Our Neighbors,

Our neighbors generally are the peo-
pie who have houses near to our own,
that nearness varying according to the
size Of the district and the number of
householders Of the same social rank as
ourselves. In town they live in the
same street; in apartments they are on
the same corridor; in the country they
are separated by field only or garden
wall; in sparsely tenanted places they
are at distance Of mile or two miles,
or it may be six. And the neighbor par
excellence is the one who lives close
alongside of neutrality-suspicious. in the
other half Of the semidetached house
where we have our home or just across
the road and opposite, not to the side.
This is the general idea of neighbor,
and when we use the term we rarely
mean aught else.
But in point Of fact we have neigh
bors wherever we tnrn-men and wom-
en- to whom we are bound to render
such service Of kindness as comes into
the possibilities Of the time and place.
It is not only domicile and the rates
and taxes which make us neighbors. It
is not only when we live divided by a
party wall one from the other at the
foot Of the hill, or standing face to face
across the road, when we can signal our
goings out and our comings in and be
helpful and neighborly in the matter Of
the garden roller and the preserving
pan. It is not only when we know all
the family history, and how our friends
and neighbors are impeccable as to their
grandfather and without the crooked
lines Of scandal across their family
escutcheon. It is not necessary to be
intimate, nor even to have been intro
duced, for the obligations Of neighbor.
Illness to be strict and strong. Fol-
wherever we can render a service, show
. courtesy or do q kindness we have ou1
work cut out for as in the way Of duty
to our neighbor, and he is orr neighbo1
who stands in need, great or small, Of
such help as we can offer. Philadel-

Modern Football Mere Play to Yale's Old

The organization and development of
intercollegiate athletics now absorb

their formal challenge on the bulletin

scores of strikers Bite the Dust-A scene
of Wild Terror and GOnfusIOn-The
Deputies, HOrror-Stricken a.e the
Result, Aid the EalIea.

HAZELroN. Pa, Sept. 10.-The strike
situation reached terrible crisis on
the outskirts of Latimer this afternoon
when a band IF deputy sheriffs fired
into an infuriated mob of miners. The
men fell like so many ten-pins. and the
excitement since has been SO intense
that no accurate figures of the dead
and wounded can be obtained.
Report runs from Is to 30 odd killed.
and 90 or more wounded. One man
who reached the scene tonight counted
12 corpses. Four other bodies lie in
the mountains between Latimer and
Harleigh. Those who were not injured
carried their dead and wounded friends
into the woods, and estimate is baf-
fed.
The strikers left Hazleton at $3.50
o'clock this afternoon, announcing
their intention to go to Latimer. AS
soon as this became known band of
and went whirling across the noun
tain to the scene, where the bloody
assault followed.
After reaching Latimer they left the
car and formed into three companies
under Thomas Hall, E. A. Hess and
Samuel B. Price. They drew up in
line at the edge of the village, with a
fence and line of houses in the rear.
Sheriff Martin was in entire COM
mand and stood in front of the line un-
ho R~Sly cd
were seen coming across the ridge, and
Martin went out to meet them.
The men drew up sullenly and lis
tened in silence until he had once
more read the riot act. This finished,
low muttering arose among the for
eigners, and there was slight move
ment forward. Perceiving this, the
sheriff stepped toward them and in a
determined tone forbade them to ad-
vance. Some one struck the sheriff,
and the next moment there was a com.
mand to the deputies to fire.
The guns of the deputies instantly
belched forth a terrible volley. The
report seemed to shake the very noun.
tains, and d cry of dismay went up
from the people. The strikers were
taken entirely by surprise, and as
the men toppled and fell over each
other those who remained unhuri
stampeded. The men went down be.
fore the storm of bullets like ten pins
and the groans of the dying and
wounded filed the air.
The excitement that followed was
simply indescribable. Deputies seemed
to be terror-stricken at the deadly exc
cution of their guns, and seeing the
living strikers fleeing like wild men
and others dropping to the earth, they
went to the aid of the unfortunate
whom they had brought down.

