COAL MINERS STRIKE
STARVING COAL MINERS IN PITTS
BURG DISTRICT STRIKE.
Believe Increased Demand for Coal
mn Opportune Time to De-
maRd Justice.

Pittsburg. July 5.--Industrial cults are
much excited over the developments III
the situation among several important
trades. On the verge of the declaration
of the coal miners of the Pittsburg dis
trict to take the lead in the general slis-
pension of the coal mining industry,
came the concession of the Tin Plate
Manufacturers Association to the ANAL
gamated Association of Iron and Steel
Workers. The miners officials here say
that idleness will prevail in the major
ity of all the rail and river mines in the
Pittsburg district. They claim that the
struggle for higher wages will be of short
duration, and that by reason of the great
demand for coal, the late trade at this
season of the year, they will be granted
an'adyance before the operators lose largo
contracts for future delivery of coal. The
miners officials claim that conservative
estimate fixes the number Of men who
will strike in Pennsylvania, West vir-
ginia, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois at 20O,-
600 They hope to increase this number
as the strike grows.
The tin plate workers are jubilant
over the concessions adopted by the
manufacturers. 1t is estimated that
5000 skilled workmen will resume Tues
aay morning. Nearly all the tin plate
manufacturers in the Pittsburg district
have orders enough to keep their plants
running for the next two months.
stopped Work Yesterday.
The coal miners of the Pittsburg dis
trict delegate convention here Saturday
decided unanimously to comply with the
order of the national executive board to
strike, and all the union miners in the
district laid down their tools yesterday
morning and entered upon struggle for
better wages, which promises to be one
of the longest and most bitterly contest
ed fights ever known in the labor world.
The delegates to the convention left
for their homes full of strike sentiment,
each man promising complete suspen-
sion of work in the mines he represented.
The miners officials have completed
arrangements for series of mass meet
ings to be held throughout the entire
district, and it is believed that the effect
will be to bring out every digger in the
district, those who are under iroHclad
agreements as well as Others.

rakinp Care of the Teetb.

If your dentist Is honest-and most
of them are-he will tell you that II
people would only exercise ordinary
care they would materially reduce his
Income and that of others in the same
profession. The dentist should be Wis
tied about once every three months. In
this way the teeth can be kept in good
condition, because the dentist Is able
to detect the first sign Of trouble and
may take measures to prevent its 60
ing too far.
When tooth begins to decay it not
only affects itself. but the teeth that
are next to 1t, and it also affects the
breath in the most unpleasant manner.
1t also causes indigestion. The best
way to prevent this decay is to see that
no food is allowed to lodge between the
teeth. You should not only brush your
teeth thrice day, but after every meal
Brush them from the gums to the
crown of the tooth; in this way the par
ticles of food that are lodged between
the teeth will be dislodged. If the teeth
are only brushed lengthwise, as is gen.
orally the case, the food, instead of be-
ing brushed out, will be more firmly
lodged than ever. You should keep q
skein of dental silk always beside you
to pass between the teeth and clean
them effectively from anything that
has got between them which the tooth
brush canot reach. Great care must be
taken of the gums, as if these become
teeth and leave the roots exposed, and
decay sets in very rapidly in conse-
quence. If the gums are kept in proper
order the teeth will remain healthy and
in good condition.

Latest in Dress Sleeves.

The first of these three new sleeves
has very high cuff, slashed with chif-
fon plating let in the slashes. Above
this there is a small, plated puff Of
silk, and over this an epaulet of cloth
of the same material as the dress,
whatever it may be. The second is
what is called coat sleeve, perfectly
plain, the only trimming being broad
binding on each seam; the binding
broadens out and is cut into epaulets
slashed to form a sort of rever mt the
shoulder. This is very popular upon
tailor-made dresses. The third is soft
silk sleeve; this is suitable for India or
any other light summer silk. The
sleeve is in small gathers all the way
up to the shoulders, where it has one
big puff, below which lace ruf1le falls.
A pretty appearance is given by pulling
a strip Of silk out through the sleeve in

LITTLE sREEcHEs.~
fohn Hay Said to Have Written II az
q BurlesQue.

