PROBABLE CAUSE FOUND
For Holding Boston Railroad Ticket
Brokers for Grand Jury.

Boston, Aug. 1.-The hearing in the
cases If Gabriel A. Beeklnan and
Theodore w. Phinney, ticket brokers'
charged with conspiracy to defraud the
Boston & Maine Railroad Co., by the
manipulation of season tickets to Port
land, was held in the municipaI court
today, and botl, men We're held to the
grand jury on probable cause. Similar
charges against William II. Stewart
and Clarence A. Cclpitts We're not
finished.
In the case of Beekman and Phinney
it was charged that Beekman had sold
to another person non-transfarable
season ticket to Portland, issued by
the Boston & Maine only to the person
whose name appeared upon it, and that
the name upon the ticket so disposed
was that of Mr.. Phinney. The railroad
company did not claim that Mr.. Phin-
ney had purchased the ticket or that It
was issued to him.
The case of Stewart and Colpitts diff
fers from the Beekman- Phinney case
IN that both defendants are said to be
ticket broi:ers, the man in this instance
whose name appeared upon the ticket
secured not being complained OF, but
being Il witness for the complainant.

Wilkesbarre, Aug. 1.-The riot al

depressing effect at strike headquar-
ters- The 9th Regiment, N. G. p, with

will encourage the operators 10 start
up their mines and if the col.ieries in
the Schuylkill district are put N oper-
alton, it will only be a question OF time
until mines in other parts OF the strike
belt resume, for the miners oc the Wy
omlng and Lackawanna valleys will
not be content to remain idle While
their brethren in other parts of the re-
gion are working.
1t is the history of past coal strikes
that the presence of the militia Is al
most always a sure indication of az;
early resumption Of mining.
Those of the local operators who
could be seen, today, are of the opinion
that the backbone of the strike IS now
broken and that it will only lie Il short
time until there will be resumption
of mining. National Board Member
John Fallon. who arrived at President
MitchelFs headquarters. today, would
not admit, however, that the affair 1T
Shenandoah, unfortunate as it was,
would change the situation. He said
the great bulk of the strikers were Or
DERBY and would continue peaceful. AS
long as that was the case the operators
would have little hope that their Old

A TaImage Test.

The late Rev DIR. Talmage used to
tell this story on himself with gusto:
One summer day he was preaching.
The windows of the church were down
from the top. His text was:
and the Spirit of the Lord descend
ed upon him as a dove"
Right in the midst of the sermon, az
the most impressive point. just as the
doctor had repeated the text, dove
flew in the window and settled on the
pulpit The effect was electrical, and
DR.. Talmage made good use OF the in
cident, we may be sure.
The sermon created a sensation and
was the talk of the city. So much so
that he was requested to repeat it. Eie
consented, but how to get another dove
to fly into the church was his problem.
Then the thought struck him of haV-
ing the sexton carry dove into the
roof above the dome of the church, and
at the opportune moment let it loose.
Mind. now, Michael said the doc
tor, when / say, and the Spirit de-
seconded on him like dove let the
dove down."
The church was thronged. DR.. Tai
mage grew more and more eloquent rs
he proceeded. At length he came 10
the critical passage, and dropping his
hands to his side With a startling bang,
he hoarsely whispered:
.'And the Spirit descended upon him
like dove
No answer from Michael.
Again the doctor said, this time
louder, looking toward the roof.
Then, from the dome, Mike was
heard in stage whisper,
Yer reverence, the cats ate up the
dove. VIII send down the cat?" :

LETTER WRITING.
Courtesy Should Prevail in This as in
Conversation.

Does anyone know why the same fine
courtesy which prevails in wellbre,.

writing? When two people of good
breeding meet for half hours talk.
each listens to what the other saws.
shows interest in every remark: asks
civil qnstions about all that is su--
gested. keeps himself, his own affairs.
lis family interests, somewhat in the
background, while he leads his friend.
If possible. 10 speak of what concerns
him personally, until. perhaps, the
river Of conversation flows out into
broader fields, taking into itself many
streams of the general and imnersonal.
But are we as civil as this when W.
write letters? When we talk on paper
instead of face to face? For example.
NY friend writes a letter to me after a
long journey across the continent. 1t
is full of original and delicious bits Of
his impressions and experiences along
The route. He puts his best thought
his best and brightest self into giving
me share in something which has
been to him vitality interesting. though
the letter is by no means given wholly
TO such matters. With fire courtesy
lie hegs me to write in reply what am
doing, hearing, seeing and thinking; in
short. tell him all about myself. What
has this friend right to think of me.
if in return for the brightness, the
charm, the scope of his letter, send an
alleged answer. in which l write CO.
piously of myself and my own affairs.
with scarcely an allusion to anything
that he said? Devote possibly a sin
gle sentence thereto; go so far, per-
chance, as to say that l received the
letter and then without further allusion
to its contents proceed to write pages
filed with |, me, my and mine?
These personalities, the pleasant lit
tie things, have their place of course;
we al wish for them in the easy-going
friendly letter. but have we any right
TO ignore nine-tenths of what a friend
has taken the pains to write to u.s.
Why are we civil to each other in a
tete-a-tete and rude III correspond
ence? Talking is relatively easy, let
ter writing involves more time and eff
