Lansford, Pa, Oct. l7.--About. 1900
men and 60 women and girls marched Is
miles from the south side of the Hazleton
region during the night for the Panther
Creek valley, where thew expected to close
the 10 collieries Of the Lehigh Coal \
Navigation Company, but just as the
weary marchers were nearing their desti-
nation this morning they were met on a
mountain road by three companies Of iiIIi-
fantry and ut the point of the bayonet
were driven back four miles to Tamaqua
and dispersed.
Another crowd Of 800 strikers from the
north side Of Hazleton also marched here
and succeeded in closing the company's
No. l colliery at Nesquehoning, near
Mauch Chunk, before it was scattered.
The presence Of the soldiers was entirety
unexpected and the strikers were much
crestfallen that they failed in accomplish
ing the object Of their long march.
Ut was probably the most exciting morn
ing that the Panther Creek and Nesque-
honing valleys have ever experienced.

r. G. Dun 3 Co.'S Weekly Review

of Trade for last week says:
More seasonable weather has had an
important influence throughout the
country, but the coal strike continued
as a restraining factor in business. AS
speculation everywhere is on q small
scale, the effect Is minimized. Lower
prices recently for some iron products
have been without disturbing force,
and the firm market for print cloths
and strong quotations for lumber, show
that in some directions in the great in
dustries small increase in demand is
capable OF raising prices. The situa-
tion still promise recovery when poll
tics and the strike are settled. Distri-
button Of merchandise at the west is
still active. The working force is in
creasing steadily, and in railroad and
manufacturing circles in the middle
west scarcity OF labor is causing un-
easiness. Fear Of tight money has
made some men hesitate, but higher
rates result from the activity OF the
movement of cotton at high prices iI
the south. At the moment the move
ment of gold from Europe has tended
to relieve the tension In New York, and
gold is still coming in from Australia.
Pig iron production has been further
reduced, according to the Iron Age. On
October 1 the weekly capacity Of fur
naces in blast was 223, 1863 tons, against
231,778 September / and 296,376 June /.
Stocks at furnaces continue to accumu-
late. gaining 36,841 tons in September.
A gratifying feature is the evidence
that supplies in consumers hands are
low. Quotations Of iron products are
steady, and foreign buying continues,
two contracts Of Importance being plac'
ed. Pipe makers are buying quantities
Of pig iron, while car and ship-bualders
are also urgent bidders for material
Much disappointment was apparent
among cotton traders when the ofacial
crop report appeared, for the anticipa
| ton Of gloomy report had put tbs
price up to II cents. When the state
ment indicated point improvement,
in Texas in September prices dropped
sharply.

FIRST WIG IN HISTORY.

The first wig mentioned in history
was made Of goats skin and worn by
the daughter of Saul, king of Israel
The first artistic wigs were made in
the south of Italy for the Gapiniens,
who lived in Apulia and were known
for the luxuries of their toilet. These
people were, they say, the first who
| painted their faces. This they did with
| the juice Of strawberries.
The Persians wore wigs. Xenophon
relates that little Cyrus, when he visit

eyes were framed in blue paint and
who wore an enormous wig, threw
himself on his knees and cried, ooh,
mother, what a beautiful grandfather
I have" Aglais, maid of honor, was
so struck by the appearance of the old
gentleman that she remained with AS
tyages as a slave.
The Phpnician women, who were
proud Of their hair, having been or
dered by their priests to offer it up on
the affairs dedicated to Venus after the
death of Adonis, obeyed, but with MUIR
muring. Soon after they were consoled
by Greek merchant, who told them
that he would give them the means of
hiding their bald pates under luxurious
curls. In his chariot he had hundreds
Of wigs of all colors.
Wigs were in vogue in Rome toward
the end of the republic and so well
made that, says Ovid, ''no man could
know If his wife had any hair at all be-
fore she had given him an opportunity
of Selling her by the tresses."
Teutonic peasants were the provid-
ers Of blond hair for rich Roman prin-
cesses, who loved the contrast of it's
faxen hue with their black eyes. They
even had morning wigs, small and
tightly curled, of any color, and they
kept the beautiful fair ones to receive
their admirers at night. Messalina had
$50 wigs to disguise herself.-Cincin-
natl Commercial Tribune.
