IT WAS TWO-FOLD. JOYOUS.
The Memory of Labor Day Heightened by an . Advance in the Wages of Miners.
 The Coal Outlook.

The celebration of Labor Day was of double import to the United Mine Work CTS 'a@organiza ations. Not only was it a daysspf jollihcation because of it's being a national holiday set apart as such in honsss of the laboring classes, but it was the eday on which the scale of wages being paid them for cutting coal was adyanced.
 Under the existing contract between the seoal mine operators and operatives, whea pig iron is quoted higher the scale of miners wages advances. The Tennes- seeECoal, Iron and Railroad company, as pgeViously announced, on September 1 advanced the price of pig iron 5o cents perIon, the present quotation on No. l foufzlry being Sl025. The miners scale waszalso advanced notch and the price flor fnining coal is now 45 cents per ton.
 W1h the going into effect of the above witM the Tennessee company follows a likez zadvance with the Sloss Iron and Ste1 company and other mine operators
 What this means need not be told. EY- cry Aadvance of 21a cents per ton Tor cut tong coal in this district means that mueh more wages dealt out to the coal miners. and the more money put III CIT culdtioh.

from the newspaper. AS a preacher
/ have always endeayored to make ey-
cry available stream of knowledge run
into the river that turns my mill.
Moreover, some years ago the fash
ion was set by that prince of editors,
L. H. kingsbury. LII. d., of the Will
mington Messenger. of publishing
some very fine Sunday reading for the
Sunday paper. And now many daily
papers are following the same plan;
and even the Northern dailies, great
and wicked as some of them are. are
paying the premium which intelli-
gence offers to the religion of Jesus,
Let us stop this everlasting barking
Mt the world around us, and trying to
abuse and force men into being good;
and let the Gospel of love and mercy
all men be preached and lived, and if
this does not "draw men, nothing
else will. The religion of the Christ IS
not an explosive to force men to re-
iigious life, but magnet; and de-
prived of its magnetism. it is worse
than useless as Il noise, and especially
when the noise is made by Pharisee-
ism.
Religion does not consist in the out
ward observance of forms-of Sabbath
days, and feast days or fast days--but
in having the mind that was in Christ.
"The kingdom of heaven is within
YOU" And if this be real, the obser-
vance of the SABBATH and all other
forms for an outward expression of
the life, will take care of themselves.
They are helpful, but not essential. a
belief in Christ Jesus that rectities the
life after His divine model is ail-suffi-
cient. He was love, mercy, piety. com
passion, tenderness, humble, pure. TO
be like Him is to be religious.

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.

REIDSVILLE, n. c., Nov. 30.-( Edi-
torial Correspondence just nine
years ago | was snow-bound in Reds
vile at a session OF the Methodist Con
ference. In all this busy town there
was nothing visible that was not puri-
ty itself for the deep and pure snow
wrought and covered it's imperfections
in mantle of white. There was not a
trace of tobacco in all this tobacco
market, nor of anything that was not
crystalized beauty, except the wreaths
of smoke that assembled from the chin
neys of hospitable homes. Some OF the
preachers who remembered the snow
storm of the last Conference here
shuddered at the thought of another
week OF cold weather, but were
cheered by lively remembrance of a
hospitality that thaWed even the snow
itself.
A greater contrast in the weather
between the 1886 Conference and the
Conference of 1895 could not be mag
med. Every man and woman here
feels to thank God for the perfect
weather which is in harmony with the
good-feeling, harmony and fellowship
that pervades the proceedings OF the
Conference. and the cordial, open
hearted and Biblical character of the
gracious hospitality of the people OF
that growing town.
But one man ever lived who could
fittingly describe this perfect day. !
quote one of Henry Grady's last edi-
torials-on perfect Christmas day
as the only perfect description of this
perfect day.

A NUT BROWN EYE.

You have seen a summer morning
Brimmed and overflowed with light
Yet soft with dewy langours
From the kisses of the night.
Just such light and langours shine
In liquid, nut-brown eye
Within whose radiant depths divine
Lies all the heaven for which | sigh
When she droops the dusly fringe
That like silken floss doth lie
On the roses of her cheek,
And wells the splendor of her eye.
Then l feel as if the sun
Had, at noontide, couched his lance
And | watched through twilight dun
The dawning of a radiant glance.
And when she looks from me across
The purple hills, and shining river,
The while / note her wistful glance
And watch the sweet lips part and
culver.
| wish with sudden sense of pain
That ] was something fair and
bright,
So, that upon me too, might rest
That wondrous look of deep delight
But when, at some low whispered
word
She turns TO meet the eyes above
her,
And Pushes brightly, then I think
I'd rather be a man and love her

day it was expected that some action
would be taken in regard to the Register
ed druggists who are conducting business
in various parts of the state.
For some time recently the three COM
missioners who comprise the board have
bee n receiving anonymous communion
tions protesting against thecarrying on of
business by dealers who have never passed
examinations.
These anonymous letters and the talk
that has been made is all that this
amounts to, said Mr.. D W. Heseltine of
this city yesterday. Mr. Heseltine, is,
as well known. the Portland member of
the board.
"Yet," continued Mr.. Heseltine, 81
think that some steps will be taken before
long to enforce the pharmacy laws. This
should certainly be done.
The examinations for druggists, Mr..
Heseltine states, are becoming more rig
i'd in Maine every year. Such policy of
course, results in more efficient service
for the public.

THE STAGES GLAMOUR
Attracts Two Youthful Asparents of
Nashua.

Boston, December 12.-About 10. so las
night the Chesea police received tele-
pohne message from Nashua, N. H., that
two girls named Hattie Leaget, aged 16
years, and Lizzie Hopkins, II years. left
their homes and had taken the 5 O'Clock
train for Boston and had probably gone
to Chelsea to sajoin the Maud Hillman
troupe which was performing at the
Academy IN that city. The girls had
been associating with two of the female
members OF the company while the troupe
was playing at Nashua. Both had ex-
pressed desires to become actresses, to
which their parents objected.
The police learned that there were some
of the party at the Broadway House and
visit to that hotel revealed the fact that
two Young women had arrived there last
night and engaged rooms.
Their names did not correspond with
those given out, the place of residence
was different and the officer proceeded tc
interview the girls and finally took them
to the police headquarters, where, after 8
short time, they confessed they were the
two gilrs wanted. They admitted theil
right names were Hattie Leagett and
Lizzie Hopkins and that they left home
for the purpoes OF joining the troupe al
they desired to adopt the stage as pro
fession.
Both were neatly dressed, but had very
little money with them. They remain.
ed at the police headquarters over night
and this morning the father of the Lea
gett girl, and brother of the Hopkins girl
arrived from New Hampshire, and tool
the two girls back. The girls broke down
at the sight of their people and were will
ling to return home.
