ON MEETING TODAY DEPENDS QUESTION OF A COAL STRIKE

Conference of Miners and Operators in New York Is of Vital Importance to the Entire Nation.

(Continued from Pas One.) that it la useless to go over them hrl In. An Interesting Phase. The connection between the presidential campaign and the threatened strike is one of the most interesting phases of the situation. The experience of eleven years ago shows that the connection between the two is not an Imaginary one. It has been well esubllsbed by testimony in open court that the danger to the McKinleyUoosevelt ticket in 1900 forced the operators' hands in that year. There was a strike on then, and the mine owners were holding their own.but the strike w.s brought to an end by a grant of 10 per cent, increase in wages. It was known soon after that the conservative business interests of the country, alarmed lest Bryan and free silver should succeed, represented to the trine owners that a continuance of the Ltrike would endanger the Republican chances, and the persuasion was so powerful that the operators yielded.

ENGLISH MINERS OUT. LONDON, Feb. 27. All indications Jnie today pointed to the conclusion lr.t a great national coal strike would be averted and the basis of the settlement will probably be announced tofclaht. The government won a point in favor of settlement by securing the agreement of the executive committee of the Miners Federation to meet in joint conference with the cabinet memtors, representatives of the board of trade, and the mine owners. T welve thousand miners went on strike on the Nottinghamshire district today. Twenty-five thousand coal miners Joined the strike in the Derbyshire district.

NO ONE WANTS EVERY DAY TO BE SUNDAY

The First Frequently the Gloomiest Day of the Week When Your Relatives Visit You and You Sit Around, Eating Too Much.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." Thus you idly murmur as you glance out the window and behold bored-looking men wandering vaguely toward Main street and groups of persons ambling ambigiously along with no evident intention in life. They may, in turn, glance in at the v. irdow and see you sitting there. "Let me see," says Aunt Harriet, "isn't that where Sam Smith lives?" "Sam Smith!" exclaims sister Jane, "why Sam's been dead for ten years." ' Surely you must be mistaken," retorts Aunt Harriet, "why I saw him on

iLk. street Just the other day. He stopped and inquired after your health." "Nonsense, Harriet," responded sister Jane, "you've got him mixed up with somebody else. Tbe man's dead these ten years I tell you." "As if I didn't know Sam Smith!" vociferates Aunt Harriet. "What's the matter with you Jane you're getting softening of the brain." "My mind is as clear as it ever was," replies sister Jane indignantly. "I know exactly what I'm talking about gum Smith's dead." "Oh, cut it out," growls Uncle Reuben. "Nobody cares whether Sam's alive or not. So far as I'm concerned I liope he's dead he cheated me once in a real estate deal." "Well," said Aunt Harriet, "I know he died ten years ago " "And I know," avowed sister Jane, "that I saw him not longer ago than " "What are you two fussin' about," impertinently asks Johnnie who has been impressed, under compulsion, into a Sunday stroll, "Smiths' don't live there. That's where Hinkey Huntington eats grub." "Why, of course," says sister Jane, "1 do recall that Huntington's moved "Didn't I tell you he was dead!" triumphantly cries Aunt Harriet. So they wag along, diddering up one street, down another, platting out the town's social geography, until, weary with their unwonted exertions, for, vith the exception of Johnnie, their talking achievements are negligible, they return home and cast themselves down ejaculating "I'm tired to death. What a long day this has been!" Sunday is, to the average, a tiresome r-ietus between Saturday and Monday. The daily routine is interrupted. And almost everyone lives by daily routine. Ten to one you stay up later on Saturday night than usual and get up later next morning. You dawdle over a superfluous breakfast and eat more than you intended to or wanted. If you don't go to church you lounge round over the Sunday papers. You yawn Intolerably and are unaccountably Irritated by the other people In the house. "Stop slamming the door," you growl as it closes violently for the tenth time in fifteen minutes. "Well," Bays madame, "if you don't like it go to church or somewhere. I've got my hands full with getting diuner for your relations. What'd you nean by asking 'em when you know I'm driven to death with this miserable convention coming on." - "Oh, well, "you mumble apologetically, "I couldn't get out of it you know Tommy and Billy stayed there three v eeks last summer and when Cousin Nathan came in the office " "Oh, yes, always some excuse," says madame flouncing out the door. "You'd better dress for I'm in no condition to receive 'em." Later Cousin Nathan and his wife, their married daughter and her two children come in for the midday collation served at the ungodly hour of liulf past one. Since you eat dinner at six, ordinarily, and lunch at twelve, ibis anomalous meal has an unpleasant effect. You can't imagine why it

