thought to be about the amount needed.

The affairs of the United Mine Work
erS of America in Anthracite District
no. l, headquarters in Pottsyillo, for
the present fiscal year, were wound up
last week. The new board win meet
again in PottsyIle in about month and
the work OF organizing new locals will
be pushed rapidly. Much dissatisfac-
tion exists among the members OF the
organization and miners generally, be
cause the rate Of wages in the region is
considerably below the $50 basis.
There are already in the hands of John
Fahey, of Pottsyille, member of the
national executive board, $1,000 peJi-
tions from miners in that region pro
testing against this probable permanent
low rate of wages and others are in cir
cuation and are being numerously
signed. As soon as all the petitions are
in some definite action in the matter
will be taken by the organization.

DRIFTON ITEMS.

Several breasts on the west side Of No.
l coliery have been stopped, and the
miners have been transferred to other
parts of the slope. All the coal in that
section which can be reached without
much labor is being taken down as
rapidly as.'possble. 1t is stated that
the workings, which extend westward
toward Lattimer, are rented property,
the lease OF which expires with this
month. There is quite a lot of coal
there yet, and no reasons are given why
the Lease will not be renewed.
Skating is one of the favorite pastimes
of the young folks. The big pond was
in first-class condition last week and the
sport was enjoyed by many.
Patrick McNelis, a miner in No.
slope, was painfully cut about the head
and body by pieces of coal falling upon
him on Saturday.

Fire in "A Chin ney.

Daniel Furey discovered large sparks
coming ont of the chimney OF his prop
erty on Ridge street, below Carbon, at
10o'c!ock on Thursday night. He called
at the council room and asked that the
tiremen be sent down. The alarm was
sounded, and in short while hose
carriage and the ladder truck were
there. The firemen went to the roof
and found that tho interior of chimney
contained lots of fire. Several buckets
of water were poured down and the
blazo was eXtingushed. There is no
question but that fierce fire would
have broken out in a few more hours.
The hremen report that the chimney
appears to be unsafe. Tho building is a
large double dwelling, and is occupied by
the families OF Mr.. Furey and William
Meehan.

Curlous Wind in a Mine.

One OF the most curious carboniferous
fossils over found in the anthracite coal
iield was discovered in the Dodge mine,
scranton, the other day by John 3.
Davis, a miner. 1t was the head and
neck of womans figure, the features
being regular and clearly defined.
The fossil weighs siXty-dve pounds and
is composed of fire clay, 1t is twcnty-
four inches high, fourteen inches from
the tip of the nose to the back of the
head, and the neck is nine inches in
diameter. The convolutions ON the top
Of the head resemble curls Of hair, and
they end in a knot such as is worn at
present in arranging the hair. The
miner found it imbcdded in solid piece
of fire clay, and it dropped out entire
when the chunk was broken.

The opera house was wel-dlled on
Saturday evening when Attorney Stroh

Strange Accident to a Hunter.

Samuel Lines, resident of Wilkes
barre, was shot dead on u Lehigh Valley
train on Friday evening, it is supposed
accdentlly. He had been hunting all
day on the mountains and boarded the
train at Newport. Soon after he sat
down there was a report, and the pas
sengers saw him topple over and fall to
the floor, with one side Of his head blown
off. Hc was dead when they reached
his side. He was sitting in the rear OF
the car, and as no one was behind him
it is not known just how the accident
occurred.
When the train reached Wilkesbarrc
the police were notified, but refused to
take the body, as the accident happened
outside the city. The family was then
notified by the railroad officials, De-
ceased was a retired merchant, 65 years
Of age, and leaves large family.

Every holder OF Il life insurance policy
in Pennsylvania is directly affected by
the proposed state tax on such policies
Just now Auditor General Mylin and all
county commissioners throughout the
state are trying to solve the meaning OF
the law. The blank Of the auditor gen
erals department regarding personal
property returns reads: 'AlI policies of
life insurance, whether full paid or not,
issued by foreign. domestic, stock, or old
line mutual (known as level premium
companiesl. must be returned by their
holder at their value at the time of their
assessment The rate of tax upon
these policies is the same as that on
mortgages, but the question is raised as
to whether they are taxed Mt all.
The auditor general, in official blanks,
has directed county commissioners to
require returns from policy holders,
making OF these returns is seriously OBJ
iected to in all parts OF the state. The
remedy can only be by the policy holder
refusing to make return of his policy or
by the auditor general changing the
ruling of his department. 1t is under
stood that the county commissioners
have asked the advice Of the auditor
generals department as to what CON
strnction is to be placed upon instruc-
tions sent out as to the value of these
policies, and whether it applies to all
kinds of policies.
1t affects insurance companies, as the
taxation of their policy holders would
lessen the amount of their business, and
it affects policy holders on the taxation
OF the values of their policies.

An interesting case of suspended
animation is reported from Duryea. this
county. Mrs. Rcmenski, u Polish
widow, was taken sick on Monday last
and became rapidly worse. She con-
tinued to sink and apparently died
on Tuesday afternoon. No physician, it
is said, was present when the supposed
end came. An undertaken OF Pittston
was called to prepare the body for burial
and measured it for a coffin, put the
Grape on the door, washed it and was ar
ranging TO inject embalming fluid into
it when the corpse opened it's eyes
and looked about the room in astonish-
ment. The undertaken, although badly
scared, had sufficient presence OF mind
TO run for physician, and the woman
was restored to consciousness, and is
now nearly recovered. Tho woman is
about 40 years old and had always been
strong and healthy. The physician
thinks the woman was in a hysterical
trance.

Is a dangerous symptom. II means
a lack Of vitality in the blood--a de-
crease Of the red corpuseles upon which
the strength and richness Of The blood
depends. II comes especially ia the
Spring because the system has been
subject TO unusual demands during the
cold weather. The wasted viqor must
be rc-supplied. That tired feeling
must be overcome, or else the ap-
preaching hot weather win have most
serious effects. The best
Spring Medicine
Is Hoods sarsaparilla, because it cures
That Tired Feeling by purifying, en-
riching and vitalizing the blood, eiv-
ing it power to carry health to every
organ of The body. It "mal,ea the
weak strong," not by stimulating but
by actually giving strength, by build
ing up the wasted energies, restoring
