Ignobility.
When the prince found that the gol
den slipper fitted Cinderella, he was
for making thi* young person his wife
forthwith.
“But I am of ignoble birth!” pro
tested Cinderella.
"Ah?” responded the prince,lightly.
“Yea,” said Cinderella bursting into
tears, “so ignoble that when I am
married I shall probably be satisfied
with nothing less than having the en
tire wedding party photographed right
after tho ceremony!”
Now it was for the pi inae to stagger,
as under a blow.—Detroit Journal.

A gorgeous costume flashed beneath the brilliant lights
of a ball room. The queen of society is radiant to-night.
The nervous hands of a weak woman have toiled day
and night, the weary form and aching head have known no
rest, for the dress must be finished in time.
To that queen of society and her dressmaker we would
say a word. One through hothouse culture, luxury and
social excitement, and the other through the toil of necessity,
may some day find their ailments a common cause.
Nervous prostration, excitability, fainting spells, dizzi
ness, sloeplessness. loss of appetite and strength, all indicate
serious trouble, which has been promoted by an over-taxed
system.
For the society queen and the dressmaker alike, there is
nothing so reliable as tyclia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound to restore strength, vigor, and happiness.
Mrs. Lizzie Anderson, 49 Union St., Salem, N. J„ writes :
“ Dicab Mbs. Pinkham T feel it, is rav duty to write and tell you how
grateful I am to you for what your medicine has done for me. At one
time I suffered everything a woman could. I lind inUammation of the

GEORGIA’S PENSIONS
List For 1900 Goes Up 431 Over
the Number For Last Year,
THE EXPENSE IS INCREASED $24,169.
Com ml iisioner Lindsey Furnishes Figures.
Increase From New Law Will
Beach 1,600 or ;.-,000.
The expenditure of the state of
Georgia in pensions for the year 1900
shows an increase of 824,160 over the
year 1899 and a corresponding in
crease in thq number of pensioners of
431 of all classes. These are the main
points of absorbing interest to the
public, contained in the report-of Pen
sion Commissioner John W. Lindsey,
whose report for the year \vaa (Com
pleted Weduesday morning. They
are sufficient to controvert tho prevail
ing theory that the pension expendi
ture of Georgia is on the decrease and
indicate, in tact, a decided increase
A caroful estimate made by-the com
missioner from the figures furnished ;
him by ordinaries of the various ebun- ,
ties show furthermore that the appro- !
priation for the comipg year will have
to be increased between 8150,000 and
8170,000 in order to meet the claims
of the indigent widows of confederate
soldiers who have been made pension
ers by tbe constitutional amendment
pa c sed in the recent election.
Commissioner Lindsey took occasion
some weeks ago to inquire of the ordi
naries of all tbe counties bow many
additional persions the amendment
would place upon the state. In this
way it was found that the number of
eligible indigent widows would be be
tween 1,500 and 2,000
That the constitutional amendment
received tho Decessary two-thirds in
the state election goes without saying.
The returns now being consolidated in
the office .of Secretary Cook show that
tho amendment has won otot by a vote
of ten and possibly fifteen to one.
The total number of pensions paid
during the year is 11,556. as against
11,125 in 1899, show ing an increase of
that year of 431 pensions. The num
ber of entirely new claims passed on
for the first time and granted is 1,075.
Tho number of deaths siuce 1899 goes
to 644.
Last year 8652,820 was paid out for
pensions of all classes. This year tbe
amount has gone up to 8676,980, or
au increase for 1900 of 824,160.
The work of Pension Commissioner
Lindsey has been unusually satisfac
tory to the administration.
IS YOUTSEY FEIGNING!
Too XU to Appear In Court Wednesday
anil Trial Again Went Over.
Henry E. Youtsey, charged with
being the principal in the assassina
tion of Governor Goebel, of Kentucky,
was not in court in Georgetown Wed
nesday morning when his case was
called for the second day.
The announcement was made that
the prisoner was ill—too ill to attend.
The case was then carried over an
other day.
