A Syracuse man tells story of Nine
Janauschek when she was a prominent
star, says the Chicago Record Herald.
The willy advance agent went to SYRIA
cuse a week or so before the local
theater opened there for the season
and proceeded to fill up the guileless
newspaper men with the statement that
Janauschek had said that she would
open her season in that place or not at
all. Her manager wanted Chicago, but
offered to compromise on Boston or
Philadelphia, but the madame was
firm.
Naturally, Syracuse was delighted at
the honor. Janauschek got pages of
advance notices. and when the opening
night came the theater was packed as
never before.
After the first act an ambitious re-
porter went behind" to interview Nine
Janauschek
Syracuse feels very proud that you
have started here this season. he said.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Washington Post Qnd.) says:
The valued Philadelphia Press is not
worrying over the stuffed registration
lists in that town. The Press is sup
porting the ticket that will receive the
benefit of the stufting, and is looking
Southwark for its election horrors"
The Hartford Comm Times (Dem.)
says: while we do not expect to see
the coal strike much prolonged it will
probably last as long as there are poll
iticians who are anxious to intervene
between the strikers and the mine OPP
orators. When that era has passed
we shall begin to get some anthracite
coal. Election day comes on Nov. T."
The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says:
Certain Northern educational 'ex-
perts have been recently asserting
that education given by public schools
in the South is at a Standstill, or even
retrogressive, and proposed to take it
in hand in a patronizing way. Such
persons cannot but be shocked with
the record of the last census on this
point The last census shows that the
percentage of Southern children from
ten to fourteen who can read and write
has increased in the last decade by an
average advance Of seven per cent,
anu III LOulSldDds dSOTSld ana north
and South Carolina by nearly ten per
cent. Hence it follows that the public
schools of the South are vastly more
efficient than they have been repre-
sented to be-"
The Philadelphia Record Oem.)
says: THE coal strike as an abnormal
and unnatural phenomenon must SOON
er or later come to an end; and then
the reproach of the absurd resolution
of the Democratic State Convention
of New York to nationaliZe the anthra-
cite coal lands of Pennsylvania will
still remain. AS a plea for this vio-
lent departure from Democratic prin-
ciples to embrace State Socialism it is
SAID that anthracite coal is a necessity
and should not, therefore, be made an
object of monopoly. There are regions
in which other necessaries of living
predominant in production, but that is
no reason why the general government
should take possession of them.
Throughout its history the Democrat
ic party has set its face like flint
against the laundering interference of
government with the business of the
people and has made its hostility to
State Socialism good more than once
by oVerthrowing the favoritism of
protective tariffs; but this resolution of
New York in its extreme reaction
against the spirit Of individualism pro-
poses to set the general government up
in the anthracite coal trade, without
a dream, apparently, on the part of its
authors of the extravagant cost, not
to say impracticability of such an
undertaking."

What She said.

From the Baltimore American.
Her scarlet lips were parted,
To show the pearls beneath
The white and cleaning jewels
That should be termed her teeth,
Her eyes were brown and blazing,
And glowing with her wrath,
And stern she stood before me
To bar me from the path.
Her eyes, I say, were blazing
n flaming. burning. brown
Her brows crept sternly downward
TO emphasize her frown.
Her feet-so 1.-THE and little
Seemed scarce to touch the walk
AS tense she stood before me,
My onward way to balk.
Her slender neck was throbbing
With rage and pent-up ire;
Her nose a bit tip-tilted-
Her very pose was dire.
And so l rushed around her,
Without excuse or bow,
And then the angry doggie
Said "Bow-wow- WOW wow wowl"

New Name for the C. E.'s,

Little Elsie was a faithful attendant
at Sunday-school, and had listened
earnestly when plans for a coming
Christian EndeaVor convention were
discussed, her interest increasing to en-
thusiasm over the mysterious affair
when she learned that her auntie was
to attend as a delegate. Coming into
the library one day, auntie saw the
little maid busily engaged in writing a
letter to a cousin with whom she kept
up a Juvenile correspondence, accord
ing to Harper's Magazine. She scrawl-
ed industriously for a moment, then
stopped. There was a puzzled express
sion on her fat ink-stained face, as she
dangled her short legs and wiggled un-
comfortably on her high perch. "Aun-
tie" she said, how do you spell
'devir?" ooh, Elsie!" said her auntie.
II am shocked. Why are you using
such a word as this in your letter :?
Nice little girls never say such
thingsl" 1t was Elsie's turn to be
shocked. why, auntiel" she cried
I'm only telling her about the Chris
tan and devil convention"

THE PRESIDENTS OFFER TO
MITCHELL.

