WILKESBARRE, Pa, June 5.-More
engineers, firemen and pump runners
obeyed the call of the miners union
and struck yesterday, but in most in
stances the coal company officials were
able to fill the places OF the strikers.
The Susquehanna Coal company's col
licry No. 5, at Nanticoke, was the worst
sufferer, all the fremen refusing to 60
to work, which compelled the company
to shut down the engines. This colliery
furnishes the power for the water sup
ply of Nantcoke, and unless the Ell.
gines are again started the borough
will have water famine to contend
with. There was a fire in the town
during the day, and as the fire alarm is
sounded by means Of the colliery whis-
tie there was considerable trouble and
delay before The volunteer tiremen
could be called to the scene Of the fire.
The company, it is said, will allow its
mines to fill with water and let the Dor.
ough get it's water supply as best 1t
can.
1t was comparatively quiet in the
Wyoming valley. There was the usual
gathering of crowds at several collier
les at starting and stopping time, but
nothing of a serious nature occurred.
Some men were stoned on their way to
and from work, and several were
thrown into pools Of water. The fear
of bodily harm Is causing more men to
quit work than are the arguments Of
the strikers.
President Mitchell is kept busy in
his headquarters. He will say nothing
regarding his visit to Scranton, where
lie met Frank p. Sargent, chief of the
locomotive firemen. Regarding the gen.
eral strike situation he said everything
was progressing satisfactorily, that
more men were coming out each day
and that the idle men are behaving
themselves well. In emphasizing the
latter statement Mr.. Mitchell said the
chief of the Wilkesbarre police told
him that during the twenty-one days
the strike has been on there have been
fewer arrests than during the same
number of days prior to the suspension
of work. Among the arrests that were
made not one was a miner. Ihe ma
tional president had no comment to
make when informed that the New
York board of trade had decided to ask
President Roosevelt to take up the task
Of trying to end the great struggle.

CANAL TAKEN UP
Senator Morgan Opens the
Debate.
NICARAGUA ROUTE STRONGLY URGED
Chairman of Committee on Inter-
oceanic Waterway Does Not Deem
Danger From Seismic Disturb
ances Worth Consideration.

WASHINGTON, June 5.--Discussion
of the project of constructing an 18TH
milan canal was begun by the senate
yesterday. Mr.. Morgan (Ala), chair
canals, opened the debate, speaking
nearly three hours. 4 considerable pOr-
ton of his speech was devoted to an
examination of the recently suggested
danger to the Nicaragua canal route
ny seismic disturbances. This danger,
he concluded, after a careful review Of
many authorities, existed only in the
Imagination of those who desired to
defeat any canal project. His study of
the situation had convinced him that
really there was greater danger from
volcanic and earthquake disturbances
to the Panama route than to the Mica
ragua route, hut he was satisfied that
little danger TO either was to be antici-
pated.
Mr.. Morgan reviewed Mt length the
political conditions in Colombia, find
ing in them a grave menace to the
United States in the construction Of
canal by the Panama route. He pre-
scented also the present phases Of the
diplomatic negotiations looking to the
building of canal by both the Mica
ragua route and by the Panama route.
He closed with n strong appeal for the
passage of the Nicaragua bill.
The debate on the antianar"hy bill
continued all day in the house. 1t was
without sensational features, being con-
fined almost entirely to the legal and
constitutional phases of the question.
Mr. jenkins wis, and Mr.. Parker
IN. j. cOntended that the bill did not
go far enough; that the killing Of the
president should be made punishable
by death without any limitation what

lcss fortunate. No rich man can
deny his obligation to the poor man
in this world, The poor man was
here first. The very first man that
God made was a poor mau, and ever
since every man that has become
rich has come into bis possessions,
only because he has entered into
the heritage left him BY others
poorer than himself
It is the poor man, planning to
build no barns, but erecting in u
night mansion in the air and greet
ed by the children at his own mod
est door, as he returns from the toll
of the day, who is the rich man, and
it is the toiling troubled rich man,
not knowing what to do with his
increasing stock and crops and divi-
dends who is the poor man.
The fool of this parable was not
rich toward God, and that was his
browning sin. o what a chance he
had. What wealth Of opportunity.
What riches of responsibility. And
he could have measured up to it, for
he was practical and painsaking, and
hard working, but he was fool. A
fool because though rich he was
starving his soul, and insult to God.
He could have been rich in faith, in
love, in charity, in kindness, in
broad-hearted,in PhilanthNphy, but
he preferred to be rich in Barns.
0 what blunder he made. God
pity and forgive the men who, like
him, are blind to their highest OPP
portunities, and deficient in their
highest duty, and may they unlike
him repent before the night has
come. -

Delivering Coal In Lonrl lon.

