FAMILY JARS AIRED.

Judge Stoves Noble Attempt to Heal
Support, Not Wear, an Olive Branch.
The Stepson Not i'm 1t.
Judge Stowe, in his Solomonic capacity,
held rather short session yesterday, indi-
eating. possibly, that family jars were at
present still repressed by the New Years
resolutions, which may retain the main por-
tion by their virtue. His Honor was In a
good humor, and cracked an occasional joke
as he dismissed diseruntled husbands and
wives with such admonition as the circum-
stances OF the case seemeDto warrant.
Mrs. Samuel Maxwell, colored, came in
for scoring, the Judge letting her know
that she must in future exercise more dis
crimination in making informations against
her husband. She was told that she must
not run 10 a 'Sguire's office every time her
husband took a walk, thus piling costs on
him. 1t looked at once as though the couple
might have scrapping match in court
when Samuel insinuated that Mrs. Samuel
was an Indifferent sort of a wife. Samuel,
however. is required to take care of the
babies or stay at the Hotel Berlin.
A Mr.. Quinn excused his conduct toward
Mrs. Quinn by stating that she had sou Of
age who was not his (Quinn's) son, and that
the young man would not work, and his
foster father was not able to keep him. Mrs.
Quinn was told that she could not force her
husband to support the adult, and Mr..
Quinn was advised to allow Mrs. Quinn
motherly feeling some scope, and Mr.. Quinn
was held in 5000 to keep the peace, but in-
formed that he need not support the young
| man.
John Popp was arraigned for stating that
someone was an Anarchist. He offered to
submit an Anarchist publication to show
that the accRser figured in meetings of that
class of Socialists. Judge Stowe couldn't
read the paper, as it was printed in some
| language he had not learned. Popp was
discharged.
Elizabeth Ford said she and Edward Ford
were married in August. They have an
olive branch three or four weeks old. 1t ap-
peared that Edward had committed matrl-
mony to settle contest with the prosecutrix,
and he will give $500 security to pay s. a
week for the support of the baby or stay in
the bastie an indefinite time.
Samuel Bishop was called up to answer a
charge of desertion of seven years stand
ing, according to Mrs. Bishops account.
1t appeared that divorce proceedings were
pending in Fayette county, and Judge
Stone ruled that the Court had no iuris-
diction, Mrs. Bishop being nonresident
Bishop has a youthful appearance, and
stated that he is 80 years old and his wife
4S, whereupon Mrs. Bishop corrected him
sharply, stating that she was but 81.

HIS FIRST ANNUAL REPORT.
Factory Inspector Martin Wants Some New
Legislation.

Factory Inspector Martin Wants Some New
Legislation.
State Factory Inspector Martin mas issued
his first annual report, and it contains MANY
interesting facts.
The number of thorough inspections made
during the time was 2.0Sz
The number of males employed in the fac
tories, mercantile establishments, etc.. that
were thus Inspected was Isl, ,297; the number of
females, ll642 the number of children be-
tween the ages of L and l6 80 4S7; total 2y7
7I9 Seven hundred and eighty-two orders have
been issued; 20 were for fire escapes ii3 were
for protection at the elevator stands. ITO were
Tor sanitary improvement. 5!9 were for protec-
tion from machinery, ETC.; 56S orders were
obeyed. The orders disregarded relate in many
cases TO the employment Of children under Il
years of age. An important test case of this
kind is now on in the Pittsburg courts anc will
be pushed 10 a speedy decision by Inspector
Martin, who is doing most excellent work.
Accidents in the various establishments have
not been reported until the last two or three
months. There have been liz reported during
thar time. Many anonymous letters have been
received lately by Mr.. Martin most of them
being from Philadelphia and Pittsburg. They
probably came from employees, who are afraid
10 sign their names for fear of losing their no.
stiOns. These letters give instances in which
the Law is violated. Such cases are now re-
celNlng SpecIal attention. 1t seems that the
section most frequently violated Is the one stat
ing that minors shall not work more than so
hours a week.
Mr.. Martins statement shows that his
corps OF assistants is very much too small to
do the work. The State is divided into dis
tricts that are far too large for the six sub
inspectors, who are under him. Mr.. Mar
tin will present bill to the next Legisla-
ture, asking for some changes In the act now
IN force in reference to the employment of
children and women.

THEIR POSITION EXPLAINED.

