Mr. McCall was {ll In bed at his home ia New York when be affixed his signa- ture to his letter of resignation from the presidency of the New York Life. About three weeks ago his condition became such that hls pbysivians and family deemed It advisable to remove Lim to Lakewood, where it was hoped the rest and quiet would mend the pa- tient's shattervd nerves and speed the Leveficial effects of the treatment of his pliysical disorders. During all of this time Mr. McCall worried constant- ly about bis business affairs. He was compelled first to mortgage and then to sell his handsome country place at Leong Branch, N. J, in order, It was stated, to repay to the New York Life Insurance company $285,000 on the An- drew Hamilton account, Mr. Hamilton, the legislative agent of the company, baving made no accounting for this sum. Mr. McCall bad promised when the Hamilton disclosures first were made to repay the amount named if by a certain date a satisfactory statement was pot forthcoming from Hamilton, who is now sojourning in Paris. The directors of the New York Life at the expiration of the time set called upen Mr. MeCOall for the payment of the money. He acceded to the de mands, paying $85000 in cash and giving his notes for $150,000, the latter being secured by a mortgage on his eountry place, which later he sold, sud Ject to the mortgage. Mr. McCall re- alized in all something over $300,000 for the property, which was said to have cost him just double that amount.

Mr, McCall's mental effort to shake off bis ailment was the result of the re port of the Fowler luvestigating oom- wittes, composed of directors of the New York Life, who made public thelr Sndings ten days ago. They ceusured Mr. MeCall severely for certain acts of his in counection with the legislative buredu established by him, with An. drew Hamilton at its head, An effort was made to keep the con. touts of the report from the sick man; but, learning the statéwent had been filed, be worried #0 wuch over the mat. ter that it was decided early last week to permit him to see it The recom mendations in the report demanding of him a fuller accounting of the legisia- tive work than be bad made are sald te bave been a crushing blow to the eom- pany’s former president.

Dosl Operators Will Hafise Demand E For Eight Hour Day. NEW YORK, Feb. 10—That Presi dent John Mitchell oi tie United Mins call another national conveation of miners before be can make terms with the mise operators on behalf of the an- hiracite miners was indicated by the action of the subcommittee considering the details of the demands to be made by the wen. That step by Mitchell was necessary, it was said, because of the Ryan resolution, run through the last convention, It necessary for the soft cual men to ratify any agree ment the antbracite men make with (he operators. Mitchell wants that pro- hibition removed. The committee of seven drafting the terms for m new agreement with the operators Is busy over the eight hour day clause. The contrict miners and their assistants are uot very eager for the eight hour provision. They believe that with it in force the operators mighit Insist on the Inside men working eight hours The outside wen, however, are firm for an eight hour day, because they do not think they ought to work nine hours wheu the men Inside work only about half that time for almost double the amount of pay. The operators. taking advantage of the attitude of the miners’ props, are more determined to refuse the eight bour deni¥nd. On that, therefore, It Is asserted, depends the question of strike or no strike, Amoug. the miners in the Ashland House there was an undercurrent feel ing that a big strike Is sure to come. For two years, It was learned, says the American, the mine owners have been defying President Roosevelt and the strike commission appolated at his suggestion to settle the disputes at the last strike in the anthracite region, DOLAN I8 BITTER. fohm Mitchell Aceused of Playing fo the Galleries In Labor Fight.” PITTSBURG, Feb. 19—In a state ment be made public last night Presi deat Dolan of the local district, United Mine Workers of America, scores the methods of John Mitchell, national president of the mine workers, and charges him with frying to shirk the responsibility for the position in which the mine workers are at present. Do- lar also accuses Mitchell of “playlog to the galleries” by threatening the oper ators with a national strike, but that the operators “called the bluff.” Mitch- ell is further charged with sending or- gunizars into the local fleld to defeat Dolan and that money belonging to the organization was used, The statement says: “President Mitchell is trying to shirk the responsibility for the mess he bas got the miners of this country iato by saying that I am evidently trying to divide the miners’ forces. [ am not. I am trying to save the miners from the dangers which threaten them because of Mitchell's lack of courage. Mitchell and Mitchell alone is responsible for the serious situation which confronts the miners. He got started wrong In the jolat convention and did not have the courage and common sense to make & temporary retreat when he saw he was worsted and should take up the fight along other lines. Mitchell may say I am not smart enough to write an intelligent statement, but a man does not bave to have a college education to know when be is whipped, and the op- orators had us whipped from that me- ment.” Four Killed In Mine Explosion. WILKESBARRE, Pa, Feb, 19.—4A terrific explosion occurred Io the But. tonwood mine, about two miles from this city, which caused the death of four mea. The explosion occurred In & small structure known as & timber man's shanty loeated along the gang- way a short distance from the foot of the shaft. In this shanty was stored & lot of giant powder, and this explod- ed. A number of company bands were at work In the mine, and It is thought they went to the shanty to get warm and eat their lunch. The supposition is that the beat from the steam p ignited the powder and exploded it. “Ne Danger Appareat.” NEW YORK, Feb 19—In view of the many disturbing reports Appearing In the public press concernlug the con- ditions {no Chivas and the possibility of further outbreaks snch as those at Lisnchau and Shanghai and the con- sequent anxiety of relatives and friends of missionaries in Chins, the secreta- ries of the Missionary soclety of the Methodist Episcopal church sent Ca- blegrams of Inquiry to Bistiop Bash. ford at Shanghal.

