is to hold a convention.
The Stove Founders National De-
tense association, whose representa-
tives have been in session in Atlanta,
Ca, for two days with delegates from
the Iron Molders' Union of North Am
erica, have agreed to advance the prices
paid molders Is per cent over the fig
ures in effect in 1898. The result
means increased wages to about 10000
iron molders in all parts of the United
States.
Mr.. ]. P. Loomis. one of the largest
operators in the Silver Creek CO., min
ing district, said recently: 1T is out
of the question for operators in this
district to pay more than do operators
in other districts. My opinion is that
the operators will close their mines in
preference to yielding to the men. Min
ing is conducted at disadvantage in
the Masillon district, compared with
other districts in the state. by reason
of the deposits being much smaller"
The American Tobacco company dis
charged it's entire list of 500 employees,
men and women, from its cigar fac
tory in New York city. and 1t will
move its plant to its factories in Rich
mond, Va; Baltimore, Md; Cincinna-
ii. O., and Lancaster, Pa. Manager
Gordon of the factory said that the
shutting down was on account Of the
expenses. Labor is too expensive
here he said. "and we can get it
cheaper in the other places"

The state of health of one of our two
surviving ex-Presidents was the sub
tect Of numerous newspaper para
graphs a few weeks ago. Neither Of
the two has yet reached the average
number of years attained by ex-Presi-
dents from Washington to Arthur.
Washington's brief life after he left
the presidency was longer than that OF
Polk or of Arthur, for in the June fol-
lowing the close Of his chief magis-
tracy Polk was dead, and Arthur sur
vived his retirement less than two
years. John Adams lived twenty-five
years as ex-President, and his son,
John Quincy Adams, showed for near
ly nineteen years how Importantly a
former chief magistrate may serve his
country. Van Buren, and Fillmore sur
vivsd the presidency twenty-one years;
Madison, nineteen years; Jefferson and
Tyler, seventeen years; Pierce, twelve
years, and Hayes nearly as long.

The project for building a new ia
cade to the cathedral Of Milan, which
has been at the point of execution for
fourteen years, is receiving so much
opposition that 1t is not impossible
that it may be abandoned. The old
facade struck a discordant note, but
many of its details were fine. AS the
bequest which was to largely pay the
cost OF the construction of the facade
was to revert to the great hospital
at Milan If the construction was not
begun within a certain time, 1t is
probable that the Milaneee public will
not regard the loss of a new facade a
serious matter.

The Kansas Supreme court In the
case of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railway Company against
l. P. Campbell has handed down de-
cision holding the act OF the legfsla-
ture requiring railroads to furnish free
transportation to shippers Of live
stock to be unconstitutional. The
court was unanimous and its decision
reverses both the Appellate court and
the Sedgwick county district court
The court says: This is depriva-
ton of property without due process Of
law and denial Of the equal protection
OF the laws, and is, therefore, uncon-
stitutionai and void under the four
teenth amendment to the constitu-
ton" The railroads have furnished
shippers Of one car load free transpor-
tation to market, the shippers paying
their fare home. For two car loads or
more the shipper is carried free both
ways. This is the rule which has been
observed for years and is now in force.
The populist legislature Of 1897 passed
tho law declared unconstitutional. II,
provided that shippers Of one car loao
should be carried free both ways.

Senator Depew estimates that fully
one-half of all charitable efforts are
productive Of more harm than good.
They increase pauperism, and encour-
age paupers to remain paupers. The
worst form that charity can take is
when it pauperizes the recipient" The
estimate of one-half of all charity
being evil may seem startling; posi-
bly it is exaggerated If true it is still
no argument against continuance of
charitable effort. No less benevolence,
but more discretion in manifesting it,
Is the rule suggested. The charity that
encourages self-help is always good.

WOMAN CARRIER.
Fayette County Pa, Has an Unique
Distinction In Uncle Sans Service.

