 "Europe win never march out of Amer lea. north or south at the bidding of the Monroeists In fact, Pan-Americanism in it's widest sense Is idle.

, The Miners May Go Out.

Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 5.-The miners strike situation looks more serious to- night. The miners National Board has authorized the district board to use ex- treme measures if necessary to force the Big Four operators to terms.
 President Richardson of the Miners Union, said tonight.
 we will order strike tomorrow If we can find no other way of securing a settlement Ninety per cent. of the men will walk out"
 State Labor Commissioner Johnson is here and has offered his services as ar bitrator. The district board decided. however, that arbitration is not wanted for the present.
 All the companies are preparing for trouble. Stockades are being built about the mines, and guards are being posted. There Is bad feeling between union and ncn-union men and serious trouble may eEsue.
 The miners district officials will meet tomorrow and canvass the situation. The calling of the strike can hardly be avoid ed now as failure to strike would In the miners mind mean the disorganiza- tion of the union. The companies have offered the men every concession except recognition of the union.

TIE Doctor She Wanted.

Intelligent women are always doing
bright things, and Mrs. A. A. Libby, a
competent nurse, at Pownal, Me, did
a bright thing, and did it in bright
way, when she sent for the doctor she
wanted.
1t all came about in this wise:
Early last winter she was stricken
down with the grip, which left her very
weak and without appetite.
The sight of food nauseated her.
A lady with whom she was stopping,
realizing that it is almost rs hazardous,
to neglect the effects of the grip as the
disease itself, the effects commonly
being low, vitiated condition of the
blood, impaired digestion, loss of ap-
petite and strength and increased sus-
ceptibility to disease,-said she must
have q doctor.
I" asked the lady,, said Mrs. Libby,
March 9TH, 1900, eff she would get the
doctor | wanted. She said she would,
and l asked her to go and get bottle of
Hoods Sarsaparilla. She laughed at
such an unexpected turn; but got the
medicine and l began taking it. My
appetite came back, I began to grow
strong, and now I am well and have
not had..a bad cold this winter
But there is more to be said.
Some time previously, Mrs. Libby
had taken Hoods Sarsaparilla for ca
tarrh and headache, by which she had
been greatly troubled, and it quickly
relieved her and, to use her own words,
did her world of good.
Hoods Sarsaparilla Is the medicine
that acts directly and peculiarly on the
blood, Kidding it of all impurities and
making it rich and abundant, and is
positively unequalled for renovating
and building up the whole system, cur
ing all scrofulous diseases, catarrh,
dyspepsia, kidney complaint, and re-
storing health and strength after the
grip, pneumonia, and all prostrating
or facilitating sicknesses, also after
scarlet fever, diphtheria, and other
blood poisoning diseases.
Don't fail to take Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. 1t will surely do you good.

In my opinion new location for prison with
new buildings is necessary. Our prison is far be-
hind the times and the yard is crowded that it is
impossible for to secure room for needed build
ings. Our cell room is getting old, and the shops
are in bad condition. When the legislature con-
venes will recommend the purchase Of a new site
and an appropriation for buildings. This
hollow is no place for modern and up-to-date
prison. and believe it would be much better for the
state if site sufficiently large could be purchased
to enable us to have garden that would raise all
the vegetables used here. There are many such
sites near the city Just accessible the prison
is today. New stone would have to be purchased
for cell house, but the stone in the old cell house
would be good enough to put into the walls of the
new shops Most of the construction work could be
done by the inmates Of the prison. and thereby the
cost of the buildings would be materially lessened
and we would be able to employ the inmates work
that would not in active competition with free
labor. I am of the opinion that it would take five
or six years to build prison and shops and
the prisoners who are not employed in the manu-
facture of binder Irvine could be used to good
advantage. It's question that deserves serious and
careful consideration from Legislative bodies for
we certainly in need of prison.

GENIUS is said to be a peculiar structure of
mind with which each individual is endowed by
nature; aptitude Of mind which is peculiar to
each man and which qualities him for certain kinds
Of action, special success in any pursuit.
Under this description might include every
man. for every individual excels in some certain
peculiar manner or way. But we desire to consider
this appellation in another light, in the thought it
carries to the great jority when they refer to
man being genius Is it not fact that these
complimentng critics interpret to the distinguished
Individuals though it the cause-a
natural mental faculty and ntuitive power superior
to others?-and besides being endowed with a
peculiar natural aptitude, also possessed OF a
characteristic which be attained only by natures
assistance?
Biography abounds with the names of persons
to whom this appellation is applied. But we have
never found an instance where human being was
thus titled and who did not acquire the particular
excellence only after years of persistent and arduous
TOLL nor have we ever heard of position that could
not be filled by another man.
With apology to "Success," we make mention
of several historical characters
Carlyle has been considered genius, but he
declared that he wrote with the utmost difficulty,
and never completed page of his great histories
until be had consulted every known authority in the
great libraries.
Webster prepared for the most insignificant
occasion with infinite labor
Demosthenes refused to speak informal &C.
casons without time to prepare, and his reputation
was acquired only after years of patient toll.
Michael Angelo was tremendous worker.
Walter Scott, Hume and Montesquieu would
never have been distinguished had they not kept
everlastingly at it.
Emerson revised his writings with the greatest
care. His most striking sentences, which to
be the scntillations of genius we're written and
rewritten with persistent labor. Scarcely page of
his manuscript but that showed evidences of his
diligent revision
Thackeray would scribble page after page of
manuscript and tear each one up, sometimes writing
in this way for hours before he would be satisfied to
preserve what he had written
We thus see that it requires downright hard
work. resolute and persistent action, to reach this
height; and that it is never reached by fortunate
or single bold stroke.

A report has been submitted by
the special commission appointed
by Gov. Lind to investigate prison
labor. The committee has looked
into the methods in vogue in the
celebrated reformatories of Elmira,
New York, and Concord, and
warmly commends these. The re-
port states that according to the
systems in use there, remunerative
labor is completely subordinated
to education and discipline. The
committee recommends that the
Irvine plant be continued in OPP

business be continued until it is
replaced, and that the state-use
system be experimental with.

lying to all offences equally, the
minimum term Of the indetermi-
nate sentence is set as the mini
mum term under the law for the
offence for which the second con-
viction is secured. The maximum
term is set at twenty five years.
The object of the law is to provide
that criminals, once in state insti-
