Wnlch Occurr"d6on. the 9th inst, leaves
only two Of Brigham Youne's wives in

her lecturlng tour and who is now liy-
ing In LITTLE Wisconsin town. and
Amelia Folsom. the last and favorito
wife OF Brigham Young, who lives in
Salt Lake City.
Mrs. K niiy Dow Partridge Young
occupied ii unique place in the history
OF the Mormon church. Sac WAS the
only woman who was ever the wife of
two presidents OF the ccclss tactical
body: Her first husband was Joseph
Smith, the original prophet, seer
and revoiator" Of Mormonism. Sh,.
married tho "prophet in Nsuvoo,
ILL.,, shortly after the "rovelation" per.

by Smith.

one OF the most devoted adherents OF

had met Brigham Young, who had

leaders of the church. AS In tho case
OF Smith, Young was already married,
but he, too. was desirous OF other wives,
He proposed to Mrs. Smith and she
married hip. Later she crossed tho

him had many children. TO Mrs,

on the church. Sho firmly believed
that tho glory Of % man In the celestial

EcZEMAS
IRON IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor lie
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
fammation; little pustular eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fssured. Eczema in any
form is tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.

that the increase will be kept in fore,
for fixed length of time, others wan,
the union recognized before they vii
accept the proposition, while not {
few insist upon concessions in thu
other grievances.
The belief is general that in the alb
sence of any uniform instruction,
among the delegates chance of 9
settlement oy this convention Is
rather slight. 1t is the impression OF
several labor leaders that at least q
second convention will have to be held
before any definite action will be
taken looking toward an early ending
of the contest.
President Mitchelfs remarks al
Wednesdays mass meeting, in which
he told the mine workers that the
ten per cent. was not satisfactory and
that they ought to make concessions
in the other grievances, is taken by
many persons as hint to the miners
to reject the mine owners offer. Mr.
Mitchell, however, denied this and said
he had no intention of influencing the
men one way or another. He said he
was merely yoicing the sentiments of
himself, his colleagues and the many
strikers with whom he has come in
contact during the past week.
The convention, as near as the
United Mine Workers officials can
figure, will consist of about 700 dele
gates About half of this number are
now here, most of them coming from
the Schuylkill valley and the Halle
ton region. The district headquarters
were crowded all day by the visiting
delegates.
Convention NAV Not End the Strike.
Shamokin, Pa, Oct 19--Delegates
from Springfield, Locust Gap and
Mount Carmel left here for Scranton
yesterday evening accompanied by a
few from this place. The Lykens val
ley men will demand the ten per cent.
increase. semi-monthly pay and the
price OF powder reduced, the latter
not to come out of the advance in
wages. The Shamokin valley men
also want the same, together with the
abolishment of the Readings sliding
scale and recognition of the union.
The Centralia and Schuvlkill valley
delegates will make their greatest
fight for the adjustment of the slid
ing scale. Everything remains quiet
between Trevorton, this place, and
Mount Carmel. 1t is generally be-
lieyed by miners here that the CON
vention will not end the strike, the
miners fearing that the operators will
not even guarantee the ten per cent.
increase for one year. If they do not
the Shamokin men say they will re-
main away from the mines all winter.
What w'lke.b,rre Mlnsrs Demand.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 12.-The
Wilkesbarre assemblies of the United
Mine Workers held meetings yesterday
and instructed the delegates to the
Scranton convention to insist on the
following demands. Recognition of
the union, powder reduced to $1.50, ten
per cent. general advance, two weeks
pay, check docking boss, and con-
tract signed by the companies agree
ing to the above to hold good for
one year.
The representatives of the big coal
companies here, when shown the list
of grievances which the miners of the
valley insist upon the con-
vention enforcing, said there would
be no settlement of the strike on
such basis. They say the demands
are too sweeping and that the COM
panies could not think of granting
them.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 13,-Eight hun
dred and fifty-seven miners who hold
in their hands the power to end or
to continue the anthracite coal min
ers' strike, which has been in progress
for more than three weeks, met in
convention here yesterday for the
purpose of considering the ten per
cent. net advance in wages offered by
the operators and adjourned until to-
day without taking any action on
their employers proposition. Both
of yesterdays sessions were devoted
to organizing the convention and
speeches by many of the delegates on
the mine owners concessions. 1t was
not expected that anything would be
done yesterday outside of general
exchange of views. The convention,
after it was permanently organized,
went into secret session. but it was
learned from authoritative sources
that nothing of definite nature was
suggested which would lead to a So
luton of what is, to the miners, a
knotty problem.
From the trend Of the remarks of
the delegates it was gathered that the
ten per cent. proposition as It now
stands has very little chance of being
accepted. The delegates seemed, it
was learned, almost unanimous that
the operators should first make con-
cessions in the other grievances be-
fore the INCREASE is accepted by the
mine workers. Great stress was laid
on the necessity of abolishing the
sliding scale and substituting there.
for tonnage basis on which TO fix
the rate of wages. The proposition
OF having the operators guarantee a
fiyed time for paying the advance ives
also thoroughly discussed, while not
a few delegates said they would be
satisfied with nothing but more lib
eral increase in wages.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 12.-The con-
vention of the anthracite miners now
on strike throughout the entire hard
coal fields in Pennsylvania will con-
vene in this city to-day for the pur-
pose of considering the ten per cent.
net increase in wages preferred them
by nearly all the mine operators in
the region. What the outcome of the
convention will be is all matter of
speculation and the opinions ex-
pressed last night by labor leaders
were widely divergent. The delegates
to the convention, who began arriv-
ing yesterday, have all sorts of instruc-
tions from their local unions on the
proposition of the operators. 1t was
learned that most of them now on the
ground will vote to reject the ten per
cent. increase unless the operators
make further concessions. Many of
the miners will not favor the advance
