HymeneaI.

The PRESS last week called attention tc
the fact that an important event was
taking place as we went to press-thC
marriage Of Mr.. FRANK Z. BEERS and
Miss CLARA OLMsTED. The ceremony
took place at high noon at the First Bap-
tist church and like all such important
occasions passed off perfectly beauti-
fully" Promptly at the hour Mr.
Erving Chauncey Lewis, of Ulysses, took
his station at the organ, when the we'd
ding procession appeared in the vestibule,
in the following order: Flower Girls,
Vera Olmsted, y Annie Welsh; Maid of
Honor, Myrtle Omsted; Chorus Girls,
Misses Grace Walker, Edith Olmsted,
Lillian Heiman, Grace McCaslin, Ada
Hockey, Minnie Bargelt, Grace Leet,
Florence Olmsted, Byrde Taggart. The
bride leaning upon the arm of her father
followed. As the party marched down
the aisle Lohengrin's popular Bridal
Chorus was very creditably rendered by
the young ladies'. The groom, assisted
by his best man-Mr. G A. Brown. of
Me- eesport, Pa, met the bride in front
of the church chancel when the ceremony
was quickly performed that united two
loving hearts and greatly respected young
people for life. During the marriage
ceremony Miss Grace Walker, in low,
sweet notes, on her violin and Mr..
Lewis at the organ, added greatly to the
solemnity of the occasion. Rev. w. r,
Mcneil, of Brdgeton, n j., very dear
friend of the brides family, performed
the ceremony in a very happy manner.
Throughout the ceremony was beautifully
and herpily rendered and certainly must
have been pleasing to those most direct y
Interested.
Geo. p. Jones, f. A. Leet, Harry
Derby and Herbert Olmsted served as
ushers and each paid strict attention to
every little detail and if reports are true
at least part Of the gentlemen took notes
for future use.
The PRESS wishes the bride and groom
much happiness and a prosperous future.
After sumptuous dinner at the resi-
denee of the brides parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Fl. G. Olmstcd. Mr.. and Mrs
Beers departed on the 800 train tol
Bellefonte, where Mr.. Beers is employed
by the Bellefonte fornace company as
chemist The well wishes of our citizens
accompany them.

Ginseng.


Ginseng is in good demand this year
Dealers pay from 81 to $5 pound for
it. Ginseng is Chinese word, mean
ing the likeness of man. The root is
used exclusively by the Chinese, and
is regarded by them as possessing the
greatest medicinal virtues, but it really
has none. The plant is becoming quite
rare in China, and most of it is now
exported from the United States The
Chinese variety sells at a fabulous
price in that country, often as high as
S400 an ounce, while that exported
from this country retails all the way
from Sc to $500 an ounce. An ounce
of gold is worth but $40, so that it is
not in it for a moment with the pre-
cious life root known as ginseng.
Fifty years ago a man might have
gone into the woods adjacent to PUNK
sutawney and dug up ton of ginseng
in a week. If he could do it now it
would be worth about 500, 900 to him.
That would be better than going to
the Klondike. At the average retail
price of 500 an ounce in China, ton
of ginseng would be worth S24O, 900,
and of the variety found in Korea,
which is most highly esteemed and
sells as high as $500 an ounce, ton
would reach the enormous sum of
$960,O00 And the strange thing about
it is that ginseng is really valueless as
a medicine, the demand for it being
created by a mere popular supersti.

