arge companies have not yet assent.
cd to the proposed outside agreement,
but that in all probability they will
consent and continue TO work as q
unit as they did during the strike. The
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron company has not yet been heard
from on the matter. Those which are
said to be in the agreement scheme
are the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western, the Lehigh Valley, the Della
ware and Hudson and the Erie COM
pany, which controls the Pennsylvania
Coal company and the Hillside Coal
and Iron company.
1t has been realized that at least two
of the four demands of the miners

but must be fixed up at the mines.
The proposition to have the mine work
ers make contracts with their employ
,rs only. and not as it is done in the
bituminous states, where the operators
have state or district organizations
which recognize the United Mine
Workers, does not carry with it rec
ignition of that union, and on that
ground it is not likely that the two
parties will he able to settle it with
out resort to the arbitration commits

The testimony yesterday was mostly
given by doctors, who were positive
that mining coal was most unhealthy
business. Dr. Roberts asserted that
the situation during the late strike was
a state of war and that "both parties

BEGAN TO APPRECIATE THE JOB
Concluded That Life Was Too Short to
Permit of a Fnll Investigan.

It is said it was all brought about
by both sides seeing that the pro-
ceedings before the commission would
be interminable, and that in the in
termingling of the lawyers for both
sides the outside agreement PROPOSE
ton was preached and taken up. 1t
cannot be officially stated which par
ty made the proposition first The
attorneys for both sides are averse to
talking, but those who were inclined
to say something differ in their state
ments. An attorney for one of the
railroads said it came from the miners
side, while ore lawyer for the miners
said it was a spontaneous PROPOSE
ton.
1t is generally believed, however,
that the operators We're the first to
make the proposition. Wayne Mac
Veagh is given credit for bringing
about the present situation. The COM
missioners were informed of the new
turn of affairs, and acquiesced in the
proposed arrangement. The subject
did not directly come up in the pub
lie hearing yesterday, and the adjourn
ment proposition was made ostensibly
to permit both sides to complete their
work Of preparing documentary evil
dence
Clarence s. barrow, of Chicago, one
of Mitchells attorneys, suggested that
the miners be given little more time
to prepare their evidence. The min
ers wanted to present the due bills, or
wage statements, of thousands of min
ers, running back for several years,
and they found that the task of pre-
senting them in proper manner was
a stupendous one. They also wanted
to carefully examine the company
books and this, too, would take consid-
cradle time.

AMERICAN AUDIENCES.
Men and Women and Their Effect
Upon Public Meetings..

Men and Women and Their Eject
Upon Public Meetings.
American audiences are strangely
alike in some things and strangely dis
similar in others. A good committee
will take as much pains in the ar
rangement of it's audience as of it's
speakers. An audience seated without
crowding is seldom enthusiastic. Mel
ther is an audience whose hands are
occupied with bundles or umbrellas, an
audience largely composed of women
or an audience in a cold room. The
easiest audiences to address, the most
responsive and inspiring, are those
composed of men crowded and packed
together and warm.
Women naturally do not applaud or
cheer. They are by instinct more self
restrained in the public expression Of
their emotions than men. Every public
speaker is complimented by their pres
ence, knowing that their quiet word at
home is oftentimes more effective in
results than the most enthusiastic
shouting on the street corners by the
other sex. In a public meeting, how
ever, the audience gets it's cue from
those nearest the speaker. remember
well two audiences, both from the
same social class, both crowded, both
in large theaters and both largely at
tended by women. One happened to be
in Colorado, one in Massachusetts,. In
one meeting the orchestra was re-
served for women. In the other meet
ing the men had the orchestra and the
women had the lower gallery and all
the boxes. In both cases the audiences
we're entirely friendly to the speakers.
The second meeting was marked by
wild enthusiasm, the first one by re-
spectful attention. In the second case
the mass of men in the orchestra urged
on the speakers by continued applause.
In the first case the men in the CALLER
les who started to applaud were
checked because between them and
the speakers was mass of absolutely
silent femininity in the orchestra. l do
not say that one meeting was less eff
fective than the other, but the differ
ence in the strain on the speaker was
marked.-From "The Spellbinder," by

No Influence Above.

In DR.. John Halls time it was the
custom in his church to use the old
fashioned, simple hymns. and the sing
ing was congregational.
On one occasion William NJ. Evarts
discovered e. Delafield Smith, then
corporation counsel of New York city,
singing with all his heart and whis-
pered to his friend:
"Why, there is Smith singing 81
want to be an angel! | knew he want
ed to be district attorney, but l didn't
know he wanted to be an angel"
The remark was repeated to Mr..
Smith, and quick as flash came the
retort:

ter to Evarts, knowing that he had no
influence in that direction"

Delicate Tact.

