PITTSBURG, Pa, Dec. 8.-The Ameri-
can Glass Company, the window glass
trust notified all the jobbers today that
the price of window glass on all sizes had
been reduced 80 1-3 per cent This is
severe blow to the factories not in the
trust and especially as the new quota
tions apply also to orders already on hand.
The trust factories will fire up next week
and work viii begin the day after Christ
mas. The trust tried to induce the in
dependent factories to organize a selling
agency TO work in harmony with the
American Glass Company and the reduc-
tion in price is looked upon as an attempt
TO discipline the independents for their
failure to organize.

PRIESTS DISCOURAGE STRIKERS.
Coal Miners in ShnmOI>in Listen to
Advice From the Pulpit.

SHAMOKIN, Pa, Dec. S.-Oyer three
thousand United Mine Workers were ad-
dressed by priests in the local Catholic
churches this morning, in reference to the
impending strike OF the SusQuehanna Coal
Company's men. Following the addresses
President John Fahy issued notice that
the meeting called for tonight to decide on
the men going out had been postponed to
await the result of the efforts OF the bust
ness men of Nanticocke to settle the
strike.
The influence of the priests in urging
the men not to strike may have prompted
the postponement of the meeting.
The address of Vicar General Joseph
Koch. of the Harrisburg diocese. at ST. Ed
wards Church, caused a sensation. He ad-
vised the male worshipers who are en-
ployed about the collieries against being led
by few headstrong persons into synpa-
thy strike, as no good would result from IL.
He said the organization at Nantcoke erred

Captain Boyd, who was shot
through the leg by the Verde

is an Arizona pioneer and is said
to be the original locator of the

After the murder, when he lay
on the floor beside his murdered
friends, he bore his suffering he

Beware of Food Samples.

Quite recently in New York
two deaths occurred from poi
soning by the use of powders
sent to the victims by mail. In
LeavenWorth, Kansas, the other
day nearly every doctor in town
was called to attend the chill
dren who had gathered up. eaten.
and been made i'll by samples of
an article left at houses by can
vassers foradvertising purposes.
Alum baking powders have
always been favorite articles for
this sampling business. Yet
there is nothing more liable to
lead to danger than the practice
of using the various samples Of
baking powders left at the door.
They are presented by irrespon-
sible parties, in appearance are
not distinguishable from arsenic
and indeed, in Indiana some time
since one package was found,
after it had caused the death of
the housewife, to have been
mixed with that poison.
It is safer to orefuse all samples
of food or medicine offered at
the door. Pure cream of tartar
baking powders sell upon their
merits, and are never peddled or
sampled.

Who and Where is Bishop?


The officials are becoming
more and more impressed with
the fact that Jim Burns, Oscar
Wade and Charles Bishop, are
one and. the same man, whose
true name is Charles Bishop,
suspected of being the Camp
Verde murderer. He is said to
have worked for a time near
blackberry under the name of
Jim Burns. The officers are
also becoming more and more
convinced that the man of many
names is connected either re-
motely or directly with the
'Black Jack" gang Of outlaws.
The head of the gang made a
trip through this country, com
ing down overland from Utah
last April. He was seen by a
deputy scheriff at Walnut creek
and later by another one at
jerome Junction but was not
recognized at the time by either
of these officers. The lack of
recognition was mutual, for if
the notorious outlaw had known
of the official capacity of these
men, it might have aroused his
suspicion and led him to have
INDUCED in his usual pastime
of taking shot at them. All
trace of the man was lost at
Jerome Junction It is known
that he did not take up his re
sidence there during his visit,
but he succeeded in successfully
covering up his trail when he
took his departure from there.
It is highly probable that his
course took him through the
Verde Valley and the proposed
raid on the Camp Verde store
may have been planned at that
time. The only thing about
this theory is the fact that SO
far no trace has been obtained
to connect any but one man
with the crime.
While the officials are pretty
well convinced in regard TO the
above facts and the theories of
the Camp Verde murders, there
is one point in which they are
perfectly at sea, and that is as
to the present whereabouts of
the much wanted man. While
they still express hope Of their
getting him, the immediate
prospect doing so is by no
means very flattering. Journal

The general shaking up by
earthquake which was felt in
Southern California last week,
had a tendency to wake up the
sleepy denizens of San Bernar-
dino, and cause the Sun to re-
mark: "Many months ago a
learned savant of Europe made
the prediction that in July or
August of 1899 there would come
earthquake disturbances that
would make an island of Cali
fornia. No doubt he referred to
Lower California, which might
easily be cut off from the main
land by an earthquake. The
disturbance yesterday recalled
it to mind, and it is possible that
there are greater ones to come
in this line. The savant men
toned has foretold every earth
quake that has happened on the
earth for many years, some of
them costing thousands of lives.
The prediction, therefore, is not
to be laughed at. -

The views of General Ander-
son, Lawton's predecessor at
Manila, differ materially from
Washington estimates about the
fighting ability of the F'illipinos.
Anderson says: ''The Fillipinos
are good fighters and had the
Spanish whipped easily; the men
who went to Cuba rightly got all
the glory of winning a great war,
but they had no such men to
fight in the Spaniards as we had
in the F'ilipinos." Here we have
a doubly important statement.
First, the Fillipinos had practi-
cally won their independence
from Spain before the American
landing at Manila; second, the
Fillipinos are better soldiers
than the Spaniards. That zeal

Confession Of Faith.

A correspondent of the Out
look thus describes the impe-
rialist confession of faith:
1. I believe in keeping up the
old war taxes to prevent trade
with Europe, and the new war
taxes to force trade with Asia.
9. I believe in the exclusion of
ignorant Europeans and the in
clusion of more ignorant Asiat-
les.
3. Ibelieve in a protective tar
iff, where farmers would trade
abroad, but in free trade, where
manufacturers seek a market.
4. I believe the public cannot
manage monopolies at home, but
can manage subject races on the
other side of the globe.
5. I believe in home rule for
Ireland, but in alien rule for the
Spanish islands.
6. [ believe in a Monroe doc
trine, which forbids Europe to
interfere with self-government
in America, but permits Ameri-
ca to interfere with self-govern-
meut in Asia.
Il believe that Spanish isl
anders are unfit to govern them
selves, but will be TT to help
govern US.

right to govern themselves, but

Interest to Sheepmen.
