A Scranton, Pa, Saturday after
noon, the convention Of the striking
anthracite coal miners decided to ac-
cept the 10 per cent net increase in
wages offered by the mine owners, on
condition that the latter abolish the
sliding scale In the Lehigh and Schuyl-
Kill regiOns-the scale II these two
named districts TO remain stationary

TO adjust other grievances complained
Of with committees Of their own EN-.
pioyees. 1t was further decided,
should these conditions be unaccept-
a0le to the operators, to submit the
the question TO arbitration. The
individual coal operators refuse to
discuss the proposition OF the miners
convention, and are evidently waiting
TO see what the coal-carrying roads

that the presidents OF the roads will
meet 10 New York to consider the
miners proposition.

The American share CT the loot at
rien Tsin is larger than at first re-
ported. 1t has been understood that
all the Americans took after the
capture Of Tien Tsin WAS gold amount.
ing Ia value TO s27S,0O0 This report
arose from the fact that Ii Hung
Chang asked General Chafiee to re-
store that sum TO the Chinese govern
ment. II now appears that this s27S,
600 was only the value Of cold coins
aud gold bars taken from the Chinese
treasury at Tien Tsin and apparently
it was only the money taken from the
treasury which concerned Earl Ii as
government Official; Thugs Of value
we're also obtained from other sources
and 1t is now reported that the total
value OF the loot will reach figure
about Sl00, 900 in excess OF the amount
originally reported. The gold coin
and gold bars taken from the treasury
were melted by order Of General
'Chafee. There is SINE doubt about
whether the United States is entitled
to keep this gold. whatever its
amount may fnally be determined to
be, because this government has been
proceeding on the theory that no war
exists in China. The expedition ~of
General Chaffee has been repeatedly
defined as a rescue expedition and not
an invasion. Nevertheless, 1t is ex.
tremely improbable that the golt will
ever be returned to China, even that
part Of it identified and claimed BY Ii
Hung Chang. 1t may be held as spoils
Of war, for the reason given. out 1t
will probably BE- held as part pay-
ment Of the indemnity which America

ADVICE TO PARENTS.
Little Children Should Be Taught rbsts
Pull Names.

Full ndmcS-
It seems superfuous to advise Pc
rents to teach children their names,
because the response viii be at oncs
that they do know their names. So
they do, but only half. II you make
inquiry from little children from two
to five years of age. you will hDd, as a
rule, that they are known as Johnny,
or Maggie or Nellie, but whether their
other names ape Brown, Jones or Rob-
inson, they have no idea.
Children do not hear themselves ad-
dressed by their family names at
home, nor by their little acquaint-
ances. Furthermore, they cannot
tell whom they belong to, because
they do not know the first names Of
their parents, or where they live.
In a village or small town, where
everyone knows everyone else, this
does not much matter, but in a city,
where little children get lost, this ig-
norance causes lots Of trouble to the
police, and anguish to their parents,
and all because their parents have
neglected to spend few minutes in
teaching the little ones to speak their
full names plainly and TO memorize
their street and numbers.-Golden

RATE OF NAIL GROWTH.
Observations Made by Doctor for Pro
fessional Purposes

fessional Purposes.
A considerable divergence of opin-
ion exists as to the rate at which the
finger nails grow. Bean gives as arule
that the nails Of the hand grow one
nm. per week. At this rate the nails
which average Is nm. in length
would take 10j days to grow out. Du-
four gives 12l and 1873 days. The
fact is that the pace Of growth varies
very much, not only at different ages,
but in different individuals of the
same age. Influenced by many OK
ternal and internal conditions, the
pace also varies in the same person
from time to time. A few obserya-
ions will be submitted to the notice
Of the reader as to the growth Of fin
ger nails in men Of dilrerentages. At
2l years the nail was replaced in 1876
days, at 81 years in 159 days, at 80
years in IS days, at 80 years 40 days,
at g. years III days. 1t is curious
that in this growth the swiftest grow
er was tuberculosis subject, who had
a sharp attack Of blood splitting dur
ing the observation. Sea air is said
10 quicken the growth of the nails,
and profound grief has been credited
with the power Of destroying them.
a valuable point Of diagnosis is af-
forded by the growth Of the finger
nail. In distinguishing between true
paralysis of eccentric origin and the
various pseudo paralysis Of hysteria,
which sometimes so closely simulate
organic diseases, it is well to remem-
Der that the growth Of thenail is mod
flied by most of the centric LESSONS,
while its development is not Affected
by hysteria. 1t is asserted that intra-
cranial hemorrhages arrest the nail
growth.

WANTED THE MUSIC.
Italian Objected, Because Conductor
Failed to Ring UP Fare.


