Home Journal, do not realize her
beauty as it appeared to those who
know her. She was about five feet five
inches in height; her figure was luxu-

chestnut-brown hue, and her luminous
eyes were said by some to be hazel In
color, by others black. Her cheeks
were rosy and dimpled; her mouth dis

hair was worn curled behind the ears

THE RIVER OF LIFE.


The more we live, more brief appear
Our life's succeeding stages;
A day to childhood seems year,
And years like passing ages.
The gladstone current Of our youth,
Ere passion yet disorders,
Steals lingering like a river smooth
Along it's grassy borders.
But, as the careworn cheek grows wan
And sorrows shafts fly thicker,
Ye stars, that measure life to man,
Why seem your courses quicker?
When joys have lost their bloom and
breath,
And life itself Is vapid,
Why, as we near the Falls Of Death
Feel we its tide more rapid?
It may be strange,-yet who would
change
Times course to slower speeding,
When one by one our friends have
gone,
And left our bosoms bleeding?
Heaven gives us years Of fading
strength
Indemnifying fleetness;
And those Of youth seeming length,
Proportioned to their sweetness.
Selected.

STANDING OF THE
CHIEF CITIES

Washington, Oct. 26.-The census
bureau in bulletin issued to-day
summarizes the returns of population
of cities having 25.000 inhabitants or
more in 1900, the Individual census of
each of these cities having been ofii-
cially announced heretofore There are
159 of these, and the bulletin shows
that the percentage of increase in
their population from 1880 to 1900 was
32.5, rs against 49.5 for the same cities
in the previous decade. The absolute
increase in the population of these
cities from 1890 to 1900 was 4,S39, 1876,
or S2,426 less than the absolute in
crease from 1880 to 1890. when it was
1921 ,562.
The following named states and ter
ritories in 1900 do not contain any city
with n population of 25,OoO or more:
Arizona, Idaho, Indian territory, Mis-
sissippi, Nevada, New Mexico, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming.
Among the most notable changes in
the rank of cities which have taken
place in 1900, rs compared with 1880,
may be mentioned Seattle. which has
advanced from the 150th to the 18th
place; Los Angeles, from the 135th
to the 36th place; Duluth, from the
156th to the I'D place; Kansas City,
Kansas, from the lJ3d to the 10th
place, and Portland, Oregon, from the
10Gth to the I'D place. Other notice
able changes in rank from 1850 to 1900
are Tacoma from 10th to 1O3d, and
Spokane, from 15Ith to 105th.
The most significant growth of cities
is that for the cities in the state of
Washington, namely, Seattle, Spokane
and Tacoma. These three cities com
bined had only 1881 inhabitants in
1850, but their population had in
creased to 9STG5 in 1890, and to 155,-
233 in 1900. the increase during the
past decade being equivalent to 81
per cent.
The combined population in 1900 of
the ninetC n cities of the first class Is
I.T95, ,SU3. as against "A population in
1890 of S,SI9, ,10j, representing an in
crease during the ten years of 2,916,-
704, or 32.S per cent. The same cities
showed an increase from 1880 to 1880
of 1861, ,452, or I0.6 per cent.

GREAT ANTHRACITE STRIKE
FINALLY DECLARED OFF

Hazleton, Pa. Oct. 26.-The follow
ing statement has been given out for
publication by President Mitchell of
the United Mine Workers:
To the Miners and Mine Owners of the
Anthracite Region:
Gentlemen-After carefully canvass
ing the entire strike situation, we, your
officials, district and national, have
concluded that your victory is so near
ly complete that no good end can be
served by continuing the strike longer.
The contest has been in progress for
thirty-nine days, and the companies
employing you have, with few eXcep-
tions, signitied their Willingness to pay
the scale of wages formulated by the
Scranton convention of October 18th
We are aware that some disappoint-
ment and dissatisfaction has been
caused by the failure of the operators
in districts 1 and to separate the re-
duction in the price of powder from
the advance in wages, but, after care
full inquiry, we are satisfied that each
mine employe will actually receive an
advance of ten per cent on the wages
formerly paid In the Schuylkill and
Lehigh regions the largest companies
have agreed that the sliding scale
should remain stationary at ten per
cent. until April 1, 1901, thus remov-
ing one of the iniquities of which you
have complained for many years.
While it is true that you have not
secured redress for all your wages;
while it is true that the increase in
your earnings will not fully compen-
safe you for the arduous ln Dor you are
compelled to perform, you have estab-
lished perfect organization, which, If
maintained and conducted on business
nrincinlpS will pn1b bIp Won tn rpyulot 70
many of your local grievances and
make your employment less hazardous
and more profitable than before the
strike began.
The companies agree. in their no.
tices, to take up with their mine en-
ployes all grievances complained of.
We would, therefore, advise that when
work is resumed committees be select
ed by the mine employees, and that they
wait upon the superintendents of the
companies and present their grievances

Montreal, oct. 26.-Over "A score were
wounded, one fatally, in n conflict be
tween militia and striking mill hands
at Valleyfield, Quebec, yesterday.
Two hundred men employed by the
Montreal Cotton Company, on the foun-
dations of new mill, went out on n
strike, demanding an increase of %
cents n day in their pay. The company
refused to deal with the union.
At dusk a big crowd, composed of
strikers and their sympathiZ ers, gath
cred and there was every evidence of
trouble. About $50 the mob went to
the Empire mill and began throwing
stones through the windows and other
wise destroying property. The troops
charged the mob with fixed bayonets.
They Were driven back Eight of the
soldiers were wounded, two of them
seriously. The strikers had fifteen men
injured. one fatally.
Reinforcements We're then asked
from Montreal and 300 men, with med
ical assistance, left for the scene of
disturbance.

