FAIRMONT, W. Va, July 19.-Eugene
v. Debs addressed the entire male popu-
latlon of Fairmont tonight and about
200 miners from the nelghboring collier
les The meeting was very enthusiastic
and he was frequently epplauded by the
miners To-day at Monongah, he held
meeting also, and about 300 OF the $50
strikers at that mine to-day were In at
tendance He organized branch OF the
United Mine Workers OF America, with
200 members. and they will hereafter
hold meetings at 10 o'clock every MORN
ing. Tomorrow night Debs speaks ut
Rlyervllle and the next evening at Wat
son. and as he has chosen the evening TO
make his addresses It IL supposed he does
not expect the men to come out before
Thursday or Friday. Indeed in his
speech to-day he said in FIVE days the
great miners strike would be settled. Be-
sides the $50 miners who laid down their
tools at Monongah this morning, q OF the
Al men at Prlchard Joined the strikers,
However, many OF these men went to the
Chieftaln mine this evening. which 10
controlled by the same party and re-
ceived employment. 1t Is predicted by
some that the Monongah men Will go
back to work tomorrow. but that is not
the prevailing idea.
A miner tonight said they would not
go back until the great strike Is over,
and the truthfulness Of his words are in
evidence when It Is stated that the men
were offered fifty cents ton this morn
Ing II they would remain In, but refused.
whether the men In the remainder of the
region will lay down their picks is a
question. The men In almost all OF the
other mines are apparently contented,
but were very enthusiastic at the meet
Ing held here tonight Ex-Governor A.
y. Fleming said tonight that the men at
West Fairmont would not 30 out He
says II the men strike and the Pennsyi-
yania and Ohio miners get the rate they
are striking for. It will not aid the miner
or the operator In this region. His rea-
son for this statement Is that the freight
rates being more will keep the wages OF
the miner down. At West Fairmont six
~ gondolas are being loaded each day
with coal besides the coallng of the
trains, and as the men know the exact

An effort was made to secure an
agreement for a vote. Mr.. Bailey said
the minority desired three days, but
knowing they could not obtain them
would be satisfied with two.
Alr. Dlngley refused to agree TO this,
saying. talk at this time Is very cxpen-

Not so expensive as the ten days you

When asked in the House of
Commons the other day why the
British government had bought
7,7Oe tons of rails for the East
Indian Railroad of an American
firm, Lord George Hamilton ex-
planned that the American bid was
something over s43, 900 less than
the lowest British bid. This trans
action shows that we can furnish
steel rails in the open market at IS
a ton cheaper than the English
manufacturers can furnish them,
yet the Dingley bill provides $7.s4
a ton protection for American rails,
which tax the manufacturers will
collect when our own railroads are
compelled to buy new rails to re-
place old ones. In other words
foreigners can buy American rails
at much lower price than our
home peopel can get, and this is
merely one of the many injustices
ofthe protective tariff system which
iustiies the charge that it is legal
lied robbery.-Daily States.

A Cure For Blight.

A Mr.. Russell, of Orange, Texas,
according to the Orange Leader,
had pear tree which was afflicted
with blight three years ago. See
ing that the tree would die anyway
if left alone, Mr.. Russell decided
to try an experiment on it which If
it failed, would do no harm, and
which, if it succeeded, would be
we'll worth the trouble. He Sc
cured an anger and bored hole in
the trunk of the tree about three
feet from the ground. This hole
he stuffed full Of sulphur and then
plugged up the hole, making it air
tight. Much to his qualification,
the tree began at once to take ON
life and put on new growth, and
last year bore a barrel or more of
fine pears. 1t continued to thrive,
and this year is loaded down with
rs nice pears as can be found any
where, and the blight has disap-
peared. Mr.. Russell Is highly
gratified with the result of his ex-
pertinent and recommends this
treatment to all who have pear
trees afflicted with the blight. The
sulphur in the tree has no effect
on the favor of the fruit, which
Is as rich and pleasant as ever.
While pears do exceptionally we'll
in this section, it is hard to keep
them from blighting after they
have borne a few years, but Mr..
Russell's experiment having been
successful, perhaps others will try
it and thus counterfeit the effects
of the blight, which is so destruc-
tive.

An interesting ssrecord' was es-
tablished in Scotland the other
day, showing the shortest time in
which wool could be taken from
the back of the sheep and made in
to suit of clothes to be z hours
and 65 minutes. The wool was
secured, dyed, carded and spun in
g hours and 90 minutes, the warp
ing, weaving, milling and finishing
occupied 3 hours and Is minutes,
and the cutting and making up
consumed 2 hours and 90 minutes.
The suit was worn on the after
