Dunkirk, France, Oct. PA num-

day and the day before kept this city in
a state Of terror, returned to work this
morning, under the protection of strong
force of troops. An agreement between
the employers and some of the strikers
was arrived at last night, and these men
returned to work. Some of the more
obstinate, however. refused to agree to
the terms. The Governor, fearing more

BRAIN-FOOD NONSENSE

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent arthori-
ties. They have dispelled the silly
notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, another for muscles, and
still another for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish particular part of
the body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food NAV
be, its nutriment is destroyed by indi-
gestion or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses of Green's
August Flower, the fayorite medicine of
the healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to healthy
action, parifies the blood, and makes you
feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get

AIfnnso,s Diplomacy.

Madrid, Oct. "a. 1t is learned on the
highest authority that the Spanish
foreign minister recently interviewed in
the nick of time to prevent King Alfonso
sending the European powers a circular
that would have caused the greatest
diplomatic sensation of the century.
Pursuing his. passion for all things mill
tary, alfonso wrote personal letter to
the powers, stating that in the future he
would not tolerate the presence of foreign
officers at the army manoeuvres. The
foreign Minister before the letter had
been sent, obtained an audience with his
majesty and showed the latter how such
a letter would spoil all efforts on the part
of the government to maintain foreign
relations. Alfonso, thereupon, tore up
the letter, threw the pieces at the minis
ter, and yielded.
The appointment of the Jesuit Father
Coloma, as confessor to King Alfonso,
has been revoked. The reason for this
action is that Coloma declined to absolve
the king, who confessed to certain
amours, without his majesty doing pre-
paratory and severe penance.

THE ACTION of the coal operators in
determining to supply first retail dealers
in the different cities who did not put up
prices on their customers during the coal
famine is commendable. Reference has
heretofore been made in the Gazette to
the fact that Alexandria dealers refused
to take advantage of opportunities to
double profits on their stocks of coal
which were wanted in other cities, and
continued to furnish local customers
small quantities at about old prices.
Noble deeds, like truth, may be crushed
or temporarily obscured, but sooner or
later they will shine out, and the Alex
andria dealers will now be among the
first served by reason of their refusal to
take advantage of the necessities of their
fellow-citizens.

THE action OF J. Edward Addicks in
refusing to withdraw from the Senate
contest so that an extra session OF the
Delaware legislature could be held and
the two vacancies in the U. s. Senate
from that State be filled has practically
turned the State over to the democrats
again. The divided republican party
cannot win against united democracy.
After years of struggling to escape from
republican misrule the State is about to
come back to her old love when hope for
republican success was claimed to be the
brightest. Since 1896 Addicks has kept
the Delaware republicans from electing
two Senators. He could not be elected
himself and would not allow the honor
to be bestowed upon any one else.
This year he stands a smaller chance
than he did two years ago. The two re-
publican factions, the regulars and union,
are bitter, and in some of the districts
there are two republican candidates.
The result will be that the democrats
will carry what have for some time been
republican strongholds. If the demo-
Gratis control the legislature the proba-
bility is that Willard Salisbury and
former Senator r. K. Kenney will be
elected to the United States Senate. So
mote il be.

COAL.

In view of the resumption of mining
of anthracite coal the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Company last night
issued the following statement:
The reports of the superintendent in
charge of the mines show that, rs a
result OF the strike, the mines and min
ing plants have sustained considerable
Injury, and their respective working or
CARNATIONS have been impaired. For
sometime to come the collieries cannot
be worked to produce their average
quantity of coal. This will increase the
cost of production Estimates have
been submitted showing the probable
increase i'll cost per ton az the several
groups of colIieries. The general
average exceeds so cents per ton.
You will, therefore, add to the circu-
lar price 80 cents per ton-this addition
al price to continue until the first of Jan
uary, 1903, by which time we hope to
reach normal condition of mining and
production.
Notwithstanding the fact that during
the strike no coal was sold by our COM
pany at an advance over the circular
price, the price has been unreasonably
advanced to the public by some retail
dealers. In the distribution of the coal,
therefore, you will, so far as practicable,
supply the dealers who are willing to sell
coal to the public at reasonable prices.
Where dealers seek to obtain an unfair
profit from the public you will promptly
take steps to supply the reasonable de-
mands of the public directly. Yours
truly,
GEO. +. BAER, President.
An effort will be made to arrange. the
distribution of coal so that parties in
need may at least receive a small portion
of their wants, and with this purpose in
view, dealers will be requested to re-
strict the amount which will, for the
present, be sold to any consumer within
the limits of his reasonable immediate
The opinion is expressed by Mr.. Hen
derson that the prices for white ash egg,

pressed a willingness to comply with the
wishes of the Reading Company in this
respect, and Mr. Henderson has 10
doubt that practically all of them will
heed the request, and charge only rel-
sonable prices to the public

EVERY MEMBER of q labor union in

enjoined by the Common Pleas Court
from boycotting certain restaurant
keeper who is charged with employing
non-union walters. Pickets had been
distributing cards near the restaurant
which were designed to urge people not
to enter the place. The case, it is said,
will be carried by the labor unions to a
higher court. The boycott is foreign
innovation and has never hourished in
the United States. In many instances
people who have been boycOtted have,
in a pecuniary sense, been benefited
more than injured, as many buyers other
wise uninterested in them have espoused
their cause Should such system ever
become a recognized factor in the world
it would be impossible for any one to
conduct business, as certain members of
unions can always find something upon
which to make an issue.

Company announces advances of so and
30 cents ton. The reasons for these
increases are set forth in letter from

panies, to General Manager Henderson,

elsewhere. The action of the coal COM
panies might have been expected and
the public, who will have to pay for the
losses, may be congratulated that the
advance in prices has not been more,
but the question naturally ARISES, How
will the miners, who lost $50, 600, 900 in
wages ever make their loss good?

that she was compelled to hurriedly
change cars at Wilmington and that IN
her hurry she had not time to gather up
her baggage and make the change, and
thus lost her sacque. She made claim
against the railroad company for its
value, but payment was refused. Such

trayed in the blood and thunder novels
which they exchanged. Search of his

KING ALFONSO of Spain has had a
rupture with his confessor because the
latter refused to absolve him from the
consequences of some of his breaches OF
the moral law of God and man. The
confessor insisted on the king perform
ing satisfactory penace. This he re-
fused to do; hence the rupture, and the
confessor has been relieved of his posi-
ton as Alfonso's spiritual advisor. No
doubt the confessor breathes easier at
being freed from the unbridled, mex
perienced. beardless and thoughtless
potentate. But little can be said in
extenuation of the acts of king who
makes himself subject to the reprimands
of those whose duty it is to keep
espionage over his spiritual welfare.
Young and irresponsible persons, or a
great majority of them, imagine they
should SOW wild oats Many find them
selves harrassed throughout life in gath
ering the crop. A king, however, sup
posed to be the exemplar of a country
as well as its ruler, should act in such
a manner as to enjoy conscience devoid
of offense toward God and man. The
young Castilian has much to learn.
We read of the successor of Solomon
