MANY, IN SEEING, SEE NOT THE
POSSIBILITIES OF THE FAN

One of the most effective weapons of
bellehood is the fan, yet of the thou
sands of girls who WELD them grace
fully or otherwise, 1t is safe to assume
that there are comparatively few who
know their history. Japanese fans are
in high favor, yet TO many a girl it is
a fan to cool one, or to firt with, Moth
int more. But to a Chinese or a Japa-
nese. a fan is a thing of importance.
To them it talks and tells many things.
le fair, fiOwery Japan the fan is the
.emhlem of life, and the rivet is the
Sword of the god Kashima. He re-
|ceived orders to subdue the world, so
he ran his sword through the earth
and left It there, for il the sword l'ivet
were pulled out, the world would fall
to pieces.
There is another and even older lc-
lgend 0f the fan. According to it. the
widow Of a famous japanese patriot
invented the folding fan. She went
into a convent in Kioto after her hus-
bann's death. and when a great saint
was slowly dying of fever, she cured
him by folding a piece of paper and
tanning him night and day. The nuns
copied the paper fan, and the order is
famous for its fans even to this day.
To the average American, woman OF
man, the fan means little. The pictures
are attractive. the colOring pretty and
so the fan is bought. To those whc
know the color. the shape. the decora-
tions convey a world of meaning Upon
them are the pictures Of real places
and a japanese can name the shines

Quay's Victory

From the baltimore News.
AS was -foreshadowed in the last
twnty-four hours of the fight, Quay
routed Elkin in the Republican State
Convention of Pennsylvania and named
his man for governor. thereby con-
irming his claim TO the title of the
shrewdest politician of the country.
There is no other boss of to-day so
resourceful as he. none probably with
such une.-~ing judgment of the men
with whom Ae has to deal Quay
knows when to fiatter. when TO seduce
with promises, when to bribe, and
when to crush brutally by the mere
force Of superior power. He knew how
TO deal with Colonel Watres' probes
sions of independence, and he knew
that EllIin, despite his hot words and
the shaking of his finger in the Sena-
tors face. would be back promptly into
the fold. After their controversy in
the committee meeting on Tuesday, it
is an enligIhtening commentary on the
character of the two men to find Quay
the day after. saying: "As for John p
El1in. | have nothing but admiration
and genuine sympathy for him; he Is
a young man with bright future and
can afford to wait" and Elkin writ
ing: The fight is over and there are
no sore spots" Quay's power over the
State machine was never more absolute

Officers stationed at the French
street patrol station take pride in their
army of rat exterminatcrs. They have
five cats that are champion rat-killers,
and in the stable back of the patrol
station there are numerous bloody
battles to the death.
There have been as many as seven
cats kept by this important branch of
the local Police Department, but at
present the number is but five full
grown cats and two smaai nutens.
Yesterday a half-grown cat appeared
at the patrol station. and made over

Philipso sounded out Of place doing
service for a man who had imbibed
American beliefs and customs and
whose destiny was closely linked with

member Of the band to which he be-

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Law-proof Trust

LdW-prOoI trust
From the St Louis Post-Dispatch.
Tho prediction is made, with some
show OF authority, that the packers
composing the Meat Trust will, If de-
feated in the action brought against
them by the Government, reorganize
under another and stronger form.
This seems to be the plan of these
gentlemen in all monopolistic ven
lures. When one OF their schemes is
found not lawproof they Immediately
get I'D another. The Government has
won several victories over the trusts,
but the trusts survive and go on their
way with arrogant Joy, plundering the
people and gathering more and more
power Of oppression into their hands
What Is TO be the end Of 1t?
Will the monopolists finally discover
a form of organization blameleHs IN
the eve of the law, which shall be law
full and at the same time an efficient
instrument Of oppressive power2 II
so. our boasted law is a poor protec-
ton. Or will the Government finally
reach the core of the trouble and cut
it out2

when Kissing was Costly.

The case of the People against Muir
line, heard by the governor of New
Haven colony in council on May day,
1860, indicates the attitude toward un-
licensed kissing in those times. 1t ap-
peared that Jacob Murllne and Sarah
Tuttle had been caught kissing each
other.
Jacob tried TO throw the blame on
Sarah, saying he thought she had with
intent let fall her gloves" Sarah de-
MED the intent. Jacob then admitted
that he "tooke her by the hand, and
they both sat down upon a chest, but
whether he kyssed her or she kyssed
him he knows not. for he never thought
of it since until Mr. Raymond told him
that he had not layde Il to heart as he
ought"
The stern governor, after duly. lee
turing the guilty parties on the enormi-
ty of their offense decreed that "the
sentence therefore concerning them is
that they shall pay either Of them a
fine of 20 shillings to the colony"

