MINERS ASK FOR MONEY.

Local District OfHcers Iss ne a CaIl-Presi-
dent Costello Makes Daily Tour of the
District-Mr. Rae will Continue HIS
Missionary Work.
The miners are preparing to carry on
their strike all winter if it takes that long
to win. Yesterday President Costello and
Secretary McQuaid sent out an appeal
for aid, or rather levying an assessment
of % cents upon each member in the dis
trict, Assuming that there are Il, 900 men
out, which is /, 800 less than estimated by
the miners officials, that will raise an I'M
mediate fund, $4,000, which will be used
for the specific purpose Of keeping men
constantly in the field to encourage the
strikers.
The following is a copy Of the appeal
sent out:
To the Miners of the Pittsburg district.
GREETING-In accordance with instruc-
tions from the last convention, we hereby
order a levy of 25 cents to be paid immedi-
inaugurated by said convention. 1t should
be plainly understood that to mako this
strike q success, we must have men in the
held. The operators have resolved to I'LL
all contracts on the basis of 70 cents per ton,
in order to prevent any of the operators
giving the advance.
To cOuntern ct this, all competitors UusI
be stopped filling our contracts. Commit
tees should collect it, Delegates remember
your pledge; let all try to do their duty, and
we will strive to do ours.
JOHN COSTELLO, President,
NJ. MCQUAID, Secretary.

district yesterday again, completing it at II

working on the CHARTERS branch,
with the exception of u men at Cooks.
The men employed at the Jumbo mines
came out to-day Three mines at Smithton
came out also. On the Panhandle there are
very few men working and they are unor-
ganized. The men about whom the opera
tors boosted this morning, are cut this even
ing and they will stay out"
President Rae will continue his mission
airy work next week. He spoke at McDon-
aid and Cannonsburg on Friday. Yesterday
he started for Houtzdale, where the conven-

TARANTULA JUICE WHISKY.
Its Effects on Young EnsIishman at a
Trading Post Out West,

Trading Post Out West,
''Way back in the '7O's,'' said Mr. T. B.
Montgomery, at the Monongahela, last
evening, in n reminiscent mood, 'there
was a lot of tourists scattered over the
West, who came to hunt the buffalo and
see the country. They were for the most
part healthy young bloods who travelled in
style, and whose outfits were gorgeous
They were always welcome guests at the
frontier posts, and some of the stories with
which our boys piled them made the hair on
the heads of their doting mammas stand on
end when old with the usual embellish-
menIs. But there was one particular party
which iourneyed to Texas and the Indian
nation that will remember their trip as long
as they live.
''It was a cold, raw night, early in No
Yember Of Il, that word was brought to
Captain D., of the Tenth Cavalry. COM
manding a small, one-company post in the
Indian Nation, thar a party of tourists had
arrived and desired to see him. Hurrving

East India contingent service, don't YOU

erlv cared for, and then sauntered down to
the suffers shop for a drink. The only
drinkable on hand was some Tarantula Lice
whisky that the boys used to say would
make a man run ten miles to chew his
youngest child's ear off and decoction of
some kind of bitters made to evade the law
against selling whisky in the Nation, which
was even worse than this whisky. The COM
maudant and his guest walked over to the
rough board that answered for a bar, and
faced the sutler or post trader, tough
looking fellow.
What Will you have, Lieutenant?' in
quired his host
" III take a little hook" said the Eng
lishman.
"'Hocll be blowedn said the trader;
'vouI drink whisky, t ats what you'll
drink, and be glad to get it, too.
'Orsia!I s hair stood on end when he raised
the glass to his lips and he took a fit after
he had swallowed half of it. Fear of the
trader compelled him to finish the drink,
and then he swooned He was carried to a
hut and put to bed.
Next morning he came across Buck
Stanton, the post interpreter, cleaning an
old smOoth-bore. After watching him a

A GLASS BOOM AHEAD.
Owners of Window Houses Look for
Big Business This Season.
FACTORIES TO RESUME THIS WEEK.
Striking Miners Are Making Game Fight
for an Advance.
MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL ITEMS

Before another week has rolled by great
many of the window glass factories will be
in operation. The 18th of the present
month has been fixed as the date for most of
them to start, and as that will be Thursday,
it is expected that preparations for resum-
ing will be commenced tomorrow or next
day. There many be few of the houses
that will not be fired up until after the next
meeting of the manufacturers
This meeting will be held in Cleveland
during the following week; with short pro-
ductions and light stocks in jobbers' hands,
it is said it is almost certain that prices
will be advanced. There is little or no
glass in the hands of the jobbers or manu-
facturers and as the former have filled up
largely with cheap glass they will want
better prices.
The outlook for the season just commenc-
ing is splendid. Several manufacturers
were seen yesterday. They have not talked
SO hopefully on the outlook for years. The
cause for this is mainly on account of the
fact that the stock this year is fully 100, 900
boxes less than at this time last year.
There is growing demand for glass since
building operations are resuming healthy
condition, and there is difference in the
time Of starting up the factories that will
result favorably to the manufacturers.
Inquiry was made yesterday into the con-
dition of the local factories that have either
resumed or are about to start up. S. w.
Mckee will not be ready to operate for
some time, owing to repairs which have not

WHAT OTHER FIRMS ARE DOING.
Cunningham & Co. will likely not start
before November 1, but D. o. Cunningham
is already in operation, with a full crew.
1hmsen's have started their ten-pot furnace,
using natural gas. They announce that the
furnace with gas producers will not be
ready yet for several weeks.
One of the tanks at Jeanette was put in
operation last week and another will be
fired up tonight. The factory of Thomas
Wightman & Co., in the West End, will
not be in operation before November l.
Phillips & Co. have ten-pot furnace in
operation. George Wamhoff & Co., will
resume full time this week.
There will be in all 1,6OO pots in opera
tion this year. This is nearly double as
many as were operated 10 years ago, and
yet the demand greatly exceeds the supply.
The workers are feeling in good trim for
work after their prolonged rest, and most of
them are pretty well satisfied to get back to
work.

Fruit as q Routine Diet.

'The abundant fruit crops have knocked
the bottom out of the wholesale grocery
business" said travelling man for local
house yesterday" 1 have just returned
from a regular trip, and this time last year
had booked 200 orders for general line
This time 1 booked none. The country
people are chock full of fruit, and are liv-
ing on it as much as possible. They are
buying very little meat, and making the
fruit take the place of the regular diet.
They buy little sugar and coffee, but that
is all. Collections, also, are slow, and the
business, taking it all around, in a poor
condition"

There has been considerable misunder-

were wanted. While the firm did say that
it would be ready to confer with the men
after October 10, there is no intimation
when the conference will be held The

Tucker said:
"Well, l would rather not say anything
about that. L would rather uot see printed
what L think is the opinion now held of
President Harrison among Indiana Repub-
licans. can say, however, that think he
is making mistake in seeking a second
term. L am opposed to second terms on
principle, but 1 most decidedly think that
Mr.. Harrison should not push the issue. He
has given US good and clean administra-
tion, to be sure, but he will make mistake
if he seeks a denomination. The people
want Blaine, and if he will accept he will
be the next President of these United
