RUMORs OF ARBITRATION.
1t II Said That Congressman Tom
johnson Will Act.

There are many rumors Of arrangement
for a national conference of miners and
operators for a settlement Of the great coal
strike, but nothing definite has yet come to
the surface, and the national officers deny
that any proposition for a conference has
come from any person who could be recog-
nized by them. They will confer with no
person or no committee that does not come
with full power to speak and act for the
miners of all the bituminous coal fields. as
there is to be no local settlement allowed.
Tom L. Johnson the Cleveland Congress
man, capitalist and manufacturer. recently
held a conference with President Mcbride.
He came and went very quietly. and the
fact the distinguished gentleman had called
was not given out at the headquarters. Mr..
Johnson's name has been connected with
the movement to arrange a conference.
Secretary p. A. Mcbride left Columbus.
Ohio, Saturday night. At headquarters they
declined to say where he had gone. 1t is
believed that he is on mission connected
with the proposed conference.
President Mcbride says the second week
Of the strike begins auspiciously for the
miners. They have their forces well in
hand. and are receiving reinforcements

out, participating in the strike. There are
5000 Of them In all.
OF the 1900 men employed in mining coal
In the coke regions of Pennsylvania, $4,000
are now out. In his previous estimate he
counted only 1000 out in this district
Nor did he include In his latest estimate
the Indiana block miners mentioned above.
Altogether of the 10000 men employed in
the United States mining bituminous coal
for all purposes, 10000 are now out par
ticipating In the strike ordered by the ma
tional convention.
when it Is known" said President Nc
Bride, that the small proportion OF the
bituminous miners still at work IL made
up largely of negroes and unskilled work.
men 1t can be seen that practically the
whole production of coal has been stopped"
He predicts a coal famine that will para
lyze Industries before the middle OF May II
the strike goes on, and says II will begin to
be felt very sorely by the 10th Of May.
President Mcbride praises the miners for
refusing to go to work on local settlements.
in the many places where the operators
have agreed to pay the wages demanded.
He has just been informed that the miners
at Broad Top. near the Maryland-Virginia
line, have refused to accept scale wages.
These are newly organized miners, and such
firmness was hardly to be expected.

HE REFUSED THE JOE
Because He Wanted to Parade Wit
the Unemployed.

the Unemployed.
Il am beginning to lose my faith in the
sincerity of the unemployed working
man." Thus spoke Senator Gallinger Of
New Hampshire today. IN conversing about
the advent Of Coxey and other signs of the
times "A friend of mine in Boston," he
went on, had an experience recently that
convinced me that much of the talk about
the poor an out OF work Is nonsense.
He had a good deal of work to be done
about his place requiring the service of a
man for perhaps six weeks, and hearing of
q deserving fellow out of employment, he
sent for him. and told him that IL he
wanted job he could have IL. Owing to
the hard times he could not afford to pay
him much. but it would be steady employ
ment for at least six weeks. and the pay
would be dollar and a half day. He
had expected the man would accept his
offer without hesitation, and was consider
ably surprised when the fellow returned:
I'd like to take this job first rate. 1t Is q
first class chance. and / need the money
My family is in need of money. too. but
you know / can't do II. You see. I am
under promise to march in parade OF the
unemployed next week. and i can't break

ator. that this Is about the character Of

How Marbles Are Made.

From the Philadelphia Record.
Most Of the stone marbles used by boys
are made in Germany. The refuse only of
the marble and agate quarries is employed
and this is treated In such a way that there
Is practically no waste. Men and boys are
employed to break the refuse stone into
small cubes, and with their hammers they
acquire a marvellous dexterity. The little
cubes are then thrown into a mill consist
ing OF a grooved bed-stone and a revolving
runner. Water is fed to the mill, and the
runner Is rapidly revolved, while the fric-
ton does the rest. In half an hour the mill
Is stopped and bushel or so of perfectly
rounded marbles taken out. The whole
process costs the merest trile.

Tn umb Signatures.
From the Philadelphia Record.

