MINERS TO STRIKE.
State Officers Of United Mine
Workers Order Strike 70
Beqin Tuesday.

East Palestine, May 6.--The coal
miners Of sub-district No. 4, which is
comprised Of East Palestine, New
Waterford, Negley and Cannelton, Pa,
will go on a strike.
President Haskins and Secretary
Savage Of the United Mine Workers
Of America were present at the mass
meeting of miners which was held in
miners hall here. There was large
turnout of the underground workers.
The convention was in session about
four hours and the final decision was
to strike and the state officers ordered
the men to strike Tuesday.
The operators Of East Palestine, and
New Waterford would not come to the
meeting as they do not want to grant
the mems demands.
The miners demanded pay for So
called dead work." which they have
been performing gratuitously in the
past. 1t is said that this class of work
Is paid for in other parts Of the state.
The rooms In many of the mines are
SO low that 1t is impossible for the
mules to enter, which makes it neces-
sary to lower the floors. For this
work the men ask extra compensation
Dead work. includes the removal
of all substances not coal, such as
dirt, slate. stone and other matter not
combustible. The men want 60 cents
a foot for taking out a bottom.

Akron, May GA new contract has
been made by the county commission
ers and Tax Inquisitor Bowman. The
action was taken some time ago at a
special meeting Of the board. There
is no entry on the minutes of the
board to show the contract has been
entered into but it is known that it
Is fact.
The inquisitor now has a number
of young women at work taking an
abstract of every piece of real
estate in the county. He pro-
poses to wage vigorous campaign this
year and those who escape paying an
assessment can consider themselves
fortunate.

TWO PLANS FOR TRIP
Brigade Eneam pment viii Give
Way to Separate Regiment
aIEncampmsnts--Ns- aI
tIonaf Guard Notes.

Members of the National guard all
over the state are expressing them
selves favorably towards plans which
will give the different regiments O
chance to visit the Pan American ex.
position at the time of the annual en-
campment.
The Acknowledgement has already is
sued orders doing away with brigade
encampments and providing for separ-
ate regimental encampments at differ
ent times. The plan which has been
generally proposed is to have the en-
campments held at lake PORTS and to
have the pay of the men used for the
balance Of the trip to Buffalo. The ad-
ditional expense would be very slight
and nearly every national guardsman
is in favor of taking the trip.
Captain Fisher. of Co. c., Of the
Eighth, said Monday morning that he
understood that there was a still better
plan on foot. 'As / understand It," he
said, "the state encampments will only
be nominally in the state and the real
encampments will be at Buffalo. For
instance our regiment will camp at
COnneaut according to the records, as
all papers and records will be signed as
from that point. The state will also
pay fares to that point as to an en-.
campment and the railroads which
want that business, I understand, are
willing to take the troops the rest OF
the way to Buffalo at their own en-
pense. This plan, of course, will be
still cheaper for the boys, but believe
Co. c. would be heartily in favor Of
either one."
The times for encampment are not
set.

A MODERN RAILWAY.
Fourteen Roads Now Incorpos-
ated and Nearly Fifty En-
gIneors In the Field.

The Youngstown Telegram in com.
menting on the plans and intentions
of the Richland and Mahoping railroad
company has the following to say:
There Is not perosn who built a
building or industry ten years ago
who, II he were to build now, could
not improve on its construction. If
any existing railroad today put out a
force of engineers to build road over
the same territory their line ran, it
would not build the same line 1t now
has. Big consultations would have
been declared impossible years ago.
So 1t is that when a young man, up
to-date in every particular, a genius in
his line and an indefatigable worker,
with corps of efficient and brilliant
engineers, plans road that is beyond
the comprehension of most men, he is
greeted with smiles and derision by
those individuals. The projected plans
of the Richland and Mahoning railroad
will mean one OF the finest, most com
plete, modern and fast time roads in
the world.
A Telegram representative was per-
mitted to look over the plans of the
new line and there Is not a single fea-
ture In railroad building that could be
taken advantage of that has been
overlooked. First. cost has been a
secondary consideration. but minimum
running expenses only considered.
Realizing that in few years grade
crossings will have TO be abolished
by all roads. the company is avoiding
them. Grades are cut down and
bridged over. and curves are eliminat-
ed to surprising degree. On the road
projected to Cleveland trains will be
able to make 80 miles an hour without
any trouble. The r. e. M. now has IA
roads incorporated and nearly 80 engi.
neers in the field. In few days a
plan will be announced that will not
only astonish railroad men and others,
but will mean more to Youngstown
than any other move ever made by the
railroads in that city for it's benefit.

