M'LAUGHLIN WILL HELP 0oLBR.
Had a Talk with Him Regarding
the Nomination.

New York. Sept. 2.-The Times says
that Hugh Mclaughlin and Comptroller
Coer held a conference Saturday at MIR.
McLaughin's Brooklyn residence con-
cerning Mr.. Coler's candidacy for the
govcrnorship. The comptroller told the
Brooklyn leader that he was not can
didate for the nomination in the sense of
seeking it, but that 1t was only in answer
to what he believed was the public de-
mand for his nomination that he allowed
his name to be used ut all. Should he NOT
be nominated he would heartily support
the nominee OF the Democratic conven-
ton.
In reply the Brooklyn leader told
Comptroller Coler that he would urge Mr..
Coler's nomination on the state leaders
and would attempt to convince those
leaders not already convinced that he was
the strongest candidate and should be
nominated. Mr.. Mclaughlin also told
Mr. Coler that the reason Mr. Croker
and ex-senator Murphy opposed his can
didacy was that they looked upon him as
a factionist and that the candidate of a
faction could not be elected governor.
Mr.. Coler was also told some New York
leaders considered him a Hill man and
if elected would use his Office in the in
terests of the ex-senator against Tam
many Hall and some New York leaders.
Comptroller Coler's reply to this was
that ex-senator Hill had no claims on
him and that he was not Hill man or
anybody else's man.
Mr.. Mclaughlin then repeated to
Comptroller Coler that he would use his
influence with the state leaders and
would urge his nomination as the most
available candidate for governor. Mr.
Mclaughlin did not say whether he
would do this here or go to Saratoga at
the head of the Kings county delegation
and try to induce all the state leaders to
favor his nomination.

ing couple are at the Hotel Iroquois.

acres of Pennsylvania oil lands and much
real estate in this city. The bride was
Miss Frances Hanlon. She is 1S years
old and the daughter of Patrick Hanlon
of Lewiston, Pa, another oil magnate. A
few weeks ago George, who had known
Miss Hanlon from childhood, asked her
fathers consent to their marriage. The
answer did not suit Mr.. Hyde at all. He

CIGAR STRIKE ENDING. 'e-:s ss
Much Money and Time Lost by Both
Sides In the Struggle.

New York. Sept. 2-The big cigar
makers strike. the most important both
in the number Of persons involved and in
duration in the history of organized labor
in this city, is drawing to close. 1t is
not ended yet, but after a fight of ~
weeks two members of the cigar manu-
tacturers' combination have broken away
from their association and surrendered
unconditionally to the strikers.
The 800 employees of the Hillson Cigar
company returned TO work on last Mon
day, and the 30 employees of Mccoy "
Go. will take up their tools again and be-
gin work as unionists, recognized as such
by their employers.
The strike has involved 10000 persons
in this city aud has spread to Philadel7,
phia, Lancaster Pa; York, Pa, and Nc
SheTytown, Pa. where about 5000 more
workers have been called out in branch
factories operated by members Of the
manufacturers combination.
1t has cost the cigalmakers' interna-
tional union about 100000, and the cost
to the manufacturers they themselves
cannot attempt to estimate Their facto-
rics have been idle for six months, and
much of the trade lost i'll that time has
been driven to other firms and to other
cities and can never be regained.

VIII Keep Her Troops In Picking
Until China Comes to Terms.


London. Sept. 2.-The continued alb
sence of news from peliing, the latest
dispatches from the Chinese capital being
now ten days old, is arousing some anx-
iety, but as the country between Peking
and the coast is known to be swarm
ing with armed bands of Boxers it is
not surprising that couIiers are not able
to reach Tien-tsin. Shanghai reports
are to the effect that heavy French re-
endorsements are landing at Taku. Ii
Hung Chang, it is stated, has told a di-
plomatist that Russia. considering the mis-
sion to Peking accomplished has agreed
to request the powers to follow her eX-
ample and withdraw their ministers and
troops. The French consul, however, de-
clares that such request to France is
entirely improbable.
A special dispatch from Berlin says it
is reported that Germany has rejected
the Russian proposal for the withdrawal
OF the troops and has made a counter
proposal that Russia shall retire, leaving
the other powers to follow their own
course.
According to a news agency's reports,
there is not much doubt in London Off
cial circles as to the attitude of Eng
land 1t is pointed out that the with
drawal from peking at the present mo.
ment without definite understanding
with the Chinese government would be
simply conrting recurrence of recent
events. No undertaking by Ii Huna
Chang would compensate for the diff
culties of further negotiations from the

Big Fee For Attending GoebeI.

Louisville, Sept. 2-One of the hand
soonest fees ever paid general practi-
toner for services in single case will be
received by DR.. j. n. Mccormack of
Bowling Green for his attendance upon
William Goebel after he was shot at
Frankfort. Arthur Goebel, brother Of
the dead governor and his devisee under
the will, has placed a claim against the
estate of Governor Goebel for $4,000
for DIR. McCormack's services. The
wound was a mortal one, and salt solu-
ton was used to replenish the blood lost
by hemorrhagcs. 1t was injected prompt
ly, and Dr. Mccormack and the other
physicians worked necessarily to insure
a prolongation of the patients life until
he could be sworn in as governor of Ken
lucky, although they realized that the
wounded man must die. When Arthur
Goebel arrived, he requested DIR. McCor-
mack TO remain in Frankfort with his
brother and not return to his practice in
Bowling Green. The doctor willingly
consented to do so, and until Goebel died
he worked with him night and day.

A WORKER AND THINKER.

If the American citizen is to be identi-
fed by some one national trait of char
acter more than any other we think II
should be as an inventor of labor saw
ing machinery. A very large proper
ton OF all the labor saving machinery
in use in the world today is the result
of the dislike which the American citi-
zen has for hard manual labor. Give an
Irishman, a German or an Englishman
hard job of manual labor to perform
and each will dig away at 1t stolidly,
persistently and patiently, just as his
father always did; while an Amerl-
can, given the same work to do, will be
studying all the time he works to in
vent some other and easier way in
which to accomplish the same results,
and he generally succeeds. In en-
cheering problems-earth and rock ex-
cavating and handling, in all forms OF
transportation, In mining and the
handling of the products of the mine,
in manufacturing of all kinds and in
the use Of machinery for agricultural
purposes, the inventive genius of the
American has wrought out miracle
of economy and effectiveness 1t is
difficult to estimate what the world
owes to this man who thinks while he
works
