in.-A Conference of Officers.

Wilkesbarre, Pa. July 19.-More
mines were in operation and more coal
was hoisted in the Wyoming valley to-
day than on any day since the station
ary firemen strike began. Despite any
action that may be taken by the officers
of the United Mine Workers associa-
ton, it cannot be denied that the unit
ed workers as a body are anxious to
get back to work. In an official state
ment issued this evening it is declared
that in the upper anthracite region the
situation remains the same, with strong
indications of increased favor for the
firemef, and that there a greater num-
Der of mines idle than yesterday.
Hazleton, Pa, July 19-The confer
ence between the officers of the three
anthracite districts Of the United Mine
Workers and the secretary of the Sta
tionary Firemens union adjourned at
o'clock tonight The following state

strike and adjusting the position of the
United Mine Workers thereto 1T was
agreed that all firemen who are now at
work shall remain at their positions un-
til after that meeting.
The work leaders refused to answer
any questions as to whether the United
Mine Workers would be likely to dis
countenance or approve the firemen's
strike 1t is the belief here that the
mine workers here will make an effort
to have the firemen's strike called off.

Connecticut Man Declares His Assem-
ment Is Much Too Low.
Robert M. Bruce, one of the mil
lionaires of ca eenwich, Conn, a former
cotton broker and friend Of e. c.
Benedict. has caused surprise by ap-
pearing before the board of assessors
Of the town and asking them to have
his assessment raised so per cent, says
the New York Sun. He said that he
had never paid any attention to the
making ont of his list of taxable prop
erty, leaving it with the assessors. He
had looked the matter up recently and
had decided that he was not paying all
that he should into the town treasury
and he asked for the raise. The asses
sors promised to comply with his
wishes ard it is understood that they
will raise the taxes Of all other mill
lionaires there to some extent Mr..
Bruce's example is the subject Of much
comment. For many years past Green
witch has raised 100000 by taxation
and has spent 100000 more than it
raised. The debt has rolled up to
nearly $4CG coo. The town appointed
members l.,cor,ed that more money
aust be ra: .cti by taxation. Fixing up
the taxes last fall was ? 1t over until
oext spring. The assessors figured up
me amount cf taxable property and an
Increase Of the tax rate seemed prob
able. Persons who have looked up the
matter say that there appears to be
one law for the poor man and another
for the rich man. The law says that
Zach property owner must put in
true list Of the real value Of all prop
erty, real and personal, but the general
ru,e among persons Of moderate mems
has been to pay on GO per cent Of abe
value. The mil.icnaires in some in
rtances have not p,.id on 10 per cent Of
ne property.

DOGS WEAR SHOES.
AlAskan Animals hold Up Feet to Have
Shoes Put On.

In Alaska shoes for dogs have been
introduced. The use of shoes for
animals in tho far north country is
not merely out OF kindness to the dogs.
It is matter of necessity, for one of
the greatest dangers to travellers in
Alaska is that the dogs which draw
sledges or transport goods freeze their
feet by contact with the ice. This
sometimes renders the animals pract1-
cally useless and leaves tho traveller
without means Of transit over the
fields of ice. Before tho introduction
Of the shoes it was the custom to wrap
the feet of the dogs in cloth, but this
was a poor measure at best, as tho
cloths often came off, leaving the poor
beasts unprotected. The cloths also
tnterfered with the free locomotion OF
the dogs. Since the gold fields opened
more dogs have been used and great
speed in travel has become necessary.
The dogs shoe was invented to meet
the requirements. Tho lacings are at
the back to give free play to the dogs
legs. The wonderful intelligence OF
these faithful animals is shown by
their readiness in taking to the shoes
They become SO accustomed to them
that they are uneasy without them
On the trail the dogs have frequently
been known to come to the driver in
the morning and hold out their legs
to have their shoes put on. If tho
shoes happen to be laced too tight.
they will whine and make their dis
comfort manifest, wagging their tails
for Joy when the laces are fixed to
their liking.

A MILE A MINUTE.
High Speed by . Trolley Car In Phila-
dolphla-

|
| In whatever other respects Phlladel-
| 2hia may be slow she has trolley car
| which sweeps through the city in the
| gray hours of dawn and which, taken
| day by day, Is swifter than anything
| Else Of its kind or class in the world,
! says the New York Sun. 1t starts from
| the heart Of the city just after the
newspapers are out of press and tears
away through the silent streets in a
northerly and westerly direction, up
and down hill and along valleys, with
until twenty-seyen minutes later it
tests on the northern summit of Chest
tut hill, fourteen and three-quarter
niles away. This is at the average
rate of thirty-five miles an hour, in
Guiding at least one stop every three
fourths of mile. Sometimes on its
route it has run a mile in a minute
and an eighth and it has made the dis
lance in twenty-five minutes, includ-
ing the stops, which is just the sched-
ule time of the steam express trains for
practically the same distance between
the same places, though on neither the
Reading nor the Pennsylvania rail-
ways do the trains make any stops.
Sometimes, as on market day, there
are Interruptions, when sleepy teams
get on the lines of metals, and occa-
sionally another trolley car gets be-
hind time and doesn't give it the right
of way promptly, but despite the occa-
sional delays, for two yeas, in all
conditions of weather, facing rain or
snow, with mechanical incidents ad
verse to it's career it has malo on an
average thirty-five trips out of thirty
five on time and only once has it been
longer than forty-five minutes in COW
aring the distance. On that occasion
the wreck of hay wagon was on the
road and for this the Eagle Flight
trolley was not responsible. From the
fact that this car carries the morning
newspapers for distribution it might
be thought to be journalistic enter
prise in Philadelphia, but this is not
the case. 1t is an experiment by tho
Union Traction company to test the
maintenance OF high speed and the
avenness of schedule time under cor
ditions peculiarly favorable for secur-
Ing exact factors for all the problems
it is sought to solve. Every trip is OBJ
served by electrical experts, the induc-
ton is estimated, the power measured,
the state of the metal, the thermomet-
rical and barometrical conditions noted
as we'll as the humidity and fog at the
different, elevations along the line, and
when 1000 trips have been made the
data thus gathered will be considered.
with view Of formulating a result to
be applied in such directions of econ
omy and accelerated speeds as may be
opened up.