Forms Unique Regiment.
The regiment was the most unique
of its kind ever organized, and was
much scoffed at in the beginning. Be-
fore it had been two days in Cuba the
wisdom of its organiza tion was plainly
seen. The men were fitted for any
kind of campaigning. Their colonel
and lieutenant colonel took what they
took. The regiment practically foraged
itself, and was first in the field and
first to be baptized with fire. At Las
Guasimas, Kettle hill and San Juan it
gave up its bravest and best and went
on to victory.

fused money compensation for his
services.
OF Delicate Health when . Lad.
Roosevelt was a pale and delicate
boy, the very opposite in health OF
what he has since become. Plenty of
outdoor air and phys exercise soon
began to give him a good degree of
bodily vigor. and in his college years
he became skilled in boxing and
wrestling.
In Harvard university he held good
rank as a scholar, giving especial at
tention to natural history and gen.
eral historical subjects. After his
graduation from Harvard in 1850 he
continued his studies at Dresden and
then travelled in Europe and the east.
Roosevelt Enters Politics.
In 1881 Roosevelt, % years OF age.
began his active life in New York. And
with him activity was activity. His
father had instilled into his mind a
contempt for the man who drifts
through an inactive life of comfortable
self-indulgence, achieving nothing.
He tried a plunge into New York
politics. In his city district was re-
publican machine combination that
showed no disposition to recognize his
desire to become member of the leg
islature. He fought the machine and
defeated it.
In 1854 he appeared before the ma
ton. His health troubled him and he

During = busy Life He Has FOus1
Time for Much writing.


1t is now nearly 90 years since Theo-
dore Roosevelt took a place in the
public eye as man OF affairs. Grant
ing him the prophets three score years
and ten, only little more than third
of his period Of maturity has passed.
And yet IA volumes stand to his credit.
And If we add the books in which his
name appears as editor and contrib
utor. like "The History of the Royal
Navy" and the book of which he and
Mr.. Henry Cabot Lodge are joint au-
thors, the total number of his books
is 81.
This would be remarkable in an
author whose sole occupation was
writing. 1t appears still more so in
man to whom authorship is but an
incident, when we recall that he has
served three terms in the New York
legislature; that he was for five years
a member of the civil service commits
sion. and for three arduous years pres
ident of the board of police commits

ample revelation as to what manner Of
a character he will bring to the presi-
dency. On "Americanism," in an inter-
view in 1898, he said:
Il naturally disapprove of the half
conscious spread-eagle Americanism,
which is ever exerting itself at the
wrong moments. / dislike il, Of
course, when it is put forward as plea
to excuse moral shortcomings of a
kind usually connected with public af-

with Spain, governor OF New York and
vice president of the United States.
Furthermore, 10 appreciate fully
the size OF sir. Roosevelt's product as
an author we must bear in mind two
more things-the character of his
work and the diversity of his sub
jects. Most of his books are not such
as could be written off-hand. His His
tory of the Navy in the War Of 1872"
and his winning of the West" involved
great deal of searching among
archives and old manuscripts in state
and national government Offices. in
libraries and In private collections.
His subjects include naval history.
military history, frontier history, mu-
nicipal history, sport, biography, BIZ
ology. politics ethics and book re-
views.
Mr.. Roosevelt's style is that of
plain man telling straightforward
story. After reading his books you
are certain that he never paid any at
tention TO his style. and the evidence
is, not that the style is not good. but
that there is bsolutely no straining
after effect. He is essentially a prac-
teal man, but he is well endowed with
imagination, and this gives to his work
an occasional poetic touch that ap-
peals TO the readers sympathies. He
has, too, a power of coming striking
phrases and OF putting things in
way that catches the attention. "The

that his influence largely contributed
to the sending of Admiral Dewey 10

trymen there is one point upon which
! wish to lay especial stress; that is,
the necessity for feeling Of broad,
radical and intense Americanism, if
good work is to be done in any direc-
ton. Above all, the one essential for
success in every political movement
which is to do lasting good is that our
citizens should act as Americans, not
as Americans with,a prefix and quail
fication-not Is Irish-Americans, Ger
man-Americans, native Americans
but as Americans pure and simple.
Opinion ON Caste.
1T is an outrage for a man to drag
foreign politics into our contests and
vote as an lrishman or German or 9TH
err foreigner, as the case may be, and
there is no worse citizen than the pro-
fessional Irish dynamiter or German
anarchist, because Of his attitude to-
ward our social and political life, not
to mention his efforts to embroil us
with foreign powers. But ii is no less
an outrage to discriminate against one
who has become an American in good
faith, merely because OF his creed or
birthplace"
OF caste he has wrltten: "As for the
upper social world, the fashionable
