NO FURTHER CONCESSIONS.
Operators Say Miners Must Accept the
Ten Per Cent. OFFER.

SCRANTON. Pa. Oct. 9.-Interviews
with prominent operators here to-day
elected a uniform declaration that no fur
ther concessions or notifications of the
present offer will be made and that the
miners must take II or leave it just as 1t
stands. They say it is plain and complete
and contains all they can or will concede.
The 10 per cent. increase means that every
man In the anthracite mines Is to have
81 10 for the work for which he formerly
received 81, the operators say. The powder
Item is simply matter of bookkeeping. In
stead of giving the miners 10 per cent. in
crease fiat, he will have his credit side in
creased say per cent. ond from his debit
side will be subtracted per cent, or what
ever percentage of expense IL is found the
difference in the cost of his powder
amounts to. The purpose is simply to put
an end to the bowling about powder be-
ing sold at exorbitant prices Powder Is
the basis of the wage scale, II is explained,
and to decrease its cost is to increase the
wages. In this region a decrease of 1.25
in keg OF powder means per cent. de-
crease in the miners expenses. Therefore
when he has expenses reduced per cent
he has his wages increased a like amount
The other per cent. will be made up by
increasing the allowance per car for cut
ting and loading. Where a miner gets 81
a car he will. under the new scale, get
81 .03 Is cents a car. His net earnings will
be the same whether he gets the increase
fat or by figuring on the decrease on
powder.
The fact that coal is high and that the
demands of individual operators for bet
ter allowances will keep it high is sug-
gested as a reason why those working un-
der the sliding scale should not worry
about being juggled out of their increase.
The further fact that the operators do not
want strikes and that they realize the
union mine workers organization is here to
stay. will. 1t is pointed out. have a ten
dency to dissuade any double dealing on
the part of the operators even If they were
inclined TO do thing of this kind.
All arrangements for to-morrow's big
parade and mass meeting are now COM
plete. Fully 10000 will be I'm the parade
and IL is estimated $1,000 persons will as
semble to hear President Mitchell and
others speak. The national officers come
here tomorrow and will remain here till
after the convention and possibly till the
strike Is settled.

here the best rat traps for little rats, but
the trust is far more dangerous rat than
your traps catch. and Republican genius
has thus far invented no remedy. The
trust rat eats its way into every house.
Militarism Is another rat that the Repub-
lican party seems disposed to turn loose
rather than to catch. 1t will devour the
substance of the people and steal away
many a boy from his mother. Imperialism
is still another rat which not only preys
on the material substance of the country.

part Of the anthracite coal field do not
speak as hopefully tonight of a settlement
of the strike by the Scranton convention as
they did yesterday. Some of those inter
viewed are afraid the offer Of 10 per cent
increase of wages by the companies may
not last long and that after the men are
back at work for a while, and the market
is pretty well supplied, the operators may
reduce wages to the old figures. 1t is only
fair TO say. however. that not all the
United Mine Workers are OF this opinion.
There is strong sentiment prevailing that
the companies are sincere and that the
increase in wages will be permanent.

from Manager Shinn was read, stating his
inability to get together a winning team
and the financial reverses that he has to
run up against this season, caused him to
send in his resignation to the League.
After much discussion the League &C.
cepted Shinn's resignation, On a motion
that the Burlington management had not
lived up to the requirements of the
League, it was moved that the franchise
in the hands of j. P. Shinn be forfeited
and his bond be held to collect all his in
debtedness to the League. This was un
animously passed. If the amount is less
than the bond the balance will be returned
to him. The League does not propose to
drop Burlington from its circuit, but in
tends to reorganize the team and event
ually to strengthen the club, so that it can
successfully cope with the other teams.
On a motion that met with hearty approval
of all it was decided that the League was
to take the Burlington team under its
wing for time until the franchise could be
disposed of to some interested though re-
liable parties. A committee of three was
appointed to manage the team until dis
posed of, as follows: A. Austermuhl, F.
Smith and R. B. Beath. The Burlington
game that was to have been played in
Millville Saturday night was. on the vote
of the League, forfeited to Millville. Be
ginning to-day, however Burlington will
start anew, and the original schedule will
be played out.

acter actor, will present his very success
full musical rural comedy drama, Down
on the Farm" at the Opera House on
Thursday, December 10. Down on the
Farm" is described as being one of the
most fascinating plays ever produced,
with the attractive theme of New England
country life for its subject, and has been
warmly received in all the large cities of
the United States, and its strong dramatic
effects have been most highly commended
The company supporting Mr. Manley is
very able one, composed of metropolitan
favorites who have been selected for their
especial adaptability to the parts assigned.
The company is one of the ablest now on

ticular mention, being very strong.

Burlington basket ball team met with
another defeat on Tuesday evening, when
Bristol was victorious by the score of 10

announced his intention of taking the
team out of the League. He says certain
promises were made to him by the head OF
the League in which he was to be given
chance to get players who would strength
en- his team, but the other clubs have all
been favored while Burlington has been
compelled to put up with anything In
his statement Shinn is corroborated by the
sporting editors of several papers, and
the opinion seems to prevail that he was
justified in withdrawing.

Don't Buy Wet Lime.

May 1st, 1899, put lump of dry lime
weighing IA ounces in box and put it on
the top of desk in my Office where it re-
manned until September 18th, 1899, when
the lime weighed twenty and four-tent1s
ounces, gain of over one-fourth of its
original weight. The lime had fallen into
small Jumps and the gain was aoGter, which
it had absorbed entirely from the air in a
dry room. This means that you buy over
four ounces of water with every 16 ounces
of fallen lime, peck of water with a
bushel of lime. You buy much more
water as the lime you buy has not been
kept in dry room, but under an open
shed, where it is exposed to the dampness
at night and to stormy weather. Run Of
Kiln Lime" is dry and cheaper to buy-it
Stacks two bushels for one and you know
what you are getting. l sell run of kiln
