ENGINEERS, FIREMEN AND PUMP
MEN WILL AID MINERS.

Which Votes Were Taken-The
Men Not Unanimous.

Addresses were made by John Fallon,
member of the national board of United
Mine Workers, Henry Collins and d. j.
Reese, members of the executive board.
The speakers impressed upon their hearers
the necessity of standing together in the
contest now on with the operators. A reso-
luton indorsing the strike order of the ex-
ecutive board, calling out the engineers,
firemen and pumpmen, was adopted by a
vote of. BIS to 81. The result was received
with cheers. Representatives of the coal
companies doubt the correctness of the
vote. They claim there were not that
many men at the meeting, and that an
overwhelming number of those present
were firemen. The coal operators still in
sist that a majority of the engineers will
not desert their posts on Monday.
The committee of engineers from the
Lackawanna region who came to this city
to have President Mitchell and the execu-
tive committee rescind the strike order
calling out the engineers, fremen and
pumpmen, returned to their homes to-
night, when they learned that President
Mitchell would not reach here until late to-
morrow. All hope of having the strike or
der rescinded has now been given up.

attended by over one hundred engineers,
pumpmen and firemen employed at the
eight collieries of the New York, Ontario
& Western Company, held here to-day. the

Nebraska's Debt and Debt Limit.

Fifteen years ago Nebraska's State debt
amounted TO less than $3.50. 900. To-day il
exceeds 100000. In other words during
the last fifteen years the State debt has
increased at the rate of 500. 900 a year not
withstanding the express provision OF the
Constitution that limits the Indebtedness
of the State to 100000. II goes without
saying that the State debt could have been
wiped out long ago II the railroads had
ceen compelled to pay their full share of
the State taxes.

marriage is becoming rarer, the prospect of
remaining mere Emma Smith through
lifetime of, perhaps, ninety years, with
forty or more Emma Smiths in the same
city is not agreeable.
These same considerations are leading 10
the more frequent use of the hyphen. This
has always been employed more or less in
cases where a large fortune or great fame
descended from the maternal side. On many
accounts it is desirable that the custom
should be extended. Women become con-
stantly more important in the economic
order. They have their college, club and
philanthropic interests. and often wide
circle of friends, before their marriage.
They naturally desire that their children
and the children of their old friends should
know each other as such; but instances are
not infrequent of young men and women in
college. whose mothers were intimate In
early life, yet whose change Of name at
marriage has completely sunk their identity
out of sight. This Is unfortunate, and II
would be largely obviated if the names Of
the father and mother should be combined
in the child's name.
Thus, if Helen Julia Barrows married
John Fish ElmOre, their son might properly
be known as Henry Barrows-Elmore. As
Henry Elmore" the old friends of Helen
Barrows would not connect him with her;
but the 'BarrOws" might lead TO inquiries
and thus TO discovery.

Care of Mahogany Furniture.

Good Housekeeping.
Kerosene was not successful, and turpen-
tine required too much rubbing and even
then was not satisfactory for the carved
parts. So we tried little piece with a So
luton of two heaping tablespoonful of sal
soda to a quart of warm water, put on
with a tooth brush well soaped, the place
being Immediately rinsed with cold water
and dried with a soft cloth.
Since then have used it on several
woods, natural and stained, and, homely as
the recipe may sound, it has never failed
to give good results.
Afterward the wood should be rubbed
with a mixture of raw oil and turpentine.
One mahogany antique-a hundred years
or more old-that was so discolored TO
hide the natural grain of the wood came
out as bright as new under this treatment
The secret of success lies, we think, in
cleaning only a small piece at time, and
in doing the work rapidly.

that, when one of his men was sent for to

he asked for a basin of warm water and

grand could do quite well, said the arti-
