SPRINGER TO MINERS
He Tells Them that Free Trade I'm
Coal Would be a Boon.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct 9-Congressman
Springer spoke tonight at large Demo-
cratic meeting at Riverton, a coal mining
settlement near this city. He devoted
large portion Of his speech to the subject
OF the tariff on coal and the benefits that
would result to the miners Of Illinois
and the West generally If the Democratic
policy of free coal and reciprocity with
Canada should prevail. In the course of
the speech Mr.. Springer said:
mo miner in this region can be bene-
fitted by a tariff on foreign coal. Such a
tariff could not possibly raise the price of
domestic coal. The tariff under the Nc
Kinaey bill on foreign coal was 70 cents per
ton. Under the Democratic tariff 1t was
reduced to 40 cents, and the bill which
passed the House and is now pending In the
Senate, dealing with coal separately, pro-
vides for reciprocity with Canada Canada
now excludes our coal by a protective
tariff Of go cents a ton. We propose to
admit Canadian coal into this country

back the freights coal would be almost
nominal, hence this reciprocity trade be-
tween Canadian ports and ports in the
United States would vastly increase the
demand for coal in the States of Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio. What, therefore, Is
most desired by these miners of these
States is free trade in coal with Canada.

DEVOTION OF A HUSBAND.
Untimely End of DIR. Dolsitsch. President
of King Alexundcr's Ministry

Untimely End of DIR. D"ltitsch. President
of King Alcxandcrs Ministry.
Deep and widespread is the regret in
Servia at the untimely death of DR.. Do
kitsch, the Young president of the min
istry under King Alexander after his
recent assumption of full power Ii was
a heroic death, however, for DIR. Do
kitsch, whom many of his countryman
considered the most promising man of
his time, met his end through his devo-
ton to his wife. The romance of his
life had already endeared him to his
people.
When u student a few years ago in
Belgrade, Dokitsch, one of the most bril-
liant men at the university, saw glrl
pass the house in which he lived. She
was poorly clad, and her appearance
proved that she had come from power
ty stricken home. But the beauty of
her face and her kind eyes impressed the
young man. He learned her name later
and found that she was seamstress,
the main support Of her family. De-
spite their difference in rank. he fell
deeply in love with the girl and asked
her to be his wife. Soon after his grad
uation he became professor of law at the
university and prominent in politics.
>and then led her to the altar.
But the young wife was already af-
hicted with consumption, and the disease
soon made rapid progress. Naturally of
a melancholy disposition, she became
Respondent. Then came the hope in

or Robert Koch had discovered IL cure for
y tuberculosis. DIR. Dokitsch endeavored
to induce his wife to 90 to the German
capital, but the young woman was con-
vinced that her case was hopeless and
declined to carry out his wishes. He
tried to raise her spirits and prove that
her condition was not dangerous. He
gave up his work, spent almost every
moment of his time with her, drank
from her glass and tried in other ways
to convince her that he had no fear of
her life or the disease The Koch cure
was tried, but i'll vain, and Nine. Do
kitsch died
The coup d'etatcame and the professor
was summoned to the highest Office I'M
der the young King Alexander. But he
had contracted consumption by his de-
votion to his wife. and his constitution
was undermined. a few months ago he
had become so weak that he was COM
PEELED to resign, much to the regret of
his king. He soughtrelef in vain, and a
few days ago the people Of Belgrade heard
with sorrow that he was dead. The
cause of his untimely end was known.

BE CAREFUL, M. cRAPAuD.
The Frenchmnn Allowing His Dislike Of
England to Annoy Americana.

French hostility to England has been
unusually violent for some months past,
and the English in Paris complain that
they are made aware of it in ways that
offend them or even render their stay
there unpleasant. This is something in
which we are not concerned. For an
other reason, however, it is our duty to
give the Parisians warning. Life in
Paris has been made dlsagreeable to some
Americans Of late because the anti-Eng-
lish Frenchmen have failed to draw the
line between Englishmen and Ameri-
cans, and as Americans speak the Eng
lish language have assumed that they
were English and have acted according
ly. This will not do.
We tell these shoulder Struggling and
mustache twisting Parisians that they
had better look out when they are in the
presence of Americans. Americans wiil
not tolerate their blague. They can't
treat young Brother Jonathan as if he
We're old John Bull. They must be re-
spectful toward Americans i'll France if
they want to get the money of American
tourists. Americans are self asserting
people, not destitute of patriotic pride,
not SO patient as Job. not at all arrogant
or i'll tempered, yet conscious of their
inviolable Americanism. They have
grown beyond dueling, but it is not safe
to act toward them as if they We're of
timid disposition. True. they speak the
English language, but they can't help
that, and we may say that they like it,
There We're $3.50 Americans living
permanently in Paris three months ago,
when the census of foreign residents was
taken. and hundreds of American tour
lists visit the city every week of the year.
These Americans spend lots of money in
Paris. 1t is possible that they spend
20,000.000 francs there every year. and
this sum is but small part of the ag-
gregate amount which Parisians draw
from Americans annually. Let the
shoulder shruggers think of this when
they see an American dressed in French
clothes and shelling out his dollars for
their enrichment
The Americans like France we'll, and
they give proof of their liking for her.
They appreciate the good qualities of the
| French and give them full credit for all
their merits. 1t is to be regretted that
there are' some coxcombs among the
French, mostly in Paris.
The craziest thing that NJ. Crapaud
can do is TO confound Brother Jonathan
with John Bull.-New York Sun.

SUFFERING OFF THE MAINE COAST,
Hundreds of Fishermen on Outlying Islands
on ths Verge of Starvation.


on ths Verge of Starvation.
Hundreds of fishermen are on the
verge of starvation and suffering for the
want of proper clothing within so miles
of Portland. There are hundreds Of
islands in Casco bay and scattered along
the coast between Portland and the
Kennebec river. These are for the
most part inhabited by fishermen who
depend entirely upon their nets and
seines for food. During the past few
weeks these people have not been able to
set any nets on account of the frequent
and severe storms which have swept the
coast. The fishermen live out of the
line of coasters and are visited only at
infrequent intervals by fishing smacks
and summer visitors.
Malaga island. where most of the suf-
fering is found, is situated about a mile
and a half from the mainland and is
perhaps three miles in circumference.
Upon this island are three huts built of
ed with 30 to 40 people. They We're Wis
tied by The crew of fishing smack
which was obliged to seek shelter from
the storm behind the island. The story
as told by one of the crew here shows
that unless help arrives to these people
soon they will starve to death. When
the smack was seen nearing the islands,
the half starved people rushed down to
the beach and set up a howl Of JOY. They
We're barefooted for the most part and
poorly clothed at the best. Some Of the
women were almost nude, and several
children have died from exposure and
want of proper food. The huts are said
to be in a filthy condition and afford but
scant shelter from the bitter cold.
The smack had but little food on
board, having made a poor haul of fish.
The crew gave the islanders such food as
they could spare and almost robbed
themselves Of clothing to assist the i'll
clothed beings. The men on the island
say that they We're not able to obtain
enough fish this fall to provide them
selves with supplies for the winter, and
when the storms prevented their setting
their nets they We're left without food

tied with fishermen. who are reported to
be in almost as bad condition rs the
islanders. Yarmouth, Bear and Basket

The wild speed of the Brooklyn trolley
