NEW YORKs LOVELY SURPLUS.

The census report which asserts that in Greater New York the female pop ulatiOn exceeds the male by slme 25.000 can surprise only those who fail to understand the actual position of New York as d city.
 The obvious explanation of the fig ures is that New York is the chief financial, commercial, and shopping center of l,he country, and that il is consequently the city which offers to woman the brCadest opportunity of self support and independence, the avenues to which have so increased here within the last decade.
 The surplus female population of New York is far from being an unfavor- able indication of it's sociological con- dition. On Ehe contrary. the slight eX- cess of less than 1 per cent in the fem mine population is not the least of those attractive features which make New York, If all cities in the country, the most attractive and the best worth liv- ing in-New York World.

stance given such as this to show that
 the statement made years ago in China at that time by an American officer,
 Commodore Tatnall-sthat blood is
 thicker than water" still holds true, and is still a predominant motive for lant American naval commander con sidered that the ties of common descent justified him in going to the rescue of Englishmen In distress. In this instance the obligations of common duty, added tc the ties of common descent, made it an easy task for a brave English army officer to lay down his fife in endeavor- ing to save the lives of American sol diers; and. more than this, tempered the grief of his afflicted father with pride that it was in a service such as this that his sons life was lost.
 It is at crises that the true spirit Of men and of nations Is brought to light Under ordinary conditions when there is no need for display of national feeling, it is easy to assume that it does not exist, just as in everyday life the ties of blood relationship that con- rect men together are sometimes over laid by slight misunderstanding; but when an emergency comes, which calls for an avowal or a repudiation of them. these old feelings reassert themselves, and frequently lead to the most praise worthy acts of self-sacrifice.

PORTRAIT WAS ALL THEY TOOK

Efforts are being made to recover the portrait which was stolen from the house If H. Dana Hutchinson al Fair fax street, Ashmont, on August 15, and a reward has been offered for its re- turn. The theft of the picture has proved a mystery which neither the family nor the police have been able to fathom. The picture is a large pastel portrait of Mir. Hutchinson's 19year- old daughter, and was presented to his wife by the latters mother Mrs. Mar tha A. Futile, on the young lady's en- trance to Smith college last year. On the morning of August 15 Mrs. Hutch inson and her two daughters left their home for a sojourn at Lake George. She had been gone only a few hours when her husband was notified by the police that his house had been entered. A pane in rear window had been cut out of the sash with a diamond and the door of the room in which the portrait hung had been smashed in, as all of the doors were locked Nothing was found disturbed, however, except the picture. although there were many things of greater intrinsic value aDCut the house which could have been taken with less difficulty. Appearances indicate that the work was done by some one who was acquainted with the house, and knew where the picture was kept yet the members Of the family are utterly at q loss to understand why this was taken and everything else in the build ing was left untOuched.-BOstOn Trans cript

AS MANY Miners
HAVE QUIT WORK rs
LEADERS PREDICTED
One Hundred Thousand Anthra-
cite Miners are on
Strike.
TIE UP NEARLY COMPLETE
The Miners in the Schuylkill Region
Have not the Same Grievances
as Others and SO They
Have Remained
at Work.
TIE UP NEARLY COMPLETE

Philadelphia, Sept. 17.-Reports from
the anthracite coalfields of this state in
dicate that the tie up caused by the strike
for higher wages of more than l00.OOO
mine workers is at least as complete as
the leaders of the United Mine Workers
of America, the organization back of the
strike, claimed at any time Companies
and individuals owning mines who had
claimed that their Workings would oper-
ate as usual, despite the strike order, ap-
parentv reckoned without accurate
knowledge of the attitude of their men,
1t is true that some operations in the
Uazeton region were working with as
high rs so per cent of the men at work.
Nevertheless the greater number of men
in the district are idle
In Scranton and Wilkesbarre districts
the tie up was practically complete. As
was expected, the Schuylkill region, with
Pottsville for central point, was at
work with very few defections. These
men have not the same grievances that
prevail In the other districts. and il they
go on strike 1t will be largely through
sympathy.
President Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers, who has established headquar-
ters at Hazleton and is personally direct
ing the strike, estimates that over 100, 900
men have struck and that $4,000 more
will join them very speedily.

MINERS DETERMINED.
Thomas Webster Pays Visit to
Anthracite Coal Region.
He States That the Miners are Fully
Prepared, no Matter What
May be the Outcome
of the Strike.

Thomas Webster, well-known press
man of this city visited his parents ut
Scranton, Pa, on Saturday. Mr.. Web
stcr states that the strike Of the coal
miners in that section is very near at its
highest point and the strikers expect an
early compromise.
The miners are fully prepared no mat
ter what the outcome will be- They
have all laid in large supply of food.
He states that coal in that section has
advanced fifty cents a ton. The saloons
arc all tightly closed and meetings are
held by officers and miners OF the union
every day in large open fields.
All the unions in that valley are being
assessed as the union has not vet de-
clared dividend for their striging min
ers, hut will probably do 50 in the near
future which will be about SO or 81 a
week.
The strikers have also decided that the
coal which is loaded in cars ready to he
shipped to out going points will be stop
ped.
The strike has not effected the people
of Wilmington vet. as the prices in coal
are still the same. Mr. Webster re-
turned to this city early yesterday morn

WORKING AT O0LERAINE.
McAdoo strikers Fail TO Induce Men
at Former Place to Go Out.

McAdOo Strikers Fail to Induce Men
at Former Place to Go Out.
Hazlcton, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE strikers
from McAdoo are trying hard to get the
men at Colerane to quit, and COM
mittee was sent there before starting
time for that purpose. There was some
hesitation on the part of lot of the
Coleraine men, but when the whistle
blew they marched into the mines. The
collieries at that place are working short
handed, however.
The G. B. Markle collieries at Jeddo,
Highland and Oakdale employing 2,2OO
men, started working short handed.
Great efforts were made by United Mine
Workers officials to bring these men out,
but they failed. The Markls mine at
Ebervale, however, employing 200 men,
did not make an attempt to start.
The only mines on the north side which
started with the full number of men
were Lattimer, Harwood and Pond
Greek. The officials of these mines had
notified their employees that IL they did
not report for duty the operations would
be suspended indefinitely
| The Coke mines at Drifton, Eckley and
Beaver Meadow on the south side and
the same company's operations at Onei-
da, Derringer and Gowen on the west
side are working. but none of them full
handed. They are not strongly organ
! izcd.
At the Lehigh Valley Coal compsny's
washeries an attempt was made to start
work, but the nonappearance of the
breaker boys prevented 1t.
The A. Pardee eollieries at Cranberry
and Crystal Ridge, employing S35 men,
started short handed, as did also the NJ.
! $. Kemmerer mine at Sandy Run.
Among the big mines that did not at
tempt to start were those of the Lehigh
and Wilkesharre company at Audenreid
L. S. Wentz e Co. at Silver Brook, the
nAhson mines at Beaver Brook and the
A. s. Van Wyckle works at Milnesville.
