Quiet In Wyoming Region.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 10.-A day
OF quiet yesterday followed Mondays
ricting and bloodshed in the Wyom
ing region. No disturbance Of any
kind was reported. which was partic.
ular.y pleasing to Sheriff Jacobs. That
official. upon his return from Harris
burg, said last night that he went to
the state capital to seek information.
he did not see Governor Stone, bur
had long talk with Adjutant General
stewart The situation Of the Wyom
iLg region was gone over and the ad
jutant general assured the sheriff that
IL he found it necessary to call for
troops any time his request would be
Immediately considered. The sherin
SAID he did not ask that the soldiers
be sent here and hopes that he will
NOT be obliged to make such q rs
quest. II the same peaceful condf-
tiOns as prevailed yesterday continue
he is confident that he will not have
"a call upon the state authorities for
assistance.
Work was again resumed at the
Maltby colliery yesterday, and the
Wcuamie mine is said to have a
larger output Of coal yesterday than
any day since it resumed.
President Mitchell said he had no
statement TO give out. He claimed the
situation was entirely satisfactory
and there was no probability Of the
strife ending until the miners de-
mands were granted.
D. G. n. Won't Conciliate.
Scranton. Pa. Sept. 1O.-General
Superintendent Rose, Of the Delaware
ard Hudson Railroad company mine
department, said yesterday that he
had no knowledge Of any negotiations
which could possibly lead to settle
mont CT the strike this week, next
week or any other definitely de-
termined time He said the Delaware
ard Hudson company stands in ex'
actly the same position as it did in the
beginning OF the strike, and had no
intention OF offering any concessions.
This statement by Superintendent
Rose is in harmony with similar state
ments made by Superintendent May,
of the Erie, and Superintendent Phil.
ips, Of the Lackawanna, recently. Not
withstanding the denials Of the prob
ability Of an early settlement the
opinion prevails here that the mine
superintendents have knowledge OF
some movement which Is likely to
soon end the strike. During the past
Saw days there has been unusual &C.
tivity in the movement Of coal cara
on the four coal carrying railroada
whose mining operations are centered
mere. Long lines Of coal cars have
been placed on sidings convenient to
the different collieries.

THERE IS A
BAN ON LIQUOR
PRESIDENT WILLING To ACT.
Would Select Committee to Arbitrate
Strike, if Both Sides Re-
quested.

Cincinnati, Sept. 10.-A guest Of
President Roosevelt during portion
Of his trip through Ohio, when asked
Yesterday if the subject Of the settle
mont of the Pennsylvania coal strike
was discussed, said it was. The pres
!dent said that the printed interview
with him on the subject was imagin.
alive. The guest of the president con-
tinued, that no man deplores the pres.
ent condition more than the president
does, but he does not see clearly how
he could take any part in adjusting
the difficulty.
Any interference on his part, eX'
cept by request of both parties, would
he construed into threat to use the
great power of his office to coerce
one side or the other. If that were
really so, the action would be inter-
ference and not arbitration. If both
sides should make the request that
the president should select an arbl
tration committee he would be glad
to do so, but he could not give his
personal time to investigation of the
subject, to the end of arriving at q
lust conclusion. If such a request
should be made, with the agreement
that the miners should be permitted
tc return to work, pending the de
cision, and both to abide by the find
ing of the committee, the finding to
he effective from the time the men
vent to work the president would be
glad to select such committee. Un
less both sides shall make the request
voluntarily he will not feel at liberty
to interfere in the matter.

Light on Precious Stones.

1t is known that violet light from an
electric arc lamp excites ftuorescence
in the diamond. M. Channel has
proved that an intimate conection ex-
lists between that property of the dia-
mond and the luster exhibited in other
artificial lights, especially the lights
from candles Tin which the diamond
shows to the greatest advantage).
The diamonds that send out the most
vivid rays are not always those which
are the most regularly cut, but are
such as, examined by violet light, show
the greatest fiuorescence. While dia-
monds that do not fuoresce simply
show violet when so illuminated, the
most brilliant stones fuoresce strong
ly with a clear and very brilliant blue
radiation. The test is of practical
value and has been applied to other pre-
cious stones-yellow diamonds, Bur-
mese and Siamese rubies, etc-Science,

HOW CORN ROOTS GROW.
Study of the Subject Proves That All
Fertilization Should Be Through
the Surface Soil.

