SOME STARTLING FACTS

Brought to Light by Gov. Mckinley
Commission In the Hooking and Sunday
Creek Vaileys-The Great National Coal
| Miners strike Principally Responsible
for the Starvation Existing-A Case De-
handing Prompt Attention.
COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 23.-The commits
sion appointed at the instance of Gov.
Mckinley by the boards of trade and
| chambers of commerce of Cincinnati,
| Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo to
make an official investigation of the
restitution of miners in the Hooking
and Sunday Creek valleys, have dis
covered some startling facts.
In the localities so far visited the
commission has discovered that each
miner last year earned only from S75
to SIPS. largely on account of the great
national strike, and that by working
regularly they could have earned from
81 to S. every day.
In reference to the nationality of the
| miners, it has been learned that in
Jacksonville they are almost entirely
American and English; in Shawnee the
majority are Welsh; in Buckingham
they are largely German, and in
Straitsville they are pretty evenly dis
German and Irish.
1t was also stated that of the 10000
Or $4,000 miners in the two valleys,
fully one-third, representing, with
their families, nearly $4,000 persons.
are in greater or less distress.
With reference to future prospects,
all the miners declare they are not en-
couraging. They are almost unit in
declaring that there are at least so per
cent too many miners in the two val
leys for the amount of work that can
be supplied, and many of them are
making preparations to locate on farms
or seek other employment
The committee hope to get through
with the investigation by this even
ing, when they expect to return to this
city and make their report to the gov
ernor.
They have discovered that distress ex-
lists to degree which demands more
than ordinary attention.

DISTRESSING RESULTS
OF the Too Close Intermarrying o
Cousins.

BRAMPToS, Ont, Feb. 23.-Three
brothers named Mcclure. who have a
farm near Brampton, were brought
here yesterday and lodged in Jail,
charged with having made a murder
Gus attack upon their mother.
The family have been acting
strangely for some time, and recently
they killed all their hogs and threw
them away, believing the end of the
world was near and that food would
not be required. 1t is thought that
close intermarrying of cousins may
have had something to do with the Ia
mental BILE case.

The New York Young Man.

On Sunday morning the west side of
Fifth avenue is thronged with church
parade. There one sees in all his splen-
dor the New York young man. Some
how, Notwithstanding all his efforts to
be English, he never quite effects it.
Either his hat is too curly, his coat too
long, or his trousers overpressed. He
looks like an advertisement for a fash
lonable Manchester tailor, and represents
the wide difference between gentleman
ly and gentleman. My impression is,
by the way, they will never be able to
produce the breed of American gentle
men until they manage to buy up and
transplant an English public school,
with all its traditions and style. At
present the gilded youth here seem to be
in the transition stage between the cow
boy and the masher; they talk very low,
between their teeth they call each 9TH
er "old man." and describe the theater
last night as the ''rottenest show" but
next minute ont leaps the cowboy, either
in manners or talk, and the temporary
illusion is gone.-Temp1e Bar.

TO INVENTORS.

If you have made an invention you want
patent. And you want good one. There are
various kinds of patents. Some of them are
not worth keeping around the house. They
don't protect. 1t is as unsafe to trust to them
to a lightning rod without a ground con-
nection. That is the kind an inventor is like
ly to get when he draws up his own specifca-
tionS, or trusts the work to an irresponsible
attorney. 1t is not the kind dealt in by the
Press Claims Company.
Do you want to know what the Press Claims
Company is? 1t is a syndicate of hundreds of
