FACTS s FICTION

Every girl wants to marry. She
is thoroughly satisfied that man
is necessary to the proper devel-
opment of a woman's life. Her
ideal usually is man with clas-
sical features, and the frame of
an Achilles. He must be brave,
yet gentle a Chesterfield in man.
ners, a Dewey in penetration, a
Winston Church in ambition. In
thought and speech he must be
as unsullied as Schiller or
Goethe; withall he must be
strong and brave-a lion among
men, a knight among ladies. But
for fear she might die an old
maid she will take most any lath
framed youth with mouse colored
hair and bat winged ears that
comes along, with a coffin nail
cigarette that smells worse than
a burning rubber boot, and thus
waste her precious life trying to
love one she never admired.

RAILROAD Superintendent
Claims That President Mitchell Did Not
Tell the Whole Truth.

Wilkesbarre, "a, June 3D.
The seventh week of the anthra.
cite coal strike has begun very
quietly. Interest centered today
in President Mltchell's address
to the public. Groups of men
gathered in places in the mining
towns and listened while one of
their number read aloud the ad-
dress of their chief.
Independent operators and su-
|perintendents were interviewed
on President Mitchell's address
to the public. None of the Off
cials seen would permit his name
to be used, and there is no one in
the region who Is authorized to
make a statement or give an
opinion for the big coal compa-
nies. Such official statements or
interviews can come only from
the presidents of the big compa-
nies in New York or Philadel-
phia. One superintendent, whose
views were similar to the others,
said:
president Mitchell touched
on only one of the four demands
made by his union, and that one
was on the question of wages.
He did not say anything on the
uniform wage scale, the weigh
ing of coal at all mines or the
recognition of the union. These
are vital points on which the
companies are making a strong
stand. Regarding his claim that
the productive capacity of the
mine workers is increasing rath-
er than decreasing, we do not
know where he gets his figures.
The statistics for last year have
not yet been completed, and the
companies have thus far been
unable to determine that ques-
tion. In speaking of the alleg-
ed exorbitant freight rates on
hard coal, Mr.. Mitchell failed to
state that the cost of loading an
thracite coal is much greater
than the handling of soft coal.
"The assertion that the miner
does not get paid for all the coal
he mines is not true. The miner
is paid for 2,240 pound ton, and
he has to send to the surface ON
an average of 2,700 to 5000
pounds of coal, slate and other
impurities to get the ton of pure
coal. Only about 10 percent of
the coal production is paid for
by weight, the other 80 percent
being paid by measure. Atten-
tion should be called to the fact
that Mr.. Mitchell, In speaking of
last years prosperity in coal
mining, quoted only the Della.
ware and Lackawanna and West
ern annual report. That COM
pany only had an exceptionally
good year because of peculiar
conditions about its mines. The
reports of other companies tell
an entirely different story, to
which Mr.. Mitchell makes no
reference"
There were no developments
in the bituminous phrase of the
coal strike today. News from
the West as to how the miners
there stand is eagerly awaited.
There is still much speculation
as to what the special national
convention will do. One of the
district officers here said today
he was of the opinion if the sup
ply of soft coal should be cur
tailed to a certain point the
proposition to call a general
strike will not be pressed.
The rumors that the coal COM
panies expected break in the
ranks of the men are not borne
out by the actions of the men.
AS far as is known none of the
companies in this region is at
tempting to resume mining.
The union is unable to make
any headway with the new men
brought here to take the strik-
ers' places.

IN AND ABOUT THE COURTS
FIGHT FOR THE B EISEY BRADLEY
 MONEY.
" VIII Case-Refore the Supreme Court
 Pleas and City Courts


 of Errors-Matters in the Common
 Pleas and City Courts
 The Betsey Bradley will case, involv. ing $1,000,000, was argued before the su- preme court of errors yesterday by as brilliant an. array of counsel as has ever been in case in this city in years They are Judge Henry Stoddard and Judge A. Heaton Robertson, represent ing the Eliot and Forbes interests while the Ladies' Seamen's Friend so- ciey and St. Paul's church are repre- sented by Watrous & Day and Williams & Hartman.
 Judge Robertson in opening his argu- N ment threw an interesting light upon the question by showing that the testa- trix was eighty years old when she exe- cuted the will. He said the court should consider that charity begins at home instead of in Q would-be charitable as, sociation.
 The facts in this case are most in- teresting, and the legal fight between the grandnieces and brother on one side against St. Paul's church and the Seamer's Bethel on the other for the $1,000,000 is the greatest of this years cases.
 Mrs. Betsey Bradley Forbes, who lived in the second house from Tomlin- son bridge on the East Haven side, which had been known from early col onial days as the Forbes homestead, when eighty years old, seven months and nine days before her death in 1888, executed will by the terms of which life use of her estate, then valued at about $40U000, was given her brother, J0sephus Forbes. Upon his death one- third was to go to the Seamens Bethel and tWo-thirds to St. PaulS church. One-third of the St. Paul's beduest was given for the purpose of establishing a home for the aged and infirm persons connected with St. Paul's church, and the other third was to establish a mis- sion church at the Forbes homestead. B Josephus Forbes died in 1899. Dr. Gustavus Eliot married Miss Forbes, who died, leaving three minor children, and he as executor of his wife's will for his children, and Alfred Forbes, the only other relative, took this appeal, which went to the supreme court upon a reservation.
