The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-09-07

The slaves, it is true, remained in bond
age; but there was no pushing middle
class.
Such nation had everything to lose
when IT'S independence was at stake;
for the amenities of life meant every
thing to the Pole. Not even Casimir
the Great was able to do much for the
serfs; but the vast body of the mobiles
really governed the land, and the crown
was practically elective, long before
twas declared to be such in fact. 1t
is not easy to decide whether we should
call Poland kingdom or republic.
A people literally educated nurtured
in lofty sentiment, and trained IN the
spirit and the art of war would natu-
rally be found formidable in conflict.
1t was fortunate indeed for Europe
that such a barrier existed, to- ward off
the savage incursions of. the Russian
and Turkish hordes.
The ancient city of Cracow was the
most famous capital Of Poland, and
was thes seat of government for five
centuries, closing with 1909. Its royal
castles, or palace, is said to date from
the year 700. Though it has been pars
tally, DESTROYED at various times, it
has been always rebuilt, and is now
used as barracks for the Austrian SOL
diers. The castle is built on the Wa
wei Hill, by the Vistula river, and is
full of legends of the half mythical
DAYS of old, when the Piasts and the
Jagiellos reigned.
Evidently this is the scene of Cali
derou's great drama, in the Spanish,

having his name appear in the con-
stellations Of heaven; and every pupil
who studies astronomy learns of so
bieslzi's Shield" of shining stars. With
but 10000 men, this hero once defeated
an army of 100000.
In this old cathedral is buried Ko-
sciusko, familiar to every American
school boy. Who does not re ,all with
thrill the immortal lines Of Campbell:
Hope for the season bade the world fare
well;
And Freedom shrieked as Kosciusko fell"
Here also lies Poniatowski, of whom
our grandmothers all read in the old
historical novel, ''Thaudeus Of Warsaw"
Here are the bones of st. Stanislas, in
a silver coffin. Here sleeps more than
one great Boleslas and Sigismond of
ancient days.
Warsaw was the last capital Of Po-
land; but though the seat of govern
ment was removed hither = in 1909,
Cracow remained the center of the
national sentiment. Here the kings
were crowned and here they were
buried.
Even after Poland had been crush
ed by the wickedist coalition of des-
pots in all history, and it's territory
parceled out among the robber ma
tons, old Cracow, and a small terri
tory surrounding 1t. were left free to
represent the ancient realm. AS late
as 1847, when the gallant Poles made
their last uprising in the cause of ma
tional. independence and sunity, .Cracow
remained with q showing Of freedom.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1902-09-07

1t had all to lose and nothing to gain
by joining in the uprising, but the
old Polish spirit counted nothing of
cost, and Cracow cast its lot with the
.rest-and lost.
Warsaw is near the famous Plain of
VIOLA, where the Polish kings were
elected by the assembled mobiles, often
amid scenes of violence and blood
shed. It is claimed by the Poles that
one of their countrymen, Jahaun
Scolaus, discovered America before
Columbus did. The date assigned to
the discovery is 1916. The claim is
generally accepted by critics.
The word Polonaise French for the
adjective Polish) is familiar in the
world of fashion and of music. Polon-
aise gowns are graceful in pattern,
and Polonaise airs are never dull.
Varsovienne is another word fam
iliar to lovers of good music. 1t is
formed from the word Warsaw and
has reference to that proud city.
Pulaski is Polish name which is
dear to Americans, being coupled with
that of our own Washington in our
revolutionary history. Pulaski's Ban
ner" is the subject of beautiful little
poem by Longfellow.
It is not surprising that the Poles
regard with horror the overthrow of
their proud and elegant people by the
ignorant and barbarous Russians of a
century ago, and that they look with
disdain upon their rude conquerors,
as coarse and inferior. Nor is it
strange that they cling to the Ian

which is slightly altered from Bassello.
The latter is an anagram of the IA
nous name of Boleslas, which was
borne by several noted Polish kings.
In the old city of Cracow is the an
cient university of Poland, together
with the grand old cathedral. 1t is as
tonishing how many names are here
to be found that are familiar to Amer
leans. of today. In this cathedral IS
buried Copegnicus, who first taught
that the earth revolves about the sun.
He was the son of merchant of Graz
COW. Here Is buried John Sobieski,
who saved Europe from the Turks IN
1855, when he appeared on the kaien
Hill at Vienna, on that fateful morning
when civilization and Christianity were
at stake, and scattered the vast army
of MOSlems at the moment of their an
ticipated triumph. Like an angel sent
down from Heaven he seemed to the
despalring Christians. After mis- Won

by German missionaries; and for a
time it formed a part of the German
empire, which was known as the Holy
Roman empire" though it was neither
holy nor Roman.
The Piast family and the Jagiello
family ruled in turn, and developed
great statesmen and warriors. Poland
was the barrier of Europe against the
Asiatic barbarism of the Russian
hordes.
Poland was an aristocracy, but its
aristocrats were so numerous that al.
most everybody, except the very slaves,
was a noble. Such a nobility was never
seen before mol. since, The fact thsstt
the great body of the people was noble
did not vulgarize their rank. Poland
became the land of letters and of pIen-
ty: Greedy commercialism was un-
known. Higher education was diffused
as nowhere else in Europe. Elegance
of manners, courage and chivalry,
physical culture, and universal piety
characterized the Poles as people.

guage and traditions of their vanish
ed nation. In the portion of Poland
assigned to Prussia in the dismember-
ment, the Poles have refused to be-
come assinjlated with the Germans.
In fact the Germans who have settled
among them have become transformed
into Poles almost to man.
While there is now no likelihood of
a restoration of the Poles as a nation,
there is, on the other hand, little in
dication of their disappearance as a
people. They will long continue to be,
disturbing factor in European poll
tics, and their history will remain un-
rivaled in interest and pathos as a.
sublime tragedy on an international
scale.