It is by looking closely, and so reach
ing all the facts-in short, getting
scientific knowledge-that we make
real progress in agriculture, as, in
deed, in almost everything relating to
nature. On the subject of the roots of
corn writer in Up-to-Date evinces
such a careful examination as we have
indicated. He directs attention to the
fine thread-like roots near the surface,
as near as they can find both heat and
a moist soil. These roots, he says,
spread out horizontally and are almost.
certain to be destroyed or pruned by
the cultivator shovels. AS the plant
develops and has more need for food
a second set of horizontal roots are
formed, larger than the others. These
are the main feed roots of the plant,
and in loose soil they grow five to seven
feet long. If the condition of soil will
permit, these roots will develop at
such a depth below the surface as to
be safe from the cultivator shovels,
but as they branch out into numerous
fine tibrous roots they actually fill the
fine, cultivated soil to draw food from
every particle, and only shallow cult
walton will prevent injury to them.
Besides the two sets of horizontal
roots as described, there are usually
two or more sets, beginning at or near
the base of the stalk as brace roots
and go straight down into the SUBJ
soil. They have been traced as deep as
four feet. These vertical roots have
few fibrous roots attached, but serve
an important end in being able to
bring moisture from the deep soil, late
in the season, when droughts are likely
to prevail.
AS will be seen the roots of the corn
plant develop as the top grows; also
an understanding of the root develop
ment suggests the method of fertiliza-
ton which should be through all the
surface soil, and not in the hill nor in
the row only. The cultivation should
be done SO as not to interfere with the
roots that want to occupy the ground
prepared for them, yet at the same
time prevent evaporation of the m DIS
ture by maintaining a surface mulch
of fine earth, by frequent shallow cul-
tivation.

Langendoefer of this place suffered
very severely with peculiar case of
Kidney Trouble which completely baf-

was gradually growing worse. He
says: "a friend advised me to take

used two boxes 1 was entirely cured

symptom of the return of my trouble.

sicians, but they did me no good, and
instead of getting better I grew worse

Drainage Under the Barn.

Drainage is thing that is frequent
~ neglected in the construction of a
stable. The plot of ground under the
barn is permitted to accumulate mois-
ture and to lose none of it except
through overflow. This wet ground
under the stable is a fruitful source
of development for certain germs.
The ground should be so well drained
that the ground under the stable will
be always dry. Moreover the barn
yard should be thoroughly drained,
not only by digging ditch to carry
off the surface water but also by tile
drains laid three feet under the
ground and quite close. The result
of such drains is to render the ground
porous and enable the liquids to pass
quickly into the earth.-Farmers' Re-
view.

FIGURES ON COURTSHIP.
Some Interesting and Amusing Data
Relating to Marriage and
Its PreIiminaries.

A person of statistical turn of
mind has been delving into somewhat
romantic domain for one of his prac-
teal bent. He has compiled statistics
that cannot fail to prove interesting.
Eighty-one out of 100 men, he AYERS,
vowed they could not live any longer
without the adored ones; ~ held the
ladies' hands in a tight grip; 60
kissed them on the lips 10 on the
right hand, 2 on the tip of the nose,
and 1 on the shoulder; IS were so ex-
cited that they could hardly speak;
&c lost their eloquence through GER
tain qualms of conscience; IL said in
deep chest tones, THANK God" and 8
frankly admitted that they were in
expressivefy happy.
By studying the conduct of 100 men
tician obtained the following equally
interesting figures: Forty of them
rushed in frenzy out of the room;
p said that life henceforth had no
more value in their eyes and that
they would commit suicide; IA be-
came suddenly tongue-tied and IRA
tional; 6 calmly resigned themselves
to the inevitable; 5 avowed their in
tention to Immediately emigrate to
America; tore out some of their
hair; 2 bit their lips till the blood
came; 1 stuck his hands into his
trousers pockets and whistled a pop
ular song, and another looked up to-
ward heaven and began to say the
Lords prayer.
Of the ladies, 81 per cent. knew be-
forehand that the proposals were
about to be made to them. Seventy
of them sank as though embarrassed
into the arms of the loved ones and
only four fell gently down on a chair
or sofa. Fourteen covered their
blushing faces with their hands, eight
threw their arms passionately around
the necks of the men, two said,
please speak to mamma" and one
sneered.
One lady, who was 4S years old,
protested vigorously against giving
or receiving kiss. Another, who was
about the same age, said, eyes, you
may kiss me, but you must do it in
a gentlemanly manner" Such, then,
are some of the ways in which pro-
posals are made and received. The
study, is an interesting one ard in
several ways should prove especially
instructive to members of the fair
sex.