Strikes are always serious matters.
There may be no acts Of violence and
settlement may be reached, and
usually is. on exactly the same basis
as before, but there is harm done in
the impression given to the younger
workers. and the more ignorant ones,
that this is the proper manner in which
to adjust difference Of opinion. The
worker has at stake the days food for
his family, but he willingly throws this
in the balance, with credit and charity
to back him.
"On the other hand. the employer is
risking everything. Enforced idleness
may allow his competitors to secure
the market fOr his products. He has
often contracted for materials TO man
ufacture, depending upon the returns
from the finished articles to pay these
accounts. He risks his investment, his
credit. his business itself.
The average employer objects to
labor unions not so much because the
workers are combined, as because they
are in almost every case wholly ire
sponsible bodies, making demands with
out consultation as TO their fairness

O. A. Baldwin of this place, secretary

week chosen general manager of the
company and of the Bernice mines, and
on Tuesday the announcement was

company and the Long Valley Coal

cepted by Mr.. Baldwin and he will
enter upon his duties at once. The va

Iron and Steel Trade.

The impression is gaining ground in
iron and steel trade circles that there
will shortly be another sharp advance
in the prices for raw material. Pig
iron is very scarce. and it is upon this
fact that these predictions are based.
Up TO the present time nearly all of
the steel mills have been able to run
on full time, but with increasing diff
Guilty in securing material it is eX-
tremely likely that most of them will
have to go on three quarter time the
remainder of the year.
The shortage of pig, and the fact
that during the past month contracts
have been made by foundries and some
of the steel makers for next years
supplies, leads many in the trade to be-
lieve that present conditions will pre-
vail for a long time to come, and may
in a measure be permanent.
4 healthy tone pervades the market,
however, and there is little or no like
lihood of a sensa tiOnal boom.

CAPITAL AND LABOR.
Considered from Capitalists Point Of
View-Article in September Let
ter of Anthracite Operators
Association.

The September Letter of Anthracite
Coal Operators association, a month
ly publication which is the official or
gan Of the association from which IT
takes it's name, has the following on
the question If capital and labor.
THE period OF dissatisfaction among
the mine workers has come around
and, on the eve of prosperity, they are
endangering the very result they have
been wishing for. The complaint
throughout the anthracite regions has
been that there is not enough working
time. That the capacity to produce
was so largely in excess of the market
requirements, that working $50 days i'm
the year, filled the demand. This has,
! unfortunately, been the case and has
wrought haTdships on the operators as
Well as workingmen. When 80 per cent.
of the entire product, pea and smaller,
sells at far less than its cost of pro-
duction. it must be- evident that even
/ the utmost skill will hardly bring
return to the capital invested, when
this must be had from the remaining
20 per cent, and the plant idle 2l5 days
in year,
"A man who can work 800 days in a
year and earn $l.50 each day. makes
more, and at no more cost to himself
than the one who earns $3.50 and can
| work but $50 days. This does not re-
quire research into the theories Of eco
nomics, but plain, everyday common
sense. The trouble is, the average
workman will look rather to his earn
! ing power for one day, and this Teadl-
ness to grasp a detail and ignore the
broader question has always been the
| capital of labor agitatOrs.
This is a particularly unfortunate
| time for both miners and operators
| The former, II earnest in their eX-
pressed desire to increase their earn
ings, have the opportunity to do so by
| taking advantage of the rapid increase
in the demand for their product and
working more days each month than
has been possible before. Then, to the
| operators, the larger product produced
! by their investment has offered a
chance to make good some of the heavy
losses incurred in previous years.
1T is. of course, fair to assume that
the miners really believe that their
various demands are just but there
are times when there is a fair doubt
as to whether this is the case, or they

In Fairly Good Condition, They Say.

There was no material change in the
strike situation yesterday beyond the
statements given out by the carpenters
that they had secured several more
contracts. The men do not appear
TO have the same views on the building
trades situation as the architects whose
opinions were published in yesterdays
Tribune. They maintain that the build
ing trade is in fairly good condition.
A number of members of the Build
ers' exchange deny the statement made
sometime ago to tho effect that they
were asking the men to come back
at the old scale now, with the promise
of the eight hour and the thirty cents
an hour next spring. one of the MEM
bers said: such a statement is alb
surd as we have COnClusvely shown
that we have all the men we require
to do the work on hand and we do not
need to go out soliciting for men"