A proof of the conservative ways OF
the English people IS the manner in
which Goals for the household fires'
are distributed and stored.
Instead of the American coal cart,
which is loaded in less than five min
utes from an elevated coal bin, the
American visiting London finds an
ordinary wagon made to carry about
a dozen large bags of coal, which are
filled one by one at an expense or
much time and labor, and then lifted
into the vehicle like so many milk
cans.
When an American coal cart reaches
the house where it's load is to be
dumped the cart is backed up against
the side of the pavement the chute
is drawn out like the barrel of tele-
scope. and the end inserted in the
coalhole. in a few minutes the entire
load, with the rush of water falling
over a small cataract, runs down into
heap on the floor of the coal cellar.
In London, on the other hand each
bag of coal has to be taken separately
from the wagon and emptied as near
as may be in the coalhole; and when
the task is at last finished the coal
which has rallen on the pavement has
to be laboriously shoveled into the
coal cellar-Nineteenth Century.

French Woman Barrister.

1t is Just year ago since Mile. Chau-
vim the lady barrister, made her first
anpearance at the Paris bar. Inter
viewed on her experiences, she states
that the fact that she is a woman
seems to be forgotten by both bench
and bar, and she no longer excites the
slightest curiosity at the law courts.
She has appeared in some fifty cases
during the year, including divorce
case. when she represented the hus-
band and obtained judgment against
the unfaithful wife She far prefers
equity work, however, and never wants
to enter an assize court. In the first
place, she says one has to tell too
many untruths there, and secondly, for
her part, she resolutely refuses to &C
cept a brief unless absolutely con-
WINGED of the justice of her clients
cause.
Mile. Chauvin looks upon the sick
ening leniency melted out to murderers
in Paris, and especially to murderesses
with disgust and stupefaction, and add
ed that no woman need trouble to get
a divorce; she only need kill her hus-
band to obtain her freedom and be-
come a popular idol.-Paris Core

MONEY IN SKATING Kinks.


-Four Successful Ones, Paying Large Divi-
dends to Stockholders.
Roller skating Kinks, once the most
popular resorts of young folks, have)
been run at loss for several years.
but there is money in real ice skating
Kinks. There are four in successful
operation and they yield satisfactory
dividends to their stockholders. One
is in Manhattan, one in Brooklyn, one
in st. Louis and one in Pittsburg.
Preparation of the floor is the most
expensive item. The ice is formed on
a floor of special felt-covered boards
laid in prepared asphalt. Underneath.
in filing of ground cork. run the
pipes conveying the refrigerating
brine.
The pipes are usually laid only three
inches apart. Though the buildings
can be heated by steam to tempera-
ture of 40 degrees or Whereabouts the
surface of the ice can be kept hard at
all times by the frosty brine under
meath
The Brooklyn rink represents an IN
vestment of 100000 and has been a
paving enterprise from the beginning.
Last year the stockholders received 1t
per cent.
The Pittsburg rink, which is on a
larger scale, represents an investment
| of 100000. 1t was built four years ago
and has never paid less than IL per
cent The two other Kinks are pro-
portionately profitable.

BREAD AND BUTTER STATE.
New Name Gained for Minnesota by Its
Dairy Products and Flour.

New Name Gained for Minnesota by Its
Dairy Products and Flour.
Minnesota has heretofore been
known as the Gopher State. Now it is
beginning to be called the Bread and
Butter States. The reason of the
change becomes clear when it is said
that last year it's mills turned out &c.
63O, 900 barrels of flour and there were
churned in the state 5O,O0O,O00 pounds
of butter.
In the produce of spring wheat, Min
nesota stands at the head of the states
of the country and its flour mills are
noted not only throughout the North
west, but in foreign countries as well.
The extensive development OF its dairy
interests is comparatively recent.
The combination of wheat and flour
with milk and butter is more clearly
marked in Minnesota than in any other
| state. New York and Illinois are i'm
| portant dairy states, but the value OF
the wheat crop in New York is less
than one-third the value of its oat
| crop and less than one-eishth the
value of the hay crop, wheat being now
| one of the minor agricultural products
| of New York once the chief wheat
state.
| Illinois raises q fair amount of wheat
| much more Importance. yields In a
year SIS to every dollar received from
the product of wheat.
