We believe at no time sine the strike
ended until the present could it be said
that all the mines in the ClH'Tfield coal

The miners of soft coal in the Cleartield
district have made a demand for an in
crease of ten per cent. They want the in
creased scale to take OBJECT OCTOBER /. The
operators, it is understood, will refuse the
demand. They state that the present con-

increase. The miners will hold a cOnyeD-

HOW THEY STAND.

The Record of the Association Clubs to
Date-The Aneghenys Holding the Fort.
By closing up so brilliantly in the East
on Thursday, the Alleghenys took a tirmer
grip on second place. Their nearest II
walls are the Brooklyns, but it will take
quite q streak::of bad luck on the part OF
the home team to allow Byrne's boys to
pass them. The C%incinnatis are not play
ing the kind of ball that would warrant
one in believing that the Louisville will
close the season worse than fourth place.
Raking the past as a criterion, the Eastern
clubs will likely take q drop on the West
ern trip. The Nets seem determined TO
hold seventhiplace, although the Baltimores
have been making 4 strong fight TO relieve
themselves of their last years position.
The following is the standing to date.

A Captiye ChiId's Story,

The full story Of little white girl
rescued from hostile Indians in Arizona,
by Mexicans, throws considerable light on
the manner in which the redskins mark
their trail Trinidad Nerdan, aged ten
years, the rescued girl, says that during
her captivity the band was almost con
stantly travelling, but always stopped for
meals. They had plenty Of tortiIlas,
coffee, beef, and nearly every day, beef
steak, Of which she was always given
plenty. She never saw any one killed,
but often heard firing, and was told that
it was bucks killing beef. She never saw
soldiers nor any one during her captlv-
ity. The nearest she came to seeing
anybody was one night when the Indians
passed SO near Magdalena that she heard
the band playing in the plaza. From
what the child further states the Indians
must have carried her over large region
Of country. at one time they were in
the mountains, where she saw large
number Of squaws. On another occasion
the band campel on the top Of high
mountain where they made big fire and
smoke. On the following night great
number of Indians came in and a man in
command, evidently Geronimo, sent
them away, five and six together, in if-
teen or twenty different directions. She
thinks there were about thirty in the band
she travelled with, but she was always
kept in the rear, and could not tell very
accurately their number nor what they
did. She was wen treated and given
plenty to eat every day. The greatest
hardship she experienced was being
compelled to ride bareback day after day
through brush and over a rough country.
She says that when the Mexicans at
tackled the Indians at saracachi, the main
body lad gone on ahead, and only about
seven or eight of the band were present.
The Indians seldom spoke to her during
her stay with them. The squaw would
not let the young men come near her.

Investigations are still going on, par
ticularly in France, with a view to utili-
zing the heat Of the sun as source OF
power and warmth. One of the most
interesting and practicable methods in
this line is that devised some time ago by
Professor Morse, of Salem, Mass, the
limitations of which, it is hoped. may
be overcome by future improvements
This device consists simply of shallow
box, the bottom of which is of CORFU
gated iron and the top Of glass. This is
placed outside the building in such a
position that the sun shines directly
upon it, the heat rays of the sun pass
through the glass, and are absorbed by
the iron, heating it to quite high tenn
perature, and, by system Of ventila
ton, a current of air is passed through
the apparatus and into the room
to be heated. By this means the air was
heated, on pleasant days, to about ninety
degrees in passing over the iron. It Is
admitted, however, that the chief diff
Guilty in all these methods of solar heat
ing, as substitute for the ordinary Or ar
tifcial means, is yet to be overcome,
being available only in fair weather;
though, in connection with the custom
ary system, solar apparatus may eff
