The TUNNELTON TROUBLE,
And the Fight Between the Union and
the Coal Company.

There is no change yet in the
strike situation at Tunnelton. The
fight is one simply between the
Coal Company and the Miners
Union. The former is trying to
break up the Union, and has been
getting shut of some of the best men
they had, dropping one or two at
time, so as to weaken the organiza-
ton and drive away the men of
spirit and independence that they
could not own and control soul and
body. The Company aroused con-
siderable antagonism by trying to
force all their employees to deal at
the Company store, and even going
right after the men who bought
goods elsewhere and demanded to
know why they were guilty of such
conduct. Some of the men told
them that when they worked and
earned their money honestly they
thought it was theirs to do as they
pleased with, and that they had a
right to spend it wherever they
could get the best bargains, etc.
But such men as that were marked
at once for sacrifice and had to 60.
The new manager and new super
intendent have had trouble ever
since they came, and have already
lost their usefulness at Tunnelton,
and the only way the Company can
succeed there is to make change,
and either get A. ]. Bonafeld and
Mr.. Cummings back as manager
and superintendent, or other parties
who have had experience In the
business and know how to deal with
white men and free born American
citizens. The present officials may
have been able to get along with
and manage Dagoes, Poles, Huns
and niggers over in the Penpsyl-
vania coal region where they came
from, but it is very doubtful IL they
can ever make a success of the
business at Tunnelton.
Both sides are waiting for some
thing to turn up, and so far every
thing is quiet and peaceful. The
Miners Union have written for
some of their head officials to come
and confer with the Company for
them and see if they can negotiate
peaceful and satisfactory settle
ment of any kind that will bring tee
strike to an end. The said officials
OF the Union have so much other
trouble on hand in various places
that they have been unable to gel
around this way as yet. In the
meantime good many miners are
leaving Tunnelton and going to
work elsewhere, and there ale quite
a number of vacant houses now
something unusual for the Goa
Center. The Company also are
II
losing heavily, as they are unable
to coal the b. & o. engines except
the Newburg helpers, and they hac
several hundred tons in the tipple
which they are saving for that pur,
pose, while the other engines have
to coal elsewhere. In the mean
time the Union is standing by theil
checkman, since he stood by them,
and the Superintendent refuses tc
allow them checkman, as the Law
provides, unless it is some one the,
can control. In other words, the,
want to do all the weighing anc
keep all the accounts to suit them
selves.

ntreeta of Old Eernt.

Some very interesting papyri were
unearthed at Fayum, in Egypt, and
among them was directory showing
the location of the streets in the an
cient city of Arsinoe. In many re-
spects this directory is very similar to
a modern one.
Here. for example, are the names of
the principal streets in Arsinoe: School
street, Lower street. South street, West
street, Cloth street, Arabian street,
Thracian street. Cicilian street, Deme-
trius street, Therapeia street, Church
street, King street and Emperor's S
square.
Some of these names may seem
strange to us. yet if we analyze them
we shall find very little difference be
tween them and the names of the
streets in modern cities. In New York
city there is no Thracian street or De-
metrius street. but are there not Lit
tie Italy and Madison square?-New

WATERED STOCKS HOME TO
ROOST.

All crops are large and all branches of
the federal government are in the
hands OF the Republican party. and yet
prices OF securities in Wall street are
going down-in fact laet week they
tumbled down at an alarming rate.
Money commands high rates, and gold
exports are impending. Where are
Mark Hanna and the party of prosper
ity and the sacred tariff? If these three
cannot maintain prosperity, then indeed
there is something rotten IN Denmark
or Wall street, The theory has been that
the higher the rate of taxation in the Gus
tom houses. the greater the degree of
prosperity, but this theory is getting at
least black eye, in Wall street.
The prime trouble in the commercial
world now is watered securities based
on the tariff. The country has a surfeit
OF them, more than it can absorb, and
the holders Of them are endeavoring to
unload them before they become alto
getherd invaluable. These watered sec.
1rities are largely issues of the three
hundred trusts that the sacred tariff is

Humor of Bows ana Girls.

From twelve ON an increasing per-
centage Of the children relinquish the
idea that self is necessary In the joke
and give more impersonal accounts.
Girls more frequently than boys quote
the humor of the refined adult and in
persor experiences often describe c.
casionS of their own timidity. This is
probably due to the different home
training Il girl receives. She is con-
tinually drilled Ito be a lady" whicF
in most cases means to drop her natu-
raj instincts aud to initiate the adults
of her environment. About twelve she
loses the fearlessness she has hitherto
shared with her brothers and becomes
good prey for their soaring" schemes.
This seems to develop the boys teas
ing abilities. for. while before almost
all their tricks were on their own Sex,
NOW the acme of their fun as recorded
is to frighten some girl or to make heS
look ridiculous. A hoy of twelve IL
Illustrates this tendency and by his
mixed clauses gives further material
for smiles. ''The best joke | saw
played was putting bunch of fire
crackers by lady that were not lit,
and they scared her" Century.

A Score.

Twenty is called a score because II
represents the whole man. ten fingers
and ten toes. Etymologically 1t means
cut or mark. In very early times,
when men could not count beyond
twenty, or lone man." it was usual
to cut a notch in a stick and begin
again. and so it went on, one man, two
men. and so on. This is why sheep
are still counted by the score. Now, a
tally (French taille, cut or nicked)
means an account kept by means of
notched stick. and until the end of the
eighteenth century such sticks were
given as exchequer receipts. accom-,
panied by written document. This
was also the usual way of keeping &C
counts in the inns of the middle ages
The number of drinks or meals GUS
toner had were scored against him oc
what was called tally stick. and
when it reached twenty, or a whole
man." he was expected to pay. In
some English country inns scores are
still kept on a slate. four chalk marks
and one across-fve-andf four of these
make twenty, or a score.