1ohn Hay Said to Have Written It az
q Burlesque.
Much has been said and written
about John Hays famous poem, Lit
tie Breeches," but A. L. Williams, Of
Topeka, Kan. who was acquainted
with Hay, has given some history Of
the poem which Is entirely new. A
Topeka paper recently published the
poem, Little Breeches,' treating at as
a serious contribution to serious liter
allure, which brought the following
statement from Mr.. Williams:
"The fact is, the poem little Breech-
es' and its reception by the American
people make it one Of the most humor-
GUS features of this day. 1t was writ
ten as a burlesque, and for no other
purpose. Bret Harte had inaugurated
a maudlin literature at time when
the litery' people of the United States
were affected with hysteria. Under
the inspiration of his genius, to be good
was commonplace, to be yirtuous was
stupid-only gamblers, murderers and
women Of i'll fame were heroic. Crime
had reached its apotheosis. John Hay
believed that ridicule would help cure
this hysteria, and thus believing, wrote
the burlesque, Little Breeches.' Want
ing to make the burlesque so broad
that the commonest intellect could
grasp 1t, he took for his hero an I'M
speakably wretched brat whom no an
gel would touch unless to drop over the
walls into Tophet, and made him the
object Of special angelic miracle.
John actually labored to attach as
many vices to that brat as 1t was posi-
BILE for 4-year-old to possess. To
make a complete picture of him he
makes his father describe him as
+" Pert and clipper and sassy,
Always ready to swear and fight,
And I'd larnt him to chaw terbacker
Jest to make his milk teeth white
Out of regard for this beautiful
brat and his still more brutal father, an
angel takes the little chap up in a
snowstorm and carries him to a safe
place.
We'll John sprung his Little
Breaches and then sat back with his
~ANOoeAA "AoC OPNh " JOiAA ia tltC ugh
which he thought 1t would evoke from
his readers. To his intense astonish-
ment, people took it seriously, and in
stead of laughing Bret Harte out of
the field, Immediately made John Hay
formidable rival to that gentleman.
Hay was chagrined at the failure of
his little joke, but, being thrifty fell
low, and seeing that people would
have this kind of stuff and would SWIVEL
over such heroes, proceeded to write a
number Of other dialect poems Of the
same character, none Of which, how
ever, take rank with Little Breeches,'
for the simple reason that they were
written seriously, and not, as in the
first case, purely in fun kansas City

ARE in FULL WAR PAINT
INDIANS HOLDING a DANCE ON
CANVAS PRAIRIE.
Burning Fences, Killing Cattle and
Turning Their stock Into
Farmers Fields.

Boise, Idaho, June 30-Governor Steun-
enberg has received petition signed by
a large number of settlers on Camas pra-
irie regarding the Indian trouble. Among
other things, it says:
"The Indians seem to have no bust
ness in this prairie except to organize
a great pow-wow, and for more than a
week they have been holding continual
dance in regular war paint. Some say it
is ghost Dance some call it q grass
dance and the Indians are arriving daily
in large numbers They are a menace to
our citizens and trouble is expected every
day. 1t is therefore our desire that YOU
take such action as is within your power
to have them returned to their reserva-
lions or removed from our midst. If
something is not done speedily you may
expect serious trouble as much excitement
already prevails"
George Stowe came in from HALEY
overland. He reports having seen 200 In
dams, and says that the number is esti-
mated at from 200 to 400. Others are
joining them daily. They are burning
fences and turning their stock into the
farmers fields. In addition many cattle
are being killed by them. The settlers
told him to inform the governor that they
would expel the Indians if they were not
removed at once.
A dispatch received from the secretary
OF the interior states that he has wired
the agent at Fort Hall for full particulars
and has asked the war department to
give him all necessary assistance in pro-
tecting the lives and property of settlers
and in returning the Indians to their res
ervations.

BLEW UP A BUSINESS BLOCK.
Explosion of Dynamite I'm a Penn
sylvania Town.

Scranton, Pa, June 30.-A dynamite
explosion in South Scranton, blew up the
business block of Leon Olchofski and two
other buildings. The business block,
two-story building, was torn to pieces.
Twenty other houses had all the windows
blown out and the plaster torn from the
walls. The cause for the explosion is un,
known. Olchofski was seriously injured
in saving his wife and his recovery is
doubtful. An infant child of Michael
Joyce was dangerously injured and son
of John Klein was almost suffocated. The
loss will reach $4,000.

with gold thread.
Ruffs of chiffon lace and ribbon are

around the shoulders.
Women who have to make a special
point of combining use and beauty In
their gowns, and who for one reason or
another do not care for coats, are pleas
ed with the new open-front jackets
which are made Of lightweight fab
RIGS, with meagre lining. The frock Is
made from Yale blue canvas cloth over
black taffeta silk. The waist is without
fitted lining, the silk being cut In the

should without delay call upon his

These calls should be returned, or the
letters answered, with promptitude;
and now the general public Is Informed
OF the event. This may be done by
writing to distant friends and telling
others by word Of mouth. 1t is usual
to send a notice of the engagement to

Friends and acquaintance, ON hear

send their congratulations and good
wishes. This may either be done by
calling in person to deliver them, or by
writing. Calls of congratulation should
be returned and letters answered. A
few words Of cordial thanks are all
that is required.
During an engagement some Of the
stricter rules of chaperonage are re-
laxed. Engaged people are allowed to
ride, cycle and walk together unattend-

necessitates chaperon as well.

UNDERSTOOD BUSINESS BETTER

/" TROUGH the business women
other women are coming to I'M
= derstand more about the value OF
money. 1t has always been one of the
most cherished masculine theories that
women are entirely incapable Of un-
Outstanding anything about finance. A
father, who had hundreds Of thousands
of dollars to leave to his daughters,
would let them grow up in such abso-
lutte ignorance Of such matters that
when they came into possession of their
fortunes they did not know where
abouts on a check to sign their names.
A man harassed with business losses
will let his wife go on ignorantly spend
ing money and making bills he cannot
pay. The result has been that women
have been the victims of all sorts Of dis
honest men, who have robbed them of
their money because they had not been
taught to take care of it. The business
woman knows better, and it is largely
through her influence that it has come
to be looked upon as silly, not interest
ing, for woman not to understand the
rudiments at least of financial transac-
tions. In New York one Of the fads of
the winter among fashionable women