CoNNELLsvILLE. Dec. 81. There
are few women in the United States
who contract with Uncle Sam to de-
liver his mail matter over the drearv
way of the ''star routes those sec
tions OF the country supplied from
offices located in the towns or larg
er villages. But Mary Butlef,a col
ored girl, has this distinction in
Fayette county. She does the wos k
OF a man over one of the dreariest
routes in this county, and she
does it well, too. Neither her youth
nor her color interfere with the duty
that she believes is a sacred t,ust,
and the patrons along her route
have implicit faith in her.
Mary Butler accepted the delivery
OF the mail from UnIontown TO jun
onville, a mountain settlement six
miles from the Fayette county CAPT
tai, in the dead of the winter a year
ago. A blizzard with swapping
frost aud heavy fogs of vapor that
stood in the hollows aud made dis
NAL place OF the vacant valleys,
swept over the region from the
foughiogheny to the erests of the
Allegheny mountains. 1t was then
that the sub contractor on the route
from Uniontown To Jnmonville,
thoroughly Disguised with the hard
ships lie had to endure and unable
to get any other person to take the
work under his name, threw up the
contract.
Mary Butler was only 18 years
old, but she had courage and wanted
the $40 year. She made applica-
tion for the position. She was not
worried by many rivals for the job
and in due time got it. Since that
time she has not missed a single
day. Rain. snow, sleet, heat and
hail have no terrors for her. She
makes that trip to Jumonville from
Unlontown and returns, at o'clock
from the county capital, in spite OF
every inciemency of the weather and
WI aods0i diOHS buS WHY QUE
goes six miles to the top of the
mountain and back to Uniontown
the same evening, and then has a
long way to go to her o3n home, SO
that she really covers the route three
times day instead of twice.
Sometimes she drives and some
times she walks. In the winter
months she usually leaves her horse
at Cool Spring Hollow, and, board
ing the street cars there, rides into
Uniontown. The route which she
covers is lonely one. However
Mary has never been beset by high
waymen, because the mail matter
she usually carries would not repay
any bandit or robber for the trouble
he would make for himself by at
lacking one of the guardians of I'M
Gle Sans mail. The girl is large
and strong for her ace.

Mrs. Gray and H. C. Blaney Have
Retained.

Several weeks ago Fl. c. Blaney,
OF this place, and Mrs. Alfred GRAY,
from Monongalia county, left their
families and no one seemingly knew
of their whereabouts says "a special
from Fairmont. A note was left at
the home of each of them before their
departure, outlining, it is said, their
intentions, but did not state in what
direction they expected to travel.
They left it is thought, on the same
train, and Oh Tuesday of this week
there turned along with their daugh
tiers, who accompanied them. Mrs.
Gray is now again with her family
at Little Falls, Monongalia county,
and Blaneyis with his family on the

Whatever may be said of the scien

able fact that specific warnings Of
every great storm, flood, cold wave
and drouth, have been plainly print
ed in his now famous Almanac for
many years. The latest startling
proofof this fact was the destruc-
tion Of Galveston, Texas, on the very
day named by Prof Hicks in his
1900 Almanac. as oae of disaster by
storm along the gulf coasts The
1901 Almanac, by far the finest,
most complete and beautiful vet
published, is now ready. This re-

pages, splendidly illustrated with

For WOrkmen.

Twenty five new houses will be
needed for the new men who are to be

the owners Of the plant. There isn't

pie that want to come here. For
several years there has been famine
in houses and the town has been held
back in its progress on that account.
These houses should be started at
once. They will be needed in the
early spring as the addition to the
factory will be put up as soon as the
season opens and the men will want
to come here Immediately. There are
none here now who can take the places
that will be open.
Fifty thousand dollars is to be
spent In building this addition to the
factory on Beechurst and there will be
one hundred and twenty five more
people employed.

TWO CENTS
AN OIL QUEEN.
Tyler County Woman Has Struck 1t
Rich

West Virginia oil developments OF
the past few weeks have produced
what the operators are pleased to call
an roll queen She is Mrs Mary
lhrig, formerly Of Sstersville, now
living in the Tyler county tield, where
her yenturesone spirit and good luck
netted her an oil income that has
been averaging about $1,000 week
for a month. Mrs. Ihrig was former
" engaged In the shoe business at
Slstersville, and it was while living
ia that busy town OF oil and oil mach
nations that SHE developed the speeu-
latiye fever.
Her shoe business was not very sue
cessful and she began to dabble In
oil Several small ventures are said
to have netted her enough to make
her confident and willing to undertake
the development of the most uncer-
tain "wild cat territory In the state.
She secured control OF a large slice of
new territory in the upper end OF Ty-
Ter county, and, regardless OF the head
shakes and discouraging words OF her
friends, she went into the field for &C.
tive operations. Several months ago
she contracted for the drilling of a
well on her land. A series of mishaps
prevented the completion OF the job
until Dec. 4, when the drill touched
a pocket Of oil, and IA small gusher re-
suited. Tha flow was pretty heavy at
first, but has since settled down to
about $50 barrels a day, with every
prospect that the output will be main
tained.
The strike is the opening wedge In
territory that will prove to be very
valuable. Mrs. Ihrig is preparing to
put down other wells just as soon as
rigging can be hauled to her property.
The woman Spectator has located
several spots upon which her agents
will begin drilling as soon as possible.
She has purchased handsome home
at Pafkcrsburg and Will likely direct
her new interests from that point.
