Anthracite Miners Are
Generally Returning
to Work.
COMPANIES UNFAIR
Take Advantage of Men
Which May Cause
Fresh Trouble.

Wilkesbarre, Oct 23.-There was a
general resumption of coal mining by
union miners throughout the entire
anthracite region this morning. Re
ports show about 81 per cent of the
mines in operation. The collieries in
the Lackawanna region are in better
shape for working than any other
part of the region. Those in the Wy
oming section with a small output
are in good shape, being free from
gas and water. but the large mines
are still hampered by water. The
same condition exists in the Lehigh
region. In the Schuylkill region the
mines are reported in better condi-
tion than expected.
All the mines in operation will be
short Of the normal output today,
but tomorrow it is expected almost
the full output will be reached. The
full quota of men could not be put to
work in many of the mines owing to
their dangerous condition. No fric-
tion is reported between the union
and non-union workers Many of the
old engineers, firemen, pumpmen, sta
blemen and fire bosses upon applying
for their old positions were informed
there were no vacancies at present
Some of the Men Refused Work.

nent part in the strike were refused
employment.

had no trouble in getting work, but
other employees holding good posi-
tions before the strike generally
found their places filled with other
men and the mine superintendent
said there would be no change for the
present. Mitchell advised the callers
to be patient and await developments
of the next few days.
Men Decline to Sign Agreement.
Hazleton, Pa, Oct. 23.-Only two of
the 2s coIlieries in the HazIeton dis
trict resumed operations today. Be
cause of high water or other condi-
tions no effort was made to start the
other colIieries. Some of them are
sure to resume before the end of the
week. The collieries of MarEIe & Co.,
at Jcddo. Highland OakdaIe and
Ebervale are in shape for resumption,
but only small number of men made |
application for their places and gave
their verbal assent to abide by the
decision of the arbitration commits |
sion as required by the notice posted
yesterday. John Markle announced
as soon as a sufficient number of men
comply with the notice work viii be
resumed.
None of the seven collieries of Coke
Bros. & Co. or Pardee & Co. resumed
because the foreman asked the men
to sign an agreement not to interfere
with non-union men under the penal
ty of discharge. The men had been
instructed by the union leaders not

to sign any agreements, and all re-
turned home.
CoIlIery Fire.
The Derringer colliery of Coke
Bros. is on fire and firemen have been
sent there to get it under control.
The fire originated, it is claimed,
through carelessness of the work
men, employed during the strike.
Troops were stationed at or neaI
most of the collieries this morning,
but no trouble of any kind occurred.

will abide by the decision of the arbi-

Shamokin, Pa, Oct. 23.-In reopen
ing the Alaska shaft, owned by the
Reading company, this morning, an
explosion of gas occurred as Robert
Kowneh and Aaron Freher walked
into the slope They were blown 20
feet and badly burned. The gas eX-
tended deeper into the mines and a
body of men began working the way
into the breasts, where five men are
thought to be imprisoned.
Trouble May Not BE Over Yet
Chicago, Oct. 23.-President Nor
ton, OF the International Association
of Stationary Engineers and Fire
men, stated today that all members
of the association all over the coun-
try would be ordered to refuse to
handle any anthracite coal until ev-
cry member affected by the anthra-
cite strike is reinstated on the basis
under which the miners returned to
work.
The brotherhood has membership
of $4,000, and has local unions in ia
towns and cities. President Morton
declared his organization was in a
position to shut out hard coal in all
cities where it had local unions.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. %. Rapid
progress is being made by all the coal
companies in the anthracite region to-
ward general resumption of coal min
ing. The suspension of mining official
ly ended at n. III. today, but the
week will not be great. 1t is not be-
lieyed % per cent. of the normal pro-
duction will be reached until some
time next week. There are number
of mines that will not be in condition
for operation for several months, and
there are others that will not be ready
for the men under two or three weeks.
Yesterday WAS devoted to a general in
spection at most cOllieries to see what
is needed in the way of repairs be-
fore the men can cut coal.
Six Months IdIeness Was Costly.
Every piece of machinery must be
gone over to see whether il is in fit
condition to be operated before the
fires in most mines can be started to
drive out the gas and other impurities
in the air. In great number of col
leries there will have to be much tim
bering done TO prevent ~squeeZes."
The nearly six months idleness has in
many instances rusted breaker ma
chinery which may cause some delay
in starting Notwithstanding the many
drawbacks the company officials are
confident here win be plenty of coal

Bill Arp's Advice to Boys.

It is an old saying that if a young man saves his first S1 ,O0O he will get rich--that is nine cases out of ten-yes, if he will save his first S100 he will succeed. and any young man can save that much in year if he will let whiskey, tobacco and society girls alone. Society will keep a poor young man poor. It keeps married folks poor. I am thinking now of a married man who is bowed with debt, and his family is trying to keep on the edge of society. A milliner makes their clothes and they are just obliged to ride in a carriage when they go out visiting. Such people are the talk of the town and don't know it. There are nice young men in every town who have been clerking for years and haven t laid up a dollar. They must take girl to every show that comes along and spend five dollars on every dance, for those who dance must pay the fiddler. Capital is very particular these days. When capital looks around for one who doesn't smoke drink or gamble-one who saves his money and don't run about at night. Family influence isn't worth a cent now. A young man stands on his own merits, his habits and his associations. Young man, there is a blue book in every town and your name is on it. But there is no excuse for young man failing to get em- ployment in this blessed country, if he does, it is his own fault. If he can't get rich fast he can slow. If he will begin young and work hard and behave he will accumu- late a plenty for his old age. Old age wants money. It wants rest and should haveit it. "Otium cam dignite" is the Latin for digni- fled leisure. But I heard Judge Underwood say it meant ''rest after digging" Old age don't want to get up on a cold winter morning and make the fire and cook the breakfast.