The condition of Youtzey has not
boen officially announced, but there
are many rumors that the prisoner is
either insane or is feigning insanity,
Ilis collapse in the courtroom after the
dramatic scenes of Tuesday evening
caused the wildest confusion.
The greatest iuterest. prevails in the
trial, greater than in the Howard trial.
There are many persons who believe
Youtzey is really very ill. He is an
emotional man and under the great
strain of excitement it is possible that
he is temporarily deranged.
Both the state aud the defense will
mako a bitter aud stubborn fight, and
some very sensational testimony is ex
pected before the case finally goes to
the jury.
Persons of influence and promi
nence, it is said, may become involved
in the case before the eud is reached.
Linton Again Challenges.
Sir Thomas Lipton informed a rep
resentative of the Associated Press in
London Wednesday that his challenge
was on board the White Star lino
steamer Germanic, en route to New
York. It is reported that the chal
lenging yacht will be built on the
Thames, aud that she will be named
Shamrock.
Passenger Has Yellow l ever.
A New York special says: E. Bert
weer, one of the saloou passengers of
the Ward Line steamer Havana, who
was transferred to Hoffman Islnnd
Tuesday, was taken sick and removed
to Swinburne Island hospital for treat
meut. Wednesday the case developed
as yellow fever.
Bailor Says Boodby to Troops.
General Buller bade farewell to his

vociferously.
STRIKE CAUSES
MORE RIOTING
Miners and Scabs Come Into Col=
lision Near Hazleton.
MINE OFFICER IS SHOT DEAD
Ten Rioters Are More or Less Seri
ously Hurt—Women Take a
Hand In the Fracas.
A dispatch from Hazleton, Pa., says:
A special policeman was instantly kill
ed, smother was wounded in the head,
a striker was probably fatally shot and
ten non-union men were more or less
seriously wounded at the Oneida col
liery of Cox Brothers in a clash be*
. tween the officers and 500 strikers
' Wednesday morning. The victims
are:
Killed—Ralph Mills, fifty years old,
of Beaver Meadow, one of the officers
conveyed in a special train early Wed
nesday morning from that place to
Oneida.
Wounded—George Kell nor, thirty
eight years old, of Beaver Meadow,
also a speeial officer. He received shot
wouuds in the head, but will recover.
Joseph Lesko, thirty-eight years old,
of Shepptou, a striker. He was shot
in tbe groin and will probably die.
Ten non-union men were stoned,
but only two of them were seriously
injured. They are John Vanblargin
and James Tosh, of Shepptou.
The Oneida colliery having been in
operation siuce the inauguration of
the strike, the union men at Oneida
and Sheppton, where many of the em
ployes of the Oneida and Derringer
colleries of Cox Bi others & Cos. live,
decided to close down the mine. They
gathered in groups on the streets as
early as 3 o’clock.
As the non-union men went to work
they were asked by the strikers to re
main at home. Some turned back,
others did not. Those who went to
the colliery wero stoned. Vanblargin,
one of the non-union employees, at
tempted to draw ft revolver, but the
weapon was taken from him and in
the heating ho received he had sev
eral ribs broken.
As the small mine locomotive used
in hauling coal from the No. 2 aud
No. 3 collieries to the Oneida breaker
pulled up on the road near the latter
colliery, a crowd of women blocked the
track. The women were told by Gen
eral Superintendent Kudlick to go
home. He assured them that their
husbands would get an increase in
wages and that their other grievances
would be properly adjusted. The
women refused to listen and stoned
the superintendent, w-ho was wounded
in the head.
Then the striking men and the wo
men rushed toward the No. 2 colliery.
A force of about fifty special police
men, who had been brought down
from Beaver Meadow to prevent
trouble, attempted to intercept the
mob, but they were powerless to do
anything and retired to the engine
house.
As the officers got close to the shel
ter a shot was fired. This was follow
ed by another and in a few moments
many shots rang through the air.
Policeman Mills was the first to fall.
Then Joseph Lcsko, a striker, stag
gered to the ground. No one knows
who shot first, but it is believed that
both the strikers and the officers used
their weapons. A gunshot killed Mills
and small shot struck Policeman Kell
ner. Lesko, the striker, was struck
by a ball from a revolver, with which
ail the officers were armed.
