OF those interruptions operators
who precipitated the strike by reducing
wages to the starvation point, and who
are profiting by the troubles, l fear
little could be accomplished, because
honest operators VINO are ready to make
any fair arrangement will not confer
with those who refused to respect the

dale. as follows
''After q conference with the oper-
ators of the Central Pennsylvania they
are willing and offer to pay the highest
wages in competitive districts in the

could not arrange some plan by which the
same rate going north as that coming
south should obtain. For the purpose of
doing away with the objection made by
the railroad companies the association
unanimously agreed to make the propo-
sition that they would pay all their
freight in advance, and that
they would stand any risk
from its perishing after reaching it's
destination. This would do away with
the objection made By the railroad com
pauies and would guarantee them against
the loss of the freight. The committee
will see the representatives Of the rail
roads and find out If some arrangement Of
this kind cannot be made.
OTHER MATTERS ACTED ON.
Among other visitors present were Mr.
Eber Blodgett, of Charleston, and Mr.. A.

in the interests of the firms to which
they belong, which make barrels and
crates of all kinds such as are used by

After discussing the matter of barrels
and crates pro and con, the secretary was
instructed to correspond with different
firms making them and find out what
rates could be obtained on them In large
lots. This will be done for the benefit of
the association. AS Secretary Exley ex-
planned, this was not farmers alliance
action, but was intended merely for the
information and benefit Of the association,
and no bid is to be binding on any Of its
members.

PROPOSALS OF MARRIAGE.
Some Reflections on an Important
Matter-Theortes.
From the San Francisco Argonaut.

From the San Francisco Argonaut.
Are proposals premeditated or noti Do
men make up their minds to marry, or do
they drift into marriage, so TO speak2
Does propinquity or opportunity bring
about greater number Of proposals than
does actual intentions This is problem
that greatly perplexes mothers with mar
riageable daughters, and they are at a
loss to understand why it is that their
daughters admirers do not develop into
suitors; The, girls are pretty well
dressed, and of ages ranging from
10 10 2S, and they experience
no lack of attention from the men of
their different sets, men who ride, dance,
aud play tennis with them, and with
whom they are on the best of terms
Mothers, looking back TO their own
girlhood, are dismayed at the difference
between the past and the present and
each matron remem bers that she was
wooed and won within, say, a few weeks
Of first meeting, whereas her daughters
are still unsought after months OF con-
slant companionship. Is IL that in former
days men were impulsive as well as inn
questionable, and that In these days they
are impressionable but not impulsiyel Or
is IL that the comradeship that is now es-
tablished between young men and girls
robs the situation OF every shade of ro-
nance, while this footing OF frank friend
ship induces girls 10 assume sort of
brusque, self-reliant, independent bearing,
the reverse OF sentimental and confding2
This may account in some measure for
the position that girls occupy toward
men, but hardly sufficiently so 20 be the
only cause for the gravity OF the situa-
ton. Anyhow, it is humiliating TO their
powers Of attraction 10 find that, after
months Of pleasant social intimacies, the
most valued acquaintances cool on.
From statistics CLEANED from conhden-
ces and careful observations, IL may DO
laid down that very young men are less
