troops at Petlin, and that Germany aban-
dons her demand for the punishment OF

\ Foreign Office official made the follow

The story IS inaccurate. particularly
the !rttmation that Germany. Russia ard
France have formed q separate diplomatic
group. Negotiations between these Powers
continue as with the others Germany

The se1ni-oftic:al press uniformly dis
credits the assertion, but a well-infornlef
diplomat assured the Associated Press
correspondent that ne had excellent au-
thouiUy fer believing them to be true,
especially as the German Foreign Office
had admitted that Russia had dropped all

PHILADELPHIA, Pm. October 1.-The
mine operators of the Wyoming, Laeka-
wanna and Lehish. regions to-day at
meeting at Wisesharra followed yestes-
days action OF the Reading Company in
offering an increase OF ten per cent in
wages to the mine workers. They further
more decided To reduce the charge for
powder from Sa.lo TO Sl.5o per kes. Tne
latter price has prevailed at the Reading
Compdny'S mine for q long time.
The action of the WilIles5arre meeting
means an increase of ten per cent. TO all
mine workers except miners. The latter
will earn an increase OF about ten per
cent by reason of the reduced cost of
powder.
The meeting was attended by represen-
tatives Of all the leading railroad COM
pauIes. which OWN mines In the regions
named. Some OF the independent opera
tors oppose the proposed increase unless
the coal carrying companies reduce the
tolls on their production TO tde-water
NONE RETURN TO WORK.
The strikers. however, show no indica-
ton of accepting the offer None returned
to work to-day at the Fsead!Rg Company's
culiieries IN resposse 20 the notice Of
higher wages, IN fact. many who had been
at work there quit and joined the ranks
of the strikers.
AS a result there were fewer coGier.es
In operation to-day in the ScSIuyikil re-
ston than at any time since the strike was
tnaugurated.
In the other regions there were also adj
ditions 10 the strikers forces.
Notices of the Increase IN pay were
posted throughout the entire anthracite
region tonight, but the opinion Is general
that few, il any. of the strikers will re-
turn to work. The strikers say they have
other grievances 10 be adjusted besides
wages and powder charges, and they fur
ther say they want recognition of their
union.
President Mitchell. of the United Mine
Workers. will visit WilBessarre tomorrow
to address rnass-rneettns and review a
parade of the miners.

It is a well-lrnown fact that Lydia
e. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
has cured more women than any other
remedy. It therefore must be the
best possible medicine for female ills.
But some women make the mistake
of thinking that they will try some
thing else, simply because it Is new.
That mistake is often q fatal one
fatal to the health and happiness Of
the experimenter.
Is it not foolish TO risk the possible
results of such experiments? Is it not
better to depend upon q medicine
which has been tried successfully for
thirty years, and which has never
been found wanting? Do not therefore
let any one persuade you to try some
thing which they say is just as good.
1t cannot be just as good. Mrs. Pink
hams Compound is the best, and there
can be only one best. This is not .
mere assertion, but is a positive fact,
admitted by hundreds of regular
physicians.
Rely on your own common sense,
and Mrs. Pinkham's lifelong expert
ence, and you will make no mistake.
Don't experiment with your health,
but take a medicine that you knov II
