A Large Relief Fund Sub
scribed at Lebanon.
AID Will COME NONE TOO SOON
Thirty Thousand Men, Women and
Children Are Reported Starv-
ing in the State.

DENVER, Aug. 30.-A special to the
News from Lebanon, Ind. Gays:
An immense meeting was held last
night at the opera house in behalf of the
starving coal miners IN Indiana. Thomas
J. Terhune made a statement of the
condition of the miners as he found it
while making his investigation as Gov
ernor Mounts special commissioner.
He said:
"There are 5000 families in this state
in destitution. Thirty thousand people
who are literally starving. A few years
ago they received $1.25 per ton; now the
average price paid is about 35 cents per
ton. A good miner can make 81 day
and is allowed to work two or three
days each week. They are compelled to
trade at company stores and the prices
they pay are left entirely to the mine
operators. The miners admit that they
cannot liye upon the present scale of
wages"
A large subscription to the relief fund
was raised.
E. V. Debs left Terra Haute for st.
Louis last night to attend the confer
ence called by the national executive
board of United Mineworkers. He says
there has been remarkable change in
public sentiment on the injunction ques-
tion; that whereas three years ago there
was hardly any dissent from the course
of judges who were issuing restraining
orders against the strikers, the prepon-
derance of sentiment now is in opposi-
ton.

No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to give
away. a bottle of their Digestive Cordial
to any one who might call at their New
York Office, there was great rush and
great many people thought they were
crazy.
Subsequent events proved to have
been very clever advertising transac-
ton, for although they gave away
thousands of bottles, 1t was in the end
profitable; nearly every one that took a
free bottle came back for more and paid
for it with pleasure, saying they had de-
rived better results from its use than
from any other medicine they had ever
used.
There is nothing so uniformly success
| full in the treatment of stomach troubles
as the Shaker Digestive Cordial, and

once.

Legislation Looking to It's Adoption Il
Pending.

Pend1ng'
New YeRK, Aug. 30.-A dispatch to
to the Herald from Lima, Peru, says:
Ell Commerce. says editorially that
the financial measures recently submit
ted to and now pending in the Peruvian
congress. will, without doubt, tend to
the adoption of the gold standard in
Peru. The result Ell Commerce. further
says, will not be brought about without
monetary crisis more or less intense.
The gold standard, in the opinion of
the paper, was the only remedy for Pc
rus present financial straits, and such a
change would be productive of perma-
nent good. In the meantime, business
in Peru is practically at standstilI, the
markets are almost in a state of panic.

WANTS THE GOLD. STANDARD.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-05-29

The number of newspapers, strictly
so called, published weekly in Great
Britain and containing serial stories of
one kind or another Is nearly 800. OF
these 500 are published In England
and Wales 113 in Scotland, and so in
ireland. out of this total 1t has been
ascertained that in the year 1898 no
fewer than 240 published complete, or
portions Of detective stories-stories of
all phases and forms of criminality, de-
scriblng the details thereof with great
er or less degrees of minuteness; here
making the criminal a sort of Claude
Duval, or highway hero worthy of en-
ulation, and there rightly branding
him as an iniquitous scoundrel, fit only
for the clutch of Jack Ketch. but al
most invariably depicting the hideous-
ness of crime as 1t certainly ought not
to be depicted. Many such weekly
newspapers as are published in popu-
lous centers have long ago recognized
the Importance of this factor in help
ing to increase their circulation, and
they can not be blamed for it.
But 1t Is a somewhat remarkable fact
which the inquiry into this phase of
the subject has made evident, that in
newspapers of the class indicated
which are published in Ireland the gen.
eral character of the serial stories was,
and like enough still is. much above
that of the stories published in the
same place in English or Scottish
newspapers. On an average, there are
fewer by far that make the same lit
erary speciality, in story or expert
ence" form, of the subject of crime
and its detection. In the light of the
past, or even of present, events in Ire
land, this evidence may be taken for
what it is worth; but it is none the
less a significant fact deserving of a
little consideration by those whom It
happen to concern.

more VIII olesome,
more beautiful, more completely pleasing
than a womanly woman? Such a woman
is even tempered, intelligent, strong and
healthy. Health really tells the whole
story. Health means strong nerves and
strong body, and they go far toward
bringing good looks and amiability.
A woman worn and wearied by the
dragging weaknesses peculiar to her sex,
cannot be expected to find zest in any
duty or amusement. Life is all one dead
monotonous gloom to her. On her face
is written the story of weakness and pain.
The wholesomeness of health is lacking.
The cheeks lack fullness, the eyes lack
sparkle, the hair lacks luster.
Doctors have learned to locate nine
tenths of womanly sickness in the orgai J
that ought above all others to be strong
and healthy.
Sensitive women shudder at the
thought of consulting physician on
such matters. A natural feeling of mod
esty makes them dread the examination,
and subsequent stereotyped treatment by
"local applications" on which most
doctors insist.
Much more often than not, this is un-
necessary. 1t should not be submitted
to except as a last resort.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
cured thousands of severe cases of "fe-
male weakness" It works in natural,
sensible way. 1t begins by subduing the
inflammation that is always present.
Then it strengthens and invigorates the
whole body, particularly the organs dis
tinctly feminine. 1t promotes regularity,
cures inflammation and liberation, and
stops the 'debilitating drain caused by
them. OF all dealers.

