The Spider and the Tuning Fork.

The Spider and the Tuning Fork.
A gentleman was recently watching
some spiders, when it occurred to him
to try what effect the sound of tun-
ing fork would have upon them. He
suspected that they would take it for
the buzzing of fly. He selected a
large. ugly spider that had been feast
ing on flies for about two months. The
spider was at one edge Of its web.
Sounding the fork, the man touched a
thread at the other side and watched
the result.
Mr.. Spider had the buzzing sound
conveyed to him over his telephone
wires, but how was he to know on
which particular wire it was travel
ing? He ran to the center Of the web
very quickly and felt around until he
touched the thread against the other
end of which the fork was sounding;
then, taking another thread along, just
as man would take an extra piece of
rope. he ran out to the fork and sprang
upon it. Then he retreated little way
and looked at the fork. He. was puz-
zled. He had expected to find buzz
| ing fly. Then. strange to say. he got
i on the fork again and danced with de-
light. Evidently the sound was music
to him.

London, Oct. II, $3.50 a. m.-The Lib
erals have been doing far better In the
counties in the parliamentary general
election than they did in the boroughs.
Yesterday they gained two more seats,
Cardiff and the Otley division of York
shire, thus equalizing the party gains.
The mintsterialists and the opposition
have now gained tWenty-seve seats
each Apart from Sir Henry Campbell
Bannermans reduced majority in Stir
ling Burghs and the success of Sir Ed
ward J. Reed at Cardiff, a seat former
ly held by James M MacLean prom
inent in Indian affairs, who did not
seek reelection, there is little of epe-
cial interest In yesterdays returns
The ministerialists now hold 357 seats
and the opposition 205. Sir Henry
Campbell Bannerman, addressing his
supporters after the poll had been de-
clared, said he was satisfied with the
result considering the state of the reg
lister and the most disadvantageous
circumstances for an election that an
ingenious government could devise.'

TEN PER GENT. NOT EMO UGH.
MttcheIps Address to Strikers ut scran'
ton-Great Enthusiasm.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 10.-Thousands
of striking mine workers marched in
review throughout the crowded streets
of this city to-day and showed their
loyalty to the cause for which they
have been battling for several weeks.
The welcome to National President
Mitchell was an exceedingly fattering
one.
1t is estimated that more than 10000
persons were gathered around the
speakers stand when Fred Dicher of
Ohio introduced the national president
of the mine workers union. When Mr.
Mitchell in his speech told the miners
that the proposition Of the operators to
advance wages 10 per cent. was not
enough the spontaneity of the cheering
was surprising and almost startling.
He followed this up by declaring that
the mine owners ought to abolish the
company stores and the sliding scale,
and that they should pay the men their
wages semi-monthly as the Pennsylva-
mia law directs. With the mention of
each grievance there would come an
outburst of applause from the men. He
gave the non-union men now on strike
in the anthracite field great credit for
suspending work along with the union
miner workers. He said there were
only $4,000 union men in the anthracite
region on the day when the strike be-
gan, but 10000 men have obeyed the
order to strike.

have said to everyone who has spoken
or written to me on the subject that
could not do any more campaign work.
1 began 70 make republican speeches
the year began to vote, and haSe had
laborious, if unimportant part in
every campaign, state and natlonal,
since, until 1898. In 1896 l submitted
myself to very hard usage and then
made up my mind and SO said to my
friends, that I would do no more cam
paigning. Following this conclusion [
declined to take a speaking part In the
campaign of 1898 My retirement dates
from that year, not from this. Few
men have made more speeches for their
party than / have, and no ex-presldent,
am sure, has made SO many Since
left Washington my retirement from all
participation in party management has
been complete. All that I have left to
others, and I think they have very
generally and kindly accepted my
sense of the prophecies of the case

word have vacated the choir loft

deep sense of gratitude to my forbear-
ing fellow countrymen."
"But, general, 1t Is said that you are
not altogether in accord with your
party?"
"Well, T have heard that my silence
was imputed by some to that cause.
Now the only public utterance I have
made in criticism Of the policies of the
party was contained in the interview,
consisting Of one rather short sentence,
that I gave to the newspapers while the
Porto Rico bill was pending. It was,
in substance, that I regarded the bill
as grave departure from right prin-
