II young man would contemplate
an Ideal OF useful living, we commend
to him the address delivered by Carl
Schurz at the funeral of William Stein
way, the head of the great house Of
piano manufacturers After referring
to the fact that the dead man began his
active life as simple workman and in
Ms success remained the ideal knight Of
labor MIR. Schurz said:
He was pattern as rich man. I
wish could call the millionaires Of
the land to this bier and say to them.
Those among you who lament that at
times poverty looks with mutterings on
riches learn from this dead man.
His millions Were never begrudged
him. The dark glance of envy never fell
upon him. Covetousness itself passed
him by disarned and reconciled Yes,
every one would have rejoioed to see
him still richer, for every one knew
that everything he got contributed to
the welfare of all.
No one fulfilled better than he the
duties of wealth. There was no pulled
up pride of possession, no extravaganza
prank of display. Simple as ever re-
manned his being, modest his mode Of
life. But he knew one luxury, and he
practiced it; that was the luxury of the
liberal fland-a princely luxury that
few of the worlds greatest have in
dulged in more richly than lie.
1T was not money alone that he
gave. 1t was the heart joy Of the genu-
inc benefaotor, with which he babe the
worthy welcome and often anticipated
their wants. 1t was the bright cheerful
ness of the willing giver who could con-
ceivo no abuse of his generosity.

say that i'll this man every human being

Looking Upward.

One who accustoms himself to think
of pure and holy things, who sets his
affections on things above and strives
to reach whatever things nre lovely, will
grow upward toward the things he loves
and thinks upon. But one who lets his
mind turn habitually to debasing
things, things unholy, unclean, sensual,
will find his whole soul bending down
ward and growing toward the earth.-

"a continued dullness is about the

Very low trade is reported from all

The declInatlon of the miners at the
two mines of the Boggs' Run Mining
Company, In the lower end of the city,
to come out and join the strike, has
caused a break In the strike in this
nelghborhood. 1t viii be remembered
that early in the week the men at the
works Of the Glendale Coal Companyat
Glendale, eight miles down the river
Joined the strlke-or az least all OF the
men employed there with the exception
OF a few who continued mining enough
coal for the Baltimore s. Ohio and
Ohio River railroad englnes-and 1t
was stated that they would remain out
until the strike was ended.
Yesterday, however. many of the min
ers returned to work at the sixty-cent
and It is learned that the daily out
put of the mine is nearly as heavy as
that before the strike troubles t''ere,
What effect this break at Glendale Will
have at other mines whose men are on
strike Is not known. The IN 'rs' or
ganlzation, II Is said, will make anoth-
err determined effort to bring out the
men at Glendale and at the two mines
OF the Boggs' Run Company, as We'll as
those at the Elm Grove mint, where tho
efforts of the organizers have so far
been without effect.

Coke Trade sltaa,lon.

The report OF the coke trade for last
week in the Connellsvlle region shows
ll,275 ovens in blast and production of
1870 tons. This is the largest produc-
ton since the early weeks In 1896, and Is
almost unprecedented for this season of
the year. There are indications that the
trade will continue TO increase. The
shutdown OF some of the iron mills has
not had any noticeable effect on the iron
and coke trades so far, and 1t will likely
be over before any material harm can be
done, The coal strike may cut more OF a
figure In the coke trade than the wage
disagreement, and may probably result
In the stoppage OF some az the Industrial
establishments. However the trend OF
Ilthe trade In the region Is toward an In
crease and 1t is probable that the active
list OF ovens Will be further increased be-
fore the close OF the week,
There are now about 7,1O2 Idle ovens In
the region, and last weeks output shows
an increase OF over 5000 tons. The ship
ments OF coke from the region In cars
for the week amounted 10 6,735, as
against SSH the previous week. The rail-
road companies have been busy hand
ling the cars on account OF the Increased
run in the coal business from the West
Virginia fields and the lower end OF the
ConnellsvilIe region. The shipments were
distributed as follows: To Pittsburgh and
river points. 2S65 cars. an increase of
3lO; to points west of Pittsburgh, 2,475
cars, an increase of 400; to points east OF
Everton. 1896 cars, an Increase OF 1879.
The shipments this week are showing
well and are expected to run high.

