u. NJ. w. Meetings.

Meetings of mine workers were held
during the week throughout the re-
gion-all largely attended. AT Eek
hart it was held Tuesday evening, in
Frostburg Thursday evening. Promi-
nent speakers of the order delivered
addresses.
1t is quite generally believed the
coal companies will fix the price for
mining at % cents per ton, beginning
April |. Wages of other mine workers
will be increased probably in the same
ratio-about - per cent.
Later-An announcement to the
employees of the seven leading COM
panies of the region was posted Thurs
day. After explaining reasons for
inability heretofore to advance wages
it states
that on and after April |, 1900, the price
of mining at our mines will be advanced from
45 cents to 80 cents gross ton of 224O pounds,
with an advance to other labor.
1t is gratifying to note that this is the high
est rate that has been paid in this region for
the past Is years and we hope that present
trade conditions will continue, so that it can
be maintained.
In conclusion, we wish to express our ap-
probation of the miners who, as requested by
lis in our first statement, took the pains to
study the situation therein described, and
who, guided in their actions by their own
judgment and discretion, and, trusting in our
assurances, have reaped benefit which could
not have been obtained by other means.
At the meeting in Meats Opera
House Thursday evening William
Warner delivered au address charac-
terized by auditors as replete with
good sense and tone. He criticized
with some severity, however, few re-
marks of Mr.. Lord, reported by the
Baltimore 4mericR. The sentiment
of the audience appeared to favor de-
clining the advance of 10 cents and
demanding Is.

Twelve pretty hogs marched up

stimulate diphtheritic conditions by
selling to owners of hOg-pens. The

Not Wanted Here, Though Needed.

The Baltimore World says
Baltimore is in urgent need of fool-kller.
The World lays out quite a job for
him, too, classifying the fools who
need killing as "Pharisees, Aminadab
Sleeks and Uriah Heeps."
Frostburg is not so populous, but
there are at least three here who could
be spared from the community without
ever being missed.
1t is not lawful, however, to kill
fools. The JOURNAL, therefore, re-
quests all reformers engaged in that
sort Of social "expurgation" to stay
away from Frostburg.
1t is poor privilege to be allowed
to hope for the best, but it is all that
long sufferlng people can exercise.

The JOURNAL has not time, space
nor inclination to respond to anybody
masquerading as "a Miner" further
than to say this:
Some time ago it challenged real
miners to show up one single disn-
terested act in their behalf J. Bull
Williams ever did.
Especially, what was his attitude to-
ward the labor movement of 1891?
No response has ever come to these
challenges, and as it is maxim in
law that he who comes into court with
hands, the JOURNAL. wants to learn
from the minerS-not from }. Bull, nor
the Forum, but from the miners what he
ever did for them, or even what good
word he ever said for them 6etore he had

The steady decrease of the fur seal is
recorded. The number killed Upon the

mention is made of the reindeer indus

influx of white men is creating a great
demand for deer that have been trained
TO harness, and attention is called to the
rapidly growing fox-farming industry

tary of the interior for the support OF
