Highway Improvement.

The agitation of public highways
improvement in America has reached
stage where the desirability Of the
object has been pretty fully established.
Still there are many who entertain
doubts as to the feasibility of plan
which contemplates the building of a
system of stone roads throughout the
country, and they meet plea for bet
ter wagon ways with, Eyes, but can
we afford to build :them?" This ques-
ton should be answered by asking
another: "Can we afford to do without
good roads?"
This eagerly expressed desire from
all agricultural sections of the country
for vast improvement of our public
highways is manifestation of a natural
reaction from the craze of railroad
buildings. Helpful as has been the
iron horse in the development OF the
country's resources and essential as it
is now, under the industrial revolution
it has wrought, the people engaged in
agriculture, ETC., are now beginning to
realize that they have overlooked a very
important interest while assisting the
railroad boom. However nearer the
great consuming centers the railroad
has brought the products of their toll,
they are still as far from the enjoyment
of the profits of increased prices and
facilities for reaching the markets as
they were before the railroad brought
their communities in familiar touch
with the world. The problem has
been a staggering one to them, and
every species of political charlatan has
offered them solutions without number.
They seem now, however, to have
worked out the solution by themselves
and appear determined to follow its
precept. They are going to build
good highways. just what methods
will be employed Or just what particu
lar system is to be adopted are mere
details which will work out themselves. |
The encouraging fact is that the farm |
ers have found out ''what's troubling |
them and they are going to build
good roads.-St. Louis Chronicle.

State Rights and Personal Liberty.

Gov. Stones eloquent speech before
the Young Mems Democratic club OF
St. Louis, last Monday night, was re-
ceived, as it deserved to be, by round
after round of applause. But it is
worthy of note that the demonstrations
of approval were loudest and most en-
phatically manifest when he came to
discuss the old and yet ever new sub
jects of state rights and the personal
liberty of the citizen. There is moth
ing, after all, quite so dear as freedom
freedom of speech, of press, of
church, of conscience; freedom from
the oppressive forms of government
which mass the people into subjects
and elevate authority into divine right
and autocratic power.
The governor spoke learnedly and
with feeling against the encroachments
of the federal judiciary, and quoted
the warning of Thomas Jefferson which
stands to-day as prophecy. His re-
view of recent events in this state af-
forded proof of the necessity for earn
estness upon this subject. and the gov
ernor gave to it all the impressive
eloouence for which he has become
famous. And when he arraigned the
..American Protective Association" as
the remnant of the old knownothing
party, battleing now against the Cath
olic church, the governor found his
audience responsive to his utterance.
It was a great speech, alike worthy
the occasion and the man. And the

Nor left the door of heaven ajar.

Two Versions of an Old Story.
THE FALLING STAR.

BY DAVID BARKER
One night as old St. Peter slept,
He left the door of heaven ajar,
When through a little angel crept
And came down like a falling star.
One summer, as the blessed beams
OF morn approached, my blushing
bride
Awakened from some pleasant dreams
And found the angel by her side.
God grant but this-I ask no more
That when he leaves this world of
pain,
He'll wing his way to that bright shore
And find the road to heaven again.

Miners Hear the News.

PHILLIPSBURG, Pa, May 29.-Word was
received here that the coal operators of the
Clearfield and neighboring districts had a
meeting in Philadelphia and decided to re-
ject the suggestion of Governor PattisOn
to submit the differences between the oper-
ators and miners to arbitration. The
news caused the greatest CONSERVATION,
indignation and surprise among the
miners and their leaders. Many of them
now profess to believe that the visit of
Governor Pattison had an Interior purpose,
not on the part of the latter, but perhaps
on the part of those who counseled him to
take such a step.
The miners assert that it is the belief
that the governor has been used by some
of the operators for the purpose of aScer-
tanning if there was any sign of weaken
ing upon the part of the strikers. The
action of the operators in refusing to &C
cept the friendly offices of the governor in
endeavOring to bring about a settlement
of the strike ON business lines, the leaders
assert, will make the men more deter
mined than ever to insist upon full COM
pliance with their demands and they add
that they will not return towork until
starved into submission.
Should the operators now attempt to in
troduce new men, it seems certain to bring
about a conflict, in which local sentiment
will be stronger than ever on the side of
the miners. The course determined upon
by the operators is taken by the strike
leaders to mean that before the week ends
an attempt will be made to start mines
with new men-possibly with negroes
and that deputy sheriffs or coal and iron
policemen will accompany them. Every
incoming train will therefore be watched
from this time on.
Except for the destruction of a loading
place at country bank supplying the en-
gines of the Altoona and Philadelphia rail
road with coal between this place and Os-
ceola, the parade of the almost 3, 900 miners
passed off without incident.
The place destroyed was on the route of
the parade to Osceola. Meetings were
held here and at Osceola and were ad-
dressed by the district president of the
miners organization. Thomas Bradley,
who was on his way to adjust trouble at
one of the Oshantee mines, was compelled
to leave the train at Osceola and speak to
the miners. AS predicted would be the
case, the miners ignored the notice of the
operators issued last week, not man in
the entire district reporting for work.

