Colombus, O., Aug. 20-The national
executive board of the Mime Workers
adjourned today, after having issued
the call for the meeting of organized
labor to be held in St. Louis, Aug. &c.
The board rejected the proposition of
the Pfttsburg operators for a confer
ence to arbitrate the wage dispute in
that district, claiming that such action
would be prejudicial to the interests of
the miners at large. The board is
ready to consider overtures for the
arbitration of the issues of the great
strike only when these oVertures come
from all the operators in the districts
which include Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
West Virginia and Pennsylvania The
board has decided not to deviate from
the established policy until the result
of the st. Louis conference is known
The aggressive work in the field will
be continued and the efforts to spread
the strike in the West Virginia district
will be renewed.
HANGS. ON a THREAD.
The. success or failure of the strike
hangs upon the result of the confer
ence, the call for which has been en-
dorsed by Samuel Gompers, president
OF the American Federation of Labor
and J. r. Sovereign, grand master
workman of the Knights of Labor.
They maintain that the fight now be-
ing waged by the miners is one of COM
mon interest to common labor through

ference all labor organizations Will be

He Put II Back.

An effective reproof was that given
by an elderly man to fashionably
dressed young woman, who, it seems,
must have been surprised quite out
of her manners.
The young woman was walking rap
IDLY along a street shaded by many
trees, when the elderly man, coming
up behind her, saw large caterpillar
on the collar of her coat.
81 beg your pardon, he said, lay
ing OBTAINING hand on her arm as
h. spoke and removing the obnoxious
crawler, 81 wished to take off this cat
erpillar which was almost on your
neck"
The young woman stared haughtily
and with an air of resentment at the
caterpillar and was about to pass on
with no word Of thanks.
"If l made a mistake and you would
prefer to have the caterpillar replaced
l can easily put it back" said the old
gentleman courteously, suiting the
action to the word.

How Ore President Elect Received the
News.

In the course Of an article on "The
Making of a President in the Fort
nightly Review, Francis II. Hardy tells
the following incident:
at was my good fortune to be Wis
iting at the house Of man when he
received news Of his election to the
Presidency. To my young mind the
mere thought of such high honor was
bewildering | could not picture how
| would act in such circumstances.
But | did have a vague notion that
man at such time would act in 'dra-
matte fashion-call to the gods for
aid-ask high heaven to witness his
gratitude +; register his VOW OF loyalty
TO duty and Deity. Here, then, was
an opportunity to test my theory, and
7 awaited results with keen anxiety.
We were at breakfast when the tele-
gram arrived. His wife tore 1t open,
and her voice all 10 a tremble, read,
You are elected beyond shadow Of a
doubt. looked closely at the lucky
man. Not muscle moved, not the
slightest change IN his expression was
visible. He was silent for few Sec
onds and then, as he broke open an
egg, he quietly observed, Mother, that
egg would suffer no injury if kept an
other year.
Really, | was tempted to throw my
cup of coffee at him, his levity seemed
go sacreligous. ! hated him because
he was 80 lacking in human nature.
Half an hour later | was passing the
stables. Looking in, ! saw the cold
blooded Pregident-elect standing by
the side of his fayorite horse. One
arm was thrown over It's neck, his face
was buried in the name, and his whole
frame was convulsed. That very hu-
man side of his nature which be kept
out Of sight, even when surrounded BY
bis own family, he had revealed TO his
dear old horse. AS l passed on |
realized that my beyhood idol was
again on its old pedestal, and knew
that the making Of President had
not, in this case, been the unmakiDg Of
a man."

His Own Business.