| likely to be carried by the Republicans

has not varied for the last four weeks
that Mckinley and Roosevelt will
probably have not less than 300 cleo

Mr.. Bryan has been invading the en-
emy's country again and Tammany
! Hall got up a lively demonstration for
him in New York city. which doubt
less convinced him that the state would
/ surely give him its vote. In his
speeches Mr.. Bryan has been going
| from bad to worse. He talks very lit
tie now on imperialism, not at all on

/ his sole reliance in these latter days OF
I the campaign seems to be upon eNcit-

that so many working people are not
able to take long summer vacations
] and intimates if he We're elected presi-
dent things would be different; he sees
I n woman in the audience dressed In

remind her that there are n great many
| women who wear better clothes, ana
/ that 1t Is the fault of the Republican
party that the rich are rich and the
poor are poor. This sort OF stlf is
causing n great many Republicans who
formerly had high respect fol Mr.,
Bryan personally to come reluctantly
to the conclusion that he Is ROW no.
thing more than n demagogue. The
shadow OF coming defeat seems to
have rendered him desperate. All pre-

Paterson, n. j., Oct. 26.-Soulthrop,
the man who drove the cab in which
Jennie Bosschieter, the young silk mill
employe, died last Thursday night, aft

and assaulted, said to-day that a wom-

stood by until the vehicle started away.

in an orderly business-like manner,
and ask that they be corrected.
Your attention is respectfully called
to the fact that the laws of the state
of Pennsylvania provide that miners
should be paid semi-monthly, upon de-
mand. We would, therefore, advise
that each mine employe serve notice
on the companies that he expects to be
paid his wages twice each month, as
provided by law.
The practical benefits to the miners
which accrue from thorough Organiza-
ton have been so clearly demonstrated
during this strike that it should be
needless for us to urge upon you the
necessity of maintaining your union
intact. We trust, however, that those
who are now members of the union
will be unceasing in their efforts to in
duce all other mine workers to ally
themselves with the United Mine
Workers of America at once, as 1t will
be impossible for you to secure higher
wages in the future, or even to main
tain the present rate of wages, unless
you are prepared to offer a united re-
sistance if any attempt is made to re-
duce your earnings upon the eXpira-
ton of the present offer.
AS there are some few companieCi
who have neither posted, notified no.S
slgnlned In any other manner their Will
ingness to pay the ten per cent ad-
vance in wages and suspend the slid
ing scale, we would advise that unless
the men employed by such companies
receive notice before Monday that the
advance will be paid they remain away
from the mines and continue on strike
until the companies employing them
agree to the conditions off cred by the
other companies. The employees of the
companies who have offered the ad
/ vance of ten per cent and abolished
the sliding scale are hereby authorized
to resume work Monday morning, Oc-
tober %, and to be prepared, If called
upon, to contribute a reasonable
amount of their earnings for the main
tenance of those who may be COM
PEELED to continue on strike.
The address Is signed by the national
and district officers of the United Mine
Workers of America.

The wyoming Oil Fields.

Green River, Wyo., Oct. 26.-It ap-
pears that Marcus DAILY, the Montana
millionaire, is to enter into able and
aggressive competition with the Stand
ard Oil Company for the possession Of
the future great oil output of the Cen
trail West.
There passed through Green River
yesterday en- route west George l..
Thayer of Geneva, Indiana, who says
that he is Daly's agent for the acquir-
ing of oil properties in any and all parts
of the great western mountain oil ba-
sin. with the especial object of fore
stalling any similar work by the Stand
ard Oil Company
AS an inducement to oil prospecting
in the DAILY interest, Mr.. Thayer is Of
fering $500 cash for each and every
western oil claim showing even an oil
trace. AS soon as an oil claim is ac-
Quired by Mr.. DAILY well is to be put
down and if paying oil is developed the
property is to be exhaustively devel-
oped.
Mr.. Thayer has his eye at present on
the Fremont county, Wyoming, oil
fields as a promising scene of opera
ton. and is now arranging for sys-
tematic prospecting of that region by
parties who will sell any and all claims
they may locate to Mr.. DAILY.

Denver. Colo, Oct. 20.-The first poll
II the state has been taken, and very
completely and thoroughly in most
counties. 1t is possible now for the
state committee to form some estimate
of the possible results. The commit
tee is not of course giving out exact
figures, but it may be safely said that
the poll shows a majority for the Re
publicans. Doubtless the Democratic
poll shows n majority for the fusion
lists: preliminary canvasses are always
colored more or less by the preferences
of the canvassers, even though they
may try to be as exact as possible. 1t
is safe to assume at least that the Re
publican canvassers are as accurate
as the fusionists', and on this assump-
tion the state is very close. The tide,
however, is still running toward the
Republicans, and in the two weeks re-
manning before election day 1t is prob
able that the doubtful voters will
come more and more to the Republican
side.

measures which they believe will be
entirely effective to meet any Demo-

that there will be fair vote and hon

confident therefore. that the county
will be carried by the Republican can

show how the political wind is blow

of the well-known gamblers of Denver
has offered S1,50O even that the Re