After the shooting the stiikers dis
persed. Sheriff Toole, of Sehuykill
county, iu whose territory the clash
occurred, was in Philadelphia and
could render no assistance. His chief
deputy, James O’Donell, went to the
sceue in the afternoon with a force of
men, but quiet had already been re
stored.
I mhczzler Located.
The police believe that William
Sclirieber, who embezzled SIOO,OOO
from the Eiizabethport Banking com
pany, of Eiizabethport, N. J., is hid
ing in New York city.

COAL PITS TIED DP
Strikers Have a Mammoth Parade
And Demonstration at Lattimer
MANY WOMEN AND GIRLS TAKE PART
Worßera Are Overawed By (he Hoata and
Failed to Show Up When Colliery
Whistles Blew.
A special from Hazleton, Pa., eays:
Nearly 2,000 strikers, with fifty wo
men and girls, marched into Lattimer
early Saturday morning and complete
ly tied up the two collieries of Calvin
Pardee & Cos., located at that place.
It was the greatest march that has
taken place dariDg the present strike.
The crowd was made up of strikera
from McAdoo, Audenried. Jeauesville
and Hazleton on tho south side and
from Harwood, Ebervale, Free Land
and Upper Lebigb on the north side.
The women and girls came from the
now famous borough of McAdoo.
Sheriff Harvey and a handful of
deputies were at Lattimer when the
strikers arrived, and they and the
marchers were instantly on the move.
There was no disturbance at any time.
Tha men and the women were well be
haved.
It was the most exciting day Latti
mer has had since the tragedy three
years ago. The strikers from the south
side concentrated on the back road to
the place. They had left their homes
at midnight.
The women, including “Mother
Jones,” were conveyed in wagons,
while the men walked. 2t was a little
before 6 o’clock when the 1,000 south
side men entered Lattimer, headed by
a fife and drum corps, and the women.
Tho leader of the females, who was a
pretty Polish girl, carried a large
American flag. They marched and
counter marched on the Lattimer pub
lft: road UDtil 7 o’clock, when the whis
tle blew for the starting of work at the
collieries.
A great shout went up from the
crowd as it saw that no one responded
to the call. Shortly after this a faint
cheer was heard in the distance, and
suddenly a crowd which proved
to be the north side marchers,
who had gathered on the opposite side
of the town, burst through a gate on
the further end of the company’s
property, about half a 'mile away.
They came streaming in by the hun
dreds and rushed down the company’s
property, then across the strippings
and joined the south side force on the
public road on the very spot where
the twenty-two marchers were shot by
the deputies in 1897.
The coinbiued iorees, after a short
rest, formed two by two and with the
women and girls in the lead, started
on another parade through the town.
The women marchers called the Latti
mer men black-legs and other hard
names, whole those thus assailed re
mained mute for fear of being attacked.
This was kept up until 8 o’clock, when
the marchers began to leave for their
various home towns.
Shenandoah also witnessed the big
gest demonstration ever held within
its limits on Saturday. Over 5,000
striking idle mine workers marched
through the streets and up to soldiers’
monument park, Locust mountain,
where they held a mass meeting and
listened to words of encouragement
from President John Mitchell, of the
United Mine workers of America. The
strikers came from all sections of the
anthracite coal regions, those from
nearby points marching in a body
headed by bands, while those from
remote points went in trolley cars.
President Mitchell spoke briefly and
was frequently interrupted by cheers.
His most important statement was one
informing the strikers that they would
soon meet in convention. He said:
“I wish to announce today for the
first time that in a few days a conven
tion will be called. Every mine wils
bo requested to send delegates. If
you believe a net advance of 10 per
cent in your wages is enough, then
your votes will decide the question.
If yon prefer that the strike shall go
on, Mitchell will be with you. In this
strike we must all win together or go
down together.”
Mr. Mitchell again took occasion to
dsny the charges that the strike was
■brought on for political reasons, and
'that the bituminous coal operators
were connected with it.
