Wheeling, W. Va, Sept. 6.-While the
striking miners of West Virginia will
have voice in settling the coal strike
according TO the call Of the national
board, there is but little consolation in
1t, as they have no hope that any adj
vance in wages will be secured in this
state or that many Of them now out
Will even get jobs. With the miners in
Pennsylvania and Ohio working, there
are more men now employed in West
Virginia than will be needed to supply
the demand. In spite of this the Fair

Columbus. o.. Sept. 6.-The beginning
of the erd OF the great strike Of the coal

in ten days the 10000 striking miners
will be at work. The thing which has

the largest operators in the Pittsburg
district to the miners executive board
at a Joint conference Friday morning.
The executive board agreed 10 submit

The other proposition is that final
settlement be made now at a rate of 60

districts in proportion. Coupled with
this will be a accommodation of the eX-

An Opening for Q Ginger. Peeler.

A new machine Is wanted in the
West Indies in the ginger industry.
The export of ginger from Jamaica
amounted last year to over $3.50, 900,
and the trade is capable OF considera-
ble expansion. The cleaning and pre-
pairing Of the ginger for the market,
as now performed by hand, is a slow,
primitive. tedious and wasteful pro-
cess. After the roots are dug. they
are washed. and the outer skin is re-
moved by means Of a small, sharp
knife. resembling the blade Of a pen
knife. AS the roots are very irregu-
larly shaped, this process involves the
loss OF large percentage OF the root.
which is broken Off or cut away In re.
moving the skin. The peeling Of the
ginger is an important matter in deter.
mining the market value of the pro,
duct. An expert can peel by hand
about one hundredweight of uncured
ginger in the course Of working day,
for which he is paid go cents.-St

Birds Call The DoctoY.
HOMING PIGEONS WILL BE MADE TO
CARRY MESSAGES TO COUNTRY
DOCTORS.

Thanks. perhaps more than to any
thing else, to the successful use OF
homing pigeons by the French gov
ernment, both in military and naval
maneuvers, there has been a general
revival of interest in the subject OF
the possibilities of the utilization OF
these birds as a means of rapid com
municatlon between points that are
for various reasons unconnected by
the usual means of communication.
ssThe Medieal Record and several
of its contemporaries are urging the
great benefits that medical practition.
ers in sparsely settled districts may
derive from a carrier pigeon service,
The idea seems to have been success
fully inaugurated by several medical
men who have written of their expert,
erces.
The plan is for the doctor who is
expecting a call from a distant farm ol
hamlet beyond telephone or tele
graphic service to carry one or more
homlng birds to the point, with in
structions to release the featheret
messenger when his services may BIZ
required. The possibilities of the
homing pigeon have never been esti
mated fully.

corset was gradually being sent into

Many and various are the differen,
patterns of waists offered to the woman
whose health or whose advanced ideas
urge larger waist, and, as a matter
of course, deeper breathing. But,
although all these compromises be
tween stays and no stays are winning
wide favor, it does not follow by any
means that the day of the corset, pure
and simple, is over.
For the first time in its history the
arguments against it are fortified by
pleas for health rather than beauty,
and it may be that its final doom has
come. But the "ways of mankind
are various, but those of womankind

On all the streets Of Paris one OF the
features most noticeable to foreign.
er, perhaps, is the little omnibus sta.
ton so characteristic of Paris. The
Partisan omnibus system, by the way,
is an excellent one when you under.
stand it. But you usually have to be
put Off bus two or three times be-
fore you appreciate its merits. In time
you discover that the vehicle stops
regularly at little stations, where those
who understand the system obtain bits
of pasteboard bearing numbers in the
precise order of their application for
them, emitting them in the same or
der to the vacant seats in the buses
as they arrive. These little stations
being not far apart, it is matter of
no difficulty to obtain these numbers,
and when that is done the system Sc
cures, as you see, perfect applica
ton of the rule. First come. first
served" For when the bus stops.
just opposite the little station, an Off
cial comes out. and, standing behind
it, calls off the numbers in their or
der, and the would-be passengers. as
their numbers are called, take the va
cant places. When all the vacancies
are filled the bus drives on, and those
whose numbers come next in order
have, of course, the first chance at the
vacancies on the filling bus
And now let me mention another
feature Of this omnibus system which
l think is worthy Of our notice. Each
omnibus and each street car in Paris

the same-s built to seat certain
