BEHIND THE sCENEs WITH sOAiE
CORPORATIONS.

A clerk in a Pennsylvania Coal Com
pany supply store" has made some in
teresting revelations regarding that par.
ticular method of robbing the working
man. There are twenty-seven supply
stores" In the Pennsylvania coal and
coke region, Notwithstanding the State
law on the subject. and all are owned
by the coal companies or by heavy
stockholders In the corporations.
Twenty thousand miners or employees OF
coke ovens are compelled to deal at
these stores, and assuming that the av-
erage annual purchases of customer
reaches 5000, we have 81, 900, 900 as the
total of the business. All the supplies
for all these stores are bought for cash,
bv one man, who has an Office in Pitts
burg. and the employe quoted says be
is enabled, by the magnitude Of his or
ders, and spot cash payments, to buy
from Is to % per cent cheaper than the
individual private merchant, while the
store prices to miners are from 10 to 25
per cent. higher than at other stores,
In other words, he figures
profit to the "pluck-me" store OF from
% 70 so per cent. on total annual
business of 81, 900, 900, and concludes
that the stores are often far more profit
able to the Coal Companies than the
mines. These Company stores have DO
bad debts, as other merchants have. A
miner can only obtain goods when he
has money coming to him from the
Coal Company. When he exhausts that
balance, he can obtain no more supplies
until he has done more work, and as a
result OF this system he often sees no
cash for months at time.
In other words, it is the PULLMAN
system in another form. At Pullman
the employe earns certain amount by
mis- labor, and the Company offsets it
for rent, water, gas, improvements,
schools, library, etc, all returning a
large percentage Of profit. In the coal
regions, it is very much the same, and
under both systems the employees are
virtually slaves.
1t is little wonder that wronged and
desperate men sometimes add lawless-
ness aud rioting to strikes, in frenzied
attempt TO obtain some relief or redress.
THE fact that California last year
paid out $500, 900 for coyote scalps and
that is is estimated that $3.50. 600 will be
required for this purpose that year, sug-
gests the thought that perhaps the nat
ural increase Of these animals is being
aided by the care and attention Of some
enterprlsing citizens with turn for

GETTING READY TO HEpeE.

Business men and manufacturers VINO
have been waiting to determine wnere
they were TO be left by the Democratic
tariff tinkers will now have some tangible
basis upon which they can lay their plans
for the future Conditions will be changed
by the passage of the tariff act, but GER
tainty regarding those changes is infinitely
better than uncertainty and doubt. There
is every reason TO believe tnat a CONNER
cial and industrial revival will follow the
action of Congress. Everything has been
at q low ebb so long that reaction is IN
evitable.-CleUeldnd Leader, Republican.
OF course business will revive, and
the wheels of industry will commence
going around. The recuperative pow
ers Of this vast and rssourceful country
are wonderful, and the business inter
ests could not well be held In check.
Still, now that we have an improve
ment on the Mckinley monstrocity,
which ruined It's author and other
prominent Ohioans financially and
brought on the terrible industrial de-
preston, from which we were slowly
emerging, the people may ex-
pact steady and continued
improvement 10 view of the
passage OF the Senate bill. All good
Republican papers will now change
their howl, and yell that the revival was
coming without regard TO what action
Congress took; that the Senate bill is
drawn on the lines of the Mckinley bill,
and therefore there is no credit due the
Democrats.
But the ABOVE premises are false and
the people know it. These very same
Republican papers have been teaching
for the past eighteen months that any
bill the Democrats passed, however
much it might be modification Of what
the Democratic party wished as whole,
would be disastrous to the country.
The Republicans cannot crawl out Of
that deep and wide pit dug by them
selves and into which they have fallen
and are scrambliDg about, looking for
pretext upon which TO climb out. or
course the passage of the Senate bill
will make business better, and the
Democrats will be entitled to the benefit
of the upward tendency in the affairs
of the country, despite the raving and
clawing OF the air by the opposition.

Saved by a Buffalo.

The forest land of Southern India
possesses breed of buffaiOeS vastly
superior to the hare-skinned. ungainly
creatures common to the plains of india.
They are shaggy-haired, massive and
short iointed, with short, thick, SYM
metricaIly-curved horns. They are
trained as beasts of burden. and possess
immense strength. A bull of this breed
is match for tiger.
A herd of buffaloeS were grazing on
the outskirts OF the forest at Soopah,
with the herder on guard short dis
lance away. A tiger came out of the
forest, and tried by roaring to stampede
the herd.
The herdsman manifested great
bravery. shouted, beat his heavy quar-
ter-Staff on the ground, and tried to
scare the brute off, not thinking OF his
own danger, but that of his herd. Sud-
denly the tiger rushed for ward, Sprang
upon the man, Knocked him down, and
stood over him growing.
The bull of the herd, pugnaclous
creature, now charged Savagely upon
the tiger, and rolled him over and over.
The bull was so quick in his motions
a disadvantage. He neither bit nor
scratched the bull. but gathered himself
up and galloped off into the forest. The
bull shook himself, beloved. pursued
his enemy a few yards, and tnen went
quietly to feeding, as If vanqulshing a
tiger was an everyday occurrence.
The herdsman was not injured by the
tiger, but received a wound in the leg
from the BULBS sharp horn, inflicted
when the buffalo knocked over the
tiger.

