He Died Decentlv.

Courier-Jcurnal: For weeks and weeks
Tom Sheppard had been a sick man at our
mining camp at Black Bear valley. Every
body felt sorry for him. and yet a sick
man in mining camp was a great incon-
ventence and burden. One day Judge
Watkins went up to see him. and after
finding him no better and no worse than
he had been for many weeks, he said:

hearted about this thing. but the boys are

is the son of the Rev. George Brooks,
otherwise known as the Prince of
Begging Letter Writer'S" whose doings
were exposed in the. columns of Truth.

Methodist parson, is said TO have OBJ

Tt is Clearly a Fraud.

Washington, June Assistant Sec
rotary Howell has received complaints
that a bonded manufacturing ware
house company of San Francisco is in
the habit of allowing its individual
members 10 send liquors belonging to
them into the warehouse for the pur-
pose of having manipulated and
blended therein in violation of article
100 of the customs regulations, and
that such liquors are subsequently ex-
ported by persons other than the pro-
prietOrs of the house.
The matter was referred 10 Mr.. Reed,
the solicitor OF the treasury, for an
opinion as to the legality of these
transactions. and in a reply he re-
ceived today he holds that neither ar
ticle 700 nor the statutes authorizes
individual members of the company,
any more than other private individ-
uals. to send their liquors to the ware
houses for The purposes of blending or
manipulation, and that no person ex-
cept the bonded proprietor of such
warehouse is entitled to manifest for
expectation and clearance of the goods
manufactured in such premises.

"M'KINLEY WAGES"
The Advance Agent Represented by
a Scarecrow

A dispatch from Altoona, Pa, to the
Denver News, dated June 2, SAYS: Six
hundred idle workmen are walking the
streets of the mining town of Gallitzin,
Is miles west of Altoona, because of a
strike caused by the reduction of
wages. June l the Mitchell Coal and
Coke company and the Taylor & Mccoy
company posted notices of a 5 per cent
reduction per ton on coal used in coke
making The men were at that time
receiving very low wages and the pro-
position to further reduce the rates
aroused their indignation.
A mass meeting was called and last
evening the working force of the town
turned out en- masse to consider a
strike. 4 conspicuous figure in the
gathering was a scarecrow taken from
a neighboring corn field. On the tat
tered coat of the figure was pinned
flaming placard bearing the inscrip-
ton: .-McKinley's advance agent"
After a prolonged discussion it was
unanimously agreed to refuse to accept
the reduction and declare a strike. One
of the speakers. a white haired miner,
was greeted with cheers when he
stepped upon a box and cried: I'VE
can't work for Mckinley wages" After
the en- went cut the Mitchell company
posted a second notice, making a
further reduction of cents per ton

GRECO-TURKISh TROUBLES.
Germany Advocates the Turkish
Evacuation of Thessally.

London, June Alt is officially stated
that Count Muravieff, the Russian for
eign minister, has expressed TO the Greek
minister at st. Petersburg his personal
sympathy and his hope that Greece will
b. able to save the harvest in Thessaiy.
1t is also understood that Germany now
advocates the Turkish evacuation of
1hessaly. provided Greece gives a salts
factory guarantee of payment of the in
demnity.
Bur there is still every indication that
TURKEY means TO remain in Thessaly.
Several Turkish officials, accompanied by
TER harems. have arrived in this city
from ConstantinOple.
tdhesn Pasha has ordered granaries to
be prepared for the storage of the har-
vest. and is using every Involvement TO
get the peasants to return ana accept
turkish rule.
TIE powers have advised Greece to &C
cept Turkeys demand 10 raise the block
ade Greece in turn insists upon some
guarantee that Tlirkey will keep her
promise not to land munitions OF war. IL
is therefore still uncertain whether the
arrn:st.ce difficulty will be settled
1t is reported from ConstantinoDle that
the peace preliminaries have been agreed
to. but this probably means that the am
bassa6ors have been invited TO submit
drafts of details.
