What Tim Do.

A man who lives on an up town street where the houses cost from SP5,- 900 up was surprised not long ago by seeing a man known to all New York CTS who patronize a we'll known res taurant coming from a house several doors below him with an air of proprie- torship.. This restaurant employee stood on the sidewalk for a few mo- ments and gazed admiringly at his house and then at Its respectable neighbors. For many years he has been connected with a certain New York restaurant as an attendant, and his fees have been generous. He knew all its patrons by name, and his polite ness and eagerness to render service have made him we'll liked. Wondering If this restaurant attendant, whom he knew only by his first name. could by any possibility have rented house on that street, the old resident came out to satisfy his curiosity.
 Hello" he said. "What are you do- Ing up here?"
 Good morning, Mir. Blank" said the restaurant attendant. How do you like my new house? I have just bought 1t because think that my fam fly will like this neighborhood. You are perhaps aware that my tips have been generous for many years, and l can now afford to live in this house very easily"
 His questioner had no objection to him as neighbor, and he congratulat- ed the restaurant attendant on his prosperity. The house had actually been bought by tips, for It's owners salary probably averaged about S15 a week.-New York Sun.

STRIKE STILLUNBROKEN
Miners Will Insist on Recogni-
 tion of Union.
PRESIDENT MITCHELL SPEAKS.

Tells Men Not to Return to Work
 Until Convention of Miners Repre-
 senting Every CoIliery Shall De-
 eide on Accepting operators' oner.
 Philadelphia, Oct. 3.-No break has yet occurred in the ranks of the striking mine workers, though additional notices of the offer of an increase of 10 per cent in wages were posted throughout the re- zion yesterday. In fact, there are many indications of an intent on the part of the strikers to insist on other conces- sions and to also remain out until the operators give recognition to their na- tional organization.
 The feature of the day was the parade and mass meeting of mine workers at Wilkesbarre, arranged with the object of demonstrating the strength of the Unit ed Mine Workers. A conservative esti- mate places the number of strikers in the procession at 15,0OO, and the day was generally given Ep as a holiday by the people of Wilkesbarre and other Lu- zerne county towns.
 The mass meeting was addressed by President Mitchell and other officers of the miners organization. President Mitchell in his speech congratulated the strikers on having already received a proffer of 10 per cent increase in wages. He said their cause had been recognized everywhere as righteous one and that the time was not far distant when they would receive proper compensation for their labor. He advised them to stand firmly together. He said the strike would not be ended by him and could only be closed when a convention of miners rep resenting every union and every copiery shall so decide. He hoped that not one man would desert the ranks until the vic tory is complete.
 Mir. Mitchell was expected to indicate in his speech his view on the 10 per cent increase conceded by the operators, but beyond noting 1t as a victory he. had nothing to say on that point.
 Neither did he intimate anything as to the probability of an early convention of miners, and after the meeting, when questioned on that subject, he said that not a local union had requested the call ing of a convention.
 A significant move in this direction, however, developed last night at Shenan- doah, where all the local branches of the United Mine Workers held meetings and selected delegates to a convention to be called later by President Mitchell This is the first announcement of the selec- ton of convention delegates.
 The entire region was quiet yesterday, and very few mines were in operation.

Increase Tn Population of Cities.

Statistics compiled at the census bu- reau, based on the population of large cities which have been announced to the present time, demonstrate that the 155 largest cities in the United States numer- ically increased In population from 1890 to 1900 almost exactly as they did be- tween 1880 and 1890. These 155 cities increased their population 4,706,107 from 1880 to 1890 and 4,267 ,593 from 1890 to 1900, or just 7S, 154 less during the latter than In the former period. Of course when the aggregate percentages of in- crease of the population of these 1855 cities during these two periods are com pared they show that the percentage was considerably lower in the last ten years because the increase is compared with a larger population in 1900 than 1t was in 1SAO

