ITEMS FROM
NEW CASTLE.

New Castle, June 1.-THE funer-
al of John Becker took place this
morning from his late residence, the
Market Street Hotel. High mass
was celebrated in st. Peters Church
and interment was made in the adj
joining cemetery. The pallbearers
were Joseph II. Dougherty, James
B. Toman, John M. Hance, James
W. Foster, Patrick McGrory and
John j. Reynolds. Mr.. Becker will
be missed by the poor of the city as
he was II very charitable man. His
general traits of character made
him a man who was highly respect
ed and on several occasions was
asked to allow the use of his name
for city offices but refused to be-
come a candidate. He was a man
that was kind and considerate to
bis wife and family. The good deeds
of John Becker will live after him
for years.
In the High School yesterday at
ternoon the closing exercises OF the

Politics In Kent

Dover, DEL, June l3.-Both po-
lltical sides which contend for sup
remacy in Kent county. the Addicks
Republicans and Democrats. realiz.
ing the uncertainty of results In this
county at the coming legislative and
general election. are setting about
in the exercise Of new ethics in pc.
litlcal procedure. The nominations
are being made by mutual consens
among the rank and file of the party
SO III at all feuds and fracas will be
avoided on primary election day.
Each side realizes the necessity, as
it never did, OF presenting a solid
front on election day. The Addlcks
leaders, after comforting among the
voters, have changed the slate OF
legislative candidates In some i'm
portant close districts in this county.
Their Smyrna leader, DR.. Thomas
c. Moore, now a representative, has
all along wanted to resume his seat
ia the House, but it is practically
settled that DR.. Moore must run fur
state Senator from the First seu-
asorial district of Kent. In the Smy-
rna representative district, Joseph
Smthers. a prominent Smyrna maa
will be prevailed upon TO run fot
Repre- sentative Moore S seat. Instead
Of William D. Denney as the candr
date for the lower House from the
Second district, embracing a part
of Dover, II. Dexter Learned, this
present receiver of county taxes will
be run because of Mr.. Denney's lack
of tine for an active personal Cab

and came within a few votes Of cleo

papcr Mill Employees Strike.

SANDY HILL, N. Y, June 14.-One
thousand men, employees of the Inter-
national Paper Mill company, have
struck at" Fort Edward and Glens
Falls, N. Y. Some time ago the compa-
nv granted an increase in wages of 5
per cent and later further increase
of 10 per cent. The men demand pay
for Saturday night when they do not
work, which was refused. This strike
affects mills at Palmers Falls, N. Y,
and Bellows Falls, VT, all owned by
the international company.

HUNTINGTON. w. Va, June H.
The strikers along the Norfolk and
Western are losing ground rapidly. At
Algoma, Indian Ridge and Coopers
probably 1000 miners who had been
out on strike since Monday returned to
work yesterday against the plcadings
of the agtutors- The indications are
that more than this number will break
away from the strikers ranks.

BLUEFIELD, W. Va, June 14.-1n
the Flat Top region the striking miners
are steadily losing ground, and the op-
orators predict that within week the
strike will be thing of the past. A
large percentage of the men has re-
turned to work, and the loading
throughout the field has almost dou-
blcd. In the Tug river district it is diff
fcrent. But little coal is being deliv-
cred there. The output Of this district
is small compared with the Elkhorn or
Flat Top regions proper. The march Of
the strikers through the field amounted
to comparatively nothing.

Illinois Miners May Strike.

CHICAGO, June 14.-W. ID. Ryan,
secretary and treasurer of the United
Mine Workers of Illinois, accompanied
by other state officials, has left for
Wilkesbarre, Pa, where they will con-
fer with officers of the anthracite dis
trict. What the mission to the striking
field is they refuse to divulge, and Mr..
Ryan refuses to confirm or deny the
report that the miners Of Illinois will
strike in sympathy with the Pennsyl-
vania men. 1t is generally believed
that the Illinois officials are going to
confer with President Mitchell regard
ing sympathetic strike in the Illinois
coaltiellS.

READING, Pa, June 14.-Another
carload of workmen went through here
for the coal regions yesterday. Thus
far, it is said, the Philadelphia and
Reading company has secured more
than 1000 men, mostly tiremen, engi-
necrs and pumpmen. 1t was stated by
an official that there is not Il coliery in
the Reading company's territory where
the pumps are not being manned where
desired. The provisions for the men
are being secured in the large cities
and distributed by the company to the
different operations.

AFTER FIRE BOSSES.
Striking Miners Urging Them
to Quit Work.
EXPULSION FOR UNFAIR" WORKMEN
All Of Those Who Do Not Obey the
Strike Order Are to BE Cut
on From the sUniOn.
The Boycott.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 14.-The
work Of the strikers in attempting to
bring out those who are still in the EN-
ploy of the coal companies goes stead
lily on. Their campaigns against the
engineers, firemen and pumpmen Is
nearly over, most Of these men being
out, and the union is now paying more
attention to the fire bosses, clerks and
others who have taken the places of
those who quit. Pressure Is being
brought to bear ON them in every posi-
BILE way. Quite number of the fire
bosses throughout the region have al
ready stopped work because they had
been asked to take the strikers places,
and at meeting held here yesterday
afternoon about dozen more consent
ed to join the strikers. The labor lead
ers hope to have more out by Monday.
The company officials are aware of the
attack on the fire bosses, and they are
making every effort to hold them.
The miners union is now planning to
expel from the organization all engi-
not yet obeyed the strike order. They
have been given until tonight to join
the strikers, and if they do not quit
they will be expelled and their names
published throughout the region as
unfair" workmen.
The miners leaders as rule will not
talk on the matter of boycottng, but
the. rank and file of the strikers openly
admit that they try to boycott all men
whom they look upon as being unfair"
workers. Tradesmen are induced not to
supply food to the families of those
men, and they are also subjected to
other annoyances.
Nothing has developed here which in
any way changes the strike situation
President Mitchell had nothing to give
out regarding the West Virginia situa-
ton.

tertained large audiences every

SMALLPOX LEGISLATION.
Disease so Prevalent 1t May Force
Drastic LAWS.

Des Moines, Jan. 11.-Owing to the
prevalence of smallpox in the state it
is probable that some action will be
taken by the legislature which will
make the health regulations more
stringent One of the plans which
has been suggested, and which will
probably be endorsed by the state
board of health, is to make a change
in the law which will permit. physi
clans of local boards of health. to es-
tablish guarantees without calling the
board together.
In large cities this is done at pres
ent, but under the law it requires
meeting of the board of health to es-
tablish a quarantine in country dis
tricts and small towns. This necessi-
tates delay, and often the members of
the board do not understand their du-
ties Every board. however, employs
! a physician. In few cases this ply
! sician is a member of the board, but
| this is not often tho case. 1t Is pro-
posed to give him power whether he is
member or is simply employed, to
declare a place quarantined and make
arrangements to enforce the quaran-
I tine.
/ The prevalence of smallpox is be-
coming a source of great alarm.
Scarcely is there town of any size
that does not have number of cases
of smallpox and the country districts
also have large numbers of cases. 1t
is impossible to estimate the exact num-
Der, as many are never reported. AS
it is the ones not reported that expose
others, some legislation is demanded
by the people of the state. For sever.
al years the smallpox has been grow.
! ing worse each winter and the health
officials seem unable to cope with it.
A bill will be introduced early in the
session, and will be pushed through
both houses as fast as possible.
