On Their Way to Work in the Canadian
Coal Mines
AS the Premier approached the
Ocean dock yesterday morning the
sound of music was borne shOreward
on the morning air. A number Of
Franklin miners were on board, on
their way to Anthracite, coal min
ing town near Banil, on the Canadian
Pacific railway, where they will go TO
work in the mines. They were sixteen
in number, and as most Of them were
members Of the Franklin brass and,
they brought their instruments along
with them, and regaled the passen-
gers with music. They left on the
afternoon train for Anthracite.

Striking Tennessee Miners Cap

The Militia Called Out to the

Violations Of the Law on the
Part of Mine Owners Said
to be the Cause

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, July 2l-At
a meeting Of the working people held
here in which sixteen trades took part,
it was unanimously resolved that the
present trouble at Bruceyille is the
natural outcome of long and persist
ent violations Of law on the part Of
mine owners, in refusing to permit
the miners to elect their own check
weighman and the attempt to compel
the employees to sign an agreement
not to affiliate with any labor organi-
zation. 1t was also agreed TO forward
to the governor the following petition.
1--WE, the labOrers and mechanics of
Hamilton county, in open meeting
assembled, under the auspices Of the
federation Of trades, petition your
excellency to call, at the earliest mo-
ment, a special legislature TO consider

An ObIiRing Dude.

The cars which run after midnight usually
contain one or two who may at that unseemly
hour enjoy the privilege of a smoke. Recently
such a car from the suburbs was boarded by a
dapper little dude who was smoking cigarette.
he was dressed in Immaculate linen, says Tine
Wanderer," in the Boston Times, evening dress
and overcoat, and weighed probably from lis
to 100 pounds. His face was pale and alto
gether. ne looked as though good puff of wind
would blow him away.
At the next crossing big. burly fellow, ap-
parently bosom friend of Bacchus, got on
board. He eyed Mr.. Dude for minute or two,
and finally blurted out:
Say, sonny Give us a cigarette?"
The dude said not a word, but reached into
his coat pocket and drew forth the required
article. which he handed to his unwelcome
companion.
The latter was evidently primed for bit of
fun, row or anything else that came along.
He reached over and took the dudes lighted
weed from the latterS mouth lit his own and,
casting look of scorn at his small victim,
threw the borrowed tobacco stick away.
Mr. Dude calmly lit another cigarette without
deigning to resent the insult.
Inc burly one smoked in silence for two or
three minutes, then threw the remnant of the
cigarette away, saying:
Say! Give us a ctgarette?n
II gave you one, >" replied the dude.
Give us a cigarette Yer hear?" roared the
bully, Advancing Overwhelmingly
But the little fellow didn't brighten a little
bit. He merely answered.:
II gave you One.n
'Dern YER Give us a cigarette" yelled the
now Infatuated bully, clutcning at the coat col
lar Of the dude and doubling his fist.
Just then there was a sudden movement on
the part of the dapper little fellow. His small
gloved hand shot out straight and caught his
big friend between the eyes. and before the
latter could recover he gave it to him right and
left UNTIL as the car came to a stop, he rolled
off into the gutter.
He got up slowly and shuf1ed away without a
word The dude calmly lit another cigarette,
remarking:
''These woughs are dweadful borer"

Fifty Gents Damage.

AS the train going down from Charleston to
Savannah ran into siding to wait for the
up-train to pass, some one writes in the Free
Press, we saw large alligator in a pond on the
other side OF the fence.
This pond had been made by fill in the rail-
road bed, and was about 200 feet long by 40 feet
broad.
On the opposite side and not twenty feet from
the water was negro cabin, and a negro stood
in the open looking at the train. A dozen men
leaped to the ground, pulled their revolvers and
began firing at the reptile. He was hit by two
or three bullets at once and down he went out
of sight. AS he disappeared the negro came
running down to u.s. hat in hand and pointing
to q hole made in the headgear by a glancing
bullet, he exclaimed:
Now den, whar' is dat white man who shot
dat bullet?'
No one could say, as we had all been firing
bue one of the shooters finally stepped forward
and said:
''See here, Moses, it was an accident. and
though it was close shave you have not been
hurt"
But lie got a chill. sahl When dat bullet
went ping frew my ole hat fought was
dun fur and killed dead, an it brung de ager
back on me-"
well, how much damage do you claims'
''Fo' bits, sah-fo bits. an not a cent less
doan' want to rob nobody, but dat bullet might
her went right frew my head"
We raised the half dollar and handed it over
and as Moses dropped it into his pocket and
turned away he continued:
"Doan' feel hard, gem len, but owes a duty
to my family. Eff dat bullet had killed me de
ole woman would her stuck out for two big dol
lars, chen IL it broke the hull crowdr'

