Love and bamboo In Java.

The young shoots of the bamboo are
covered with a number of very fine
hairs that are seen, under the micro
scope, to be hollow and spiked like
bayonets. These hairs are commonly
called bamboo poison by the white
men resident in Java; for the reason
that murder is frequently committed
through their agency. When a Javan-
ese woman takes fancy to Euro
pean she will either have him or poi
son him if she gets the chance. She
seeks any and every opportunity of
mixing these infnitesimaI hairs
among his food, and they serve the
purpose of irritating the whole length
of the a1imentary canal and setting
up malignant dysentery. 1t may take
a long time and many doses of this So
called poison to effect the purpose, but
the native woman does not tire and
death will surely result. The male ma
tive will also try this method of re-
venge for an affront.-Japan Mail.

JUST CAUSE DEFINED

Important Communication Sent to the
Commissioners by the President.
Washington, Aug 29.-President
Roosevelt has set at rest the agitation
of those who have been exercised over
the intended meaning of the term
'sjust cause" in dismissals under the
civil service rules, in a communication
ITO the civil service commission. The
Interpretation given the clause in the
rules which accomplished the retire
ment of Miss Rebecca J. Taylor for
criticising the operations in the Philip
pines and of Lorenzo Warfield for his
connection with a racing scheme, is
given to the commission in the follow
ing language:
sFor the purpose of preventing all
misunderstanding and improper con-
struction of said section, it Is hereby
declared that the term just cause as
used in section 8, civil service rule 2,
is intended to mean any cause, other
than one merely political or religious,
which will promote the efficiency of
the service. and nothing contained in
said rule shall be construed to require
| the examination of witnesses or any
| trial or hearing, except in the discretion
! of the officer making the removal" 2
AS the president is the fountain head
Of the civil service rule, this declara
| tion has the force OF a new law, and is
J of equal force and effect with all the
other rules.

WAITING FOR LABOR DAY.
United Mine Workers Officers Think
1t Will Benefit Them.


Indianapolis, Ind, Aug 29.-The Off
GERS of the United Mine Workers be-
lieve Labor day will be Of great benefit
to them. They have received word
that at many places, especially in the
mining region, the pending mining
strikes will be made very prominent
and collections are to be taken to as
.sist the miners. They expect that
large sums of money will be forth
coming to them from these collections.
The national officers of the organi-
zation have not taken any steps to
push their affairs on the various Labor
day committees in charge of the cele-
brations over the country, as they do
not wish to monopolize the exercises.
However, they say, owing to the
prominence of the anthracite strike by
which more than 100000 people are af-
fected, it will be impossible to dwell
at any length on affairs of labor with
out speaking of the strike. AS it has
been endorsed by the American FEEDER
alton of Labor and BY many of the
leading labor unions individually the
cause of the miners must of necessity
be helped, the officers think. Even at
places where no collections are to be
taken for the miners the officers Of the
organization believe the recital of their
grivances will result in stirring up con-
triDutions.

A Rope for Mark Twain.

The Missouri papers are telling this
story of Mark Twain's recent visit
to the state: A big crowd gathered
at a railway STATION to meet him. A
little boy knew that somebody was
coming, but he did not know Mark
Twain from Bessie Francis. This kid
perched himself on top of a freight
car, where he could see what hap
pened. The train rolled in, and as
Mark stepped off the people became
excited and shouted: Here he isl
Here he is!' The kid on the box car
thought great criminal had been
caught, and shouted: Git a rope!
Git rope" DR.. Clemens laughed til
the tears ran out of his eyes.-N. Y,

MILITARY RIDE CONDEMNED.
English Press Declares 1t Was Useless
Cruelty to Horses.

