 Trains Are Run.
 ST. PAUL, April 21.-There were few de- velopments in the Great Northern strike. President Debs of the American Railway union received a telegram from Organizer Hogan from Butte, Mon., stating that he would start from there with a committee of the men to come to St. Paul to confer with officials of the road. Similar mes sages had been received from other points, and Mir. Debs is still confident of the result of the strike He is especially pleased over the conference he had with the brother hood chiefs before their departure.
 The railroad officials also had received many messages and showed a few from men along the line saying they regretted the strike. When asked if traffic must re- main at a standstill while the men decided whether they desire the acceptance of the brotherhoods or the union in the confer ence, MT. Hill replied:
 'I think not. The United States mar shal, under the direction of the United States attorney, went with a posse to pre- vent interference with the mails at St. Cloud. The government has undertaken to protect it's interests, ard if the action of the United States is followed up it will re suit in the immediate running of all mail trains and an immediate resumption of business. The company must deal with it's employees and not with labor organlZa- tions which are fighting for supremacy. The company is ready to move it's trains whenever and wherever there is any law enabling it's men to discharge their duty"

 Girl to Tramp.
 PHILADELPHIA, April 21.-William Fam wood, who has the appearance of Coxey army recruit, with his stubby beard and dilapidated appearance, appeared in the dock before Judge Gordon to answer two charges growing out of his recent mar riage in Camden. The prosecutriX was his 15-year-old bride, Dora Hart, dark haired girl, with childish, innocent face and short skirts, whom he had inveigled by means of intimidation to the house of Rev. Dr. Burrell, where they were married.
 In charging the jury ,lndge Gordon said: "There is one feature of !niS case which is probably the most abhorrent of all its in- cidents, and that is the facility with which this marriage was procured. It appears that this full grown man of degraded ap- pearance took by threats this 15-year-old girl in short dresses, with her hair hang ing girlishly down her back, to the house of this man called minister of God. who promptly performed marriage ceremony uniting them as man and wife.
 If this minister was within this juris- diction and amenable to our laws, Iwould not hesitate a moment as to my duty, but would place him in the dock with this de fendant, where he rightly belongs No Ian guage can adequately characterize the baseness of his conduct. It was by his act that this crime you are now trying was consummated, and no honest man could have been deceived as to the youth of this Oirl D

Remarkable Cross Country Running

The most sensational championship iE the history of Irish cross country sport took place over the Clonskeagh course, near Dublin, recently and resulted in a tie be- tween the two leading teams. Another unique feature of the five mile contest was that the first 10 men past the post all broke the previous best record of 34 minutes 5S eeeosds, >>>.>d~ hy SL-~-~r;--> E-~--l> 1J.IiIr, over Baldoyle course in 1884. U. Mullen, Elysian harriers, was the hero of the race. He bounded to the front when the pist ol cracked, and drawing away at every stride reeled off the six accurately surveyed miles in 32 minutes 49 1-5 seconds His team az gregated 51 points, but the Belfast harriers fought out the issue so keenly that their score made precisely the same total. The northern cracks showed exceptional team training. J.Small carried their colors into second place 57 4-5 seconds behind the win ner, while J. McIlvenny, last years cham pion, ran fourth.

THE strike of the coal miners which took effect to-day inaugurated grand effort to bring the coal producers to terms. The organization of bituminous coal miners has branches in fifteen states of the union which supply the bulk of the soft coal consumed in the country. For years they have had local fights, in which the miners have been about always worsted, and now it remains to be seen whether a union of the work men can prevail over a union of the opera tors. which will undoubtedly be formed t9 and the myriad of men whom the order will throw out of work, may be inferred from the e. tnaI I5I .0OO. GOO tons of bi- luminous coal were mined last year, and that 35O.OO0 men were employed in min ing it. The great industrial depression and the large number of men out of work would seem to make the present an un- propitious time to strike. The largeness of the number of linen involved, and the fact that they have been working un- steadily and for low wages for a long time, will increase the misery occasioned and make it proportionately difficult to hold them out.

 Herbert Welsh, president of the Civil Service Reform association of Pennsyl- vania and for long time secretary of the Indian Rights association, which has its headquarters in Philadelphia, is 8 son of the late John Welsh, who was one of the most eminent of the Quaker City's public spirited men. John Welsh will best be remembered by the world at large perhaps as the president of the board of finance of tho Centennial ex- position and the United States minister to England through whom the $5, 500,- 900 awarded to the British government by the Halifax fish commission was paid. But Philadelphia has other and numer- ous remembrances of him, not the least of which was his donation of $50, 900, presented to him by his fellow citizens as mark of their appreciation of his efforts for the success of the Centennial, to found the John Welsh chair of Eng

THE report of the committee appointed to find out the best method of disbursing relief to the town poor is complete in all its details, and the recommendations made are, with one exception, worthy nf =,
 Gnc recommendation that the names and records of paupers be published in the annual report is open to severe criticism. If the selectmen do tbeir full duty and give relief to only the worthy poor it will be entirely unnecessary to publish to the world the names of those who are less fortunate than their neighbors and subsist on public charity. The committee were probably influenced to make this recom- mendatiOn by the fragrant abuses they found on examination of the records. When taxpayers are called upon to contri- bute to the support of keepers of bawdy houses it is time to call halt. But isn't there some way of getting at the evil with out such deep humiliation to the worthy poor?

THE advocates of woman's suffrage in New York are making great effort to s. cure concessions from the constitutional convention that is to meet on May 8, that shall allow women the privilege of voting in municipal and state elections. The petitions ask that the word ''male" shall be left out of the constitutional qualiica- tions for voters and the movement is re- ceiving greater impetus than any former move of the same nature has ever had in that same state. In New York city the rich society people are driving iu their car riages to the places where the petitions are kept and signing by the thousands. Petitions will come from every county in the state and the delegates to the conven- tion will find it very awkward to ignore them altogether.

How Peter Jackson Lost a Prodigy

While in St. Louis recently Peter Jack son and ''Parson" Davies discovered a dancing prodigy in the person of diminu- tive black skinned boy. Davies put the wonder on as an additional feature of his play, and the boys dancing captured the gallery gods before he had struck half a dozen steps. The astute ''Parson' hasten ed to get the boy under contract and star him as the dancing marvel of the age. A new suit of clothes and a s bill had the de- sired effect. The next thing in order was a bath for the newly found attraction. He was hustled to a barber shop, but vehe- mently protested against taking the plunge: "I'ze willin to stick to de show bizness boss, but I ain't gwine ter take no bath" All argument failed, and the company quilted St. Louis minus the youth who was to as tonish the natives by his wonderful dances.