Mec- Lean at Teunaliytown, which they ure making thelr temporary headquarters, The weather was pleasant most of the day, and the couple took a stroll around the Leautiful grounds surrounding the place. The gates of the grounds were closed during the day, and there were no callers, At the reception following the wed- ding on Saturday there occurred one of the most typical Incidents of the day, something which probably no one but & young woman as original and un- conventional as young Mrs. Longworth ever would bave thought of doing. Alongside the cake was a knife, and at first Mrs. Longworth thought to cut the cake with this, but the glazing ei- ther offered inoré resistance than she expected or the knife was dull. Any- way, the cutting proceeded much too slowly for a young woman of her Im- pulsive disposition, and, gayly turniog to Major McCawley, she called out, “OL, major, let me have your sword to cut the cake with.” The major, who Ia too au fait to be surprised at anything, promptly drew his sword and, gallantly taking it by the blade, extended the hilt to her. It Bappeued to be a saber aud admirably adapted to the purpose, aud when Mrs. Longworth brandished it aloft and be- gan slashing the cake with it the slices fell right and left, and great was the scramble among her friends for It. It melted away like snow under a hot sun, and within a few minutes after the frst stroke of Major McCawley’s saber not a crumb of it was to be had. Mr. and Mrs. Longworth and thelr friends had a bit of the wedding break- fast, and then Mrs, Longworth, turning to Lieutenant UU. 8S. Grant, U. 8. A, who attended the young married couple as an ald from the time they left the altar, asked, “Have there been any cablegrams Had there been any cablegrams? Lieutenant Grant ordered them brought in and banded them to her, and the tel- egrams, which also were brought to ber, bad been copled in typewriting on letter aise paper, not one to a page, but In regular order, and the pages bulked an inch thick. There were so many that she could not possibly have found time to read them all. The young bride simply was bubbling over with joy and good humor, She seemed full of alec tion for every friend who came up to greet her and placed her band on the shoulder of every girl, kissed those whom she knew more Intimately, ex- changed little confidences with some of them and was just on the point of tell- ing & group of friends where abe was going on her honeymoon when some one occupying an official position in the White House called out warnipgly, “Oh, Alice, don't tell everything you know." Mrs. Longworth hesitated a moment, seemed on the point of asserting her new Independence and giving the se cret away, then seemed to think bet- tar of the matter and kept mum. The happy pair left the White House by the south entrance, entered a large Automobile and were driven rapidly to Friendship, the country home of John R. McLean, on the Tenallytown road, about six miles from Washington. As they entered the automobile the couple were showered with rice by Miss Ethel Roosevelt and the other children Mrs. Longworth was banded Into the car by Major McOawley. Mr. Long: worth entered on the other side, as- sisted by bis best man. The president, Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Cowles and the other members of the family stood on the steps of the White House and wav- od them out of eight. An old shoe thrown at them by one of the ushers fell on top of the automobile and stay- ed there. The automobile darted out of the southeast gate of the White House grounds at 4:10 p. mm and reached Friendship forty minutes later, Friendship is one of the “show” places of Washington. The bouse is only one of a number of country houses that were offered for their use, but It was selected for several reasons. This is the area of the old fashioned garden with box walks over 8 hundred years old that were planted when the place was first buflt. This Is a quiet and secluded spot.

At the time Town- send placed the disk inside Yale's net the score was a tle, each team having made three goals. Townsend's tally gave Harvard the victory and for an: other year the Intercollegiate Lockey chawplonship by a score of 4 goals to 8.

He was disciplined on three different occasions for foul checklug and tripping, Lut the wioulug sbot atoned for his Indiscretions and made the Harvard men wild with joy. The contest was a remarkable one In wany ways. Rough work and fast playlng prevalled from start to finish I'rlor to the openlug period odds of 2 to 1 were offered that the crimson players would win. The work of the champions up to Lalf time was ia keeplug with the betting. They out- played their opponents, and at half time they had three goals to thelr credit, while Yale had none. The first goal, which was the result of a suappy scrimmage, was scored by Mr. Newhall on a rebound of the rub- ber from the stick of Yale's goal keep- er. The second tally occurred from a triple play, In which Pell, Townsend and McLeod figured. It was the last nkwed player who caged the Fubber. Just before the balf closed Don New- hall, captain of the champions, made a-point unassisted. Confident of vic- tory, Harvard played a strictly defen sive game. It was a mistake for the crimson men, Yale, playing with bulldog te nacity, turned the tables on their ad- versaries and at the end of the second balf bad scored three goals, making A tie game. The polut makers for the New Haven colleglans were Marcus, Behr and Alling. Four extra periods were played, with no tally on either side, In the dfth and what proved to be the final period Townsend came to Harvard's rescue and by fine dodging and a good shot won the game.
