THE STRIKE DID IT
St. Louis Millinery Goes to the Wall
With Liabilities of $48,000
St. Louis, July 11.—Adam H. Fuchs, one
of tne leading milliners here, today execu
ted a chattle deed of trust for the benelit
of oreditors. The liabilities of the concern
amount to about $18,000, but the assets have
not yet been Inventoried. Mr. Fuchs said:
“The strike was the sole cause of the
filing of the deed of trust. The stopping of
the street railway traffic has so diminished
our trade that we felt it necessary to pro
tect our creditors.”
tiruve Charges Made
Boston, July 11.—In the House debate to
night on the Boston and Albany lease,
which was passed, ex-Representative Dean
said it was rumored that the members were
receiving $300 each for their vote, but later
he said this charge was made in the heat
of debate, but that it was a common rumor
In the state house.
RADWAY’S
PILLS
SECURE
Perfect Digestion.
By their AN..T-BIBIOUS properties they
stimulate the liver In the secretion of the
bile and Its discharge through the biliary
ducts. These PJlls, in doses of from two to
four, will quickly regulate the action of
the liver and free the patient from these
disorders. One or two of Radway’s Pills
taken daily by those subject to bilious pains
and torpidity of the liver will keep the sys
tem regular and secure healthy digestion.
’’I am 120 miles from the nearest drug
store, and want you to send me a dozen
boxes of your Pills. I have muscular rheu
Satism, and for nine months have been at
ot Springs. My liver and kidneys are
affected. 1 find that your Pills do me more
good than all the medicine I have taken
And the Springs combined.
"Respectfully, W. JAMES.
"Harqua Hala, Yuma County, Arizona.”
"Your Radway’s Pills have worked won
derfully in my family. My children, when
sick, have received instantaneous and com
plete relief by their use. Sudden colds, sore
throat, I find 1 can quickly cure by the use
of your Ready Relief and Pills. They
^ should not be wanting In any well-kept
home. ‘That doubly serves what helped
you once.* Yours truly,
"DR. H. E. SCHNEIDER,

"For years I have been troubled with
rheumatism and dyspepsia, and came to
the conclusion to try your pills. I imme
diately found great relief from their use.
X feel like a new man since I commenced
taking them and would not now be without
them. The drowsy, sleepy feeling I used to
have has entirely disappeared. The dyspep
sia has left me and my rheumatism is gone
entirely. I am satisfied if any one so
afflicted will give Radway’s fills a trial
they will surely cure them, for I believe
It all comes from the system being out of
order—the liver not doing its work.

Charlotte Perkins Stetson’s Views
At Variance With Her Lite
The Charlotte Perkins Stetson craze that
has swept over clubdom and Indeed extend
ed far beyond its boundaries has made a
recent newspaper article quite widely copied
by reason of the new light in which Mrs.
Stetson stands revealed. A clever Birming
ham woman who represents both the ideal
mother and the ideal club woman, in speak
ing of the article yesterday, declared that
it should be reproduced in all the papers,
for It proved that the abnormal new wo
man did exist and that she and her incon
sistencies must be suppressed. “Mrs. Stet-*
son,” she said, “has been expressing her
beautiful theories on the duty of a mother
to her child and after bringing tears to the
eyes of her listeners, she is perfectly con
scious of her own inconsistent life in re
gard to her own child. I regard that any
woman who looks upon her husband or
children as mere incidents in her life is
lacking in the essential qualities of woman
hood, and no mother, however brilliant she
may be, as to what heights she may rise in
advocating the cause of woman, she in my
opinion is a most abnormal creature if she
regards her life hampered by her family.
I would be glad to believe that Mrs. Stet
son stands alone in her attitude to her hus
band and child, and that there are few
women who regard their children as ob
stacles to their own greatness.”
In view of the following extract from the
article that is going the rounds, it will be
interesting to know that it is stated upon
good authority that Mrs. Stetson is soon
to be married to a man many years her
junior. The engagement has not, however,
been publicly announced.
