THOSE who have resources within
themselves, who can dare to live alone,
want friends the least, but, at the same
time, best know how to prize them most.
But no company is far preferable to bad,
because we are more apt to catch the
vices of others than their virtues, as dis
ease is far more contagious than health.

A ehild's eyes, those clear wells of un-
defiled thought what on earth can be
more beautiful? Full of hope, love and
curiosity, they meet your own. In pray
er, how earnest; in joy, how sparkling;
in sympathy, how tender! The man
who never tried the companionship of a
little child has carelessly passed by one
of the great pleasures of life, as one
passes rare flower without plucking it
or knowing its value.

insect whose existence is only discerned
by a miscrOscope, and gave that invisi-
BILE speck system of ducts and other
organs to perform its vital functions,
created the enormous mass of the planet
thirteen hundred times larger than our
earth, and launched it in its course
round the sun, and the comet, wheeling
with velocity that would carry it
round our globe in less than two min

prodigious a space that it takes nearly

A NATIONAL CONVENTION
OF Coal Diggers May be Held Next Month
TO Arrange n Wage Scale.

OF Coal Diggers May be Held Next Month
TO Arrange Wage Scale.
A delegate convention Of the newly con-
structed division OF N d. A. 1876, X. of L.,
composed of the railroad miners of Western
Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio, was held
yesterday in Knights of Labor Hall, on
Wood street. Master Workman Paxon
presided, and delegates were present from
Is local assemblies, representing go mines.
The object of the meeting was to consider
the wage question, the offer of the diggers
to continue work at the present scale having
been rejected by the operators at the Colum-
bus Convention. 1t was thought that a
strike would be ordered, but the delegates
were inclined to make another attempt to
settle the question, as the following resolu-
tions adopted will show:
WHEREAS, 1t is agreeable to, the purposes OF
the X. of l. to settle wage scales by reasonable
and conciliatory methods, and
whereas, We deprecate the prospect OF a
return to the barbarous method of strikes,
especially against those employers who have
shown disposition lately to cooperate with
the miners In the maintenance of equitable
prices, for the mutual interests of themselves
and their workmen. and
Whereas, We do not believe that the miners
and operators are incapable of adjusting all
disputes by peaceable and common sense meth
DDS, therefore
Resolved, That we urge upon the national
officers OF, N. D. A. 135, K. of L, to invite the
employers of all competing districts to unite
in call for a national scale conference, to be
held on or about April prox.
Resolved, That all miners, organized and
unorganized. be requested to meet and elect
delegates to a conference, and that they be in
srructed to elect four delegates from each
State with full power to negotiate with an
equal number of the operators, and construct
scale that will give the workmen the best
compensation that the coal trade will justify,
to prevail for one year, beginning May l, 1882

MUST THEY CUT WAGESp
Coke Operators Cannot Run Their Ovens
at the Present Prices.

Coke Operators Cannot Run Their Ovens
at the Present Prices.
It is believed that the LIST of April will
see general reduction in the wages of the
coke workers throughout the entire region,
instead of strike on their part for higher
wages. About the best price obtainable
this month for coke is 81 80 per ton for
foundries and 81 20 per ton for furnaces,
while it is asserted that large coke firm is
quoting to consumers at 81 10 per ton for
furnaces, and small orders are being filled
at this price. The men at Rainey's works
are reported to have had their wages re-
duced this week, and other operators say
that at such'prices, with bids for April de-
liveries coming in at lower figures, they
cannot run and pay the present wages.
Almost all the works in the region are
running four DAYS week. The Stewart
Iron Company's Beeson works are idle, the
men having been locked out by the company
for the past two months in an effort to rid
themselves of obnoxious workmen. Writs
are now in the hands of the Sheriff for their
eviction and it is likely some action will be
shortly attempted by the company. They
are buying coke to run their furnaces at
Sharon, Pa, and it is understood that they
are anxious to start up, but at reduction
of wages. The men are reported to be as
anxious to get back to work as the COM
pany is to begin running again.

Advice TO Horse Breeder,,

Here are some well-taken points from prom
inent Englishman's lecture on horse breeding:
II have always held that a stallion ought not
to be in show condition at the end of the sea-
son. 1t is detrimental to the constitution and
provocative powers of the stallion to be fed up
like fat bullock in early spring, for it is sell
number of mares tosuch hose which is daily
losing flesh, and an equal number to a stallion
that has been worked In the team. The latter
will not only leave his mares in foa, from the
first but will thrive and improve, and he is in
better condition at the end of the season than
at the commencement, and the chances are he
will leave 30 per cent more foals, and, given
that the animals are equally well bred, the
stock of the latter will come with more mus
cular power and harder constitutions. If this
be the case with the earlier date, hold it to be
suicidal policy to continue the overfeeding
during the season for the sake of winning a
prize at the summer shows"

