LOSl; WOMEN.

Tho CHEEKY single woman has her
work in her home rs long ms that
blessing is spared to her, and when
she is left without near and dear ones
she finds that she can be comfort to
Others and do good service in various
helpful ways, social, personal and
charitable. Mothers soon learn TINT
she is one of their faithful aids, and
proud of the title Parents Assistant.
Little children love her, MS she enters
into their amusements and sympathizes
with their small griefs, frolicking rs
merrily rs tho gayest sprito among
them, and always ready to bind up the
keunded henrt or tho cut finger.
Young men and mnidens confide their
pretty secrets to her discretion, aud
older people enjoy tho delicate ntten-
tiohs which sho delights to bestow.
Should work be stern necessity of
this spinster's life, sho must often find
herself overwoightod with cares and
anxietlos; but, to her credit DO it said,
there is almost never the inclination
to indulge III vain mud useless ropin.
ings. Thus tho real lone woman is
not tho ono who Professionally and
cheerfully conquers the difficulties of
n solitary life, meeting its trials with
n disarming smile, and guarding her
self against falling into TINT inelfably
dreary state which is meant by the
designation; nor is it she who, de-
barred from all activity by i'll health,
possesses in perfection tho rare art of
self-elfacement, and who tranquility
and deftly fits herself to her "per-
petual maidcnhood." -Hnrper's Bazaar.

HON. JOHN w. MASON,
Gives His Views on Silver and Ell<ins-He

Thinks Stephen VIII be Allowed to ke-
main in the Senate.
Special to the Register
Washington, May 5.-Ex-Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue John NJ.
Mason was here to-day on his way TO
New York on business. Between trains
he called at the Internal Revenue Bur
eau and had pleasant visit with his
successor Commissioner Miller.
When asked how he felt on the sill
yer question, Mr. Mason said he was a
bimetallist. He favored the coinage of
silver at 16 to l to the greatest extent
compatible with the maintenance Of
the parity of the two metals in our
currency.
Mr.. Mason admitted that no man
could say to what extent it would be
safe to coin silver at ratio OF 10 to /,
without endangering the stability OF
our currency system. He acknowledged
that he would have to experiment but
he evidently thought it would be all
right to fool with the financial buzz
saw in this way.
When asked if Senator Elkins was
going to be nominated for President or
Vice President on the Republican
ticket next year, Mr.. Mason said he
thought not. The West Virginia Re
publicans had elected Mr.. Elkins to
the Senate, and they wanted him to
stay there. They thought he could be
of more use to the State there than
anywhere else.

A BRAVE MAN
Was Commander KrOhn, an Ameri
can, of the Chinese Navy, But He
Was Handicapped by COwardly
Men-LOSt His Life.

Phoenixville, Pa, May 5.-Chauncey
Krohn, of the Phoenix iron works, of
this place, has received intelligence
from Hong Kong that his brother, Com
mander Gerhard Krohn, of the Chinese
navy, was mortally wounded on board
his vessel, the Kuen Yuen, nj thenaval
engagement with the Japanese fleet in
the Gulf of Pechili, near Port Arthur,
in February.
Commander Krohn was an officer in
Admiral Ling's North China squadron,
and commanded the Kuen Yuen Be-
fore he was wounded he gave orders to
one of his lieutenants to man a gun.
The lieutenant refused to obey, when
Commander Krohn manned the gun
himself but he was soon mortally
wounded by an exploding shell. He
stationed himself on the trunnion, and
although he was blinded, held his eye
lids open with his fingers so he could
see, and still endeavored to rally his
men. But still they refused to obey
orders, and many of them jumped over
board The Kuen Yuen had every gun
dismantled and was struck four hun
dred times during the battle.
Krohn was taken on board a junk,
and was removed to the British hospi-
tai at Hong Kong. where he died two
days after the fight.

A DEsPoNDENT VIEW.

