The Pittsharg DalIy News.

In these days, when so many news
papers that claim To be enterprising
are but cheaply sensational and 9TH
ers that take pride IN their conserva-
tlsm are duh aud undressing, il is
real pleasure TO pick up city jour
nal that possesses neither the faults
of yellow journalism nor OF old fogy-
ism, but is at once clean, entertain
ing and thoroughly up-to-date. Such
paper is The Pittsburg Daily News,
which is just now busy receiving con-
CALCULATIONS on It's fourth birthday
anniversary. Always optimistic ia
its outlook, taking the cheerful and
helpful view in its editorial and news
columns, The Daily News Is now de-
perity which it predicted In its in
augural editorial. The name of The
Daily News sufficiently indicates the
object which the management have
steadily set before them-to print all
the news, and to print it first The
Daily News is, primarily, ''family
newspaper, in the best meaning of
that much abused term. Every men,
Der of the domestic circle may find
within its columns something of
especial personal interest and amuse-
ment. In this year of the presiden-
tial election every person who wishes
to keep abreast of the times must
read newspaper In which he or she
can place implicit reliance. The
Daily News admirably fulfills all re-
quirements and at its rate OF three
dollars year or six cents week does
not pose as cheap newspaper, but as
high class newspaper at "a low price.

THE WEST VIRGINIA
10 BE One of Nest Powerful Ships in
the Navy.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-No war
ships Of such fighting power have
ever been planned abroad OF at home
as the three cruisers whose details
have just been practically completed
by the admirals of the Naval Con
struetion Board. They are really
formidable battle ships, with the
speed and staying powers of an
ocean liner. Never has such ire
mendous battery been mounted
ahoat as the California, the Ne
hraska and the West Virginia will
carry. Sixty six guns constitute
their armament, and their maya
zines are to hold over 400 tons of
ammunition.
The board has given these ships
5000 tons displacement, % knots
speed, and. with coal bunker eapae-
ity OF 1000 tons, a steaming radius
Of Z, 900 miles They will be the
only ships in The navy literally ar
mored all over.
Among the novelties, the tower
decks will be covered with linileum,
all woodwork reduced to minimum
and fire prooted, the magazines COW
cred with non-conductors of heat
and cooled by refrigerating appara
atus; coal bankers arranged for ex-
tremely rapid filing and emptying,
automatic water tight doors between
ali compartments operated from sew
eral stations, fire main laid below
the protective deck, laundry for $50
men, and machine shop. Space is
provided for six months proyis
ions tanks for 5000 gallons of drink
ing water, and an ice machine to
make three tons day, and dis
filling plant for 10000 gallons day
Electricity will operate the turret-
turning gear, blowers for Ventilation
mechanical bread mixer, laundry,
ammunition hoists, gun hammers
ond air compfessers for torpedos.
The construction board has also
practically completed the designs
for the battleships Pennsylvania,
Georgia and New Jersey, no mater
ial modification from the original
plans having been made.

How 1t would Compare with the Small
Coins of Other Nations.

The report has gained currency of
late that the Treasury Department
is contemplating the renewed Issue
of the half cent piece, discontinued
as part of the metal money output
about fifty years ago This PROJECT
is in response to demand by both
the otferers and the purchases of the
bargains which form so large a
part of the retail trade in large cities
at present.
In many European countries these
small fractional coins are in wide cir
culation, some of them very Of artis
tic in design There might be diff
eulties in the way Of re- establishing
the American half cent as praeti
cal coin which are not presented in
the currency systems of the older
countries. The present penny is
considered by many as small as a
coin should be, and a coin half as
large would be of inconyenient size
The manufacture of the penny of a
different metal than bronze and the
half-cent of a baser metal. with a
slight difference in their size, might
make a sufficient distinction to pre-
vent confusion There need be no
argument against the introduction
of this small bit of money on the
ground that it would cucumber the
pockets, for it would never find its
way into the pockets that would not
welcome it as an evidence Of econo-
my.

The Coal and Coke Industry.

