REASONABLE DEMANDS.

The demands Of the striking miners
are not al all unreasonable, and there
can be no legitimate reason Gll the
part of the mine owners for declining
to grant the concessions. except that
the coal barons have been robbing
the miners as well as the consumers
Of coal, and to grant the five demands
OF the miners W4Mld put an end to
lowing are the concessions the miners
ask:
First An increase in wages Tor
men employed on piece work.
Second. y reduction in the hours
OF labor fcT men employed by the
day.
Third. Payment fol legal ton Of
coal.
Fourth. That the coal We mine
shall be honestly weighed and cor
rectiv recorded; and
Fifth. We favor Incorporating in
the form of an agreement the wages
ef,t shall be paid and the conditions
q employment that shall obtain for a
specific period.
Mr. Baer may be correct in saying
that Providence had placed the coal
mining business in the hands of the
people who at present contra! it, but
Providence certainly made the mis-
axe OF selecting a lot of rascals to
turn ever to one of the most important
industries of the cealntry.

oDD1TY OF FRENCH LAW:
American Woman Robbed by a Cham
hermaid and the Stolen Goods
Given to the Thief.

Miss Elsie Daniels, the daughter Of
an American merchant at Paris, has
just had an illustration Of French red
tape in all its beauty.
Her chambermaid stole from her
some time ago a sum of money and
Jewels. The plumber she still, had con-
cealed about her person when she was
arrested. On being put in Jail the
servant had to deposit with the regis.
trar of the prison the valuables She
had with. her, and of course she had
to hand over the stolen property with
whatever else she had. ~ a
The maid was sentenced to prison
for six months, her term expiring the
other day. As soon as she was re.
leased both the servant and her former
mistress appeared before the regis
trar to claim their property. The Of
fetal, though he well knew the facts,
argued that he must return the val.
uables to the person holding the re.
ceipt for them, and thereupon gave the
stolen money and jewels to the thief
who promptly disappeared Miss Dam
iels will now sue the state.

THE STRONGEST COLLEGE.
Tests Being Made at the Present Time
" to Discover the Most Athletic
Body Of Students 49,.


College men throughout the United
States have begun to take strength
tests for the purpose OF evolving the
institution which numbers in it's ranks
the so strongest men among American
colleges. This competition is unique
in intercollegiate rivalry, as the ath-
letes do not meet in a. actual contest
Of strength. Each university sends
to a committee the statistical records
of its so strongest men and to the col
lege whose athletes make the highest
total is awarded the intercollegiate
championship. y. .-.es.. I
The tests by which the strength Of
the men is measured were devised by
DIR. Dudley a. Sargent, Of Harvard.
There are seven tests, which respec-
lively record the strength of the back,
the legs, the right grip, the leftsgrip,
ability to dip, Z to push up and to
pull up, and finally the strength OF
lungs. =.s
At present Columbia holds the cham
.pionship and expects to increase the
total Of 5000 points made by her so
men last year.

BULL AND LION FIGHT
-.
Brutal Combat Given il Arena az
Juarez, Mex, Before Big Crowd.


The most bloody and brutal en-
counter between beasts ever seen ID
this section of the country took place
IN the bull ring at Juarez, Mexico, the
other day between q young Numidian
lion and q Salamanca bull. Three
thousand persons, principally Ameri-
cans, Witnessed the battle from the
{ grand stand which surrounds the huge
cage set up in the arena. 7.s s.
The fight lasted nearly an hour and
. was finally stopped by the Mexican au-
thorities, who admitted that their own
national sport Of bull lighting had
been outclassed in point Of brutality.
The bull was g splendid specimen
and was courageous in the extreme
From the beginning he recognized in
the lion deadly enemy, and attacked
the king OF beasts readily and with
great spirit. IS
The lion, which had been reared as a
pet, refused to fight at the outset, and
attempted to break through the bars
to seek refuge beside his keeper, who
stood without and pitilessly goaded
the beast with an iron bar, and poured
vitriol upon the lions body. Finally,
realizing that escape was hopeless, the
lion crouched for aspiring and launched
himself into the air, landing upon the
bulls back, and fastening his teeth in
the bovine's neck. His hold was in
secure and he was easily shaken off,
but the bull bled from number of
wounds. ~ ~ ~ -
The maddened bull attacked fiercely
after that, driving the lion into his
corner. and goring him repeatedly.
The lion retaliated by Selling the
bulls nose. He lost his held and the
bull gored him repeatedly, breaking
his leg and causing him to roar with
pain.
At this juncture, while the excite
ment was at it's height, the bugler em-
ployed by the mayor of Juarez, sound
ed call for the combat to cease, and,
the lion, more dead than alive, was
dragged from the arena. His wounds,
it is said, will prove fatal! she bull
was game to the last. A We: an ban
derilla, who was taking rim from the
arena, had narrow escape.

high that it cannot take the surplus
water of the swollen streams. and

NAY GET HIGH PLACE..
Herbert wiI Probably Be the Next
British Ambassador.
CHOICE OF TIE FOREIGN OFFICE.


London, May 81 Hon: Michael
Henry Herbert, who is nominally sec
retary.sto the British embassy at
Paris, probabl y be the next Brit
ish ambassador to the United States,
in successiont to the: late Lord Paunce-
fote. Mr.. Herbert appointment.W will
probably not be announced until the
remains Of Lord Pauncefote arrive in
England. The only question in regard
to Mr.. Herbert's selection is the APP
proval Of King Edward. It is under
stood that his majesty is taking a
keen personal interest in the matter
of Lord Pauncefote's successor, but
he will not be asked officially to con-
firm or disapprove the candidate Of
the foreign Office until the period of
time during which the government
pays@respect to the late Lord Paunce-
fote has elapsed. = T
Believe King VIII Not object.
While there is no reason to believe
that King Edward will object to, Mr..
Herbert, who has the official backing
of both English and American diplo-
mats, there must always remain an
element Of doubt in the matter until
the suggested appointment receives
the royal sanction, and especially in
viewaof the acute attention which his
majesty has given to this important
promotion. The matter of Mr.. Her
bert's going to Washington has been
still further complicated by the unex-
pected delay in sending over Lord
Pauncefote's remains. The British
government, officially, fully expected
Lord Pauncefote's body would arrive
in England prior to the coronation Of
King Edward, and it is not little dis
concerted by the receipt Of dispatches
announcing that the obsequies in Eng
land will not occur until July.
The determination to select Mr.. Her.
bert as ambassador to the United
States was reached after many consul
tations with those who are best fitted
to voice an opinion in the matter.
While nominally secretary to the
British embassy at.Paris, Mr.. Herbert
was really minister plenipotentiary to
France, and as such he frequently acted
in most important crises: in the alb
sence of Sir Edmund J. Monson, Great
Britain's ambassador there. s%
