Facts often Spoil Good Story.

Before college closed last spring Ernest
Thompson Seton went out to Stanford uni
versity to deliver lecture on wild ami
mails to whom he had introduced himself,
or some kindred subject. He was enter
tanned at dinner before the lecture, and
about the board were several Western 20
ologists of prominence. One strenuous
young Westerner, whose occupation lies
in catching wild animals alive. spoke Of a
commission which he had just received
to capture some Rocky mountain sheep.
"How will you go about it?" questioned
Mr. Thompson.
"Pn try to get them when young lambs"
said the young man, before they are able
to move about rapidly

VOTE TO CONTINUE STRIKE.
Local Unions of the Miners Unanimous In
Their Decision.

HeiF OSCiSiOHs
WILKEsBARRE, Pa. Oct. Sunless
York bears fruit, the end of the mine
workers strike seems a long way off and
the prospect of sufficient coal being mined
to satisfy the public demand is extremely
poor. Every local union of the miners
organization throughout the hard coal belt
held special meetings, either last night or
today, and resolved to remain on strike
until the mine owners grant them some
concessions; and while the reports of
these meetings came pouring into Wilkes
barre, President Mitchell dictated letter
to the president Of the United States IN
which he gave his answer to the PROPOSE
ton that the strikers return to work and
trust to have their condition improved
through an Investigating commission.
What the answer of the miners chief
is he refused to divulge but it is difficult
to conceive that with the replies OF the
local unions piled around him he could
do otherwise than respectfully decline the
his letter to Washington before he had
heard from all the locals, and at 8 o'clock
in the afternoon left for New York. His
mission there is also a secret. AS New
ators, rumor Immediately spread that
a settlement was in prospect, but. Mr..
Mitchell and his colleagues would not say
whom they expected to meet.
The resolutions adopted by the miners
unions affirm the confidence of the men in
the integrity and judgment of their pres
1dent, praise PRESIDENT Roosevelt Tor MS
efforts to end the strike denounce the
presidents of the coal carrying railroads
for their alleged abuse of the chief exec
utfve at the conference in Washington;
denounce the employment of the coal and
iron police; thank all organizations and
citizens throughout the country for the
financial assistance given, and denounce
Gov. Stone for sending troops here. Nearly
all the resolutions contained a SEN
tence to the effect that the men will re-
main out though all the troops in the
United States were sent here" until they
are granted some concessions.
There is no increase in the shipment of
COAL very little Of which is being pro-

BOARD OF CONTROL rs
REPUBLICAN BUGBEAR
Politicians Do Not Believe the Report of
the Board viii Help Admins
tration Cause.

The contribution of the state board of
control to the Republican campaign pole
mics scattered broadcast throughout the
state for the edification of sophisticated
voters is not regarded as an unmixed
blessing at Republican state headquar-
tiers. There Is suspicion among some Of
the politicians that the weighty docu-
ment possesses unintentionally some OF
the possibilities of ay boomerang, and
that even If it does not intiiSs an abso-
lutte injury 1t will not prove a strong
drawing card in the all-star three -ringed
hepuDncan circus.
''Why the fact that 1t claims the board
of control has saved $3.50, 900 won't bring
six votes into the Republican party" said
a member of the executive committee last
night "They could save twice that and
the influence they exert wouldn't amount
to the weight of pin"
The publication of the boards report
at this juncture, it Is argued, centers at
tention on the board of control question
stirs up the embers of a strictly family
dispute as to the merits of the system.
The board has naturally made many
enemies in institution" towns among
formerly stanch Republicans.

COULDN'T SURROGATE
MALTESE TABBY CAT
Feline Caught in Fire Is Overcome by

ed the big policeman, and he was just
about to carry out his own command
when the seemingly dead object re-
turned to life. With a pitiful howl the
Maltese cat came to, gave a quick
glance about her and then dashed up an
alley.
All this happened early this morning
at a fire in John Calauder's carpenter
shop, 143 East Eighth street. Pussy
was sleeping in the building when the
fire broke out, and when the flames
were subdued was found lying pros
trated in her bed, apparently suffocat-

Policeman Burke carried the cat to
the sidewalk and tenderly laid her
down.

all, there was enough smoke in there
to kill fifty men,"
But pussy had lives to spare.
