for US received a fair days pay for

question Of company stores, weighing

bearing whatever upon them as EN-

SCRANTON TO HAVE
BIG PURE FOOD SHOW
Present Indications Point to an Ex-
hibit Of National Interest.
AT JONAS LONGS SONS STORE.
The Event Begins Oct. 13, and Con-
tinues for an Entire Month-Al-
most Every State IN the Union
will Be Representations Hundred
Varieties of Food on Exhibition.

The manufacturers of food products
throughout the United States make a
point every year to give an exhibition
of their product in at least three diff
ferent sections Of the country. Almost
every maker of Pure food of any re-
nown is represented in the enterprise,
and the events are of really national
Importance. for they bring together a
vast congress of exhibitors and ac-
quaint the public for many miles
around with what is best to eat and
drink.
Scranton. fast growing to be one OF
the chief commercial centres in the
country, Is to be fortunately favored
with one of these three exhibitions this
year. The other two take place in
Pittsburg this state, and in Boston,
Massachusetts. Thus again does the
| Electric City demonstrate its capability
to grasp from it's bigger cities these
rich prizes of honor.
For some time past the various man.
ufacturers have been in correspondence
with representative people here, and
their representatives who have been
| looking over the ground have deter
mined on utilizing the basement of
ment store for the occasion. Its real
| area of floor space, diverted of mer-
| chandise, is the largest in the city,
and is well proportioned for an exhibit
ton of this kind. Then, too, the great
| activity and energy of the firm enters
| into the spirit of the event, and will
ensure it's complete success.
The exhibition will open on the 18th
l &c n1f snl, fn1I Co fa1r IlU
and will continue for four solid weeks.
The departments which now occupy the
basement of the store will be moved
to other floors, so that the big Food
Show may have plenty of room to en-
joy itself.
The features as already prepared are
many and varied. OF course music will
form one of the chief attractions, be-
ing of almost daily occurrence. These
| Food Shows are always conducted
with great eclat and some of the big
gest and best musical organizations
contribute to their success. 1t Is also
proposed to bring some noted cooking
lecturers here for the purpose of Civ
ing afternoon talks to the ladies on
how to prepare dainty dishes.
Another feature of these expostions
is the samples. AS each food concern
is represented by demonstrators who
is supposed to give everyone taste
of the goodies" whatever they may
be, it is pretty safe to assume that
one may get a fair sized meal without
a cent of expenditure.
OF course the Food Show is free to
all comers which makes 1t doubly in
viting. The manufacturers and the
firm under whose auspices it is held
do not look upon it as a money-making
concern. 1t is created simply for the
introduction into the market of the
best and purest class of foods, which
as a rule are no more expensive than
any other kinds. 4"

DILCHER WENT
TO HAZLET0N

Organizer Fred Dilcher left yester-
day for Hazleton in response to an
urgent telegram from President Mitch
ELL calling upon him to give his aid
in the difficulties which the union
is meeting in the lower districts. Mr.
Dilcher is one of the most successful
workers in the organization, as is told
by the complete tie-up in this district
where he has been laboring for the
past month, and if any man can do
aught to turn the tide in the districts
below, that man, the miners say, is
Fred Dilcher.
At the last district convention in
June the membership of the union in
this district was 10000, according to
Secretary Dempsey, and now from un-
official reports, he and Executive Com
mitteeman Kearney estimate that not
5000 of the $4,000 men in the district
are not affiliated with the union.
Mr.. Dilcher will return tomorrow to
view the parade and expects to bring
President Mitchell with him. This
parade is to be confined to the door
tenders, drivers, runners, breaker
boys and helpers, and is not to include
the miners and laborers, as was first
intended. A notice to this effect was
posted at headquarters by the parade
committee, yesterday. The committee
will meet at 2 o'clock this afternoon
to make final arrangements.

CANNOT BE DONE
SAYS LOOMS

Superintendent f. e. Loomis, OF the
mining department Of the Delaware,
LackaWanna and Western company,
when asked yesterday concerning the
Mine Workers scheme of settling the
strike by a general arbitration, said:
such a proposition is absurd. The
rate of wages for the same class of
work differ, or should differ, in every
vein of a mine. A driver boy who
has a pitch in his road should receive
more wages than driver who has a
level road and can ride his cars both
ways. How can a board of arbitr"
ton adjust the wages for the whole
anthracite region? A uniform scale
that would fit even the territory in
which the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company operates is an i'm
practicability. Why should the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western COM
pany go into an arbitration about
company stores, and company doctors,
and weighing coal and all those other
things with which 1t has no concern?
The thing is ridiculous and the Uni
ted Mine Workers officials know
it. All that an arbitration could
effect and all that the Mine
w OfheIS OlllCldlS want IL TO
effect is the recognition of their union.
The operators, knowing this, would
refuse to arbtrate, even if something
other than recognition OF the Mine
Workers union could be effected. We
will never recognize the Mine Work
ers' union. We take this stand for
several reasons, the principal one of
which is that II is dominated by our
competitors, the bituminous coal men.
1.-The present wage scale is the result
Of years of experimenting and ad J.
! iustments and readjustments. If any
of our men have any complaint to
make of il we will try TO adjust mat
\ ters satisfactorily. We will deal with
our men and deal with them fairly.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, September
1O.-The steamship Elihu Thompson arrived
from Cape Nome last night, bringing 200
passengers, many of whom are without
means The Thompson sailed from Nome
August 2S, and her officers report conditions
but little changed. There are about $4,000
people there. many Of them in destitute cir
cumstances, and as winter approaches much
uneasiness prevails among the unfortunates.
as they can see no prospects of getting
away, and nothing ahead but suffering and
perhaps death.
Before the Thompson sailed from Nome
a report reached there that rich diggngs
had been struck on Blue Stone creek, and
parties who came down reported they had
found plenty of dust. This caused a stam-
pede. and all small steamers and schooners
at Nome headed for the scene OF the new
strike loaded with passengers, while many
started out in small boats. 1t Is said that
by the time the stampede Is over and the
last steamer of the season sails south Nome
will be almost depopulated. The captain of
the Thompson says the first claims located
at Nome are showing up well, it having
taken the entire season to place them in
working order. Nome is practically free
from sickness, smallpox and other diseases
having disappeared. except among the In
dians at the village south of Nome, where
number of natives are down with small

HOUSTON, Tex. September 10.-A scene
of desolation and death, not only at CAL
weston, but at many inland points in Texas,
Is the condition presented today as re-
suit of Saturdays storm.
Estimates of the number Of dead are
placed between 500 and 1900. The prop
erty loss will aggregate many millions Of
dollars. although no accurate figures can
be given at present The streets Of Gal
weston are mostly under water: wires are
in a hopeless tangle and dead bodies are
thickly strewn among floating debris. No
complete list of dead is obtainable until the
water recedes
Narrowing tales of the loss of whole
families and many miraculous escapes are
told by the few survivors who have thus
far reached this city. The relief trains
been the only means of communication
with the storm-swept Galveston, and def
mite Information as to the present situation
Is scarce.
The cotton and rice crop throughout the
district devastated by the storm are badly
damaged in many places and In others
totally destroyed.
Reports from Richmond, Texas, Letitia
and Eagle Lake bring additional lists of
dead and property losses and many places
cut off from all communication are yet to
be heard from.