Cincinnati, May 5.-With a general
strike of all the Ohio coal miners as
sured tomorrow, for an indefinite pc
riod, and indications for a similar con-
ditiOn in West Virginia soon, the man
ufacturers, railroads and others here
are greatly concerned over the pros
poets for the summer. The river is
getting so low that no relief can be ex-
pected from Western Pennsylvania,
and the situation in the Pittsburg dis
trict is not considered much better
than in Ohio. There are some who re-
gard the situation less encouraging
than last year when the general strike
prevailed. If the miners and operators
had been able to get together at the
Columbus conference last week, the
prospects would have been good for
this season.

cree. Not for years has there been
such unanimity of opinion among
Central American republics, and the
situation may best be summed up by
comparing iJ TO the furry among a
group of chickens when a hawk daShes
down among them and despoils the
flock Great Britain has successfully
played the role of the hawk, and the
furry caused by her action shows no
sign of subsistence. The governments
OF all the Central American States and
those Of several OF the South American
countries have telegraphed to President
Leiaya suggesting the formation Of
A COMMERCIAL UNION
against the productions of Great Brit
am and also against the transpOrta-
ton OF Central and South American
products TO British bottoms.
III sucn union could be definitely ar
ranged and the terms be put into force,
quite severe blow would be dealt TO
British trade. and eventually the Brit
ish government would find that its
treatment of Nicaragua had cost it a
sum of money far in excess Of the smart
money that she demanded from Nicara-
qua.

THE INCOME TAX CASE.

Reargument Upon the Issue VIII Com
mence This Morning in the supreme
Court
Washington, d. c., May st is not

reargument of the income tax cases.
which is TO begin I'm the United States
supreme Court on Monday. The
Chief Justices order in the present in
stance providing for the hearings Of
only two cOunsels on each side. it is
therefore probable that the argument
viii be extended over at least two
DAYS. and it is possible that counsel
viii seek TO have it cover even more
time. AS the entire question now is
TO Justice Jackson, in the sense that
he has heard none Of the oral argu-
ment, il is considered not improbable
that more or less argument on all the
points involved will be permitted.
Whatever may be the conclusion Of
Justice Jackson, after hearing the ar
gumeuts. no reversal of the opinion Of
the Court in regard to incomes from
rents and public bonds is possible, un-
less at least two Of the members Of
Court who participated in the former
decision change their votes The
Court stood six to two in prOnOuncing
that part of the law unconstitutional
On the remaining features of the law,

bers of the Court votes this time as

THE MINERS UNITED.

The Meetings About Pocahontas Has Re
suited in a Consolidation of Interests
Pocahontas, Va, May 5.-This has
been a field day for the miners union.
The West Virginia miners have been
pouring into Virginia all Sabbath from
the West Virginia mines. At Poca, a
mile east of this place, they held a
meeting upon hill. District Chair
man Lawless and all the prominent
local leaders of West Virginia were in
attendance. The speeches coUnselled
order to the three thousand men pres
ent, and the meeting was free from
any incidents of disturbances. 1t was
very evident from the tone of the as
semblage that the PocahOntas miners
had decided to
JOIN THE STRIKE.
The Hungarians, it is said. will hold
subsequent meetings at their homes to
organize There are only about one
hundred and fifty of them here, and
they will not work unless the native
whites and negroes are employed. Out
of the five hundred miners here, fully
three hundred joined the miners union,
to-day. 1t is believed that there will
be no mining done here tomorrow,
and this will make the field a unit for
the strike. Another meeting will be
held tomorrow at 10 a. m.
The union men have brought to bear
EVERY POSSIBLE MEANS
to induce the. miners here to join them.
Lawless has complete confidence is
the ultimate success of the men. He
says that the idea of sending soldiers
here is ridiculous. He appealed to the
men to preserve good behavior. The
other speakers. both black and white,
gave versions of their grievances, and
cOunselled the preservation of peace,
but to unite and fight out for the law
and for their rights. All seemed to
think that the strike would win wheth-
er the Pocahontas men came out or not,
but that with theiruniOn the field could
be won much sooner. They claim that
the present charges for provisions and
house rent are so high that they
COULD NOT LIVE
at three cents less per ton for labor.
The meeting to-day, which lasted until
midnight. has put a different phase on
the situation. so far as the Pocahontas
men are involved and developments
plainly indicate that few men will
work tomorrow, if any. The union
men are working hard tonight, so thai
the few remaining men who have not
foined will be brought in tomorrow.
The NEGROES and native whites have the
KEY TO the position here, and it is be-
lieved that all of these are in the
union. The proportion of the miners
is fully sixty per cent. colored, with
twenty native miners and twenty Hun
garians. The strike has effectually
Daralvzed business and travel is sus-
nended. except for miners going home.
The day has been very quiet, not a
single arrest having been made in the
citv for a week. The miners say they
viii hold out for six months. The ac-
tion tomorrow will, it is believed, cul-
inmate in practically an adjustment of
the matter. or Will at least give some
intimation of when the end will come,
and its results.
