WARNED AGAINST MONTANA.
Pennsylvania Miners Advised Not to
Go to Butte

Go to lutte.
WILKESBARRE. Pa, Jan. S.-Former
County Treasurer John s. McGroaty is
back on visit to his old home here, aft
er spending two years in Montana He
from Montana.
Mr.. McGroaty says: "The sole industry
Of Butte is that of mining, and the smeit-
ing of gold, silver, and copper ores. Min
ers receive $3.50 and 81 for each day of
eight hours. The lowest wages paid for
any kind of labor is So per day But to the
miners of LuZerne county | would en-
phatically say do not let big wages tempt
you to try your fortune in Montana
have frequently seen as high as 1000 min
ers idle, standing about the streets, each
one anxious and willing to work, but un
able to find employment.
Il have known men to rustic three
months at time to obtain work and aft
er they had succeeded they found it hard
er than they could endure. At present the
operators are rushing the output OF their
mines and the bosses drive the workmen
TO the limit. The mines. are exceedingly
deep, and hot as the Internal regions Ad-
ded to this is the deadly copper water. Ac-
cidents are numerous, because OF the
treacherous nature of the roof and the in
discriminate use of high explosives The
Pennsylvania coal miner would be at a
disadvantage. His experience here would
count for very little. The quartz mining
is altogether different from the mining of
anthracite, and he would have to learn
all over"

American manufacturers are recognizing
the opportunities here. Swift & Co. will
erect a coldstorage plant of large dimen-
sions. Representatives of the Baldwin Lo-
comotiye Works have just mounted some
locomotives and cars built for the Bra

sent engineers here to put up wipdniilfS, ice
plants. and various products of American
industry. Imports from the United States
into this port are increasing largely.
"A firm of hardware manufacturers In
Connecticut is steadily extending its trade
throughout the Amazon valley. The su-
perior quality of the goods is well estab-
ished. Steps. however, should be instantly
taken TO prevent foreign manufacturers |
using their name on goods of inferior |
quality. Travelling agents who t2Se been |
on both the Pacific and the Atlantic |
coasts report that these sharp practices |
are in evidence all over South America |
The same is true here in reference To red |
irills of certain American manufacturers, |
which foreigners initiate with an inferior |
laulity, using labels similar to these on |
American drills.
No effort is being made TO introduce !
American shoes. They would have large |
market if of light weight.

AN OBJECT LESSON.
In a Restaurant.

physician puts the query: Have you
never noticed in any large restaurant at
lunch or dinner time the large number of
hearty, vigorous old men at the tables;
men whose ages run from sixty to eighty
years; many of them bald and all perhaps
grey, but none of them feeble or senile?
Perhaps the spectacle is so common as to
have escaped your observation or comment
but nevertheless it is an object lesson
which means something.
If you will notice what these hearty old
fellows are eating you will observe that they
are not munching bran crackers nor gin
gerly picking their way through a menu
card of new-fangled health foods: on the
contrary, they seem to prefer a juicy roast
OF beef, properly turned loin of mutton.
and even the deadly broiled lobster is not
altogether ignored.
The point of all this is that a vigorous
old age depends upon good digestion and
plenty of wholesome food and not upon
dieting and an endeavor to live upon bran
crackers.
There is a certain class of food cranks
who seem to believe that meat, coffee, and
many other good things are rank poisons,
but these cadaverous, sickly- looking indi-
viduals are a walking condemnation of
their own theories.
The matter in a nutshell is that If the
stomach secretes the natural digestive
juices m sufficient quantity any wholesome
food will be promptly digested; if the stom-
ach does not do so, and certain foods cause
distress, one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets after each meal will remove all
difficulty because they supply just what
every weak stomach lacks, pepsin, hydro
chloric acid, diastase, and nux.
Stuarrs Dyspepsia Tablets do not act
upon the bowels and, in fact, are not
strictly medicine, as they act somewhat
entirely upon the food eaten, digesting it
thoroughly, and thus gives a much needed
rest, and giving an appetite for the next
meal.
OF people who travel, nine out of ten use
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, knowing them
to be perfectly safe to use at any time. and
also having found out by experience that
they are a safeguard against indigestion in
any form, and eating, as they have to. at
all hours and all kinds of food the travel
ing public for years have pinned their
faith to Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them at so cents for
packages, and any druggist from
Maine to California, If his opinion were
asked, will say that Stuartss Dyspepsia
Tablets is the most popular and successful
remedy for any stomach trouble.

