AIR STUNTSJ\BOVE LINER
Coffyn Also Flies Over City, Tak?
ing Motion Pictures.
The American liner St.* Louis, which in
her day was considered a fairly fast steam?
ship, was made to look like the proverhia'.
three dimes yesterday when Frank Coffyn.
the aviator, flew over her as ahe came up
the hay. CofTya took his hydroplane out
of the basin at the Battery about the time
-*? St. Lo ?nine up the Narrow?
Ha cot under way ano flew at such a
speed that he could have made the round
trip to St. George and gone bark In timo
to get the vessel as she passed Robbln'a
Reef i
CoSjra flew over th? vessel at a height of
about 400 feet, but Hhe travelled too slowly
for him. Flying at his minimum apssfl b?
could not help tly ahe,id of her, so he
e?*ker! out the time by working skyward.
Travellers on the steamship were enthus?
iastic over his aerial antics and cheered
loud enough for him to hear tiVm
Giving up the St. Louis as a poor speed
competitor, he left the vessel and cam?
back to the Battery. There over the trees
Of Battery Park he Indulged In aerial gym?
nastic?, and, flylnR out over th?* water
a;:ain, alighted near his float In the twain.
The wind caught him as he was alighting
and almost upset his hydroplane. He was
equal to the emergency, however, and
landed without a mishap.
Coffyn made another flight In the after?
noon, describing a (treat circle oxer the
shore line of South Brooklyn and making
a trip over tho Brooklyn and Manhattan

"My. my. I've walked these nix miles

know I'm the right kind of an elephant "
Th? ponderous pachyderm picked up a
wisp of hay and threw It carelessly over
his leathery bark.
"Gee. but I'm glad to be horn* again!''
he said to the huge bulk that swayed bo?
lide him. "I wish Johnson would hurry
up and take these lanterns off me. W?h
a red light on one side and s preen one
on the other I look like an ocean llr.er.
It's a shame to be so big you have to carry

' ?0 REPLY ?O MINERS
Anthracite Operators' Comm.tte,
Prepares Refusal to Demands.
WILL COiMFER TO-MORROW
Differences in Bituminous Indus
try May Be Settled Because of
England's Need of Soft Coal.
Several hours were sp'nt by the commit?
tee of ten of tlje anthracite operators, ap
pointed several days ago to prepare a replj
In writing to the demands of the mln?
workers, at a meeting beginning at !
o'clock yesterday afternoon at No. 143 Lib?
erty street. This reply will be submlttW
by this committee to the representatives 01
the mine workers to-morrow at a ?olni
oonfaranoa in the rooms of the Trunk Um
Association. The draft of the reply wa?
pructlcally comi-'efd yesterday.
The operators' committee ronslst? of E
B Thomas, president of the I?ehlgh Val?
ley Railroad; .T T. <ak?; W. H. Triesdale
president of the Delaware. I?acknwanna A
Western t Railroad: I?. F. I.oree, presiden!
of the Delaware A Hudson Company
Morris Williams, president of the Pu*>que
? a Coal Company; Percy c Madeira,
Joseph r>i?*kson, Alvan Markie, F. P. T'n
derwood, president of th? Erie Railroad,
and George V Boer, president of the Phila?
delphia A- Reading Railroad. A sub-com?
mittee of the operators' committee of ten
will meet to-dny to complete the draft o<
the reply, and th.? committee will hold a
meeting to-morrow morning to prepare for
the conference iri the afternoon with the
representatives of fVe rnineworkcr?
W. H. Truesdale said after the meeting
yesterday that the detailed replv would
plv?. th? reasons of the operators in the
case of each demajid for refusing It. He
would not say whether ?h?* reply was so
worded as to give the opportunity to the
mlneworkers to submit a new proposition
which would pave the way to negotiations
for averting a strike, nor would he mak?
any piedlctlons as to whether there would
be a strike.
It was raid yesterdsv by dealers that all
the shipping ports were loading up with
anthracite, which people were eagerly buy?
Ing to hold for ss high prices as they
could get In ?/lew of B possible strike A
representative of a large firm of coal deal?
ers said:
"Coal brokers are getting all the coal
they can and selling It st spot prices. The
highest bidder gets It The conditions are
abnormal. The companies are shipping
the coal liberally to tide water, but there
Is such a demand for It that It changes
hands at once. The demand for boat? has
Increased the rate of freight bv water.
The freight for coal from Fall River. Which
has been as low as 4? cents a ton. Is now as
high as fl (ifi, in some cases. Th? harbor
freights have also risen from 15 and 30
cents a tor. to 25. SO and 35 cents a ton "
The Consolidated Oas Company and the
N*IW York Pdlson Company, it was said,
have a six-months' supply of coal, and the
former has made a contract for Itself an I
Its subsidiaries for the coming year at
prices ?1 little hlghi-r than It paid last year.
Hot h the companies burn more sofe, eoai
than hard coal, but their contracts are for
anthracite and bituminous c,,h1.
The conferences between th? commltt???
of the bituminous coal operators and the
miners on the demands of the latter will
begin on March 20. It wan learned that a
larg?- numoer of shl;-a were being charter? ?1
In England to come to American ports for
soft coal, which the consignees were willing
to pay high prices for. The bituminous ? tai
operators are watching the English strike
with Interest, snd It was learned that loco?
motive plants and steel plants In England
which compete with Ami..- W?ST? running
on port time or were temporarily closed on ?
account of tho strike of the English miners. ,
Tu- these and other reasons the operators
may nuke more concessions to the mlr.? rs
than they would otherwise grant In ord?*r
to keep them working while they can get
unusually high prices from English firm*

