STRIKE BREAKS OUT
ANEW.

garment workers broke out anew to
day In several parts of the city after a
lull of several days.

employment , the crowd attacked them.

MAY MAKE NEW
ALTITUDE MARK
WITH 1,000-FOOT START , AVIATORS -
ORS MAY GO HIGH AT
DENVER MEET.
Denver , Nov. ] 7. Now that the suc
cess of the first days of the aviation
meet here has demonstrated that Cole
rado's high altitude and atmosphere
has no seriously detrimental effect on
the operation of aeroplanes , at least
of the Wright biplanes , it is expected
that a now world's record for altitude
will bo established before the close of
the meet here next Monday.
The probability of a new record is
! based on the fact that the aviators
have a start of nearly a mlle before
they leave the ground , leaving less
than a thousand foot climb between
them and a new altitude mark.
Whether such n record will stand as
| the official altitude mark , or bo put in
a special class , is a matter that would
probably bo determined afterward.
Hoxie , Ralph Johnstono and Walter
Brookins , nil of the Wright forces , are
appearing in the meet and J. C. Mars
of the Curtlss will arrive Sunday.
Hunt a Lost Steamer.

Winnipeg fishing stations on the boat ,
homeward bound from their season's
work.
LIFE'S DISAPPOINTMENTS
( Copjrrlebt , 1 10. )
TOLSTOI IS
STILL ALIVE
RUMOR OF HIS DEATH FOUND TO
, BE UNTRUE.
MORNING PAPERS PRINTED IT
The Count is Still Alive and Dictating
a New Article Doesn't Know the
Countess is Near Him Angered
When Son Arrived Reads Papers.
Astapova , Russia , Nov. 17. Count
Tolstoi's malady up to 4 o'clock this
afternoon had taken no definite.turn.
St. Petersburg , Nov : 17. It Aa re
ported that Count Tolstoi desires a
reconciliation with the Greek church ,
from which ho was excommunicated
following the publication of his work ,
"Resurrection , " in 1901. According to
today's papers the holy synod held a
secret session yesterday at which the
relations of the count and the church
were discussed.
Astapova , Russia , Nov. 17. The
condition of Count Tolstoi at this
hour , 11:50 : a. in. , practically is not
beyond hope of recovery. Only his
intimates wno nave been with him
since his flight from Yasnaya Pollana
are permitted at the bedside.
The author's wife and others of the
family who have como hero have
been refused admission to the room
in which the husband and father is
lying lest their unwelcome presence
excite the patient.
Tula , Russia , Nov. 17. Count Leo
Tolstoi is still alive and even said to
bo slightly improved this morning.
His condition , however , continues
critical and for many hours the symp
toms have been such as to give rise
to frequent reports that the end had
come. Such a report eminated from
Moscow last night and it was some
tlmo before its untruth could bo "es
tablished.
The aged author passed a restless
night at the home of the station mas
ter at Astapova , to which ho was
removed when illness seized him dur
ing his attempted pilgrimage from
Shamardlno to the Caucusus where he
had hoped to end his days in solitude.
At 8 o'clock this morning the count
was sleeping. His temperature ,
which was 101 last night , had fallen
to 100. The Inflammation of the lungs
was less menacing. On the other
hand the pulse was alarmingly higher
and Intermittent. The weakness of
the heart action was the cause of the
greatest anxiety and the physicians
were prepared to resort to the use of
oxygene. The case was aggravated
by. the condition of the kidneys , which
were greatly swollen and inflamed.
Hasn't Seen the Countess.
Countess Tolstoi has not been ad
mitted to the sick chamber and oven
the fact of her arrival has been con
cealed from Tolstoi lest knowledge of
her coming may over-oxcito him. The
count was not pleased when the pres
ence of his son Sergius was made
known to him.
When Sergius entered the room
and was recognized by his father , Tel
stoi was plainly angry and showed ills
annoyance by asking :
"Why did you como ? How did you
know that I was hero ? "
The younger Tolstoi pretended lie
had learned his father's whereabouts
from a railroad conductor , but the
count was not satisfied with this ex
planation.
At the same time Tolstoi was delighted -
lighted at the arrival of his friend
Count Vladimir Tschortkoff. The lat
ter remains constantly at the bedside
with the physicians and Tolstoi's
daughter , Alexandra.
Ill as ho Is , the novelist continues
conscious. His physicians have hum
ored him by allowing him to read the
newspapers and also to look over his
latest favorite book , "Hadji Murat. "
Ho has been permitted oven to dic
tate to Alexandra a part of a now
article. A crowd of press correspond
ents who have been sent to the scone
occupy the platform of the railway
station as Astapova. During the night
an attempt was made to communicate
with Astopova from hero , but the flag
station telegraph operator had retired
and when a positive denial of the ru
mor was finally secured many papers
had gone to press with the announce
ment that the noted Russian had pass
ed away.
LOWER PRICES
GALLED A FARCE
DR. WILEY SAYS THERE'S A MEAT
PACKER PLOT AT WORK
AGAIN.
Washington , Nov. 17. The so-called
reduction In the price of meats Is a
deliberate manipulation of the mar
ket , according to Dr. Harvey W. Wiley ,
chief of the bureau of chemistry of
the department of agriculture in a
statement made hero.
"The interests which manipulated
the prices upward , " said Dr. Wiley ,
"temporarily have released their hold
on our throats for the purpose of get
ting a fresh yrlp. The so-called reduc
tion In moats is fictitious.
"Its manipulation was deliberate ,
just as the increase in prices was un
just , unreasonable and uncalled for by
conditions , prevailing throughout the
country. The prices were fictitious at
the top notch because they wore
forced there arbitrarily.
"Developments will show that the
interests are after some one It maybe
bo some independent packer they hope
to drive from under cover. "
Secretary Wilson said that the an
nounced reduction in prices was ab
normal. He said it was duo to drought
in the cattle raising country , increas
ing the cost of hay. The farmer with
little on his hands must pay $35 a ton
for his hay and rather than do this he
was sending his cattle and sheep to
market. This accounted for the sud
den tumble in prices , he said.
"This tumble Is not at all normal
and will not all bo permanent , " con
tinued Mr. Wilson , "but a plentiful
corn crop and plenty of grain will en
able the farmer to feed freely and wo
should get a lower level of prices.
Lower prices are certain to come , pro
vided that somewhere between the
farmer and the consumer there is no
combination nor agreement to keep
them up. "
MARY GARDEN WORE "THEM. "
|
And New York Got Real Excited Over
the Double Hobble Skirt.
Now York , Nov. 17. A double bar
reled hobble skirt appeared on Fifth
avenue for ten very exciting minutes
yesterday , and then melted into the
Plaza hotel and was lost to view. But
the Interesting sartorial Innovation
had rather a big time during its brief
swift stroll from the Hotel St. Regis
at Fifty-fifth direct , to the Plaza , four
blocks further up. I
To all effects the frock had been !
plaited narrow from waist to ankle , |
but as the wearer hastily ran across
the avenue to escape a green motor
bus It was evident that it really con
sisted of a pair of extra narrow hob
ble skirts one for eacli leg of the
wearer.
More ttian forty women and not a
few men waited on the pavement to
see the wearer of the double barreled
toddle skirt take up her line of march
again , but seeing her audience , she
hailed a passing taxi and was whirled
to the Plaza.
And everyone gasped and said :
"Isn't It just like Mary Garden to
spring a frock like that ? "
For the wearer of the new and un-
hobbled hobble skirt was none other
than Mary Garden.