"If a man wants to drink whiskey,
that is his own business says the
saloon apologist.
Let's see. When Bob Poland and
Coon Parker were drinking in Hefln,
Ala, last Saturday night, aud in their
spree ran car of the Southern Rail-
road off the switch and out on the
main track down the grade, till it
stopped on a high trestle, it became
the Southern Railroads business.
And when a loaded freight train
came along and crashed into the car,
causing 100000 wreck, destroying
much valuable merchandise, it became
the business of a great many mer-
chants and shippers, as well as the
raiload.
And when three dead bodies were
dug out from under the wreck, it be-
came the business Of some wives and
orphans.
And when the taxpayers are called
upon to support the families whose
natural providers have mus been sud-
denly taken away, it will become the
business of several other people.
One mans drinking often becomes
the business of several hundreds or
thousands of people, and the man who
cannot perceive this fact ought to be
sent at once to an institution for the
education of the feeble-minded.

Imprisoned in a Car With Tarantulas.

In Pullman car on the south-bcund
Missouri Pacific limited last night
were two passengers who attracted
sympathetic attention, The woman
was str;kingly beautiful, while her
companion may have been either 80 or
60 years old. Sharp lines disfgured
his otherwise attractive features, and
there was quick, nervous movement
of the head and hand that suggested
palsy.
The man was James Payne, of Par.
kersburg, W. Va, where his family is
well to-do. Two months ago he start
ed for the Pacific Coast, He had his
pocket picked, but decided to continue
his Journey without money.
He climbed into a car loaded with
bananas, and soon the door was locked.
He struck a match and was horrihed
to see a number of large taantulas.
To leap from the door of the car meant
certain death. While these thoughts
darted through his mind a cold, hairy
substance dashed itself in his face,
and he tainted. How long he lay I'M
conscious be does not know, but when
he again came to life il was broad
daylight, and the train was still speed.
ing like the wind
His apprehension was increased
when he saw that they had engaged
in fearful and deadly combat among
themselves. For hours he sat there
facing these dreadful creatures, who
neither advanced nor retreated
He again became unconscious, ami
when next he knew what was going
on about him he was on cot in a
hospital in Portland, Oregon. He had
been there a month, and had gone
through a well.nigh fatal attack of
brain fever. Meantime the authori-
ties, having discovered his identity
from his delirious talk, had telegraphed
to his people, and the young woman
had fastened to his bedside.
He had not been found until the
car was opened at its destination,
when he was unconscious and raving
like a maniac. A mark in his fore
head indicated that he had in reality
been bitten by tarantula, probably
when he tainted the second time. AS
soon as he was able to travel he start
ed for home by easy stages.

second wounded FIVE men. Then the
storm broke, the sea increased, and
although the firing continued, no great
damage was done on either side.
Daylight was turned into evening by
the storm. There was heavy rain,
with gusts of wind and the keenest Of
lightning and the lOudest of thunder.
Our decks were ankle deep, but every
man stood to his gun and continued
his fight. As the darkness increased
the brig crept closer to us, and dur
ing the last ten minutes of the fight
one could have heaved a stone aboard
of her.
One saw her in the play Of the
lightning, and for an instant could
almost look into the eyes Of the men
aboard, and then for few seconds
she would be lost in the darkness.
You felt the conclusion along the
deck, but the report was lost in the
war of the elements
Loading and firing every gun which
would bear as fast as possible, the
Ruby Castle rushed forward on her
course, and hanging to her quarter
like a bulldog to his prey followed the
Celeste. Of a sudden there was a
great crash aloft, and down came fore
and main topmasts togrther. The
men were called from the guns to clear
the wreckage, and the ship was in
danger of broaching to and being
swept, when there came such flash
of lightning as seemed to burn the
eyeballs. This was followed by a
thunder clap which seemed to lift the
ship out of the water, and then fifty
pairs of eyes saw a great spout Of
fame shoot up out of the sea. In the
midst of the fame were masts, yards
and sails and flying objects. The brig
had been struck by lightning, and her
magazine had blown up. There was
puff, boom, gust of red flame,
and that was the end. She was blown
into matchwood, with her black flag
whipping in the gale and her crew
working at the guns, and the last pr
ate craft to plow the South Atlantic
was no more.-NeU York Herald.
