President Mitchell Says Strike Will End
When Mine Owners Post Notices of Ten
Per Cent Advance--Trouble at Wilkes
barre aud Scranton.
Hazelton. Pa. Oct. 23.-President
Mitchell, in an interview last night,
practically admitted that the anthra-
cite coal miners strike would end as
soon as the operators all posted a no
tice guaranteeing the advance of 10
per cent until April 1. President
Mitchell said:
1.-THE prospects of an early settle
ment of the coal strike is becoming
brighter Some of the operators have
not vet posted notice, signifying their
willingness to fall in line either with
the Reading company OF with the prop
osition made by the Lehigh Valley
company in the Hazleton region. If
all of them notify their miners by post
ing notices or otherwise that an actual
advance OF 10 per cent will be paid
each mine employe and guarantee its
continuance until April L, together
with the abolition of the sliding scale
l believe the terms would be accepted.
The reduction in powder from S2.l5
l. to $1.50 has confused the miners, but
as some of the operators have ex-
ceive the full advance of 10 per cent
| as we'll as all other employees, | believe
/ this obstacle can be overcome"

ton He studied law and was admitted to

paigning" the writer's, after mention
ing the unsanitary situation due to the
sWampy character of the country, ex-
posture to the sun and rain while
marching and fighting and the con-
slant strain on the nervous system
from being under the nightly fire of
the Filipino sharpshooters, says that
in his brigade of 8 ZOO men after the
first San Fernando campaign there
were ,004 sick or wounded. AS to the
2,307 on the firing line, the brigade
commander estimated that not 100
could march five miles under existing
conditions. In one of the regiments,
upon a careful medical examination,
of the $40 not reported sick only Go
were found in normal condition, 179
had a pulse rate of IS to 100 and 1911
ranged from 100 to 150" The COM
plant of the men was that after
moderate exertion they breathed very
rapidly and that any sudden noise up
set their nervous belance." 1t is made
clear that the nerves suffer, while
vigor diminishes, so that we are DOT
surprised at the large proportion Of
our soldiers who become insane. The
diseases that prevail are dysentery,
obstinate diarrhoea, typhoid fever,
rheumatism, malaria ''Washerman's
itch," it is added, exists in an ag-
gravated form, making marching i'm
possible, while boils and ulcers affect
the limbs from the irritation caused by

full" Upon the whole, the Philippines
are a sort of climate inferno for
American soldiers who have to CAM
paign under conditions almost sure to-
be fatal in their results.

A Bio Compromise.

A compromise of one of the most
complicated lawsuits in the civil
records of Mississippi was effected
last week The action was styled the
board of levee commissioners Of the.
Mississippi delta vs. the Yazoo and
Valley Railroad company,
and involved the title to 10000 acres or
land owned by the board in the delta
country under title from the liquidat-
ing 1evee board, and on which levee
taxes afterward accrued and the land
was disposed of at public cutlery. By
the terms of the compromise the levee
receives $125,000 from the railroad
company, and the title of the latter is,
forever quoted. The levee board also,
has a large number of suits against
based on the same grounds,
and it is expected that these will be
shortly compromised The terms Of
the compromise with the railroad were
authorized by bill passed at the
recent session of the legislature to.
which both of the concerns at interest
had previously agreed.

For Woman's Eye.

A person with a mathematical mind
recently announced that in pro-
gramme of twenty waltzes, four pokas
and two quadrilles dancer covers
nearly twelve miles. Young women
should make a note of this, so that
when old fogy parents advise sweeping
as an exercise they can triumphantly
quote the mathematician to prove that
dancing excels it by far.
That children tall for their ages are
generany born in the summer is a
novel theory. AS far as boys alone
are concerned, those who first see
light during autumn and winter are
not so tall as those born in spring and
summer. Those born in November
are the shortest, in July the tallest.
Averages for girls show that those
born in winter and spring have less
length of body than those born in
summer and autumn. The tallest girls
are born in August.
Servant girls in Boston who read
Homer Goethe and Schiller are spoken

showed that while cook books of
various makes are the most common
all unusual. In two or three cases
history, either of the United States or
England, seemed to be preferred. In
one a philosophical critical work
and Schiller and the poems of Homer
were specified, and in one the
Cnautauqua course was followed.
Queen Victoria's Christmas present
of cake of chocolate to each of her
soldiers, that at the time everybody
wanted to make fun of, but which no
body quite dared to do, has had it's use.
1t may go down into history as a
means of life-saving on the battle
field. One man in South Africa the
other day was struck by a bullet that
might have gone straight through his
heart had it not been stopped by the
Queens cake of chocolate, reposing in
his breast pocket.
Someone has made the interesting
discovery that an overwhelming
majority of women who sing and play
at concerts are of dark complexion.
The proportion in this respect is, it is
said, far in excess of that of the dark

At a recent choral union concert there
were some $50 women in the choir,
and out of these, it is maintained.
there were not more than twenty fair
haired.