Mr.. Mitchell the president of the
United Mine Workers. refuses to say
whether or not he regards with favor
the President proposition. namely.
that If the strikers viii return to
work he viii appoint a commission to
investigate the issues raised by them,
and recommend legislation by Congress
in harmony with the commissions re-
port If Mr. Mitchell views this prop
osition with favor he viii Of course
recommend that the strike be declared
off, but will he so view it? 1t is doubt
full. 1t is only a promise, and al
though the President would undoubt-
eddy carry out his part of the agree
ment faithfully, there is no assurance
that Congress could or would do any
thing to better the material condition
of the miners. The strikers believe
they have the best Of the situation just
at present. The demand for coal is
increasing all the time. Factories are
stopping because they are out Of fuel,
gas works and water works are al
most out of it, and it is becoming ap-
soon many cities will be without light
and water. Attention has been called
a number of times to the pitiable con-
dition of families that depend upon
hard coal for fuel. Most of them have
none and the rapid approach of winter
is making them uneasy.
All these things combined make the
situation. But can they themselves
hold out much longer? It is reported
from some sections of the anthracite
district that many of the mine workers
are hard pressed by hunger. There is
suffering among the miners as we'll as
among the people of the cities.
1t will be known in a day or so
whether Mr.. Mitchell will accept the
Presidents proposition. If he does
there will be an immense wave of SYM
pathy for the strikers. If he does not
it is probable that the most deter
mined efforts will be made to operate
the mines The ordering out of the
National Guard Of Pennsylvania by the
Governor of that state indicates that
such a course will be pursued. If the
militia of the state cannot maintain
order then doubtless the Governor will
call upon the general government for
assistance. Evidently there is a pur-
pose to operate the mines in the near
future or at least to make a determined
effort to do so.
If it We're not for the stand taken
by Mr.. Mitchell. namely, that the rec
ignition of the United Mine Workers
Union must precede any attempt at
arbitration, it is not improbable that
an arrangement for arbitration might
be brought about, but the coal opera
tors seem willing to abandon the mines
before they will recognize the union,
The President. has the approval of the
entire country in his efforts to end the
strike, with the exception, perhaps, of
those who want to direct the Presi-
dents action and are not permitted
to do so.

SOME FOLKS HAPPY.

In the midst of discussions of plans
for bringing about a settlement of the
coal strike. and thus ending a situa-
ton which threatens to become a great
calamity, the President finds time to
tell some negro politicians from the
South that he does not approve the
action of white Republicans in Ala
bama and North Carolina who shut
negro delegations out of the regular
Republican conventions of those states.
The President also told these visiting
politicians that he would not dis
criminate against the negroes of the
Republican party-that is, in the South
i'm making appointments to offices.
OF course these negro politicians
were very happy over this announce
ment by the President. They believe
they still have chance to get a share
of the offices in their respective states.
No doubt the President was sincere in
telling them what he did. but If the
black Republicans haze no votes prac-
tically in Louisiana, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, North Carolina and South Car
DINA it is a safe proposition that they
will not cut much of a figure in the
presidential appointments in those
states, even under the Roosevelt ad-
ministration. If the whites succeed
in building up a respectable white Re
publican party in the states in which
the blacks have been disfranchised,
they will manage to control the offices.
We don't blame the black folks, of
course, for trying to get a share of
the spoils of office, but the fact that
delegation Of them takes the matter
up at this time, when the President is
burdened with this strike matter,
shows what persistent Office seekers
they are

Personal.

There is a movement on foot to
erect a monument on the outer point
of Cape Cod to commemorate the
adoption IF the pilgrim compact of
government The pilgrim compact was
probably the earliest charter of q
democratic government adopted by the
people known to the world. A rugged
obelisk, 200 feet in hight, placed upon
an eminence on the outermost point OF
Cape Cod, where all passing and re-
passing at sea may see it, will be, it
is thought, a fitting memorial of such
Landmark of history.
Prof. Dewar, who is forever seek
ing absolute zero, is so years old. He
achieved liquid oxygen fifteen or six
teen years ago. In 1897, with the as
sistance of NJ. Moissar, he liquefied
tuorine and conducted a beautiful Sc
ries of experiments at Christmas at
the royal institution. In 1898 he at
tackled and conquered hydrogen, ex-
hibiting it as liquid, and helium is
another of his conquests. He is not
only frost specialist, for he has done
terrible things in the other direction,
helping the late Sir Frederick Abel to
invent cordite and other smokeless
powders.

