THREATENED wIrH BLAcKLIsrING
Point Brought Out Against the Strike
Leaders in West Virginia.


Charleston, ". Va, July 30.-One
of the points which was brought out
in the trial of John Richards and
others in the federal court here before
Judge Keller yesterday is that Rich
ards threatened to blacklist all miners
who refused to come out and join the
strikers. When Richards was speak
ing to crowd and the working min
ers We're listening he turned to the
working miners and pleaded with
them TO quit work, and said that
when the strike was over and the
union had been recOgnized-which il
surely would be-they would not be
able to work in any section of the
country. He told them he had a list
OF all their names, and 1t would be
furnished to every local union in the
country, and wherever they went they
would be pointed to as ''scabs," and
would not be allowed to earn a liy-
ing.
This point was emphasized as much
as the prosecution could emphasize it,
so that it could be shown to the court
that the organization which is op-
posed to a blacklist b. the employer
proposes to maintain blacklist
among those Of its craft The speech
was taken by the stenographer of the
Collins Colliery company, and the
transcript was submitted in the court
yesterday.
The men employed i'm the mines tes-
titled that they were afraid to work
on account of the gatherings of the
strikers; and while the speakers coun-
seled obedience to the law it was
shown that they continued to gather
in large crowds in the vicinity of the
colliery, and asserted that they would
stay there until the men came out of
the mines. The prosecution brought
out testimony to prove that checks to
purchase food were sent here by w. b.
Wilson and John Mitchell. The prose-
cutiOn has closed its case and the de-
fense started today.
1t has developed that if the injunc-
ton issued Monday by Judge Keller
in the suit of the Gauley Mountain
Coal company is enforced strictly il
will prevent the strikers from going
into the Incorporated town of Ansted,
in this state. The bill of the COM
plainants sets up that nearly all of
the employees of the company live in
the town Of Ansted, which town is
located on the property of the COM
pany, and that the municipal authori-
ties are unable TO cope with the de-
PENDANTS, Wilson, Mother" Jones,
Purcell and others, and are unable to
protect the property of the company
or the persons or safety of the en-
ployes, and that the police have been
openly dcfied. The injunction of the
court prohibits the defendants. their
agents, associates, etc.. from going on
the property of the company or camp
ing or marching on it, so that it In

indianapolis, Ind. July 29.-Secreta-
ry Wilson, of the United Mine Work

Charleston, w. Va, announcing that
Judge Keller had issued an injunction
prohibiting the purchase and delivery
of supplies to the striking miners in
that district, declared that so fer as
be is concerned the injunction will not
be needed. For the last month pro-
visions have been sent to the strikers
from Cincinnati.

wilkesbarre, Pa, July 81. F.
Mullahy, secretary of the Stationary
Firemen's Association of Pennsylvania,
was arrested here yesterday charged
with libel. Twenty-Five complaints
had been lodged against him by men
who are now employed in various ca
pacities by the coal companies in this
section. 1t is alleged that Mullahy
had printed circular containing the
names of the prosecutors. He classi-
fed them under the head of unfair"
workmen, and then, so it was claimed,
posted them in conspicuous places
throughout the region. Two women
testified that they saw a man who
looked like the defendant put up the
circulars on telegraph poles near their
homes.
Magistrate Pollock held Mullahy in
the sum of $500 on each charge,
which made the bail $12,50O. The bail
was promptly furnished by friends of
the accused. Secretary Mullahy has
been very active in the strike.
His Influence Is Great.
1t is said that through his influence
he has held 90 per cent of the strik-
ing firemen firm. Engineers and pump
men have gone back to work in large
numbers since the strike began, but
the tiremen have remained out with
the miners almost to man. At strike
headquarters Mulahy'S arrest on SO
many warrants is termed an outrage.

Browning and
His Servants
q 8 81 y 4 u g q g % Il !

Robert Browning was one Of the
kindest, most democratic Of men. A
pretty illustration of it was given by
Mrs. Bronson in an article published
in the Century. She said: "On a GER
tain day he met one of his servants,
whose joy it was to wait upon him,
carrying a rather heavy basket Of
grapes and other fruits on her arm.
ooh, Giuseppina," he cried, 'let me
help you!" and seized the basket sud-
denly from her hand.
The woman overwhelmed by such
condescension, protested, "Troppo on
ore, signore."
"Nonsensel" said the poet. you
are always helping me; won't you al
low me for once to help your"
Still the woman resisted, saying, "It
is not for such as you, o signore!"
This was more than he could bear.
1--WE are all made of the same clay,
Giuseppina," and gaining his point
for who could Withstand his will?-he
held one handle of the basket until
they reached the palace door.
This same worthy woman is fond Of
relating a story of her master which
illustrates another side of his charac-
ter. He had paid her weekly account,
and there remained one centesimo as
change. The woman showed the little
coin, saying, shyly, 81 cannot offer this
trife to the signore."

thing to be just and another to be gen.

A Sea|'S Intelligence.

