Apropos of the question as to
whether or not women should remove
their hats in church, Lexington man
suggests a return to the good old Gus

side and the women on the other. SIN

the full benefit of their big hats. Ladies
who remove their hats out of courtesy
to those who sit behind them would, OF
course, sit where they choose. The
others could get the full benefit of at
tempting to see the preacher through a

The Berwind-White coal mining COM
pany, one of the large producers of bit
luminous coal, which has mines in
Center, Clearield, Jefferson, Cambria
and Somerset counties, notified its en-
ployees last week that on June 1st an
increase of wages would go into effect.
Under this increase the miners will re-
ceive fifty cents per ton for pick mining
and twenty-five cents per ton for load
ing after the puncher type of machine.
The advance will affect 10000 men,
l,000of whom work in Jefferson county.
One OF the pleasant features OF the ad-
vance is the fact that the employees have
been notified of the advance without
any threat of a strike by them.

DINING CAR "SALT LAKE."
Big Crowd Admired the Car at the
Passenger Depot Yesterday.

A great many people visited the Rio
Grande Westerns new diner salt
Lake" which was on exhibition at the
station yesterday. The outside finish
OF the car leads one to expect some
thing beautiful on the interior, and ex-
pectations are fully realized. The car
is one of the finest specimens of the
builders art. On entering, the eye
wanders from the beautiful mahogany
finish and the arched roof frescoed IN
green and gold, to the tables set up for
four persons on one side of the car and
two on the other. covered with snowy
white linen and decorated with carna-
tons and roses in rich profusion.
The rays of the sun are reflected
from the cut-glassware on the table
into the plate-glass mirrors along the
side of the car. The silverware was
artistically grouped on the tables, and
it all is marked with the well-known
Rio Grande Western monogram. At
convenient places along the side of the
car, by the windows, are placed beau
tiful potted plants and palms.
The pantry and wine room is a mar
vel of neatness and completeness, and,
taken all in all, the car is a credit TO
the road and a worthy companion to
the beautiful scenery through which 1t
passes between here and Denver.

JAPAN PREPARING FOR WAR
ASSUMES A HOSTILE ATTITUDE
TOWARD RUSSIA.
French Activity In Szechuen Gives
Rise to Belief That They Will OBJ
tain Possession of Province.

Victoria. B. c.. May 31.-The steamer
Kinshiu Maru brings news from the
Orient that Japan is said 10 be prepar-
ing for war with Russia.
TT is quite clear says the China
Gazette, that it is the intention of the
French to create a fresh '.Fashoda' In
SZechuen. In no province is French
political and missionary activity so
great. While British enterprise, both
political and commercial. neglects this
great province, the most important on
the whole Yang Use, the French are
firmly establishing themselves, and by
every means in their power adding
strength to their position TO dispute
the future claims of the British to a
region which the British public are be-
ing deluded into the erroneous belief
that their government has secured an
undisputed title to. One fine day they
will be badly disillusioned on this score,
and if they do not wake up they will
find the French firmly established near
Chungking. with large mining conces-
siops and an almost indisputable claim
to the hinterland."
Six hundred houses and eleven
shrines and temples were destroyed and
a number of lives lost at a fire at Yami-
