That superb animal, Sandow, ''the strong
man." Is telling admiring interviewers that
the best health tonic a man can take is a
cold bath each morning. He Is probably
right as to the invigorating effects OF such
a course upon himself, but what Is good
for him might be death for another man
Of weaker physical powers. With his per-
feet health n powerful physique he finds
a stimulant and an agreeable sensation in
what to many would be an injurious ner-
vous shock. No one man can be a law for
another in any habit Of life, and though
many youths, emulous of athletic skill,
may follow his advice, some at least will
discover that for them the prescription was
not wise.

veyor Of customs in this city. In MAX
ing this astonishing charge without
mentioning any names Mr.. Bynum
raises a suspicion which may attach to
any one of a thousand persons. Hav-
ing remained silent for a whole year
concerning the matter he must not think
he has discharged his duty by making
this wholesale charge. The offense
which he charges is a criminal one.
Section 1881 of the United States Re-:
vised Statutes says
Every member of Congress who directly
or indirectly takes, receives or agrees to
receive any money. property, or other valu-
able consideration whatever from any per-
son for procuring or aiding to procure any
department thereof. or from any officer of
the United States for any person whatever,
and every person who directly or indirectly
offers or agrees to give or gives or bestows
any money, property or other valuable con-
sideration whatever for the procuring or
aiding to procure any Office or place Shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
shall be imprisoned not more than two
years and fined not more than 0,000.
The persons who offered Mr.. Bynum
money or a share of the proceeds Of the
collectors office for his influence in Sc
curing the place violated this section Of
the law and are still subject to punish
ment. AS a good citizen. not to speak
of the vindication of his own honor, Mr..
Bynum owes it to the cause Of public
justice and public morals to furnish the
names Of the persons who attempted to
bride him to the United States grand
jury.

ST. PAUL, April 20-President Hill re-
ceived a joint communication from tine
American Railway Union and the griev-
ance committees of the employees on strike,
requesting conference with the officers of
tn. union and the employees committee on
the adjustment and immediate settlement
of all differences between the company and
Its EN- Ioyes on an equitable basis. Presi-
dent Hills answer was received in less
than thirty minutes, stating that ''the
company is always ready to receive and
hear its employees, or their representatives,
on all matters affecting their relations
with the company" Although neither in
its address nor in its substance did the
answer mention or seem to recognize the
American Railway Union the officers of
the union announced themselves as in ev-
cry respect satisfied with it. and promptly
sent out notices TO the men alcng the line
to come to the conference.
Something Well Known To the lien.
When asked whether the men would
now return to work President Debs, of the
union, said the officers had no authority
to order the men to go out or to go to
work. that being decided by the men
themselves. Vice President Ciough, OF
the Great Northern, in an interview said:
'The company has stated time and time
again that it is always ready 10 hear its
employees who have grievances. The men
know this. The Great Northern has never
refused to hear an employe or committee
of employees" Regarding the matter of
allowing the employees to bring the union
or brotherhood leaders into the confer
ence, Colonel Clough explained that the
company was willing for them to bring in
LAWYERS, or any other persons they might
see fit
Hundreds Of applications from compe-
tent railroad men all over the United
| States have been received at the Great
Northern offices. None of these have been
accepted yet, as the company expects the
strike to be short lived. All OF the broth

THE COMING MINERS STRIKE.

Gloomy Outlook in the PENNSYLVANIA
Region-situation in Illinois.
DUBOIS, April 20-The strike to be inau-
gurated next Saturday will be general and
complete in the mines of this region. And
the outlook is worse than gloomy. The
Punxsutawney miners have come out en-
masse and before next Saturday the whole
region will be idle. The men who have
already struck Mt Reynoldsville, Dubois
and Punxsutawney are $500 strong, and
there are thousands yet to come out. The
miners at Reynoldsville, employed by the
Bell, Lewis q Yates company, have come
out and will stand with the rest of the
organized miners when the big strike is
inaugurated next Saturday.
At JOhnstown the strike among the BIZ
luminous coal miners will be started to-
day when 800 men will come out at
Hastings. On Saturday it is expected that
most of the men in this district Will strike
and that G,5u0 miners will be out in the
Sixth bituminous district. The district
covers seventy-eight mines, mostly north
OF Cambria county and along the Pennsyl-
vania railway.
