BAER OBJECTS TO Mr.. MITCHELL

Washington, Oct. 29.-The anthra;
cite strike commission yesterday In
the hearing of the interstate COM
merce commission held its first con-
ference with the parties to the anthra-
cite controversy. There was repre-
sentation of both operators and min
ers, and members of the press and
numerous other persons were present,
The seats available were filled by
members Of the strike and interstate
commerce commissions, Justice Gray,
as chairman, occupying the center and
Messrs. Clark and Wright the seats to
the right of him in the order named,
Bishop Spalding and Mr.. Parker sat on
the left in the order named. The con-
ference took about two hours time,
and was given up entirely to discus
sion of the time and method OF pro,
ceeding with the proposed investiga-
ton.
The commission decided to begin it's
work next Thursday morning at 9
O'Clock, the first days of the investi-
cation to be devoted to a physical ex-
animation of the mines and homes Of
the miners, starting in the vicinity
of Scranton. The anthracite field
will be covered.
Mitchell Hands In Papers.
During the progress Of the meeting
Mr.. Mitchell, as the representative OF
the miners, presented copy OF the
original declaration of the miners as
forwarded by the Shamokin conven-
ton, as the basis of the demands OF
the miners: This demand is first, for
an increase of 20 per cent in wages,
of those not engaged by the day; Sec
ond, a reduction of 20 per cent In
working hours of those engaged by
the day; third, the payment for coal
miners by weight at minimum rate
of so cents per ton of 2,240 pounds;
fourth, a wage agreement between the
operators and miners for an adjust:
ment of wages.
Mr.. Baer, on the part OF the coal
operators, took exception to Mr..
Mitchell's appearance before the com.
mission as a representative of the
mineworkers' union, but said he had
no objection to his presence as rep
resentative Of the strikers in an indi'
vidual capacity.
The commission made no attempt to
settle the point, but it was apparent
the question of recognition of the
union would be an important and
knotty point to the arbitrators.

CRANKY CLERGYMAN
Objected to Erection of Stand Around


OBJECTED to ERECTION OF Stand Around
Church.
London, Oct. 29.-George Martin, a
clergyman, was remanded at the South
wark police court, charged with hav-
ing pound of gunpowder in his pos
session with felonious intentions. The
arrested clergyman proved to be re-
ligious enthusiast who objected to the
erection of q stand around st. Georges
church in the borough and who pur-
chased a small quantity of gunpowder,
insufficient to do real damage. He will
probably be placed in an asylum.

OVERLOOKED.
There Are Patent Medicines and
Remedies Without Number.
For Every Disease and Affection BUT
One.

A nrominent physician was recently
sked why it was that there are SO
many ,"blood purifiers" nerve tones
ana remedies for every i'll, except one
of the most common and annoying w.
niles He replied, there are TWO
nr;ncinal reasons. First. physicians
and npople in general. have tnoughl
that the only permanent cure for pies
was a surgical operation, that nneoiel-
nal preparations were. simply pahaei'e'
Another reason is, that piles Is III ho
sense of the word an imaginary dis-
ease: the sufferer from piles Is very
much aware of the fact, and for tnis
reason. the few so-called pile saves,
oirtments. ETC., have been short-nVed.
Tho natient very soon discovered their
inefEiciency. .aM
He saws. further, fortunately. how
ever there is a new remedy for pies
which Judging from it's rapidly growine
popularity. will soon take the place OF
all other treatment; it has certainly
made astonishing cures in this oDsti-
nate disease and it's merit has made II
| famous among physicians and wher-
ever il has been introduced. This rem
edy Is sold by ell druggists under the
na me of Pyramid Pile Cure.
| From the immediate relief which the
Pyramid Pile Cure gives in all forms
OF piles. many physicians supposed II
, contained opium, cocaine or some SIM
lar substance. but upon ANALYSIS II
was found to be perfectly free from
anything Of the kind, and that the in
slant relief and cure which follows Its
use is rather the result Of its rem. ark
able healing, soothing action on thu
parts affected.
| The Pyramid Pile Cure Is the onl. !,
fremedy, except a surgical operation.
which Immediately relieves and per-
manently cures every form of piles.
1t is sold by druggists at 50 cents and
81. or by mail from Pyramid Drug Co.

