II looks blue for . settlement of the
anthracite miners strike. President
Baer of the Reading railroad gives the
side Of the mine owners in a concise
and straightforward way. He said I;
"You cannot arbitrste question Of
wages when an increase will destroy
the business and decrease will be I'M
acceptable to the workmen. We can
not arbitrate a question as to whether
mining operation and business gener-
ally shall be managed under the COM
mon sense rule of law and equity, by
the owners and the servants they have
selected, or by labor organization.
You cannot arbitrate the right 10 pro-
tect your property and your workmen
from the mob rule of labor organiza-
tions, who boldly proclaim a purpose
to destroy property and endesvor to
make their proclamation effective by
killing and injurlng their fellow
workmen who refuse to join in their
lawlessness. When John Mitchell or
dered the engineers, firemen and
pumpmen to desert their posts he
knew that unless the operators could
supply their places the mines would be
destroyed, and with their destruction
lao, 900 men, with their wives and
children dependent upon their labor,
would be deprived of work for long
time"

by a desire to secure the best possible
rates for the people of Paducah, went
before the local boards and stated that
if certain improvements were obtained
and the license made as reasonable as
il is in other cities the rates would be
reduced. The aldermen declined to
do either, so If the rates are boosted
up on account of the things the boards
refuse to do the people will know who
is responsible for it. 1t is claimed
that the refusal to make the changes
asked will require the people who
have insurance to pay $1,000 more
than they otherwise would.

Most persons have an idea that Rear
Admiral Robley d. Evans acquired his
nickname of Fighting Bob" from
some gallant service in the navy. A
naval officer who was a cadet at An
napolis when Evans became a cadet
tells this story OF how he came 10 be
thus christened: Along In 1859 and
1860 there was a saloonkeeper named
Robert ID. Evans. who continually got
drunk. Every time this happened. and
1t was several times a week. FIVE or
six policemen had 10 be called to carry
the drunken chap 10 jail. and he was
dubbed Fighting Bob. So the minute
cadet appeared bearing the name OF
r. d. Evans. the nickname was applied
TO him. Brother officers Of the rear ad-
miral say that he got the luckiest nick
name on record"

1t is doubtless very unpleasant for

to fight il out if 1t took all summer,
or half dozen summers. The worst

Two shipments have been received
by the Y. NJ. O. A. management and
two are to follow, and it is thought
that by the middle Of the next week
the association will have been placed
in perfect condition.
1--WE will open even sooner than we
expected" Secretary Hanna said this
morning, "if the weather continues
cool, and the gymnasium will be in
condition within few days. We have
received most Of the new equipment
ordered for it, and will have il set up
when the last shipment is received
and ready for the classes. Mr.. Mathis
thinks that he will be able to start the
class work by the middle Of the month
and will do so If the weather con-
tinues favorable"

psrtment has not yet been completely
formed, but the following names are
announced; Prof. p. N. Peck, Of
Washington, d. O., who is here to
open up a private school at the sssocis-

B. wearen, bookkeeper at Baker and
Eccles wholesale grocery, will teach
bookkeeping. There is one more
teacher to secure and Secretary Hanna
has not yet filed the vacancy.
Mr.. will Watson has been appointed
collector for the association

The MEUSCHAUM INDUSTRY.
WHERE IN TURKEY THE MINES
ARE LOCATED.

The British foreign Office has issued
q report upon the meerschaum mining
industry Of Constantinople. This pro-
duct, which is extensively utilized for
the manufacture of pipes, is aim ost en-
tirely confined to Turkey. The meer-
schaum can be mined by any person at
Sari-sou, Sepetdje Gheikli and Men
lou, on payment Of FIVE pias to the ad-
ministration OF mines-the cost Of a
permit. The mines at Sari-sou are
situated at a distance of about seven
teen miles TO the east Of Eskichehir.
The pit at Sari-sou was opened twenty
years ago, but today there are s, 900
mines opened, of which, however,
only 1000 are worked, the remainder
having been abandoned. Some 4, 900
miners work these mines, and every
Friday . market is held at which they
dispose of the blocks of meerschaum
they have extracted during the week.
For the accommodation of the work
men some 1000 huts have been erect
cd.
AT Sepetdje, about eighteen miles to
the northeast Of Eskichehir, there are
some 10000 pits in a space Of six
miles, for which only 100 are worked,
all the others being exhausted. 1t is
said that these mines were opened 1,
900 years ago, which is not incredible,
as it is well known that magnesia was
formerly used for many purposes,
other than the fabrication Of pipes
moreover, Fuller's earth used to be
worked on a vast scale by the scien-
lists. The meerschaum mines are
worked by 500 miners, who live in
the surrounding villages. At Gheikl,
in the neighborhood of sepetdje, there
are 5000 pits, of which only 1oe are
worked, giving employment to 400
miners.
The only place where the admins
tration Of mines authorized meer.
schaum to be extracted is Menlou, and
here there are only twenty pits aotu-
ally worked by 100 workmen. The
working Of these meerschsum deposits
called the Eskicnehir, mines which
were actively worked, is re. |
iueed to 1,770 pits, giving employ
ment to some 5000 miners, the great
sr portion of whom are Kurds and Per.
,ians. Scientific American.
