THE PIANO NEXT DOOR.

My neighbors. all musical, day after
On that horrible instrument ceaseless-
ly play.
The young ones play scales and their
elders the Ops"
OF composers in vogue at the various
shops.
And if the whole family chance to go
out,
Then the servants go in for a musical
bout;
Humping music-half songs with no
endless encore
As they roughly assault that piano
next door!
If indeed it's fiend in that instru-
ment dwelIs
And embitters my life with its ear
splitting spells,
I'm unable to say; but | think tits
possessed,
For by night and by day it is never
at rest.
And whenever l wake, be the hour
what it may,
am certain to hear it impulsively
\ succession of tunes it continues to
sPour.
Till I audibly curse that piano next
door!
Before 1 get up at high pressure it
goes;
1t is tinkling away when I seek my
repose.
Resources quite new it for torture re-
veals,
When, with wool in my ears, / am
taking my meals.
If I'd sit down to reac or would work
with a win,
With its out-of-tune wires it accom-
panies still.
'Tis in vain that / threaten or meek
ly implore;
It is deaf. though not dumb, that
piano next door!
Of my one happy home it mockery
makes,
The amenities out of existence it
takes.
1t is spelling a temper once mild and
urbane;
1t is making mel must admit it
profane;
And worse than all this (the whole
truth let me own)-
In dispair, it has led me to learn the
trombone;
For tits only, methinks. by that in

Bentoraarbor Out OF FneI.

Benton Harbor, Mich, Oct 16.-The
cold snap found Benton Harbor in
hard shape for fuel. There is not a
pound of anthracite in the city and
only one or two cars of soft coal, the
latter selling for 50 n ton. There were
many appeals from the poor people of
the city and the city will have to find
some scheme to keep them warm.
This summer the city tore up all of
the old cedar block pavement and put
down asphalt. About 800 cords Of
blocks were piled in the city lots. The
mayor ordered the city yards to be
thrown open and the poor people are
taking out the cedar blocks by the cart
load.

END OF STRIKE NOW REACHED
Continued from First Page.

At the conclusion of the first confer
ence Mitchell walked over to the
treasury department, where for two
hours he remained closeted with Frank
z. Sargent commissioner of immigra-
ton. in the latter's office. During that
time Mitchell communicated by long
distance telephone with persons in
New York and in Wilkesbarre. Com
missioner Sargent has been an impor-
tant factor in the efforts made by
President Roosevelt to effect a settle
ment of the controversy between the
miners and the operators and there
fore was in position to talk frankly
with Mitchell. Their conference was
as earnest as it was long.
1t is believed that at its conclusion
Mitchell had formulated statement
akin to n counter proposition to that
made by the operators. This he later
presented TO the president. going d.
rectly from Sargent's office to the
White House for that purpose. While
no authorized statement of the coun-
ter proposition could be obtained it
can be stated on excellent authority
sition of the operators, took exception
to the disparagement of the miners
union and to the limitation of the time
in which, under the proposed agree
ment, there is to be no Strike-that is
three years.
His particular objection, however
was to the insistence of the mine own
ers that they should be permitted to
designate the classes from which the
arbitrators should be drawn by the
president 1t is understood that he
took a firm stand against this propo-
sition, saying he was satisfied the min
ers would not submit to any arbitra-
ton which would not be arbitration
Ia fact as we'll as in name. He urged
that this would not be the case If one
side to the controversy were afforded
the advantage of naming the classes
from which the arbitratOrs were to be
appointed. He plants himself squarely
on his own proposition that the prest-
dent should be allowed to name the
arbitrators without any restrictions or
limitations made either by the miners
or by the mine owners.
