The strike in four supposedly nom

may be duplicated at the Bellaire steel
plant in the event that President
Shaffer, of the ~Amalgamated Associa-

representative of the Register was ad-

oil the employees of the Bellaire plant
were members Of organizations afhli-
ating with the American Federation OF
Labor. between which organization and
the Amalgamated Association there is
a perfect understanding, and the pre-
diction Is made that If the order is

the strike may be doubled in twenty

affected win be interested to a degree
not now deemed possible.
Telegraphic advices are that potent
interests are moving for a settlement,
and there are many who believe a sat
is~factory basis OF agreement will be
reached; but still plans made may fail.
The strike will either be settled shortly,
or it will turn into the largest combat
between labor and capital in the his
tory of the country. There is scarcely
a middle course.
There was no change in the local sit
uation yesterday. The men are patient
ly awaiting developments at headquar-
ters, and closely watching the news
from Pittsburg. "A majority of the men
who are out are not anxious to return
to work at present, owing to the ex-
IRENE heat, and if the strike were pro-
longed until the first of September,
there would not be much disappoint-
ment, in the event that it terminated
satisfactorily. Many of the workmen,
especially those who have been work
ing steady, are anxious to spend the
heated term in idleness.

Interesting Experiment..

The Pennsylvania railroad officials
have for some time been experimenting
with a new system of telegraphy, the
work being conducted by Arthur Hale,
now assistant general manager of the
Baltimore C Ohio, but formerly super
intendent of telegraphy of the Penn
s~ylvania, and Mr.. Charles M. Shaeffer,
his successor in the last named position.
The new system is 500 to be put to a
practical test on the wires Of the main
line of the road.
Perforated paper is used in the new
method, the perforations being made
by the operator, who uses a key some
what similar to the one now in use.
The prepared papers are placed in a
sender, which is expected to equal the
speed of six ordinary operators. The
message is delivered on perforated
paper at the other end from a receiver,
and is said to be as easily decipherable
as was the tape of the old Morse
system.
The new invention is expected to save
both time and money, as fewer wires
and less equipment will be needed. 1t
is thought a single wire will be able
to handle the business now requiring
four. 1t is not probable the number
of operators will be greatly reduced,
as they will have to prepare the per-
forated paper at the sending end. The
outcome of the practical test will be
watched with interest by telegraph
people.

TRIED TWICE
And Proved the Proposition.

81 wish to give my experience with
coffee for the benefit of other people.
used coffee for several years and was
terrible sufferer from dyspepsia. The
doctor told me not to use coffee or tea
and put me on a light diet, and I felt
better.
Then 1 commenced to drink coffee
again and had the same trouble come on.
One day 1 told a friend about it, who
said If I would stop drinking coffee alto
gether would feel better, and advised
me to use Postum Food Coffee in its
place.
I tried the Postum but did not like 1t.
! SO told him about 1t and he said didn't
cook it right, that is, didn't boil it enough
and that l should use cream instead of
milk, and to make sure would use it, he
sent a package TO the house.
After / used that package, / would
have no more coffee In the house. Now
I don't know what it is to have dyspepsia
and I can eat anything. l also give
Postum to my two children and they are
the healthiest children you could find any
where. The youngest is boy Ii months
old and we have been giving him Postum
for seven months, three times day He
weighs 30 pounds, and l know that Postum
is what keeps both of them so healthy
I think all people who have dyspepsia
get It from coffee drinking

HER DESOLATE HOME
Attempts to Divert the Mind Of Mrs.
Mckinley.
HER CONDITION MORE HOPEFUL
Funeral Guests Depart and the
Residence Guarded by
Soldiers.