fact that the public taste and de. mand is for quality, regardless O the higher prices attached to the better quality. The inferior ano less desirable products are be- coming harder to dispose of in every market. l predict that each coming year will show Ben Davis more neglected by consum : CTS and a growing desire for finer fruit at good prices.
 At the recent apple growers convention here a great advocate of the Ben Davis said to the writer:
 What are good Ben Davis worth in this market today?"
 Two dollars a barrel"
 "How much are Winesaps worth ?''
 ''Three dollars"
 :" We'll, sir, at those figures can make more money raising the Ben Davis. .''
 Now, at first glance, this may look fairly we'll but let us analyze it. Figure out the cost of the two barrels for the Ben Davis, the picking and packing of both, the freight to market and drayage on the two, and see what a trifle re- suits in the way of net proceeds, and set it up against the net pro- ceeds of the one Winesap, and 1 think you will discover between the lines or figures the route to the poor house.
 However, let us approach the matter from another side, which cannot be avoided-that of cold storage, where nearly all must go. Here is S1.20 for drayage and storage, against 60 cents for the Winesap. Comparisons in this case may prove odious, but they will become more so when we substitute more desirable varie- ties than the Winesap as against the Ben Davis for the considera- tion of apple growers. The rail- roads, cooper shops and cold storage plants will become the principal beneficiaries of the Ben Davis craze. The fact that the Ben Davis may be worth only half as much as many other varieties is of no concern to these parties.

ON TO THE STATE CAPITAL.
St. l.. & N. A. Road Will SureIy
 Build To Little Rock.

The incorporation of the Leslie & Southern Railroad Go. at Little Rock a few days ago absolutely assures the building of the St Louis & North Arkansas railroad on to the state capital. The stockholders in the company are practically the same as those who own the St. l.. & N. A. read and the connection being made with the proposed terminus of this road is positive assurance of the relation of the two companies.
 The directors of the Leslie Gs Southern are as follows: Mai. P. K. Roots, Alex c. Hull, w. J. Terry, R. T. Cook, of Little Rock; Charles Gilbert, c. l.. Leslie, George L. Sands, St. Louis.
 The stockholders are: P. K. Roots, Alex c. Hull Robert E. Wait, w .sJ. Terry, J. T. Tillar, R. T. Cook, Little Rock, one share each; s. w. Lee, Harrison, one share; Charles Gilbert, St. Louis, 2,000 shares; c. l.. Leslie St. Louis, one share; George l.. Sands, of St. Louis, 392 shares. The capital stock is S3,O0O,000, the estimated cost of the pros posed road.
 Messrs. Gilbert, Leslie and Sands of St. Louis, who are the representatives of the capital back of the enterprise, attended. the meeting and all seemed very sanguine that the road is to be built during the coming year, and that the actual construction work will begin early in the spring. A meeting of the board of directors will be held soon for the purpose of electing officers and deciding upon further preliminaries.
 Charles Gilbert, who owns a majority of the stock, is the sec- retary of John Scullen, president of the St. Louis & North Arkan- sas railroad.
 At Leslie, it will join the St. l.. & N. A. and thence will run in general southerly direction through the counties of Searcy, Stone, Van Buren, Cleburne, White, Faulkner and Pulaski, to Little Rock, a 120 miles dis tance. The only county seat it will touch is Heber, Cle5urne coun- ty. The course down the wind ings of Red river from Leslie to Heoer is very crooked, and in a southeasterly direction. From Heber, the road turns slightly west of south, passing about ten miles east of Quitman. It was intended to touch Quitman, but this was found inpracticable. IL will pass near Cascade, Faulkner county, and near McAlmont in Pulaski county.

the Strains of Patriotic Music.

They are diminished in numbers, yet are
thev more dear; they are halt in step, but
with the pain Of that tread does our rever-
ence increase; they bear the weight of
years and the burden of hardship, but
these have not been in vain. The nation
looks fondly from the broad expanse of
forty-five states with single eye, a single
flag and a single heart-throb of pride and
reverence on the little band of hoary head

capital Of these states-the Grand Army of
the greatest republic in all the world.
The sentiment which thrills the heart of
the President of this republic is the same
that quickens the pulse of its lowliest
member. 1t is the highest sentiment that
can be felt in the human breast-the reali-
cation of free manhood; a spark of pride
that this principle has triumphed: thrill
at the military pageant, and that tender
regard for those who dared to do the thing
which makes US great. With this Is min
gled a sadness which comes unbidden-the
Grand Army of the Republic marches per-
haps for the last time in Washington to-
day. The thought that this is an epoch in
the nations history cannot be kept away.
How cheerful are their faces, how glad
their hearts. Though the ebbtide of life Is
even far spent, how the American manhood
manifests itself as the aged warriors once
again feel the Inspiration Of the bugle, the
fife and the drum. They are boys again.
Though they see in the faces of their COM
rades of long ago the marks Of time, they
do not feel 1t themselves. Though the pur-
suits of peace have long since superseded
the arts of war, they are still, in their
hearts, the nations volunteer army.