Another victory must be added to the
splendid list already made by Walter
Wilmot. In the tournament game last
night at Foiey's billiard hall. Wilmot
met fhayer. They played so innings.
and the result showed that Wilmot was
again winner. the score standing 800
to 19i In Wilm0t's favor-or an average
of g. Wilmot made double figures thir-
teen times, while Thayer doubled but
eight times. Among Wilmot's high
runs were: IL, II. 10. 81, II, Is. "a. 16,
10, %. Is, r. 10. Thayer's high run
record showed: 16, II. -, IL. Is.
16. Is, 10. 1t was All Interesting contest
from start to finish. Like magic
spheres did the ivory balls glide over
the green cloth, and it was easy to see
that he was steadily gaining over his
opponent. Thayer did not play his
usually clever game, and for some rea.
son things would not come his way.
The balls proved ''quite contrary" and
he fell in the race, full 103 points be-
hind his competitor. Evidently his
mascot-the genii of his cue and ball
were away on vacation. In another
contest they will return. and Thayer
will make more gallant fight and get a
better show for his white alley.
Next Tuesday night Glow will meet
Capen, OF Minneapolis. and no forecast
can now be made Of the possible result.

Arthur b. Mallett writes to theGIoBE
another letter anent fencing matters,
and in answer 10 the one published on
Thursday from Mr.. Riebe, of Chicago.
These letters are all of interest, as they
tend to encourage line OF sport-fenc-

orally have but little knowledge. MIR.
Mallett says. among other things, the
following:
After reading Mr.. Riebe's second let
ter, published in your issue OF Thurs
day, last, IL is quite evident that he
cannot contest with me, as he states
that he is strictly all amateur swords
man, and is not DESTROYS of entering the
professional class, to which ] certainly
belong. having contested with TWO pro-
feSSionai men, coupled with the fact
that | have received payment for i'll
struction. Mr.. Rlebe, then, holds the
amateur championship of the North
west, which leaves me the professional
champion of the Northwest until defeat
Ell. 1t was not my earnest desire 10
ascend INTO the professional sphere. but
after receiving such determined chai-
lenge from Prof. Lindiey (betore all au-
dience) there was only one thing left for
me 70 do. and that was to contest with
him; which prevents any one wishing
to be strictly amateur from contestlug
with me.

developed in the art. Mr.. Hurley is
strictly amateur, and is ready to meet
Mr.. Riebe for the title the latter now
holds in Chicago, providing his eX-
pense5 are paid, should he win OF lose.
Now in regard 10 the proposed contest
with Capt. Frank E. Yates, instructor
to the Chicago Athletic association. and
myself, offer the following conditions:
Ii the Chicago Athletic association Will
offer purse for such contest, and will
SO arrange it that the loser receives at
least $50. which amount would fully
cover my expenses should be defeated,
for even though hold my present title,
| am not at everybody'S call without
title consideration OF the expenses such
distant calls necessitate. | have as
much right, and perhaps more, since L
hold the title, to have the contest come
off in st. Paul; but knowing that fenc-
ing contests will not draw a crowd here,
in face of which sct not even expenses
could be derived from the proceeds,
whilst in Chicago. where keener in
tereSt is taken in fencing matters, two
contests OH the same night, one for anna
teur and the other professional cham-
pionshlp, ought to prove big drawing
caro-. Let Prof. Yates and Mr.. Riebe,
if they mean business, agree to the
above conditions, and we will only be
too glad 10 have this matter settled
without any further letters in the press.

BADLY TAKEN IN.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
The Midway Plaisance at the worlds
fair was accepted by visitors with good
humored indulgence, and must of its
shortcomings were received agreeably
rather than otherwise. as confirming
preconceiyed notion that the Midway
was a semi-fake. Today, however,
there must be fully 10000 people in this
country who are damning the Midway
to the four corners of the Imagination.
The articles of jewelry which they
bought there for gold are turning black
and green.
1t is a sad fact, but very, very true.
A Sun reporter bought two gold rings
at the Constantinople Bazaar, and
silver souvenir spoon in the streets of
Cairo. For these he paid quite as much
as any jeweler OH Broadway would have
charged perhaps more. They remained
bright ana untarnished while the fair
lasted, but now the rings are getting
green and the spoon Is turning black.
He communicated this tact to several
friends, and learned that their expert
ence had been the same. One man said:
81 bought half dozen souvenirs at
the booths in the Turkish bazaar, and
paid stiff prices for them. 1t wasn't
until few days ago that | found that

reporter this letter:
''Dear Uncle: My nice locket you
sent me is all black. and mamma says
she thinks it's sWindle. but she says
you didn't mean it. Anyway, a girl in
my class got ring from her papa, who
went to the fair, and her finger is all
black from it, so you see you amt the
only one. Amt they the cheats,
thought"
'That isn't ALL" he went on. 81
bought cigarette holder for myself,
and the other day noticed that the gold
band around the amber was getting
rather green. l took it to a jeweler, and
he Told me it was merely all alloy OF
copper, and had only been covered by
very thin layer of gold.'
The reporter went to we'll known
jeweler OH Union square, and asked
him if he had received any commissions
to replate Midway gold. He laughed.
mo, have not" he answered. "All
the stuff that saw wasn't even worth
REPEATING. Several Of my customers
brought me little trinkets which they
had bought OH the Plaisance and asked
me what made them turn black and
green. L found that the metal was
either lead or copper alloy. and | ad
vised them to throw the souvenirs away.
1t seemed to ME as though they had
been plated with just sufficient gold or
silver to last until the fair closed"