Stin Discussing Watterson's Letter.
Editor Wattsrson is getting good deal
Of advertisement out Of the letter which, it
IS alleged, he sent to Gov. Hill last Hovem-
Der, advising him TO side-track his presi-
Dental boom and let Mr.. Cleveland have the
right Of way. The newspapers are still
talking about it, and Gov. Hill and his
friends think the letter was not written IN
| November, but after Gov. Hill had been
elected to the Senate, and that 1t was
scheme to take him out of the race for the
presidential nomination Of his party.
In support of this view they call attention
TO an interview with Mr.. Watterson published
few days ago in the New York Tribune,
| in which Mr. Watterson is quoted as saying
| that as the only official representative of
| the Democratic party in Kentucky he had a
right to send the letter, and that he wrote it
after consultation with people in New York
and Washington. Gov. Hill has said that
he never received the letter, and his friends
now say that it could not have been written
in November, as it purported to have been,
if what Mr.. Watterson said in his Tribune
interview is correct. 1t seems that Mr..
WatersoD did not become a member Of the
national democratic committee until Dec. II
Of last year, and. therefore, could not have
been the official representative of the Demo-
cratic party in Kentucky last November.
This is pretty strong point against Mr..
Watterson, and one that he ought to ex>
plain without unnecessary delay. A man
who likes to talk as well as Mr.. Watterson
does can hardly avoid making mistakes
sometimes. He cannot afford, however, to
let the impression get abroad that he wrote
letter, so important as the one he wrote to
Gov. Hill two months after it purported to
have been written, because an impression
Of that kind would go far to convince the
Rpublic that what Gov. HIPS friends say is
true, viz: that the letter was written only a
few weeks ago, and was given to the press
with the view of destroying Gov. Hills
presidential prospects.
There are those, also, who have doubted
that Gov. Hill was sincere when he declared
that he had never received the letter, but
they would not doubt any longer il they
should be convinced that the letter was
written months after It's date. The wise
thing for Mr.. Watterson to do is to make IL
clear that he wrote and sent the letter in
November. If he fails to do that the posi-
ton he will occupy will not be an alto>
gether enviable one.

Austin Corbin's scheme.

1t is stated that Austin Corbin. the great
railroad man, proposes to take advantage
of the postal subsidy bill by putting on a
line of steamships uetween Montauk, L. l.,
and Milford Haven, England. His schedule
between those two points will be five days.
He will run fast vestibule trains from New
York to Montauk, distance of lis miles
The schedule between the two points will be
two hours From Milford Haven to Lon
don passengers will be carrie in four hours,
making the time between New York and
London five days and six hours.
Mr.. Corbin, it is understood, will have
built eight IL ,0O0-ton steel all-American
steamships, having a speed of twenty-four
miles an hour.
If the scheme does not miscarry the first
four of the steamships will be completed
within two years, and they will be finer
than any steamships now afoat. The best
talent will be employed in their construc-
ton. 1t is estimated that the eight vessels
will cost $12,oOO,OOO. They will not carry
freight. They will carry only passengers
and light packages. If they make the time
it is expected two of them will leave each
side of the ocean every week.
The harbor of Montauk, which ia on the
extreme eastern end of Long Island, is long.
wide and Deep 1t will accommodate yes
sells of any draft at any stage of the tide.
A breakwater will be required to make it
perfectly safe when there are storms, but
one can be built at a comparatively small
cost.
1t is stated that Mr.. Corbin's plans are all
matured. and that he will within few days
submit his designs for the eight steamships
TO the Secretary Of the Navy, so as to be
sure that they will come within the provis-
ions of the postal subsidy bill, which re-
quires first-class ships.
ID is to be hoped that Mr.. Corbin is in
earnest in this matter. If he is the first to
reduce the sea voyage from this country to
Europe to five days he will win fame, and,
1t may be, fortune. Doubtless he has al
ready secured the promise of the necessary
capital There are plenty of capitalists, no
doubU, who are ready to embark in an
enterprise of this kind. The subsidy is 81 a
mile, and that amount will go long way
toward making first-class steamship line
| profitable.

ese woughs are a dweadful bore!"
he Lectured to His Csbman

The visitor to Paris, if at all interested
in the matter of literature or education,
says the Philadelphia Times, is more than likely
TO pay visit to the national library or some Of
the half remote audience rooms of the College
of the Sorbonne. Here if he waits sufficiently
long upon those days devoted to professional
lectures, he may see dapper little gentlemen
with more or less learned look mount the lee
ture platform and for exactly sixty minutes
hold forth on various topics. The size of the
audience will depend upon the fame of the pro-
fessor or the character of his subject as is nat
ural These lecturers are the honorary profess
ors belonging to the institutions, and when it
comes to the turn of those whose speciality for
instance may be the theory of Chinese gram
mar or the origin Of Tartar roots, there is seldom
any particular crowding or pushing on the part
of pupils to hear them.
Recently one of the class, on taking the stage
TO go through the lecture, was surprised to see
a single hearer, who appeared to be the very
soul Of patience and attention The surprise
came in that at his last three or four lectures
incre asing interest, small as it was encouraged
the professor, and he never delivered more
impressive or profound discourse He had not
given, however, some of his best points, when
the memorable hand of the clock pointed to the
moment Of concluding.
Our time Is up, SIR" he remarked, address
ing himself to the scholar, 'but II you will bear
with me for another ten minutes or 30 l think
will be able to make the matter clearer to you
still"
20 that is all right, professor. was the other 8
reply; fire away. The longer the better, as I
always charge by the hour"
The professor looked more closely and saw
that the single auditor was the hackman whom
he had engaged to drive him TO the college.