Failed to Ring Up Fare.
The conductor of a Brooklyn troll
ley car had a peculiar experience with
ian Italian one night last week. The
Italian wanted to ride with music
thrown in for five cents. A passenger
described heincident;
II boarded the car with six other
passengers, including an Italian, at
the suburban end Of the road on one
Of the late trips. The car had gone a
short distance when the conductor
began to collect the fares. The Ital-
ian was on the rear seat and his money
was collected last. Everything went
well for about half mile, when the
Italian jumped to his feet and waved
his hands at the conductor The
conductor went to the excited man,
and asked him what the trouble was.
The Italian said;
Me wanta my fiva centa back
"The conductor told him he could
not have the money The Italian in
sisted
Every boda getts music for fva
centa; me no got
"The conductor grasped the stu
alton at once, and seeing that he was
accused of nickeling, started to clear
himself. He showed the Italian that
there were seven passengers on the
car, and that that number of fares
were registered. He also explained
why the Italian did not get any music
for his nickel He said:
While collecting the fares in The
front part of the car l rang up one
fare too much, and if rang up yours
Iwould be out five cents
while this explanation was going
on the man from Italy was still shout
ing for his 'fya centaY and did not
stop until he got off the car further
down, still jabbering al the conduc-
torn. Y. Sun.

WEST POINT.
A Little History Relating to the NM
tsry Academy.


tsry Academy.
The military reservation at West
Point occupies rocky promontory
which extends into the Hudson river
and contains about 1885 acres. Both
north and south of the point the
river is inolosed by high mountains,
and the channel becomes narrow
gorge, the narrowest and deepest por-
ton of the Hudson. 1t curves
around 20 that the Notifications on
the point can command navigation
in both directions, and is therefore,
SAYS w. E. Curtis, in the Chicago Rec
ord, of great strategic Importance.
Lying along the east bank, and direct
" opposite the military academy res
ervation. is Constitution island, a
tract of about $50 acres, which
formerly belonged to the govern
ment and was the site of Fort Consti-
tuition, so frequently referred to in
revolutionary history. 1t was the
chief defense Of the Hudson. Gen.
Greene commenced the work of forti-
fication in 1875, and Gen. Clinton
completed it in 177S. The property
was sold by the government to private
narties in 1878, and the island has
since been cultivated as farm. Part
of the old barracks remain, having
been reconstructed into a residence.
The old. weather beaten house was
the home Of Susan and Anne Warner,
who in 1851 wrote "The Wide, Wide
World" and in 1852 "Queechy," two
stories that were universally popular
two generations ago. Perhaps "Tbe
Wide. Wide World" stood next to
"Unce Toms Cabin" in the number
Of editions printed.
Miss Susan Warner, whose hand
bold most of both stories, died several
years ago, and is buried among the
military heroes and cadets in the West
Point cemetery. Her sister, Anna
Bartlett Warner, still survives, and,
although so years Of age, is as bright
and active as she was quarter of q
century ago. She considers herself q
part of the military establishment.
She crosses the river in her littlsSboat
almost daily, receives her mail with
the officers and cadets at the post
headquarters, teaches a Bible class of
cadets in the chapel every Sunday
afternoon, attends all the military
functions with as much interest and
enthusiasm as if she were a schoolgirl,
and probably knows more officers Of
the army than any other woman in
the world, because she has had a per
sonal interest in every class that has
been graduated from the academy for
half century.
Miss Warner lives alone in the old
fashioned farmhouse on Constitution
island, with colored man and his
wife TO look after her and the farm.

LIGHTNING's QUEER FREAK.
Tore OF Mira Lees Shoe-A Burned
Foot Her Only Injury.

Lightning's red bolt hit Mrs. NJ. V.
Lee, after demohshing her home,
says the Atlanta Journal. Starting
at the chimney top, the current ran
through the roof and ripped the pic
lures, plastering and furniture to
pieces. Then it jumped into the
kitchen and struck Mrs. Lee in the
foot, tearing her shoe off and giving
her severe shock. An hour after the
bolt struck her Mrs. Lee had recov-
cred and felt no pain from the visit
of the ightning's bolt except burn
on the foot.
There were two persons in the
house at the time, Mrs. Lee and Miss
Katie Lee, a young girl of IA. Mrs.
Lee was standing by table in the
kitchen, and Miss Katie was standing
in the front door.
The bolt struck the chimney on the
right side of the house. 1t tore away
a portion of the chimney and glanced
to the roof, making hole in it two
feet across, scorching the shingles.
The bolt then descended into the
front room Immediately beneath and
tore up a number of pictures, demol-
ishing the furniture. 1t knocked
the plsstering of in this room and
in the hall adjacent.
1t bounded from one side of the
room to the other. Every vase in the
room was broken. Plastering was
knocked from the wall within two
feet of where Miss Kate Lee was
standing, but she was not even
shocked.
In the room just beyond the front
soom number of things were scat
tered around, but little damage was
done.
The kitchen is the next room on
the same side.
Mrs. Les called FOR help. Her
daughter sashed through the blind
ing smoke and soot and caught her
mother Just ae she was about 70 fall.
The young lady tore the flaming shoes
from her mothers foot, burning Der
hands in doing so.
Neighbors ran in. DE-. J. A. Ben
son, who lives near by, was hastily
summoned. He gave Mrs. Lee some
thing to quiet her nerves and she was
soon restored. 81
DR.. Benson was of the opinion that
if Mrs. Lees shoe had been little
more damp the lightning would have
killed her instantly. She had been
out in the yard moment and her
shoes were slightly wet. Had the
shoes been absolutely dry it is prob
able that she would have escaped the
shock altogether
A strange incident Of the occur
renee is that absolutely nothing in
the kitchen, where Mrs. Lee stood,
shows any signs Of having been
struck. The room is in good order.
