RATCHFORD SATISFIED.

Washington, Sept. PIN. d. Ratch-
for, president of the Mine Workers of
America, who is here to attend spe-
cial meeting of officers of the Fedora
ton of Labor, gave out the following
statement today:
To-day will see about 10000 miners
resume work in the bituminous coal
fields of the central states. The strike
generally ends today. | am well sat
isfied with the agreement reached
and feel it's the greatest victory gain
ed by trades unions for years. OF
course the victory is not altogether
one of the miners. While they have
done the striking trades unions and
organized bodies have supplied the
necessaries without which the miners
could not possibly have succeeded"

CouIdn't Kin This Cat.

This is the sort of story some people
tell: The insurance agent was removed
up the country to higher berth; every
thing was arranged for the removal ex-
cept the cat. His wife, not wishing to
take the animal with them, was quite
at loss what to do; she would not give
her away, being afraid the animal
would not have good home. At last
she decided to have her destroyed.
When the good lady's husband returned
in the evening he fastened brick round
the cats neck and put her into bucket
of water. When he went to take her
out next morning to bury her, much to
his surprise the cat was still alive; she
had drunk al 1.-The water and was sitting
on the brick.

DONKEY, DOG AND GOAT.
The Three Great Sights of n Trans
continental Journey.

The Three Great Sights of n Trans
continental Journey.
"The three oldest things that L ever
saw outside of New York." said New
Yorker who had gone overland to Den
YER and returned by water by way of
Galveston, were donkey, dog and a
goat. The donkey had the native pow
er of the single bob-tail car that goes
up the hill on South Broadway, Denver.
He was an amusing fellow. After
made my first trip up that steep hill,
I was astonished to see the conductor
unhitch the donkey and put him aboard
the car. The dashboard was fitted up
as a sort of stall, and he stood there
sideways, when the car started back
down the hill under its own impetus.
The donkey's face took on delighted
expression as he found himself in the
role of passenger. He really seemed to
be grinning at the conductor and the
passengers.
| saw the dog as was about to enter
the Tabor opera house in Denver. The
dog was called Bill, and he was part
of the outfit of cigar store in the opera
house building. He was black SPAN
iel. He was rugged up in zouave trou-
sers and jacket trimmed with gold
braid, and had tasseled fez on his
head, and spectacles on his nose. The
oldest thing about him was that he sat
on his launches, with his paws in the
air, actually smoking cigarette like
confirmed cigarette fiend. I found that
he had been trained to smoke the Gig
arettes while the audience was going
into the theater as an advertisement of
his owners business. That was the
first time had ever seen dog smoking.
81 made the acquaintance of the goat
in a tobacco factory in Key West. There
were 200 Cuban girls there, nearly all
of them pretty and all of them smokers
or chewers of tobacco. The goat was
their particular pet. He was the biggest
goat ever saw, almost as large as
Shetland pony, with big branching
horns and perfectly tame. He playfully
butted the girls or pranced around
among them. His best trick, however,
was the larceny of their dinner baskets.
nc useu W 90 uoSInS dIounu uuldl nc
found a particularly choice luncheon.
He would knock over the basket, seize
the lunch and dash out doors with it.
No amount of chastisement had ever
broken him of the trick. OF course
saw wonderful scenery in the journey,
but the donkey and the dog and the
goat were by long odds the most inter,
csting living things that 1 encoun-
tered."-N. Y. Sun.

NORwAY'S VOTING LAW.
1t Is the Most Liberal of Any Coun-
try I'm the World.

The odelsthing, the Norwegian equiv
alent of a lower house, has passed the
bill granting the right of franchise to
Norwegian citizens temporarily resid-
ing abroad. If the lagthing indorses
this action Norway will enjoy the dis
tinction of having the most liberal vot-
ing laws of any country in the world.
Although the bill has in view chiefly
Norwegian sailors, its provisions are
not restricted to this class, as was
at first supposed.
Its main features are as follows: The
voter must first prove that he has not
been away from Norway longer than
three years before the election day, and
the ballot must not be cast longer than
three months before the election. The
ballot need not contain the names of
the candidates, but must not be cast
longer than three months before the
election. The ballot must be made Out
in the name of the party.
By all but members OF crews of Nor
wegian ships the voting must be in the
presence of the local Norwegian con.
sui, the excepted class voting on board
ship before the captain. This would
seem to exclude all Norwegian sailors
on foreign vessels who are unable to
appear before a consuEwithin the pre-.
scribed time. 1t is not at all certain
the bill will pass the upper house, as
considerable opposition has arisen be
cause of the increased facilities fol
fraudulent voting offered by it.-N. Y

who, with Frank Crydo and Gus Wag-

City. went to the scene of the latest ex-

cording TO Mr.. Saportds, the route Is
passable and not very difficult until
within fve miles OF the find. The last
five miles present obstacles that would
forever discourage any ore not an ex-
perienced prospector and mountaineer
There is in Mount Baker and IT'S sur
rounding heights enough gold, says
Mr.. Saportas. to keep prospectors
busy for the next ten years.
In samples Of ore that were brought
back by the informant Mr. Bogardus,
the assayer by a cursory inspection
declared that free gold existed in ex-
ceedingy good quantities.

Tomohoy (Tomboy), and they all re-
iterated stories concerning a great
strike of $4,000 to the ton made in
Bear mountain, in Tomohoy. and SOW

A special correspondent of The Even

THE gold discoveries in the noun
tains Of Whatcom county are beyond
any doubt the richest In the annals of
the Pacific coast or even in Alaska.
So say the most experienced prospectors
whom / have accompanied to the scene
of the recent nnds"
The recent find Is in Bald mountain
situated I'm the northeast portion OF
Whatcom county, northeast of Baker
mountain. The mineral range runs
northwest and southeast and today is
located for 80 miles. There is no telling
how much farther II extends.
The vein is in FIVE claims. Lone Jack
Bennie, Sidney Lulu and Whist. anc
IL varies from 3 TO 5 feet in thick
ness. 1t runs under a layer Of porphyry
ledge i'm serpentine manner, and au-
riferous shale appears in the ledge. Il
IS free milling quartz Of sugar and rose
color. carrying copper and silver. Th'
vein can be traced half mile. Th'
cropping IS under solid porphyry.
The gold is known as wire gold" anC
can be seen with the naked eye anC
picked out with the fingers. That grea
quantities of IL exist there is no doubt
