Strike Is Practically On.

Scranton, Sept. 13.-The strike of the
anthracite miners OF the Lackawanna
valley is now practically on, for every
mine that is working is running short
handed. The Dodge and the Bellevue
collieries of the Lackawanna company
are entirely shut down. The Manyille
colliery worked only portion of the day,
and all through the upper valley there
was almost complete stoppage excepting
that the men obeyed the order of Nation
al Committeeman Dilcher and President
Nichols of this district to clean up their
places and remove their tools.
It is expected that soon not a mine will
be in operation anywhere between Forest
City and Shickshinny in this district, and
it is said at headquarters here that the
same is expected of the other districts.
The United Mine Workers officers here
deprecate all stoppages in advance. They
want the order properly carried out, but
will not restrain the men from immediate
action. They are assured that on Mon
day next there will be complete re-
sponse to the strike order.
At the offices of the Lackawanna com
pany it was stated today that the decision

Proceedings mt Utica, N. ", of the
State Federation of worlSingmen.
Utica, Sept 13.-At the session of the
State Federation of Workingmen among
the most important resolutions adopted
was one which protests against large
standing armies as being menace to the
liberties of organized wage earners and
heavy burden upon them" The resolu-
ton declares it to be the firm belief of
the federation that ''no contingency could
possibly arise that would warrant lar
ger army if the safe, wise and humane
course heretofore followed by our govern
ment were continued"
The resolution committee has reported
fayorably on the barbers' bill and on the
resolution calling upon congress to abol-
ish the ST per barrel tax on beer because
the burden of this tax is borne by the
working class. There was considerable
discussion upon the last resolution, but it
was finally carried.
A resolution Of sympathy for the strik-
ing cigar makers in New York was pass
ed. hit an amendment to contribute 5000
to their cause was voted down. Delegate
Harris. from the New York Cigar Max
ers' union, then arose and asked the vote
of sympathy he rescinded, saying that
sympathy without relief is like mustard
without meat"
A sharp discussion ensued, and Mr..
Harris predicted that the cigar makers
would have all the harder battle when
the word went out that the federation
had refused financial support.

London, Sept 13.-Lord Roberts re-
ports from AIachadodorp, under date of
Sept. -, that General French was heav-
ly engaged that day with the Beers in

commander in chief added that General
Hutton had gone to General French's

A dispatch from Pretoria says:
"l.ord Roberts has proclaimed martial
law over the entire Transvaal republic,
now known as the Naal River Colony.
The testimony of medical men here
generally is to the effect that the state

kroonstadt there was some extra suffer-
| ing when the pressure became great, ow-
ing to the lack of skilled orderlies, but
there was nothing to warrant Mr.. Bur-

General Roberts showed that in JAN
uary he ordered the cutting of the trans
port He had to march a large army
quickly through to get to the railway to
Bloemfonten. His policy was justified.
There was difficulty in coping with the
sick and wounded on the march. For the
| first 16 days the Bloemfonten supply
trains that arrived We're insufficient for
the daily requirements. Then they began
slowly to accumulate at reserve until
they had 45 days stock when they moved
| forward.
''All the time the enemy was massing
and threatening General Roberts com
munications. He ordered all possible
measures taken for the care of the sick
The wounded were sent down with the
least possible delay. General Roberts
frequently visited the hospitals and was
satisfied that the army and civil surgeons
did their duty WELL"

runs. They also scored two in the third
inning, but after that they were unable
to do very little with Guests delivery.

local team and accepted the only chance
that he had which was an exceedingly
hard one Two hard running catches by
Clarke and the second base playing of
NIelcher We're the features of the game.
Stackhouse and O'Brien also made sew
eral difficult stops of hard grounders.
Stannard lead the batting for the
local team making three singles. Muir

double. Nields Ellis and Guest did the
best hitting for the visiting team. Each
of them getting two hits.

ninth inning the Crescents were two
runs in the lead. Connor the first man
| up rot first on Buzby's error and went
TO third on wild throw by the same
player. Stricker then ordered Fox to 90
back and allow Conror TO score which
he did. Stackhouse the next hitter was
an easy out. but O'Brien made clean
two base hit between center and right.
With man or second base and only one
ont Brownson had good chance to tie
the score but Stannard and Murray the

One of the first men to reach San
Francisco with a hoard Of KlOndike
gold was an lrishman named Finue-
gan, who had been very poor before he
struck 1t rich, and who consequently
was unfamiliar with many ordinary
usages of life Of luxury.
"Oi say, yez kin bring me two dozen
eyesters," he said, alrily, as he took q
seat In one Of the finest restaurants In
Frisco.
The oysters were soon set before
him, and Finnegan, looking about him
for something to put on them, and
hardly knowing what the something
should be, spied bottle of TObasc0
and proceeded to season the bivalves
not wisely but too well.
Impaling an oyster upon his fork, he
thrust 1t into his mouth, then leaped
to his feet with terrific roar of pain
and began dancing about and yelling
like mailman.
"See herew cried the proprietor,
rushing to the table. keep still or III

would put me out" yelled Flnnegan.

the sorrow that had come to him while
the summer moon was shining and the
corn stood ripe In the fields. He had
done hard, fierce, terrible battle with Il.
1t stood there ever by his side; no one
had detected 1t yet-its presence was a
secret from everyone except himself. He
was stunned, daxed, and bewildered by
Il; still he did brave battle with 1t. He
looked at the invalid father, at the kindly
mother, at the 'army" Of little ones! there
was work to do and he must do It. The
home must be kept up, business attended
to; money must be made, the home must
not be neglected. Indulgence In sorrow
was not luxury for him.
Within a week after his farewell to
Violet the handsome face had grown so
haggard that 1t was hardly recognizable;
the kindly eyes had a wild. weird express
sion, as though he were always suffering
mortal pain; the ring had gone from his
voice, from his laugh; he was an altered
man. How he worked! He said to him
self that work was the only thing which
would keep him from going mad. Colder
and harder aud prouder he grew, shutting
himself and his sorrow In Icy reserve; and

that she sent for Evelyn.
