"A WONDERFUL WORKSHOP"
First of Series of Practical Talks to
Boys.

First of Series of Practical Talks to
Boys.
The first of series of six practical talks
to boys between II and II was held at
the Mission Y. NJ. G. A. yesterday alter
noon, when Rev. DR.. Beard of Grace NJ. E.
Church spoke to eighty-six boys on "a
Wonderful Wo rkshop." He said that the
brain was the center of the nervous sys-
tenn and controlled all the actions of the
body. The automatic muscles were con-
trolled by the little brain, and these
actions occurred because the muscles had
got into the habit of doing one particular
thing. The speaker impressed on the boys
the Importance of forming good habits IN
youth, warning the boys especially against
intemperance and impurity.
These meetings are to be continued
every day this week at o'clock. The
subjects for the week are The Feet"
The Hands," The Head" "The
Heart" The New Life" and will be
handled by Rev. George Gibson, Robert
Lynch, Rev. William RAIDER, DR.. II. @.
French and Rev. Robert Liddell.

THE TRocHA-M. B. W., City. The troeha,
which has been often mentioned in eonnec-
ton with the war in Cuba, is line across ter
r1tory and it divides one army from the other.
A writer for an Eastern paper, in alluding TO
the trocha now in Cuba, says "The line eX.
tends from Havana to the southern coast OF
the island, and its original purpose was TO
divide the inSurgent forces, part OF which were
in the western portion OF the island under
Maceo ald the rest in the eastern portion
under Gomez and Garcia. 1t consists princi-
pally of a barbed wire fence feet inches
high, with sentinel detachments Immediately
behind it. About forty yards back OF this is
trench feet wide and feet deep, With a
breastwork of palmetto logs, and fifty yards
farther back are log houses IN which the
troops are quartered. The number OF soldiers
required to guard the whole line is about
5000. It's construction cost much labor on
the part of the Spanish troops in the heat OF
torrid sun and under other trying conditions,
and hundreds OF them died before IL was nm
ished. The trocha is General Weyler's idea OF
compre hensive and effective strategy"

WILL FORCE THE ISSUE.
Strikers to Test the Legality Of Judge
McIllwayne's Order.

strikers TO IeSt the Legality Oh
McIllwayne's Order.
Pittsburg, Aug. &c. The striking
miners at Cannonsburg have determined
to force the injunction issue by contin-
uing their daily marches and meet
ings in the neighborhood of the Nc
Govern and Cannons burg mines in
spite of the order OF Judge McIllwayne,
forbidding marches on the roads lead
ing to the mines. The purpose is to
have the men arrested in order to test
the legality of the injunction.
Patrick Dolan stated it had been de-
termined to keep up the marches, and
as fast as one group was arrested an
,ther one will take its place until there
will be so many Of them in Jail that
opinion will be aroused on the question
of urging new form of injunction.
In these movements the support of
all the leading trades unions of the
country are said to have been pledged
at a secret meeting in Columbus during
the last 10 days, presided over by
Samuel Gompers.
Information has been received bv
the Pttsburg operators that the miners
OF the Bell, l. wis & Yates Company
have struck in Reynoldsville. and the
rest of the mines of the company are
idle. The company is one of the heav-
lest tonnage producers in the northern
field. About 5000 men are employed.
The usual march of miners was made
at Turtle Creek ut O'Clock this mOrp
ing, but more men went into the pit to-,
day than yesterday. Firms from all
sections are coming to the rescue of the
strikers. A certain cereal company at
Akron, o., sent dispatch offering to
donate two tons of corn meal. The
offer was accepted The Fishermen's

Mines Must Close.

Denver, Aug. lit is probable
that the great silver mines of Creole,
Colo, will be closed down on account
OF the low price of silver, unless the
railroad and smelling rates are re-
duced. Several conferences have been
held between the mine-owners and the
smelter and railroad officials, and it is
said the latter evinced disposition to
make every concession possible in order
to keep the mines in operation.
1t is also understood that the miners
at Creede are willing to accept re-
duction in wages from SO per day of
eight hours to 1915 in wet mines and
$3.50 in dry, rather than have the
mines closed.

DROWNED IN THE SURF
r,, rudertow at Atlantic City Claimed
Two Victims.

Atlantic City, Aug. 1.-Two ven
.rrosome bathers were drowned in the
surf today. They were Thomas ~
Laswell, aged 21, of Princeton, ND
and an unknown man, supposed 10 DC
an excursionist from Philadelphia.
Laswell came here this morning with
his friend p. NJ. PARROT, also from
princeton, on his first visit to the sea-
shore The Young men went into the
surf shortly before noon, ana Laswei'
who seemed to be unaware OF the dait'
perous undertow, was soon beyond MS
deptb and calling for help. The ire
Guards made a brave effort to save him,
but the surf was SO heavy that they
we're unable to reach the drowning
man. Laswel struggled in the water
for about 10 minutes in full view Oh
about 10, 900 people, gathered on the
pier. board walk and beach.
PARROT nearly lost his life in at
tempting to save that OF his FRIEND
and was taken from the water in an ex-
bausted condition. Late in the after
noon the body of Laswell came ashore.
1t was turned over 10 Iocai uH"o'
taker, who prepared it for shipment to
Indiana.
When Laswell checked his valuablea
at the bathOuse where he obtained his
bathing suit, he laughingly remarked
to the clerk: 81 will leave my ad-
dress, so that in case l am drowned
YOU can send my valuables home. "
The Jest was tragedy in less than an
hour.
The second drowning occurred about
3 o'clock, and the body of the man had
not come ashore to late hour tonight.
The surf today was the heaviest OF
the season, owing to gale which pre-
vailed, and between 25 and 30 persons
were rescued, many of them women.

Chehalis. Wash, Aug. ia young
lady who lives near Newaukum, while
walking on the railroad track toward
this town one afternoon short time
ago, had very narrow escape from
death under the wheels of a passenger
train. She was upon the long trestle
south of town when the train came.
She started to run, hoping to reach the
end of the trestle before the train
caught her, but, after running a short
distance, she fell. As soon as the en-
gineer saw her he put on the brakes.
When the train came to standstill,
the nose of the cowcatcher touched her
PROSTATE body. She was assisted to
raise and went on her way unframed,
except for few trifiing scratches.
When the train got under way the pas
sengers held a meeting and passed a
resolution commencing Engineer Jones
warmly for the GOODNESS and prompt
ness with which he acted.