NEW YORK AND HARDWARE.
A Branch of Manufacturing i'm which

A Branch of Misunderstanding i'm which
the Empire City Is still Behind.
The Merchants association has pub
lished a pamphlet showing the extent
to which New York is at the head of
other cities in various lines of manu-
facture. In it the figures are given with
show. for instance, that in the making
of mems clothing the enlarged New
York imports and manufactures in
year more than twice as much clothing
as any other city, the figures being for
New York SIS, 600, 900, and for the next
city in rank, Philadelphia, $4,000, 900.
In women's garments the figures for
the enlarged New York are $45,00o, 900.
and for Philadelphia, the next highest
city, $6,000,O00. And so it is practical
" throughout the whole list, with very
few exceptions, Chicago leading in
meat products, lumber, woolen goods
and locomotives, and so on. But in the
matter of hardware, for this reason
which does not appear to be altogether
clear when New York's proximity to
iron and coal mines, to the railroads
and foreign commerce is considered,
New York lags somewhat behind. In
the statement made for distribution
by the Merchants association, the fig
ures for hardware and cutlery are.
given as follows: For New York (en-
larged city,, $4,sOO,000; for the city
next in rank. $6,630,000. The city next
in rank to New York in respect to the
manufacture of hardware is the city
of Chicago, which, by the census OF
1890, had this business much more
generally developed than new York,
and since then Chicago's lead has
rather increased than diminished.
Nor does New York come second even
in hardware products of mechanical
manufacture, for the city of Philadel-
phia is ahead of it. Not very far behind
New York comes New Haven, and very
little behind New Haven is the city of
Reading, Pa. On the basis of popula-
ton, the hardware interests of Brook
lyn are very much better developed
than are those of the present city of
New York. Buffalo, Bridgeport, Wa
terbury, Conn.,, and Cleveland, O., are
four other American cities the hard.
ware business of which is very exten.
sive. In the whole country, the eight
cities named have the bulk of this
branch of manufacturing business,
which is exclusive of the item of cut
lery and edge tools. In the manufac-
ture of edge tools Newark comes first,
New York is second on the list, Phila-
delphia third, and Louisville occupies
the fourth place. In plumbers sup
plies New York represents $3,oo0,00o
to 1000, 900 of the next highest city.
In wire work the manufacture here Ia
double what it is in any other city in
the country, and the manufacture of
firearms in New York is four times
greater than in any other city.-N. Y.

METHODIST REvoLT.

The Question of Representation I'm the
Ouadrennfal Conference.-The Lay Mem
bers Pay the Freight, aud They VIII De-
mand Equal Representation with the
Ministerial Brethern-A National Com
ventIOn OF the LAity Likely to be Called.
CHICAGO, Sept 1O.-The TImes-Herald
says:
Rebellion has broken out in the
Methodist Episcopal church. The lay
men demand equal representation with
the ministers In the great quadrennial
legislature of the church. Three times
have the ministers voted on the gues-
tion and defeated 1t, and the laymen
have lost patience.
The church will be brought face to
face next week with a revolt that will
probably overshadow the question of
women delegates in the general con-
ference. Representatives of the Penn
sylvania and New Jersey conferences
have issued an address for the change.
Leading laymen of Indiana have called
a state convention to meet at Indianap-
oils next Wednesday to consider the
question. A lay convention. represent
ing the Cincinnati conference, sent
greetings last week to the Indiana con-
vention, and urged the calling of
national convention.
The laymen of the Central Illinois
conference have called convention to
meet at Canton September IL, and that
meeting will probably take action on
this question. Another big convention
will be held in Baltimore next month,
and if not forestalled by the Indian
apOlis convention it is expected to is
sue call for a national convention of
Methodist laymen to make plans to
bring the ministers into line.
Under the rules of the church each
conference is entitled to one ministeri-
al delegate to the general conference
for every 45 clergymen. Each confer
ence is entitled to at least one lay del
egate, but in no case can it have more
than two.
In the general conference at Cleve-
land, last year. $4,000 ministers had
3S7 representatives, while the ZOO, 900
lay members of the church had but
100. In Indiana 334 preachers had
seven representatives, while 90, 900 lay
men had but two.
Under this system many small con-
| ferences have a dispropOrtionately
large representation, while the large
conference that contributes heavily to
the support of the church can have
only one delegate more than the small
conference over in China or India, that
has to be supported by money sent
from America.
There is little doubt that national
convention of laymen will be held,
and it promises to bring out many of
the most prominent members of the
! church.

INGENIOUS sAvA0Es.
American Indians Make Dainty StI
yer TrinEets OF Mexican Dollars.

