i4ll penna. Ave. Adj. Willara.s Hotel.

The measure of success with which DR..
Walker mas been favored remains source
OF continued surprise. The wonder OF IL
never ceases to be a topic OF conversa-
ton among his professional brethren. In
deed, that wonder increases as the time
passes, and that success. W hich some peo-
pie said would be only temporary, has
proved to be permanent and abiding, ana
continues to increase as the public be-
comes more and more familiar with the
genuine merit upon Which IL is Lused.
Many explanations are offered, varying
In rrankness according to the spirit OF
the speaker. Superior skill, experience
and training are conceded DR.. Walker,
even by his rivals, but these do not alone
account for his prosperity.
That his practice is today larger ihan
1t ever has been cannot alone be attributed
to truthful advertising nor TO nnquestion-
able and superior skill. No! The under
lying principle or all is the fact that DE-
walker has, with manliness, with dignity,
aud with truthfuiness. dealt with the
public as a prof essonal man should. prom
ising no more tnan he can perform and
claiming no more than he accompiishes.

P%1TTsBrRG, Aug. 30.-The first mines

Pittsburg Gas Coal company on the

prefers to have the old men return, and
for that reason, has decided to defer
action for 10 days.
A sufficient number of men has al.

accommodations for them, at present.
The company has taken steps 10 secure
possession Of its houses and during the
day all the tenants will be served With

PITTsBuRa, Aug. 3o.-The small coal
operators in the Pittsburg district, who
are in the majority, are in revolt against
the 'big thirteen" or lake shippers and
threaten to put their mines in operation
at the rate demanded by the miners, So
cents, next week, if the miners officials
will allow their men to return to work.
Instead of selling their product to the
''big thirteen" as heretofore, they will
forward to the different markets them
selves. Miners President Dolan said
that if the small operators could show
how they were going to sell their coal
outside of the syndicate, he would read
lily give his consent to their plans to re-
sumo work. The ''big thirteen" are
owners of the different mines where the
most bitter fight against the demands
of the miners is being made and they
practically control the coal trade in
this part of the country.

following characteristic anecdote of
Lincoln:
Once while on his way to Washing

tie time in the town of Allegheny, Pa.
Around the station a great crowd gath
cred, eager to see the new president.
They shouted and cheered until Lincoln
had to appear on the rear platform of
his car. He bowed and smiled, but the
crowd was SO noisy he did not try to
speak to them.
Very near. to the platform stood a
miner, wearing a red shirt and blue
overalls and carrying a dinner pail.
Like the rest, he had stopped hoping to
see Mr.. Lincoln. The workman was al
most a giant in size and lowered head
and shoulders above the crowd.
No doubt he had heard that Lincoln
also was very tall, and, encouraged by
the friendly face, the workman sudden
" waved his bare arm above his head
and called out:
'Hi, there, Abe Lincoln! I'm taller
than you-yes, a sight taller"
This loud speech silenced, the crowd
by its boldness, and a laugh arose. But
