PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2G.-Ths was
the tenth day of the miners strike and as
vet there is no indication Of surrender or
concession on either side In fact no
overtl1res looking to a settlement Of the
differences have been made by either the
strike leaders or the mine operators. Va
rious propositions Of a settlement by ar
bitration have been put forward by per-
sons not directly connected with the mn
ing business, but thus far practically no
progress has been made in this direction.
A most noteworthy feature OF the strike
is the remarkably good behavior Of the
strikers up to this time, especially when
it is considered that the claim is made
that upwards of 600 mine workers are
idle in the anthracite region
There have OF course, been few dls-
tlirbances, but none Of character at an
serious, with the exception OF The one al
the Shenandoah or Friday last when a
striker was killed during a clash between
u number of strikers and a sner!ffs posse.
AFFAIRS QUIET.
Affairs were quiet to-day throughout
tI,e region. a shooting affair occurred
near Scranton in which three men were
wounded. but the participants. who were
Italians. were all strikers. and the affair
had no direct connection with the present
strike.
The Cambridge mine at Shenandoah
closed down tonight. and the Sehuylklil
region is now practically tied up, there
being but few mines at work in addition
to fourteen of the th:rty-nine collieries
operated BY the Philadelphia and Read
inc Company. Some few mines are work
ing in the Lehigh region, but in the Wyo-
ming and Laekawanna regions mining is
almost at a standstlll.
The state troops still remain in Scnuyl-
kill county, rendezvous in and about
Shenandoah but as yet their services
have not been called upon for the suppress
sion of disorder The Governor has not
yet compiled with the request of the
sheriff of Luzerne for troops, and the
sheriff experienced no difficulties with the
strikers to-day.

WAITING ATTITUDE.
Con.er's Instructions to Open Aego-

(Ev Associated Press.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 2G-One belated
dispatch from Geueral Chaffee relative 10
conditions in Pekin on the list instant was
made public to-day. 1t is apparent thal
our Government is again in a waiting at
titude after having made the important
move toward a reduction Of American
troops in China announced yesterday.
General Chaffse had not received the
Departments instruction when ha sent
his dispatch made public to-day, but
without doubt has it in hand.
His offer to escort Lii Hung Chang was
in conformity with the expressed pur-
nose of the State Department tc facilitate
in every proper manner the journey OF the
Chinese ytceroy to Pelsin. Stll. it is now
regarded as just as we'll that the offer
was declined and the responsibility for
LIS safety left with the Russians.
The instructions to Minister Conger to
establish relations with Ii and Prince
Ching is still held up here. 1t is begin
ming to appear that the purpose of the de-
Iay is Ito asqert4n mora clearly ''iAt,
pans Of >:le Powers I'm whose A'tti.
Mr.. Conger was to endeavor
10 bring about negotiations for a settle
ment If it shall appear that there is q
disposition on the part of any considerable
part to reject in advance the well meant
efforts of the United States Government
10 bring about q conference and negotia-
tions in which thay could participate on
equal terms with our own Government,
with the purpose of terminating the Chin
rse difficulties, then Mr.. Conger's instruc-
tons may require recasting.
1t might be regarded as useless for him
to arrange for a meeting of the Powers
with China. which the former do not care
TO attend owing to entirely different pur-
noses from those animating the United
states. and there probably is no disposition
to subject our Minister to humiliation by
a fiat failure which might be anticipated.
1t is also possible that the news relative
to the advancement OF Prince Tuan to q
position where he might influence the
negotiations is regarded as worthy OF at
tention and that our Government may
DELAY proceedings as long as he stands in
the way. The State Department has not
been officially informed OF Prince Tuan's
promotion

Defends tho Ma tinee Girl.

+ q r
Frank Currier, who plays the profes,
scr in way Down East has decided
opinions on the matinee girl. He saya
she Is not the romantic, silly creature
she Is usually represented to be, but a
girl of good hard common sense,
"They don't write mash notes." Mr.,
Currier says, "and, while they like an
actor for his good work as an actor,
all this talk about their silly adulation
is nonsense. What kind Of a man is
the actor who poses for these silly
creatures. You can't find him. The
matinee girl is a good critic. You take
a play which draws plenty of women
to Its matinees and that play will be
big success. Women are quicker to see
certain points and a matinee crowd
will enjoy comedy, and will give
inspiration to the players in much
greater measure than an audience Of
men," Mr.. Currier may be right about
some things, but certainly the genua
leading man" does receive many
score genuinely foolish notes from the
giddy matinee girl. Some of these
men show the notes.

Ingredients Of Toilet Soap.

The basis Of the better qualities OF
toilet soap is generally curd or yellow
soap, in the making of which special
precautions are taken to insure alb
sence of free alkali. This Is most i'm
portant, as otherwise the soap would
he altogether unsuitable for toilet pur-
poses, the free alkali being injurious
to the skin. This is the reason why 80
many of the cheaper laundry soaps
produce chapped hands and similar
results when used for toilet purposes.
If, on the other hand, there is an ex.
cess OF fat, the soap is greasy and does
not possess the cleansing properties a
good soap should. A laundry soap may
be made without much difficulty by
an amateur. but it is better to buy
whatever toilet soap is required, for,
the reasons stated, and also because
special apparatus Is required to make
a soap NJ first class quality.

Hutchinson's surprise got the better
of his caution. II brought her up,Y
he said, ''eyen II she was not my own!
In way she was mine. And so you
married her, did you? And now you
say she Is Dead

again. I wish you would let me help

An evil sneer crossed Hutchinson
face. Married again, are you? Soon

your bride. You may have an unex-

that something untoward had hap

not say what it had been.

HISTORIC ATMOSPHERE.

Motive Is the Ground Color for His
torlcal Pictures. 'Mn
. Unless an author can maintain, with
out deviation, from the first to the last
pages OF his book, tie language of the
period of which he writes, his work
will be better, his pages will be more
easily read; and whatever true atmos-
phere he may be able to create in other
ways will be more convincing If he
writes in the language of his own
times. No books have stronger fla
vor Of their own period than the D'Ar-
tagnan romances, we'll translated into
modern English. 1t were as we'll for
an English author to attempt to give
German atmosphere to a story Of Ger
man life by writing it in broken Eng
fish, as to attempt to give oldtime fla
vor to an old-time tale by writing in a
tongue composed Of both the old and
the new. If am right in my conclu-
sions, atmosphere may be impaired by
facts and language, subject to the con-
ditions above stated. These two meth
DDS, although generally attempted,
more frequently fail than succeed.
Novels wherein old-time phrases and
historical facts only are relied upon to
give old-time color are accepted with
out question, perhaps, by those who do
not know the period Of which the nov
els treat, or do not care to analyze the
question. But to ~inquiring mind,
knowing the period, such novel as to
its atmosphere is usually us disap-
pointing as wet gunpowder. 1t Is from
the setting Of the story and from the
acts, motives, and methods Of thought
of the characters that true atmosphere
may be impaired. What the charac-
ters are made to feel, do, and say give
real atmosphere. What they say is the
important matter; not how they say it.
Motive is the ground color for all his
torical pictures. There is no period in
history Of which we have complete
view. At best we can only catch
glimpscs of the environment of men
and women who have preceded us, and
who have faded into the dim, hazy
light Of the past. We have but frag-
mentary pictures, that come to us in
sections, like the picture-blocks Of a
child, with many parts missing. Those
parts which we lack we try to fill in as
best we can, guiding our hands, as we
draw, by the parts we have.-Charles
Major in the June Scribners. H. e.