Poland is not found upon

Is numbered with the great

nations of the past. Yet
TODAY there are millions of Poles occu-

there are millions of others, scattered
abroad over the earth, who take pride
in claiming a descent from the gallant

The history of Poland is unlike that
of any other nation that ever existed
Singular in it's political constitution,
peculiar in its social organization, and
almost alone in it's tragic fate, Po-

midnight June 18th and resulted
in killing four members of the
train crew. The dead are as follows:
George Carey, engineer, James A.
Ferguson, fireman; Francis Clark,
conductor; George E. Rounds, brake
man. The direct cause of the accident
was the washing out by torrent OF
water down the embankment of a
hole one hundred feet wide and thirty
| feet deep in big fill, into which the
| big engine and eight cars we're pre-
cipitated, the remainder of the train oil
forty-two cars staying on the track
The engineer and fireman were buried
underneath the wreckage. The con-
| ductor aud brakeman were somewhere
on the first eight cars and their bodies
were found on top of the wreckage
Henry Larry, the only member of the
train crew who was not killed, was ir
the caboose at the time the accident
occurred. Without knowing just wha
had occurred, he made his way back
to Middlesex where he went to the
home of the station agent, and reused
him and was able to send out wore

Roanoke, Va, June 7-According to
advices received by the Norfolk and
Western Railway, which controls the out
put of the Pocahontas coal fields ten
mines closed down in the Pocahontas dis
trict today 1t is estimated that about
800 men are out on strike. Other mines
are crippled and only working with re-
duced force. The miners of the Tug
gina side have struck. Several thousand
men are employed in Theses fields The
Norfolk and Western officials say they
do not consider the strike in their ter
ritory to be of a serious nature and ex-
pect that the operations now tied up will
resume work within ten days. Coal is
being loaded in the fields today, but the
shipments are not up to the average num-
Der of cars. Mother" Jones, the fa-
nous Pennsylvania strike agitator is on
the ground urging the men to quit work
and stay out until their demands are
granted.
Officials of the Norfolk and Western
claim that thirty mines in the Pocahontas
fields are in operation today with re-
duced force The Clinch Valley and
Thacker fields, they say. are working as
usual
j. c. Rawn. chief engineer of the
Pocahontas Coal and Coke Company,
with headquarters at Bramwell. W. Va,
arrived here today. When he left the
fields last night there was no demon
stration of any kind among the miners,
no buying of guns or drilling, or anything
to show that the struggle was on, eX-
cept that the men were leaving the
mines with their tools showing that they
had quit. Still others were buying blast
ing powder and few were having their
tools sharpened as though they meant to
continue work
A special tonight from Bluefield, w.
Va, to the Roanoke Times, says that
about sixty per cent of the miners in
the Flat Top field went out today:
seventy five men went out at o'clock
at Pocahontas and others are expected
to quit tonight. One or two men are said
to have been killed in the Pocahontas
fields today. but beyond the bare state
ment that one or two lives had been lost,
no particulars are given. 1t is expected
that rs per cent of those on strike will
return to work by the middle of next
week, and but little trouble is anticipated.
A special to the Times from Pocahon-
tas tonight says about fifty miners went
out at that place today, and that in the
other mines in that field three fourths
of the men are out. So far no disturb
ances have been reported and hundreds
of the strikers are leaving the fields this
evening.

DURHAM MAKES UGLY CHARGE.
Protests Charlotte's Games For Violation o
Salary Contract Rule.

The strength of Charlotte's ball team
is known by all.
Game after game has fallen easily in
to the percentage column of the Hornets.
How Charlotte could gather such an
aggregation of players within the salary
limit in force in the North Carolina
League has been the wonder of all who
have studied the question.
Now comes Durham and alleges that
Charlotte has violated the compact made
and that its team is costing more than
the amount stipulated for each club.
Durham has not merely talked this. but
has laid a formal charge before Presi-
dent Busbee, Of the League, and pro-
tests all the games that Charlotte has
played with Durham.
IF Durham wins the protests it will
not only cause Charlotte to forfeit all Of
it's games played with Durham, but also
all with every other club.
1t is a serious charge, and President
Busbee will call meeting of the execu-
tive committee this week to consider the
charges which the Durham management
has made.
The North Carolina League is a mem
Der of "Class d. of the Association of
Professional Baseball Clubs. When the
State League was organized each club
was notified that the salary limit Of each
month for all players, not including the
manager, must not exceed $500, and that
for each player $75.0G a month must be
the maximum.
If the Charlotte management has gone
beyond this amount the games they have
won will have to be forfeited to the
clubs with which they have played.
Street talk in Raleigh had it while the
team was here that Lehman was getting
1925 a month: Person, $f00; Cooper,
Weaver and rmstrong, $4,000 to $10U
each and Bishop, the big pitcher, over
$12E a month. Ashenback, the captain
and manager stated that he was getting
$3.50 month, while outside talk cred
tied him with 5000. All this is rumor,
and no one here has proof of it.
The fight before the executive commit.
tee is apt to be a hot one, as Durham
must have some inside information, or
it would not have made the direct
charge
The result of the meeting will be
awaited with deep concern by all inter-
ested in baseball in the State. If Char
lotte has gone beyond the limit the clubs
that have kept inside have just cause
of complaint.
