MINES CLOSING.
Pennsylvania Strikers Greatly Reduce
the Plum Greek Output.
ARDMORE, MO-, MINERS OUT.
They Declare They VIII Not Again Work
for Forty Cents TOn-IndlanR
STRIKERS Marching to Close
Mines.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 4-of the
mines of the New York & Cleveland
Gas Coal Co., those at Sandy creek and
Turtle creek are now completely tied
up, and the Plum creek men are slowly
being won over. Yesterday ovef half
of the latter failed to report for work,
and to-day 90 more were induced to
quit. Others are expected to strike as
soon as they shall have cleaned up
their work. Committees are working
industriously in the houses of the
miners
The New York & Cleveland Gas Coal
Co. is making every effort to keep the
mines going. It's officers claim that
all the Plum creek miners are work
ing, while the strikers say that not
more than 40 are in the pit. The full
force of that mine is $40 men. Before
the campers came the output was from
100 to 14O cars day. This, however,
was about 40 cars above the average
when the other mines are working.
The output yesterday was 80 cars.
With 90 more men out to-day the out
put is not expected to exceed 20 cars
There are now about 1900 men in
Camp Determination and the two other
camps, and all are perfectly orderly.
So long as the weather shall be favor
able they will remain, but rain will
work great hardship, for few of them
are prepared for inclement weather.
The camp of the strikers is under strict
military discipline now and this will
be continued to the end. Edward Nc
Kay is in charge with power to make
arrest and eject all persons under the
influence of intoxicants trespassing on
the premises of the camp. The order
urgently requests all miners to respect
the law in the future as in the past,
and strictly prohibits them from tres
passing on the property of the New
York & Cleveland Gas Coal Co.
One of the notable features of the
strike has been the absence of effort
by the operators to get their miners to
work. There has been no meeting by
them to consider the situation, nor
have there been any attempts to start
mines with new men. This was ex-
planned to-day by an operator
who said he was satisfied to have
the strike continue until January,
as he had enough coal to last
him or could get it at prices which
would enable him to make profit
The lower river markets are reported
to be well stocked with Pittsburgh
coal and by reason of almost continu-
GUS navigation from January until
July large stocks have been accumulat-
ed in New Orleans, Louisville and Gin

MACON, Mo-, Aug. 4.-The 400 men
employed at the Kansas & Texas Co. g

manded raise in wages from 40 to 80
cents per ton to take effect September
1. The company made no reply to this
demand, but continued to run the
mines at their fullest capacity. The
men finally concluded that the COM
pany was filing all extra orders and
preparing to refuse to grant the in
crease demanded and yesterday they
held another meeting and notified the
company that if it did not at once
agree to grant the increase they
would strike. The company's man.
ager still made no reply and the miners
struck last night, only two voting
against going out. The Ardmore
miners declare they will not again
work for 40 cents. Superintendent

PRINCETON, Ind, Aug. 4.-Striking
miners of Daviess, Pike and Gibson

at Rodgers, Pike county, was closed
and then the strikers drove the miners,
like cattle, out of the Wooley mine at
Petersburg. The strikers intend to
close the Carbon and Ayrshire mines,
east of Oakland City, but may have
trouble at Ayrshire, as the men there
are determined to work.

ing all the miners to come out An
agreement was reached whereby no
coal should be mined for any purpose
whatever until the present mining
troubles should be settled.

A Novel Barometer,

1t has taken clever Frenchman to dis
cover n kind of barometer which may be
safely called unique. An English journal
says that IL is nothing more nor less than
the figure of a general made of ginger
Dread lie buys one every year and takes
It home and hangs it by a string on a nail.
Gingerbread, as every one knows. is
easily affected by changes in the atmos.
phere. The slightest moisture renders IL
soft, while in dry weather 1t grows hard
and tough
Every morning on going out the French
man asks his servant, what does the gen
eral say" and the man applies his thumb
TO the gingerbread figure
Perhaps he may reply: 1.-THE general
feels soft He would advise you taking an
umbrella On the other hand, if the
gingerbread is hard and unyclding to the
touch, 1t is safe to go forth in ones best
attire, Gmbrellaless and confident.
The Frenchman declares that the con.
eral has never yet proved unworthy of the
confidence placed in him, and would ad
wise all whose purse will not allow them
10 purchase barometer or aneroid. to see
what the local baker can do for them in
the gingerbread line. -Harper's Round

AN ENGLISH CORONATION.
Some Of the Ceremonies That Are Sense
less and Fantastic.

Some Of the Ceremonies That Are Sense
less and Fantastic.
From a strictly cup TO date" point O
view many of the ceremonies attendant OF
the coronation of the English sovereign
are senseless and fantastic. But embody
ing, as they do, the history or tradition o.
centuries, from the students standpoint
they are of deep interest. Mr.. u. H. Ditch
Field, in book concerning "Old English
Customs, describes some of the most re-
markable of these customs.
BY hereditary right many persons have
special dignities and duties at this time,
and preceding coronation special court
Of claims is appointed to investigate these
ancient rights and privileges.
The prerogative of the lord of the Manor
of Workshop is to present a glove and to
jupport the sovereign's arm when holding
the scepter, and also to hold the office of
chief butler, which entities him to receive
n cup Of pure gold. The ceremony of en-
throning Is called "lifting to the throne, I"
derived from the custom of our Anglo
Saxon forefathers, who, when their king
was enthroned, lifted him from the ground.
Among the curious claims of service is
that of a ceratin baron to carry the great
spurs, and of the archbishop of Canterbury
to make a mess Of pottage, called dille-
grout.
Certain offerings are made among which
are an ingot of gold and an altar pail,
composed of ten yards of gold barred,
gold frosted, lowered brocade lined with
rich sarcenet and with deep, gold fringe"
The oaken chair on which the sovereign
Is seated has been in use since the time of
Edward III, and beneath it is the corona
ton stone, which was conveyed to West
minister from Scotland by Edward l. A
wild legend declares it to be the stone on
which Jacob laid his head when he slept
at Bethel
The most solemn function Is the anoint
Ing, during which four Knights of the
Garter hold canopy over the sovereign,
while the archbishop pours the amounting
oil with spoon, which is the most ancient
of all the regalia and with which many |
sovereigns have been anointed
But the strangest survival of all is the |
claim of the Dymoke family to the office
Of kings champion. His duty is to appear
IN horseback in full armor at the royal
banquet after the coronation, accompanied
~ the earl marshal and the lord high con-
table. The champion then makes chal-
enge, according to the old time form of
words, and throws down his gauntlet. The
hallenge not being accepted, the sovereign
Kinks the health of the champion in
liver cup, which is presented to the brave
efender of English monarchy, who ther
acks his horse out of the hall.
