attended last evenings session. The pro-
ceediugs of the convention are secret. All
that can be learned is that the or
ganizers report large increase in mem
bership among the anthracite miners. At
the district convention held in Scranton
five months ago an invitation was extended
TO the coal operators 10 meet the United
Mine Workers in joint convention, but the
invitation was ignored. At first the miners
were indignant over the refusal of the ope-
rators to meet them and there was talk Of
a strike but matters quieted down.
President Mitchell in an interview said
the anthracite miners were perfecting their
organization but no trouble between ope-
rators and men was anticipated. The pres
ence of President Mitchell here is regarded
as very significant.

natives were found at the mouth of the
cave
The soldier had 100 rounds of ammtni-

them with the butt of his gun, another he
laid out with his bayonet ard a third he
kicked to death. When rescued he was
almost exhausted from lack OF food. water

MISSIONARIES WELL PAID.
Married Men Receive One Thousand
Dollars q Year and TraveI-
ting Expenses.

The foreign missionary does not
work for love of humanity alone. He
is a well-paid person, and instead oi
having the usual Sundays and holi-
days of rest like other folks he is
given years vacation with salary
every once in from four to ten years,
says the Philadelphia Call. The mar
ried men missionaries in China re-
ceive $1,000 a year and travel pay.
When missionaries who are married
have children old enough to require
TO be kept in school away from home
they are allowed $3.50 additional. If
young children are with their parents
and to be supported 500 additional
is allowed for each child OF course
these salaries include house rentals
and travelling expenses to and from
the stations
When missionaries take vacation
of year their travelling expenses to
and from their stations are paid at
this time and almost their full salary
likewise allowed them. More than
the salary must, of course, be the inn
pelling motive when missionaries go
to such fields as China.

GOING HOME RICH.
Lapinnders Who Took Herd OF
Reindeer 20 Alaska for the
Government.

DR., Sheldon jackson, commissioner
OF education for Alaska. has conveyed
across the continent 25 Laplanders
who were sent by the government TO
Alaska 30 months ago with reindeer
and who are now on their way home to
Jokkonkk. The Laplanders, says the
New York Sun, were sent to Alaska
early in the Klondike excitement with
reindeers that were to be used as beasts
Of burden and food by the starving
miners. The Klondikers were found
to be less needy than was supposed, and
the deer were not used for food. The
Laplanders were employed as mail car
riers and deer drivers at a salary of
S2GS year each, besides food and cloth
Ing, They are now going home rich
beyond the dreams of avarice with
from 5000 to s7O0 each, enough to keep
their families in affluence for years.
OF the $40 deer imported by the gov
ornament many died of starvation be-
fore they reached the tundra. hay be-
ing found so rich diet that they would
not eat it, Later 700 reindeer doe were
brought over from Siberia. and the
Alaska herd now numbers nearly 5000.
DR.. jackson says the services Of the
Laplanders to care for them are no
longer needed, and that they will in
crease rapidly under government pro-
lection. He looks for them to become
ultimately an important source Of
wealth in interior Alaska.

SOME POST OFFICE FIGURES.
tntsrsstinE Facts fron the Repors
OF the London Postmaster
General.

The annual report Of the postmas-
ter general, although not due till par
lament reassembles, has been made
public by Lord Londonderry. He re-
tails the colossal blunders of the pub
lie with great gusto. 1t is really as
tonishing that s,667 packets should
be posted unaddressed and still more
that 2,767 contained cash, notes postal
orders and other uaper money. There
is another record of carelessness
against the public in the fact that the
articles found loose in the post have
increased by nearly 80 per cent. in the
last four years. The craze for cheap
ness affects even postal covers, to our
loss, it would seem. For the fact that
undelivered correspondence for the
army in South Africa is being re-
turned in large quantities, there is
ample explanation in the melancholy
list of losses in the war. The post
master general appears to be sur
prised that 35,448 letters addressed to
the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State, which were stopped at Cape
Town at the outbreak of the war,
We're not claimed there by the per-
sons for whom they were intended"
There Yves, no doubt, difficulty in
the way of either Beers or uitlanders
sending down to Cape Town for their
mails after war had been declared.
There is healthy surplus on the
working of the department of ga