Cnnfured by EIIinInnn

Persistent native reports, which gener- ally are believed, have been current in Manila for several days to the effect that Captain Deyercaux Shields and Company F of the Twenty-ninth regiment of infan- try, consisting of 54 men, stationed in Boag, Marinduque island, embarked on Sept. 13 on the gunboat Villalobos and landed on the Martinique coast on Sept. II, where 300 of the enemy, armed with rifles, supposedly from Luzon, surprised the Americans. The latter fought for several hours, until their ammunition was exhausted, after which the Ameri. cans were overpowered and surrendered, relief being impossible, after at least four of the soldiers had been killed, among whom, according to reports, was Captain Shields. The Americans also had sev- eral wounded.

CANAAN CONN, THURSDAY OCTOBER Al
BRYAN IN WISCONSIN.
Makes Eighteen speeche. In Fifteen
 Hours.

Lacrosse, Wis, Oct. 3.-When Will liam J. Bryan concluded his last speech here last night, he had made IS addresses and had covered about 15 hours of time during the day. Beginning at 8 o'clock in the morning he talked at intervals un- til II o'clock at night, putting in fully six hours of speechmaking. The first speech was made at Shakepee, and after that appearance he spoke in succession at Jordan, Belle Plaine, Henderson, Le- seuer, St. Peter, Mankato, Janesville, Wasecka, Towatona, Dodge Center, Kas- son, Rochester. St. Charles, Winona and three speeches here. The region traversed Is a rich agricultural section, and MT. Bryan's remarks were addressed especial ly to farmers, the trust question receiving even a greater share of attention than usual.
 MT. Bryan made the principal speech of the day at Mankato, where a stop of 40 minutes was made. MT. Bryan stood on coal draw while he talked. He as- serted that the Republicans were trying to fight the campaign on the lowest plane on which a campaign was ever pitched. In the east, he said, they tell us of pros- perity in the west that we have never seen and in the west of big wages in the east which they do not dare to boast of in the anthracite coal regions. He re- ferred to the closing of the cracker facto- ry at this place as an object lesson as to what might be expected of the trusts.
 Referring to the ice trust, which he said is the only trust that Republicans know about; notwithstanding its opera tions were confined to New York, while the other trusts reach all over the coun- try, he again suggested that the Repub- lican governor of New York should be at home looking after the trusts in his state instead of travelling over the country campaigning.
 Speaking of the Philippine question, Mir. Bryan repeated that he was willing to assume all the responsibility for the ratification of the treaty, but not for the treaty itself. The Republicans had first given the credit to the Lord. Was it not a great come down to attribute it to the speaker, he asked

Next to bread a Klondike cook strives to achieve distinction by his dough nuts. This may appear frivolous at first glance and at second, considering the materials with which he works, m impossible feat. But doughnuts arc all important to the man who goes on trail for journey of any length. Bread freezes easily, and there Is less grease and sugar and hence less heat in it than in doughnuts. The latter do not solidify except nt extremely low tenn peratures, and they are very handy to carry in the pockets of a Mackinaw jacket and munch as one travels along. They are made much after the manner of their brethren fin warmer climes, with the exception that they are cook cd in bacon grease. The more grease the better they are. Sugar is the cooks chief stumbling block. If it is very scarce. why, add more grease. The men never mind on trail. In the cabin-well, that's another matter. Be- sides, bread is good enough for them then.-Harper's Bazar.

BURNED AT THE STAKE.
Terrible Vengeance Wrecked on a Negro.
CONFESSED BEFORE HIS DEATH.