Things Kept Long Enough
xMay Come to V<se Again
While Fashions Repee
Themselves There
Will Be Economy
in Rag Bags.
By Martha McCullooh Willlsms.
Tf ragbags have truly gone ont of fashlm
mor?'s the pity, ?ay I. Piece drawers an
hox?s are all very well, but they can nev?
touch th? r?snu reef ni delight of ?he genulr
hag. stout an?l misshapen, bulging here fr
a bundle, sagging th?re over emptiness, hi
everywhere prophetic of hidden treasures.
"Look In the ragbag!" was a sort t
slogan In my youth. All sorts and cond
tions of things were ambushed th?r<
Scrap bundl?s, gingham, calico, merino, d?
laine. caehm?re, even silk and rlbbot
lengths of lace and lawn, snippet? of era
hroldery. some left-overs, some barely be
g?in or more than half done. Needs mui
stich a bag be capacious, it hung slway
at the far end of the deep closet under th
front stairway, in a city the closet woul?
likely have been turned Into a den or i
dressing room. Where one had all out
doors to build on there was no need o
skimping space, periodically the ragbai
?amo out of the closet?at the time o
spring sewing and when there came a dee]
snow In winter. No matter how troll th
i fchopped, buying every manner of needfu
accessory for our dressmaking, there vea.
BOTO to b? something left out thi ragba?
must supply. And in the snow?, what s?
great a resource as patchwork? After at
cpen wint?r?occasionally flowers bloome?;
for us in January?there were sure to b<
bits enough In the bag to piece a couple 01
quilts.
The pity of It. patchwork has gon? out oi
fashion! It beats the kindergarten a work
and a half as an education for flngeru m,i
eyes. Nothing is prettier than to see email
people eagerly interested In choosing
patches. In sewing them together properly
in matching colors harmoniously. Big,
coarse patterns, as the nine-block, c_n
have their component parts run together,
but that 1? not true patchwork. It de?
mands that the piece? shall ?ach be cut
accurately, more accurately hasted over a
paper form, then the folded edges whipped
together with fine, short stltchvs. Thus the
color sense, the finger sense and economic
instinct aie Jointly cultlvatod.
"Keep a thing ?even years and you'll find
a use for It" is a countryside proverb?
foundeil, as are most proverbs, upon Con?
crete experience. Kashiot.? and fabrics do
unquestionably repeat themselves?revolve
in cycles, as It were. To-day's modes,
however scant of skirt and short of waist,
?re outmatched by those of a little more
than a hundred years back. A woman who
lived to celebrate her diamond wedding,
having married around fifteen, told me of
her wedding gown. It wa_ m.ide from four
. yard? of the sheerest linen cambric-???
sheer when completed the garment could
be drawn through her wedding ring, it
had less than two breadths in the skirt,
which came mid-leg; had a waist belted
Just beneath the armpits, and was trimmed
around the neck, the short sleeves and th?
bottom of the ?kirt with rose tatting. With
It went buckled high-heeled red satin ?Up?
per?, white clocked ?ilk stocking?, a white
?atln belt, a fan of Ivory and watered ?ilk,
painted in Watteau ?cenes, and a veil of
elbow length. One could not, of cour??,
duplicate such an outfit from anybody's
ragbag?but the recrudescence of mode? is ,
an argument for keeping one.
Save the pleee?. the ?nippet?, th? odde
and end?. Not things outworn and tar?
nished, hopelessly past reuse?, If they are
merely faded, but aound In fabril, saving
them may'be worth while, Tn thla ?Say <*.
easy dyeing a little trouble miy t-^naform
them marvelloualy. Also, occasionally, th*
fading is an advantage?wltneaa thla record
of a friend's expedient: ?She was rraJdng a
spring frock, which had to be finished by a
time near at hand, and discovered at th*
laet minute ?he lacked the ornamental alia, '
her de?lgn required. Fate had so order?. ;
th'ng? she was forced to ?tar at home?
there waa nobody ?he could ?end to get It. j
a? ?he waa not quite sure of what ahe
wanted She turned to her ragbag In Its ?
d>*?pa sh? found a discarded aatla ouShlon
top, beautifully hand wrought, but f??_*d '
from Ita original pink to a aort of ?aimon ?
cloaelj* approaching cloth of gold. I_iid .
against the new stuff It harmonized beau- t
tlfully. There wa? enough by careful ?sut- j
ting for every need. Ae a result aha saved
several dollare?the prie* of new brocea? j
le?? handsome than the embroidery?*nd
had a garniture for her spring gown abso- '
lutely unique. Yet ehe had been anlffed at
mightily when, five year? earlier, ah? bad
washed and pressed the cushion top and
rolled It up smoothly taslde old white linea.
Another woman went to her hag. got out
a piece of brocatelle, once the out? d? of a
chair back?a chair ahe had herself re?
covered. It was faded and rusty looking,
but of wonderfully graceful design. Sh*
worked the pattern over with shaded em?
broidery silks, splotched the ground a bit
here and there, and had th? ?atl?factlon of.
knowing that her new broadcloth waa
everywhere taken to have come from Parta?
because only Paris gave ??ich adorabl*
touches ae the yoke and cuff?, band em?
broidered. A clever girl got a new linger!?
frock mostly from the ragbag by _ng_nlous
ly combining ?crap? of lac*, fancy braid
and embroidery ?he found ther-a, and
mounting them upon les? than a dollar ?
worth of Bhssr whit* lawn.
?jenulne French embroidery 1? elmoat art,
Immortelle?I mean th? thick, releed aort,
no matter how fine. Save It when th-?
original ground goes to piece*, putting all
?orta of it carefully together. Borne loieur?
time, cut out all the embroidered figure?,
using very sharp ?claaore, and put them
away in a box against the time of need.
Then, when you want a handsome blou??*?
yollc, or trimming for a corset cover, or
collar, or lace set, get your cut-oute, ar?
range the figure? gracefully upon new lac*
or lawn, sew them down all around very
carefully with ?hurt, ?mall at itch*?, using a.
fine needle and No. 100 thread, and they
will look quite as If they grew there.
Corner?. Initial? and monograme can thus
be transferred on handkerchiefs- table and
bed linen?anything, indeed. Silk embroi?
dery doe? not transfer anything like ao well
aa cotton or linen, but It cat? be done by
ualng a fine cord of gold or ?liver or SBBr

