Gustav Berg. who lived on the top floor. were
burned to death. They were Gustav Berg, forty

lieved that all had escaped from the building.
After the flames were all out, somebody sudden
ly remembered that In looking at the burning
building from the opposite side OF the street he
had seen the face and form of a woman at one
OF the front windows the top floor. and that
she nsd suddenly disappeared with despalring

MINERS AND MINE LABORERS.
Third Annual Session of D. A. 135-POints
from the Master Workmans Address.

CLEVELAND. o., Aug. 8.--The third annual
session of the Miners and Mine Laborers Ma
tional District Assembly. No. 135, is being held
in this city. Delegates are present from twenty
two States and two Territories. representing
$4,000 coal miners. The convention will be in
session a week or ten days, and the outcome
may be of national importance. 1t is openly
stated by delegates that the operators have
pooled their issues. and that the laborars would
undertake to remedy alleged evils aris-
ing from the combination. The business
OF the day was purely routine, con-
sisting mainly Of the hearing Of reports.
In his address, National District Master Work
man W. IT, Lewis said: 'It has become fas hion-
able of late for labor organizations, our own
among tho number, TO cry down and discourage
the most effective method, offensive and de-
fensive that organized labor has. as yet, learned
to use to secure their rights and the method
that is EN- ployed daily by organized capital with
success. Through the medium of their coal as
sociations, the operators OF the East and West
advance the price of coal in the markets twenty
FIVE or fifty cents per ton. regardless of the con-
sumers' ability to buy. That Is business,
and the fact is heralded through our
great dailies and copied oy our labor papers as
an evidence that the market is in good con di-
ton. The miners, through their organization,
advance the price of their labor or 10 cents
per ton and if they refuse to sell 1t for less it is
a strike aud the men who have the hardihood
TO make such q demand are expected to offer
the public an apology for the position they
have taken. and are counseled that their remedy
is education. Last month the coal pool struck
the consumer for twenty five cents advance and
struck the miner for six cent0reduction. Ii the
miner is TO be educated out OF striking. what Is
to be done with the operators"
Other officers read their reports and the con-
vention adjourned for the day.

Deterioration OF the moral obligation is, as

cherished or regarded. The responsibilities
Of social life and the proprieties VI personal

was thoughtful now becomes negligent. self
ish and Indifferent; gives himself up 10 in
dulgences, and cares not for his reputation or
that OF his family. The conceptions OF duty,
OF honor, of justice nre lost These changes
are gradual and progressive, their evolution
being largely influenced by the hereditary
traits and previous moral culture Of the in

family Is forgotten, an1 the responsibility Of
providing for and caring for others Is unielt.
The affections are not only en'eeble1, but

and peryerse and intolerable Of opposItion

Hints About Kitchen Economy.

When the kitchen dish cloth begins to
"smell like a dish rag" throw it in a
saucepan or tin bucket of hot water, put
a good lump Of soda in with it, and set IL
on the stove to take good boil. IL will
be sweet and clean when it comes out.
Certain OF the fraudulent say that leav
ing milk pans open until the milk gets
cold will remove the taste OF onion from
milk. II does nothing Of the sort. The
only thing that removes the taste is to
keep onions or garlic away from the
cows. once in milk. IL is there to stay.
Another fraud is the statement that
washing rancid butter IN buttermilk will
make it sweet again 1t doesn't help it
ono particle hancid butter has under
gone certain chemical changes and can
not be restored to its normal state. There
IS II German method of preparing
strong butter so that it can be used IN
cooking, but once rancid. or even in the
edge thereof. it is past table use.
still another imposition is the story
that when eggs are flat and won't beat
up light, pinch Of soda will make them
beat. 1t doesn't do 1t. 4 stale egg can

He CHILDREN HAVE GROWN
AWAY.

-
Nv little children have grown away.
Grown away from the land OF play,
Grown to be men and women tall,
with passions and loves and hates and all
That comes to us when we grow away
From childish play.
NV little children that were so dear,
How can help but wish them here
With arms round my neck in the old loving
way
have not known for many a day,
Not since home was my kingdom, precious
and sweet,
Those feet that lei them away from me
Into the world and over the sea,
Leaving mo here in my lonely room
That even in sunshine seems full OF gloom,
And so very lonely needs must cry
For the days gone by
I thought should be the first to go,
And I cannot but wish it might have been
But the Father OF love- who dwells in the
light,
Took some of ,ny babies out Of my sight
Took them away to his Home OF Rest
And know, though cannot tell why, twas
best.
So I'm trusting our Lord and can clearly SEQ
That in that dear land our home shall be,
And though the children have gone away
We shall meet again, oh, blessed day,
When he will call-to heaven we come
And find once more our happy home.