Canton. Ohio, Sept. 20.-Mrs. McKinley's
condition is favorable this morning-more
favorable than at any time since the ar
rival of the party from Washington. Last
night the house and streets in the neigh
borhood after IL O'Clock were kept as
quiet as possible by a small military
guard. 1t is hoped by the friends and
attending physicians that she will be able
to leave her room to-day and to give at
tention to some matters calculated to
take her mind from the depressing Incl
dents of the last week. To accomplish
this is now the chief aim OF all her at
tendants. She will be taken for a drive
as soon as possible and everything possi-
BILE will be done to interest her in affairs
of the future to the exclusion of affairs
of the past
Those about her take a very cheerful
view. The house has been emptied of all
it's guests, the funeral party except DR..
Rixey; Mrs. NJ. c. Barber, sister of Mrs.
Mckinley, and several close Canton rela-
tives having departed during the night or
early morning A guard Of half dozen
soldiers still surround the house, merely
to keep out the idly curious and to pre-
serve quiet. A few callers left cards at
the house during the morning.
Mrs Mckinley went to the cemetery
about noon and spent some little time at
the vault in which the casket lies. She
bore the trip braVely.

Tender1y Eloquent Words From the
Christian Science Leader,
Concord, N. H, Sept. 2O.-At the request
Of the committee of arrangements of the
memorial service meeting held here, Rev.
Mary Baker G. Eddy transmitted the fol-
lowing tribute for the late President Nc
Kinley and words of comfort to the chief
mourners
Imperative, accumulatiye, holy demands
rested on the life apd labors Of our late loved
president, William Mckinley. Presiding over
the destinies OF a nation meant more to him
than a mere rehearsal of aphorisms, uniting
of breaches soon to widen, a quiet assent or
dissent. 1t began with heavy strokes, meas
ured movements, reaching from the infitesi-
NAL to the infinite. 1t began warming the
marble of politics into zeal according to wis
dom, quenching its volcanoes, uniting the in
terests of all peoples and it ended universal
good overcoming evil His home relations en-
fold a wealth of affection, tenderness not
talked, but felt and lived. His humanity,
weighed in the scales Of divinity, is not found
wanting His public intent was uniform
consistent sympathetic and so far as it faith
omed the abyss of difficulties was wise,
brave, unselfsh. May his history waken a
life of truth that shall reverberate, renew
euphony, emphasize human power and bear
its banner into the vast forests.
While our nations ensign of peace and
prosperity waves over land and sea, while her
reapers are stacking, her sheaves garnered,
her treasury filled, she is suddenly stricken,
called to mourn the loss of her renowned
leader. Tears blend with her triumphs. She
stops to think, to mourn, yea, to pray, that
God of harvest send her more laberers, who
while they work for. their own country, shall
sacredly regard the liberty of other peoples
and the rights of man. What cannot love
and righteousness achieve for the race? All
that can be accomplished, and more than his
tory has yet recorded. All good that was eveT
written, taught or wrought, comes from God,
and human faith in the right. Through divine
love the right government is assimilated the
way pointed out, the process shortened, and
the joy Of acquiescence consummated. May
God sanctify our nations sorrow in this wise,
his rod and staff comfort the living as it did
the departing; oh, may his love shield sup
port and comfort the chief n1ourner at the
desolate home

WRECKAGE IS FOUND
Fate of the Hudson Is Now Hardly

Special to The Journal.
Calumet, Mich, Sept. 20.--Advices re-
ceived this noon from Eagle river state
that persons patrolling the lake shore in
that vicinity have found wreckage, pre-
sumably from the Western Transit Line
steamer Hudson. The wreckage found
consists Of a couple OF spars, hatch covers
and quantity of -four. The cargo Of the
Hudson consisted largely of the latter.
No bodies have yet been found. Some
OF those who saw the boat go down Mon
day morning say that small boat put off
shortly before she sank, but as no such
boat has been found along the beach,
the story Is not credited, and it is
thought that the crew OF twenty-five men
went down.
The Hudson was one of the largest
boats belonging to the Western Transit
company. 1t was 2SS feet long, Al foot
beam and % foot depth. Her gross ton
mage was 1924.
The Hudson with her cargo was valued
at 100000. Her crew consisted in part

more than a hundred others who were
