THE LOCAL MINERS.

Tn the Editor of the Register.
Strive wish to cal the attention
of the general public to the universal
stoppage of all coal mines In the coun-
try except those that furnish fuel TO
water works or for charitable purposes,
as ordered by the National Executive
Board. 1t certainly looks very NEON
sistent to stop a mill or factory that
has a mine of their own and 60 not sell
any of the product of said mine in the
general market, but there are Always
two sides to question, and we shalI
endeavor to give the other side, SO as
to convince the friends OF the coal MIN
err that this strike would be complete
failure if all individual mill or factory
mines were allowed to run. Certainly
we have hundreds of such mines in the
country. some of which ship some OF
the product of their mine into the mar
ket and the ignorance Of a majority OF
our miners is such that the claim Is
that every other miner has just as good
right TO lay down his tools as they
have. and if such and such mine IS
allowed to run, no matter what It's Ell
fects are, they have right TO resume
also. so that in order TO hold that class
of people out in order to gain the Just
ends sought that would have been lost
ere this. we suppose the national OIL
GERS and district presidents came TO the
conclusion to stop everything except
only what is stated above. Then the
general public can realize by expert
ence the worth Of coal miner and
their usefulness in the commercial
world, which would otherwise probably
never be known, as they are considered
by a majority of the aristocracy ana
even some of the people of other trades
as part human only, but when the stop
page is complete outside influence can
be brought to bear upon the operators
that a. settlement can be had in short
order, the conglomeration Of national
tiles engaged in mining coal no doubt is
largely responsible, for no exceptions
being allowed by our national officers,
as the influence would be too great for
many of them to stay out. We sincere
" hope the general public will bear
with us yet a little longer, and all Will
be we'll. The time (if any that has
been lost by the mills or factories. that
are compelled to close on account OF
fuel, will all be made up in the near
future. Certainly it will inconvenience
some for a time, but that will be more
than offset by victory for the miners
whose interest is the concern OF all.

BRIDGEPORT.

The Oriental picnic on the Island
Fair Grounds yesterday was success
in every sense of the word. The at
tendance was very large and every
body seemed to enjoy themselves. The
bicycle race, in which bicyclists Of
this place were allowed to enter, was
very interesting. In the one mile open
ehere were four entries. Herschel Der.
Ty won and Will Lanam came in a
close second. The time made was
2:351a. Bert McCollock won the half
mile race for boys under nineteen
years of age. Charles Enlaw came in
second and James McFedries third.

Not Pleased With Heatherington's Men
and other Local Mines Working-An-
other Meeting Called for Monday.
Some of the dissatisfied miners Of
Bellaire held a meeting at the City Hall
late yesterday afternoon. but the meet
ing resulted in no action or under
standing, as the men were looking for
Secretary Lewis, but he did not arrive.
The majority Of the men there were
from the Wegee mines. AS previously
stated. the men at the upper Heather
ington bank have returned to work, be-
cause the other three local mines are
supplying some of the local industries
with coal.
The fact that the Heatherington men
are working has made the Wegee men
somewhat dissatisfied. as both of these
mines furnish coal to the boats and
compete with each other for trade.
Another meeting is called by the Bell
aire miners to be held at the City Hall
Monday afternoon, when Secretary
Lewis will be present. This meeting
NAV. result in the present complications
being cleared up. If not, the Wegee
men will also go to work and all the
miners in the vicinity Of Bellaire may
follow suit.

Du Manrler Liked the Fashiona.

It was inevitable, as the principle ex- ponent of topical art by pictorial satire, that Du MaHrier should hold pretty strong opinions about women's dress and fashions generally, and it is Q fact that he was by no means decrier of the productions of the modern modiste On the contrary, he admitted a very warm admiration for his feminine oontempo- raries-small waists, pointed shoes, big hats and all-and felt a constant pleas. ure in delineating them. And as for the children of this fortunate country, he would say ho could think of no painte or seulptured children of the past who were more oharming-at least, to him. And this, from an artist who never for got that he was French by birth, was praise indeed. -Lady's Pictorial

He walkod Fer Too ras

In hotel in Berlin there is nle watohman who did not take kindly to tho system adopted 6 few years ago requiring him to go through the hotel at certain hours and touch an electric button fixed up in various places.
 After much thought he fixed up an automatic arrangement on several of the buttons so that they would report at certain hours. Soon the button sys- tenn got so cut of order that the man. agement abolished it.
 1t was found necessary to keep watch in some way on the gentleman, how. ever, and finally pedometer was given him to carry on his rounds which would register every step he took. All went well the first two nights thereafter, but on the morning following the third night the old man was missing. Or search being made he was found sound asleep in the engine room, and the pc. dometer so attached to the piston rod o1 the engine that with every stroke it reg istered step. It had been travelling al night, and when taken off it registered 219 miles. Berlin Gazette.
