AZ 8 o'clock Companies X and e were
placed on two trolley cars. One OF the
cars was run In front OF the car which
the other In the rear.
While passing through Coaldale and
Lansford the soldiers were hooted, but as
no stop was made the strikers did not
make any violent demonstration.
HELD AT BAY.
At Summit Hill about double the usual
number OF men availe: themselves OF the
protection of the soldiers and went to
work. The pickets OF the strikers made
efforts to stop them, but the warnings OF
the soldiers held them at bay. When the
workmen had been loaded on the car the
return trip through the valley COM
menced. The word that more men than
usual were reporting for work spread
through the lower part of the valley like
wiidffre and In short time the streets
were almost blocked WITH people.
When the corner OF Center and East
Bertsch streets was reached the cars
stopped 10 allow several non-union men
to get of AZ the men stepped to the
ground the mob made o rush for them. A
half dozen soldiers sprang OF the car
and with leveled guns. forced the strikers
back and made passage way for the
non-union men.
IN UGLY MOOD
When the soldiers returned after escort
ing their charges to a place OF safety the
mob commenced to close In around the
cars. The strikers were In an ugly mood
and when ordered 70 disperse merely
yelled louder and pressed closer. As
Capt. Helm OF Co. X was about to Jump
from the car he was seized around the
legs and thrown to the ground. A half
dozen privates who followed him were
roughly handled.
Major Gearheart who was In command
Of the two compa MES, then ordered his
men 20 disembark.
With dubbed guns and fixed bayonets
the soldiers forced the crowd back. Many
OF the strikers stood their ground and
would not move until the soldiers jabbed
them with their bayonets. Some OF the
strikers fearing that the troops would
Are, rushed into the opera house on the
corner and for a time a wild scene OF
confusion reigned. In about FIVE minutes
the crowd had been pushed back TO tho
curb line. Several OF the strikers were
Knocked down while others suffered slight
bayonet wounds. Captain Helm was Sc
vereiy bruised by his fall.
Last night car load OF timber which
was standing on the Lehigh Coal and

capable, it could not take care of such a number.
 The East Lake institution should be enlarged until 1t will hold all the boy offenders of the state under the age of sixteen. The state can well afford to do this. for every boy turned into good citizen is a handsome gain to the state. It is much better to com nit a boy under sixteen years of age to the reformatory than 1t is to send him to the coal mines. for in the for mer case he stands a good chance to become a good citizen. where as in the other case he is certain to become a criminal who will prey upon the state whenever he Is out of the peniten- tiary. Many boys can be reclaimed at East Lake, and the grand jury very appeals for an enlargement of this excehent institution.

Samuel Gompers is a wise conserva- tive and successful labor leader, as every one knows and he Is an accomplished speaker as we'll" said professional man who listened to his address Tuesday night.
 As rule our best writers and ora tors are men who have had early advant- ages of education, but MT. Gompers is entirely self-made man, who struggled hard for a livelihood in his youth and early manhood, and who mastered good English style by burning the midnight oil. Few men of the learned professions have such a command of language or have such a faculty of choosing just the right word as MT. Gompers. And above all this command of good English he is consumed with desire to help his fel- low man and with the idea that the cause which he espouses is just With these points in his favor Gompers could not help being an effective speaker"

Reoistration in December.

The registration books are now closed, but in the third week in De cember they will be reopened, when they will stay open a whole week. But when they are closed in December they will never again be reopened. The temporary plan of suffrage passes into history on January 1, and the registration under it will be perfected in the third week in December.
 Those who have not secured regis tration certificates for life should ap- ply for them in the third week in De- cember. It will be the last oppor- tunity to secure them readily and con- yeniently, and every descendant of an old soldier who has not obtained a certificate should remember the De- cember week in which the lists will be reopened.
 Registration under the permanent plan will be very rigid, and only those who can read and write or hold tax able property wortn $500 can then be registered. There will be no laxity. no elasticity, no accommodation under the permanent plan of suffrage. The ballot of the long future will be con fined to the literates and property holders. Those who cannot meet these conditions should paste in their hats the dates in December when registra- ton is not confined to property and educational qualifications.

A GIANT GUN.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 The biggest gun in the world will come floating down the Hudson from Water vliet next month bound for Sandy Hook Without its carriage 1t weighs IS tons 26O,0OO pounds. It will use 1000 pounds of powder at discharge to send twenty one miles a shell weighing 237O pounds A company of soldiers could use it for breastworks if it lay flat on the ground. for it Is more than forty-nine feet long and is fifty inches in diameter at the breech.
 This gun has cost about s13000O in the making. Transportation will add s54O0. And even now 1t may not stand the tests If it does 1t will become one of forty giants for our coast defense.
 Of course this monster cannon repre- sents the highest development of the steel-maker's craft. But to what end Is a marvel of modern accomplishment here directed? In effect. to nothing greater than a tremendous magnifying of the club with which primeval man knocked down an intruder upon his premises. We have to reach further than he did-if we reach at ail-and hit harder
 Under the conditions it is a part of discretion to have the club ready. But the hope that 1t need never be used in earnest is as patriotic as it is humane.

TO REDUCE coNoREssMEN.
Postmaster General IntImates That
 Action VIII Be Taken.

