the Spectator, mo doubt is fear Of the
enormous resources of the people of
The United States and the Willingness
the people have revealed. as the Listok
aftirms, to use them for foreible expan-
sion OF trade and territory. The
statesmen of Europe do not exactly
know what course America will pur-
sue in her new greatness, and besides
recognizing clearly that she is stronger
than any single state on the continent,
they doubt in their hearts whether ii

1t would be possible for any coalition,
even if il covered all the other civilized
states, to raise up sufficient obstacles
to American designs. They cannot
conceive that such mass of power can
ever be used but for selfish ends.
Therefore they are genuinely alarmed.
The Listok actually speaks of a COM
bine on the continent to resist them. y

vAaf'T0N, ". Va. May ia man
giving his nome as Morris McRath
came to town Monday riding in rig
drawn by two white horses, and a
number of the inhabitants OF the town
are sorry he came. While the $50
mail was being distributed McRath
drew rein in front OF the postofice
building and patiently waited for the
crowd to file out, all the time rolling
up his sleeves and doing other things
to draw attention. 1t was not long
until, h" was surrounded by an open
mouthed crowd, and it was not long,
either, before the mysterious stranger
proceeded to business. He opened his
spell by saying that he was introduce
ing Doctor Somebody's new electric
belt, and that he meant to make a sale
II he had to give away money to do so.
He offered belt for three dollars, bur
no one bought; then for two, and still
NJ one wanted to invest. He then Of
fered
To Give a Ten Dollar Bill
to the first purchaser. A farmer step
ped forward and accepted the offer, re-
ceiving for two dollars an electrict
belt and a ten dollar greenback. The
crowd cheered the farmer and the lat
ter left town with a broad grin on his
face. Another man bought a belt and
was surprised to find q five dollar bill
neatly tucked inside. The crowd again
cheered and again somebody bought a
belt. The fakir took the price and
threw 1t into crowd of boys, who
went down after 1t with agility Bx
this tine everybody was huhbling over
with establishment, and EXPLANATIONS of
surprise. Men who had never before
been known to bite on a faltir's
wares bought electric belts just to see
the price thrown into the street The
heather McRath then began to get bold
and asked If there was a man in the
crowd who would volunteer to make
him
A Present of Ten Cents
A young man preferred him two nick
les, which were thrown to the crowd. He
then asked for quarter, then a half.
then dollar. and then five dollars. and
threw them to the four winds as fast
as received. Everyday was picking
up money and passing it back to the
man with the grip. And so the game
went on. The throng constantly in
creased In numbers and excitement
ran so high that when "the man with
the grip" asked that each and every
man give him all the money they had
they actually ran over each other in
their haste to bestow their dollars and
cents on the central figure of the mob.
Then they surged back and waited for
him to toss out the coins. But he
didn't do it, Instead of that he chuck
ed about five hundred dollars in cash
into an open box that was convenient
ly located in the front part of the rig.
sprang TO the seat, tipped his hat and
smiled, and
The Next Moment He was Gone.
Some pinched themselves to see if they
were awake, and others kicked them
selves for biting on fake. The next
man who comes to town with some
thing to sell will be eyed with some
suspicion and will probably not meet
with much success.

CUMBERLAND. Md, May 1.-two
other mining companies this afternoon
secured injunetions against the min
ers union officials and many hundred
alleged intimidators, and the sheriff
and his deputies left here tonight to
serve the writs.
It is now feared that the attempt to
break the strike Monday will have a
serious ending. The organization IL
laying its plan to defeat the injunc-
tions, and according to reports frcm
reliable sources. are going to make a
bold move. 1t is alleged that 1000
union miners from Pennsylvania and
West Virginia viii arrive in the min.
ing regions Monday morning prepared
to resist all efforts on the part of the
operators TO put their men to work.
1t is said that those who have been
enjoined will remain at home and leaya
matters in the hands OF the men from
the other States. In the event Of aid
from outside territory, the operators
will go to the United States Court and
secure an injunction.
The mine officials have been very.
busy since they learned what steps
have been taken by the operators. and
tonight are holding secret meetings in
all the mining towns. They are trying
to induce those who have declared
their intention of going to work 10 re-
frain from doing so.
The situation has reached such
serious State that the United States
troops will likely be called out before
the strike is settled.
