shnTer Hold m AH-day Conference
 Result Not Announced.
 Pittsburg, Pa, Aug S.-The contend ing sides in the steel strike are center ing their energies for a show of strength on the day the general strike order becomes operative. The United States Steel Corporation Is operating mills closed by the first strike order to show it's indifference to unionism and gathering strength wherever it may to tighten the effect of the general strike order. The Amalgamated Association bends it's energies to the extension of its membership and to obtain the sup port and cooperation of the American Federation of Labor.
 The general strike order becomes eff fective on Saturday night and the claims put forth on either side as to the results that will accrue from it are widely at variance. Officials of the steel companies admit that thousands of men will obey the order of President
 
 tion, and go out but they positively deny that the tie-up will be general. They point to their success in re-open- ing four mills that were closed and say that they have strong hopes at points where the Amalgamated claims the greatest strength. The steel officials are inclined to minimize the sympa- thetic assistance which the Amalga- mated Association will get. One official stated the matter this way:
 What can the machinists do? Have they not just been beaten? And the mine workers. Did they aid the fire men?"
 President Shaffer and his assistants on the other hand insist that the strike order will be generally obeyed and that they will obtain more than enough support to cripple the steel corpora ton.
 We have those people licked to a standstill already" was the way that Vice President Gibson, of Pitts burg, voiced the feelings of the Amal- gamated people.
 With both sides arming for the con- fict and a general strike but forty eight hours away, many ordinarily well informed persons hold the belief i there will yet be a settlement of the | strike. Veryl Preston came here yes | terday and his presence started the ru- mor here to-day that he was here to ask for another conference in behalf of | the steel corporation. MT. Preston l C,x-tl Do

FOUNTAIN OF ETERNAL Yourr
1t Escaped Ponce de Leon. but New Jer-
sey Folks Enjoy It

1t Escaped Ponce de Leon. but New Jer-
.ey Folks Enjoy It
Newark. N. J. Letter.
Egg Harbor, this state, claims to
haveIa fountain of eternal youth. Its
chief exhibit is a man of 126 years
who looks to be so and acts as if he
were 80. He is Charles Smith and
records of the Masons and Elks prove
that the report of his extraordinary
age is correct. Smith and his friends
all believe in the fountain of youth,
and are firmly convinced that if they
keep on bathing there they can keep
off old age Indefinitely. In conse-
quence, anbo& can go to the ''foun-
tain" any day in the week and, no
matter how low the mercury has fall
en-, he will see so to 100 persons wad-
ing around in the water with no more
apparent concern about the weather
than If it were the middle of July.
The fountain consists of a freely run
ming brook that flows through the
dense cedar woods that surround Egg
Harbor. To all appearances the water
is no different from that in any other
ordinary brook. The people who
battle there, however, claim that the
water has a wonderful effect on them.
But whether the water is the actual
cause of the effect or not, it is
fact that there is a surprising number
of very old people living Whereabouts
many from rs to 100 years-who
look 20 years younger than their ac-
tual age. Nearly every man and wom-
an in the town seems to have ruddy
complexion, and nearly every citizen
in the place takes his bath in the
brook more or less regularly.
But old Smith is the most wonder
full of the lot, and he attributes his
age and health to the fact that he has
used regularly for so years what Ponce
de Leon sought.
Il was not always in good health"
says Smith. Il came here from New
York broken down in health over half
century ago. l had retired from all
practice and supposed l would die with
in year or two. But one day while
| fishing 1 got soaking wet in the brook,
having stepped in so far that the
water reached above the tops of my
long boots without my noticing it,
expected my death of cold and hurried
home.
what was my surprise when l got
there to find that instead of feeling
badly I felt spryer than usual Think
| ing that the water might be some sort
| of mineral compound, 1 resolved to try
| it again, with the result that 1 came
to the conclusion that the brook is
the very fountain of youth that Ponce
de Leon sought for in vain so many
years ago.
You remember that when he wat
looking for it the Indian guides kept
on pointing toward the north. Well,
this brook is exactly north of the di-
rection in which Pone de Leon was
| going when he gave up the search, so
there rs no doubt in my mind that this
is the very fountain taat the Indians
referred to-

STILL a CENTURY BEHIND.


FilipInos Only Beginning to Understand
Present Day Customs.
Things of the nineteenth century
have hardly been known in the Phil
ippine islands until very recently. The
people there got along with eighteenth
century methods and materials until
American occupation made them real
ize that the twentieth century was
here. While living over rivers of oil
they had scanty supply imported
from Russia. Now wells have been
sunk and the natives are getting a
little light on their former ignorance.
Ships are landing on the islands ma
chinery that truly astonishes the ma
tives. Where they have been scratch
ing the soil to raise poor crops they
are now blowing deep burrows and
getting something near the value of
productive soil. Edged tools without
edges and with temper uncertain as
that of a Spaniard have been set aside
for axes, picks, chisels, drills, saws and
shovels that mean much more and bet
ter work with less expenditure of hui
man effort. The worst known appli-
ances that boosted of the name tools"
are being replaced by the very best
instruments of labor known to our
highest civilization. Steam power in
it's most perfect forms is being ap-
piled where it was no more known
than it was with us century ago. The
people are learning for the first time
that the hills can be cut down and val
leys filled up to make roads more level,
so that larger loads can be hauled with
much less effort than before. The
steam shovel that with one motion OF
its iron jaws takes up more material
than a dozen natives could shovel out
in an entire day is an object of abso-
lutte wonder. In fact, the Filipinos are
only beginning to learn that the world
has been actually moving since Ma
gellan landed on their shores and gave
them the name of robbers. Chicago