A few years ago some fishermen were
following their vocation off harbor
on the Maine coast, when they OBJ
served a commotion on the surface,
and soon made out seal leaping from
the water as IL followed by some
enemy.
1t came near the boat, swimming
around it several times, and then MAX
ing leap, the men saw that it was
being chased by a large fish.
One of the fishermen dropped his
line, and, stepping into the bow, leaned
over and held out his hands. To his
amazement the seal Immediately
dashed toward him, and, with his help,
scrambled out of the water into the
boat, just In time to escape the sharp
weapon of a swordfish that darted by,
its big eyes staring, probably in Won
der at the method Of escape, to its
fshy intelligence being evidently a
case of out of the frying-pan into the
fire.
But the little seal apparently knew

confidence was not misplaced, as the
men were so pleased with its action in
coming to them they kept it as pet,
and the seal became familiar object
about the shore.
The fishermen had small house
upon the beach, in which their boats
and nets were stored, and here the seal
made its home. sleeping on a pile OF
old cloths and during the day lying
upon the sands, lazily rolling over in
the enjoyment of perfect freedom.
When the men came down to the
shore the seal was there to greet them,
frisking about and attempting to crawl
into the boat. When not taken in it
would follow the boat out, swimming
alongside, with its intelligent black
eyes fixed upon them. If taken into
the boat it would lie on the forward
deck and watch its protectors, occa-
sionally eating a fish which they
tossed over to it, or diving over after
one which they threw away.
During the winter the seal was
moved up to the home of one Of the
fishermen, where it spent much of its
time by the kitchen f1re.-Chas F.

Appreciation of Himself.

The Great French Authors Immense
Appreciation of Himself.
1t was a quarter of century ago
that the writer of this paragraph first
saw Victor Hugo, the centenary OF
whose birth was recently celebrated.
It was at a congress of European au-
thors, assembled in Paris to discuss
the question of international copy
right. Nearly all the distinguished
authors then living were present at
this congress. Hugo presided. On his
right was M. Leon, the French min
lister of public instruction, and on his
left was Turgenieff, the great Russian
novelist. 1t was the opening day of
the congress, and Hugo delivered all
address of welcome to the delegates.
At the conclusion of his address, a
delegate arose and began to discuss
the question before the congress. He
had not spoken a dozen words when
the presiding officer raped him to or
der. "Silence!" said the president.
Nobody speaks after Hugo. The con-
gress is adjourned until tomorrow"
There was no dissent from this ruling
of President Hugo, and the delegates
dispersed.
1t was an impressive demonstration
of Hugo's tremendous appreciation of
himself, as we'll as of the profound re-
spect in which he was held by his lit
erary contemporaries.

This extraordinary meeting was one
of the most pleasant things that had
occurred to the marquis since striking
London.
He had in fashion made search fol
this old and tried friend, but as vet
had been unable to get track OF MN
SO that the encounter came as a most
agreeable surprise.
McGregor's story was told In a few
sentences-he had taken a wife and
started in bravely to increase the
population of Her Majesty's people
with a pair of twins as beginning
but beastly luck had swooped down
upon him, and he was having hard
pull at present, though nothing could
crush his jolly spirits.
This pleased his companion more
than words could tell, since it opened
way for him to assist his old friend.
Worry no longer, McGregor, for
in way to put you in a position
where money will flow into your peck
cts. God bless you for true-hearted
friend. There is my card-call on ME
at ten tomorrow, and you can have
anything you ask. Meanwhile take
this for temporary loan-not a word
against i'll won't hear murmur.
Go home to your wife and babies, and
remember me in your prayers. Such
luck to meet you after searching In
vain-it must have been an especial
act Of Providence. When you come to

name to the Marquis Of Montezuma.'
Whereupon the McGregor was actu-
ally compelled to lean against house
for support, so wonderful was the in
telligence thus communicated.

ter.
When safely landed in his hotel he
resolved never again to be caught
mapping in such reckless way.
After all, it had been an eventful
day, and brought both joy and regrets.
The marquis had a strange feeling
as though that for which he had
yearned all through those dreary
years was about to be snatched away
from him in his hour of victory.
The little germ was working, and in
due time it might leaven the whole
lump-a few more such rude shocks as
he had received when those two little
cherubims captured him in Fedora S
house would certainly complete his

Mazette Makes a Discovery.
Affairs could not continue much fur
Their without coming to crisis.
There came the day when the mar
quis found he could no longer blind
one pair of eyes, at least.
Mazette had remembered
The marquis was taken by surprise
when, upon entering the little studio,
he found Mazette in tears.
Come, what has gone wrong" he
exclaimed in dire dismay, for, like all
men. he felt his utter impotence under
such conditions.
She came toward him, smiling
through her tears-there was upon her
face reproach, delight and keen arts
tic disappointment.
"Why did you not tell me before?'
she asked, as he took her hand in his.
"Tell you-indeed, If l only knew
what you meant l would only be too
glad-this is, then you have dis
covered all?" for it dawned upon him
that she was no longer blind.
ooh, Jack, how dreadfully cruel of
you," as she dropped her head in order
that he should not see the tears of
modification.
"To conceal my identity all this
time-yes, in one sense it was, but l
had an object in it all, l assure you"
he declared sturdily.
She looked up troubled.
what does it all meant hope,
pray you are doing what is right
that is" and there she stopped con-
fused
Upon which he laughed almost bois-
terously and possessed himself of her
other hand-they were such good
friends, such old friends, there could
be no harm in this natural and inno-
cent action.
Have no fears, little woman-my
patent of nobility was issued in the
regular way at Madrid, for the usual
round sum- am the genuine article,
the Marquis of Montezuma. AS to
my wealth, you have heard that / pos
sess amazing gold mines in the new
world. l assure you my money has
all been honestly acquired and also
taken from mother earth, a present
from the old Montezumas of Aztec
time"
They talked of old times, and the
many memories they had in common
since the fight of years how precious
these recollections became-a halo
seemed to surround each incident in
those days of yore, making romantic
what at that time had been exceeding
" prosaic happenings.
Really the marquis enjoyed the half
hour in Mazette's society more than
he might have cared to confess while
still hugging that determination for
vengeance in his -heart-while that
grim spectre haunted his life he could
never be wholly happy.
And when he said goodbye he must
needs take both her hands in his and
press them-as such an old familiar
friend should have the privilege of
doing. though It startled him a little
to see the blush that flashed athwart
Mazette's cheeks.
