Hazelton, Pa, Sept. II. Widespread as
is the strike in the Hazslton region there
has been no concerted sotioI by tee men
at the different mines Al. tho strikers
are working for the ssIn9 end-en increase
of about 10 per cen: wages-rGt thsy go

ed in about 800 men at Eckley joining
the strikers yesterday.
To a great extent tha strikers have
been restrained from opeu acts OF vio-
lence by the priests, whose influence pre-.
walls to a remarkable degree.
PRIESTS AS PEACEMAKERS.
At several turbulent meetings which
threatened to end In bloodshed, the
priests have gone among the excited
foreigners. commanding silence and fore
ing them back.
The priests, however. have no plea of
mercy.for the sheritf's deputies who shot
are active members of the committee that
is TO push the murder charges in court.
1t is now certain that no attempt VIII
be made to arrest the deputies SO long as
troops are campod at Hazelton General
Gobin's declaration that he will protect
the sheriffs men just as long as he Is in
command, has cooled the ardor OF those
who are for going about the matter
hastily.
STRIKE LEADERS ATTITUDE.
The strike leaders and their attorneys
deny the right of General Goblin to en-
force such an order: but they admit that
he has too may guns for them. District
Attorney Fell, il Is said is against an i'm
mediate serving of the warrants, though
he is interested in the prosecutions.
Several of the deputies who left the
town Immediately after the bloody affray,
are known TO be in Philadelphia and
Easton, outside of General Gobin's terri
tory.

continued their march.

look upon this action CT Mr.. Ratchtord
as a lost opportunity" for them. for now
they know they cannot settle upon any

operators into line.

"Thc Old yellow " Almanac"

When Ella Wheeler Wilcox wrote The
poem, having for title the same heading as
this article, she touched chord that VI
brated in thousands of hearts. For Ayers
Almanac, 1.-THE Old Yellow Almanac" Of
the poem, is Intimately associated with the
days and deeds Of large part OF the worlds
population. How large part OF the popu-
lation this general statement may include
can be gathered from the fact that the
yearly issue OF Ayers Almanac is from
1900, 900 to 25,000,0O0 copies. 1t is printed
In twenty-eight editions and In some
eighteen languages, including, besides Eng
lish-Spanish, Portuguese. Dutch, German,
Swedish, Danish, Norwegian. Bohemian,
Welch, Italian. French, etc. The old style
almanac is looked upon by many as a relic
OF antiquity. especially the ''patent medi-
cine almanac" whose Jokes are the butt
often of the very papers In whose columns
they first appeared. But there are almanacs
Almanac has been put out It has employed
as high class Of mathematical and astro-
nomical talent as is available In the country.
The result is that 1t stands on par, in
respect Of the reliability OF its data and the
accuracy of its calculations with the y. 8.
Nautical Almanac, and testimony to this fact
is found year after year in the letters, re-
ferred to the almanac department of the
company, from students and mathematlcians
in various parts of the world. In its per-
manence and reliability Ayers Almanac
stands as very fitting type Of the Aver
Observation-Disclosures IN the family and
reliable every day in the year. The 1897
edition Of this useful almanac Is now in
course Of distribution through the druggists
Of the country.

FORCING PLANTS BY EXPRESS.

The English gardeners used at one
tine to have term that they applied
tc high and rapid forcing of plants.
They said cucumbers, for instance,
we're raised "by express. By this,
they meant rapid forwarding OF fore
ing of plants by excessive heat and
moisture. The houses where the Gu
cumber vines were growing were kept
very warm and moist. The result was
a very rapid, tender and succulent
growth. The plants grew long, spind-
ling and watery. As plants, they were
not in a normal condition, yet they
we're reported TO give good crops.
Here is an idea for the window gard
ener, who can control the heat in her
bay window. Force your plants with
more heat than is required in an or
dinary living room. The soft wood
plants, like the geranlum, will grow
long and perhaps i'll shapen, but they
give more flowers than if kept only
moderately warm. Such forced cul-
ture means that the bay window must
be shut off from the living room. The
thingis, do you want flowers or plants
Most people will say flowers. Then
give heat, moisture and fertilizers and
things will come "by express. New
England Homestead.

What q PennywOrth of Gas Can Do.

In lecture recently delivered at
the Royal Victoria Hall, London, says
the Practical Engineer, Professor
Carlton j. Lambert stated that thirty
seven cubic feet of gas, which is
valued at one penny two cents), and
weighs about II pounds, can generate
about one pound of water when
burned, and about nineteen cubic feet
of carbolic acid. 1t can heat thirty
gallons of water from fifty degrees to
ITO degrees for bath, or it can boil
eight gallons of water in good kettles,
and make tea for sixty-four persons.
It can work one horse power gas en-
CINE for one hour, or lift weight of
eighty-eight tons ten feet high, doing
the work of six men for one hour. 1t
can melt ten pounds of iron, and make
a casting in twenty minutes. which
ordinarily would require two hours
and thirty pounds of coke. 1t can
braze metal joint in two minutes,
which would require twenty minutes
in forge. If burned in a six-inch
hue for ventilation purposes, it can
induce 1000 cubic feet of pure air.
1t can give you brilliant light (Wels-
bach incandescent) of fifty candle
power for nine hours. 1t can, in
good radiating stove, comfortably
warm a room sixteen feet square for
on hour. 1t can easily cook dinner
for eight persons.
