Not Inclined TO Join in the Coming

PhiUipsburg. Centre county, Pa, Oc-
tOber 20.-The indications to-day are
that the miners strike viii not amount
to much in the Clearfield and Beech
Greek coal regions, whatever it amounts
10 in adjoining counties. At Osceola,
last night. a mass meeting was held
and was attended by miners from all
the mines in that district, some eight or
ten On the question of joining on
strike tomorrow morning, the vote was
almost solid against, and a resolution
was adopted not 10 attend any mass
meetings i'm neighbOring towns. Along
the Beech Cretl railroad the following
mines voted against going on strike:
Pardee. Lancashire No. >, GlenwOOd,
Gearhart Decatur. Bayol, Acme and
Forest. The M0rrisdale mines voted
to suspend work until Thursday, and
if the balance of the region was not out
by that time to return TO work. 1t is
believed the Houtzdale miners will take
the same action as the OsceOla miners.

that were presented for enactment.
IL will be impossible to give a re-
sumo OF the work of the entire ses-
sion. The magnitude of the task
can be, in a measure at least, ap.
proximated when it is known that
more than twelve hundred bills were
introduced in both branches of the
Legislature and perhaps half that
number passed. Aside from the
large number Of bills presented there
were many accidental statesman
who were anxious to figure as great
men and the result was inevitably n
great deal OF useless talk and long
session.
The principal bills passed finally
and which were the subjects of the
warmest debates, were the Marshall
bill repeating the pipe line law of
1885, the compulsory education bill.
the religious garb bill, the Woods
! water works bill, the bill creating on
, appellate court, the judicial appor-
,, tionment bill and those for the maxi
; ing of Greater Pittsburg, the
Quay county bill, and the anti-pool
bill. Among the important bills
defeated may be named, the con-
gressional, senatorial and legislative
apportionment bills. The Smith
bill which provided for the distribu-
tion Of the State school funds upon
new basis. The bill providing for
the establishment of department
of charities, the Seanor meat bill,
which proposed to compel the char
liable institutions of the state to
purchase meat that had been slaught-
cred in the commonwealth and none
other, the school book bill, for the
purchase of school books at publish
ers' prices. the Brown road bill, the
forestry bill which was discussed in
these columns at the time it was
pending, the bills prohibiting the
killing of deer for five years, an act
making the uniform railroad fare 2
cents per mile, the eel basket bill,
the Judges pension bill, etc.
4 vast amount of other legislation
comprising hundreds of bills fell by
the wayside but in the main they
were only of minor Importance.
In another article / may give the
most important measures that are
before the Governor but have not
yet been signed. G. w. II.

Letter from Harrisburg.
HARRIsBURG, Pa, June 3. lS9

HARRIsBURG, Pa, June 3, 1895
Editor PosT:
The end came Mt high noon on
Saturday last and the session of the
Legislature of 1895 lives only in the
past. l haveno criticisms to make,
that belongs to those who can view
the results from standpoint diff
ferent from that which is taken by
those who have been the immediate
factors in determining its actions.
Legislation is never better than
the people demand. II this is q gov
ernment OF the people by the people
aud for the people then the prin-
cIples and policies formulated and
determined by those TO whom the
people have delegated authority to
act should be in every instance the
embodiment of the wishes of those
who entrust their rights and inter
ests to their representatives.
The people of Snyder county have
honored me perhaps more than de-
serve and l would be most migrate
ful if should by word or action
manifest that l did not most pro-
foundly appreciate the confidence
they have reposed in me.
In the councils of the State it was
my highest ambition to do the bid
ding of those who sent me. | have
neverllost faith in the people, my
course is on record, of which l invite
the most careful scrutiny and the
unbiased judgment of the people
of the county. If failed in the dis
charge of any duty it was not be-
cause Of a dishonest motive or the
lack of an honest effort. Thecounty
will not suffer from hardships i'm
posed upon it by my vote.
The school system remains as it is.
The burdens which were to be en-.
tailed by an imaginary ten months
school term did not come as was so
kindly prophesied. l boast of no
superior virtues when / say that my
record is the best proof of my faith
fulness to the people. l have never
known any other master than the
will of the majority fairly and
honestly expressed and / shall be
satisfied to submit to the judgment
of an intelligent and patriotic con-
stituency.
am prepared to give my reasons
for supporting or opposing measures

