sought for places this ye ir in all the municipal departments, including thoso of lav/, finance, excise uid public works, and their claims have received a full measure of attention.
Thero is no doubt that hundreds of women are as well fitted as me.u are likely to bo for public office. It is a mournful circumstance that all women do not become wives after they havo reached tho marriageable age.—New York Sun.
Daughters of Veterans of 1770.
Tlio item going tho rounds to tho effect that thero are only seven daughters of Revolutionary soldiers in tlie United States has resulted in tho development of the fact that Vermont has at least fivo daughters of tho Revolution of the first generation. Tho two venerable ladies of Bennington included in tho current item aro two sisters who married brothers named Buck. Tlie St. Albans Messenger discovered a third in tho person of Mrs. E. P. Jones of Georgia, who, in spite of her 93 years, is blessed with undiminished intellect and general good health. Tho Woodstock Standard now comes to tho front with two additional daughters of tho Revolution. The first mentioned is Mrs. Sarepta Cowen of Quechee, who is 74 years of age, and who has two brothers, Charles R. Whitman of Quechee, aged SI, and William Whitman of Brattl boro, aged nearly 79. Mrs. Betsy H. Pelton of Woodstock, who is 90 years old, is another, her father, John M. Call, having served five years in tlie war of the Revolution and two years afterward in the standing army.—Boston Herald.
A Princess* Bridal Veil.
The bridal veil worn by the Princess Helene of Orleans was of a unique design and was a marvel of exquisite beauty. It is the product of the most skillful workers at Bayeux and is a scarf of the finest white chantilly lace fully 4 yards lo%, Tjbe lower edge has a broad floral border, th^pattern decreasing in size till the portipn worn on the head consists merely of fragile meshwork. The oenter is quite plain, but on the part which fell over the train are two graceful branches uniting in a wreath of flowers. The novelty of the design is that in the center of the
wr»jath are embroidered in heraldic colors the arms of the two families in point d'Alencon. On one side is the white cross of Savoy in silver and
011
the oth
er the golden lilies of the house of Orleans on afield azure. The crown of the princes of Savoy surmounts the whole. The effect of the colors in the midst of the fine foamy lace is described as singularly beautiful. —London Lady.
Doctors of Philosophy.
Mary Engle Pennington and Miss A^ic-e M. Atkinson have received the degree of doctor of philosophy from tlie University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Pennington had previously received certificates from both the biological and college departments. I11 connection with the late Dr. John Ryder she published some interesting results in biology, and with Professor Edgar Smith an investigation
011
the atomic weight of tung
sten. Her thesis presented for the doctorate relates to derivatives of columbium and tantalum. During her entire course Dr. Pennington has been known as a thorough and accurate student, and she is probably the youngest person to receive the degree from this institution.
Washable Lingerie.
Just one word on the subject of lingerie. Those who have adopted the dual styles of underclothes cannot, of course, continue to wear black satin knickerbockers in this weather. Let them have three or four pairs made of whitewashing silk, line them with thin nun's veiling, and these can go to the wash with the regularity ever evinced by the petticoat of olden days. No other silk washes so well as this, and
110
other silk
is so light and comfortable to wear. The prettiest new petticoats are made of glace silk, with large flounces of muslin trimmed with lace, these flounces being so made that theye:ui be detached to visit the laundress.—Philadelphia Times.
Mrs. Lucie 1J. Tyng.
Mrs." Lucie B. Tyng of Peoria, Ills., has been elected on the board of school inspectors by a vote of 512 to 5. The daily papers paid a high tribute to her worth. One said, "Tlie people of Peoria generally agreed that the ward would honor itself and do the public schools a distinguished service by her election." Mrs. Tyng, in writing of the matter to Rev. Louise S. Baker of Nantucket, says, "Like many other things, it comes too late in life for me personally to enjoy, all my boys being out of school and in business, but perhaps I may be of service to some other mother's boys." Peoria is the same city that lately chose a woman for health commissioner.
Strawberries For the Face. A southern woman says that she has
found it a good plan when coming in from a drive or walk at this season to bathe the face in the juice of strawberries. It is cool and refreshing to the skin, and where the complexion is pale adds a pretty pink tinge. The water in which oatmeal and bran have soaked are old fashioned yet excellent remedies for giving a smooth skin. Some country maidens use a concoction brewed from elder flowers to remove freckles. It is less harmful and more effective than many a newfangled drug.
Miss Florence Bascom.
Miss Florence Bascom has been addftl to the faculty of Bryn Mawr college as reader in geology. Dr. Bascom is the only woman who has received the degree of doctor of philosophy from Johns Hopkins. For the past two years she has been instructor in geology at the Ohio State university. Her appointment means that next year, for the first time, Bryn Mawr will offer courses in geology.
The Hello of "tlie States."
When tho English do allow any merit to those who come out of America, they do it with a prodigal generosity. Mrs. Cursson, who was Miss Leiter of Washington, is the present object of their ad- 1 S miration. They are now engaged in telling the world through their society jour- 5 nals that Miss Leiter was the most beau- 1 tiful woman in America and tho undisputed belle of "the States."
