Washington Letter: Among the
younger members OF the house OF rep
resentatlves there Ia none who gives
promise OF greater permanent useful
ness than william H. Moody OF Massa-
chusetts This Is really Mr.. Moody's
second term in congress He was first
elected TO al out few months OF the
uneXpired term Of Gen. Cogswoll, but
had little opportunity thea to do much
more than look around and get his
bearings which he did TO very good
purpose, Mr.. Moody was first chosen
In his own right to the Fitty-iifth con
gress, and down in the Essex district
they now say that he can stay In con
gress Just as long as he likes.
There Is nothing sensational or SUI
pernclal about Moody. lie ia Ne hard a
working and as thorough-going a man
as there is In public life today lie
always inspires confidence. and that Is
something which must be OF the ut
most value to any man who maps out
for himself political career. no mat

when Moody FIRST came to Washing

pose OF making himself thoroughly IA

and for months devoted himself solely
to this task. lie deliberately resisted

Heir TO the Throne Stands Above

As may be imagined from a glance
at this picture, the crown prince OF
Germany, who has just come OF age. is
n little too big TO be laid conveniently
over the imperial knee and caned. He
IL taller than his father Yet In tne
past. that punishment has been admin

Wilhelm before he grew to mans es-

training Is extremely strict. and the
empress shares the training yolun-
tarily. In summer the lads are out OF

hour later they have their FIRST meal

meal the mother Is present Al 8

Al home in Massachusetts he ranks
high as lawyer and during the long
reeesses OF congress he deyotes him

never a time when he Is not stddylng

himself more thoroughly for his public
duties. During one long recess he car
rled homo all the books he could find
on parliamentary usage and when he
came back for the next session he was
so thoroughly grounded in that most

Runners, Drivers and Door Boys at
Won Storch Were Idle Yester-
day but Galleries Were Not.

The runners, drivers and door boys
at the Won Storch Marvine. Leggetts
Creek and Dickson mines of the Della
ware and Hudson company, in North
Scranton, went on strike yesterday
morning for an increase in wages. as
decided at n meeting held on Tues
day night
There were about 600 men and boys
who went on strike and this number,
with the 800 already out at Olyphant,
makes total of about 900 now on
strike. The breakers of these four
mines We're running yesterday break
ing the coal mined on Wednesday
and the miners and laborers went in
and cut coal.
the strikers maintain, however that
the miners and laborers will refuse
to work If new men are putr.in to
handle the cars. The strikers Y Osted
pickets around the mines and succeed
ed in dissuading all the runners and
drivers who started out. from going
into the mines. Everything was done
in an orderly manner and there were
no scenes of disorder.
The strikers have appointed n COM
mittee which will have entire charge
of the strike. and which will make
its headquarters at Leonard's hall.
superintendent Rose, of the Della
ware and Hudson, stated yesterday
that no committee from the strikers
had as yet waited upon him. He re-
iterate1 his statement made before,
that the wages of none of the men
had been cut, as the strikers allege.
He said that the COmpanV could not
afford to allow the increase asked by
the men on account OF the condition
of the anthracite coal trade.
