joint Scale Committee of Operators
and Miners Agree on a
Compromise Rate.

Pittsburgh. Pa, Jan. 25.-The coal
mining rate for the four large Compel
Ing states of the country was agreed
| to by the Joint scale committee of OPP
orators and miners Tuesday, and all
that now remains is its adoption by the
interstate convention. The sub-scale
committee met Tuesday morning to
consider the recommendation of the
Joint committee as to the differences
in Illinois.
The operators of that state made the
work of the committee comparatively
easy by receding from their demands
for a double standard and agreeing to
the arbitration of the machine differ
entail price.
The report was then adopted by the
joint committee.
The adoption of this report will pre-
vent a national strike, and any trouble
that may occur during the year will
be in Hooking Valley, o., and at mines
where the operators have refused to
be a party to the contract.
Under the new agreement the rates
II IudloAd, oAlO IL SAASJ III i
be the same as at present. For run-of-
mine coal the rate will be Az 66-100 cents
a ton, inch and a quarter screen coal, 66
cents a ton; drivers and outside labor
will receive the same wages as at pres
ent, aud eight hours will constitute a
days work.
In Illinois the run-of-mine system
will prevail. The machine differential
is to be arbitrated. The operators want
a fiat differential of ten cents a ton,
between pick and machine mining, and
the miners want it reduced to seven
cents. The operators make the differ
ential rs per cent. of the pick mine
rate in favor of machine coal.
This rate will be fixed, however, by
a board of arbitration, which will be
composed of the presidents of the
miners state organizations in Indiana,
Ohio and the Pittsburgh district and
one operator from each state. These
six are to select the seventh man, who
shall not be a resident of the state OF
Illinois.

IF YOU WANT A DRINK.
One Must Ask for "sherry" in the
Congressional Restaurant In
tead of whisky.

II you are a stranger and happen to
be in the capitol when the appetite for
red liquor strikes you, it is necessary to
give the bartender in the public restau-
rant the password before your thirst
can be quenehed. If you ask him for
liquor he will say he has none. But if
you tell him you want sherry he will
hand over the liquor bottle, says the

Sherry" is the password, and is
known to everyone who has occasion to
visit the house bar. Beer in bottlesis
dispensed to the thirsty on both sides
of the capitol, but on the senate side it
is not possible to get sherry" The
result is that the house bar does a hand
some business.
The government furnishes every
thing in the senate restaurant save the
%eatables, the silverware and linen. Ice,
coal, fuel and Illuminating gas are paid
for out of the government funds. For

PAUNcEFoTE IS MUSICAL.
British Ambassador at washinEtea
Discovered to BE a Talented
Composer.

just as Sir Julian Pauncefote is about
to leave Washington it has become
known that the British ambassador is
not only a diplomatist but a talented
musician and composer. Last week q
caller was shown into the drawing
room, where she could look into the
ballroom. The piano had been moved
into that room and placed behind a
screen for the reception of the night
before. Miss Lillian Pauncefote was
singing for Mrs. Almeric Hugh Paget,
who was listening delightedly. When
the song was completed Sir Julian
gracefully confessed to the authorship
and bowed to the applause of his small
but appreciative audience.

WHEEL OSCILLATION.
1t a Been shown That bicycle
Wheels Which OscilIate Are
Vol Necessarily Best.

There was a time, and not so very
long ago, when the average dealer
judged of the qualities of a bicycle by
the number of times the zeal wheel os-
cillated after it had been revolved free
of the floor. AT the last bicycle show,
reports a wheel paper, this fallacy was
taken advantage of by the shrewd sales
men of several manufacturers who, rec
ognizing the effect this balancing had
OF some of their customers, adjusted
the wheels shown by them accordingly.
Now, as a matter of fact, this balancing
has nothing at all to do with the run
ming qualities of the wheel. 1t means
nothing. 1t is the way a wheel uns
when under load that shows itsquali-
ties, and experienced dealers and riders
have long appreciated this fact. Last
summer there was a coasting contest
near New York, and among the con-
%testants were two men of exactly the
same weight. One rode a wheel which
would oscillate for four minutes when
it was free of the floor, and the other
bicycle, no matter how hard it was
sprung, would come to a standstill in
- E8
half that time. In the contest the lat
ter virtually ran away from its oppo-
nent. A perfectly adjusted wheel with
out a tire or valve hole does not oscil-
late at all. Place a tire on the same
wheel and it will swing backward and
forward for some time. The gyroscope
top. which is so perfectly balanced
that it will spin at any angle, does not
oscillate after it has expended its force.
If a small shot be soldered on the edge
Of the rim of the same top it will swing
until that part of the top is at the bot
tom, but at the same time will not spin
long. Paste graphite as a lubricant for
chain or chainless gear may affect the
%oscillating power of a wheel, but when
you + on the wheel it will run away
from anything else.

