ONLY ONE MEETING HELD.

Goal mined for home consumption was
to be regulated by the selling prices in the
home and foreign markets (the latter being
all coal shipped more than 20 miles from
Pittsburg). This was done by board of
miners and operators in equal numbers
This board met June 90. and after a general
informal talk adjourned that the miners
might consult their constituents They
never asked for another meeting of the Ar
bitratiOn Committee, and surely this cannot
be laid at the door of the operators.
''To sum up, the miners and operators, on
May 2, agreed to rate of 70 cents for one
year, the 'differential' of 9cents established,
as before stated, being allowed. Five
months later the miners broke this agree
ment and demanded 13 cents more, or a rate
of 80 cents, making the diferential' %
cents, and practically driving Pittsburg
Goals out of the great markets of the North
west. The operators maintain that the
strike, with all its disastrous consequences
and loss to both operators and miners, is
due to the latter alone, and point to the
facts of the case in proof of their asser-
tions."

MULTIPLICATION OF A CONTRACT.

"On September 3Oth the miners and
operators met again. The miners
demanded an increase of 13 cents,
or 90 cents per ton, for mining all coal, and
declared that strike on October 1 would
follow refusal. This position was taken
in the. face of the long established differ
entail of 9 cents, which they then sought to
increase to % cents, and of the agreement
made May 2 to work for one year at 70 cents.
In other words, it was complete nullifca-
tion of the contract they had made
'There was no denial, on the part of the
miners, that the contract of May had been
made in good faith and was of binding
force. In palliation Of their action in break
ing it they set up the excuse that some of
the operators had violated parts of the stip-
ulations relative to dead work and con-
sequently they had the right to break all
their obligations in relation thereto.
'"There was an agreement relative to GER
tain local contingencies termed dead work,
for which prices had been agreed upon, and
all differences were to be settled by arbitra-
tion. Neither party had any right to break
the agreement, but was to abide by this
arbitration both sides being equally repre-
sented on the board.

A City at the Bottom OF tho Sea.

The city authorities of Rovigno. on
the peninsula of Istria. in the Adriatic
Sea. have discovered n little south Of
the peninsula the ruins Of large town
at the bottom of the sea. II has been
observed for some years that fisher
mems nets were sometimes entangled
masonry, OF which fragments were
brought up from the sea bed. A year
or two ago a diver declared that he
had seen walls and streets below the
water.
The city authorities recently decided
to investigate. They sent down n
diver who. at the depth of eighty-fve
feet, found himself surrounded on the
bottom of the sea by ruined walls. He
says he knows they were the work Of
man. He is builder by trade and he
recognized the layers of mortar.
Continuing his explorations, he
traced the line of walls and was able
to distinguish how the streets were
laid out. He did not see any doors or
window openings, for they were hid
den by masses of seaweed and incrus-
tations. He traced the masonry for y
distance Of 100 feet, where he had to
stop. as his diving cord did not permit
him to go further. He had proved
beyond doubt that he had found the
ruins OF once inhabited town, which.
through some catastrophe, had been
sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Some people think that they identify
this lost town with thu island mem
toned by Pliny the Elder under the
name of Cissa, near Istria. This
island cannot be found now, and IL is
thought the submerged town may have
been settlement on the island that SO
mysteriously disappeared.-N Y. San.

The Peak OF Teneriffe.

Attention is being called to the fact
that the peak Of Teneriffe at lawn cast

appears to be fat upon the surface.
but that gradually seems to rise up I'M
til it is perpendicular. and stands APP
parently a reproduction in black of
The real mountain which beside it is
white and glowing in the sunlight.
The scientific explanation of the phe-
nomeron is that the shadow at first is
really nat upon the water but that. as
the heat of the rising sun causes a
vapor TO rise from the ocean, the
shadow gradually becomes cast against
the bank OF fog instead of upon the
water, and really is straight up In the
air.

military Consumption in Germany.

Military CONSUMPTION is being en-
forced In Germany with more than
usual stringency, and the socialist
leaders are denouncing the system.
A Cologne correspondent of the Lon
don Neaos says 1t Is pitiful spectacle to
see the squads OF German conscripts at
the various stations awaiting enforced
transportation from home and friends.
They look more like convicts on the
way to Jail than recruits for the army
of the empire. and as they are sur
rounded by throngs of weeping aud
wailing relatives the cruelty OF the
system forces itself on the mind of the
observer. just now these conscripts
are being driven to the military depots
in droyes from all parts of Germany.
and sadness reigns In every village and
hamlet.

A LECTURE ON A SPOON.

Il remember" said the recounter Of
the party, "a dispensation Of what
might be called Spartan justice. It
happened when | was boy and made
lasting impression. as incidents OF
the kind do on n youthful mind.
Our folks Mt home had some old
silver spoons that had been in con-
slant service for generations. aud were
small and thin, and carried in their
shallow bowls the makes of every tooth
in the family. Each spoon had his
tory and an association. as spoons did
have in those days. and they were
looked after with the greatest care.
My mother placed them under her
pillow every night; and the whole fam
lily would be regularly awakened by
midnight clatter Of rafting spoons. as
they had a restless habit OF falling ont
OF bed so their value was enhanced by
the many sleepless nights they cost.
well, one of those precious spoons
was missing, and there was a great to
do over it. The servants were all
questioned. but no one had seen the
missing spoon. That night colored
girl. who had been taken in some
months before by my mother. and who
was a bright and rather precocious
character. told of seeing new hired
man on the premises hiding something
in his jacket. She even essayed to
find the jacket. and. sure enough, be-

The German took it all in good part

A German prince was on his bridal

While sitting under tho shade Of

VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT.

What the Enterprising Women of sum.
init, N. j., Have Accomplished.
A little more than eight years ago the
women of Summit N. j., formed
village improvement society. Begin
ming their work at the railway station
they graded the grounds, laid walks,
made a gutter, sowed the grass seed
and arranged the flower beds. They
next turned their attention to shade
trees, for up to that time the streets
were almost entirely shadeless. The
trees were set GU. and looked after, and
then the sidewalks were taken in hand.
The society bought two sprinkling carts
and the service of them is paid by tax
on those having the benefit of them
Realizing the Importance OF keeping
tidy after once putting things in order
the society hires a man whose duty it Is
to walk daily through the streets-pick-
ING up litter scattered about by careless
persons A piece of work done by these
women that deserves special mention
was the eradication of the elm-tree bug
from the trees. For four seasons tia
women treated nearly thousand trees,
under directions from the agricultural
department at Washington. During the
eigh. years the society has paid out an
average Of about $1,000 per year. Its
dues are 81 year, or SIS for life mem
