ARE STILL TALKING.

No Action Looking to an Agreement by
the Cleveland Conferences.
CLEVELAND, May ls.--After the joint
conference committee had reported that
they could not agree, Operator H. L.
Chapman of Ohio, and member OF the
conference committee, made u brief
address. He recounted the history of
the committee meeting, and said that
the operators offered SO and b6 cents
scale, while the miners still held out for
20 and 70 cents. He said that in view
Of the present depressed condition, and
the strained condition of manufacturing
interests, the operators could not con-
slider the advance asked.
wIll.. to Hav Vote.
President Mcbride was the frst
speaker for the miners. He said he was
willing to have vote taken on the
compromise offered by the operators,
but he would guarantee that the miners
would be unanimous against 1t. Com
tinuing, the speaker said: '
} "As a native born citizen, blush to
think that the business interests are
ing wages paid the laborers I represent.
We want you to ..v..
Give Us Living Wages,
and increase the price of your coal.
You can get O fair profit. There can
be no compromise along the lines Of
starvation wages. The miners make no
threats, but they stand together peace
ably, earnestly and determined as they
will 60 on 80, finishing the present fight
and prepared for future fights"
Following president Mcbride, r. L.
Robbins of Pennsylvania secured the
floor and made q strong address for the
operators.
4 Colonel w. P. Rend Of Chicago se-
cured the floor and urged a compromise
Of 60 and 50 cents, saying the operators
offered too little and the miners wanted
too much. After more discussion the
convention took another recess.

A student at Jefferson college owns a
highly priced paperweight, inherited
from his father, who was student at
Heidelberg university, which is said to
have no counterpart except one owned
by W. W. Astor, who was also stu
dent there.
1t is limestone stalactite about a
foot high, obtained from cave near the
upper Rhine, mounted on pedestal of
onyx and encircled with narrow silver
band, whose whorls, like that of slen-
der shaving, extend the whole distance
at irregular intervals from base to sum-
NIT.
These intervals mark the different
stages of the stalactite's growth, scien-
tifcally calculated, and on the band,
which was affixed by learned Heidel-
berg professor, are engraved the various
periods of time. First come the geo.
logical eras, when the whorls are widely
separated. Then narrowing into the
historic periods come the Babylonio and
Egyptian, the Roman and renaissance
or modern epochs. The first periods are
marked by widths of varying inches,
the latter by varying halves, quarters
and eighths of an inch.-Philadelp

CHEAP DIAMONDS.

Universal Hard Times Said to Be Unset
Ting the Market For tho Sparklers.
1t will not be surprising if the univer-
sal hard times cause great crash in the
diamond market. 1t is well known that
the great syndicate which has controlled
the price Of precious stones in the past
few years finds the enormously increased
production, combined with the steadily
shrinking market, very difficult condi-
ton to deal with.
Cecil Rhodes, the virtual king of South
Africa, told the stockholders of the con-
solidated De Beers mines at Cape Town,
on Thursday, that the cause of the pres
emit depression in the diamond trade was
to be found in America, which took one
third of the worlds production. These
mines have long been the greatest pro-
ducers. but one of the two other South
African companies has recently much in
creased its output in spite of the control
exercised by the syndicate. tits now pos
sible to obtain small diamonds in London
at astonishingly low figures. No cutting
of prices has yet been made by reputable
jewellers in the retail trade, but the sup
ply of small stones is SO enormous that
those who know the ropes can buy them

of spirited horses along the beach from

plunged into quiclxsand. Heraty held

A suggestion is made for legal re-
form which, while retaining breach of
promise actions, would deprive them of
all their ornamental trimmings in the
shape Of love letters and the other usual
incidents of courtship. 1t is proposed
that no promise of marriage should be
held valid unless it is made in writing
upon properly stamped paper. Young
ladies might afix sixpenny stamp to
the letter in which the swain declares
his affections and ask him to be SO good
as to cancel it with his autograph. =

A NATURAL SODA FOUNTAIN.
A Kentucky Farmer Strikes a Plain Soda
Geyser While Digging Post Holes.

Kentucky Farmer Strikes a Plain Soda
Geyser While Digging Post Holes.
A wonderful discovery has been made
on the farm of Mr.. Anderson Miller,
who lives about nine miles southeast Of
Barboursville, Ky. While digging post
hole in the ground Mr.. Miller had gone
down probably four or five feet when he
struck what appeared to be very hard
substance, and he pounded away time
or two on it, when he was suddenly
startled by rumbling and laundering
poundSand kissing of gases, or what ap-
peared to be steam, and his digging tool
was lifted clean out of the hole and
thrown several feet, and volume of
boiling and kissing water shot forth $50
feet high. Mr.. Miller made run for his
life, as he thought the water was "biling
hot" as he expressed it.
After getting over his excitement here
turned to the scene and looked upon some
thing wonderful--a steam Of water near
ly six inches wide and as clear as crystal
shooting its way upward fully $50 feet
and forming crystal arch beautiful in
the sunlight, something like the geyser
"Old Faithful" in the great Yellowstone
park. Miller stood still and watched this
phenomenon for about 80 minutes. Then
of a sudden, as if done by some mysteri-
GUS hand, this great fountain Of water
was shut off. The appearance in and
around the place was entirely changed.
After a pause of about 80 minutes again
came forth the mighty volume of water
as before. Mr.. Miller, thinking he had
enjoyed enough of this grand sight by
himself, started of in haste to call his
neighbors, that they might also see the
wonderful thing. Word was brought in
to town. and party Immediately left to
view the sight. The water appears to be
heavily charged with carbonic acid gas
and is pleasant to the taste.-Cincinnati

SURE ANTlDoTE FOR MORPHINE.
One of the Most Wonderful Discoveries o
Modern Times Is Proved.

One of the Most Wonderful Discoveries of
Modern Times Is Proved.
DR.. William Moor, specialist on Their
apeutics, who is member Of the staff
of the West Side German clinic, in West
Forty-second street, has discovered that
permanganate of potassium is an anti
dote for morphine poisoning, and that it
will counterfeit within reasonable lapse
of time the effects of any of the salts of
opium.
DIR. Moor, in the presence of 10 men,
bers of the clinic who assembled on Jan.
9, swallowed what is ordinarily fatal
dose of morphine.
His fellow physicians attempted to dis
suade him. Some of them left the room,
declaring that they would not counte-
nance such madness by their presence.
But DR.. Moor persisted in committing
s'suicide" with the utmost cheerfulness.
He thereupon swallowed three grains of
morphine in two teaspoonfuls of water
and Immediately afterward drank a So
luton of four grains permanganate of
potassium in four ounces of water.
Deadly languor and death must have
followed ordinarily, for DR.. Moor swal-
lowed three grains Of the drug, posi-
lively fatal dose in his case, as he is SUI
persensitive to the effect Of narcotics.
But the permanganate of potassium did
its work well. In the business Of the
meeting which followed the experiment
no head was clearer than DR.. Moor's, and
when it came to eating, drinking and
making merry some hours afterward he
was quite as active a participant as there
was in the party.-New York Herald.

With proper care fagpole ought to
last great many years in spite Of the
incessant exposure to the elements. OF
course the best preservative of wood is
paint, and a man who has Flagstaff
which has cost him good sum Of
money should see that it is painted at
least once every IL months. Flagpoles
generally rot at the bottom first, and
then have to be taken down to prevent
them from falling of their own weight.
The usual length of pole on top Of a
high building is from so to 70 feet. 1t
is not difficult to get pole in one piece
so feet long, but when man wants to
