THE COLISEUM RACES.

The public will approve the decision
arrived at in respect to the proposed
bicycle races at the coliseum on Sun
days. Bicycle racing to which an ad-
mission fee is charged is quite different
from riding out to Thunderbolt on
Sunday afternoons and witnessing a
balloon ascension. 1t is probable the
latter amusement is open to criti-
cism since it is provided at that resort
mainly for the profit of the Electric
Railroad Company and the manage
ment of the Casino. but it is recog-
nized that there is a very large ele-
ment of the population that must have
some amusement on Sunday after
Moons, and a ride to the suburban re-
sorts is about as harmless as any that
can be suggested or provided.
Bicycle races involve an admission
Anyway, the Ministerial Association
acted wisely in drawing the line
against them. The association did it in
a way, however, that is not likely to
provoke a contest.
AS a matter of fact, the observance
of the Sabbath is not as strict as it
ought to be, and not by any means as
strict as it used to be in this city
Slowly, but gradually, the community
seems to be drifting further away from
safe mornings in respect to Sabbath
observance. This is regrettable and the
efforts of the Ministerial Association
to check the drifting ought to be en-
couraged in every possible way.

TmE WORK OF THE CONFESSION.

Yesterday Mr.. Mitchell. president of
the United Mine Workers. announced
that the strikers accepted the terms
for the settlement of the coal strike
| offered by the operators. The Presi-
dent had already appointed the COM
mission that is to arbitrate the differ
ences between the operators and the
strikers. The commission is apparently
satisfactory TO both sides.
The strikers win return to work
probably at once, or early next week.
and the commission will begin it's task
as soon as its members can arrange
their affairs so as to give their atten-
ton to the task assigned them. 1t Is
not improbable that the commissions
inquiry win take a wider scope than
is indicated by the demands of the
strikers, with the view of making a set
Element that will be satisfactory for
several years.
The demands of the miners on which
they based their strike were as fol-
lows: First, an eight hour day with
the same pay that is allowed for
ten-hour day. Second, miners to get
five per cent. advance in contract
price; third, miners ton to be 2,24O
POUNDS, with one of their representa-
tives to check the weights; fourth,
minimum scale for Iaborers, similar to
that in bituminous fields.
The composition of the commission
jUstifies the conclusion that the inquiry
viii be thorough, so as to bring out all
the facts in order that the public may
form an opinion as to whether or not
the demands of the miners are just 1t
would not be surprising if the inquiry
should extend to the profits of the coal
roads. The coal operators have assert
ed that they were paying for the
mining of coal all that the business
would stand-that some of the mines
were operated AT a loss. Of course
the commission ought to find out to
what extent this is true There may
be few practically exhausted mines
that cannot be operated at a profit If
higher wages are paid, but the condi-
tions which prevail in such
mines ought not to control the wage
scale in mines which are very profita-
bic. The miners themselves ought to
be willing to recognize the fact that
better wages can be paid in some mines
than others. If they insist upon a wage
scale that applies to all mines alike
they will only harm their own inter-
ests.
The output of anthracite coal is
about 55O0O,000 tons year. and the
statement is made, on what seems to
be reliable authority that the profits
of the operators are about SIS, 900, 900
year. If that be the case it would not
be a hardship to the operators to grant
the demands of the miners, which, it
is estimated, would amount to about
$3,0OO,0OO a year.

Edward is valued at $1,000, 900, and it

Mackay in the state of New York is

"A writer in the London Taller says
that he knows few men more hearty

Ooyle and Robert Barr. Both are I'M
consciously more ffercely tory in their
politics than anything that the Prim-
rose League can boast, although one is
a member of the Reform Club and the
other of the Devonshire. But thew
are both true Liberals in being ever
ready to help lame dogs over stiles.

THE GOVERNOR AND THE EX-
POSITION.

The Governor ds going to recommend
an appropriation for a Georgia exhibit
at the st. Louis fair, and he says that
he will recommend that the amount
be large enough for a 1irst-class ex-
hibit.
There is no doubt that the Governors
position in this matter is the right
one. If an exhibit is to be made it
ought to be creditable to the state. To
make an exhibit so insignificant that
it would attract no attention would
simply be throwing money away.
Make first-class exhibit or none at
all. There is no doubt that Georgia
can make an exhibit equal to that of
any other state. 1T is not necessary
for her to erect a fine building. She
is not rich enough for that, but she
can fill large space with specimens
of the products of her farms, mines,
mills and forests that would attract
general attention. Such an exhibit
would be helpful to her

"Pride's a terrible thing, tell you"
remarked a New Rochelle commuter,

press.

the train at Pelham Manor.
Yes. That young fellow cutting

him reminds me of the Langshan roos-

fine-looking cock, and he had bossed
the barnyard so long that he sort of
came to think he was infallible. Rose

as the loss of prestige that hurt.

rest of the fowl had finished feeding.

