SIX MORE DEMANDS FRAMED.
REPRESENTATIVE OF BIG COAL COM
PANIES SAY THEY WILL NOT
BE GRANTED.

wikesbarre. Penn, Oct 1.-THE Wilkesbarre
assemblies of the United Mine Workers held
meetings to-day and instructed the delegates
to the Scranton convention to insist on the fol
lowing demands:
FiTst-Recogntion OF the union.
Second-Powder reduced to 81 90.
Thrd-Ten per cent general advance
Fourth-Two weeks pay.
Fifth-Check docking boss.
SiXth--A contract signed by the companies
agreeing to the above, to hold good for one year
The instruction Of the delegates comes in the
nature of a surprise as it was expected they
would be allowed TO their own judgment
after taking their seats in the convention and
learning the sentiments of the other delegates.
President MltchelTs speech at Scranton yester-
day, in which he said that the 10 per cent In
crease in wages offered by the companies was
not enough, no doubt influenced the strikers in
the Wyoming Valley to extent
The representatives of the big coal companies
here. when they saw the list of demands which
the miners of the Wyoming Valley make said
there would be no settlement Of the strike on
such a basis They consider the demands too
sweeping and say the companies could not think
of granting them. The individual operators de-
offered are out OF the question. They say that
with 10 per cent increase and no reduction in
carrying tolls they will have A hard time MAX
ing ends meet. One individual operator said
President Mitchell would make the mistake of
his life if he did not use his influence with the
delegates and have them accept the offer made
by the operators.

A Cretna Green Affair.

On last Sunday morning a
gretua green wedding took place
at the residence Of Editor r. B.
Shanks in SlidelI, the contracting
parties were Mr.. Luther Slaydon
of Nicholson and Miss Rosa Tate
of Lacy. 1t seems that the old
folks objected on account of the
youthfulness of the couple but
their vigilance was insufficient
to cope with cupid's well laid
plans, and before any one had
time to Interfere they had reach
ed place of safety and their
loving hearts united in the holy
bonds of matrimony. Rev. J. J.
Kelly of Slidell reformed the
ceremony, while Mr.. viii Askew
and Miss Daisy Tate were the
groomsman and bridesmaid.

bride and groom were Mr.. Dan

of Dan Smith, a brother-in-law

in honor of the occasion and a
merry time was had by all. The

SOUTHERN CHINESE BUILDINGS.
Brighter Colors and More Decoration
 Than in the North

Brighter Colors and More Decoration
 Than in the North
 In the south, as one might expect from the parallel of Europe the build- ings display brighter colors and more decoration than in the sombre north. The lines of the arch are straight and stiff, but upon them is set every sort of grotesque animal and figure that occurs to the limited scope of Chinese imagi- nation. Inside the courts of the joss house the figures of the Chinese theog- ony are more plentifully bedecked with tinsel and brass and color than they are on the Yang-Tse. No temple is with out it's gliding, but in the south there are signs of more frequent applica- ton of gold leaf than in the dingy re- cesses of northern gloom. To regild temple is accounted a work of holiness which is set down on the credit side of the account when the dead mans spirit is seized by the internal lctors and taken before Kuang-Ti to be submit ted to the unpleasant interroga tions of the court below. There are opportuni- ties in plenty for fire insurance of this kind, because the Chinese find 1t very hard to keep their hands off fresh gilt when 1t can be turned to the purposes of personal profit
 At Canton there Is famous temple the sides of which are lined with brass and gilded figures in a sitting posture, to the number of four hundred and eight, representing the various incar- nations of the great Buddha. The long rows are impressive and bewidering, even though they do not suggest more than a curious gallery of family stat ues-somethiug like the busts of a pa trician family in old Rome-but con- mon peculiarity is that, while the bod ies have worn their color to a rich bronze, the hands are nearly all as bright as new gold, The explanation is that the adventurous cooie is al ways appropriating the hands for the secular purposes of trade and conse- quently the priests are continually re- placing them Such a sacrilege excites no surprise in country where the priests themselves are ever ready to sell the holiest of holies, and where sil- yer is replaced by pewter and bronze by iron every day of the week The only reason that bronze in a Yang Tse temple gave for not disposing of an ancient incense burner was that if he did the people would rise and kill him. Personally he had no objestion. He believed in the saying, "The image maker does not worship Buddha; he knows too much about the idol,''
 Just as these temples are cleaner and richer in the southern provinces than save in SZe-Chuan, so the private houses are of finer and more build. In Kwang -Tung many of them stand out by themselves, like an English farm, with strong walls

surrounding well kept, one-storied dwelling rooms, and the blue brick made at the many brick fields which line the banks is far more durable and cohesive than the unbaked mud that does duty for it in so many other parts. The roofs. too, are neatly tiled and fit to resist the full fury of tropical storms.
 It is not only the detached house which is thus superior. All along the lower reaches the villages, which thrive and batten upon the production of silk, have an air of permanent prosperity that as contrasted with the pitiful pow erty of so much that one sees else where, strikes q pleasant contrast. In their festivals and solemn sacraments they make a parade and effect which have something of Indiana gorgeous ness about them. Above SamShui, on the southern bank, I saw municipal procession winding In and out of the waving clumps of feathery bamboo that in the distance, at any rate was pretty moving picture A band of mu- sicians in scarlet garments led the way before a whole army of tablet bearers, who proclaimed the virtues of the illus trious dead. Above them hoated the standards of the mandarins, and In the center was a huge serpent, made up in pantomimic fashion of painted mating, hung upon a framework supported by number of unseen "supers," who wag- gled and twisted in the orthodox way. Behind came priests and coolies, and in the place of honor were mounted off, cials, with their red umbrellas of office borne before them. At close quarters all this would have been tawdry enough, but, seen in the bright sunlight, with the background of red sandstone fringed by the most graceful of tropical trees, it was not only curious-it was almost eautiful.-London Telegraph.
