ORIGIN Of the Snow Drop.

An old legend gives the follow
ing rs the origin of the snowdrop (:
After Adam and Eve had been
driven from the Garden of Eden,
Eve was disconsolate. One day
as she sat silently grieving, an
angel appeared and sought means
to comfort her. She longed for
the flowers, but the fast descend
ing snow was wrapping the bar
renearth in q robe Of white.
AS the angel stood and spoke
words of hope to the weeping, re-
pentant woman, he caught snow
flake, breathed gently upon it
and said:
stake form, pure snowflake,
bud and blossom, and be q COM
fort to humanity now and for
ever"
In = twinkling tho snowflake
changed into a beautiful flower,
as white and pure as the snow it.
self and when Eve beheld the
newborn blossom, gladness and
hope came to her heart, and she
smiled through her tears.
Having fulfilled his mission of
love, the angel departed; but
where he had stood there imme-
diately sprang up a circle of per-
feet snowdrops. Cincinnati Com

Ware, thrusting his left hand
into his pocket just as bystand-
ers seized him.
DR.. Piner and DR.. Bacon left
the room and q little later the

PLUCKY OFFICERS FIGHT.
City Marshal CoyIc Handles Two Men TO
the Queens Taste.
BOTH WERE pRoMPTLY ARRESTED.

Saturday was gay day in po-
lice circles. The city jail was
comfortably full and three
fourths of its occupants we're
also. The city jail doesn't hold
but four when it's that full, but
it more than meets the necessi-
ties in this peace-loving town.
It's a hot day in January when
the Darlington Jail gets full.
There was already one occu-
pant, Will Kelly, Jr., who was
arrested on an old charge for
which the fines had not been
paid.
Then came three blbulous trav-
elers with red noses and blood in
their eyes, who proceeded to the
restaurant of Borders & Murphy
to refresh themselves, scrap and
get run in.
Two of them were brothers,
named Harrell, but Marshal
Coyle didn't know they were
kinfolks, and thereby hangs the
tale of a lively fight in which that
officer again illustrated his cour-
age, strength and GOODNESS. When
he entered the restaurant alone
to make the arrests the three
men who had been scrapping
were at the lunch counter. The
marshal announced that he would
have to arrest them, but one of
them, . big-framed, six-footer,
sat on his high stool and pro-
claimed to the world that he
didn't have 20 be arrested and,
moreover, wouldn't be.
hr. Coyle insisted and as the
big bully resisted he e6was pulled
from his stool and fell precipit-
ately TO the floor.
This was the man who had the
brother, and the brother came in.
Had the marshal known he was
tackling q whole brotherhood he
would have probably summoned
the aid of a deputy before he
went in. The brother came in
with u stool which the officer
promptly took from him but

TRUTH WILL OUT.
Negro LsbOrcrs Taken From Illinois Gen.
tral Train at Central City.
CONDUCTORS REPORT AND
A PASSENGERS STORY.
Jim Wood and Gang Entered Train and
Ignored Conductors Remorstrances

DAwsoa sPsiNos, Ky, April Special
In an interview with repre-
sentative of the Illinois Central
Railroad Company to-day as to
yesterdays dispatch from Gen.
trail City to the Courier-Journal
with reference to the gang Of
men who were taken from the
train on that road at Central City
yesterday, he said:
81 presume the correspondent
did not mean to say Il 'trainload
of non-union workmen brought
from Hopkins county were per
suaded to return home,' but that
what he did try to say was that
it was trainload Of non-union
workmen enroute TO Hopkins
county.
"The facts are that the men
were employed by the Illinois
Central and had no connection
with the mines Of Hopkins coun-
ty. l saw the conductors official
report to the Louisville office.
He said there were sixteen col
ored laborers taken on the train
at Louisville, leaving that city at
Z O'Clock Monday morning. They
were going to Paducah in charge
of leader TO DO some special
work at that place and were
travelling on a company pass.
"When the train reached Cen
tral City Jim Woods and a gang
ofmen wentinto che where the
colored laborers were and told
them they couldn't 80 amy fur
ther, that they must stop ut Cen
trail City. The union miners
were holding q mass convention
at Central City and thought the
negroes were being taken to
Hopkins county to work in the
mines. Wood, who is district
president of the United Mine
Workers, succeeded in OBTAINING
all but two of the men, refusing
to believe the conductors repre-
sentation that they were railroad
laborers, and saying he would
furnish them transportation if he
would furnish them transporta-
tion if he found the conductors
statement to be true. The con-
ductor showed Wood the pass
these men were travelling on"
! This account Of the affair is
also corroborated by gentleman
who was a passenger on the same
train from Louisville. He said:
Sixteen negro laborers in
charge Of leader, boarded the
train ut Louisville, Monday morn
ling about T o'clock. When the
train pulled into Central City
a party Of some fifty union
miners met il and jim Woods,
District President Of the United
Mine Workers, and several others
boarded the car and told the ne
groes they must get off. A road
master Of the Illinois Central
went into the car and pro-
tested that the men were being
taken TO Paducah as an extra
gang TO do railroad work. The
conductor showed Wood the pass
the men were travelling on but
Wood insisted on his belief that
they were going to Hopkins
county mines and said they must
stop and he would investigate
and if they were rs represented
he would buy them tickets and
send them home. When the
train started the leader of the
gang and one other man jumped
on the car ana got away. The
others were led off up the street
as the train pulled out"

