marked the beginning OF the second
week Of the coal miners strike and al
ready II gives promise Of belng one ~
the greatest WACO struggles IN the his
tory Of this country.
Eight daya ago tho coal operators
IN this district and the miners them
selves little dreamed that within ono
short week such an era Of general
suspension could be wrought MS now
exists IN the bituminous mining in
dustry. The mouths OF the many coal
tipples that DOT the Monongahela Al

Greek valleys and the valleys of Toms
and Millers run were open and turn
Ing out the thousands and thounanis
Of tons Of the best coal that enters into
the competitive markets Of the world.
Now All Ia changed. The vast oayorns
are like 40 many graveyarda on tho
hlllaldea basking In the shade. There
is an army Of $4,000 unemployed who
are anxiously waiting for notice TO
join the troops Of idlera. On nearly
every railroad track leading 10 the
mines there stands empty cars, appar-
entity anxious 10 bo loaded. that their
burdens may be carried TO the ports
along tho lake. The success that has
already attended the movement has
greatly clated the miners and during
the next few days every effort will be
made 20 bring out the men In the few
mines that ars still working. This
will be o,acult task. but they ex-
press confidence in their ability 20
make the suspension complete before
the week IA forty-elght hours old.
From the best information obtain
able the Pittsburg operators are in no
hurry to have the dlnioulty adjusted.
So many Of them have stocks in rail-
road sldlngs, which they hold for an
advance. Much OF this was uispoaed
~ Saturday at a good profit a prom
inont operator said yesterday that Il
would take another week TO determine
the exact state Of the market. and by
that time general cleaning up will
have taken place. All interested will

In compromise" said another promi'
nent operator. "Tho operators are II

and believe the miners are In about
the same condition. II looks as Il
business will brighten up. and In that
event the operators will bo able TO get
better prices and the condition Of bust
meas and the condition ot the miner
will be simultaneously improved"
lust now the greatest obstacle In th'
way OF success OF tho miners Is th'
activity Of the diggers In the Wes
virginia field. They are working nigh
and day and are getting ready 20 sup
ply all the coal that is needed, The,

German Postage Stamps.

Contrary to the custom of most mon.
archs, Emperor William II Of Germany
has never allowed his effigy to be en-.
graved upon q postage stamp, and philat.
elists and the world in general have
wondered at the modesty in this respect
OF the young kaiser. who usually is not
averse to having his features displayed
before the eyes of his admiring subjects.
No direct and authentic reason has been
given why the Prussian black eagle has
not been long ago replaced by the kai
ser's effigy, but perhaps an explanation
may be found in the strain of supersti.
tion which more than once has infiu.
enced the action of the Hohenzollerns.
The Prussian stamps issued from 1850
to 1858 bore the image of Frederick
William w. But the year before he be.
came legally insane he had it replaced
with the black eagle, for he could NOT
bear to see his countenance soiled and
multilated by the postoffice employees.
A few yeags ago an enterprising Berlin
manufacturer had lead pencils made.
upon which was stamped q has relief
