SWEEPING DEMANDS
STAGGER OPERATORS

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 70. - The
Wilkesbarre assemblies Of the United
Mine Workers held meetings yester-
day and instructed the delegates to the
Scranton convention to insist on the
following demands: Recognition of
the union; powder reduced to 81 so:
10 per cent general advance; two
weeks pay; check docking boss; 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 surprise. as
Il was expected they would be allowed
to use their own judgment after TAX
ing their seats in the convention and
learning the sentiments OF the other
delegates.

FATE OF NAVAL CADETS
HANGS In THE BALANCE

Annapolis, oct. 12.-The court mar
tial which for three days heard tosti-
mony in the oase of half dozen stu
dents at the Naval Academy, on the
charge Of hazing Cadet /. r. Dortsch,
concluded its work yesterday. The
findings Of the court were not made
public. II was brought out that Cadet
Dortsch sang songs, told stories and
stood upon his head at the solicitation
of a number Of upper classmen.
Dortsch said he was not pressed by the
upper classmen to perform the acts
referred to, but considered the matter
a huge Joke and voluntarily performed
the antics for the delectation OF the
others. The alleged hazing was dis
covered by one Of the officers who en-
tered the room to learn the cause Of
loud laughter and unseemly hilarity.

Never Lay Carpets

Until the floors have had at least one
good coat Of paint. Especially is this
desirable with bedrooms. IL is abso-
lutely necessary to good health to have
the floors painted, thus excluding YER
min and foul smells. James NJ. Bryan
& Sons Floor paint acts as a disin-
fectant and cannot be too highly rec
commended from a sanitary standpoint.
Rugs are preferable to carpets, and a
room may be made very attractive by
painting the floor nicely with q border
around the edge and one or two rugs
spread on the floor. Go to No. 1O7
West Eighth street, and get the only
floor paint that will cement up the
cracks, fill the pores Of the wood and
make a hard and serviceable covering.

lNALYZING MEDICINE FOUND
In the Room Occupied by Marie

Her Death

Chicago, Oct. 12.-Anaylsis Of the
contents OF five bottles OF medicine
found yesterday in the room occupied
by Marie Defenbach at the time of her
death will be made in the laboratory
of the health department today, par
ticular attention being given to the bot
tie purporting TO contain medicine for
dysentery. Doses OF this will be ad-
ministered to a guinea pig for the pur-
pose OF watching its effect. The con-
tents OF a bottle taken from the suit
case of F. Wayland Brown when ar
rested will also be analyzed. II IS as
serted that the liquid found in the bot
tie among Browns effects is what is
commonly known as knockout drops, q"
two teaspoonfuls Of which would or
dinarily cause death.
Mrs. +. A. Follinger, formerly Miss
Ethel Johnson, one of the supposed
victims Of the conspiracy, accompanied
by her husband, came up from Logans-
port, Ind. and had an interview with
Capt. Colleran, chief of detectives. last
night. She denied that she had ever
met Brown when taken to the county
Jail to see him. Brown also declared
that he never saw the woman before.
Officials Of the New York Life In
surance company the Mooney & Bo-
land detective agency and the city po-
lice say that the attempt TO connect
the names of many women with the
Defenbach case is ridiculous. II Is
suggested that Brown was rather a gay
Lothario, but all OF. the persons in
terested In the prosecution assert that
no other woman is likely to be brought
directly into the present case. II de-
veloped last night that Irene Spencer,
mentioned as a possible victim OF
Brown, was an acquaintance whom he
had met but once.

Landowner and Farmer.

Tho Reason Is That Every Native Is
Landowner and Farmer.
The great difficulty in Guam, from
an American point of view, is the .ack
of laborers. Every native is land
owner and farmer. A man may know
how to bake bread, make shoes or
build house, get such thing MS a
regular baker, shoemaker or carpenter
is unknown in Guam. You may be
kept waiting weeks for pair of shoes,
or chest, or pair of trousers, be-
cause the man engaged to work for
you has TO harvest his corn, or build
hut on his ranch, or plant his rice.
Did yon ever imagine what the condi-
tions would he if everyone were rich?
Who would make our clothing, build
our houses, cook our food? We
should have to do these things for
ourselves, unless we repaid somebody
else by work for helping us in the time
of our torubles aud necessity. These
are the conditions in Guam.
If You had farm producing sweet
potatoes, cocoanuts, corn, yams, taro,
chickens, pigs, coffee, chocolate, sirup
of cocoanut sap, vinegar, cider, sugar,
beans and pumpkins, would you go to
work on the road for so conts day

the good of thesisland that such con-
ditions exist. The roads and bridges
are bad, and nobody wants to mend
them. Formerly all such work was
done by convicts sent here from Spain
and the Philippines. We need labor
ers and need them badly.
We literally have no market, not q
single store where you can go aud

dozen of oranges, or fowl or turkey.
You have to, beg people to sell you
things. They don't want money.
They get preserved fruit, which they
really do not need, and rice from the
traders in exchange for their dried
cocoanut. We found that they were
very anxious to get ships tobacco
when last years supply of tobacco
gave out. 30 soseveral of the officers laid
in supply of ships tobacco and ex-

The Growth of.our cities.

Americas growth, proportionate
and absolute, in urban population, has
been one of the marvels of the CEN
tury.
Of the 100000 population of the
United States in round figures in 1870
only 1872, 900 resided in the cities of
5000 Inhabitants OF over. In 1890 of
the 63, 900, 900 inhabitants of the coun-
try as whole $4,000, 900 lived in cit
les of 5000 or more inhabitants. The
city population of the United States,
which was in the neighborhood OF
1856 per cent. Of the aggregate inhab.
itants of the country ill 1870, was 90. 20
per cent. in 1890.
AS the growth of urban population.
proportionate as we'll as absolute, has
been continuous for the past hundred
years, and he's shown tendency to
increase in the post three or four de-
eades, the chances are that the returns
of 1900 will show that more than thir-
ty-three per cent. of the aggregate
population of the contiguous portion
of the United States reside in cities.

all growing countries is for the cities

Province House.

The exterior walls of compare
lively new building on Washington
street, Boston, Mass, have an inter
esting history. They were originally
the walls of the Province House, q
noted mansion of colonial times, which
was built in 1879. It was three stor-
les high, built of brick, with stone
steps, and beautiful lawn ornament
ed the approach. In It's the Prov

governors, who were wont to address
the citizens from front portico. 1t
became private property early in the
present century and was soon compar-
atively isolated. a block of brick
stores being erected in front OF it.
For some time the Province House
was used as negro concert hall.

walls which, as before stated, were
used for q new building.-Detroit
