DEMOS OF LABOR *FTER CONFERENCE THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY REJECTED. ANSWER SHORT UNO POSITIVE Julius Kruttschnitt Refuses Requests of Federation of Shop Em ployes After Three Hours' Consideration. San Francisco.—Late Friday night President Kline of the Blacksmiths' jnioc made the following announce ment: “Owing to the deadlock between the .'omnuttee and Mr. Kruttschnitt it is practically certain that the general .'ommittee of the unions involved will be called to San Francisco imme diately for consultation. The interna tional officials here have not receded from their demand that the feder ation be recognized. "The railroads recognize and deal with collective transportation organi sations; they should receive the shop trades on the same basis. “Joint action is recognized on fourteen railroad systems with entire success, and the Harriman lines will Cave to come to it.” Members of the general conventions.

Ga.—The man whose thievish Instincts led him into the taking of a red hot stove without the protection of asbestos has been held jp as an example of enterprise in this particular line, but he must step into second place for the man who attempt ad to steal a bee hive from E. W. Jew ett, of this city. The particular hive selected by the thief in the absence af a census of its occupants is esti mated to accommodate somewhere in the neighborhood of ten thousand bees. The hive was found just outside the gate through which it had been taken, its position indicating that it had been left in a hurried manner. When Mr. Jewett found the hive its top and bottom were both off. and the ten Ttiief Steal* Bee Hive. thousand bees were circling around trying to repair the. damage which had been done. Knowing the resent ment that bees show when people knock the top and bottom off their hives and otherwise manhandle them, Mr. Jewett is uncertain just how far the bees chased the thief before re turning home to take stock of the damages. Mr. Jewett’s theory is that the thief knocked the top off going through the gate, and the bees sallied forth and began to puncture the ma rauder, causing him to drop the hive and start an extemporaneous effort to set up a few running records.

DECLARED ALL TREACHEROUS Wife's Desertion Made Harness Maker Lifelong Enemy to Those of Her Sex—Tells Friend on Deathbed Why He Cherished Hatred. Evansville, Ind.—Soured on the fair sex because his wife deserted him in Louisville, Ky.. years ago, John Stel ler. ac;ed 67 years, before he died here made the request that no women be permitted to look upon his face after he had passed away and that they be kept away from his fu neral. “They are mischief makers and as treachert-us as a rattlesnake," the old man said on his deathbed. Out of gratitude for the man who had been his true friend and who as sisted him in his last days, Steller left a good farm in Warrick county, near here, to Joe Haas, a grocer and poli tician. Years- ago Steller came here frorr. Louisville and got employment as a harness maker. He toiled steadily al his bench, and seldom lost a day from his work. Among the large number of employes in this establishment Stel ler was regarded as eccentric. H* talked little, and to none of his fel low workingmen did he make anj mention of his past life. Most oi the men with whom he worked thought he was a bachelor, none knowing that at one time he had a happy home; that he had become a woman-hater because the wife h« loved tenderly ceased to love him, and deserted him when the hand of af fliction was laid upon him. In silence and alone Steller bore his burden—and saved his money. He had no one to live for, and cared lit tle about the companionship of his fellows. He lived alone above the John Steller. j grocery store of Haas, and not untl his last illness was the story of hi; life revealed. Steller was taken 111 and remainet In his room. He was ill for several days before any one made inquiries about him. Then Haas, who had not seen the old man for some days, went to his room and found the door lock ed. He broke in, and there found Ste! ler lying on the bed in a semi-con scious condition, from which he wat with difficulty aroused. When Steller fully realized that the end was near he told Has that h« wanted to talk over some matters with him. Then he told the grocer the story of his life. He had been married, he said, anc was happy with his wife in their home in Louisville. After their son wai born his wife asked him to deed ovei his property to her. He arranged mat ters bo that she could take control o half of it. A short time afterward he became ill with typhoid fever. Afte strangers had ministered to him, h< asked for his wife. He was told sb< had gone away. When he sent word begging her tc return to him he said she replied that Bhe didn’t love him any more anc he would have to get along with out her. Later he obtained a di vorce and came to Evansville to wort at his trade. “Now you know why I am a womai hater,” he said. “I hate them all They are a curse to the race, meddle some and treacherous 'as a rattle snake and as uncertain as life it self. “I guess It's all up with me now Before 1 die 1 want to make one re quest of you. I don’t want any liv ing woman to attend my funeral Keep them all away. They woulc only come through curiosity, any way." A short while later he was dead Haas obeyed the dying request. H« alone accompanied the undertakers tc to graveyard where the old man 'was buried.. He will erect a moo ument over the grave and pay for H himself. Besides the property left to Haas Steller had a $1,000 life insurance pol icy, payable to his son. The son die not attend the funeral. It is said he will collect the life insurance, but wil not attempt to contest the will be quea thing the Indiana farm to Haas
