STRIKE WILL SPREAD.
Every Coal Mine In Arkansas and Indian
Territory Will be Tied Up.

Fort Smith, Ark, Feb. 81
Every coal mine in Arkansas and
the Indian Territory will be closed
down next Wednesday, if the pres
ent program of the miners and
operators is adhered to, and there is
no reason to believe that any devil
alton from this program will occur.
Over 400 miners are involved,
and mines supplying a large section
of the southwest with fuel Will be
affected. a coal famine is sure to
ensue, as the supply on hand is
small and will be speedily ex-
hausted. Already railroads are
confscating every car of coal thai
comes on their tracks, and are
keeping it for their own use. Pri-
vate dealers have been notified that
they can get no more coal until the
trouble is settled. The situation is
the most alarming that has existed
in the coal region for years.

Peach Crop About Ruined.

Guthrie. Ok. Feb. 27.-Fruit
growers of the Territory generally
agree that the peach crop is about
ruined by the last freeze, and that
plums, berries and cherries are
badly damaged. Prof!~ Murrow,
president of the agricultural col
lege, says in i bulletin today.
An examination has been made
by different members of our sta
ton, in whose judgment l have
confidence, and the results are more
favorable than | expected. One
of our professors reports from per-
sonal examination yesterday even
ing twenty-five peach buds to
twelve that have been destroyed.
Much difference is found in differ
ent orchards In some cases a
larger percentage of live buds is
reported. Some apricot buds are
also alive, and the condition of the
pear and cherry are apparently the
same as that of the peach. I'm
fortunately we must bear in mind
that the vitality. of the buds and
of the new wood may have been so
reduced that the fruit may not ma
ture, even if it starts its growth !"

OUEEREST OF ALL DUELS.
One of the Most Remarkable Anal RS
of Honor Ever Placed
on Record.

Letters from Buenos Ayres give de-
tails of a remarkable duel, of which the
famous Italian fencing master, Chev
alier PM, was the hero. PM recently
opened a school of arms in the Argen-
tine republic and, having been subject
ed to some criticism by local journal
list, told the scribe In his own frank,
pleasant way what he thought of him.
Reparation was demanded and pistols
We're the weapons selected. The con-
ditions of the meeting were singular.
The adversaries were to be placed back
to back, and at the word of command
were each to take Is steps forward and
then to turn around and fire stimuli
taneously. On the ground the men
were placed as arranged and, at the
given signal, began to march forward,
one of the seconds counting the steps.
PM had only made five strides when
he heard report and the whistle of q
bullet past his ear. He turned and
saw his adversary with the smoking
pistol in his hand. PM, in a furious
rage, dropped his weapon, rushed at his
man and gave him a sound thrashing
with his fists. The seconds took sides
for their respective principals and n
general melee went forward until some
gendarmes arrived. Pini's adversary
then took TO his heels and has NOT since
been seen.

CARRIES MEALS TO WORKMEN.
HOW an Enterprising PcnnsylN
BOY Is Laying the Foundation
of Fortune.

Ihomas MintZer, 14-ycar-old lad of
Conshohocken, is probably the most
energetic youngster in Montgomery
county, says the Philadelphia Record.
Through his own devices he earns SIS
q week, and only works on an average
of six hours day. His business is meal
carrier. About three months ago Tom
my called on the employees of the differ
ent mills and offered to carry their
meals for Is cents week. AS many
of the mills are running night and day,
his offer included suppers as well as
dinners. Most of the employees were
paying 25 cents week for the same
service, and the boys offer was prompt
ly accepted. At first Tommy was able
to carry the dinners in large express
wagon, which was hauled by a goat,
but as he steadily gained customers it
became necessary to get large push
cart, which he fitted up with shelves.
His business finally increased so much
that he had to hire horse and wagon.
His customers now number 130
In order to give general satisfaction
Tommy starts out with the dinners at
II a. m, and delivers those that are
farthest away. He then makes a sec
ond collection at 11:45 o'clock and, as
these customers work in mills near
their homes, the boy managed to have
all the dinners delivered by 1905 noon.
His weekly collections average $3.50,
and as he pays $3.50 for the use of the
horse and wagon it leaves SIS clear,
which is more than some of his oldest
customers earn in the mill.

PLASTER OF PARIS.
A Process by Which the Usefulness of
the Composition May be
Enhanced.

"These plaster casts are very success
full as a rule" said lover of fine art
in the statuary gallery at the Art insti-
tute the othuy day, "but, unfortunately,
they cannot be long preserved. The
humid weather, of which we have q su-
perabundance ir GAis locality, will de-
stroy them eEc many years have
passed" This is .ae general complaint.
Recently, however, patent has been
taken out in Germany for the treat
ment of articles of plaster of paris with
an aqueous solution of ammonium
borate, for the purpose of hardening
them and rendering them insoluble in
water.
The process referred to is said to
give results decidedly superior to any
thing that has heretofore been pro-
posed. The hardening liquid may either
be mingled with the plaster in the act
of molding or may be applied on the
surface of the finished casts with q
brush.
The solution is prepared by dissolv-
ing boracic acid in warm water and
adding thereto sufficient ammonia to
form the borate, which remains in the
solution.
The manner of using the solution is
thus described: The snturatIon of the
gypsum or painting of the plaster of
paris is carried out in the cold The
objects are subsequently rinsed off and
dried. The surface becomes very hard
after two days and insoluble in water,
while the induration in the interior
advances more slowly. By means of
the fluid described gypsum floors can
be hardened and rendered more dura-
BILE and imperyious to the influence of
the weather. Saturating with ammo
MUM borate is said to be especially use
full on the exterior walls of buildings,
barracks, etc.; on the latter, because
experiments have proved an antiseptic
action of the liquid.-Chicago Chron-
icle.

SHE CARRIED THE oBELIsK.
A Once Famous Vessel That Is Now
Used as "A Sea Going
Coal Barge.

A vessel which was once q famous
steamer, but Is now a commonplace
seagoing coal barge, is in port loading
for New England port. The DessOug
was built for the khedive of Egypt in
1854 and named the Denton. At that
time she was considered one of the
fastest and most beautifully appointed
vessels afoat, and the khedive enjoyed
her immensely for awhile. But he got
tired of her and in 1879 William H.
Vanderbilt bought her to transport the
obelisk from Egypt to Central park,
New York. Lieut.. Commander Cor
ringe took command of her, having
been detailed for the purpose by the
United States government, says the
Baltimore American.
The obelisk, which weighs 1876 tons,
was far from the shore line, and buried,
besides, deep in sand. 1t was alto
gether too heavy for ordinary ma
chinery to be used, and it was carried
down on immense platforms with can
non balls under them for rollers. Then
1t was placed in a crib fixed on q pom
.toon. The pontoon and ship were lifted
in craving dry dock, head on to each
other, and when this had been accom-
plished a hole 90 feet long and 12 feet
high was cut in the starboard bow of
the boat below the water line. Through
this the great stone was rolled into the
hold of the ship on a groove having an
improvised ball-bearing attachment,
n onhA 0fn Ill
obelisk was braced along the keelson,
and stout snoring fixed about it to make
it immovable. After everything was
made shipshape and the ribs and plates
were replaced at the bow of the steamer
she finally set sail for New York on
June IL, 1880.
