THE STARVING MINERS.
DestitutiOn That Exists in the Hooking
Valley Declared to BE Blot Upon the
State of Ohio.
BY the United Press.

State of Ohio.
BY the United Press.
Columbus, o., Jan. ia gentleman
who resides in the Hooking valley and
is pretty familiar with the condition of
the miners there. was here today.
He says the miners have been in
destitute circumstances for some time
and that the matter was reported to
the officials of the United Mine Work.
ers, but they practically ignored the
matter, probably because they did not
comprehend the real truth.
When they failed to take action, the
miners themselves appointed commit
tees, who for the last two months have
been going quietly about the country
soliciting aid, which they claimed was
for Hooking Valley railroad men who
lost their situations by reason of the
strike ON that road last summer
This, the gentleman claimed, was
done in order that the public might not
know that the miners were in impover-
ished circumstances. The gentleman
said he had heard 1t charged that the
United Mine Workers of Illinois had
advised that the matter be kept from
the public, but he doubted the truth of
this.
So far as known they have not at
tempted to do anything for the benefit
of the sufferers. He further says the
destltution in the Sunday Creek val
ley completely overshadows that in the
Hooking valley or in and about Mel
sonville, where the first appeal came
from. He thinks the destitute there
will have ITO be cared for till spring at
least.
A newspaper man, who has just ar,
rived from the scene, says the desti-
tuition Is widespread, and that no writer
could draw a picture horrible enough
to do the matter Justice. He says 1t is
impossible to conceive how such condi-
tions could exist in a civilized coun-
try, and that it is disgrace to the state
of Ohio, which will not soon be blotted
out

New Ralibut Bank.

An announcement of great interest,
not only to the Gloucester fishermen
themselves, but to those who love hall
but steaks, was made a few days ago.
1t is that new halibut bank has been
discovered northeast of Newfoundland,
said to be teeming with fish, vessels
having no trouble in loading to the gun,
wales in two days fishing. This in
dustry was nearly ruined last winter,
and the new find is a source of great
encouragement to the men who have
been fighting against hard luck for a
long time. The bank is apparently ex,
tensive, and so far there have been no
choice spots developed, one part being as
good as another. 1t costs about 49,
cents a pound to ship Pacific halibut
East, and ~ cents is now as low as it
can be proftably sold for. The Atlantic
halibut readily brings 2 cents pound
more on account Of it's superior quality,
and Gloucester people are looking for,
ward to a harvest from the new bank.

nificent apartment finished in old oak,
and ordering what ones taste may sug-
gest. About 8 o'clock Mrs. Vanderbilt
and her daughter usually go out for a
spin on their wheels if the weather per-
mits, and at IL they repair to nearby
Baileys Beach, where only those New
port cottagers who own lighthouses are
allowed to battle. Here they meet their
friends from the surrounding villas, and
enjoy a bath in the surf. A drive into
town generally follows the bath, and on
most days a stop at the Casino for per-
haps half an hour to listen to the or
chestra and to chat with other friends
assembled there. During July and Sep
TENDER the Vanderbilts, in common with
other Newport cottagers, usually return
home to lunch Or rather to the dejeuner
a la fourchette, which is entirely an in
formal meal, and to which a few inti-
mate friends are very apt to drop in.
In August, which is the month of the
season, this midday meal, although al
ways served and ready, is very apt not
to be partaken of by the family or their
guests, as picnics, yachting and luncheon
parties are of almost daily occurrence.
On days when no midday entertain
ments occur the two hours following
lunch are spent in resting, reading, or in
those little family conferences which the
management of great house, even when
we'll systematiZed and having well-drilled
servants, make necessary. About 4
o'clock the ladies dress for the afternoon
drive on the avenue, which, although be-
ginning to lose little of it's Importance
at Newport, is still recognized social
function.
The drive home is followed by another
change of toilet for dinner, the function
of the Newport day, and which during
the season is rarely served before s
o'clock. This dinner is generally attend
ed by guests, the family rarely sitting
down alone, and on two evenings of the
week, at least, becomes a formal ban
quet, sometimes of twenty covers, which
is served with the utmost smoothness,
and, of course, embraces all the delica-
cies of the season.-Harper's Bazaar.

he does not earn 100000. Reverte once,

The Ferris Wheels London Rival-3OO
Feet High, with 40 Cars.
Alter considerable delay owing to the ne
cessity for a thorough testing of the
gear, the great wheel at the Empire of
India exhibition, Earl's court, was on
Saturday afternoon opened to the public.
A large company had been invited to wit
ness the opening ceremony. The chris
tening was performed by Lady DOWell,
wife of Sir William Dowell, the chair
man of the Gigantic Wheel and Recrea-
ton Towers company (lmlted), by which
one wheel has been constructed.
At the close of a short ceremony the
wheel was started and, carrying several
hundred persons, the revolution was sue
cessfully accomplished in about forty
minutes. The whole of the machinery
worked smoothly. Owing to slight hazi-
ness of the atmosphere the view, which
on a clear day will be very extensive,
was somewhat obscured.
The motion is hardly perceptlble, and
as frequent StOppageS are made to al
low the cars as they reach the earth
to be emptied and rehlled, ample OPP
portunity is afforded passengers to enjoy
the panoramic view of London to the
east and north and the country to the
west. So quietly and smoothly do the
cars move that a sense of security and
freedom from all risk is impaired. The
wheel has been constructed under the
personal superintendent of Mr.. Bassett,
who is also it's designer It was begun
early last year and is built throughout
of steel. It has an altitude of 800 feet

