Steps are being taken to preserve the
famous Calaveras grove of big trees,
which will probably pass into the
hands Of a large lumber firm which
has secured an option on this famous
California grove. 1t is the intention OF
the new possessors to build large saw
mills in Calaveras county, and they
will then turn all of the large trees,
which have been made one of the
points of interest to visitors, into lum-
Der, unless some immediate steps are
taken to save them. Various clubs and
associations in California are doing
their best to save the great trees, which
are famous all over the world. 1t is
urged that a national park such as has
been established in Mariposa and Tu-
lare counties would be most desirable
at this point.

"A bill recently passed by the Ohio
legislature provides that in the abb
sence Of a contract agreement, women
shall be paid the same wages as men.
In the attempt to enforce a similar
law in Kansas last year many women
lost good positions. Wages, in the
case OF both men and women, are reg
ulated by something more powerful
than legislation: to-wit, conspicuous
effectiveness.

The census enumerator's lot Is not
wholly happy, even in his and our own
land; but compared with that Of his
brother official in Puerto Rico, it is an
enviable one There he not infre-
uuently has to invent or evolve Chris
tan names for those who never had
any. or who have forgotten them, II
they ever had. And fancy his perpleX-
ity when. after asking woman her
age. he is told that so many years have
ELAPSED since she was pretty
particular age when her beauty was
conspicuous being matter of mere
conjecture. When the same query is
propounded to a man, it is usually fol-
lowed by perplexed grin. The omni-
present small boy is of course at hand
on these occasions, and beholding him.
the relieved native will cheerfully aver
as he points toward him, that he was
as tall as that boy at the time of the
San Filipe hurricane! Thus 1t hap
mems that in striving to attain approx
mate correctness in statements of ages
the word "about" is in frequent use n
the census records of Puerto Rico.
Columbus last descendant, the duke

duke is right. Nothing more rude anc

annals of society etiquette, while such
behavior as that of Schley at Santa
go would have been out of place in any
drawing room But then, how could
the duke expect briny tars, coarse
burly gunners, husky rough riders ano
people of such patterns to observe the
Chesterfieldian graces?

BELIEVED THE STRIKING MINERS
WILL ACCEPT THE OPERA
TORS PROPOSAL
OF A TEN PER CENT ADVANCE
Formal Call to the United Mine
Workers Issued by President
John Mitchell Yes
terday.

HAZLETON, Pa, Oct. 8.-The issuing
of a call today by President Mitchell, Of
the United Mine Workers of America for
a joint convention Of the anthracite
miners to be held at Scranton beginning
next Friday for the purpose of deciding
whether to accept or to- reject the IL per
cent increase in wages offered by the
operators, is a long stride in the direc-
ton of bringing the great coal miners
strike to a close. Genuine satisfaction
was expressed today by both miners and
persons not directly connected with the
coal industry that the contest is ap-
preaching an end. Business throughout
the entire anthracite coal field is prac-
tically at a standstill and it will take
some time before normal conditions will
again prevail.
It is believed the convention will not
be a long one as it is expected the strik-
ers will almost unanimously accept the
advance i'll wages There is, however, Il
possibility that by the introduction of
proposition to abolish the sliding scale
and another to have the opera tors agree
to a yearly wage contract the termina-
ton of the strike might be somewhat de-
layed.
None of the operators who could be
seen here today would have anything to
say in regard to the convention cali
Most of them preferred to wait and see
what action the companies will take

gates to the convention and many of
them were in session tonight for that
purpose. President Mitchell will leave
here tomorrow for Shamokin, where
labor demonstration is to take place in
the afternoon. On Wednesday he will go

meeting and parade of miners on that

COTTON FOR GERMANY.

strenuous Efforts to Encourage Its
Culture in Colonies.
WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-"If," for some
reason, Germany should be cut off for
one year from her cotton supply there
would be a crisis of incalculable conse-
quences," says United States Consul Win
ter, at Annaberg, in a report to the
state department upon the cotton con-
sumption of that country. In order to
guard against any possible exigency the
German colonial association, says Con-
sui Winter, recently sent petition to the
imperial chancellor, requesting that ev-
cry means be used to introduce cotton
growing into the different Germany COL
onfes where climate and soil favor. With
the exception of about SIT 900 worth of
cotton grown in one little colony Ger
many is entirely dependent upon the
United States and Egypt for this com
modify, and She consumes more of It
than any nation on the continent Ger
many, France and England" says the
consul, have never forgotten the days
of the Civil war, when their cotton sup
ply was completely cut off by the block
ade of the Southern states. There is
a tendency, he says, on the part Of cot
ton industries to gravitate towards tfe
centers of production; that is, the United
States, Egypt and the East Indies. The
shifting Of cotton mills and manufa,,-
lures to these points saves time AMI
money and the problem which now con-
fronts Germany Is to insure cotton sup
ply that can be absolutely depended upon

CROSSED BRYAN's PATH.
Gov. Roosevelt Met the Enemy In
Illinois.


EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.,, Oct S.-The ar
rival at Alton of Gov. Roosevelt was
greeted by a large body of citizens and
organlza tions bearing f1ambeaux. A fea-
ture was the presence Of sixty marines
and thirty former members of the reg
ular army, all the latter having served
under Gov. Roosevelt at Santiago.
Immediately south Of the city the train
was stopped for orders. An incident Of
interest transpired at this point. 1t was
the arrival and stopping of William 7.
Bryan's special train. The Bryan train
also stopped for orders. The candidates
did not see each other until their re-
spective cars were passing slowly, but
as they passed they recognized each
other in the dim light from the car win
dows, and each leaning forward, waved
his hand in salutation. Col. Bryan and
Judge Yates, however had field an eX-
tended conversation, and the women Of
the respective parties exchanged courte-
sizes and bouquets.
The Roosevelt special arrived here at
II o'clock, three hours behind time, and
the governor was driven Immediately to
the platform erected in front of the court
house, where he spoke. Apparently the
entire city had turned out to see and
cheer the candidate. The governors S
speech was brief, owing to the lateness of
the hour, and was in part as follows:
'I see before me men who served in
the navy and the regular army near me
or under my personal command on tine
battlefield at Santiago. Here are brothers
and sons who were in the army THAI you
have been told to be afraid of. These
brothers and sons who fought to uphold
the honor of the flag are co-heirs in all
the honor that the flag can shelter. They
are co-heirs, too, in all the shame or
failure. You, too, are the heirs of the