isn't announced. You wonder what's fie matter. You talk on and on and on to Cousin Nathan about tbe crops and crossly say to yourself that madame might send in Betty to entertain the married daughter. At last the family segregated in their individual rooms until the last moment since they don't want to be tolled off to talk to Cousin Nathan's ";;fe and married daughter drop casually in one by one and express the most intense pleasure in seeing those related to them by the ties of consanguinity. You repair to the dining-room and gorge. People always eat more on Sunday. It kills time and there Is a tradition that the Sunday dinner must be the elaborate one for the week. When, truth to tell, that is the particular day in tbe seven that you need less and should eat accordingly. Later you become somnolent You hear Cousin Nathan talking irJles away. You are only wakened by the entrance of Uncle and Aunt Jones, Cousin William and his wife and Harry's family made up of two sets of twins. There is no one you more cordially detest than Harry. Madame you are i-ware loathes Cousin William's wife. Uncle Jones and Cousin Nathan, who haven't spoken for years, Uncle Jones being a violent Prohibitionist and Cousin Nathan an unyielding Republican, gaze at their respective boots glumly; Conversation languishes. You glance at the clock and see it is half past four. You say a bad word under your breath. You were to meet Tompkins at the club at four. "Confound these people why don't they go!" Suddenly there is a sound of revelry by day merged into yowls and bawliups Cousin Nathan's married daughter's offspring has entered into combat with Harry's twins. The whole house is soon in an uproar and you take advantage of the confusion to move the clock on to half l-ast five. The truth is Americans have no idea what disposition to make of a leisure moment. That is, the average American who isn't a millionaire and has to keep his r.oEe more or less to the grindstone. The American Sunday, with its Puritan traditions, is a present-day anomaly. We feel, vaguely, that it is "wrong" to do a number of simple, natural things. You will feel guilty, after a fashion, if you go down to-the office on Sunday. 7 on sneak along and, if there's a side

door, go that way. You hope nobody has seen you. If you think they have you stop next day and make an apologetic explanation. It turns out, after all, they hadn't noticed you. It is a day in the average community given over to family visiting and general social penace. To uncomfortable walks about town, to unpleasant letter writing and the making of obligatory calls on people you don't care anything about. If you are a church-goer, there is the diversion of attendance upon its services. If this can be looked upon as a diversion. Oftener than not it is merely another form of distasteful activity. Or perfunctory in the discharge of its duties. With what glad acclaim is Sunday evening welcomed. How delightedly we partake of the scrappy supper made up of what's left from dinner. How our spirits lighten as the clock bpeeds on. And all because we are almost done with that gloomy interval known on the calendar as "Sunday." Sunday could and should be made

A HEW LUNCH ROOM

At Y. M. C. A. to Be Open to Women and Men.

a day of pleasure. " In a town of this size there ought to be Sunday afternoon concerts, in a theatre during the winter, in the open the while the summer lasts. Sunday should not include the exploitation of those activities which would make a work-day for anyone. But as it is now. It is neither a day of rest, of leisure, or contemplation, nor of enjoyment.

Regular meals for both men and women, served in the new quarters on the second floor of the T. M. C. A. will feature the re-openlng of the "Spa" next Monday, according to the statement made today by General Secretary Herbert S. Weed in announcing that he new lunch room had been completely overhauled, and that the association officials had secured the Misses Lillian Heckman and Elizabeth Wigmore as cooks. Lunches from eleven to one o'clock

and dinner from five until seven will 'be served in the room at the corner of Eighth and A streets on the second floor, while between meals light refreshments may be had in the old "Spa." The changes in plan of serving ,and in the lunch room were made by the association officers with the purpose of handling a larger number of dirers than formerly. They hope soon

to serve breakfast also, thus making the establishment one of the most com-I-Iete restaurants in the city. Secretary Weed asserts that there liar been quite a demand for a downtown lunch room for women, and that the Y. M. C. A. has never before been v.ble to meet this demand because of lack of space.

TRUE FRIEND He Knew What Food Alone Would Do.

Grape-Nuts

FOOD

Should Know One Another

"Three years ago my brother was suddenly attacked with acute stomach trouble that ultimately reduced him to a mere skeleton. He consulted three physicians and two specialists but they gave him no relief. "Eating ordinary food, even the smallest quantity, meant for him terrible pain which kept up until he had vomited almost all of the food up again. "Hue tried many prepared foods but not one of them seemed to help, and he said they even aggravated his trouble,, and when a friend urged him to try Grape-Nuts he bluntly refused. This friend being persistent went out and bought a package of Grape-Nuts, prepared a small amount of it and actually urged him until he ate it with sorne cream. The results were pleasantpior the first time in a long, long time he had found food that would stay on his stomach. "Not only that, but the Grape-Nuts rapidly brought him back to health. He lived on Grape-Nuts and cream the following week and nothing else and the effects were magical, and the following three months he ate almost nothing else, taking absolutely no medicine, and in that short time not only was his health entirely regained, but his weight also and today he is strong and in perfect health once more." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. When trouble comes from improper food no medicine can cure until that improper food and its effects have been corrected by a change of diet to the proper food. Grape-Nuts, being absolutely the most nourishing and the moit)digestible food in the world, worlr wonders in such times, as a ten days' trial proves.