Madisonville, KY, March 3D.
The following review of the min
ing situation in this county is
signed by some of the most prom
inent citizens Of the town or
county:
''There is in Hopkins county,
Kentucky, eleven coal mines,
producing an average Of $500
tons per, day. OF these eleven
mines none works union labor.
There have been efforts made
time and time again to organize
these mines, but all have resulted
in absolute failures. The miners
are satisfied, have never struck,
and are contented in every way.
Good wages are paid to them,
satisfactory in every way, and In
addition to making a good living,
quite number Of them own
their own homes, and some have
bank accounts. This is the con-
dition of the coal miners in Hop
kins county. As stated before,
there have been many efforts
made within the last ten years
to organize these miners, but all
have resulted in failures owing
to the contentment and satisfac-
tion of the men and they being
10th to give up certainty for an
uncertainty.
This year the organizers are
again at work in this county try
ing to organize the miners. They
made their appearance here this
year early in the spring and es-
tablished a headquarters here
about November II, 1900. On
November 26 q strike was ordered
Of the Hopkins county miners by
President Mitchell, Of the United
Mine Workers. This was ON
Monday, and was q bad day on
the operators, on account OF
the day before being Sunday,
bat, nevertheless, more coal was
mined that day by the miners OF
Hopkins county than ever before
in their history. Thus the strike
was an utter failure.
WANT THBIR JOB BACK.
''Since that time few Inen
have joined the union, but from
the talks with some of them it is
inferred that they wish they
were back at work in the mines.
A great many Of them are dissat-
isfed and have applied to the
coal companies for their jobs
back, but, Of course, this was not
done, as the operators in this
county say they will shut down
their mines before they will work
union men. Mr.. John B. Atkin-
son, a prominent man in mining
circles, and President of the st.
Bernard Coal Company, operat-
ing mines at Darlington, st.
Charles, Morton's Gap, Hecla
and several other places in this
county, says positively that there
will not be a pound of union coal
taken from his mines while he is
in control of them. Mr.. O. Rein
ecke, President of the Reinecke
Coal Company, which is the larg-
est single producing mine in the
State, says that he also will not
work union men. This seems to
be the sentiment Of all the oper-
ators in this county, and are
undoubtedly their intentions.

but higher prices were scored, December
wheat closing 12c higher, December corn
CSC. and oats 1Sc and Ac higher. Provis-
ions ranged from to 1712c higher at the
close.
The opening in wheat was steady and
trading light. The market was infiu-
enced most by the stronger tones In
stocks due to the more favorable re-
ports from Buffalo, which induced two
prominent local longs to add to their
lines. Smaller increase in visible supply
than was expected, with premiums eX-
listing for cash grain, were also bull
factors. December opened unchanged to
4G3sc higher at 7O1a to 7014Q5sc, advanced
to T1QTi1sc, and closed strong, 12c higher
at Tic. Increase in visible supply only
$4,000 bushels, while worlds shipments
were 2,47SfeO0 bushels, against {, 336, 600 last
week. ClearanceS were equal to 1,05S00O
bushels, with amount on passage of &c.
952, coo, a decrease of 2,00S,000 bushels.
Primary receipts were ,sS2 Op against
1926, 900 last year. Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported receipts of 1,244 cars against
9S1 a year ago. Local receipts were 1S7
cars, ten of contract grade.
Rain, which retardS the ripening of
corn and thus increases the chances of
damage by frost, was the chief strength
ening influence, although rumors of a
bulIish government report also tended to
keep prices up. December opened Il to sc
higher at 5142Q573sc, declined to $3.50
5112c. and advanced to 5S1sc. The close
was sc higher at 577sc. Receipts We're

Oats opened a shade higher, in SYM
pathy with other grains, Trading was
light throughout. December ranged be-
tween 50 and 351z@353sc, closing 1s@14c
higher at S5q3518e. Receipts Were PA
cars.
Provisions were again dull. but higher.
Light offerings was the main cause for
stronger feeling. Lard continued to lead
other products, owing to strong cash de-
mand January pork closed at a gain
of i712c, after selling between SIS. 771a