GOLF COSTUMES.
Proper Things to Wear for that Rapidly
Growing Sport

The autumn weather serves as a fresh
impetus to golf, and women are as much
interested in having their golf costumes
as in ordering their ball gowns for the
winter season. While the costumes worn
all summer by the golfers were, of course,
cut on the stated lines, the materials used
were not the same as those for winter
wear for much heavier and warmer fab
RIGS are not suitable. The cheviots and
tWeeds that are now to be had are ex-
ceedingly smart and there is an immense
variety to choose from.
The skirts. cut to reach to the tops of
the boots, or a little below, have the full
ness altogether in the back, and are of
heavy enough material to need no lining.
A facing of heavy cloth, or leather, makes
a nice finish and keeps the skirt from
shrinking.
No one color is insisted upon and the
cheviots are to be had in such mixed and
broken patterns it would be difficult to
say positively what is the predominating
color. The Norfolk jacket is the favorite
cut of waist, and with revers, cuffs and
belt of the same as the facing looks very
smart. The economical woman finds her
golf costume will do duty for her bicycle
gown as well. and vice versa, but the
woman who can spend money as she likes
has gown for each.-New York Herald.

Religion in a Family.

1t is a remarkable thing in regard to
little people that it is almost never too
early to approach them with religious
suggestion, writes Rev. Charles III.
Parkhurst, ID. D., in the Ladies' Home
Journal. 1t is not what we say to them
that makes them religious, it is the re-
ligious instinct already in them that
makes ineligible to them whatever of
a religious kind we say to them. The
best that child can become in this, as
in every other respect, accrues from
wisely handling and fostering some i'm
pulse already contained in the child S
original dowry. If the beginnings of in
diVidual religion were not an implant no
method of treatment, no ingenuity of
culture could suffice to establish such a
beginning. Religion can be immanent in
the child, and even be a part of his ex-
perience, without his being able yet to
know it as religion, or being able to COM
prehend the illusions made to it by his
elders. 1t holds in the twilight
of life what is true in each dawning, that
it begins to be morning a good while be-
fore there is sunshine enough in the air
for the sun-dial to be able to tell us
what o'clock it is * y The infants
eyes are full of light waiting to be greet
ed by the light of the sun so soon as it's
lids are lifted. The heart Of the child is
tuned to the things of God, and it's
strings are ready to become musical so
soon as they are touched by hand that
knows how to stir them into resonance.
1t is a good while before the child and
the earth come very close to one another,
but on the contrary Heaven lies about
us in our infancy"

A Farmer's Find.

John Stauffer has made an important
discovery of anthracite coal on his farm,
back of Cherry Run, w. Va, twenty
miles south Of Hagerstown. With the
aid of his son and one hired man he has
mined during the past two or three
months twenty tons of coal, and landed
the same at the top of 60-foot shaft
by hand. The coal was carefully COW
cred, and the mining went on in the
strictest secrecy by the light of an ordi-
nary coal oil lamp. Stauffer has now
started from the bottom of the shaft to
tunnel into the mountain, The vein is
very thick and the coal has been pro-
nounced equal to Shamokin Valley prod
uct. Stauffer's tract embraces 1000
acres, but the land is poor and his means
are limited. Some time ago options
were secured on neighboring lands, but
prospecting met with no results. Before
Stauffer had investigated the extent of
the vein he is now working he tried to
enlist the aid of local capitalists in the
formation of a company, but was not
successful. After this he started right
in to work, keeping his movements secret
and making surprising discoveries.

THOUSAND WORDS A MINUTE.
Experiments with PATRICK b. Delany's
New Telegraph System.

Experiments with Patrick B. Delany's
New Telegraph System.
An experiment of more than usual in
terest was made in Philadelphia by well
known experts today to determine the
practical value of the new high speed sys-
tenn of machine telegraphy recently
brought out by Patrick B. Delany, by
which he proposes to do the mail business
by wire instead Of train, at cost so low
that a very large percentage of business
communications between distant cities
will be thus transmitted.
The new system is worked automatical-
", punched tape taking the place of the
sending operators. Over a single wire as
many as 1000 words a minute can be sent
between points as far distant from each
other as New York and Chicago.
The weather was not propitious for a
test, but the first message sent, over a
line of high resistance, 21S miles long, was
received in perfectly legible shape, as was
every other one sent The speed which
was at first 100 words minute. was in
creased to $40 a minute without any de-
crease in the legibility.
Mr.. Delany stated that with a wire
weighing $50 pounds to the mile, which
would give a line resistance much less
than that used today, he could send 1000
words minute with equal legibility, and
at cost not exceeding 5 cents for fifty

NO WHITE MAN ALLOWED.
A Town in Tennessee Where the Inhabi-

A Town in Tennessee Where the Inhabi-
tants Are All Negroes.
The publication some time back
of the article mary a Niger" descript-
i've of a Southern town in which there
was not single negro, has evoked a
counter article, descriptive of a town
in which there is no white man. This
town is on Judson island in the MISSISSIPPI
pi river, just north Of Memphis. 1t is q
negro town and is owned by a negro
planter. The island is eleven miles in
The town is a taxing district and is not
incorporated. Judson is the name of the
place, named after the white planter
whose son is the mulatto owner of the
island. The case in which he won the
rich property in contesting the will of
the dead planter is well remembered in
Tennessee, and the courts duly allowed
him part of the inheritance, since he was
the only living son of Judson.
So far as known Judson is the only
negro town in America where there is
not a white man. Elmer Judson, it's
wealthy owner, allows no white man to
come except on a visit. The town has
456 inhabitants and is well organized
since Judson is highly educated and
progressive man. lie owns everything
itants are his tenants. He is Justice of
the peace and has provided happy homes
for the men who work for him and enjoy
his bounty. The island is about eight
miles in length and in few places is not
more than sixty yards wide. The land is
unusually rich and fine crops are pro-
duced every year. There are six stores
in the place, with a few shops, two
churches and a school.-Savannah Press.
