No Change in Situation.

There has been no change in the labor
situation since Monday. 1t is said that
there are hopes Of the employers and
employees coming together, but the
details are not yet public property.
Labor men have been given to under
and corporations and some of the indi-
vidual operators are not averse to con-
ference to discuss the miners griev-
ances, but those backed by railroad
interests are opposed to doing anything
themselves or allowing other operators
to do anything which might have a
tendency to encourage the men.
The members of the United Mine
Workers are obeying the instructions of
President Mitchell to the letter by re-
naming at work, but they make no
secret of the report that a strike will
follow If present efforts on the part of
their leaders and outside parties should
fail.
In its daily comment on financial and
like subjects, Philadelphia paper
devoted solely to these interests con-
tanned the following significant para
graph yesterday:
''In connection with the strike talk +,
it is of the utmost significance that a
high official of one of the leading an
thracite roads when asked II the COM
panies had not made up their minds to
fight to the bitter end, and that there
fore the men would have to be the first
to yield, replied: 4 am not so sure
about that
at is not believed that there will be
an anthracite coal strike at this time or
before the November election. The Re-
publican campaign managers will see to
1T that the coal miners do not become
too restless.
I'm connection with recent statements
to the effect that the anthracite miners
had been egged on to their present posi-
tion toward their employers by btumin-
Gus men prominent soft coal operator
said: Such statements are perfectly
absurd. We cannot handle all the busi-
ness offered to us now, so there would
be no object for US to interfere with an
thracite.'"

an idea that beyond the scenes Of a
stage there Is great fun and hilarity
and that actors have jolly sort Of
time between their appearances before
the audience. The fact is a military
camp during times of inspection is no
more sedate than Is the rear Of any
well regulated stage when the public
in front of the footlights Is being en-
tertalned. The shifting Of scenes and
the proper execution Of an intricate
play require all the thought that can
be given them. All the men and women
have all they can do to properly per-
form their parts. IL n manager Is an
easy going man, caring little for dis
cipline. he soon gets TO the end Of his
career You may be sure there is no
business that is carried on In a more
businesslke way than is the play
house, and when the fun is on In the
front those behind the scenes are care

HOW TO CATCH A COLD.
The Various Ways In which 1t May
BE Accomplished.

- -"
The various ways in which a cold
may be brought on are thus describ-
ed by Or. ]. ii. Kellogg: "a little knife
blade OF air blowing in through a
crack in a window upon some part Of
the body Will chill that part, and the
blood vessels OF that region viii be-
come contracted affecting somewhere
I'm the interior Of the body an area in
reflex relation with this portion of the
surface of the body.
For instance, the blood vessels of the
skin of the top of the shoulders and
the chest are associated with the blood
vessels OF the lungs, so that whatever
happens to the blood vessels Of the
skin of the shoulders and chest hap.
pens also TO the blood vessels Of the
lungs. If there Is a contraction Of the
blood vessels Of the back OF the neck.
there will be a contraction Of the blood
vessels Of the nose and throat, and II
there is n contraction Of the blood YES
sells OF the top Of the shoulders and
the shoulder blades there will also be
a contraction of the blood vessels OF
the lungs. When the influence Of the
cold Is continued, this contraction is
followed by congestion.
'When one puts his hands into cold
water for n few minutes, they are first
pale and then red. This is reaction.
The longer the application and the
more intense the degree Of cold the
greater will be the contraction and the
congestion. So II the back of the neck
is exposed for long time TO the infu.
ence OF cold one Is likely to have q
cold in the nose and throat. II the
shoulder blades and the tops Of the
shoulders are exposed, one Is likely tc
take cold I'm the lungs and suffer from
congestion OF the lungs. If the cold Is
long continued, Il may cause not only
n congestion. but an Inflammation OF
the nose or the lungs.

wet or chilled a weakness Of the blad
der may result IL there has ever been 2
trouble there or n weakness Of tn,

that organ. Good Health.
