TO REVOKE READINGS CHARTER.
Thompson Asks EIkin For PERMITS
sion to Use State In an
Action.

Philadelphia, Oct 10.-Frank H.
Thompson, Of this city, yesterday,
through counsel, forwarded to Attor-
ney General Elkin, at Harrisburg, a
petition asking permission to use the
name of the commonwealth in suit
against the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway company, to show cause why
the company's charter should not be
revoked. The ground on which the
suit is based is the alleged violation
Of the state constitution, article II.
section 5, which prohibits a carrying
company from engaging in mining.
The petition declares that the Read
ing Coal and Iron company and the
Temple Iron company and all their
coal lands, leased or decided, are
owned or controlled by the Reading
Railway company. 1t also charges
that the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway company has entered into an
unlawful combination to regulate
and fix the price of coal" with the
other so-called anthracite carrying
roads. The reading is also held &C.
countable in large measure for the
expense Of the anthracite miners
strike.
Suit was entered yesterday In the
United States circuit court by Mr..
Thompson, under the Sherman act,
all the principal coal carrying roads
being made responsible.

Wilkesbarre, Oct. lot was re-
ported here last night that there is a
movement on foot among the opeT-
ators to ask Governor Stone for more
assistance on the ground that the
state troops now in the field are not
sufficient to completely patrol the en-

request is sent and the governor
should grant it he would be compelled

Quiet About WiIkesbarre.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 10.-Thers
were no developments in the mine
workers strike in this valley yester'
day. The entire community remains
quiet and the troops had nothing more
to do than go through their daily
routine. The remaining commands OF
the Third brigade arrived in the Lack
awanna and Wyoming valleys and
were stationed at various points by
Brigadier General Goblin. After this
had been accomplished the general
and two members of his staff left for
Harrisburg and will return today.
Brigade headquarters have been es-
tablished acre.
Intense interest was manifested
yesterday In President Mitchell's visit
to New York. There were many ru-
mors afioat, and one to the effect that
a definite plan Of settlement had been
reached caused no little excitement
for a short period. Frequent in
quiries for news were made at head.
quarters by interested persons, but
no communication of any kind bear
ing on the strike was received there.
Last night the local newspapers were
posting bulletins as rapidly as news
was received from the metropolis.
The superintendent Of the coal COM
panies looked with indifference on the
settlement reports.
No Strong Move to Get Men Back.
It was announced by the superin-
tendent of the Mount Lookout col
liery of the Temple Coal and Iron
company. at Wyoming, that opera
tons were resumed at that colliery
yesterday. To what extent could not
be learned There was no great in
crease yesterday in the compare
lively small quantity Of coal that is
being produced. Coal company Off
Gals as a rule had nothing to say
beyond a statement that they are
holding their. own. No strong effort
has been made since the troops ar
rived to induce strikers to return to
the mines and it is not believed any
attempt will be made until the sol
diers get settled in their camps.

REFUSAL MADE BY MITCHELL.
His Letter to the President Declined
to Advise Men to Return
to Work

Washington, Oct. 10.-President
Mitchell, OF the coal miners union.
has refused to comply with the ap-
peal of President Roosevelt to call the
strike off, His letter. to the president,
which was made public at the White
House yesterday, says the RESPONSE
bility for the continuation Of the
strike should be placed upon those
who have refused arbitration.
Mr.. Mitchell states that he appre.
ciates the responsibility resting upon
the miners, but bearing in mind their
experience with the operators in the
past, and inasmuch as there is no law
to enforce the findings of the pro-
posed commission, he has to decline
to advise return to work simply on
the hope that the operators might be
induced or forced to comply with the
commissions recommendation.

The Outlook to make a tour
through several States for the pur-
pose of making and recording his
observations of religious life il Amer

detailed IN such unsectarian and Catholic
spirit as TO leave TIE reader in doubt as
to the denomination OF which the author
is an accredited minister. He visited many
OF our Southern States. and though his
stay in any one of them has been very
limited he improved the opportunity to
observe and inform himself from the best
sources of all denominations, and of re-
preventative men OF every popularity of

THE REFLECTIONS OF AALBRosINE.
BY Elinor Glyn, Author Of The Visits
Of Elizabeth" Published by Harper's,
New York. Price si.50 For sale by
the Bell Book and Stationery Company,
city NJ 5sa
1t is safe to predict that this work will
be equally as popular as The Visits of
Elizabeth by the same author, for none
can deny that it possesses a peculiar
charm of style. Indeed, Miss Glyn's man
ner of telling story is almost unique
and the vein of humor she displays adds
fascination to her other literary attrac-
tons
The reflections Of the heroine, a charm
ing girl of French extraction. who lives
in England with her grandmother; ap-
pear in the form of Journal or diary.
wherein she describes her adventures and
analyses her emotions. When the girl is
49, the venerable grandmother, who is
almost as attractive as A,nbrosine. dies.
and our heroine becomes the wife of a
boorish young millionaire Of plebeian eH-
traction. She does not love HMM fact,
finds his every movement repeliant-anC
forever keeps him at arms length. This
marriage, by the way. is entirely attri-
butable to the grandmother. who just be-
fore her death. commanded Ambrosine to
favor the suit of her odious lover. But
of course there is q real lover, tOO--a
sessed of a delicious voice, unlimited good
breeding, and many other virtues. 1t goes
without saying that the disaSreeable nus
band is ultimately gotten rid of, and that
we finally find AmbrOsine nesting in the
arms of the man of her hearts choice.
In short, we were about to say that the
novel ends satisfactorily, but upon re-
lection we recall a very ugly incident in
Antony's life, which is brought to light
quite unexpectedly. and for a moment
completely dissusts US 1t was, in our
opinion, unnecessary to introduce 1t. and
we wonder that AnbrOsine acted she
did when the secret leaked out.
1t would not be exactly fair to say
that this story is immoral or in any way
shocking, but we think there are things
in it which very young readers should
not see or understand. For example,
many instances of marital infidelity are
cited in the course Of the plot. and we
are introduced to several faithless wives
and husbands. And, if the truth must
be told. Ambrosine's own lover pays her
court while she is still married and be-
fore her disaSreeablc consort. Augustus
is conveniently killed by the measles
That there are such things in real life
and that Miss Glyn is nothing, if not
realistic, We do not deny. But is it ever
worth While to write about them? On
the whole, we think not, even though such
novels sometimes are exceedingly fasci-
mating.
