THE MINERS STRIKE.
The Editor of the Register.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-This general suspension or
strike Of the coal miners OF the coun-
try Is beginning to be seriously felt IN
many places and demonstrates the I'M
portance of the coal miner in the COM
mercial world Even the miner HIM
self has never realized it until now
Had there been a complete shutdown
of all the mines in the country at once
in the beginning Of this strike a set
Element would have been had ere this,
or else all the industries and railroad
engines of the country would be at
standstilI. Cities would be without
light or water, in fact, anything oper-
ated by steam or gas Except In To-
calities where there is natural gas)
would be completely paralyzed. The
United States mail would be very ma
terially affected, and for that reason
II nothing more the President and
Congress of the United States should
see that this difficulty is adjusted and
the miners put to work Immediately
This strike has taught the miners a
good lesson, and that is they are OF
much more Importance in the world
than they thought they were. We are
sorry to be compelled to cause so mucn
inconvenience, but it appears there was
no other remedy. We hope our friends
will bear with it a short time in order
that we may be enabled to gain our
rights, which Is freedom and some>
thing akin to a decent living. | do not
mean to say all operators wonid rake
advantage of his miners or use them
as tools to beat his competitor in the
market. but I am satisfied that large
majority would like to treat their min
ers fairly and see them draw good sal
aries, but are prevented from treating
them as they would wish by the cut
throat competition Of the minority, and
il by this strike remedy be found
for existing evils, the miners shall
have accomplished God send not
only for themselves but the operators
as well.
The slick methods of those unrea-
sonable, obstinate operators to cover
I'D their dirt and keep their miners at
work is brassy and inconsistent IN the
extreme. They say the miners of West
NHSIuld nave nO CducO W obiAiNS, 49,
profit by continuing to work in that
they are securing new markets for the
product of their labor, and all that
kind of stuff, when in fact large por-
ton of them are only filing the con-
tracts of other operators. as per agree
ment in order to defeat the miners, and
it is an evident fact that all those min
ers who continue to work are driving
nails in their own coffin. Newspaper
correspondents and reporters no doubt
are given the tip by the filthy lucre
sent to doctor the case for the opera
tors In a snide way. Money can buy
almost anything but good sense. We
trust our fellow craftsmen will weigh
existing circumstances carefully and
watch the conduct Of operators, stock
holders and hired methods of coal
companies and learn for themselves
in whose interest they are working.
We could go into the details and ex-
plain more fully why all miners should
cease work for time, but think
enough has been said to satisfy all
thinging people the necessity for It.

BOGG'S MINERS,
Committees f.om All Mines d This
Neighborhood Will Wait on the
Bogg's Run Men To-pay--If They
Do Not Strike the Demonstration
Will Take Place.

To-day combined effort will be made
to persuade tn Boggs' run miners TO
lay down their picks and shovels and
join the general strike, as announced
exclusively in yesterdays Rgistec. The
procession of miners has been p jstpon-
ed until another plan is tried, this
for fear of giving some offense to the

al. marching in body. committees
from each of the unions mentioned yes
terday, will go and wait to have con-
ference with the miners when they
come out of the bank after they have
finished their days work. The plan OF
action was changed at meeting OF the
various mine workers yesterday, and
this was deemed the most feasible. II
the Boggs' run miners will not listen
to the committees then the first plan
will be taken up and carried out. A
demonstration will be made that VIII
be expected to shame the working MIN
ers out. The Glendale miners are still
working, as stated yesterday, but are
not filing any orders except for the b.

The Duke of Malakhoff was at bat
tue at Strathfeldsaye and shot nothing,
much to his disgust, and when the dav
was over it appeared that he would be
extremely put out unless he was allowed
or enabled to kill something. So in
spite of all the gamekeeper could think,
feel or say pheasant was procured,
tied by its leg to the top of a post, and
Malakhoff was put some 80 yards off
with double barreled gun. 1t was
supposed that he would thereupon and
thence take two shots at the bird. Not
a bit of it. He loaded both barrels.
walked close up to the pheasant, put
the muzzle close to him and DISCHARGED
both barrels into him, with "He! CO.
quin, " The next day the Duke of Wei
lington told the keeper that Malakhoff
was great man who had smoked to
death 500 Arab men, women and chill
dren in cave, to which the gamekeep-
err replied: Like enough, your grace.
He'd be capable of anything. let

