nrlnnr. Hmm Tho Nnus-

PHILPsBURG, Pa, May 20.-Word was
received here that tho coal operators Of the
Clcariield and neighboring districts had
meeting in Philadelphia and decided to re-
icct 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 counsclod him TO
take such q step.
The minors assert that 1t is tho belief
that tho governor has been used by some
of the operators for the purpose of nscer-
tanning If there was any SIGN of weaken
ing upon the part of the strikers. The
action of the operators in refusing TO ac-
cept the friendly offices of the governor i'm
ondeavoring 20 bring about n settlement
of the strike on business lines, the leaders
assert will mako the men moro deter
mined than over TO insist upon a fun COM
pliance with thoir demands, and they add
that they will not return TO work until
starved into submission.
Should the operators now attempt TO In
trOuuco now men, IL sooins certain TO bring
about a conflict, i'm which local sentiment
will be stronger than ever on the side of
the minors. 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 shoritfs or coal and iron
policemen will accompany them Every
Incoming train will therefore be watched
from this time on.
Except for the destruction of o 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, 600 miners
passed of without incident.
The place destroyed was on the route of
the parade to Oscoola Meetings worc
held hero and at Osccola and were adj
dressed by the district president of the
minors organization. Thomas Bradley.
who was on his way to adjust trouble at
one of the Oshanteo mines, was compelled
TO leave the train at Osccola and speak to
the miners As predicted would be the
case, the miners ignored the notice Of the
operators issued last wook, not man in
the entire district reporting for work

Tho strikers seem 90 have taken courage
from the action of Governor Waite and
affect TO believe that the militia would
tend to aid them in carrying out their
purposes. BE this as 10 may, the entire dis
trict is terrorized and the strikers, being
encouraged by the temporary withdrawal
OF the deputies, are becoming boldor 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
were found they were conflscated. No one
about the camps except strikers are per
mitted to carry arms, and the strikers,
who reign supreme, have issued the order
that every man, when the real contest
comes, will be forced to carry arms in
their ranks. The result is that many peo-
pie are moving away from the camps to
the city Of Cripple Creek and elsewhere.

mistake. There is frequently some sense

perienced reader-to decide that he will
not read it, OF course, we would not
advocate II as steady diet. There are
usually other things worth reading in
addition to the society column and the
patent medicine advertisements, but the
women, some Of them don't know it. In
fact, there is often gem Of common
sense and pearl Of inestimable value in
few lines teaching the amenities of
life Here is one Of them. Mrs. Edmund

much fresh air as eau easily be obtained +,

silver tongue, (from the tip of which all
spite has been removed. and an eye that
looks out on the brighter side Of life;
into this mixture throw pinch of humor

And there you are.
That is admirable There Is no doubt
but that, il that recipe is followed, the
result will be piece Of the staff Of life

take and sure to agree. II will prevent