rom the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News.
A wild flame burst forth and reached
in famished writings toward the sullen
heavens.
Sulphurous polsons arose in silent, suf-
locating pals. A fateful glare of ochro-
tint light flashed. Binding, sickening,
vague terrors danced in frenzied rhythm
with the weird diablerie of the flames
garish, ghastly fire flared in fitful blaze
low, passioned murmurings resounded in
ceaseless drumming and blue flames,
thrashing wild in wrathful agonies, sung
in chorused, crimsoned harmonies a
tuneful deathsong.
Wild cries rang out; white figures ran
into the night and the maligant, pursu-
ing blaze, reaching out hungrily, cracked
and roared, shriekcd and hissed aloud in
ferocious glee.
"Ah, me-" said the man.
But just then three-inch stream of icy
water from a seventeen-horse-pow en-
gine of the crack fire department COM
pany lifted him across the street and
left him frozen against the fence with
n wild yell chasing up and down his
throat.

ent archbishop, have given French
names. But the pagan shaman also
chrlstens the babe. Facing the east
in the morning twilight, he awaits
the moment when the sun shall peep
over the Taos Mountains, towering
$4,000 feet above the sea, when he be-
slows on the infant a native name
by which he is known among his inti-
mates. These people are divided into
clans designated as eagle, corn, etc,
and members of the same clan are
not permitted to lnter-marry. The
fields and the products of the chase
belong to the husband. The house
and the children belong to the wife.
The crops are the husbands until
they are housed, when they become
the wife's. She grinds the corn and
wheat between stones, and this rude
mill Is known as a metate.
CITIZENS OF THE UNITED
STATES.
The courts have decided that the
pyramid dwellers are citizens of the
United States under the treaty of
Hidalgo Guadalupe, by which the
southwest was acquired from Mexico,
but they do not want to be citizens
and the government has scarcely
treated them as such. The grant of
six square miles of the fertile, we'll
watered valley of Taos made by the
Spaniards more than a hundred
years ago has been confirmed by
Uncle Sam, and the people support
themselves by farming. They do
much of their plowlng with sticks
dragged through the soft soil by
ponies. The chief crops are corn and
wheat. The wheat is trashed, as in
biblical times, by ponies tramping
out the grain. 1t is winnowed by
throwing it into the air with a pitch
fork on a windy day. The grain is
then separated from the heavier straw
by running it through a sieve made of
sheep skin punched full of holes and
stretched on a wooden frame In
this process considerable dirt in the
creases of the kernals, and the wheat
has to be washed to be cleaned, though
many persons think that too finicky.
Many years ago the people of the
pyramids invited some Mexican neigh
bors to become their allies against the
rowing Indian enemies. The MeXicanS
were given a corner of the grant on
| condition that they should keep
twelve blunderbuses and help the
natives when attacked. These abort
gines proved themselves a brave race
in several rebellions against the Span
ish yoke. When the MeXicans arose in
| 184S and massached a. number of
Americans they dragged the natives
| into the affair." claiming that under
| the old treaty the red men of the
pyramids were obliged to help the
| MeXicans fight their enemies, but
since then these alborigines have
| given Uncle Sam no trouble. Within
the mud walls which once inclosed
their buildings are the ruins of a big
church to constantly remind them OF

METHOD OF GOVERNMENT.

The married men of the pyramid
community elect a set of officers once
a year. There are a governor, a lieu
tenant governor, an alcalde, a war
captain and several assistants. The
inauguration takes place on New
Years Day in the church. The old
officers gather on one side of the
room and the new officers on the other.
They march in single file toward the
altar, and, as they meet, the old COB
ernador passes to his successor n sill
ver-headed ebony cane, presented to
the pueblo by Abraham Lincoln in
1863 Common wands are transferred
by the other retiring officers. The new
officers generally insist also on taking
an oath before the county judge, al
though he has no authority in the
matter. The natives imagine that
their action is ratified thereby by
the government of the United States.
They also have a cacique, who is here
ditary, and holds his position for life.
He is the head of the system of pagan
religion, while the governor is the
head of civil affairs, but so great Is
the reverence of the people for the
cacique that in any controversy his
will is practically law as against the
rule of the gobernador.
The pyramid ask no help of Uncle
Sam, and he does not interfere in theil
internal affairs. They have acuired q
community title to their farms and
transfer these among themselves. They