Mrs. Stetson's domestic life is written of
as follows:
“I think it was apparent to their friends
long before the separation took place that
the husband and wife were not suited to
each other, and Mrs. Stetson undoubtedly
felt within her this great power which the
burden of family cares, that had to be met
with a limited income, did not permit her
to use or exercise. So she brought her
wonderful mind to bear upon the subject,
and finally determined that her dearest
and most intimate friend, Miss Grace Eljery
Channlng of Boston, who, by the way, is a
granddaughter of William Ellery Chan
ning, the famous Unitarian preacher, would
make a far better wife for Mr. Stetson and
a better mother to the little daughter than
she herself could ever dream of being. To
think was to act. She invited Miss Chan
ning to visit her at Pasadena. She did
everything possible to promote friendship
between Miss Channlng and her husband,
and Mr. Stetson was not slow to discover
that she was a very lovely and lovable girl.
Then the matter was calmly talked over
between husband and wife; a separation
was agreed upon, a divorce quietly pro
cured, and after a suitable lapse of time
Mr. Stetson married Miss Channlng.
“But this was not the strangest part of
it all. Charlotte Perkins Stetson was pres
ent at the wedding and accompanied the
newly-married pair on the wedding jour
ney as far as New York, where they sailed
for Europe, while she commenced in ear
nest and unhampered her brilliant literary
career. The queerly-assorted pair stopped
a few days in New York, where Mrs. Stet
son No. 1 purchased clothes for her little
daughter, whom she then turned over com
pletely to the new wife, who has had
charge of her ever since. And now Char
lotte Perkins Stetson goes once a year to
Pasadena and visits her one-time husband
and his wife, who is still her deurest friend.
And this is what we may all be coming to,
if this so-called advancement' of women
goes on.
“She is the most wonderful woman in
the United States today. I do not know of
another mind to compare with her for
brilliancy and logical conclusions. But she
is the most intensely selfish person that I
have ever known. Herself, her own wishes,
desires, welfare, inclinations — these come
first always with her. What is best lor
others .even those who are near and ought ;
to be dear to her, she never considers for
one moment. And do you know', it hu$
seemed to me that between her face and her
voice there exists the strangest contradic
tion, and yet one that explains the seem
ingly contradictory nature. It is a poetic
face, you know, intense yet tender, with
an indefinable and indescribable resem
blance to the pictures of George Eliot, and
it would seem to accord perfectly with the
beautiful and wonderful verses that she
writes, and the tender and beautiful sen
timents she expresses. But her voice—that
indication of so much of one's innermost
nature—is harsh and heavy and unlovely,
and I believe that is the exponent of the
other side of her nature, that which is
selfish and self-seeking and unthoughtful
of others.”
Marriage of Miss Nelson
To Mr. Stickney
Greensboro, July 11.—(Special)—A dis
tinctly beautiful wedding occurred this
morning at 9 o’clock, when Miss Rebecca
Nelson was united in marriage to Mr. Ed
ward Leonidas Stickney.
The ceremony took place at St. Paul’s
Episcopal Church at 9 o’clock, Dr. R. H.
Cobbs officiating. After an elaborate organ
programme, "Lohengrin’s Wedding March”
announced the coming of the bride and
her attendants. First came the ushers—
Mr. J. B. Stickney, Mr. B. L. Stothmeick,
Mr. S. P. Stickney and Mr. S. D. Gully,
who took their places at the altar. The
maid of honor was Miss Margaret Erwin
Nelson. She wore a white embroidered
gown, which was distinctly smart. Her
toilet was completed by a large picture
hat and she carried a huge bouquet of
carnations.
The bride, always beautiful, was radiant,
gowned in an elegant traveling suit of cas
tar, hat en suit, with touches of pastel
blue. The bouquet was of brides’ roses
and feathery ferns. She entered the church
with her uncle, Mr. Frederick Pride Jones.
The bridal party were met at the altar by
the groom and his best man, Mr. Charles
Riggs of Chattanooga.
After the ceremony the bridal party was
driven to the railroad station, where they
bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Stickney,
as they left immediately for Montgomery
White, Va„ where they will spend the
month of July. They will go east later in
the season. The bride has been since her
debut a social queen. She is beautiful and
winsome and her comeliness of features
made her most attractive. She comes from
a long line of aristocratic ancestors, the
family being one of the most prominent in
Alabama. Mr. Stickney is a prominent
cotton buyer.
A number of out of town guests were
present at the marriage. The bride’s
mother, Mrs. Rebecca Jones Nelson, was
gowned in black silk with trimmings of :
point lace. Miss Marie Nelson of Binning
