In Statu Quo.

LOUISVILLE, KY. Dec. 24-The strike
of brakemen of the l.. s. n road remains
in s'atu quo; the trains made up for the
south Wednesday still stand in the yards
with a few made up since then. The road
issued an ultimatum to the strikers last
night requiring them to report for duffy by
o'clock today or consider themselves dis
charged and for all time. This the strikers
ignored The road officials will endcavOr
TO hire new men. but thus far have not
been able to start train. No trouble has
occurred. General Manager Harahan says
he will certainly not discharge Superin-
tendent BOWS as demanded by The men.
nor will he reinstate the two discharged
brikemen. The switch and yardmen sym
paibize with the brakemen and discussed
the advisabiIity of going out. but without
result. Both sides are firm.

A Great Strike Ayerted.

PITTsBURe, Pa, Dec 24-The great
strike of the 1000 coke workers of the
Connellsville mines which was to have
been inaugurated tomorrow. has been
averted, and work will be continued
throughout the winter without Interrupt
ton A conference of workers and opera
tors was held here today. and after n
lengthy discussion compromise was
effected. By it the wages of the workmen
will be slightly advanced, and as the price
of coke is increased their wages will be ad-
vanced in proportion. The workmen
promise to abide by this agreement and will
hereafter discourage strikes. such as have
annoyed the operators for several month.
The settlement of the trouble will facilitate
the work of the board of arbitration APP
pointed to arrange the scale Of wages to be
paid the employees of the Edgar Thompson
steel works in this city. The board will
meet next week and it is expected a settle
ment will be reached before the beginning
of the year.

To the Editor OF the Ea.le.
We desire to say to the people OF Wichita
through your valuable paper, that the poor
quality of gas furnished during the past few
days has been caused by the failure of the
railroad company to furnish us with coal as
per contract, and we have been compelled to
use any coal we could secure or shut down
during Christmas week. We had laid in a
supply that filed every inch of space at our
works and had orders placed for quantity
sufficient to carry Us through the winter and
have been using every means in our pc yer
to get the railroad to forward our coal for
the past thirty days.
II money would have got the coal here we
would have had it. We deeply regret and
deplore the trouble, and only ask generous
public, whom we are trying to serve to the
best of our ability, to bear with us day or
two longer, when we will receive a large in
voice of fine gas coal which will prevent any
reoccurreuce of the present trouble
Respectfully, The Wichita Gas, Electric
Light and Power Co.

Success After Repeated Failures

What can be accomplished by perse-
verance and pertinacity was strikingly
illustrated in the career of Moses A.
Dow, the founder of the Waverly 1Iaga-
zine, who died the other day. His
motto seemed to have been, If ut first
you don't succeed, try, try again." for
he tried eight different times to estab-
lish periodical before he hit upon the
HaUerly scheme, which proved the
foundation of Il fortune amounting to
fully $2,00O,OOO at the time of his death.
Mr.. Dow was a native of New Hamp-
shire and began life as a printer in
Boston. When earning only $40 a
week as a journeyman he launched, in
conjunction with friend, a small per-
iodical, but it failed, as did also a Sec
ond venture in the same line. He met
with better success in publishing a
Millerite paper, which he disposed of
rather proftably. However, he tena-
ciously adhered to the great idea of
conducting a periodical, and his persis-
tency led to success after eight failures.
He conceived the project of the. WdU-
erly Magazine in 1850. He borrowed
800 Of one friend and $3.50 of another.
He bought type and mortgaged it, and
with the proceeds purchased the rest
of the materials he needed. He made
an agreement with six female compOs-
itors to set the types for him, by which
he was to pay them each 81 a week
down and the remainder when he was
in position to do so, he, of course
doing a great deal of typesetting him
self. At night he prepared the copy in
his own home. He also succeeded in
obtaining credit on six reams of paper
For the first five weeks of its existence
the WaUerIy sunk $40 week, but fouI
years later Mr. Dow was able to buy
four large Adams presses, and new
and complete outfit. He lived to de.
rive from his product an annual income
of $l50,000, built a costly hotel, and
left an estate valued at S2,OO0,OOO. L
is astonishing that the WaUerly should
have proved so prosperous, for its pages
have been filled each week with namby
pamby love stories and sketches, the
writer's of which received no compen
sation, but seemed satisfied with the
pleasure afforded by seeing their pro
ductions in print. The success of Mr.
Dow's periodical, however, demon
strates that there is demand for tha
sort of reading matter.