On the Hotel verandn.

He had just been introduced to her
and they were sitting up on the wide
veranda of the summer hotel, says the
Chicago Record-H Herald. They talked
about the wonderful amount of rain
that had fallen recently and the mos
quitoes and the other things in the
regular order. and then they both be-
gan wondering what to say next. He
was feeling unusually bright however,
and it didn't take him long to think
of a new topic.
What funny-looking people one sees
at a place of this kind" he said.
Yes" she replied; ITS interesting
to just sit and watch them come and
GO"
Look at that little red-whiskered
man over there" he went on, pointing
at a gentleman who was getting exer-

circle upon the lawn.
Isn't he cOmical?" she laughed.

I've been here.

woman who is the victim of the vanity

I'm what way?"
why, she ought to be wearing long
skirts, and here she is dressed as a
child, 1 suppose the poor girl has a
mother who wants to appear young,
and so dresses her in that disgraceful
way for the purpose of leading people
to believe that she's a mere infant
Or perhaps she has an older sister
here, who insists on having her made
ridiculous just so she herself can pre-

that he whispered:

If President Marroquin of Colombia
has ben captured and deposed by his
former friend and ally, Fernandez, he
has met with only poetic, retributive
justice; he had been overthrow by
precisely the means which he employed
to raise himself into the presidency
and dictatorship. Marroquin was the
vice president under Sanclemente and
used his office and money to Dust and
imprison his superior and usurp the ex-
ecutive chair; and Fernandez, who was
the minister of war; helped him do it..
Now, if Fernandez is in and Marro-
quin out of power. it is merely a ques-
ton of time when somebody else will
forcibly fire Fernandez and take the
job himself. They have rotation in Of
flee in Colombia, but it is usually the
toe of the coming mans boot that ro-
tates the man ahead of him.

One hundred and forty-seven thous-
and men were on strike in the anthra-
cite coal fields for 157 days, up TO the
time the agreement was reached. The
normal output of coal for this number
of men in the time named would have
been 22.O0O.O00 tons. 1t is estimated
that the loss to strikers in wages was
$zS. 100000, and 10 the business men de-
pendent upon the miners for their
sales and collections $26, 000, 900. Dur
ing the strike fourteen persons were
killed and a number wounded. 1t is
asserted that half of the mines can
be started up within three days, and
that within two weeks the mines will
be giving their normal output Of l.
100000 tons per week.

The UncOncerned.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
He thanked his God from day to day
For blessings rich and rare
True love had met him on the way
When April skies were fair,
And then another sweetly brought
Them newer joys to share.
He shrank from where embittered men
Chafed meath the wrongs they bore
And gladly hurried homeward when
His daily tasks were Ger.
With gladness in his breast he kissed
His dear ones at the door.
Content with joys that were his own,
He did not hear the cries
OF those beneath the chariots thrown
And those with sunken eyes;
He cared not that the tyrant took
A bloody sacrifice.
One day the long-enduring crowd
Rose in its wrath and might.
And there was turmoil fierce and loud,
And one from Sweet delight
Went wandering where, the ruins of
His joys were spread ere night.

SOUTHERN COTTON CONSUMPTION.


The Knoxville Sentinel has just is
sued a complete and attractive carni-
val, industrial and fall trade edition,
which brings out prominently the adj
Vancement of that city during the past
year. Among the noticeable features is
the review of the cotton mill industry.
which has grown by the addition of
more spindles to the old mills and the
building of several new ones.
The upbuilding of the cotton mill in
dustry of Tennessee greatly interests
the cotton trade because of the larger
demand it creates here in the South for
raw cotton Only recently the takings
OF domestic mills outside of the New
England states were not large enough
to exert an important market influ-
ence even when there was general
buying among them. While the con-
sumption was large, it was not in suf-
hcient proportions at any one time to
turn the course of the market or in
terfere with the spectators in the con-
duct of their campaigns. NOWADAYS it
is common for Europe to cable over
to know what Southern mills are do
ing?" So large have their takings
grown, with an increase in spindles
and new mills, that they have become
one of the three great sources of the
worlds consumption of cotton, the
other two being New England mills
and Europe. Seldom do all three get
into the market at the same time, for
it soon becomes apparent which is will
ing to pay the best prices and the other
two withdraw until the eager buyer is
supplied
The growth of cotton mills through
out the interior it watched closely by
our port trade, which finds therein new
avenues of business opened up for it.
More markets mean better prices. so
that handlers of cotton everywhere are
interested in this industry. The show
ing which the Sentinel makes of the
cotton mill industry of Knoxville is
therefore received with much satisfac-
ton in the cotton producing country.
