appreciative and the various parts literally

and the local hits frequent. The hit OF
the evening was made by Dart as the

Romeo to the commissioners said that he
would have to get permit from the

The Mining Law.

The mining and ventilation law, il
it's crude state as passed by the Mary
land Legislature, gave but little en-
couragement to any one-either to the
miners II the companies operating the
mines Indeed, its operations We're so
useless that no one paid any regard to
its provisions, and the Governor at the
succeeding session of the legislature
recommended its repeal, and but for
the glazing fact that the existing pro-
visions fell short of the purposes OF
the Trainers, the bill would have been
made inactive.
The grievous complaints of the min
ers, however, kept the bill alive; the
needs of the region demanded that
some efficient bill should pass, which
would preserve the miner from op-
preston and protect the companiea
who are just and liberal to Their en-
ployees against those who are over
bearing and oppressive. To this end
a bill was drafted and passed, and ii
went into opel alton on the lst of May.
That the operations OF the new law
are just to all, is evidenced by the fact
that no complaint comes from either
the miners or the operators. Mr.. Ri
ordan, the new inspector, makes his
tour of the mines two OF three times
month, and every mine is visited The
miners are familiar with the provisions
of the BILL and Mr.. Riordan, who is a
practical miner and plain man, enters
the mines and engages the employees
in conversation, listening to any griev-
ances, and if it can be remedied he
does it. 1.-THE companies are aggrieved
and the law can be brought to bear,
the inspector does not hesitate to do
justice. ASS result, all parties being
familiar with the provisions ofthe bill
business interests join as smoothly as
tongue and groove, and there is no need
Of strikesin the region so far as justice
is concerned. The miners, therefore,
regard the bill as blessing to them,
and the kind manner in which they re-
ceive the inspector is fair indication
that they are pleased with the manner
in which he performs his Duties
Alleganian.

Can the Truth Oyertake a Lie 2

Investigation discloses the fact that
the lady reported in the Associated
Press dispatches, about Aug. 10th, to
have died in Chicago after two weeks
use of some reputed remedy for corpu-
lency, had not taken Adams Ant'-Fat,
but had used preparation put up by
a regular physician in Luzerne, Pa.
Aliens Anti-Fat is manufactured in
Buffalo. N. Y, by the undersigned.
We have already sold over 100000
bottles of it. 1t has therefore been
taken by thousands, and we challenge
proof that it has ever harmed any
body, unless the reduction of obese
persons from 20 to 60 pounds, leaving
them healthy and strong, is consider
ed misfortune. Furthermore We
hereby offer $4,000 reward for evil
dence showing that it contains poison
GUS or injurious ingredients. We
also offer $4,000 if we cannot prove
that it has reduced numbers of per-
sons as stated herein, and always
without injury. 1t is said lie will out
travel the truth anytime but we trust
that those newspapers that have mis-
led the public by saying that physi
clans attributed the lady's death to
the use of "Anti-Fat" being our trade
mark, } will correct the false impress
sion they have conveyed. by publish