A@SSAeeA
Cruelty to Horses.
London, Aug 29.-The military ride
from Brussels to- Ostend, in which
three horses WeFe ridden to death and
several others until they fell from ex-
haustion, has evoked strong condem-
nation from the English press. The
cruelty practised upon She animals
was not. it is declared, balanced by
any benefit that was or could possibly
be attained. A similar view Is ex-
pressed In Brussels. The French
lieutenant, Madamet, who won the
race, attributes his success to the care
full training Of his animal for the spe-
cial purpose of the race. During the
ride he occasionally dismounted and
walked for about a hundred yards,
washing the horse from time to time,
but gave him no food or drink. 1t is
now announced that Lieutenant NADIA
NETS horse did not die. The animal
is quite well, and the lieutenant In
tends to ride it in Saturdays cross
country run. Lieutenant Madamet
denied the charges that he used his
horse cruelty. It is asserted that the
competition showed, S first, that the
winning horses were those which had
been well trained; second, that horses
will run without slackening their speed
until they reach a point within a few
yards of where they drop from sheer
exhaustion; third, that the maximum
of what a horse can develop at full
speed is sixty-five miles a day. 1t is
noteworthy that Emperor William for
bade any officer of the German army
taking part in the competition. 1t Is
stated that he regarded it as a useless
experiment.

ones with the cups are far preferable

committee considered all right for

operate them, but they didn't think
those what was wanted in places where

ACTIVITY IN COAL REGIONS.
Several Washeries Said To Be
In Full Operation.

Coal is Being Shipped Daily-Ine
Pennsylvania Railroad Had 6o,ooo
Tons in Storage Which Has All Been
Sold-The Reading Co Has Not Sold
Any Coal Since the Strike Was In
augurateds
Philadelphia, Aug 9.-While mine op-
orators and officials of the United Mine
Workers say that the strike situation
in the anthracite field remains un-
changed, it is evident that there is
greater activity at present in the coal
region than at any time since the in
auguration of the strike. Coal is
daily being shipped from various sec
tions of the field, and several washer
les are known to be in operation.
1t does not follow, however, that
any of the companies are cutting coal.
When the strike was declared large
quantity of cut coal was left beneath
the surface, ready for the breaker. Ac-
cording to miners union officials it is
this coal that is now being brought to
the surface by the special deputies,
foremen and others employed about
the collieries during the progress of
the strike. 1t is also said that the big
coal carrying companies are now draw
ing on their reserve supply to satisfy
the more pressing demands.
The Pennsylvania railroad, through
its selling agents, has been selling and
shipping small quantities of coal al
most daily since the strike began, Sc
curing its supplies from some 10000
tons in storage. This supply has been
exhausted, however, and what little
coal the company is now sending out
comes from the mines of the Susque-
hanna Coal Co at Nanticoke, where
small quantities are being brought TO
the surface and Sent to market daily.
The Reading company, according to
its sales agents, has not sold any coal
since the strike was inaugurated. ex-
cept in d few exceptional cases. On
the other hand, reports from the
SchuylkiH region, where the Reading
company's mines are, say that the ship
ments of anthracite from that section
are daily increasing. The washeries
established along the Schuylkill river
| in northern Berks and lower Scnuylkill
counties are in operation night and
day, and as high as 100 cars are ship
ped in a day.
What is considered significant move
on the part of the operators is the re-
turn of many mules from pasture to
the mines.

PATRICK EGAN RESIGNS
Opposes Clan-ha-GaeIs Attitude To
ward the Movement in Ireland.


ward the Movement in Ireland.
Chicago, Aug 29.Patrick Egan,
former United States minister to Chile
and one of the veterans of the Clan
na-Gael, has resigned from the organ
ization, in letter recently written, in
which he denounces vigorously the re-
Iatfon of the Clan-na-Gael to the pres
ent movement in Ireland under the
leadership of John Redmond and car
ried on by the United Irish league.
Mr. Egan's letter has been made pub
lie and has caused sensation in Irish
circles because Of the prominence of
the writer and the great following he
has built up. At one time he was
president Of the Land league In Ameri-
ca and was also the treasurer of the
league in Ireland. The direct cause
of this resignation was that at the re-
cent convention OF the Clan-na Gael
that organization, despite his protests,
determined to oppose the United Irish
leagfue.
