A leading delegate said after the noon
adjournment that voting on the tarbitra
ton proposition probably would not begin
until tomorrow forenoon and that the
session this afternoon would be devoted
to speeches. He saw no reason at all
to think that the convention would not
vote to accept the arbitration plan and
declare the strike off, but he thought that
the definite news in the form of the final
vote on the proposition might not be made

So confident were other miners, after

WE PAY FOR THE STRIKE
The Price of Coal Is to Be Raised
Soc Per Ton to Offset the
Years Losses.

Philadelphia. Pa, Oct. 2o.-It is said in
railroad circles here that the coal oper-
ators, in order to recoup themselves for
their tremendous losses in the strike, will
at their meeting In New York Tuesday
agree to raise the price of coal at the
mines so cents a ton. Besides recouping
their losses the operators must provide for
any increase In wages which the arbitra-
ton committee may decide should be
granted.
An advance of 30 cents ton for coal
free on board at the mines would aggre-
gate large sum for the coal roads. TAX
ing the normal output Of the anthracite
region as $4,000, 900 tons year, an in
creased profit of 80 cents on each ton
would amount to $50, 900, 900.

"Give three cheers for Mitchell, for the

only colored delegate present was called

FACT AND RUMOR
The Story Of One Postponed Cabin

The Story Of One Postponed Cabinet
Council In England.
Csbinet councils give rise at times
20 rGmors that dodge fact and Dislead
public expectancy. One of.Locd Beac-
onsfelds supplies q case in point.
Queen Victoria, so runs the tale. was
anxious about the state Of wind and

Princess Louise happened then to be
crossing. 4 lord in waiting knew 8
professor who was weather diviner,
and to him he went with message
from her majesty, who sent also q mes

in waiting was sent to theatrical
supper-ie was Sunday night-in search
OF the professor. Him he found IN
this lively company and was himself
constrained to listen to the game Of
words that was passing round. Which
would they choose If they had to mar.
~, Gladstone or Disraeli? AL said
"Disraeli' except one, and she said
''Gladstone. so that I might elope with
Disraeli and break his heart"
The lord in waiting, much diverted,
went forth and, finding Dtsraeli in
rather low spirits, told him this tale
as an instance Of his great popularity
with all classes Of the queens sub
1ects. The whimsicality Of the thing
was congenial to Disraeu, who was

for postponing the council for a couple

was then unstable, and that afternoon

WHILE WE SLEEP.
The Muscles and Organs-o2 the Body
Are Still Working.

The Muscles and Organs-o2 the Body
Are Still Working.
# the organs Of the body cannot be
said to sleep, neither can the voluntary
muscles Witness the phenomena Of
sleepwaiking, the positions In stage
coach days who slept in their saddles
and cavalrymen who do it today, in
9antry who have been known to sleep
on forced marches, sentinels who walk
their beats carrying their guns in O
fixed position while they sleep. For
all we know policemen may do it too.
People who talk In their sleep are IA
miliar to all Of US. Experiments made
by Speir, Armstrong and Child on 200
college students Of both sexes showed
that Al per cent Of the men and 81
per cent Of the women talked in their
sleep. A number Of things might be
proved by these statistics. OF these
sleep takers one-half Of the women
and one-thlrd Of the men are able to
answer questions while asleep. More
women than men could answer ques-
tions on any subject, not alone that Of
which they had been talking. It has
also been found that most sleep talk
ers are under twenty-five years Of age.
Evidently, then, with the muscles
and organs Of the body all working, It
is the brain only that sleeps. and by
no means ali Of the brain. The senses
Of sight, hearing, touch, smell and
taste may be very much awake while
the subject sleeps. A sleeping person
hears and answers questions, rear
ranges his bedclothing. covers his eyes
to keep out the light, draws away his
hand when the eXperimenter tickles It.

FLOWER AND TREE.

Fruit trees and fruit require potash
for their best development.
With house plants all extreme
changes OF temperature should be
avoided.
Too many trees prevent rapid growth
and extend the time when grove Is
well shaded.
Grapevines like their roots to be near
the surface, and the food for them
should not be placed at too great a
depth.
Small growth and too much small
fruit go together. Thrifty growth fur
Gshes few large and fne specimens
Of fruit.
There Is no use in growing q tree,
very tall. The top limbs are apt to be-
come slender and break If fruit is pro
duced Oh them.
AL members Of the poppy family are
hard to transplant. By choosing q
rainy day and not exposing the roots
one can sometimes manage a trans
ference.
Avoid straight lines as much as posi-
BILE. There Is no straight line IN nature.
It is for this reason that groups and
masses are SO much better than formal
or set beds.
