P1TTsBuRa, Aug. 4.-The strikers sttll
continue to gain accessions to their
number from the New York and Cleve-
land company's men. Sandy Greek and
Turtle Creek mines are completely idle
and the Plum Greek men are slowly
but surely coming into line with the
mon encamped in the vicinity. During
the day nearly half Of the diggers at
this stronghold Of the company failed
to 60 to work and q number Of those
who did 60 into the pit have promised
to quit @ soon as they clean up the coal
now lying in their rooms. At Camp

preyented them from staying out. The
miners are satisfied with the progress
they have made. They claimed that
the offending mines were nearer to sus.
pension than they have been since tho
strike was inaugurated and are jubilant
over the work they have done.
Peace and order seem to be the watch
word of the strikers. They realize that
they have the sympathy Of the public
and If they lose it their cause will get
blackeye. At the headquarters Of the
miners officials in this city there were
many callers during the day. Profers
Of aid were numerous and the majority
did not wish the public to know of their
sympathy.
Provisions Are Scarce.
Secretary Warner is experiencing
great difficulty in getting provisions.
The demand for bread is 90 great that
the local bakeries were unable to meet
the orders placed. As a result the
camp at Plum Creek will be short ON
rations. In speaking of the situation
President Dolan said:
1.-THE entire success Of the movement
now depends upon the order maintained
in the camp. We have demonstrated to
De Armitt that his men were not in
vulnerable. When I left the mines his
entire interests were at standstill.
The New York and Cleveland company
has given up all hope Of operating the
Sandy Greek mines while those at Plum
Creek and Turtle Creek are so badly
crippled that there are not enough men
to get out a car Of coal. These state.
ments are not based upon idle talk but
upon personal observation"

A Princess Lacks Half Crown.
Many incidents in the early life Of
Queen Victoria are related in an ar
ticle in st. Nicholas, written by
James Cassidy and entitled Girl
hood Days Of England's Queen"
Mr.. Cassidy says:
A certain story associated with
Tunbridge Wells illustrates how sen.
sibly she was treated. At q bazaar
in that town the little girl had spent
all her money, most unselfshly, it
must be admitted, for she had been
buying presents for her friends. A
pretty box arrested her attention,
and she said to her governess:
"How I should like to buy that
box for So-and-so," whom she men
toned by name, "but it is half a
crown, and I've spent all my
money!"
The saleswoman, saying, "That
is of no consequence" proposed to
inclose it with the other articles.
The Baroness Lehzen objected, as
the princess was not allowed to buy
upon credit, but only for ready
money. The saleswoman immedi-
ately offered to put by the box for
her, and this was gladly agreed to.
1t was quite early one morning some
time afterward when the young
princess, mounted on a donkey, ap-
peared at the shop. She had re-
ceived her allowance and had come
to buy the coveted treasure.