.Hoyt's "a Texas Steer"


Charles H. Hoyt,s "A Texas Steer"
which comes to the Opera House on
Friday evening. Feb, 81. for an en-
gagement of one night only. Is unques-
tionably the best Of the many bright
comedies from the pen of the clever
author of "A Temperance Town "A
Milk White Flag" and other plays
which have afforded millions OF the
theatergoers amusement during the
past ten years.
"A Texas Steer" will always be
welcome visitor. 1t is as distinct and
different from the so-called farce
comedy as one could wish. 1t Is true
that it is comedy. farcical in it's ma
ture, but it has a plot story or suf-
ficient strength to carry the interest
from the beginning to the end OF the
play There has been no sacrifice OF
that peculiar faculty Of caricature
and comical run to exaggeration that
has heretofore distinguished Mr.
Hoyt's work, but these features have
been modified by associations with
incidents and suggestions of serious
order, SO that "A Texas Steer Is
quite as amusing as other works OF Its
author, when it undertakes to amuse
and yet it occupies a higher plane
then the others. A considerable por-
ton OF the piece belongs to real COM
| edy. The prologue is a scene In
Texas. being especially well drawn II
this line. 1t is decidedly a bright piece
Of writing, not the less humorous ant
hearty, for being keenly satirical a
times. The seat sale will open to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock and als'

Skowhegan, submitted his annual re-
port for the year ending Feb H. 1902,
from which the following abstract is
taken:
The directors voted not to let the
driving of the logs, as they thought it
best for the company to make the drive
this year. The logs had been driven
under contract for SO many years that
there was very little wangan which be-
longed to the company, this necessi-
tated the purchase of nearly every
thing.
There was four piers built at Big
Brassua to hold the RATS while turn
ing out the logs. Six new gates were put
into Long Pond dam SO as to increase
the vent. as in very high water there
vas not vent enough, the north wing
was repaired and the dam filled with
rock.
The debt has been reduced $1225.56
after making all these improvements
and repairs, and is now $9533.19.
Expenses of driving amounted to
$S337.21. Repairs and improvements on
piers, gates, boats. etc, cost $374S.9O.
The assessment for driving aggre-
gated $13,151.59. The total cut was 3d.
O99, 729 in 190O-1901 and 100000 was left
back. Assessment was therefore made
on 30699, 729. The driving was from
Moose river bridge, Parlin stream and
Brassua to the lake. The tax from
Moose river bridge was 60 cents; from
Parlin stream 40 cents, and from Bras
sua 81 cents. The Great Northern Pa
per Co. and the Hollingsworth & Whit
ney Co. each had 100000 left back. The
following schedule shows the total
drive and the amount assessed against
the several operators:

DR.. A. G. Young in the Sanitary In
srector has the following to say about
rummage sales:
The State Board of Health has never
made any rules or issued instructions
to local boards Of health relative to
rummage sales. l would say, however,
that the persons who have the man.
agement of rummage sales should be
very careful to assure themselves that
articles offered for sale do not come
from houses in which there have been
cases of consumption, diphtheria, scar
let fever, or other contagious diseases.
or that the articles coming from such
houses have been thoroughly disinfect-
ed In 4 way which is satisfactory to
the local board Of health. Persons Civ
ing away, lending, selling, or exposing
bedding, clothing, or other articles like
ly to convey certain infectious diseases
are subject to the penalty prescribed in
Section &c of Chapter 1913 of the laws of
1881"

las | understand the matter there
was no appropriation made Tor WORK
dome in the year 1901. Nor was 1t the
Intention OF the committee or OF the
LEGISLATURE to have the law take effect
until 1902 At the time the bill was be-
ing considered / talked with Mr.
STAPLES of York and Mr.. Moulton of
South Portland who were members OF
the committee in regard to II ana
they understood that no appropriation
was to be made for last years work.
To grant State aid for the improve
ment of roads was comparatively new
idea. and the committee felt that it
would be well to make small appro-
priation as an experiment. This was
done and it was made to become opera
tive during the present year"