American Indians Make Dainty Sill
yer TrinI<ets OF Mexican Dollars.
An exhibit which usually surprises
the visitor at the National museum in
Washington is the group showing the
American Indian working in silver at
q forge of his own contriving.
Contrary to popular supposition, the
Indian is a very clever workman in
metals. Some of the amulets, armlets
aud buttons found in the possession of
the far western Indians are of excellent
finish and workmanship. The Indian
loves ornaments and delights to deck
the blanket and buckslin robe of his
young son with silver trinkets.
His bullion is the Mexican dollar, and
he uses rude forge fitted with bellows
made of buffalo skin. They generally
have two pairs of bellows, which, being
worked alternately, furnish steady
drs ught.
Some of the designs wrought upon
these rude silver buttons prove that the
Indian is far from an unimaginative be-
ing. It is clear that he has more con-
ception of the beauties of nature than
most of his critics would admit.
The use of the blow-pipe is not unfa-
miliar to the Indians. They make use
of it to braize the eyelets of buttons.
The lamp used for this purpose is very
crude, consisting merely of a rag
daubed with tallow placed in an open
dish of metal or stone.
AS the Indians have been gathered
into reservations they have lost the use
of even these rude mechanical arts, and
the practice is now confined to few in
the mountains of northwestern Mexico.
Here an occasional rude forge may still
be found and its output of forged sill
yer trinkets still passes from hand to
hand. Dishes are sometimes made OF
silver by hammering out dollar very
thin and then pressing it against de-
sign already cut in stone.-N. Y. jour.

THE SANTA FE WRECK.
Latest Known Concerning the Dead and
Injured.

Latest Known Concerning the Dead ana
Injured.
EMPoRIA, Kas., Sept. 0.-Twelve
known dead, one missing (probably
incinerated) and il injured, two of
whom will likely die, is the record of
the terrible head-on collision on the
Santa Fe, as known tonight.
Even now it is not positively
known that the list given is complete,
as it is believed that several were
burned to death and pothing left by
which they could be recognized. The
bodies of II persons have been found
in the debris, three burned beyond rec
ognition.
VIM. Frisbee, of Topeka, engineer of
the east-bound fast mail, who was last
night reported among the injured, ex-
pired during the day, and Michael Nc
Glade and r. A. Doran, postal clerks,
were found to have been wrongly
placed in the list of injured.
Nothing could be found of the re-
mains of Wells Fargo Express Messen-
ger ]. T. c. Sauer. A handful of
charred bones taken from the wreck,
however, are supposed to be his. Near
them was found his watch.
Human ghouls delved in the burn
ing wreckage and plundered the bag.
gage and mail sacks which strewed
the ground. One tried to snatch a
watch from the breast of an Emporia
doctor who, weak and nervous, was
creeping slowly out of the debris. He
had strength enough left to hit the
brute blow in the face which made
MIN turn with a curse and sneak away.
Mail sacks were dragged into the corn
fields and rified.
The report at the Kansas City post
office is that practically all of the mail
on both of the wrecked Santa Fe trains
was destroyed. One pouch, however,
for southern California on the west
bound train No. is said to have been
saved.
This train carried large mail from
New York city to California, Colorado,
New Mexico and Arizona.
No official report mas been received
here.
Behind the st-bound train that
was wrecked was a freight train. Its
engineer stopped at Laing for orders.
He said yesterday that the red light,
the danger signal, hung out by the
operator there to warn the west-bound
passenger to stop, was burning SO
dimly and the glass was smoked SO
badly that he could not see it till he
had left his cab and gone close up to it.
The dimness of this light was prob
ably the cause of the accident. The
engineer of the east-bound train could
not see the warning signal as he
rushed past, and pulled the throttle
wide open and sped on for Emporia,
seven miles away.
The night operator at Laing, whose
duty it was to see to the signal lights,
was a new man at the place. He
had only been on duty there ten days

IN A BAD WAY.

Guatemala I'm Danger of General Bank

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1O.-News just
received from Guatemala is to the
effect that the country is IN bad way
financially and politically. During

of these houses have been extern
sively engaged in the expectation of
coffee and other Central American
products and the Importation of mer-
chandiSe.
Besides a great number of firms have
gone under for less amounts. The
total is nearly 81, 600, 900, but is a trifle
misleading. however, because it repre-
sents Central American money, which
is very much deprecated in value.
ReinA Barrios, the man who was
president, and who declared himself
dictator of the republic a couple of
months ago, is excessively unpopular,
because of his recent high-handed &C
ton and his cruelties. There is a de-
mand that Prosper Morales, a lawyer
and former minister of war, be chosen
to succeed BarrioS-
To prevent this BarrIos intends call
ing a session of the assembly very soon
in order to have himself confirmed as
dictator. If he is successful, war is al
most certain, because the country will
not longer submit to his oppression.
If he is defeated, war is just as sure,
because he can not afford to be driver