MINER TELLS STORY OF STRIKE
AND LIFE IN THE COAL REGIONS

Are the men firm in their de.
mandsg'
IAN the miners are as firm today
as the day they ordered strike. If
there is a break in. the men of the
Carbondale mines will be the last ones
to return
DO you think there will be any
break ing"
No. do not. for the men are too
we'll organized for that The COM
panies refuse ali the demands of The
miners and protest against an eight
hour day, but l think the demands of
ot the miners are just and the men are
justified in making them. From pres
ent indications and judging from what
see in the papers, think the miners
will win out and have all their de-
mands acccded to-"
Mr. Killeen said he did not care to
say any more about the strike because
he wants TO return TO Carbondale City
when settlement has been made, and
as he is a property owner and a re-
spectacle citizen he was afraid he
would say something that would get
back before him and injure his reputa-
Ition.
When asked how he liked the work
in factory as compared to that OF the
mines. Mr.. Killeen said:
Il think there is more danger In
every corner of the mill than in any
OF the mines. and l would prefer to
work in the mines at any time"
Isn't there danger in the mines from
tire-damp, gases and fires?"
Not in the mines around Carbon
dale City and the adjoining district.
The only thing we have to fear are
saddles or bells. They are huge rocks
from two to eight feet in thickness
and taper down to feather edge. You
may sound them when you enter the
mines in the morning and they will
sound solid and appear to be safe.
Within half an hour or less time than
that they may drop and allow large
portions of the roof to come down.
All we have to watch is the roof. We
never have any gas, fire-damp or
water which threatens to flood the
mines. Occasionally we strike a lit
tie water and have to work in it up
to our knees. but that is all we ever
have. The work is harder than in the
mill. but a person becomes accustomed
to II. | expect to return TO Carbon
dale when the trouble is settled. The
rents there are Almost a third cheaper
than here and a man can live much
moro economically"

Pearson Hobson is a sort OF spectacular

vessel in the mouth OF the Santiago

since Hobson has been too much in

a series Of lectures in which he re-
counted his exploits, and kissed every

us advice about our position as q
world power, and then came the news
that he desired to be retired on pay,

From the Philadelphia Press.
The senatorial opponents Of reci-

strength and taken a stand which
threaten the defeat of all legislation oil
the subject. Their exact attitude is
yelled with some obscurity. Il is now
said that they are opposed to the
House bill which was carried by their
friends: that they are against the re-

posed to hit the Sugar Trust; and that
they stand for rebate and rebate

equally against Republican policy and

These senator's are wrong They
have assumed a mistaken and. as we
believe. an indefensible position. They
have arrayed themselves against The

Most Manageable Animals.

Nhe silent Man Genernlfy HAS tho
Most Manageable Animals.
Has any one ever noticed that a ST
lent man has usually the bestt broken
horses? 1t may not be true, but alfthe
men of my acquaintance who do not
talk much have well broken horses.
Drive with them, and you will-wonder
how they manage their horses No
management is visible. The horse goes
where he is wanted without apparent
effort on the part of the driver. One
famous turfman at least has been not
ed for his art in driving a horse to the
limit of his speed without making a
move while his rivals were lifting and
yelling and whipping theirs. How did
he do it? Don't know, but he was
man Of few words.
Probably there is a lesson IN this.
The average horse understands only a
few things thoroughly, only a few
words, signs or commands. The silent
man gives only a few, and he does not
confuse his horse. The horse is made
to know them thoroughly. He under
stands the man who understands him.
1t is a pleasure TO drive a horse that
understands. Few pleasures in life can
equal It If the horse is a good, cheer
full driver There would be more OF
this kind if they were made to know a
few things thoroughly-the right
things-National Stockman.

A commercial traveller in Yorkshire,
himself a Yorkshireman, writes us
from Sheffield as follows: To-day
had occasion to go into large iron
mongers shop. and got into conversa-
ton with the manager as to his selling
American saws. He is strongly OF
opinion that the British saw is no
where in comparison with the Ameri-
can article He showed me a saw made
by ST. Louis firm. He doubled up
the blade and put the end Of it through
the handle and then let it straighten
itself out, which it did, and was as
straight as an arrow. Joiners who
purchased one, he told me always rec
commended it in preference to the
British article. ! was further told that
a Sheffield firm was installing a ma
chine to make a similar saw. l was
glad to hear it, for the sooner the Shef-
field sawmakers wake up to the fact
that the saw trade is likely to so the
way OF the scissors trade the better"

The coal strike continues and the
situation is becoming very serious.
James KilIeem, OF Carbondale City,
Iackawanna county, Pennsylvania,
prosperous and thrifty miner who has
followed that vocation for twenty
years. has come to this city and OBJ
tanned work in the plant OF the Joseph
Bancroft and Sons Company. He is
one of the many who are leaving the
coal regions during these hard times,
but who are ever ready TO return when
peace has been restored. Mr.. Killeen,
when seen by reporter for the Even
ing Journal and questioned about the
situation, talked freely and gave a
striking account of the life of the aver
age miner.
He safd: Il came to Wilmington
about month ago, in search of
employment and was glad to get away
from the mine regions before the
trouble started. When 1 left the men
were going to be idle for three days as
a temporary strike. until they held
convention. The convention was held
and u strike declared.
There are several things the men
want In the first place, they are re-
duired to mine 1850 pounds to the ton,
for which they receive "a cents. In
the Delaware and Hudson mines. the
more coal you put on the cars the
better it is for you. The men have
to buy all their own supplies out OF
the "A cents. which they receive per
ton Six cars loaded are supposed to be
days work, but it is very seldom
the men make that, because the com
pany on operators have so many ways
OF getting the coal out of the mines.
The average days work is eight tons.
Two men work on the six cars and
each man gets half of what is left after
the expenses have been paid. The COM
pany sells the powder to the men at
$3.50 a keg. Before the last strike the
miners paid $2.75 a keg. All the other
material is sold by the company and
tho only things it supplies are the
the mine car and the ticket for regis
tering. The men are paid ON the 10Th
and 2Sth of the month since the last
strike. but before that they were paid
only every thirty days.
DO the men want shorter hours"
They want an eight-hour day for
tho company men, engineers and fire
men. and the miners are trying to get
an eight hour day with ten hours
pay. Another of their demands is that
their union will be recognized by the
companies"
