The disappearance Of Gwynne R. Tomp-
kins, the alleged .wife-sedueer. who was

Under some circumstances IL would be well

The attitude OF this country .towarl the
insurgents.
Important changes have occurred in the
condition of the latter since the adjourn
nent OF Congress. Although even last
spring the Cuban patriots were making a
good fight, they were handicapped by the
lack of such equipment as would make ef-
fcctivc operations more easy of accomplish
ment. Since then they have obtained a lib
eril supply not only of modern small arms
and ammunition, but OF rapid-fire guns and
larger ordnance also. that can be employed
with good effect in the reduction of fortified
points. They are also in possession Of one,
if not more, pneumatic guns, with which
they can throw dynamite shells. as they
did with terrible execution only few days
ago at Artemisa, the central point of Wey-
ler's trocha.
In spite of all the vigilance Of Spanish
war vessels, forming Gordon about Cuba,
and aided in every way by United States
revenue cutters and cruisers, the insurgents
have landed expeditions bringing them war
supplies of every description. Iti on the
cards that before long they VIII also COIN

sort, perhaps even more than one and then
they will be able to give an even better

P,tronize Those who Are Honest.

There is considerable complaint that cer-
tain dealers are delivering Short-weight
coal. .s.s-
The man who cheats customers III this
way is mean enough to steal baTnacles.
But there is no necessity for submitting to
this kind of robbery.
Public act No. provides that NJ person
shall offer coal fuf sale without showing Il
certificate giving its exact weight and
when the intended purchaser demands that
the weight be verified II Is tile duty ofthe
person in charge of the wagon delivering
the coal to take il to some public scale and
haveit weighed again.
The act also provides that any person re-
fusiBg to comply with the provisions OF this
law. or any person who shall deliver or at
tempt to deliver coal Of less weight than is
purported to be sold shall be punished with
4 fine not to exceed 500 and the costs OF
the prosecution, and the court ma make
further punishment by sentencing the Of
fender to iInprSonme ent in the District Jail.
1t is the duty of every purchaser to pro
tect himself against imposition. If he sus-

he should order the weight verified and if
found less than the amount described in the
certificate the dealer should bc prosecuted.
Perhaps the best safeguard is to consult
the reputation OF dealers. While CON
siderable is said against local dealers, most
of them are honest and can be- trusted Be
cause there are a few rascsals In the coal
trade, all dealers should not be de-
nounced-
Prosecute and punish those who cheat
ana patronize only those who deal fairly
Let that be the policy of those who buy
coal and there will be no more complaint Of

n MONG the visitors at the Metropolitan
Is DR. C $. Ford, of Wheeling. W.

One Of the principal characteristics Of
Wheeling, he said, s the large proportion
OF small. plGin-lCOking residences in it,
The stranger hardly finds one what would
be considered a nice house in Washington in
the course OF half-hour'S walk.
The explanation of this fJctiS that Wheel
ing is essentially a workineman's town.
The Taborers form 90 per cent of its popu.
lation, and almost every family Occu-
pies a house. Flat life, as seen in New
York and other large cities, is practically
unknown.
Another feature of the houses is that
they are for the most part owned hy
the occupants. In the last asSeSSIn ent for
cakes it was developed that over 90 per
cent of the houses are thus owned.
This fact beSpeaks Il frugality,r said
the doctor, which, SO far as I know, and
1 have been in almost all the cities OF this
country, is uncxampled among American
| laborers. And the fact that they own their
own residences has reacted to make the
Wheeling 1abOrer even steadier. The pos
session of the house places Il responsibility
upon his shoulders, which prevents him
from flying off on a strike whenever BE-
thinks he is being in the slightest degree
imposed upon. rs we see others do every
once in n While.
''ir he believes that his emplove honestly
cannot afford tu pay him a much as he has
been getting he is willing to work for u
little less OF submit tn a decrease of hours,
for he know that his taxes have To be paid
and half a loaf TO him is better than no
bread any day.
The result is that today while the cry Of
had business is going up from every Sec
ton of the country in Wheeling the per-
centage Of unemployed is extremely small
Many of the factories are working half
i time and some have been forced to reduce
salaries. hut the fun force OF men has been
invariably retained The best Of good feel
ing rule exists between employers and
men. each side Considering that its best in
terests are inseparably bound up in the wei
fare OF the other
SO that far any differences which
have arisen between employers and EN-
?loyesl have always had speedy adjust
l ment
