the statement was accepted as an ordi-
nary pleasant and pardonable exag-
geration.
The complete success of the dog and
the swine shows, however, proved to
be the first steps toward redeeming his
promise.
The cattle show was an agreeable
surprise 10 every stockman who saw
It and at once established new stand
ard of excellence that will not be
equaled for years to come and possibly
never surpassed as regards quality.
The sheep show, now fully under
way and lasting to Oct %, is in every
way a worthy successor to the dog,
the swine and the cattle shows. The
best flocks in the United States and
Canada are represented. together with
their recent additions of imported
stock. consisting of about twenty fine
animals now shown in this country for
the first time.
The sheep show. taken as a whole, is
one of the most complete ever brought
together Every important breed has
strong representation, while every
breed known has an exhibit of some
kind. The Island Black Face, of which
there are but three or four tocks in the
United States. are well represented,
and they are creating a great deal of
interest among the exhibitors and Wis
itors.

passing notice. as our domestic AMI
mails of American origin are not M.
merous. We have borrowed almost cv.
erything of this nature from other
countries. The only other exception Is
possibly the American trotting horse.
Angora Goats.
In connection with the sheep show is
an exhibit of $40 Angora goats. These
interesting animals fill one Of the live
stock pavilions. The growing of An
CORA goats is n comparatively new
business in this country, and very lit
tie Is known about it in the east. Their
adaptability to rough, rocky pasture
lands. whore they Craze and grow con-
tentedly, has brought them prominent
~ into consideration where such lands
have proved useless or nearly so.
Wool Exhibit.
As another feature Of the sheep show
Superintendent Converse has arranged
an exhibition of wool. This Is interna-
tional in scope, having fleeces from the
different states, Canada and several
South American countries. Argentina
alone contributes more than 200 sam
Pile feeces. Chile, Costa Rica. Bolivia.
Salvador and other Central and South
American countries are also represent
ed. Such an international wool exhibit
was never before attempted. 1t can
not fail to produce lasting benefits that
will be shared by growers Of sheep,
manufacturers of wooden goods and
through them the general public.

Still another accessory to the sheep
Industry is deliberately illustrated. In
Dne Of the stock buildings a platform
was erected about three feet above the
floor. upon which is installed the latest
and best shenring and clipping machin-
cry. Some Of the machines are oper-
ated by electricity while others are
worked by hand. To show to EXPOSE
ton visitors their practical working.
twenty sheep are brought from the
East Buffalo stockyards every morn
ing. One machine is set In motion each
half hour during the day. and one Of

RUINED BY A STRIKE.

The history OF coal mining and labor
troubles in Pennsylvania shows no
parallel TO the battle that has been 60
ing on at BerDice, Pa for eight months
Ga one side are $50 miners and mine
laborers, their wives and children, and
on the other is the Sullivan IL State
Line Railroad Company, owner and op-
orator OF the single mine that for 70
years has given employment to the
men and boys oil Bsrnice.
Yesterday the mine was watched by
armed deputy sheritfs, the pump house
is barricsded by wires charged with
electricity, Sheriff's notices OF eviction
have been served on half the tenants OF
the company houses, and In Court, half
flushed, are proceedings at law cbarg-
ing half hundred of the strikers with
conspiracy TO destroy the oompany's
property, with threats to kill its
operatives and with crying "scab" and
other epithets at the handful OF nom
union men whom the company has
secured to break the strike.
The village is, indeed, a place OF lam
entstion and sadness. A year ago 1t was
one of the most prosp erous OF place.
and its people among the happiest Of
the country. The trouble all arose
over the organization ofs branch OF the
United Mine Worke rs Of America. The
men, once organized, made q demand
that the wagons be more equally d.
yided among the miners, SO that al
might share alike in the output OF ths
mine.
There were men at work there whit
had grown old and stoop-shouldered ir
the compspy's service, and in ell ths
time there had been no trouble will

They had lived in the company

CIGARS.

A strike followed. Tne little mine
closed down, and the only thing kept
in motion was the pump. He'd this
stopped the mine would have flooded,
aud in this event 1t would probably
hsve been abandoned. Iodeed, the
threat of abandonment was made re-
pestedly by the company, but at this
the men only laughed.
Time and again Superintendent Dun
stou went down from Towsnda and ad-
drt ssed the men. He asked them TO
,turn TO work and the company
would consider any individual griev.