Implicated Others, Who Have Been
 Arrested-Husbando of Colored Mans
 Victim Set Fire to the Wood Piled
 About Culprit's Feet.
 Montgomery, Ala, Oct. 3.-Winfield Townsend, a negro, was burned at the stake in Fillmore, the adjoining county to this, yesterday. He was chained to a tree, pine knots were piled about him, and the fire was started by his victims husband.
 Mrs. Lon Harrington, wife of one of the leading citizens and farmers of the Eclectic neighborhood, ten miles from this city, was alone In her home when Townsend entered. He seized her and threw her violently to the floor. She screamed once before the negro clutched her threat, and Robert Nichols, passer by, heard her and ran to her relief. He found her unconscious, with blood streaming from her throat. The negro jumped through the window and fled as Mir. Nichols entered.
 The news spread, the dozen stores in Eclectic were closed, and all joined in the pursuit. Bloodhounds were secured, and they followed the trail, and at 12:30 yesterday morning, panting and exhaust ed, they gathered about a big tree in front of a country store. The crowd soon surrounded the tree, and the negro was seen high up in the foliage.
 He was brought down and carried to the scene of his crime, where he was positively identified by Mrs. Harrington. A vote was taken as to how he should die, and by almost unanimous vote the several hundred present decided to burn him, which they did.
 Townsend made confession implicat- ing seven other negroes in his crime. As this is the second white woman assaulted in this vicinity within a month it is believed there is a conspiracy among the negroes.
 One of the negroes implicated in the confession of Townsend was in jail here charged with burglary, and as threats of lynching were made he was sent to Mont deputy sheriff had a wild drive of IA miles through the country, and had he been 80 minutes later a crowd of men who left here by train would have inter- cepted him.
 After reaching Montgomery two other negroes who are implicated in the crime were arrested by the deputy. They are Frank Floyd and Jake Floyd, brothers of the negro, Feb Floyd, who was lynch ed at Wetumpka Sept. 9. A singular CO., incidence Is that Mrs. Harrington, who was assaulted yesterday, is kinswoman of Miss Pearson, who was assaulted on Sept. 3, for which Feb Floyd was lynch ed. More trouble may arise.

He said, how ever, that the investigations had not been confined to a mere revision of accounts.

STEVENSON'S LETTER.
Accepts PopuIist Vice Presidential
 Nomination.

In letter received at the Populist party national headquarters Hon. Adlai E. Ste vcnson accepts the nomination for vice president rendered him by that party ear ly this month.
 Mir. Stevenson's response is in part as follows:
 By your communication of Sept. . I am officially advised of my selection as the candidate of the Peoples party for the office of vice president of the United States to fill the vacancy upon your tick ct occasioned by the resignation of Hon. Charles A. Towne.
 ''The action of the Peoples party in se- lecting candidates outside of its own or ganization is almost without precedent in our political history. The explanation is found in your own candid declaration:
 The members of the Peoples party in all sections realize that we have reach cd crisis in which the very life of free institutions Is involved, a crisis in which mere party considerations are of second ary importance and should be laid aside until the peril is averted.'
 Upon the important questions of finance, of domestic administration and of reform in our methods of taxation the platform of the Peoples party gives no uncertain sound. It is no less emphatic in Its demand for return to the policy of honest and economical expenditures of the public money. The further demand for wise and efficient legislation looking to the suppression of trusts cannot fail to challenge the attention of all thoughtful men.
 Tn common, however, with the Silver Republican and the Democratic party you recognize the important fact that all these are but questions of the hour. In the presence of the issue of imperialism others are but as the dust in the balance. It Is not strange, then, that there should now be concert of action between those who sincerely believe that a crisis has been reached in which mere party consid- erations are of secondary importance
 Imperialism, the republic or the em- pire,' Is indeed the overshadowing issue with which we are confronted in the Its determination Is to be by the Amer ican people through the peaceful instru- mentality of the ballot. Meanwhile its discussion will continue at the freside and on the hustings with an earnestness rarely eQualed in our history. It was Burke who said: I love clamor when there is an abuse. The alarm bell dis turbs the inhabitants, but 1t saves them from being burned In their beds' Again thanking the committee and those they represent, l accept the nomi- nation so generously rendered me. Should your action he ratified by the people at the polls it will be my earnest endeavor to discharge with fidelity the duties of the great ofiice."
