arriving at the fatal bend in the road
near Batimer, they a ain found them
selves confronted bv the Sheriff, this time
backed up by an army of deputies.
AS soon as hey reached The spot, it is
oaclared, Sheriff Martin stepped out and
roughly grabbed the foremost man by the
coat collar. With his other hand he
used abusive language.
The miner knocked the Sheriff's re-
volver from in front of his face and tried
20 wrench himself from the officials grasp.
Almost instantly, the affidavit says, the
order to fire was given. The deputies
were lined up in a hollow square, the
fourth side of which was formed by the
body of strikers. This would possibly ac-
count for the fact that so many were shot
in the back and side.

In the Office of the Lehigh Traction
Company is a brown cutaway coat which
one Of The men, now dead, wore on Friday
last. There are three bullet holes in it,
one through the front, one through the
arm and third through the tail. In an
inside pocket was found a cheap nickel
32.caliber "bulldog" revolver. This had
not been used in the riot, because the
chambers contained neither empty nor
loaded shells, and it could not have been
fired before the man was shot. because he
would have had no time TO reload it.
1t is established that this is the only
weapon found In the whole mob of miners,
and the conditions indicate that the first
shot could not have been fired from their
utles, and one of these was made UP of
men who have served as mine police In

HAZLETON, Pa, Sept. 12.-The situa-
tien here tonight is graver than at any
time since the bloody affray OF Friday al
ternoon. There is strong reason to fear a
conflict between the strikers ana the mill
tary, a2d there is an indication that from
5000 to 1000 more miners will join the NAL
contents.
Feeling continues high against Sheriff
Martin and his deputies and the intensity
OF the situation is such that a sudden turn
OF the head or a word spoken above the
ordinary tone brings a running crowd.
The soldiers are wa,chful and ready for

town are IN a state which may easily be-

Trouble is IN the air, and if it is to come
the time Will be tomorrow morning. This
is clear from the words used by General
Goblin, commander of the Third Brigade.
The striking miners have made elaborate
preparatiops for a demonstration at the
funeral of ten of the victims, which is
fixed for 10:3O O'Clock in the morning.
The military authorities are determined
that nothing Of the kind shall be per-
mitted, and that from this time on there
shall be no marching of any character
whatsoever, whether during funerals or
otherwise. This resolution is not generally
known, and the miners are going on with
their arrangements.

THE MESSAGE OF THE STARS.

1t was the hour in which God speaks
through silence; the very dumbness made
eloquent Interpretation of the divine thought.
For silence is the spiritual clothing of
thought. There is no frou-frou of soft
words, no allurement of prettily colored
phrases to distract from the beautiful thing
they cover. The hour of Gods speaking,
and the world white with fading moonlight
and glimmering stars, and the noise of the
city hushed; the spires of distant churches,
pointing like slender fingers to heaven;
lights growing dim in the windows of houses
where the sick are tended or the dead
watched in their quietude
The hour of Gods speaking when the
song of the world issues from the measure
less depths of silence The murmurs of its
revolutions are blended into harmony of
such rarely perfect information that it can be
heard only with that inner, subtle sense
which perceives. the beautiful in it's celes-
tlal creation. Clothed materially, it is in
audible, or at best mere whispering echo.
He that hath ears to hear, let him hear"
But how can dull soul be alive to sensitive
vibrations? How can he hear to whom hear
ing has been denied?
The message of the stars is given to him
whose soul is opened to the spiritual-to
him from whom materialism slips for one
moment; to him who goes up into the noun
tain-top alone. In that night when the stars
sang together there was an answering song

were quickened to the melody; others heard
nothing but the heavy breathing of a gross
world
The hour of Gods speaking l drew the
curtain aside and looked out at the stars.
1 wondered what soul, that night, would be
receptive to their message. How can one
understand who is accustomed only to reve-
lations of the divine through the simple Ian
guage of earthly duties-little homely du-
ties set within the four walls of home? The
child stirred in his bed and threw his arms
outside the covering. 1 went to him and
laid his arms down over his breast and
drew the covers close up under his chin;
and l kissed him. / always kiss him when
go to him at night no matter how often,
although he is a great boy, with shoulders
touching my own. If he should be half
awake and 1 should not kiss him he might
be disappointed. 1 thought that perhaps
one word of the unspoken message for which
so many listen, one tone of the wordless
song which the stars once sang together,
might be love-and if it were that. one per-
haps might understand, since God is love.
In his sleep the child murmured some words
of foolish endearment. And T.. understood
how the message is sometimes given, even
though one dwell in the valley instead of
upon the mountain-top. OLLAH TOPH.

and might easily thus have remained the
Kings favorite. Because she was womanly
she aspired to something more. She felt
for her people, and could not be happy until
they were safe. The times we live in have
their distresses. Every family has its griefs
Every mother has her burden. The girl
for the times will have a heart to feel for
others, and hand to help. In doing this
the girl becomes the woman.
The girl for the times believes in God, and
leans upon his aid. a flower without sweet
oder, springtime without bird, a night
sky without star. is woman without re-
lgion. Woman's power is love. Woman's
love ought always to uplift and save. Alas
that it should sometimes corrupt and de-
stroy! True love is of God. How can
woman love as she ought until her soul has
first been mellowed by experiences of divine
regard?
Womans gift to the world is not only
life. but courage. The broker upon change
is overwhelmed by his losses. BY whom is
he aroused to new efforts and encouraged in
safer ventures? Frost and storm devastate
the fields where harvests grow. Who keeps
their owner cheerful while he goes forth
again to plow and sow? The candidate for
public Office, assailed by opponents with
scandal and misrepresentation, is inglori-
ously defeated in a costly contest. Who
causes him to lift up his head and makes
him feel that he is still a man? Woman,
frail of body but stout of heart. Where
does woman get her courage? From moth

the source whence Esther had hers. She
believes in God. She is strong in faith. To
Mordecai Esther said: Gather the Jews
and fast for me and will do likewise and
then 1 will go to the king" The fasting
was religious act, associated with worship
and prayer.
The ideal of womanhood is Ruth, choos-
ing the people of God for her portion;
Jephtha's daughter trusting that Gods
way is best even when it leads to extreme
self-denial: and Esther, confiding herself
and her people to God while she courageous
ly devotes herself 10 their relief.

The opening bill for English's new opera

a perfect playhouse, in the sense that ev-

that the beauty of the furnishings will
