RlOTlNG MINERS
AWED BY TROOPS
STATE MILITIA BRINGS QUIET
TO SHENANDOAH.
STRIKERS WROTH AT CALL
Say Presence of Soldiers is Entirely
Unwarranted and Ask Governor to
Order Them Away-AIleee Deputy
Sheriff is to Blame for the
Alarm.

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. I.-Tw Give
hundred state troops are encamped on
the hill overlooking Shenandoah. Down
in the town where the rioters and pC
lCemen fought a bloouy battle
Wednesday night all is quiet and indi-
cations are that SO long as the militia
remains the peace of the community
will not again be broken. The riOJ,
which caused the soldiers to be sent
here, came like flash and was over
almost as quickly as it had started AMI
since then there has not been a single
case of violence reported.
The arrival of the soldiers proved a
great attraction for the large army Of
unemployed and hundreds of men and
boys came to town to see the troops.
The first companies to arrive came
from st. Clair at $3.50 a. m. and from
that hour up to p. M when the Gov
Crnor's Troop of cavalry disembarkeo
and galloped up Main street Shenan-
dCah presented a lively appearance.
The camp is on the hill just outside of
the town proper and commands a -ull
view of the place. Beyond the pres
ence of a group Of soldiers here and
there on the principal street, Shenan-
dOah does not show any evidence of
having passed through a trying ordeal.
A large number of persons who mad
been attracted to the place by the com
ing of the militia left during the after
noon and last night the town presented
its normal appearance. 1t is claimed
by the citizens that the foreign ele-
ment is solely responsible for the
trouble. Shenandoah is not under mar
tial law. The local authorities have
rot relinQuished control of the town or
county and they remain in as complete
control of the respective affairs as hey
do before the troops reached here. re
soldiers are merely in camp outside of
the town. A provost guard has been
established. however, in certain parts
Of the town.
Last night General Goblin said every.
thing was quiet. He had received
word of the meetings, marches and at.
lacks upon individuals at various
places, but was not yet ready to act on
Il is news.
The strikers are incensed at the call
ing out of the troops, asserting It Is
entirely unwarranted. Their commit
tee telegraphed the governor saying
the request for troops was based on al
exaggeration and asked him to send 6
personal representative to investigate
believing he would then order .ht
troops home. They blame the deputy
sheriff for the whole trouble. JOSEPH

A REPUTATION BLASTED.
How A Southerner Lost Fame as an
Orator.

1T is strange how little things will
stick to a man." said an obseTvant
citizen to q writer in the New Orleans
land in some in
stances they will bear down on him
until they seriously impair his repu-
tation. | recall one rather curious
instance where a mans reputation
suffered seriously on account of a
Jest that was sprung in a political
convention. 1t was during the cam
paign of 1896, when the money
question was at fever heat. At
convention in a prominent Southern
city one of the delegates had the
temerity to take a stand in favor Of
sound money. He was a gold bug,
and a rather brainy fellow. He was
a good speaker, but unfortunately
had very weak voice. He could not
be heard for any great distance.
When he sounded the first discordant
note in the convention the delegates
could find no better way of showing
their disapproval than by shouting
louder, louder! and they shouted
Justify and long. The man could not
hear his own voice. But he made
his speech just the same. 1t was
simply a pantomime. and was a thor
oughly ridiculous thing from the
standpoint of the men who stood
back in the convention hall. 1t was
nothing but a wild and meaningless
| lot of excited gestiCulatiOn. Louder.
! louder" the crowd kept on crying,
ard the delegate kept on speaking
until he had finished what he had to
say in favor of the gold standard.
What he said the convention did not
know, and did not care to know. But
the point had in mind was that this
mans usefulness, so far as public
speaking was concerned. was destroy
ed on this occasion. He has not
been able to make a public speech
since then. Whenever he gets up IN
a convention, or on any pubic occa-
sion. the cry of louder! louder,
would begin. and he would not be
able to make his speech He would
simply have TO give it up as a bad
bargain. The thing became so an
uoying that he finally abandoned the
idea of ever trying. The men who
started the cry in the convention of
1896 we're simply bent on fun, for
DESPITE his leaning toward the gold
standard. they liked him. and besides
they knew he could do no harm. for
he was playing a lone hand. But
they played havoc with him, and COM
pletely ruined his reputation as pub.

OLD AND NEW HCI LAND.
The Strength of the Elder Days is
Living Yet.

