MILLER
Was Anxious for u Pardon, but the Gov

Governor Richards informed n Tri,
Dune reporter yesterday that he had had
an application in his Office for over a
year for the pardon to restore citizen,
ship of Fred Miller, the ex-convict, who
shot and killed John Coffee at the Some
ranch near Buffalo last week. The gov
ernor was satisfied that Miller was a
bad man and repeatedly refused to is.
u a pardon. The ex-convict's actions
have certainly strengthened the COVER
nor's opinion Of him.
At last accounts Miller had not been
captured, but If he is he will surely
stretch hemp, as the murder was OF A
cold blooded nature and the indignation
OF the people near Buffalo is so strong
that they will probably not wait for the
law to take ills course.-Cheyenne Tri-

NEWS OF NEW CASTLE
SHIRT MAKERS STRIKE
Say the Wages Paid Are Too
Low to Live On.
REFUSED TO GO BACK AGAIN

THEY DECLARE THAT THEY WILL
NOT WORK UNLESS WAGES ARE
S. Poole and daughter Of Dr. Rolph
INCREASED AND THE REST
WILL FOLLOW.
Troubles in the shirt factory have
appeared already Nearly the entire
force of girls left when they were paid
off on account Of the extremely low
wages paid. Several times they had
asked superintendent Davis what he
would pay them, but he evaded the
question. The first weeks work was
given gratuitously, and when it came
time for payments on the second week
the scale of wages was found to be 5
cents per dozen for shirt fronts, and 3
cents per dozen for collars. A eOrre-
spending low rate exists on other por-
tions.
The highest payment drawn yester-
day was 25 cents for a hard days work.
Miss Maud King. who had made fifty
nine collars, received the princely sum
of 19 cents. When one of the en-
ployes approached the superintendent
and told him she could do better by
taking in washing, he replied Eyes,
and look at the fun you would be hav-
ing"
The operatives claim that it is a
matter Of utter impOssibility to make
more than four dozen fronts in a day
no matter how closely one may attend
to business. Some of them who have
made inquiries say that 7ia cents is the
rate paid in other places Of like ma
ture. but that even this is not living
wages. The management claims thai
girls can be had at the low rate IN
Philadelphia, and Mr. Davis is report
ed by some of the girls to have said
that he would bring help from thai
city.
When the ones who struck went tC
the factory this morning to work they
went with a fixed determination to ge
more money or quit altogether. Thi'
being an unsuccessful venture, the en-
tire force quit out of sympathy, anl
the place is idle. 1t is said that th'
forewoman is paid $3.50 per week.
that is all one of the 'tbosses" gels

IA FIGHr FOR EMpTRE.


If the report OF a battle between
French and British forces in the Lagos
Hinterland. in Western Africa, proves
TO have been well founded European
diplomacy will have it's hands full for
some time preventing the outbreak Of
war that would threaten 10 inOvlve
all the powers almost from the moment
of its beginning.
That Great Britain and France, al
though fully alive to the perils Of such
war, are yet in such grim earnest in
their hunger for African territorial
conquest as to make them apparently
indifferent to those perils has been
plainly shown since the opening of the
present troubles. The news OF the ac-
ton of France in sending an important
expedition to the Hnterland for the
purpose of securing treaty concessions
from the native ruler OF the province
Of Pargu Was promptly followed by the
dispatching of a similar British expedi-
tion. armed and equipped by the
British Niger Company, to outwit the
French. Ii was almost inevitable that
a conflict between the two little armies
should follow. and under the chagrin
consequent upon the British haNing
outmarched the French and secured
the treaty desired, it will be strange
indeed if the latter have not been more
than willing to resort to arms at the
first opportunity.
The gravest danger still exists, even
II there has not already been an open
rupture between the French and Eng
lish in Africa. Each is threatening to
invade the others sphere of influence.
the feelings of officers and men Of the
opposing forces are wrought well up to
the point of trying the issue of battle,
the London newspapers are wise in
pointing out "the imminent danger re-
sulting from the proximity of the two
forces in the contested territory" Ana
the most serious phase of the danger
lies in the fact that diplomacy can now
do but little to avert the impending
clash-the decision is in the hands of
soldiers who probably would like moth
ing better than an excuse to fly at one
another's threats, for the respective
glory, let us say, of st. George and st.
Denis, and the requirement, by the vic
torious power. of a great empire in

IcELANp,s MEDICAL sYsrEM.

OF immense Importance for the
health of Iceland is the new arrange
ment of the state medical system.
Thirty years ago there were only seven
official physicians In the whole OF Ice
land. Under the new arrangement the
island will be divided into forty-two
medical districts. each with q regular
physician. A salary, varying in
amount in the different classes, is at
tachcd to the position in addition to
patients fees which latter are regulated
by government ordinance, and there Is
pension. But when one thinks of. the
enormous distances to be travelled on
cold, dark Winter days and nights
there seems 10 be no occasion to envy
these lcelandic country doctors their
salaries and pensions.
These great distances and the small
number Of physicians are in part re
spOnsible for the very slow increase in
the population Of Iceland. Dl
Ehlers, the Danish leprosy specialist
in one Of an interesting series of let
ters from Iceland, published two years
ago, states that large families are 4the
rule in Iceland, family Of from four
teen TO eighteen children being by nc
means unusual. He adds that of this
number Of children frequently not
more than three or four reach matur-
ity. the majority yielding to Group, the
commonest infanule disease in Iceland
