Mr.. MacVeagh Finishes His Cross
examination of Mitchell

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 1S.-Another large
crowd was IN attendance today when
the arbitration commission began its
fourth days sitting. Mr.. Mitchell. who
has been on the stand since last Fri
day, took his place in the witness box
and his cross-examinatiOn by Wayne
MacVeagh, for the Erie COMPANY. was
resumed 1t was the general opinion
of attorneys today that some arrange
ment will have to be made to shorten
the inquiry At the rate progress is
now being made it will take many
weeks to hear both sides to the con-
trOVerSy. If counsel takes no action
it is likely the commission will suggest
that something be done. The commits
sionerS recognize that President Mitch
ell is the most important witness the
miners have and they are Ioath to have
matters hurried while he is on the
stand. His opinions are looked upon as
official and also as rejecting the policy
of the union.
Before proceeding to the examination
John 7. Lenahan of Wilkesbarre, one
of the attorneys for the non-union men,
who want the commission to take up
their case, handed 10 the commission
a list of 1000 names of non-union men
as his authority for appearing before
the arbitrator. He did not wish the
commission to make the names public
at this time, but as Chairman Gray
said everything filed with the commits
sion is public matter, the names We're
unofficiaIly handed in and were not
given out for publication He also filed
a statement of the non union demands
which were published this morning.

desired to dine at Delmonico's for the
first time. AS he sat down his atten-

next table who was reading a news
paper and eating a dish of olives.
When three or four has disappeared
the newcomer turned to the waiter and
said: whats them he's eating?"
OLIVES, sir" Bring me two Dozen"
When they came the Irishman slapped
two of them in his mouth and began
to chew. Suddenly he spat them out,
stones and all. He looked at the man
who was calmly eating away. Then he
went over, touched him on the shoul-
der, and said: Excuse me, sir, but

Mountains Are Moving.

"The mountains are constantly NOV
ing" was the remark OF an officer OF
the Denver &c Rio Grande road recent
ly, in speaking of the great landslides
in the canyon above Glenwood
Springs, Col. We find from actual
experience in maintaining tunnels,
bridges and tracks in the mountains
that the mountains are moving. 1t
costs railway passing through the
mountains a great deal Of money in
the course Of ten years to keep the
tracks in line, and maintenance of tun-
rels is even more expensive. Drive a
stake on the side of mountain, take
the location with the greatest care,
and return after few months. The
stake is not in the same location. The
whole side of the mountain has moved.
This experiment has often been tried,
and in all cases the result proves that
the mountains are moving. The noun
tains are gradually seeking the level
of the sea-"

Smith Leaves the State.

The case of the state Of Nebraska
against William R. Smith was called in
county court at York and dismissed at
request Of the complaining witness.
Smith was arrested and placed in all
on the charge of threatening to do bod
lily injury to Miss Nora Hilton. a
thorough investigation of the case has
been made by the county attorney.
1t was found that all that could be
done in the case was to fine him and
place him under bond to not molest
or in any way interfere with Miss
Hilton, and as he had neither money
nor friends the only thing that could
have been done would have been to
keep him in Jail for time and then
turn him loose. Smith agreed to leave
the county and stay away under pen
atty of arrest should he return.

Clerical Anti-ceIlbacy Movement.

A clerical anti-celibacy movement is
developing in Italy, especially in the
southern provinces, and attracts the
attention of the Vatican. Energetic
papal measures are imminent to crush
the movement. Such a movement is
not new in the church. 1t exists more
or less latently in all South America,
and several countries of Europe, es-
pecially Hungary. An ex-nuncio says
the Vatican is obliged to take no no.
tice of the irregular conduct of the
Hungarian clergy to avoid possible
schism, and several eminent Catholics
are now convinced that the marriage
of priests is preferable to the present
state of things. 1t is not likely, how
ever, that the Vatican will at present
give way, although the church recog-
niZes the marriage of priests among
the 100000 Catholics of Oriental
rites.

Friar's Death by Water Cure Cannot
Be Legally Avenged.

WASHINGTON.-The secretary OF
war on Friday sent to the attorney
general papers in the case of Father
Augustine, who died from the effects
of the water cure" administered by
soldiers of Vermont regiment, while
serving in the Philippines.
The case has been thoroughly inves-
tigated by the judge advocate general
of the army upon the charges brought
by Charles Francis Adams, Herbert
Welsh and others of what was known
to the Lake George conference.
1t is said the guilt has not been
brought home to any person now
serving in the army. 1t is expected,
therefore, that the attorney general
will declare that neither the courts
in this country nor those in the Phil
ippines have any jurisdiction over the
men or officers who have been dis
charged from the army.

