PcnnsylSanim Cookers Decide to Join the
Great Strike En- Masse.
CoNNEL.svILLE. April 25.-The delegate
convention of coke workers at Scottdale
passed resolutions ordering the entire re-
gion out 10 join the national strike of coal
miners. The prospect of spreading the
strike in the coke region has thrown this
section of the region intoexcitement. The
leaders here confidently assert that within
two days all the miners of the region will
be out. While they expected cessation
of work ut some of the smallest OF the
plants none even of the most sangune
leaders expected the larger plants to shut
down, and when the news reached here
that the men ut Valley and Standard, the
largest plants in the region. had all come
cut there WAS general rejoicing among the
strikers.
These men refused to join the recent
strike. but now they are the first to obey
the order Of the United Mine Workers
association FOR the general strike. This
indicates that the northern end of the re-
giOn is prepared to come out and that
Tricks ilen will join the strike. Many of
the operators Row admit that the whole
region will I've on strike in n few DAYS
Some of them predict n long strike, char

ceptcd the proposition for the railroad.
Governor Nelson's letter, while concilia-
tory, plainly declares that at all hazards
the law must be maintained and the prop
erty of tine company protected. This is
taken as warning to the strikers that if
they refuse the arbitration proposed they
will be held to strict account for all vio-
lations of the law. Regarding the gov

company is not afraid of the decision of
any three just men. There is no excuse

The author of Lorna Doone'" has a
decided repugnance to anything that
savors of personal advertisements. Only
one portrait Of him, that which appears
in the cheap edition of his novels, has
ever been taken, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that he could be in
duced to sit for that. Not very long ago
an enterprising bookstall keeper in the
district where Mr.. Blackmore lives
pasted up notice announcing "a new
story by our local novelist" Mr.. Black
more, SO the tale goes, happened to pass
soon afterward and saw the placard. He
was furious and ordered it to be at once
pulled down. There was certainly some
justification for Mr.. Blackmore's action.
Tor, whatever else he is, he cannot be
correctly described as ''local novel;

was taken to the depot, which we

The Evil Eye In Nicaragua.

1t is a prevailing belief among the
inhabitants of most of the Central
American republics, especially the In
dams and "Low Spaniards'' Of Nicara-
qua, that after a person has been ex-
posed to the sun or is from any cause
agitated or fatigued a glance from the
eye of such a person will cause sickness
or death in the one upon whom it falls.
The notion seems to be that the poison
GUS animal heat escapes through the
eyes, and that it's effect is especially
blighting to young infants and children
who may be exposed to it's baleful infu-
ence. The Spaniards as we'll as the ma
tive Indians Of the countries mentioned
speak of the "evil eye" as ''ojo caliente, ;"
or cheated eye" and they hold it in
such dread that small children are al
ways sent away and babies covered with
cloth when any one approaches who
is known to be extremely tired Or over
heated. Besides the above, they also be
lleve that intoxicated persons have tie
power Of the ''evil eye" ;:bslormally dc
veloped. They are taught from childhood
that person possessed with al "evil
eye, - OR ''ojo calientc," can ''wither
with a look Or break bones with a wish. -
Nearly all the children of those coun-
tries wear charms made Of alligators'
teeth and corals as a protection. st.