I watched them on the street car
the little mother and her manly boy of
nine or ten.
Before them was seated a white
haired man, whose almost entirely
sight1ess eyes were hidden behind a
pair of dark glasses. The man was
trusting to instinct or intuition, which
ever one may call it. more than to
sight to tell him when he bad reached
his particular corner. Closely he bent
his face to the glass and hesitatingly
reached his hand toward the bell.
Mother" whispered the manly boy.
may l not ask him where he wants
to get off and help him tooY'
One glance at the proud, pale face
and the little mother answered:
mo, son: don't believe he would
like to be made feed dependent"
Then as quick as thought she said in
loud tone:
"See, Sun; the next corner is Seventh
street, then Sixth and broadway. The
hotel Is on Broadway. Don't let moth
er miss It"
Promptly the mans hand went to
the bell. Seventh was evidently the
street he wanted.
fancy that when that boy has grown
to be a man any expression of the fine

Chicago, Nov. 24.-General Manager
G. a. Goodnow of the Rock Island
road, gave out he following official
statement of the Davenport hold-up:
"Our No. II, leaving Chicago at 6:O5
p. m. for Fort Worth, Tex, via Kan
sas City, was stopped about a mile
and a half west of West Davenport
at midnight by a man displaying a red
light, using a switch lamp taken from
the west switch of the yard in the VI
cinity for that purpose.
Cars Cut from Train.
give men compelled the engineer
and fireman to cut off the mail and
baggage cars and run the two cars far
Their west about one mile. The engin-
Ger and fireman were then compelled
at the point of revolvers to go to the
express car and open the door. The
baggageman and express man were Ia
ken from the cars to the engine and
three men left to guard them and the
engineer and fireman, while two blew
open the Chicago safe of the United
States Express company in the express
car. All the contents of the safe were
taken. The roof and side of the bag
gage and express car were badly dam
aged. about fifteen feet of the roof be-
ing entirely blown off. The train was
detained two hours and ten minutes.
The men engaged in this robbery all
wore masks, dark clothes and SLOUGH
hats and kept in the dark as much as
possible.
Description Is Very Meager.
''From that cause and owing to the
excitement our employees are unable to
give any description of the men ex-
cept that one was very TALL slim,
raw-boned man, possibly 6 TT. tall, and
three were medium-siz men, rather
heavy, and one was short, heavy

export were promptly notified and
were very quickly on the ground, but
could find no wagon tracks leading
from the scene of the robbery. Tie
supposition is that the robbers left the

through a cornfield. The sheriff at
Rock Island, with bloodhounds, was
promptly on tie scene and every effort
is being made to trace the robbers"

Seems To Be the Destination OF
the Antnracita Mine Strike
Matter.
NEW PROPOSAL rs PUT FORWARD
BY Which the Dispute May Be Settled
Z by the Parties Interested.
Suggestion of Ten Days Recess OF
the Commission That the New
Scheme May Be Given a
Trial.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 22.-The mine
workers, through their representatives,
have agreed with the mine owners to
attempt to adjust the differences ex-
listing between them outside the an
thracite coal strike commission. The
proposition was made on compromise
basis, and negotiations, it is expected,
will be at once entered upon with
reasonable hope of settlement. The
rough proposition which is to form the
basis of negotiations is 10 per cent.
increase in wages, a nine-hour day, and
trade agreements between the miners
and the company by whom they are
employed. The only one of the four de-
mands not touched upon is that of the
weighing of coal by the legal ton.
Terms Stated Are Only Basis.
While both sides have expressed their
willingness to settle their differences
among themselves it is not to be con-
strued that it carries with it the &C
ceptance of the terms proposed. They
are mentioned only as basis, it is un~
derstoOd, from which a settlement is to
be effected. 1t is possible that the
foundation already laid can be wrecked
by either party holding out too strong
~ against some question, and thus
leave the whole matter in the hands
of the commissioners who, in the mean
time, will act as board of concilia-
ton, rather than an as board Of ar
bitra ton.
Created Mild Sensation.
Few persons were aware that an at
tempt would be made at an outside set
Element until it was pra ctically so in
timated by Judge Gray, the chairman
of the commission who read a care
fully prepared announcement from the
"bench." The move. one Of the most
important in the whole history of the
coal strike, created a mild sensation
when it became known. The surprise
was all the greater when it will be re-
membered that numerous persons, from
the president of the United States
down, and that many organizations,
from the National Civic Federati to
the small boards of trade of the min
ing towns failed to bring the two par
ties together.