CAN SIT HOLIDAYS.
The Supreme Court Says That Judicial
Business Can BE TRANSACTED
on Play Days.

Judicial business can be lawfully
done on the Fourth of July, according
to a decision of the supreme court. AS
to the issuance and obedience to a sub
poena on July 4 the courr. says, inter
preting section 1926 Of the code:
The appellees insist that this section re-
lates solely to the appearance of parties to
litigation and does not even by implication
forbid other judicial procedure.
The section In terms refers only to civil
actions or special proceedings. There ~
nothing in its language that seems to pre-
vent a defendant in a crimina action from
being required to appear on any of the
specified days January ], February ~
May IS. July 4. December Is and Thanks
giving day..
This would indicate most strongly that
these days are not to be classed with Sum
day as dies non.
II the parties chose to appear at such
times we are not inclined to hold that no
valid proceedings can be had in q civil
case.
If 1t had been the legislative intent to
prohibit the transaction of judicial busi-
ness on either Of the days mentioned We
think they would have been coupled with
Sunday In section 191.

Wreck at North Hanover, III.
GREAT WESTERN TRAINS COLLIDE.
Three Members of the Crew of One

Dubuque, Ia, Jan. 25.-By a collision
on the Great Western road at North
Hanover, Ill, three men were killed.
three engines demolished, and 33 cars
wrecked. The accident happened Mon
day night, but through the secrecy of
the railroad people details could not be
had until late Tuesday. An extra east
bound double-header freight train left
Dubuque Monday night with orders TO
meet another extra freight at Hanover.
The west-bound train had orders to

when the extra instead of switching
swept on, crashing into the other train.
The crew Of the latter saw the coming
train and saved themselves by jumping,
but the other train crew remained
aboard and were in the wreck.
The crash was terrific. Both engines
were completely demolished. Thirty
three carr of the west-bound train were
piled in a wrecked heap and three of
it's crew were killed. The dead are:
Alexander Thompson, engineer, Du-
buque; Michael Devereaux, fireman,
Dubuque; A. vanD erberg, brakeman,
Chicago. Vanderberg was found
wedged tightly against the boiler head
of the engine alive, but died before he
was taken out. Devereaux was found
some distance from the wreck, terribly
injured, and crowded against the boiler
by the debris. He died while pleading
to his rescuers to end his suffering by
killing him. The cause of the accident
was not fixed by the company, but is
believed to have been a misunderstand-
ing of orders by the w%est-bound train.
The road was %blockaded all day, Great
Western trains reaching this city over
the Illinois Central.

ASK FOR IRON GRAVEYARD.
Venezuelan Government Wants wa
terproof BuryinE Ground for
10000 Bodies.

The iron manufacturers of Fennsyl-
vania have been asked through the me-
dunn Of the national association Of
manufacturers to submit proposals to
the government of Venezuela for an
iron graveyard, in which to renter e5.-
600 bodies. The proposal is novel with
iron industries of Pennsylvania, al
though there are a few iron cemeteries
In southern cities. The g%raveyards,
particularly in Caracas, heretofore have
been built of stone, but these have
proved unsatisfactory, and the Vene-
zuelans have become tired of building
graveyards, which have been erected at
great expense of marble and granite.
1t is believed that iron will answer
every purpose. But it must be made
waterproof, and Mr.. Nagle, of the Man
ufacturers' association, said he did not
doubt that Pennsylvania mechanics
could furnish a structure that would
answer every purpose.

ment, Smith was convicted, After two
years he was acquitted on an appeal to,
the supreme court, but he only lived a.
few hours, as his health had been ruinedl
by the confinement in prison. Mrs.
Smith did all she could to obtain help,
from the legislature in 1895, but failed.
Broken down in health and herfunds
almost spent, Mrs. Smith returned to
Keokuk to find a home for her children
among friends. She had not given up
her claim, but her own physical condi-
ton and the care of her children took
her immediate attention. Finally her
condition became such that an opera.

cision of a great tumor, and this proved
fatal.
Since her death the Associated Chari-
ties of Keokuk have become interested
in the case and are doing all they can
to get the legislature of California to
grant relief. The legislature of Iowa
granted similar reliefin a case reported.

are hoping that California will be just
as willing to redress the wrongs done
her, her husband and her children by,
the imprisonment of Mr.. Smith and his
consequent death.
