The Rev. Miles Grant, of Boston,
has created considerable comment by
his assertion that eighty-seven and a
half cents a week, or $40. so a year is
sufficient to feed a healthy, grown
man. Mr.. Grant defends his theory
by saying: SIN relation to the
healthy qOantity' of food, l became
satisfied that most people ate too
much. When came to decide on the
quantity that my system needed, l
first let my appetite decide; but it
soon occurred to my mind that my ap-
petite had neither reason nor iudg.
ment, and, therefore, was not compe-
tent to direct in the matter. The late
DR.. Do Lewis, of Boston, gave me a
very valuable rule on this subject,
which was, to decide on the quantity
before the mouthful is taken. After
weighing and measuring my food, and
noting the effect upon my stomach,
arrived at the quantity and quality OF
food adapted to a healthy system. /
found that when followed that my
stomach made no more complaint
about its work than did my eyes when
seeing, ears when hearing or heart or
lungs when breathing. 1 have not
had the sick headache once in forty
Eve years"

for counterieiting in different phases.
or this number SOS we're for passing
counterfeit coins. The Government
officers dnring the year captured no
less than $3.50 in counterfeit bills,
together with a large amount of coin.
The failure Of the Government to sup
press counterleiting Is due rather to
the increasing skill and ingenuity Of
counterieiters than TO any lack of Wig
ilance on the part OF the officers. IN
less some new system is devised there
seems 20 be no possible escape from
the wiles of the counterfeiter.

According to the New England
Homestead, the terms of the settle.
ment of the conflict between Protest
ants and Roman Catholics in Manitoba
over the teaching of religion in the
public schools, are substantially as
follows: Religious teaching shall be
conducted in a public school where a
majority of the trustees authorize it
or certain number of persons petit
tion for it. A Roman Catholic teacher
is to be employed in a school having
certain number of Roman Catholic
children, if the parents OF these chill
dren SO petition. In schools where
there is not room to separate Catholic
and Protestant children during the
daily half.hour of Catholic instruction,
the Catholic teaching shall be gwen
half of the month and the Protestant
the other half. This arrangement is
q concession on the part of the Pro-
testunts, who are largely in the ma
jOrity in Manitoba.

Windows were broken and the noise aroused the officers of the secret service in the ad- joining room, who pushed to the scene, but did not fire on the crowd, fearing they might kill some of the police in- side.

 Over twenty arrests were made, and all were locked up incommunicado, and have not been released, pending strict inquiry which is to be made.
 The question has naturally arisen why the officers guarding Arroyo did not car ny their revolvers, but it is explained that they had nothing to fear of the prisoner, who was quite helpless.
 The body of Arroyo had been dragged to the balcony with the evident purpose of throwing 1t into the street. Arroyo's arms were badly cut, as he had evident ly struggled with his murderers.
 When the tumult had subsided the body was taken to the Fourth police sta- tion, where an examination was made, showing a great gaping wound in the left lung, a deep wound in the left side, one on the right shoulder and others on the arms and feet. There were nine wounds in all.
 One of the gendarmes was wounded in the fight with the mob. Capt. Sam chez suffered contusions from being trampled on.

And Att o- Men When They Resume 0pera- tq z Flat of the Saber to Be Used
 2 Against Them-Mas Meeting fA to Be Held Tonight.

f12. zelton, Pa. Sept. 1.-The strike situation may be summarized thus:
 Over 10000 men are stil out with no apparent prospects of settlement; sporadiae attempts at violence are oc- curing near the outlying districts and the withdrawal of troops is not only without consideration, but the guard constantly strengthened, and the wis., dom of bringing more cavalry is bsing discussed. It was said today that if the soldiers are kept here much longer the Sheridan troop, of Tyrone, attached to the Second brigade, would be ordered out.
 captain of Gan. Gobir1s staff is au- thority for the statement that an un- easy feeling prevails at headquarters in consequence of the little outbreaks of they hold of the underlying disturbance. The brigade comma nder admitted today that the action of the women was giv- ing him much perplexity. He does nct care to use force against them, and has instructed the soldiers in case of neces- slty to use only the flats of their sabers upon the Amszons. The general has been informed that many men were in the attacking columns yesterday and to- day disguised as women Today's d!s- exact repetition of those of yesterday. It resulted from an attempt to start the co.lieries of ha Lehigh company. About 100 men reported at one coll,ery when a wild band of women swooped down on them with an armament of sticks and stones. Other men were stationed upon the top of an adjacent culm bank, whence they showered missiles upon the would-be workers, and large body of men and boys waited in reserve behind the bank The mah promptly quit work before any injury cou,d be inflicted At the Star washery, where 100 of the 135 men wanted to work, like assault stop- ped them.
 Late last night another territory was turbulent. A body of strikers at Lati- Ht and bloodshed was threatened, when Company c, of the Thirteenth regiment, which is camped at Latimer.f restored quiet.
 Deputy Coroner Browning will begin the investigation over the bodies of the dead miners next Wednesday afternoon. Over 100 miners will be examined. Gen. Gobin will not interfere with tomorrow nights big mass demonstration unless highly colored speeches are made. The principal speakers are to be P. J. Ma guire, ce-president of the American Federation of Labor, and George Chance of the United Labor league. As a pre- cautionary measure a guard of soldiers will be present. Organizer Fahey and other leaders have asked that the mill- tia be withdrawn, and Gen. Goblin has advised them that the speediest way of accomplishing this would be to stop holding mass meetings and thereby ex- citing the people.
 The only change In the strike situation today was the return to work of 500 men employed at Coxe's Beaver Meadow colliery. The miners say that this is only temporary and that if the other Coxe men at Drifton and elsewhere de- eide at their meeting next Monday to go out the Beaver Meadow men will join them,