TO FOUND A NEW ZION.
Followers of Dowie to Purchase n
Site on Lake Michigan.

| CHICAGO, Jan. S-John Alexander
Dowie is the leader of a sect which holds
a belief that Chicago has been so wicked
that destruction will overtake the city, and
not far away on the lake shore there will
arise a great religious city.
| So firm are they in the conviction that
they are to be founders of a new Zion that
they have chosen its site.
They have bought, or have an option up
on, 5000 acres of land near Waukegan,
Benton township. and there the future city
. is TO rise, where all men are to be pure
and good. II is asserted they have paid an
extravagant price, but, with the exception
of the farmers who have sold their lands,
or received money to bind the sale there is
great disappointment in the neighborhood.
The people had hoped that some great man
ufacturing city was to be started. probably
the Frick Rockefeller Steel Works
Ground is to be broken for a temple early
in May with impressive ceremonies. The
i'll are TO be healed. Dowie declares. and
the world is 10 receive its first revelation
Of what the modern Zion is 10 be- Later
the building of two factories. the industrial
beginning Of the city, is to begin. One is
to be for the making Of shoes and the other
is TO be a lace factory. which Dowie says
he Will bring TO the golden city" from
England.
Next on the programme will be the lay
ing of the cornerstone for the Temple of
Zion, and then there are TO be pertents in
the heavens. which may be read by all men
except those enclosed in the Chicago
streets, with their tall buildings. and even
they are 10 hear Of these things and go in
to the fields 10 see.
Three hundred and twenty acres OF the
tract front on the lake. and there Dowie
promises the commerce Of the world is soon
TO be centred. The original owners of the
land are TO be rich in this worlds goods,
and. no matter how much they spend in the
great generosity that will overcome them.
their funds are TO be exhaustless

THE JAPANESE ARMY.
COnscription and Universal Liability
to Military Service.
FIom the Army and Navy Journal.l

(From the Army and Navy Journal)
Conscription and universal liability to
military service has existed in Japan since
1877. The service is three years with the
colors. four more on permanent furlough
in the reserve of the active army, five
years in the landwehr of mobile militia
and the remaining eight years in the land
strum of sedentary militia. The young
Japanese who passed a certain educational
standard and engaged to feed and clothe
himself during his service is required to
serve for one year only. These young men
furnish a class of officers for the militia
Japan's system is also strictly terrific
rial like the German. The total num-
bers serving with the colors in 1898 were.
in round figures, 3.000 officers and 81 coo
non on-commissioned officers and men. But
the Japanese army is undergoing a con-
tinuous and steady increase. AT the end
of 1894 the numbers were 2 800 officers aad
60 GOO men; so that the strength was in
creased by more than % 900 men within
three years. This increase has been ef-
fected by gradually adding to the number
OF conscripts enrolled in each year.
1t is intended that the operation shall
be completed by 1901. by which time the
effective force of the army will have near
ly doubled itself. and will consist of forty
sauadrons. 40 field and mountain batter
les. and 156 battalions Of infantry. besides
pioneers and military train. mastering al
together $500 officers. 1900 noncommis-
stoned officers and 900 men, The terri
tories of the existing six divisions will be-
come army corps districts. each subdivided
into divisional. brigade. regimental. and
finally battalion districts. the last-named

Most of the Japanese staff officers have ac-
ouired their military education in Ger

to Prussian troops for purposes of instruc- !

A SHIP PUZZLES SAILORS.
The Unusual Rigging of the Olympic
Causes Much Wonder.

of Maiden Lane, Manhattan. loading for
San Francisco, to leave in week, is an
American vessel, the popularity of the rig
ging of which gives cause for much dis
cussion among deep-sea and 'longshore
iackies. Hot argument has so far failed
to satisfactorily class the rig of this ma
rine what is it?" or to settle the practical
merit of her sail and spar plan.
The most plausible sounding definition of
her above-deck arrangement was the ulti-
matum of a Gloucester fishing schooner
captain, who, after preliminary and WELL
aimed eXpectoration, announced that
"B'gosh, she's a double 'maphrodite brig.
an nuthin' else," That appears to be
about as near as anyone has yet been
known to come TO the rank of the vessel.
Certainly she is not four-masted ship:
nor yet four masted bark or barkentine
though surely she has four huge masts
This lime juice perplexity is named Olym-
pic, and the oddity in her rig Is that the
two forward masts are square rugged, while
the two after masts are arranged for fore
and aft sails with the customary schooner
single spar topmasts mounted above the
hounds.

The Olympic was the first vessel In the
world to be rigged as she is, although one
English bark since has been altered into
similar style. Captain Gibbs says that he
has found many advantages in the arrange
ment of the Olympic. For one thing, it
does away with the nuisance of using and
staysails; also, the vessel holds
very close to the wind with her fore and |
