Governor Mckinley Confronted by re
titiOn Asking Aid for 10000 Miners-A
Call for Contributions to Be Iss ued.
BY the United Press.
Columbus, O., JAM. N. Coleman
and ]. G. Riley, having proper creden-
tials and representing the miners of
sub-district No. /, composed of the
counties Of Perry, Athens, Hooking and
Muskingum, called upon Governor Nc
Kinley at 10 o'clock this morning and
presented petition picturing the des-
titution among the 10000 miners there,
5000 of them have not had any work
for months, and asking the governor to
appeal to the people of the state for
aid.
The committee was given a respectful
hearing by the governor, who exhibited
considerable emotion over the suffer-
ings portrayed. The governor asked
them how much they thought they
would need, but the committee, of
course, could make no estimate. The
result of the conference was that a call
Will be issued to the people asking for
contributions and a committee of re-
spectacle citizens in different parts of
the state will be designated to receive
and disburse the moneys, clothing, etc,
received. There are $4,000 destitute
people in the district who are without
food or fuel.
The wages paid at the best mines do
not average 81 day. and the work is
SO divided that no man makes more
than SO a week. This is done so that
all can earn a little each week to keep
the wolf from the door. The papers
wall also appeal to the people.

that each of the four congressmen-Ma-

son-who tried to mix In" the fight at the
recent organization of the house at Har-
risburg was roughly thrown down.
The cruel news comes from Harrisburg
that this years crop of statesmen have
been greatly curtailed in the highly priced
perquisite of railway passes. They have
been restricted to favors only for them
selves and their immediate family. The
Reading, whose ANNALS were formerly
good until the end of the year. have

Furthermore, the abuse of these priv

ANTI.TOXINE DISCUSSED.
Local Medical Society Believe That 1t Is
Good Thing.

Last evenings meeting of the Lacka-
wanna County Medical society wit
messed the largest attendance on rec
ord. The subject assigned for the even
ing was paper on "Anti-toXine," BY
DR.. j. w. Williams, of Scranton. The
following resolution proposed by DR..
Fulton was carried:
That it is the sense of this society
that it would be a valuable step in
preserving the health of the city in
stamping out diphtheria If provision
were made by the board Of health to
have meteorological examinations
made of suspected cases of diphtheria,
following the method established by
the board of health of New York, and
also aid in the procuring of reliable
serum for experimenting. Further, that
Il committee of three members be ap-
pointed to meet the members of the
board of health at their next regular
meeting to present the views of this
society"
DIR. Fulton, DR.. Roos and DR.. Gunster
were appointed the committee to carry
out the terms of the resolution. DR..
Roos reported two cases of diphtheria
which had been treated by anti-toxine.

private life. This means that an active
career in the cause of humanity, eX-
tending over period of more than
thirty years, Is to end. Mrs. Livermore
is 70 years old, and it is largely on ac-
count of failing health that she retires.
Another reason for her retirement is
that She is at work on a book that must
be completed before the spring.
Mrs. Livermore will retain the presi-
dency of the Massachusetts Women
Suffrage association, and epects to pre-
side ait the twenty-sith annual meeting
tomorrow. Late in the spring, when
her literary work Is finished, she will
probably speak occasionally in Massa-
chusetts and other portions of New
England, but her tremendously active
work for temperance, equal suffrage
and social purity that has made her
name familiar to all pants of the United
States for so many years, will now SUBJ
side into quiet home life.

they will be in a few days and the