One day last week Oliver Rice shot
a very strange animal. Even the
Oldest citizens are without n know
ledge of its kind. , 1t has in time
been named, beaver, lynx, marmot
and wolverine; but their coDjectur, ;
seem to be alike erroneous. However
it is of the marsupial family. 1t is
about fifteen inches in length, six
inches high, has short ears, bushy
tail. teeth like a squirrel, but pro-
portionately larger, paws well pad
ded and armed with sharp claws
Its chief popularity, however, lies in
its fur. The hairs of which are n
coarse gray, arranged in tufts, re.
sembling the bristles of u brush.
When first seen it was bathing in Il
spring. Upon being approached, it
merely climbed out ofthe water AMI
snarled making no particular effort
to escape. Rice could have captur-
ed it alive but the sight of it's teeth
and claws did not encourage the NJ
tempt, so he killed it. Jerry Suyder,
a local taXidermist, now has it in
possession.

To Correspondents.

On Monday morning we received
letter unsigned and undated.
The letter purports to come from an
old soldier and criticizes the Salem
Sunday School and Congregation
for not turning out on Memorial
+. Never ask an rdtyor to father
any article to which you are afraid
or at least unwilling to sligo your
name. A letter reached us last
week from Doodletown. The writer
failed to sign his name and OF
course it is contrary to our rule to
print articles unless accompanied
by the real name and address of the
writer.
A letter reached us week before
last from Cammal, Pa, to which the
writer signed his name, but the
matter was unfit for first class fam
lily newspaper and il published
would have made both the writer
and the publisher liable to arrest
for libel.
1t seems Affections never come
singly. Our ink is scarcely dry
when letter comes from an timer
ant preacher who, in a dictorial way,
tells us how to run the Middleburgh
PosT. We think he is entirely too
fresh to continue very much longer
in Snyder County pulpit.

The large price that the owner Of
the farm on which the famous BLOODY
angle" in Spottsylvania is situated
has obtained for his property, having
made a sale to Northern parties, re-
calls how important a proportion Of
Virginia soil has an extensive value
on account Of its association with his
toric events. With the possible ex-
ception Of Greece and England-we
doubt whether an exception ought to
be made in the instance of these
countries-there is no land in the
world which contains more localities
which derive their interest from the
records of history, and which, if put
up for sale would bring a larger sum

Chili's most powerful war vessel
has a name not at all suggestive of
its formidable size and capabilities.
1t might not unfltly have been called
the Terror or the Thunderer, and it
is not a little remarkable that so ar
dent, not to say flamboyant, a people
as the Chilians were content with 90
prosaic a title as plain Captain Pratt.
For actual business the Pratt has the
following qualifications: 1t is 1923 feet
long; beam over all, so feet I inches;
depth, "a feet 8 inches. 1t will mount
in its main battery four guns Of Gas

fire guns 1.-TWO Nordenfelt and two

has six torpedo tubes of the Canet

short, a fast and formidable armor-
clad vessel, with powerful engines OF
the latest and most improved descrip-
ton, and a guaranteed speed of eight
cen knots an hour.

Only Woman Horse Clipper.

O"Ay SOa4ou AAOEO0 NAbppCEs
Worcester, Mass. has n claim Of dis.
tinction which no other city can boast.
1.-THE only woman horse clipper In
these United States lives and moves
and has her being and her profession
In that little city. For twenty-five
years the woman who follows this
unique business has been clipping
horses, and she has made such a sue
cess Of hcr work that there is q neat
balance to her credit In one Of the Wor-
cester banks.
Mrs. Curtis was Mrs. William Drawer
when she began to clip horses. She did
1t at first to assist her husband, who
had work than he could conve-
nient]y do. Her husband had doubts
as to her ability, but she had not been
long at work before he admitted her
skill. Three years ago he died, and last
year his widow married Louis H. Cur
tie, who had been associated in the
horse clipping business with the Draw
era. The establishment is run by Mrs.
Curtis, however, and she does q great
deal Of the work with her own hands.
During the busy season, from October
to December and from March to May,
she makes from $40 to $50 Q day.