RATES SHOWED UP
FREIGHT AGENTS DECIDE CoUN-
TRY CAN STAND RAISE.
FORMER RATES co into EFFECT
Reduced Tariffs Filed Since Injunc-
tions Are All to Be WithdraWn-ln-
creased Revenue viii Amount to a
Large Sum.

CHICAGO.-A meeting was held
Thursday Of the general freight agents
of all western roads with view to re-
storing the rates which were in effect
January 1, 1902. Instructions to re-
store all such rates as could possibly
be restored were issued by the execu
tive officials and it is stated that they
will be carried out o the letter.
Independent of this meeting the Col
orado lines met and began the work
Of restoring conditions to Colorado
common points.
The plan is to go on the old basis
of rates the first of the year, which
will necessitate the withdrawal Of all
the reduced tariffs placed in effect
since January l, 1902
Since the issuing of the instruc
tions by the United States courts fully
1,200 reduced tariffs have been filed
with the interstate commerce COM
mission at Washington and are now
in effect. If it is found possible to take
out the majority of these tariffs, the
western roads will enjoy an increased
revenue next year amounting to sew
eral million dollars. Whether the rate
raising will go beyond the restora-
tion of the old tariff remains to be
seen.
Several reasons are assigned by rail-
road officials for a readjustment of
freight schedules, the most important
being the increased cost of material
which is used in railroad construc-
ton. Another is the general raise in
wages. Most railroad officials cannot
see why the cost of every other COM
modify which is for sale is increased
and freight rates stay down. 1t is eX-
pected that so long as the present
plethora of freight traffic keeps UP the
railroads will be able to maintain
higher tariffs without serious rate cut

PITTSBURG.-Railr executives
Of the districts of the central freight

The application and the division of
the advances on the rates from Pitts
burg to the east and west are matters
Of detail to be worked out in the tariff
committees and associations.
In the cheaper grain traffic an ad-
vance of Is per cent is to be made.
This will go into effect December s.

The strict censorship which has

Huevero Barris is reported to have
been closed. No mail has arrived

TIE BLOOD.

The blood is life We derive from
the blood life, power, beauty and rea-
son, as the doctors have been saying
from time immemorial. A healthy
body, a fresh appearance, and gener-
ally all the abilities we possess de-
pend on that source of life. 1t is
therefore the duty of every sensible
normal as possible. Nature, in its
infinite wisdom, has given us a ther-
mometer indicating the state of the
blood, which appeals to our reason by
giving notice of its impurity. Small
eruptions of the skin, to which we
scarcely pay any attention, headache,
ringing noises in the ears, lassitude,
sleeplessness, are generally a sign
that the blood is not in its normal
state, but is filed with noXiOus sub
stances. These symptoms deserve
our full attention. If more attention
were paid to those symptoms, and
steps taken to remove them, then
many illnesses from which we suffer
would become unknown and the hui
man body would become stronger and
healthier. Attention therefore should
be paid to those warning signs, and
the blood can be purified and poison
Gus substances removed from it by the
use of DR.. August Koenigs Hamburg
Drops, discovered more than 60 years
ago.

Supreme Court Says 1t Cannot Legally
Transact Business in Nebraska.

supreme CCufT SayS 1t Sanhor Ee9dIly
Transact Business in Nebraska.
In an extended opinion written by
Justice Sedgwick the supreme court
put the Nebraska Home company out
of business in this state by declaring
that it is a lottery and that it's pro-
moters promise impossible things.
The court finds that the numbering of
certificates in the order in which ap-
plicatiOnS therefor are received gives
to the enterprise the element of
chance, which makes it q lottery. 1t
also finds that while the first twenty
two applicants out Of 1000 may re-
ceive the benefits promised by the
company inside of the twenty-month
period after the filing OF the apDlica-
tions the 1,OO0th applicant has little
to hope for in the way Of benefit in
this world, as it will take him seventy
years to realize, and that the com
pany does not profess to DO anything
for him in the next world.
The suit is in the nature Of a quo
warranto proceeding and was institut-
ed by Attorney General Prout on be
half Of the state to prevent the com
pany from doing business in Nebraska.
