Procession Headed by Mitchell and
the Omcers of the Executive
Board of the Miners Union.
IGNORED BY THE STRIKERS
OFFERED ADVANCE IN WAGES HAS
NOT BEEN Considered.
They VIII Not BE Contented Unless
the ORGANIZATION Is Recognized
Developments of q Day.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2-No break has
yet occurred in the ranks OF the striking
mine workers. though additional notices OF
the offer Of an increase of 10 per cent In
wages were posted throughout the region.
In fact, there were many indications to-
day of an intent on the part Of the strikers
to insist on other concessions, and also to
remain out until the operators give recog-
milton to their national organization.
The feature of the day was the parade
and mass meeting of mine workers at
wflkesbarre, arranged with the object Of
demonstrating the strength of the United
Mine Workers. A conservative estimate
places the number of strikers in the pro-
cession at 1900. and the day was generally
given up as a holiday by the people Of
wilkesbarre and other Luzerne county
towns
The mass meeting was addressed by
President Mitchell and other officers of the
miners organization President Mitchell,
in his speech. congratulated the strikers
on having already received proffer Of 10
per cent. in wages. He said their cause
had been recognized as a righteous one,
and the day was not far distant when they
would receive proper compensation for
their labor He advised them to stand
firmly together.
Neither did ne intimate anything as to
the probability OF an early convention of
miners, and after the meeting, when ques-
toned on that subject, he said that not a
local union had requested the calling Of a
convention. A significant move in this di-
rection, however. developed tonight at
Shenandoah, where all the local branches
of the United Mine Workers held meetings
and selected delegates to convention to
be called later by President Mitchell. This
is the first announcement of the selection
OF convention delegates.
The entire region was quiet to-day, and
very few miners were at work.

How the Queen of Holland Met and
Won Her Fiance.


Some interesting particulars of Queen
Wilhelmina's courtship and betrothal are
supplied by our Paris correspondent. Al
though the queen Of the Netherlands
made the acquaintance of the grand
ducal family at Cannes, she did not, it
appears, see her betrothed until she went
last year to Berlin. She had heard
good deal about him from his sister-in-
law, the Princess John, nee Saxe-Wei-
mar, and daughter Of the late Princess.
Pauline Of the Netherlands. duchess of
SAKE Weimar. The moment the queen
and Prince Henry saw each other they
were mutually impressed and SO strongly
that the queen would hear of no other
suitor. She pleaded "a cold" as excuse
for not attending a dinner where she was
TO pass in review a number Of aspirants.
The queen mother, seeing this, prudently
curtailed the visit to Berlin. Inquiries
were in due course set ON foot about
Prince Henry. All the reports received
about him were favorable, and the queen
arranged to have opportunities to become
better acquainted with him. Instead Of
cCming to the exposition she planned an
excursion to Schwarzburg. Rooms were
taken Mt hotel in a picturesque site
for the queen, her mother and the dow
ager duchess, who was asked to be their
guest.
Prince Henry was not disinclined to
fall in with the little plan. He obtained
a furlough to come to see his mother. He
got up excursions to the show places in
the principality and accompanied the |
two queens in their walks, rides and
drives She was supremely happy in his |
company and was sorry when il was |
time for the party TO break up. As she
was leaving she said to the prince: what /

HEALTH IN MOUNTAIN AIR.
Many Bodily Ailments Are Mitigated
by the Breathing of Pure
Oxygen.

1t is well known that the chemical
composition of the atmosphere differs
but little, if at all, wherever the sam
pie be taken; whether it be on the
high Alps or on the surface of the
sea, the relation of oxygen to nitro
gen and other constituents is the
came. The favorable effects, there
fore, of a change of air are not to be
explained by any difference in the
proportion of its gaseous constituents.
One important difference, however, is
the meteorological one. The air of
high attitudes contains no microbes,
and is, in fact sterile, while near the
ground and some 100 feet above it
microbes are abundant. In the air
of towns and crowded places not only
does the microbic impurity increase,
but other impurities, such as the prod.
ucts of combustion of coal accrue al
so, says the London Lancet.
Several investigators have found
traces of hydrogen and certain hydro
carbons in the air, and especially in
the air of pine, oak and birch forests.
1t is to these bodies, doubtless con.
sisting of traces of essential oils. to
which the curative effects of certain
health resorts are ascribed. Thus the
locality of fir forest is said to give
relief in diseases of the respiratory
tract. But all the same these traces
of essential oils and aromatic products
must be counted, strictly speaking
as impurities, since they are not ap,
parently necessary constituents of the
air. As recent analyses have shown,
these bodies tend to disappear in the
air as a higher altitude is reached. I'M
til they disappear altogether. It would
seem. therefore, that microbes, hydro
carbons and entities other than oxy-
gen and nitrogen, and perhaps we
should add argon, are only incidental
to the neighborhood of human indus.