The Strength of the Elder Days is
Living Yet.
Rev DR.. Rollin A. Sawyer IN the
Evangelist We find old Holland here
in the North. The fishing fleets of
Maren and Volendam are in sight; the
fishermen and their families might
have stepped out of Viking ships or
faced the horrors of siege in the fights
with Alva and the InQuisition. There
were over a thousand men, in the
Catholic church, at one service, and
for pure physical power, tremendous
pluck AMI pure endurance, you might
match them with the finest OF Old
Prince Williams heroic soldiers. Just
here the reformed church is Unitarian.
The Calvinist DR.. Kuyper has the
state on his side. but the Leyden men
seem to be in the majority among the
country clergy. You will find the old
churches in the cities; that of Utrecht
is a magnificent survival from the
| icOnoclaSt of the 10th century. But
the old Hollanders. the old customs,
the old habit of life and thought, are

traffic and travel. You must seek
them in the country and find them
| best kept in the North. Marker is a
| rarity. the goal of tourists, the sur
vival of our islands life, But the
coasts of the Zuider Zee, as you go
! North are fresh from the old times
and old ways that attest their genu-
/ ions
LOYALTY to the old ideals, You might
| fill pages with character sketches and
personal incident. as your camera
girl fills her hmitless portfolio with
pictures. But a few days residence
among the farmers and fishermen
gives you something so striking, so
tangible. so imperiously real and az
excessively strong that you respect II
and cease to peer patronizingly into
the types Of the past This queer OBJ
iect. that might be a king Walrus
standing on end at first sight, gives
you greeting in a country fashion and
tells YOU that a man to be reckoned
with. with ancestry that handled
roughly the Spanish fleets and thun'
dered up the Thames with Van TromT
and De Ruvter behind him, is looking
Won in the face and compassio0ating
your modernity.
The new Holland is rising up. but
as vet il fits no better with the old
than the modern bonnet perched OF

covered helmet of gold, There is 1

harmony; and by the door just now
were two automobiles out of Amster-
dam to rumble up the dyke with in
congruous noise and obstrusive pre-
tense. So the new is coming in with
boldest contrasts and with such often
sive mien as TO make it unwelcome to
the old. 1t will take a century yet
and more. to transform this people
into modern types and ways. Out
here in the county, who would wish
it? With a COnventicle over you built
when the Puritans were crossing the
Plymouth, you are reverent during
the long and rather trying service
When you go into an old cathedral but
partly used or rather misused, you
grow impatient for a change. In such
grand old buildings as the Dutch
church has inherited from the 18th
and 18th centuries. it seems to us that
1t might do better in its worship than
1t does today. For if not. then the
new Holland that is growing up in the
towns, will reject it in earnest will
repudiate its dull routine and reform
its rude neglect of common neeos and
refined requirements.
After all the old and new are one
at heart, as human nature is one the
wide world over. Watch these chill
dren in funny costume and wooden
shoes at play and they will fall into
line with your village green or family
door yard everywhere. Standing by
great pillar of the old church this
morning, our eyes covered the whole
space from the high altar down the
nave to the door. There was not one
familiar face nor any but strange &C
tunes in the whole view. Yet the
lines on those human faces, the un-
conscious poses of rest and reverence.
the one touch of man on the healing
manhood of Jesus, made them all kin.
O human hearts. we greet you in IL"
presence of our Lord, our love and
life! Old or young we love this land
and cry: Hollandia vivat, 1t you set
the children in this old town by the
Zee to singing you will hear the
praise of William the great and tn
chorus of our st. Nicholas society,
"Oranje bOven!" When we move OF,
the morrow into Brabant and the old
Flanders, it seems as if not Antwe-n
or Bruges could quite move us as 6o
Leyden and HARLEM with their Teyota
memories. The prison of De Wit an
the stair where the prince of Dram"
fell are wide apart historically. but
they both appeal to our admiration G."
the elements that have made any
history glorious or great Somehow
the nearer you get to the heart of old
Holland, The closer you come to that
which you instinctively reverence and
admire. The canals of Holland are
her beauty and her safety. There are
plague spots in them also. 1t is so
with national trend and scope The
day-old sickness is not the age-Old
health. The new Holland has its
weakness, but the strength of the old
Holland abides with her still like the
woods where mighty growths shelter
the younger plantage, and in their
soaring branches the old bird songs
are as sweet today as when these
monarchs of the forest first saw the
! light of summer
