STRIKE WILL PROBABLY END.

With Settlement of Details by Leaders of
the Mine Workers Monday Operators
Proposition IN Modified Form Agreed Up
on by the President and President Mitch
ell of the Union-Coal Mining May be Re-
sumed Next Week.
In spite of the sweeping assertions
made in the head lines of the daily pa
pers the great coal strike is not yet
absolutely broken. 1t will not be un-
4 til the miners return to work and be-
| fore this happens delegate conven-
tion of the strikers must be held.
| This convention meets in Wiki esbarre
Monday morning and the executive
board of the three anthracite districts
now in session have unanimously de-
cided to recommend to the convention
the acceptance of President Roose-
velt's arbitration proposition. If this
advice is followed coal mining may be
resumed before the end of next week
The present promising state of af-
fairs was probably brought about by
the enormous pressure of public senti-
ment directed by President Roosevelt
against the mine operators. 1t is
know that Secretary Root went from
Wash inEtOn to a conference with j.
Pierpont Morgan and that later Nor
gan presented to the president the
proposition of the operators as given in
another column. Later this PROPOSE
ton was submitted by the president to
John Mitchell and although AT first OPP
posed to its acceptance because it re-
stricted the president in his selection
of the commission, an agreement was
finally reached The restrictions were
removed, representation given to or
ganized labor as well as to capital, and
Mr.. Mitchell agreed to give his per-
sonal approval of the plan to the exec
utive officers of the districts at their
meeting yesterday. This he did, rec
ommending an immediate call for
convention, whose authorization is nee
essary to declare the strike off.
In view of the probable favorable
outcome of the convention, the presi-
dent has already appointed the mem
bers of the commission to pass upon
the question at issue in the strike.

When Heaven Gets Crowded.

Some industrious and probably un-
easy fellow has again been figuring
on the dimensions of heaven. Taking
a verse from Genesis as basis of his
computation he reaches the reassuring
conclusion that if this world should
stand 100, 900 years and give total of
2,97O, 100000, 900, inhabitants for this
period of time, and if there should be
ten other worlds of the same size
and duration, containing the same
number of inhabitants and all the in
habitants should be redeemed, there
would be more than 100 rooms sixteen
feet square for each person, and after
setting aside one halt of the space for
the throne of the court of heaven
and one half of the balance for streets.
Room in heaven need not to be a mat
ter of serious consideration with
men. There will always be ample
room for all who are able to get there.
If a lack of room should Be possible in
the divine order of things, it will
probably be at the other place.

Some Facts Regarding It's Rapid Increase.

Appendicitis among Americans is GER
tainly increasing and while this is proba-
bly, due to the excitement and worry of
American business life, it is more often

pendiCitlS is caused by extraneous matter
entering the Vermiform appendix and not
by the swallowing of seeds. If the di-
gestive organs are kept in perfect condi-
ton so the food is duly aSsimulated and
the bowels move gently, at least once a
day, appendicitis will never develop.
