Stories of BOycOitS, IntimIda-
 lion and Personal Violence
The Expulsion of One Man From a Temperance Society and Another From the Hibernians-The Last Session of the Strike Commission Before the Holidays Today.

Scranton, Pa, December 19-Non- union men, some of their relatives and others to the number of thirty appeared before the anthracite coal strike com mission today and told of the alleged boycotts. intimidations, dynamitins and violence in various forms during the strike. Each witness called wGy a sufferer in one form or another at the hands, they alleged, of union men. Four witnesses said attempts were made to blow up their houses, one house was badly damaged, many wit nesses were threatened with bodily harm. several were beaten, one was shot in the leg and every one stoned, bOycotted or hanged in effigy.
 One school teacher testified to hav- ing lost his position because his father did not strike. One man was aske,; to resign from a Catholic temperance society and another witness was ex- pclled from the local lodge of the Ancient Order of Hibernians after membership of twenty-siX to twenty eight years because they classed him as unfair" John H. Dugan, the man who was requested to give up his mem bNl Sillp III AAlt ltlti per diltt SONltlA It- mained at work doing repair work ana acting as a watchman.
 He wept while on the witness stand as he told of how they ordered him tu leave after many years of pleasant so- cial relations with its members. He was very active in the society anc drilled many of those who had grown to manhood in the military branch or the society. He said he had been stoned and otherwise badly treated and added that good clubbing would not have hurt half as much as the action of the society in throwing him out or the order. The boys he had drilled in the society stoned him on the highway and when he displayed his revolver they all dropped flat on the road.
 C. $. Darrow, for the miners, asked the witness if he thought the union taught them that, to which the witness replied that he, as capain of he mili- tary company society had taught tine boys the military tactics which they resorted to when he hourished his re- volver.
 James Mitchell was the man who was expelled from the Hibernian society He said he worked during the strike as a repair man and did not consider it unfair because he did not mine any coal He had been a member of the society twenty-eight years and at a meeting one night during the strike the question of his unfairness came up and the members present unanimously voted to expel him. He had been pay ing dues all these years and was in good standing and further added that now he was glad he was out of it.
 All other witness testified to having been hanged in effigy, one or more times. that grocers, butchers. milkmen and icemcn refused to serve them be- cause they were afraiu that their Dusi- ness would be boycotted and were severely beaten and socially ostracised.
 The commission will meet at o'clock tomorrow morning and will adjourn at 11:45 o'clock for the holidays, mos: of tIe commissioners leaving immedi- ately for their homes.

POULTRY POINTERS,

Pure water is more essential than
clean grass.
Even though turkeys are good for
ayers it will not pay to let them go
without proper feeding.
Everything in the rearing of young
poultry depends upon their care and
management at least until we'll feath-
cred.
Fowls inclined to fatten too easily
are not good layers. The flesh they
carry makes them lazy, and this never
promotes laying.
Middlings make good food for poul-
try, but if wet up alone it is too sticky.
The better plan is to mix with bran
or corn and wet with milk or scalding
water.
Whitewash Is better than paint on
the poultry houses, for the reason that
it costs less and has a purifying influ-
ence. 1t may be applied as often as
once month to advantage.
The properties of sunfower seed are
peculiar, and small quantity fed at
the proper time will essentially aid in
tmpartins to the plumage of adult
fowls gloss that no other grain will
produce.

Bogus Brook Raspberries.

G. G. Swain, who lives up in Bogus
and whose farm is only a little over
five miles north of Princeton, brought
some fine samples of black cap rasp-
berries, to the UNION Office this week
that for Minnesota raspberries GER
tainly are entitled to the prize. The
samples Mr.. Swain brought in are
from stock he secured from Indiana
where he farmed some years ago.
They are what are called the monthly
raspberry and commence bearing in
June and keep on bearing until the
frost catches them. The samples
show five stages of growth all from
the same vine, and there is the bios
som, the little green berry, and the
various stages OF growth, up to the
ripening berry, black and plump, and
tempting looking. Then another
sample shows part of the vine that
bore berries in July. Mr.. Swain says
that his vines are out in the garden
about thirty vines, and while unless
we'll covered up, the vines will be
winter killed the roots live and the
vines shoot up and bear berries the
same season. The samples he brought
to the UNION Office are from vines that
grew up this season from the roots.
Some of his neighbors did not believe
that he ever raised the berries on his
farm. Mr.. Swain may possibly bring
in samples of his Indiana raspberry
vines and exhibit them at the county
fair. There are many farmers living
around Princeton who don't believe
that small fruit can be raised in this
country successfully, but they should
do like Mr.. Swain and try the expert
ment. The country in this section is
good for fruit raising and if the farmer
will lock arms with the land in the
proposition he will surely succeed.

GainsbOrOuSh and His Carrier

One Of the earliest members Of the
Royal academy, it was Gainsborough's
custom to have his pictures conveyed
to the metropolis by prosperous Lon
don carrier, Mr.. Wiltshire Of Shock
erwick, near Bath. This man refused
to accept payment on the ground that
he loved pictures too we'll. He was
not, however, allowed to go unreward-
ed, for Gainsborough presented him
with six of his best works, and some
idea of their ultimate value may be
gained from the fact that when at
length they were sold the National gal
lery secured two, The Parish Clerk of
Bradford-on-Ayon," for 500 guineas,
and ''The Harvest Wagon" for f2,500,
these prices being considered low.
Later 'The Sisters from another gal
lery realized close upon 10000.