Washington Special to New York Times.
 Postmaster General Payne, political manager of the administration and the gressional representation of the southern states, is out in an interview denying that the President will recommend his plan to congress, but intimating strongly that action is to be taken either by con- gress or by the next republican conven- ton.
 MT. Payne intimated that congress would be expected to do it's work without prompting of any kind. With regard to the probable success of his plan for a re- duced southern representation he said:
 T have no doubt that the National con- vention will seriously consider the ques- tion of a change of the basis of repre- sentation by delegations. The whole question will hinge on this: There are 12O votes in the Republican National con ventioh from states in the south which do not poll as many republican votes as are cast in Minnesota. Minnesota under the new census, has only twenty delegates in the convention. Now here is an aggregate number of votes from one section to nominate a man for the Presidenley which does not represent as many republicans as are situated in this single state in the north. Yet that sec- tion in the convention is six times as strong as the one state. I ask, is that fair? answer by saying mo-
 T think there ought to be a change of basis. Tho change should be made so as to regulate the matetr as 1t Is regulated in local conventions in all of the states. In the states the basis of representation is the humber of votes cast. There can be no valid objection to the states them selves establishing the precedent We who look at the subject in this light, therefore. do not ask anything unrea- sonable. should like to see some action taken on this subject in 1904"
 With regard to the Presidents action concerning the attempt to build up a white republican organization in the south MT. Payne said: "The action of the President in removing Collector of Inter nal Revenue Bingham of Alabama a few days ago was not taken with any idea of building up a white mans party, a black mans party, a yellow mans party, or any other sort of mans party in the south; in fact, it had no bearing on this quSstion. The President aimed to mete out justice to those who in his opinion have not been participating fairly in cer- tain political affairs. The removal means that republicans, not only of the south, but everywhere, are not to be encouraged in assuming an attitude calculated to de- prive qualified electors from the exercise of their political rights and participation in affairs growing out of those rights"

Thanksgiving.


 Our national Thanksgiving day is coming to be almost as generally observ- ed in the south as Christmas, although the November holiday is accompanied by less noise than the 18th of December" remarked a merchant. "A few years ago big family dinner with turkey was the principal feature of Thanksgiving. Many churches were open. but only compar- atlvely few of those who were in the habit of attending Sunday services were seen in the pews. Now the majority of church people assemble in places of worship on Thanksgiving Busin .ss is sus- pended about as much as on Sunday. The poor and needy are remembered al- most as much as they are on Christmas. Certain 1t Is, on this Thanksgiving day. most of us have much for which to be thankful. The nation, the state of Alabama and the city of Birmingham has each prospered as never before and the majority of individuals will remem- Der the year 1902 as one of singular joy and progress"

The Public Library.

Perhaps no institution in Birmingham, outside of the hospitals and orphanages, better deserves support than the public library" said a busy man who takes an interest in education.
 Some people seem to be under the im- pression that the library is maintained, in whole or fin part, by the city. But the fact is the city contributes nothing for books and nothing for maintenance. Since the library is crowded out of the high school building the board of alder men provides quarters for 1t in the city hall This is a great help, to be sure, but the library Is kept up altogether by pri vate means. It is conducted under tho auspices of the board of education. and Superintendent Phillips gives it his watchful care
 ''The library needs replenishing. It should be supplied with thousands of new volumes. Men of large means would do well to subscribe to the book fund, and people of moderate means can help by paying for life memberships, while those of small means can also help by becom- ing members on the payment of annual dues. A life membership costs only S25 and annual membership dues have been reduced from $25O to s2.
 The reading room Is open to the public regardless of membership dues, but there Is scarcely a person who frequents the reading room and reads the papers and magazines but can afford the payment of g a year. which entities the member to the use of the books"

HERR KRUPP's DEMISE.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 In the death of Herr Friedrich Alfred Krupp of Essen, Germany has lost an en- terprising, successful and wealthy citizen, the third of a line of distinguished cap tains of industry. Herr Krupp had greatly Increased the productive capacity of the steel plant and works left him by his father and had become the proprietor of mines. railroads, towns, castles and villas, aggregating s125OO0,00O in value. His position was that of an industrial po- tentate, exceeding our Carnegie in the va- rietv of his interests and In his influence, if not in millions of money. This posses sion of all that the heart could wish did not. however give him good health or urotect him from malicious newspapers. To the vexation produced by an unfound- ed islander published in socialist paper his sudden death is, in fact. supposed to have been due For some time past his health had been bad. The multitude Of his enterprises, breeding a multitude of cares had doubtless wrecked his nervous system. with the result of making him susceptible to worries which man more robust and less preoccupied would have easiiy withstood. The moral Is the old one. that extreme wealth brings excessive care, and that for the average man moderate competence is best.

ALABAMA AT ST. LOUIS.

From the Mobile Register.
 There Is prospects that Alabama will be well represented at the St. Louis fair. There is no state in the union that would profit more by an adequate exhibit. for there Is no state that can make such an exhibit as we can and at the same time hold out such induce ments to outsiders to come here and prosper The St. Louis fair Is to be most valuable for our purposes. The loca- ton of 1t is assurance that the south will be there in respectable shape. Peo- pie from all over the country will go thither to study what the south has to offer. The fair will afford them bet ter opportunity to do this than would a long journey by rail or water through the south itself. Surely, Alabama will be put forward in ample and attractive exhibition at this congress of the sciences. arts and industries of the United States.
