AS is it's annual custom, the John
Mitchell club last night fittingly COM
memorated the anniversary of Robert
Emmet. Ireland's revered young hero
and martyr. The exercises occurred
at the Academy of Music and were at
tended by an audience that filled the.
house.
American and Irish flags were inter-
twined all about the stage, bespeak-
ing, as was the intent, the sympathy
of America for the oppressed Green
Isle and the devotion of the Irishman
for the country where he found that
without which he cannpt rest-liberty.
C. Il. Boland was chairman of the
evening and Attorney NJ. f. Conry
made the commemorative speech. 1t
was an eloquent effort and evoked
round after round of applause from
his auditors. One reference that was
received in a particularly demonetra-
tive manner was as to where the Irish
American would be found if the pres
ent imminent crisis should call for a
repetition % the services which made
him famed in the history of American
wars

II. R. MCPHERSON HERE.
General Manager of the Mexican Cen
trail in Topeka

H. R. Nickerson, general manager of
the Mexican Central railroad, in COM
pany with Mrs. NickersOn is in Topeka
today. Mr.. Nickerson is on his way to
Chicago on a business trip of perhaps
three weeks duration. He had occa-
sion to stop in Topeka for a day and is
the guest of Mr.. W. A. L. Thompson
and Mr.. John Player He is travelling
in his private car.
The health of Mr.. Nickerson has been
poorly for some time. He states that
he feels much improved in the last few
days but looks like man that has been
overworked and subjected to too many
business cares.
THE affairs of the Mexican Central
are in a prosperous condition now, said
Mr.. Nickerson, ''and the road is doing
an immense business in freight and
passenger traffic We are reaching out
continually after new feeders. But the
big enterprise we are engaged in now
is the preparation for a new line to the
coast. I will run from Guadalajara to
ManZanillo and give them 8 direct line
to the coast.
''ManzaniIlo is splendid seaport city
having a deep sea harbOr to accommo-
date the steamers of the world.
There is no finer climate than Mex
leo in the world" concluded Mr.. Nick
erson, q sleep under blankets the year
around and yet it is never cold.''

800 STRIKE.
Miners at Yale Shafts Of the
Western Coal Co., at Pitts
burg, Pa, Quit Work.

Pittsburg. Oct. 1s.-About three hundred
miners at Yale employed by the Western
Coal company have gone out on strike.
The company has established by Gus
tom two pay days each month, and the
miners are much interested in their fire.
Quency and regularity, as it enables the
employe to trade less at the company
store when he has the cash and may trade
in the most available and better markets
of PittSburg.
on Saturday last the miners expected
their wages, the company having fixed
upon the 10th and 25th of the month for
pay days or upon the Saturday nearest
those dates.
When the company failed on Saturday
the Sth and on Monday the 10th to pay up,
the miners became dissatisfied and resolv-
ed to quit work.
The real cause of the strike is not so
much the difference of "A or 4S hours in
the time of receiving payment as it is in
the belief that exists among the miners
to abandon its custom of paying twice a
month and again revert to the old plan of
paying only once a month.
To go without their pay for a month
forces the miners to trade more at the
company store and this the men do not
consider money saver for them.
The labor commissioners reports and the
mine inspectors reports show that the
erage wages of the miner is 81 "a per day,
but they also show that he only works in
this county an average of 140 days in the
year. Hence he must necessarily econo-
nize his earnings to pull through the
period of no earnings, the period of 160
days in the year in which he finds no
employment.
