THE MINERS WIN THE FIGHT
NORTHERN ILLINOIS STRIKE ENDED.
A Reduction Agreed To BY the Miners and
Liberal Concessions Made BY the OPP
erators-work Will Soon BE Re-
sumed-A Victory For the Strikers.

JOLIET, H., Sept. 2.-The conference of the
coal miners and coal operators held here this
afternoon resulted in the settlement of the
wage troubles throughout the northern Illinois
coal fields and an early resumption OF work.
excepting the mines of W. L. Scott. The oper-
ators, all of whom were represented but Mr..
Scott. gave their ultimatum about O'Clock
this afternoon, after three hours executive ses-
sion. Their terms were a reduction of IA cents
. ton: no discount on company store orders,
a reduction of so per cent in tool sharpening
in all the fields except Streator, and the sale OF
coal to the miners at the cost of putting it on
the cars. The miners considered the PROPOSE
ZION until late this evening and finally resolved
TO accept it.
The workmen desired in addition the item of
rent free during the strike and no victimizing
on going to work. The operators refused to
embody these points in the agreement but
stated privately to the miners that the result
would be as desired.

Can 1t Be Done?-A Discriminating Article
by Prof, Eldon NJ oran.
Teaching by mail, chimerial as it may ap
pear to many minds, is just as feasible, and at
the same time, as useful as steam locomotion,
electric telegraphy or the use of explosives in
modern warfare.
Passing the question whether teaching by
mail can be made to pay, we ask, can the
teacher perform his complex work and exert
that same magic influence in dealing with
pupils with whom he can neither see or hear,
and who, in turn are deprived of the personal
presence" and Giving voice. of their in
structor? Even if a written lesson should
prove e1ectual. he find time 10 write out
long explanations and make corrections once
or twice week for a large class? These priOri
inquiries are vain, however, in view of the fact
that correspondence instruction has proven a
decided success. Supt. J. NJ. Greenwood OF
the Kansas City public schools says he both
studied and taught mathematics in this way for
many years. Cheap postage, paper, printing
and engraving, last mails. numerous postofices,

short-Hnnd in Ten Lessons

The second lesson of our popular series is
here given. A genuine interest in this work is
manifested by our intelligent young readers.
CAUTIoN-You write too large. All be-
ginners do. Make your characters one-third
smaller. Use black ink and the best quality of
paper. Some practice with pencil is useful,
but pen should be used mostly.
Do not send in an exercise for correction IN
til you have spent at least two or three hours
in writing it over and over. Then state the
number of times you have copied it; also, how
many hours you have spent in practice.

he hung out near the entrance to the
iron pier, but now, after long search,
found him at shooting gallery. Irec-
ognized him at glance. In my mind !
had named him "The- Young Man-of-a-
Confiding- Nature" On my last visit he
had confided to me the fact that he had
come down from his fathers farm to
build himself up, having been disap-
pointed in love and fallen away to half
his usual weight. He had made sew
eralvigorous attempts to steal my watch,
but as l had left it in New York his eff
forts were fruitless.
"Let's see," he unused, as we shook
hands. "Where have seen you?"
what! Don't you remember? We
were in Paris together for two weeks last
summer"
"Ah! so we were! Well, old boy, how
goes it?"
We sat down on bench and conf1ded
our thoughts to each other, and then
went over to an ice-cream furnace and
refreshed ourselves. He assured me
that this meeting was as good as a
tonic for him, and I gave him my SOL
emn word that the sight Of his honest
countenance had cured me of cough OF
six weeks standing. When he sudden
ly remembered that he had left valua-

started away to get it, knew that the

returned my grip, however, said he was
awful glad to see me and invited me to
enter the tent. l hung off awhile, but