Never In the history Of the country
has there been such an activity in
coal mining or so large an output OF
coal and coke 10 West Virginia and
Ohio as In the past few months. All
Of the coal mines are working as they
never did before, enormous quantities
OF coal is being turned out, and thu
demand for miners steadily increases
The Davis Coal & Coke company OF
West Virginia has announced an adj
vance Of rs per cent In the price OF
their product, and it is reported that
general advance Of prices through
out West Virginia and eastern Ohio
will take effect In the near future.
Pittsburg coal will take another ad-
vance, this being the fourth since last
October, when the coal combine was
organized and the first advance was
made. The aggregate advance since
that time In the Pennsylvania fields
has been go cents per ton on screened
coal, with proportionate advance on
all other grades. The reasons given
by mine operators for the ad vance Is
the increase in miners wages and
freight charges.

Observation-Disclosures Notes.
The base bah boys at ohe Universe
ty have gotten their salts out and are
now ready to come out in uniform
when they practice. They have been
doing some things towards this dur
ing vacation and they will be able to
get more and more men out every day.
The indications for winning team
are growing better constantly and the
chances are that the best team thai
has ever represented the University
will be on the diamond this spring.
A number Of new men are expected
TO enter school in addition to those
who are already here and all Of the
weak places on the organization will
be strengthened by these additions.
The schedule is giving lots of trouble
and will perhaps not be very good
one.
This is caused by lateness in going
after dates. The other schools have
made out their schedules and can't
make any changes. The eastern trip
will have to be abandoned on that ac-
count. This will be great disap-
pointment to the rooters and the men
themselves.
A favorable showing was made in
the east last year and it was hoped to
repeat the performance again this
time The w. & j. games on Deco
ration day have also been cancelled on
the same account. Other dates have
been taken with the Washington lads.
WayneSburg wants the former dates
and has generously offered fifty dollars
for the two games.
The games with Wheeling will be
played as scheduled and the boys will
spend a couple Of days in that place
being pitted against the Interstate
League team of Wheeling.
Out door practice is now possible
and it is being followed as closely as
the weather will permit. A very

and there is no reason to be discourag-
ed over the prospects even If the

The Adjutant Generals Office has
been engaged the past year with a
force OF clerks in preparing complete
roster OF the Federal troops Of West
Virginia who were engaged In the
war of the rebellion. work which
has never been properly done. That
is now very nearly completed and
ready for the printer.
Lately it has been determined that
this military record can be more COM
plete and desirable by the addition Of
a roster containing record Of the
service of the men who served on the
other side. General J. w. NJ Apple
ton has, therefore, taken the matter
up and secured the assistance of Ma
jor Levi WEIGH and Col. Flintlock
Perry, and the work of compiling this
record is going forward. The task OF
obtaining this roster complete is a
very difficult one, and these gentle
men ask the assistance of all who
may be able to aid them in the work.
They desire to make the roster as
complete as possible and any assist
ance they may receive from others
will be duly appreciated.

$4,000 COAL MINERS
Omit Work Because of Dissatisfaction
With the indianapolis Agreement.


P1TrsBURG, Pa, April 3.-From
$4,000 to $4,000 coal miners In the
Pittsburg district and 5000 in the
Irwin district are on a strike The
cause of the trouble in the Pittsburg
district IS dissatisfaction over the
work scale of the Indianapolis agree
ment and was entirely unexpected.
All the river mines were forced to
close down by the refusal of the men
to work, and many of the railroad
mines are idle. In the Irwin dis
trict the miners want an advance of
5 cents per ton. Good order prevails
in both districts.
The principal trouble in the Pitts
burg district is over the run-of-mine
rate and the pay for drivers. The
drivers are not satisfied with the adj
vance of five percent granted under
the Indianapolis agreement, and are
asking an advance equal to the in
crease accorded to the miners, or
twenty per cent, advance. At mines
where the miners are satisfied with
the digging rate, they are unable to
work on account of Che drivers be-
ing idle.
Under the provisions of the In
dianapolis agreement which went
into effect to-day, the pay of some
workers is higher than fer many
years, and tits thought that an am
icable settlement can be reached
without prolonged strike
Where the strike is almost general
it is not ordered by the district of
icers. Most of the miners struck
without knowing that the men at
the other mines had quit work.
George w. Schleudeberg, superin
tendent of the railroad coal combine,
says about % per cent, of their men
are out. He believes that after they
have held meetings and discussed
. the provisions OF the scale they will
decide to return to work
