Tragedy Of Literary Disappointment.

Iragedy OF Literary Disappointnsent. 1
An English periodical says disappoint-
ment in authorship over there sometimes
has tragic results. Recently q gentle
man committed suicide because he had
had an article rejected. and q confec-
toners assistant shot himself because.
though he had written several books.
they were all rejected. The article goes
on sagely: Yet he went on writing to
the last. unable to see that he was pro-
ducing what was not wanted. Nova
days there is q market for what is good
IN any class Of literature. and the writer
who cannot secure a publisher may rest
assured either that he is not ready for q
public appearance, or that he has been
denied the gifts with which he fancies
himself to be- endowed"

Velocity of he Earth.

The highest velocity attained by acan
non ball has been estimated at 1892 feet
per second, which is; equal to q mile in
8.2 seconds. The velocity Of the earth
at the equator, due to its rotation on its
axis, is 1000 miles per second, or amile
every 8.6 seconds. Therefore it has been
calculated that If a annon ball were
fred due west, and that it. could main
tain it's initial velocity for "a hours, it
would barely beat the sun in its APP

selves with the terms used by the trade.
"Rough-snd. tumble" coal means all that
the miner picks from the coal beds.
"Slack" is the fine coal, almost dust,
which the bresksge and handling pro-
duces. "Nut coal" is composed Of the
pieces larger than slack and is such as
is convenient for household purposes.
Lump coal" is composed Of chunks too
large to pass through the screens over
which all coal is passed before it is
weighed. Slack and nut coal pass
through the screens and are not weighed
and hence cut no figure in the rate Of
wages Of the miners. Lump coal is the
only sort for which the miner receives
pay. SlRc and nut coal constitute 1873
per cent. CT the output. Hence nearly
one-hslf Of the miners labor yields him
not one cent, but does yield an immense
profit to the operators, whose proceeds
from the sale Of slack and nut coal are
clear gain.
1t was TO correct this great injustice
that the law, directing the coal to be
weighed and credited to the miner be-
fore being passed over screen, was en-
acted by the last state legislature. It
was hoped that this law would accrue to

work they use only quiet argument, sp-
peRling to them for the sake OF their
own future, and in behalf Of the rights
Of labor, to cease to render such aid to
the operators as will enable them to re-
fuse to allow the miners an equitable
remuneration for their labor, and q rate
which the business is entirely able to
sustain.
During the two months Of the strike
constant appeals have been made to the
strikers to absent themselves from places
where liquor could be had. There has
been as q consequence but very little
drinking. During all of the stress Of
deprivation, ofteDtimes Of the bare
essentials Of daily food and living sup
plies, the men have maintained an or
derly demesnor.
At a miners meeting a short time
since q stranger arose and began an liz
Hsmmatory harrangue against their
"tyrants and oppressors," advising the
men to arm themselves with Win
chesters. Immediately the wise, cool
heads in the crowd called down the

rounced him as spy and "tOol of the

gandism.
am impelled to undertake this task
not alone because of my solicitude con-
corning the immediate case Of the Kan
saa difficulty, but because OF the larger
bearing which the study may have upon
the general situation, and its correlation
to kindred parts of the vast industrial
problem, the adjustment Of which is
pending and inevitable.
1t is scarcely pertinent to that which 1
trust may be the permanent value OF my
work to report the present status which
may be shifted at any hour and reported
by telegraph before this word could
reach the ADVOCATE. Suffice it to say
on this point that l find most unhappy
frame Of mind, growing feeling Of hos
tility between the miners and the oper-
ators. At any hour q material change
of front on the side Of the operators,
such as the threatened arrest Of Presi-
dent Walters, or the importation Of new
men for the mines, may precipitste q
conflict.
That the miners believe themselves
to be in the right, that they believe that

to be paid for his entire output instead
Of for little over one-half. It was OF
course expected that there would be a
readjustment of the scale Of wages based
upon the average market value of lump,
nut and slack. To this the miner would
have sssented. All that they would
have asked would have been o fair rate
in proportion to the profits Of the coal
companies upon the entire product Of
their labor. But instead of the reason
able increase which they had right to
expect under the operation OF the new
law, they received proposition from the
operators which would reduce their

THE SALVATION ARMY
Makes Its First Public Appear
anCe in the City.
Soldiers Fair and Brave Armed With
Song and Tambourine-Silve
Question Incidents.

The first charge OF the Salvation
Army was made last Saturday evening
on Washington street near the Red
Corner, and instead of being the ag.
gressors they were beseiged by a throng
of people, drawn by curiosity or other
wise, to get first glimpse of the fair
soldiers, view their weapons and learn
something of their mode of warfare.
The army consisted of but four mem
bers, three ladies and one gentleman
the weapons consisted of song, tam
BOURNE and that two edged sword, all
of which were welded skillfully.
After taking up collection at the
close of the street exercises, they re-
paired to the little edlfce on Jefferson
street, where they were again received
by crowd that filled the house to
overlooking, seats, aisle, doorway and
sidewalk being filled with struggling
mass of humanity.
They held four services on Sunday
and while on the street in the forenoon
another collection was taken to supply
the prisoners confined in the county
Jail with War Crys. Nlckels, dimes
and pale silver of greater values were
tossed into the magic circle and one
middle.aged man, evidently a silver
miner, who placed either a low value
on the metal in bad repute or higher
one on the fair soldier near his elbow,
kept constantly raising himself, or in
other terms, played progression. His
first donation was nickel, then later a
dime, next he dug up quarter, and a
moment later half dollar, all of which
was accepted thankfully by the smiling
young sol lier. After few moments OF
deliberation, as if moven by a sudden
inspiration, he again doubled the do
nation and later he came again with
50, after which the meeting adjourned
to the church, which no doubt saved
the enchanted listener from going broke
as he was raising each play at a dan
gerous ratio.
During the morning services at the
church, although the house was
crowded, careful invoice showed
that there were but three protested
Christians in the room aside from the
four belonging to the army.
Capt. McIntire outlined the work of
his people and rather astonished those
present by claiming all for his congre-
CATION that were not attendants at the
other churches of the city, claim very
similar to the one made by Maverick,
the Texan, when branding law was
passed some years ago.
Eighteen young men asked for
prayers on Sunday and promised to
try the narrow pathway, while in the
evening, one lady and an old gentle
man from the mines, who stated that
he had led a checkered life for the past
twenty years, were at the altar. The
method of worship go far conducted by
these people is very similar to that of
many sectarIan denominations.
