STRIKE is OVER.

between representatives of various coal
carrying railroads and numb Der of in
dividual operators. The participants
were pledged to secrecy as to the object
of the consultation, and nothing could
be learned of what transpired.
There were two sessions of the confer
ence. The first began at IL o'clock in
the morning, and continued until l
o'clock in the afternoon. After an ad-
journment for luncheon another meet
ing was held, continuing until nearly
5 o'clock.
Those in attendance were President
Harris and Directors j. Lawler Welsh
and George +. Baer, of the Reading
Company; John b. Garret, vice presi-
dent of the Lehigh Valley Railroad; DR..
Herbert M. Have, of A. Pardee & Co.
NJ. S. Kemmerer, of Mauch Chunk; Will
liam Connell, of Scranton, and John
Markle, of Jeddo. General Manager
Henderson and General Superintendent
Luther, of the Reading Company, were
called in at various stages of the con-
ference.
1t is understood that another con-
ference will be held today. After the
consultation George F. Baer remarked
that it might be some days before a
settlement of the strike is reached.
u IrInNc ppp
That there is positive assurance of
the approaching end of the strike of the
anthracite miners seems certain, in
view of the preparations which are
being made all through the Lackawanna
valley for the resumption of work. The
coal companies are crowding their mine
sidings with empty cars. This is done
in order to be prepared for the great
demand for coal, which will necessitate
the running of the mines and breakers
to their utmost capacity for weeks in
order to get the stock ahead.
MILLS INQUEST POSTPONED.
The inquest in the case of Ralph
Mills, who was shot on Wednesday of
last week at Oneida, was begun Monday
afternoon at Sheppton by Deputy Cor
oner John T. Burns. District Attorney
M. p. Mclaughlin, of Pottsville, was on
hand to represent the commonwealth
half dozen witnesses were examined
The testimony in the main did not differ
from the accounts of the tragedy al
ready published.
The investigation was continued until
such time as George Kellner, the in
jured deputy, has recovered from his
wounds sufficiently to appear before
the coroner's jury.

Wages Increased.

The conductors of the d. S. & S. Rail-
road Amboy run received their pay for
September on Monday and were surpris-
ed to find that their wages have been
increased 30 cents trip. When tho
other members of the crews, the en-
gineerS, iremen and brakemen, found
their pay unchanged, there was loud
murmur of disappointment.
They claim that all are entitled to a
similar increase and delegation from
the Amboy run employees will probably
call on superintendent Smith to ask that
they be treated as we'll as the conductors
have Jared.

Short of Coal.

The shutting down of Drifton mines
has caused scarcity of coal in this
vicinity and many homes and business
places have no more than week.

The Electric Light Company has a
very small supply on hand, and if it
were not for the fact that they obtained
several loads of rice coal from Sandy
Run the plant would have to shut down.
The Salmon Iron Works is short of
fuel and may soon be compelled to shut
down unless the mines resume.

THE FLETCHER MUSIC METHOD.
Children Build Songs on Table
With Mnnden Notes.


Friends and invited guests Of Miss
Charlotte Payne listened with interest last
night, at Sanders & Stayman's music
rooms. to a demonstration of the Fletcher
Music Method. This method Of teaching
music to children by what might be termed
the kindergarten way, is as novel as 1t
seems TO be effective.
The children are first taught the names
of the various notes, clefs slurs, rests, and
other musical signs by means of wooden
pieces made to represent them. These the
children build into little songs on a slopiug
table in front Of them. They learn the let
tiers OF the various clefs by actually build
ing them from c natural with notes on the
lines and spaces.
The next step is cutting out paper notes
and other musical characters and in past
ing them on blank music paper, the notes
and paper, of course being much enlarged
Then the little pupils are taught TO asso-
ciate the sounds of notes on the piano
with the wooden notes which they use on
the table. For this purpose high and low
notes are given such names as "Chicka-
dee c." Fly F." and Giant c." the
pupils being taught to distinguish be-
tween these and then those nearer mid
die c. II was q matter of some surprise
to observe how well the pupils of Miss
Payne could name the notes sounded at
random on the piano.
Time and measure are taught in the
same mechanical way. and the effective
ness of the method was put to the test
by persons playing pieces on the piano,
which the children had never heard before
they being able 10 tell in every instance
the time of the music after a few meas
ures had been played.
After the demonstration Of the method
the following programme was rendered by
Miss Payne assisted by Miss Margaret
Sargent of New York: Love Song" New
in; Impromptu A Flat. Schubert; Mazurka
Brilliante. List; Waltz. E Minor. noe

THE SCHOOL SYSTEM OPPOSED.
Columbia Heights Citizens Resolve
Tint Ii Is Bad.

Tint Ii Is Bad.
The Columbia Heights Citizens Asso-
citation last night held its monthly meet
ing in the parlors of the Stratford Hotel.
The evening was marked by many earnest
discussions and strong expressions regard
ing some of the resolutions proposed. The
meeting was well attended, and all present
entered into the discussions with a vim
said to have never before been exhibited
at any meeting of the association. The
fact that many questions of interest to the
residents were booked to be discussed was
responsible for the attendance of many
strangers.
The meeting opened with F. 0. Dono-
hue, the President, in the chair. The
minutes of the preceding meeting were
read and approved.
The association approved the extension
of Fourteenth Street to Spring Road as
set forth in House bill No. 1850. THE
next extension of this street." the asso-
citation declared would in every way
benefit the communities of Mount Pleas
ant and Columbia Heights besides adding
greatly to the value and attractiyeness OF
the property in that vicinity
The association, after long discussion,
in which most of the members took part,
resolved that the organization of com
peliHS leltpHONS company WOuiu prove vi
benefit. Another view which was received
quite favOrably was to place the control
of the telephone system in the hands of
the municipal government and allow them
TO lease the ducts to the most desirable
company
What was first thought to be an insig-
nificant matter next came before the meet
ing and proved to be the most stirring is
sue Of the evening. The subject was the
schools and a resolution offered by Mr..
Charles Campbell was passed by scant
majority. 1t is to the effect that the
public school system Of the city OF Wash
ington is bad" Lengthy discussions were
made for and against this resolution. 1t
was claimed by many that prejudice had
too strong place in the system OF the
city, while others were opposed to such ex-
treme language The principal speaker was
J. l.. Atkins. He stated that the resolution
was none too strong, and denounced the
public school system roundly. Others who
spoke at length on the matter were K. V.
Page, c. F. Cobb, and Daviess Wilson.