MINERS APPEAL
To Their Fellow workmeh in the West
Virginia Coal Fields.


The following is a copy of the clrcu'
lar with which the West Virginia coal
fields, where the miners are at work, is
being flooded by labor organizers:
There is struggle golng on in the
different states by your fellow crafts
men for a living wage or a wage sufii-
Gent to maintain life. The states OF IL
lInols, Indiana, Ohio. Pennsylvania, Al
ALBANIA and the Fairmont dIstrlc, OF
West Virginia are completely tied up.
The coal miners OF these have laid down
their work for the purpose OF obtaining
a, living wage. In the coal miners
general movement of 1894 the coal min
ers OF West Virginia were induced, I'M
der false promises by the operators, to
remain at work, and the result was that
the miners and mine workers OF Illinois,
Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania were
forced to make a settlement.
In 1895 the coal miners of Vest Viz
ginia laid down their tools In order to
receive living wage, but their brothers
In other states kept at work and the
consequence was that you were forced
into submission by the operators. Now
In 1897 there Is n chance for the coal
miners of the eastern part OF the United
States TO better their condition, and 1t
remains for the miners of West Virgin
IA TO say whether there shall be better
vases and conditions or not. The coal
miners of West Virginia are receiving
the lowest wages of all the soft coal
miners in this country. The condition OF
all the miners can be bettered. All they
need is unity Of action. II the coal min
ers of West Virginia will refrain from
work short time the battle Is won, and
there will be equal wages and condi-
lions.
We therefore appeal to you in tho
name OF your wives and children, on
whose faces to-day the pinch OF hunger
"a stamped; we appeal to YOU In the
name of the widows andorphans OF thou
sands who have sacrificed their lives In
creating wealth for others; we appeal to
YOU In the name Of Justice, righteous
ness and the name OF humanity, to
assist your fellow miners who are en-
deavoring TO bring the miners into per-
petual slavery. and who will endeavor
TO have YOU suffer more In the future
than You have in the past, II they sue
coed in defeating the miners In their
demand for better wages and condl-
lions.
Arouse, awake from your sleep and
help yourselves and brother miners.

Member Miners Executive Board.

PITTSBURGH. July 23.-The Ale
gheny valley was again visited by
heavy rains las. night and the precip-
itatlon was sufficient TO warrant the
prediction Of coalboat stage of water.
There was Utmost scant boat water in
the Ohio river az noon and the river Is

also reported along the Clarion river,
which Is conclusive evidence that the
rainfall was general.

morrow. The Lysie Coal Company Il

At meeting held yesterday afternoon
at the office of the STANDARD Iron
and Steel Company, In Aetnaville. the
finishing touches OF the consolidation Of
Ae.na-Standard Iron and Steel Company
and the Junction Iron and Steel Com
pany, OF Wheeling, were made and the
Junction company is now a corporation
of the past having been absorbed by the
Aetna-standard.
At yesterdays meeting there was an
attendance of almost the entire boards
OF the two companies. To make room
for the board OF directors NJ the Aetna
Standard for three representatives of the
Junction company, three directors ten
dered their designations They were
Major AlonZo LorIng, Mr. Joseph Bell
and Mr., ]. A. Topping, Their places are
taken by Messrs. George Dean, Ambrose
List and Captain Uquehart Mr., Top
ping, however, remains in.hls position as
secretary OF the Aetna Standard COM
pany.
Glowing this action regular meeting
Of the new board was held, at which only
routine business was transacted. The
absorption Of the Junction by the Aetna
Standard provides that the capital stock
Of the former shall be replaced by the
same amount of stock of the Aetna
Standard company, 100000. This makes
the capital stock Of the Aetna-stanlard
100000. one OF the largest iron manu-
featuring concerns in the United States.
By the absorption Of the Junction, the
Actna-Standard acquires the business OF
the former and its plant, which Is located
at Mingo Junction, up the river, in JEFF
ferson county. Ohio. This movement
makes 1t unnecessary for the erection of
the proposed new steel plant at Aetna