sewing over and over It with thread of Its
' own color. Spanish lace can ba thus trans

tn weak ?oapsuda, rlnae very clean, ami

make It, then dry In th* ahada and pr??s
while Bull damp. If the blueing doesn't
freshen the black of it, try stale t?*er or

POLICE STOP AN OVERFLOW
Meeting Outside Metropolitan
Temple Comes to a Halt When
a Permit Is Demanded.
Four thousand persons Jammed the Met?
ropolitan Temple, at Seventh avenue and
14th street, laat evening to hear twenty-five
objections to woman suffrage snswered in
ilv.-mlnute speeches by Lincoln 8teffens,
Miss Maude Mlnot, Mr?. Charlotte Perkins
Oilman, ?{nllln Barry and other speakers
to the number of twenty-flv?. Another
crowd outside was so Insistant for light on
the subject that a huge open air meeting
was started?only to be ?topped by the
police because the suffragists could show
no permit.
Frederick C Howe. s?nt to tslk outside
bv his wife. Mrs. Maxie Jenne? Howe, chair?
man of the Indoor meeting, got through
without interruption. So did Mis? Alberta
Hill, who went out from the platform In
her evening dress, but didn't freeze because
a kind-hearted man In the crowd flung his
overcoat around her. Mis? Elizabeth Free?
man got In a brief defence of the English
mllltants-and Just then the captain of the
precinct came along.
"Qot a permit?" he asked.
"Well?er no." confessed th? suffragist?.
Miss Freeman hopped down from the
soapbox
"We'll ?top. captain." she ?aid. 'The era
of militancy hasn't begun In America.?yet."
Every Imaginable objection to woman
suffrage was answered by the Indoor
speakers, apparently to the satisfaction of
the audience. Mr. Steffens, who was pre
I vented from coming at the last minute.
I sent his speech to be read by Miss Fol?, La
Follette. He wrote:
I It would lncresse corruption? Of cours*
! it would. Women have a lamentable
tendency to put the special interests of
women first, but w? don t disfranchise rail?
road presidents or colored voters because
they buy and sell vote*. Yea, woman
suffrage would make a bad government
! worse?for a while. But the only way-?
theoretically?to let a perfectly good gov?
ernment is to have a good king. The only
practical way to have a republic Is to have
the people vote.
Dr. Howard Woolston, who answered the
objection that women are represented by
their men folk at the polls, thought ta?
father of a family of grown daughter?
would have a hard time representing them
all.
When we talk about sheep." said Mr?*.
Oilman, in arguing that women are human
beings as much as men, and have th?
same right to help make the world better
with their votes, "when we dl?cu?s the
wool, the mutton sxid the ?tuplditv of
sheep, we don't put It on the ground of
their rani-lshness, or ?we-ishness, but Just
their sheeplshness. If you put your money
on a nee horse, does It make any differ?
ence whether it's won for you by a stallion
or a mare? There are son??* qualities
shared by both sex??. Th? fathers hav?
had the work unaided of keeping the world
straight too long."
Oeorge Mlddleton, who answered the
objection that "women ?re angel?,"
thought it wouldn't detract from their
angelic qualities to place a ballot In a box
once In a while.
"Anyhow." he said, 'I protest against
th? present unjust discrimination aaainst
my ?ex. We are compelled to do si I the
voting. It Is not fair. Men have the ballot
by divine right. Women should hav? It
thrust upon them."'
