there Is no profit In the store tt must be
run just for the accommodation OF the
miners. High enough prices are asked
at the stores, howeYerto insure against
loss, The store Is also used as a
condition OF securing employment at the
mine, The miner must patronize the

Will be said In the state legislature
about the company store, for Labor

on the subject.
Some OF the remarks dropped by Glen

the store at that place Miners. farm
ers and others testify that the men In
the mines are charged on an average OF
40 per cent more for their provisions
than Is charged elsewhere. Unless there
has been a change recently, one pound
packages OF coffee sold at twenty cents
each. At other stores they sold two for
quarter, Potatoes, twenty cents Il
peck elsewhere, were sold at forty
cents.
Every man securing work at the
Glendale mine is supposed to buy a lot
from the company The lots are 25xllO
and the miner pays 5000 for one, In pay
ments of 81 so per week
Glendale miners each pay 81 month
for getting their tools sharpened, There
are seventy-five men, making SIS for
the tool sharpener, who gets but 81 so
a day, and then has to do the COM
pany's work before he attends to the
men. The state law says the company
must square and fix the props in the
mine The men have to do 1t.
This mine Is mentioned because its
workings were investigated. The other
mines In the district, with company
stores, are said TO be similar In many
respects, It can be said that the men
don't have to buy at the company store
1t can also be said that all Of them do,
and that nearly all are in debt to the

reached the city and marched down
town by way OF Main street to Twenty
seventh, thence to Chapline and thence
TO Jacob, and down that thoroushfnre
to Forty-elghth street, where they join
the men already eHeamped about the
entrance to the Boggs Run mines. The
Intelllgencer reporter counted the
Wheeling Creek men at the corner of
Fourteenth and Main streets and they
numbered ITO men, They marched
along without making any noise, in
fact the policeman on an adjoining beat
didn't know such small army OF men
had invaded the city,
The ohioans marched without any
appearance OF haste, some with buck
cts of grub" in their hands and many
with their coats ON their arms. The
strikers reached Forty-eight street at
3:45 a. M, but at that hour the Boggs'
Run miners had not commenced to APP

Waited on tho Men.
Last night a committee of the striking
miners across the river, headed by Sec
rotary Thomas l.. Lewis, Of the Ohio
organization, went down TO Wegee, be-
low Bellaire. and waited on the miners
employed in that plant. 1t was stated
at late hour that the men had agreed
to Join the strike, but the information
could not be confirmed. The Heather
ington mine has been idle since last
Friday, the evening paper TO the con-
trnry Notwithstanding. The Wegce
and Heatherington mines supply coal
to the steamboats, and the shutting
down OF both plants would mean
trouble for the river people, for the only
other river mines in the upper river
that are working are located below lRa-
venswood in the Pomtroy bend. over 100
miles from Wheeling, The packets that

British Admiralty Red Tape.

Every one who has to do with the
admiralty is familiar with amusing
tales of the glorifcation of red tape.
Here is the very latest. Some time
ago o workman in one Of the dock
yards lost q government candle
stick, valued at a few pence. This
was considered sufficient excuse for
a report by the local officials to
Whitehall. A long correspondence
Of the approved government Office
type ensued, and it is estimated that
not less than 95 was spent in the Of
foials' time, ink and paper. After
every aspect of the case had been
weighed the workman was directed
to pay the local officials the sum of
fvepence, being the value set upon
this particular candlestick. Of
course, if the man had been in pri-
vate employment, little or no notice
would have been taken Of such
trivialty, or, at most, he would
have paid his foreman the value,
without any red tapeism.-West-
minister Gazette.

The story is told of young married wo-
man, who asked another young married
woman how she managed to get along so
amicably with her husband. The answer
was, "I feed the brute-his stomach with
food and his mind with fattery." Even
man will have to admit that this young wo-
man had solved about two.thirds of the art
of making the average man happy. The
other third consists of keeping his body in
such condition that he will enjoy his food
and his mind in such condition that he wilp
be susceptible to fattery. 1t isn't much use
to put tempting food before a man who
hasn't an appetite. 1t doesn't pay to lavish
smiles on a man whose nerves are racked
and overworked.
The average man pays very little attention
to his health, and won't take medicine OF
his own accord until he is fiat on his back
A shrewd wife will keep an eye on her hus-
bands welfare in this respect and when
she sees that he is bilious or suffering from

Ivy of Ireland in my garden grows
Beside the fo1glove that the wild bee knows
More dear to me than lavender or rose.
Gray moths about me fit, and gold wasps hum.
The bees salute it softly as they come.
The east wind loitecs by it and is dumb
Or whispers very lightly Of green rings
The hollow raths, the fairy people springs
And buried days when Boholaun had wings
And rode amid the unforsotten Shee.
Or the west wind comes laughing from the SEQ
And tells the youngest leaves Of days to be,
When Erin's grievous wound is healed and she
Shall lift her gracious head and, smiling, see
Her children coming crowned about her knee

But weuld to God the day we wait we're herel

Little more than drift of the air

air in all its quills, it breathes

subdues it, surpasscs it, outraces 1t,
and in its throat is the voice of the
air. AS we may imagine the wild

passion through the soft spring

Of the bird are put the colors of the