MALARlN BIBLES COME HIGH.
What They Are and Why They Are So

What They Arc and Why They Are So
CaIIed-S2O, 900 For One Copy.
At the sale of the Ashburnham library
in London a copy of the Mazarin Bible
brought the good sized sum of $40, 600.
The Mazarin Bible is so called because
a copy of it was first discovered by De
Bure in the library Of Cardinal Mazarin,
in Paris, about 1850. It's value for book
collectors lies in the fact that it is the
first book of any magnitude printed
from movable types. 1t was issued by
Gutenberg at Mainz, in 1868, and for
that reason Henry Stevens calls it the
Gutenberg Bible. 1t is divided into two
volumes, the first containing 324 and
the second 317 pages, each page consist
ing of two columns. The characters,
which are Gothic, are large and hand
some and very much resemble manu-
script. Before the discovery of this BIZ
be the so called Bamberg Bible of PITS
ter was generally regarded as the first
printed book, but that honor is now
universally accorded to the former work.
According to DIR. Austin Allibone,
lu6I6 are Sin kuONu COPIES VI lu6 A1dAd-
rim Bible on vellum, one of which is the
volume found in the Mazarin library.
The copies on vellum, however, are later
than the copies on paper, II of which
are known to be i'll existence. There is
vellum copy of the Bible in the Brit
ish museum and a paper copy in the
Lenox library of this city, The present.
value of a perfect copy of the Mazarin
Bible Oh paper is about $4,000, and
those on vellum are valued at about
$4,000. Practically, however, their
value is variable quantity, depending
on what the book collectors are willing
to give for them. 1t has long been
matter of dispute whether the types en-
ployed in printing this Bible were me-
tallic or wooden but the question is
still undecided. AS specimen Of early
printing the work is magnificent, con-
tanning richly embellished capitals in
blue, red and purple. -New York Trib

The Wy Earliest Coins.

No one knows exactly when or where
the original coin was struck" or what
metal was used. Certain passages in
Homer would lead to the inference that
brass was coined as early as the year
1854 B. G. Tradition affirms that the
Chinese had bronze coins as early as
the year 1920 B. c. But Herodotus, the
acknowledged Father of History" is
of the opinion that the Lydians lin
vented coins some time during the
ninth century B. G. One of the Oldest
coins now known is a gold dario, coined
by the Persians during the reign of
Darius. On one side of this coin is
bust of Darius and on the other side
figure of kneeling archer

SOME GOOD ADVICE

The Savannah News very senslbly
comments on the naval militia trouble.
1t is good ADVICE to both the Bruno
wick and Savannah divisions. The
News says:
Neither Savannah nor her naval
militia propose quarrelling or calling
names with Brunswick and her naval
militia. There is nothing to fall out
about, If the navy department should
think it best for the monitor to re-
main where it is, we'll aud good; Sa-
vannah would not weep over the mat
ter; her naval militia would be none
the worse off. Savannah is not trying
to take away Brunswick's monitor,
and the only steps taken in Savannah
have been IN line with the official sug
gestIOns of naval officers.
"Should the monitor be sent to this
port, it would be taken good care of,
Should it not be sent here, no tears
would be shed. 1t is only a question
of time, probably short time, when
the navy department will recognize
the merits of the Savannah naval
militia boys and give them train
ing vessel, or in some other manner
let them know they are appreciated.
"In the meantime, all hands and the
cook should keep cool and say nothing
that IS not in keeping with naval
courtesy"

the idea into her head that the bicycle
was hurrying women to sheol and
worse places, is now astride of an
other hobby. Mrs Smith-whose hus-

his personality effectually hidden
from public gaze-now asserts that
the great need Of this country is a
law TO compel bachelors to marry.
She says she is going to Boston to
start campaign against the Repu)li-
can and Democratic candidates for
mayor, as both of them are bachelors.
She does not believe that bachelor
ought to hold an elective office, be-
cause no man could possibly act on

was married. She is preparing PAM

show that if bachelors were compelled