Coal Operators Take Firm Stand Against
Granting an Advance-Say They VIII
Shut Down First-Miners Prepared for a
Long Fight.
Probably the largest meeting of coal
operators. ever held in this city, took place
yesterday afternoon at the office of the Ad-
vance Coal Company. There were over so
operators present and their intense interest
manifested in the subject considered.
The demands OF the Monongahela miners
were discussed, and the condition of the coal
trade reviewed. 1t was reported that the
men in three more mines had gone out, and
that about 2, 500 miners are now on a strike
for an advance of a cent bushel. The
operators thought they could not afford to
pay an advance owing to the condition OF
the trade in the South, and accordingly
lutions bearing on the subject. The Chair
appointed w. W. O'Neil, Addison Lvsle,
S. S. Crump, 7. j. Wood and i. n. BuL-
ton, who Immediately reported the follow
ing resolutions which were unanimously
adopted: zee
WHEREAS The coal miners have made de-
mand for 81 cents bushel, being an advance
of Il cent over the previous rate. and have given
notice that no coal would be mined after Janu-
ary / at less rates.
Resolved. That owing to the depressed con-
dition of the Southern markets caused by the
competition from Kanawha. Ohio Indiana,
Kentucky and other districts, together with
the burden imposed by the tolls of the Monon-
gahela Navigation Company, we would not be
justified in acc, ding to their demands And
agree to suspend all operations for an in
definite period. or until the miners resume
work at the old rate.
There is a diversity of opinion as to the
condition of the coal trade. Mr.. Bunton, one
of those who attended the meeting, said it
had been in a discouraging state owing to
the competition they are brought into from
other fields. Others spoken to thought that
barring the snow blockade OF last week the
trade was in good shape. The railroad asso-
citation has practically decided not to raise
the price of coal, for the members feel that
they should not take advantage of the present
gas shortage, as coal prices have been fairly
remunerative and they are inclined to use
every effort to increase their trade rather
than by advancing the price to check the
demand.
A delegate meeting of the miners has been
called for LucyvilIe, to take action on the
strike. They claim to be amply prepared for
strike and can remain out for months.
They gained one victory yesterday. Stones
Works, at McKeesport, granted the de-
mauds

Here will be exhibited such curios as glazed
tiles from Jerusalem, the mosque of Omar
and various other buildings, also from the

I.odak and Western Thibet, bowls made OF

The work at present is under the super
vision OF John w. Beatty, who was instru-
mental in bringing the eexhibit to Allegheny.

in order to secure. the collection are d. L.

NONE OF THE WORKS FOR SALE.
One of the strange features about Vassill
Verestchagin, the great Russian painter,
is that he has never sold any of his
works. He was a soldier and blest with an
ample private fortune. Sixteen years ago
he first permitted part of bis collection to be
exhibited in Europe, and then in 1879 he
permitted all his entire collection to be shown
in. St. Petersburg. Since then his works
have been on exhibition in the following
cities: Vienna, Paris, Berlin, Hamburg,
Dresden, Brussels, Buda Pesth, Berlin,
Frankfort on the Main, Prague, Breslau,
Koenigsburg, Leipsic, Amsterdam, Stock
holm, Copenhagen, London, Liverpool,
Paris (four times). 1t was brought to New
York in 1888, and was accompanied by the
artist himself. Since then it has been shown
in Philadelphia, ST. Louis. Minneapolis,
Buffalo and Boston. 1t will be seen for
the last time as a collection in Pittsburg, as
it is to be bought by the American Art
Association in New York next March.

Extracts From Some Ancient Town Records
in Long Island.
Brooklyn Standardization;
The following ancient record exists on the
records of the town of Brookhaven, Suffolk
county, Long Island. It represents the action
of the people of that town in 1914, ten years
after New York had passed from the hands
of Peter Stuyvesant and was enjoying the
rule of the merry James of York:
WHEREAS, God have bene much dishon-
Impoverished by drinking and tipling, ether in

maeke this order that whosoever shall thus
transSress, or sett drinking above two houres,
snail pay five shillings and the men of the hous
for letting them have it after the TYNE prefixed,
shall pay ten shillings exsept strangers only.
The necessity of properly training up the
youth of the community also occupied the
attention of the elders, and about the same
time they made law:
WHEREAS it have bene too conan in this
towne for young men and maieds to be out of
their fathers and mothers house at unseason-
able tIemes of mite. 1t is therefore ordered that

Or. Koch and the Other Scientists Are
Doing a Great Work for Them.
Paris Edition New ork Herald
Though DR.. Russell, of Edinburgh, may
have discovered the parasite that is the cause
of cancer it does not, unfortunately, follow
that he can find method of curing the
disease in human beings. 1t is curious
fact that modern science can cure q disease
in an animal which it cannot cure in man.
DR.. Koch's remedy against tuberculosis will
apparently cure guinea pigs, but as yet it has
not cured a human being, and the still
newer remedy for tetanus. which is un-
doubtedly efficacious in the case of mice,
may prove of no avail in the case of human
patients. -
1t is to be hoped that mice and guinea
pigs will be grateful for what science is do
ing for them. Mice are peculiarly liable to
tetanus in consequence OF accidents to paws
and tails in connection with traps, and
among leading mice there will naturally be
a warm appreciation OF the value of the
remedy against tetanus. but whether this
will lead them 10 abstain from depredations
on the property of bacteriologists remains to
be seen
