ALL WERE WRONG BUT HIM.
But the Eleven Obstinate Jurors Finally

But the Eleven Obstinate Jurors Finally Came to a Sensible Conclusion.
 The obstinacy which is said to be characteristic of the Scotch is illus trated in the following story, which was recently related to writer for the New York Advertiser: My father" sad the narrator, ''came oyer about seventy-fve years ago and settled in Michigan, which, in that part at any rate, was a semi-wilderness. As the country grew more settled my father, from the mere fact of his having been pioneer, became very prominent in civic affairs in the community. He was very conscientious, but extremely inpatient of contradiction, never un- derstanding why a person could dis agree with him, when he was ss plain ly correct in his position. We'll, one night, contrary to his usual custom, he did not come home to supper. Eight o'clock came and the whole family was in bed and still he had not arrived It was after one o'clock in the morning that his heavy step was heard on the stairs. My mother, who had been anxious, met him with light in her hand.
 ' Where have you been?' she asked, looking at him seriously.
 :" Been on jury he growled.
 "'Why did you stay so late?'
 Stay so late? There were eleven obstinate devils on that jury and it took me all night to convince the1..'"
 KILL the non-layers, for they are only eating away the profit margin.
 WHEN necessary, take the chill off the drinking water and supply regu- larly.
 LESS grain is to be fed when bones and vegeta bles are supplied in abund- ance.
 KEEP only young, active, prolific layers and select from them to breed from.
 LEAVE nothing to chance in keeping poultry. Have an intelligent system and attend to details.
 NEGLECT the chickens and bullets and they cannot be expected to do as well as if well cared for.

NEARLY ALL IN THE PITS.
General Resumption of Operations
in the Pennsylvania
Mines,

Pittsburg, Pa, June 1S.-The settle
ment of the great coal strike and the re-
turn to work today of $4,000 of tie 20,
900 miners in this district has given an
impetus to all kinds of business, and the
situation is more hopeful than at any
time for many months. Among the large
plans III this city which resumed today
afer long idlencss, were the Carbon Iron
and Steel company'S works, Oliver s
TWenty-SiXth street works, Iug q Cos
works, Schoenberger 4 Howe and Brown
q Co.'S plants. The latter has been shut
down for two years and started up III
full, giving employment to 800 men. The
Black Diamond steel works will also be-
gin operations this week. and the Edgar
Thomson steel works will start as soon as
a sufficient supply of coke is received. At
Mckeesport everything is quiet, but 1T IS
thought the tube works will start up soon,
as many of the strikers have expressed
Il Willingness to return whenever the firm
was ready TO resume. At ScOttdale, the
Scottdale Iron and Steel company's plant
resumed in full after an idleness of sew
eral weeks.
A well-informed authority in the coal
business estimates that the coal strike in
this district has cost the miners III wages
S1,SO0OOO, taking it for granted that the
normal output of the region had been
maintained In proportion to the general
output this district mined about one-siXth
of the coal dug in the area affected by the
strike. With Il reasonable proportion be-
tween the prices paid in this and other
districts, the loss in the entire strike field
in wages alone. says the same authority,
would be over S10,0OO.OOO. Estimating
the gain of the miners by the settlement
of the strike to be 10 cents Il ton over
former prices it will take them about one
and half years to make up by increase
of earnings for the time they have lost.

HATCH HAS THE VOTES.
He Succeeds in Getting His Anti pit on
Measure Before the House.

Washington, D. c., June 1S.-"Farmer"
Hatch made good his promise of last week
by briaging to the front in the House to-
day his anti-option bill. He had fight
on his hands from the start Representa-
tive Bynum was the first man to cross
swords with Col. Hatch By speaking
against Hatch's motion for the House to
go into committee of the whole to consider
revenue bills, Hatch's PLAN of course, be-
ing to take up the anti ?option measure
Representative Bailey, who welded the
gavel in the absence of Speaker Crisp,
seemed disposed to favor Hatch in his
rulings. All points of order made against
Hatch's motion were overruled. The first
vote resulted 10 to y in favor of going
into committee of the whole A point of
no quorum was made and Hatch called for
the yeas and nays. There was no appar-
ent disposition among the anti-option OBJ
ponentS to filibuster very long so the
prospects were before the roll call was
completed that the anticipation measure
would get right Of way. Hatch's motion
was carried by big majority. There has
never been Il doubt but that Hatch could
get his bill up and pass it. The opposi-
ton Will fight to a finish, but they expect

IMPORTS OF FOREIGN EGGS.

This is remarkable exhibit. We find
during the eight years from 1888 to 1890,
when we had free trade in eggs. that we
imported on an average more that 1880
900 dozen eggs every year; over 124,315,-
900 dozen of foreign eggs sold in this
country in eight years. What an enor-
nous quantity! What did they cost?
During the eight years we paid away to
foreign farmers more than SIS, ITO, 600 for
eggs alone in good American money. We
paid away over $2,596,000 every year for
foreign eggs; almost $4,000 every week

When the Mckinley tariff was drawn
the Sugar trust was not prominent at
Washington; it is now. The non-trust re-
finers were prominent then; today there
are none. The Sugar trust now retlnes
all the | 100000 tons melted. The plea
made by the non-trust refiners then was
that without protection they would be alb
sorbed by the trust. Their establish
ments were smaller, their expenses larger
and their margin narrower The plea
had weight. The figures laid before the
House and Senate committees, not by
the trust but by its opponents, were con-
yIncIng. They have proved deceptive.
5aVlng secured the duty on refined on the
plea that competition would be rendered
possible by 1t, these very refiners sold out
TO the trust The duty on refined was
secured by the pleas of non-trust refiners,
and once secured its profit and advantage
went to the trust, but not at once
As the New York Times said May IS,
1872, and the Times is no friendly critic,
when the Mckinley bill was passed the
trust could not take full advantage of
this duty because of the existence of
three competing reineries in Philadel
phla Not long, however. after the adOp-
ton Of the new tariff the trust obtained
possession of these refineries, paying
more than S11.OO0.00O for property that
was not worth more than SI,OOO,OOO at
a fair valuation" Today this COMPETE
ton has been over three years. The only
reason for which a duty was imposed i'll
1890 is gone. The duty should go too.
Sugar should be free. both raw and re-
fined. 1t was a mistake to impose q
duty in 1890. 1t was expected to aid
competition. 1t was used to improve ehe
price at which competing retineres were
sold, Today there is practically no com
petition. The trust stands alone. Any
duty on refined sugar will flow into its
Golfers and yet the Democratic Senate
proposes in a disguised form to continue
when competition has ceased duty I'M
posed solely to promote competition ana
only on the plea of competing retineries.