Situation at cr,pp1e Creek.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, May 29.-The
mine owners at Colorado Creek are dis
cussing in secret session the proposition to
arbitrate with the miners. Many of them
are in favor of continuing the strike, and
the result is doubtful. The miners have
received kilograms In cipher from Denver,
Pueblo, Leadville, Ouray and Coal Greek
and from other points offering them aid
if battle becomes inevitable. 1t is said
that l, 600 armed men will be sent to the
strikers on 4S hours notice if trouble
breaks out again, and 1t is impossible tt
see how it can be avcrted. The results bid
fair to be far more terrible than those
already witnessed. The arInistice de-
clared Sunday was made use of by the
sheriff to increase their forces. Nearly
400 men have been recruited in Denver,
and only await the slightest outbreak to
be forwarded to Cripple Creek and be
sworn in as deputies.
The striI ers seem to have taken courage
from the action of Governor Waite and
tend to aid them in carrying out their
purposes. Be this as 1t may, the entire dis
trict is terrorized, and the strikers, being
encouraged by the temporary Withdrawal
of the deputies, are becoming holder and
more imperative and intolerant. All day
strikers have been searching for arms and
ammunition In the mining camps, and
wherever arms, ammunition or provisions
wpEs found they weTs eonassate4 Ne one

Operators Mean to Fight.

PHILADELPHIA, May 29.-The soft coal
operators of this state at meeting in this
city decided that they would parley with
their striking miners no longer, but would
Immediately procure new hands and work
their mines, even if each workman re-
quired the protection of deputy sheriff
The meeting was held in the offices of
the BcrwindWhite Coal company, in the
Built building, and was behind closed
doors. About 40 operators were present
representing three-fourths of the mining
interests of the state. After session of
several hours it was decided that the oper-
ators had paid enough attention to the de-
mands of the striking miners, and as the
latter had refused the offer of 40 cents a
ton made about two weeks ago the oper-
ators would cut off all further communi-
cation and negotiations with them and
hire new men imported into the state for
the purpose.
A committee of three of the most prom
inent operators was appointed to take
steps toward hiring men and putting them
to work at once. A coal operator present,
when asked where these new men were to
come from, replied that there were thou
sands to draw from, and that in New
York alone men were fairly begging for
work. He admitted that the greater part
Of the new hands would probably be for

JULIA MARLOWE WEEDS.
The Well Known Actress Mar.
ries Her Leading Man.
SHE rs NOW MRS. ROBERT TABER.
The Honeymoon Is to Be Spent In Vermont,
and In the Fall the Bride and Groom
VIII Return to the stage-A Church
Wedding In Philadelphia

Wedding In Philadelphia.
PHILADELPHIA, May 29.-Miss Julia
Marlowe, the actress, and Mr.. Robert Ia
Der, formerly her leading man," were
married at ST. James P. f. church at
Twenty second and Walnut streets, this
city. The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. Joseph H. Blanchard, rector, assist
ed by Rev Arnold H. -Hord.
The first intimation that Miss Marlowe
and Mr.. Taber were to link their private
lives together came about a week ago, and
Miss Marlowe at that time candidly adj
mitted that marriage was intended. Mr..
Taber," she then said, lis one of my old
est friends, and we have actually grown
up together in theatrical work. We do
not expect to retire from the stage. On
the contrary, we hope to be together in
the same company, and in the love of work
with which in a certain sense we have be-
come identifed.'
Miss Marlowe's family name, as the
license shows, is Miss Brough, and she is
% years old and was born in England, but
has lived in this country since she was
very young. Mr.. Taber is only a few
years older than his bride. Shortly after
her arrival at the Stenton the party col
lected and We're driven to St. James
church in a couple of large carriages.
With Miss Marlowe went Mr.. and Mrs.
George Woodward, and Mr.. Taber was ac-
companied by his mother and sister,
At the church awaiting their arrival
were Mr.. and Mrs Talcott Williams and
Mr.. Balk, the well known theatrical pho
tographer from New York. Miss Marlowe
proceeded up the aisle on the arm of Mr.
Woodward, who gave her away. She was
dressed very becomingly in buff colored
silk dress, which had a spray of flowers as
a pattern, and wore q small spring bon
net. She was met at the chancel by Mr..
Taber, who wore dark morning suit and
who looked very handsome and happy.
The marriage ceremony Of the Protestant
Episcopal church was then performed by
DR.. Blanchard. Mr.. and Mrs. Taber then
returned to their carriage looking radiant
and were driven back to the hotel, where
they were joined by the rest of the party,
and wedding breakfast was served up
stairs in private room. After the break
fast the newly welded pair left for New
York.
The first two weeks of their honeymoon
and possibly the summer will be spent at
the country place of the grOom's parents
at the foot of Mount Mansfield, Stowe, VT.
Mrs. Taber concluded the last engagement
of her season on Saturday last at Washing
ton. After the matinee the company pre-
sented her with brooch in the form of a
star set with pearls and diamonds. The
presentation was a complete surprise. In
all probability Mr.. Taber will be her lead
ing man next season, and they have re-
ceived two offers to play in London in Sep
tember 1895, at Henry Irving's Lyceum
theater