CLOSE TO POLYGAMY
Is the 0ffense Alleged Against Pretty
Young Mrs. Simon.
SHE is CHARGED WITH BIGAMY,
Bat a Friend to Whom ElOpement is
Familiar May Extend 1t.
SHE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HER PLIGHT

A pretty little German woman was
brought to Jail last night by constable
from Alderman Doughty's Office, charged
with bigamy, the charges being made by
Albert Simon, son of Vincent Simon, OF
$3.50 Penn avenue. The woman's correct
name would be hard to tell, as she is
charged with so much bigamy.
Mrs Simon, or Schwinde, came to this
city from Germany about nine months ago,
rant of Vincent Simon. She could not
speak word of English, but represented to
Mr.. Simon that she was single, and by her
winning ways and ability to do everything
that came along in the way of work, won
her way into the elder Simon's heart to such
an extent that, being widower, he pro-
posed marriage to her. He was accepted,
and the pair went to Philadelphia in jan
uary and were married.
Since then they have led a happy life,
apparently, until, within the past few days,
domestic troubles began to arise which were
not lessened :any by the intelligence that
came to Mr.. Simon's son to the effect that
the young stepmother had another husband
alive and we'll in Germany. Acting on
this intelligence, he entered the suit men-
toned above.
1t is alleged that Mrs. Schwinde not only
has husband in Germany; but that she
eloped from him with another man, who
paid her passage to this country and lived
with her until she secured employment at
Mr.. Slmon's restaurant.
She could not be made to understand her
position last night, and seemed to regard
the Jail as a sort of hotel, for she was very
particular to inquire what sort of room
she was to have in the building.
The case will come up for hearing be-
fore Alderman Dougherty next w Wednesday,
and the defendant is held in the meantime
without bail.

AN IMPORTANT CHALLENGE.
Carey VIII Match Junemont Against An
Son of Grand Sentinel

Carey VIII Match Junemonr Against Any
Son of Grand Sentinel
The following important challenge appears
in this weeks issue OF the Horsemdn:
A short time since my attention was called to
a communication signed by S. A Browne, of
Kalamazoo, wherein he states thar son of
Grand Sentinel can beat any stallion in Michi
gan. While 1 admire Mr.. Brownies pluck and
enterprise, and have high opinion of his judg-
ment in horse matters, L nevertheless believe
that in this particular statement he has made
an error I have delayed replying to the arti-
Gle referred to in the hope that some other
owner of the many fast stations in this State
would respond, as felt that there were other
owners, perhaps more prominent, who would
undertake to decide the point which Mr..
Browne has raised, but as no one else has done
so, and believing that have a faster stallion
than any son of Grand Sentinel, and in the
most friendly spirit toward Mr.. Browne and the
interests he represents. l desire to hereby mott
fly him that will match my 6-year-old stallion
Junemont 21Ssz, against any entire son of
Grand Sentinel for any reasonable sum, say
from 81 600 to S3, 000 race of mile heats, three
in five, to be trotted over Detroit or Chicago
tracks during the months of July, August or
September, 1889, provided Mr.. Browne shall
signify his acceptance of this proposition within
30 days from this date JOHN CAREY.

The American ball players did not attract
as much attention here as at Glasgow,
dining cars not being such curiosity here,
but several thousand people visited the
station during the day to see the handsome
special train and the celebrated athletes.
The weather was the brightest yet enjoyed
in England. The sun shone pleasantly and
the air was brisk. The ball players were
extremely anxious to make a good i'm
preston here, as it is one of the foremost
on the old Trafford cricket ground and de-
clared it the finest in England. The ground
was favorable for sliding to bases. being
smoothed level.
A very large attendance was expected, and
there was some surprise that it only numbered
about 25O0 Both clubs were anxious to win,
and the battle proved to be one of
THE MOST EXCITING GAMES

commanding lead in the first three innings the
score standing to 0. In the following three
Chicago did some good batting and tied the
score. The All Americas again took the lead
in the eighth. The ninth inning was very ex-
citing, and the spectators seemed to be i'm
pressed with the situation. The Chicagos had
two out and Petit on third. Anson popped up
iy which Crane muffed, and Petit scored
the tieing run. Pfeffer was hit by pitched
ball, with two men on bases Tener made a
terrific hit to left which seemed to be sailing
over Fogartys head. He made a great run
and splendid catch that provoked prolonged
cheers The All Americas had the last innings.
Hanlon led off with base hit stole second
and

amid applause. The features of the game were
the brilliant catches by Fogarty, DAILY and
Wood, Ryan's three-bagger and the base run
ming of HanlOn, Manning and Fogarty. OF the
seven errors made by the All Americas, four
were made by Crane at short. whose hands
seemed stiff with the cold. Here is the score