The latest fad Of the studios is a new
form Of impressionism. After dipping his
thumb in ink or pigment the artist i'm
presses it on a corner Of the drawing or
aquarelle and over this impression he signs
his name. The idea Of thus imparting ad-
ditional authenticity and a certain degree
of interest to a signature is not altogether
new. Bewick the celebrated English wood
engraver, made an impression OF his own
thumb on block of wood. and then en-
graved 1t so infinitely that all the capillary
ridges We're shown. These ridges are said
not to be alike in any two individuals.

Too Abstruse,

The Catholic societies, which are
preparing for the celebration Of
July 4th, are not pleased with the
action of the council yesterday in
refusing the use of the fire depart
ment and in treating their invita-
ton so lightly. They only have
the invitation committee to blame,
though, as there was nothing on
the invitation to show from whom
it came, ETC., and the aldermen
were at loss to know what the in
YitatiOn meant.

To Settle Muddy Water.

From the New York Post.
DIR. Lehman recommends to
housewives simple means Of pre-
cipitating turbid water by the use
of a solution of alum. One hun.
dred and thirty grains of crystal
lized alum dissolved in a pint of
water will produce a large guam
tity of the purifying fluid, as it is
only used in the proportion of one
to two grains of alum to a gallon
of water. That would require three
teaspOOnfuls of the solution to
every two gallons Of water. After
stirring it in, let the water stand
few hours, and it will be perfectly
clean and ready to be poured of
from the thick deposit in the bot
tom. II it is then filtered it will
be in good condition for drinking
Even without flltering, it will be
safe to drink the water If it has not
stood very long, as it has been
found that the addition of the
alum greatly reduces the number
of the bacteria. The taste is not
affected, as the alum decomposes
in the water, and sets free com.
pounds that attach themselves to
the muddy elements in the water
and cause them to settle. This
remedy is not for contaminated
water, which should always be
boiled,

A Hot Meal.

From the San Francisco Post,i
Walter Mansfield, the Board Of
Trade attorney, is a most enthusi-
astic sportsman, and an expert
with either rod or gun, but he will
never permit his enthusiasm to
stint his stomach. IL at the mo-
ment he had his gun on flying
quail a dinner bell should ring, he
would drop his gun and go to din
ner.
" hen Mansfield goes out on one
of his trips he always locates a
place where he can get a good
meal, and so times his sport that
he will reach it at the dinner
hour. A few days ago
he went up on the Big Sui.
phur Creek for days fishing, and,
as he started out at daybreak, he
saw a little wayside shanty, in
front of which stood horse trough
and a sign: "Hot Meals at All
Hours" The trough did double
service as drinking place for tired
and dusty horses and lavatory
for the guests of the "hotei."
"That's just the place." said Wal
ter to himself. "I'll fish up stream,
and then down again, so that I'll
reach here at noon"
He carried out his program, went
to the "hotel," where he rubbed
soft soap around his neck and
washed it off in the horse trough,
aud then seated himself at
the wooden table. An old Mis-
sourian sat smoking in one corner,
and never budged or paid the
slightest attention to Mansfield,
who was nibbling at cracker he
found on the table.
"Well, where is my dinner"
inql ir3d the hungry sportsman.

the stem of his pipe at the table.

Bogus Kearsarge Relics.

From the Washington News.
Circumstances tend to throw the
least shadow of a doubt on the
statement of the mariners who Wis.,
tied the wreck of the gallant old
Kearsarge, whose bones were laid
on Roncador Reef, that hardly a
vestige of the ship remained. These
gentlemen reported to the Secreta-
ry of the Navy that scarcely stick
of the old ship was left from the
attack of wind, water, fire and the
wreckers, but things begin to look
as if the statement was cooked up
thing to deceive The public. If it was
true, where did the Kearsarge relics
that are now flooding the country
come from? There are enough
men sporting walking sticks which
they proudly aver to be made Of
the wood of the old ship to colonize
state, and pieces of the ORIGINAL
sternpOst which received the shell
from the Alabama are thick enough
to build a flotilla. A fleet of Kear-
sarges economically chopped up
would not furnish wood sufficient
to manufacture half of the "origin-
al" relics that are floating around.
Probably if the truth were known
the Central American wreckers
that pillaged the ship had an eye
to business, and shipped the wood
they secured to some enterprising
Yankee firm, and it is now on the
market in various shapes. But SO
long as the owners believe they are
genuine what difference does il
make?