THE COAL CONFERENCE
Miners and Operators to Meet
Again Thursday.
STRIKERS HOLDING COAL TRAINS.

Pennsylvania Operators Decide to Give Up
All Arbitration and Put New Men In the
Mines-RiOting In DEMONSTRATION In the
Cripple Creek Region Still More Serious.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, May 29.-The con-
ference of mine operators of the central
and southern Illinois fields and members
of the executive board of the United Mine
Workers of Illinois, called by State Presi-
dent Crawford of the mine workers, was
held in this city. State President Craw
ford presided. Operators representing
about so properties were present. Nation
al President Mcbride of the United Mine
Workers of America, in addressing the
operators, told them that the central aDd
southern Illinois fields were the greatest
drawbacks to an adjustment of national
strike, and if an agreement could be reach
ed between the operators and miners in
those fields that would place them on a
competitive basis with the remainder of
the country the strike would be settled.
F. w. Tracy of Springfield, Paul Morton
of Chicago, James w. Ellsworth of Chi
cago, representing railroad coal properties
in Pennsylvania; Ben Warren of Peoria,
Thomas Spellman of Danville and many
other operators spoke, favOring fair and
amicable adjustment.
An agreement signed by 10 operators in
the Peoria and Canton fields restoring
wages to last years scale was announced
by representatives of those districts who
said it would be put into effect as soon as
the men return to work. Representatives
of the Pana and of the Consolidated Coal
companys mines refused to meet the
miners executive board at this meeting,
and the responsibility for the cutting of
prices below remunerative figures was
thrown on them. 1t was deemed inexpe-
dent to submit any proposition to the ex-
ecutive board unless representatives of
these properties were brought into confer
ence. After much discussion commit
tee consisting of Paul Morton of Chicago,
Thomas Spellman of Danville and Colonel
John S. Lord of this city was appointed in
accordance with a resolution passed to
send invitations to all operators of Illinois
to attend an operators meeting to be held
here next Thursday A delegate meeting
of Illinois miners will be held here the
same day. President Mcbride assured
the operators that the national strike was
in such shape that when fair scale was
agreed on by the Illinois operators the
strike would be settled at once.

The Danger of Overtraining.

The recent death of Walter G. Dohm, one
of the finest amateur athletes that America
has produced, was partly due to overtrain-
ing and should serve as stern object les
son to too ambitious athletes. Dohm was
plucky in every fiber, and he often ran when
a winning effort would be followed by a
complete but temporary physical collapse.
He without doubt injured his lungs and
brought on the pulmonary troubleithat
causedihis death. Dohm's first speciality
was tkdquarter mile, in which he was cham-
pion of1the United States and Canada in
1888 and 1889, and he also won the halfmile
championship in 1891. Behm had covered
half a{mile in minute 541x seconds, which
very nearly squaled the worlds record Of
4 minuts 81 rs seconds, held by n ], *

PoMERoY, o., May 29.-The steamboat
load of striking miners which left here to
visit the mines down the river to stop
work in three mines returned, having
stopped the two mines on the Ohio~side.
Fifty men dropped their tools and joined
the procession. Middleport citizens fur
nished a free dinner for the 500 men in the
ranks. At Spillman, w. Va, where the
premises are guarded by a gatling gun
and deputy sheriffs the boat was not
permitted to land with the strikers. This
is the only mine in operation in this dis
trict. The same steamboat will be char
tered today, and 800 strikers will mass a
mile above there and go into camp until
the men in the mine quit work.
