ASSERTIONS OF PATRIOTISM.
MeadviIIe Citizens Indignant Over
FnIse Reports.

MEADVILLE, Pa, Sept 14.-Coasider-
able indignation is felt by Meadvllle c.ti-
zens over the stories printed recently as to
anti imperialism influence here preventing
the enlistment of soldiers. Meadviila and
Crawford counties furnished a full quota
and more for the civil war. For the Span
ism war there were FIVE times as many
men willing to volunteer as were needed.
There is no anti-imperialist league here,
but. about as many anti-imperialists in
proportion in both parties as found else
where There have never been anti-im
perialist meetings held here. There never
was recruiting officer mobbed and no ef
fort was made TO dissuade prospective
volunteers beyond such as is made any
where by relatives. Private Baldwin, OF
the Second Artillery, was here nine days
partly disabled with lame foct all OF the
time. The recruiting station was not ad-
vertised except that the local newspapers
mentioned its opening. Six applicants out
Of seventeen passed the examination, one
of whom was non resident and left the
State. Four decided not to enlist and
these were urged by family and friends
not to do so. The one who did enlist was
actually advised to do so by a member OF
the faculty of the Unitarian Theological
School, which has been designated as the
centre Of anti-imperailistie influence.
There is really no ground for the stories
at all, and they are not worth noticing
here except in so far dis they reflect on the
patriotism of the locality

CUMBERLAND COAL TRADE.
Increased Shipments and a Gren
Demand for Fuel.

Demand for Fuel.
CUMBERLAND, Md. Sept. 14-The
shipments of coal from the Georges
Creek Cumberland region last week by
rail aggregated S2,717.O2 tons, and by the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal 5.3S705 tons,
making a total of SS ,1O4.O7 tons or H.
44190 tons more than the record for the
corresponding week of 1898. The increase
for the year to September 8 has bseen 1S1,-
343 tons. The total shipments from the
region so far have reached the unprece-
dented figure of 2,995.527 tons. This week
the 3,OC0 Geo ton mark will be passed The
canal is not doing so much, the total haul
age so far having been 124.123.06 tons, or
rs, ,524.12 tons less than last year.
During the week q, 1906 tons of coal
and 6.g90I2 tons of coke were shipped
from the Elk Garden and Upper Potomac
region of West Virginia.
The business of the Cumberland region
could scarcely be larger. as its capacity is
taxed TO the utmost, while the seaboard
trade continues most active, with the de-
mand in excess of the supply, despite the
best efforts of the operators to get coal
forward. The demand is largely due TO
the great activity in manufacturing indus
tries The car supply is short in many
cases.
The American Coal Company, at Iona
coming, is now mining coal from its low
veins four feet in thickness. The coal is of
good quality. 1t is used on Georges
Creek and Cumberland Railroad engines
and is pronounced first-claSs.

every description and there viii be no rest
for the steyedoeTs until the line of vessels,
ten miles long, has been unIoadsd. The
rush which began yesterday on the arrival
of the Cleveland fleet at Sault Ste Marie
continued today and Will continue for sew
eral more days. AT the best, while all OF
the docks running full blast, it will take
week to get the fleet away from here,
but with two days taken out of that time,
Saturday and Sunday. the delay will be
extended just that much All of these con-
ditions were known and they urged the
masters of the vessels to make the best use
of their time coming down the lakes. The
racing across the lake was the hardest ever
known, and little attention was paid to ma
chiuery or the consumption of fuel. Those
were matters which could be adjusted when
the boats got into port The question was
to get here and get a receiving dock and
other matters could then have considera-
tiCn
1t is expected that the fleet will continue
to come during night as some of the
heavier draft vessels were still tied up at
Detroit yesterday. The steyedores calmly
announced the ether day that they would
knock off Saturday and attend Hungarian
picnic This will be a costly day fox the
vessel owners. As the boats came into the
harbor today shippers made an effort TO
scatter the vessels as much as possible 10
avoid delays. The steamer Douglass, which
was the cause OF all the trouble, will dis
charge her cargo at Erie.

AN ESSAY ON SUICIDE.

would willingly let go of his life il is could
be relinquished painlessly to himse and
honorably to those left behind him and if
he had no hope, no fear of a life beyond

The narltx OF Hydrorl,ob.a.

Il has been asserted by many friends of ami
mails. ,yho rightly object to the annual torture
and slaughter Of dogs, and even by some physi-
cisis that there is no such disease rs hydroph0-
bia OF rabies as II is more correctly called Those
who have studied the subject carefully, however
are certain that there is a disease OF dogs which
Is communicable 10y one suffering from il
II other animals and 10 man. But this disease
IS very rare. and probably not one person in
thousand bitten by dogs is in any danger of it,
and not one dog killed among 500 supposed mad
dogs is really mad.
The word hydrophoba IS a misnomer for a
mad dog has no fear Of water. and viii run
through shallow pool without the slightest hes-
tAtion; the fear Is that of drinking water or of
swallowing anything either fluid or solid, as
the attempt is almost certain to throw the suf-
ierer, or beast, into spasms.
The only way of transmitting hydrophobia is
by inocuating; that is, by the introduction of
the virus into the body through wound of the
skin oi the mucuous membrane. The most usual
way for this event TO occur is, OF course
through the bite of rabid dog, cat or other
animal But not every bite even OF a genuinely
mad dog, is followed by hydrophobia. II the an
naTs teeth. for instance. have passed through
mans trouscr leg boot, the saliva, which CON
tains the virus, may be wiped away from his

AN ENQUIRY IN PROGRESS.
secretary Hitchcock Lco.iag Into
the Sndinn Territory Trouble.

bsss0tefaS Into
fhe sndinn Territory Trouble
Il was stated this morning that Sec
retary Hitchcock will not permit any Of
ms subordinates in the Department of the
Interior TO discuss for publication the labor
trouble in the mining region of the Ind an
Territory. These coai mines are situated
IN the Choctaw Nations reservation. ard
are leased by the Indians to white men.
There has been considerable trouble over
them for several months, owing to a dis
pute between the miners. the mine opera
tors, and the Indian owners
The miners went out on strike and the
operators employed non-unon men in their
places. The miners protested. but the op-
orators have the consent of the Indian
owners to do this, the latter acting on the
theory that miners who do not themselves
work should not prevent others from do
ing so. They want the mines worked be-
cause when they are idle the Indians re-
ceive no royalties from them.
There has been great deal of corre-
spondenee between William T. Mitchell
President of the United Mine Workers of
America, and the Secretary of the Interior
respecting the trouble, but thus far the
Secretary has not officially acted in the
matter.
He has sent an agent to the Indian Ter
rltory TO investigate the me- Ter, and has
received from this agent on report. but
this has not been filed. The agent is still
at the seat of trouble and until his final
report is made to Secretary Hitchcock,
the latter will take no action
In the meantime Samuel Gompers. Pres
ldent of the Federation of Labor has been
in communication with President Mitchell
OF the miners union. and it is believed that
special meeting OF the executive council
CT the Federation of Labor will soon be
called by Mr.. Gompers for the purpose of
discussing the mining trouble.