CATARRH OF THE STOM-
ACH.
A Pleasant, simple, But Safe and
and EnectuaI Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long
been considered the next thing to in
durable. The usual symptoms are a
full or bloating sensation after eating,
accompanied sometimes with sour or
watery risings, a formation of gases,
causing pressure on the heart and
lungs and difficult breathing, head
aches. tickle appetite, nervousness and
a general played out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the inte-
rior of the stomach could be seen it
would show a shiny, infiamed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and OBJ
stinate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure a prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do. and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap
peared.
Accordini to Dr.Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after
each meal a tablet, composed of Dias-
tase. Aseptic Pepsin, a little NuX,
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name of Stuart's
dyspepsia IdDlClSs anu not DGlil5 d
patent medicine can be used with per-
feet safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will
follow their regular use after meals.
Mr.. r. S. Workman, Chicago, ILL.,,
writes: "Catarrh is a local condition
resulting from a neglected cold in the
head, whereby the lining membrane of
the nose becomes inflamed and the
poisonous discharge therefrom passing
backward into the throat reaches the
stomach, this producing catarrh of the
stomach. Medical authorities pre-
scribed for me three years for catarrh
of stomach without cure, but to-day I
am the happiest of men after using
only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets 1 cannot find appropriate
words to express my good feeling. l
have found flesh, appetite and sound
rest from their use"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
safest preparation as well as the simp-
lest and most convenient remedy for
any form of Indigestion. Catarrh of
stomach, biliousness, sour stomach,
heart burn and bloating after meals.

M0RGAN'S COAL.

When the announcement was made
that Mr.. J. p Morgan had arranged
to bring 10000 tons of coal from Eng
land to New York for the benefit of
the poor of that city it seemed to be
the understanding of some of the news
papers that the coal was to be a gift
TO the poor. In one of the papers it
was announced that this splendid char
ity would cost Mr.. Morgan fully $780,
200, and in many papers much was
said in his praise.
1t seems that it is not Mr.. Nor
gan's purpose to import $4,000 tons of
coal from England and give it to the
poor of New York. 1t is his purpose
to import the coal and sell it. 1t is
to be said to his credit, however that
he isn't going into the coal business
that is, he will not undertake to make
a profit on the $4,000 tons he imports.
He will sell 1t at exactly what it costs
him to lay it down on the wharves of
New York.
In view of the fact that anthracite
coal is now selling at an enormous
price in New York, Mr.. Morgan's ac-
ton cannot be regarded otherwise than
as charitable one. The coal he will
bring will be offered to the public, in
all probability, at about $40 a ton. 1t
may be that the price will be a little
above that, since there has been a no.
ticeable increase in the price of coal
in England since the demand from
this country became so great.
If the coal which Mr.. Morgan is to
import should be offered at auction on
its arrival in New York it is probable
1t would bring several dollars a ton
more than its actual cost.
The New York market is practically
bare of anthracite coal Mr.. Morgan's
contribution will go but a short way
towards supplying the demand. The
consumption of coal in that city, when
everything is in a normal condition.
is about 10000 tons a day. 1t will be
seen therefore that the $4,000 tons,
which Mr.. Morgan is importing will
not be sufficient for one days supply.
1t will do an immense amount of good,
however. if its distribution is confined
to the poor. AT present, in New York,
coal sufficient to cook a dinner costs
almost as much as the dinner.

SOME EFFECTS OF THE STRIKE.

Here are a few side issues of, and
expressions concerning, the coal strike:
The president of a leading fire insur-
ance company says rates of insurance
will probably have to be raised because
of the increased use of kerosene for
cooking owing to the scarcity and high
prices of coal. The demand for kero-
sene-burning stoves has recently been
unprecedented and is likely to be larg-
err If the strike continues. In Bing-
hamton, N. Y, the other day a young
man told his sweetheart that their
wedding would have to be postponed
until spring if the price of coal did
not take a drop MEANWHILE; that his
salary was not large enough for house
keeping with coal at SIS a ton. The dis
appointed girl took poison and died.
a church in Washington, expressed in
his sermon on Sunday the conviction
that sin was the cause of the coal
strike. II believe" he said that the
present condition is the natural out
come of our nation, in the midst of
recognize this prosperity as coming
from the hand of God. and failing to
bring back a 1.-THE of the prosperity to
the storehouse of God This view
seems to overlook the fact that those
who will suffer most by the coal famine
are not the most prosperous but the
very poor, for whom the Rev. Mr.. Nc
Leod will be willing to affirm God has
a very tender solicitude. Gov. Stone
of Pennsylvania was asked the other
day if he thought the striking miners
wanted to go back to work but were
afraid of personal violence. 1T is my
opinion" he replied, that the strik-
ing miners would not go back to work
If each miner had soldier strapped
to him to protect him.
