MINERS STRIKE.

Nearly fifty thousand of miners
have been out on a strike several
months and the end is not in sight
President John Mitchell of the
United Mine Workers in ordering
out subdivision of the workers
said their present wages we're not
sufficient to keep body and soul
together.
And this is the announcement of
the boasted prosperity that was to
follow the election Of Mckinley,
and these miners are only few Of
the dupes who were herded two
years ago by the agents of unscru-
pulous wealth and forced to vote
the bread out of the mouths of
their children under the alternate
threats of losing their jobs and
promises of increased and contin-
nous wages in the event of Repub-
lican success.
Truly, these men are to be pitied
rather than censured for their past
folly.
Thew have one great lesson to
learn, and nothing but the bitter
est of bitter experience will teach
them that there never was a time
IN the worlds history when capital
and labor were in sympathy.
Had it ever been otherwise, or
could it ever be otherwise, the
Prince Of Peace would have never
said of rich man that his entrance
intothe kingdom Of Heaven ismore
difficult than the passage of a camel
through the eye of a needle.
It is the Eeriest folly to suggest
further experimentation along the
present lines of the governmental
policy. For nearly a quarter Of
century its maintenance has be-
gotten nothing but financial mon
strosities. Disasters havefollowed
disasters in such rapid succession
that the common people have often
beenl led to a condition almost Dor
dering on desperation. Corporate
wealth stands confessedly in con-
troll Of the government
Is it not enough to know that a
number Of the higher court officials
of the country have been repeated
ly charged with bribery, and not
without reason? United States
Senators have been openly charged
with dishonest methods and proof
to substantiate the charges has
been offered, but no investigations
can be had.
If any man dare raise his voice
in opposition to all this, he is de-
nounced as an anarchist; if he but
open his mouth on the rostrum, he
is a demagogue; if he merely hints
thatthe entire country is not per-
feet garden of ecstatic prosperity,
he is a calamity bowler.

She Took Our Vinol with
Good Results.
WE WANT EVERY ONE TO
KNOW ABOUT 1T.
READ WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY,
COME AND SEE US.

We don't want any one in this city
to drag themselves through life in pain
and misery for the want of enough
strength to feel well and happy.
If you feel hstless, without ambition
and run down, it is bad sign.
You are running grave chances. You
are in a condition to be attacked by
most any disease.
This feeling of debility is symptom
that your system is generally democrat
lied. You should take a tonic.
You should take Vinol, which we
know and will guarantee will restore
your strength.
Following is one case where it did
this. Mrs. T. II. Boyle, of Sc Chestnut
ST., West Newton, Mass, says:
Last spring l used one bottle of
Vinol. At that time 1 was all run
down and sick. I find that it did me
lots of good, and by its use my strength
came back to me"
Vinol is delicious preparation, con-
tanning the active curative principles
that are found in cod-liver oil, dis
solved in a delicate table wine.
Vinol acts directly on the stomach,
aiding digestion and at the same time
creating a healthy appetite. 1t gives
strength and vigor to every organ of
the body.
We endorse VinOl, and guaran-
tee it's action, and will gladly
refund to any one who is not
satisfied the money which they
paid for it.

The fl 1rry of business IN Americua

Fearing that the Chinese residents of

they were routed out of their houses
one morning, shot or felled, if they
made any resistance, or, fleeing to the
river, drowned. Not less than 1000
persons perished in-the carnage, which
preceded the virtual occupation of
Manchuria by Russian troops.

its cutting is in inverse proportion
to it's cost. The three shapes are

become so familiar and so much used

anything different, especially when it
is as attractive as is the new vase

CARMEN SYLVA'S TALES.
"a Real ouecn's Fairy Tales" Is the
Latest Book from the Pen OF
Rouniania's Queen.

Elizabeth, queen of Roumania,
whose pen name of Carmen Sylvia is
known all over the world, has writ
ten n new volume of fairy tales. The
book is issued in half dozen differ
ent countries. The American transla-
tion by Miss Edith Hopkirk is charm-
ing in its simplicity and grace. George
Il. II. Davis has written an enthusias-
tic introduction, in which he tells the
chief points in Carmen Sylva's life
She is charming hostess and bril-
liant conversationalist, being able to
entertain her guests with equal grace
in half dozen different languages.
The queens literary work includes
novels, poems, dramas, proverbs, n
philosophical treatise, and an opera
libretto, but she finds her greatest de-
light in writing fairy tales. The
worldwide popularity of these tales
is easily understood after reading her
last volume. The stories are about
children and for children, and their
ideas and imagery as well as their
language are just of the right kind
to hold n child spellbound. The
fairies are of the good and noble va
riety, and their rewards are bestowed
upon the little boys and girls who do
the most unselfish acts. The tales
breathe an elevating influence, yet
their morals are not of the dull or
obvious kind. The moral is part of
the warp and woof of the story.
The supernatural is subsidiary
element in Carmen Sylva's fairy tales.
1t is used chiefly to give scope to her
own tastes and longings, as when she
creates fairy that changes base
metal into gold to aid in Il deed of
Kindness, or when she causes fairy
to help musician in writing a mas
terpiece. Her love of the woods, OF
birds and flowers, of music and chill
dren and of gentleness and unselfsh-
ness is embodied, in these tales with
real literary art.
In the concluding chapter Carmen
Sylvia explains to her child readers

the best-hated man in Bavaria, but has
discharged the duties of his high Office
so admirably that suspicion has given
place to confidence and esteem. He is
a great believer in national unity and
has frequently declared himself as a
German prince first and Bavarian
ruler afterward. On NE other hand,
Otto, before losing his mind, bitterly
opposed such an acknowledgment
of Bavarian inferiority and expressed
genuine hatred for Prussia.
In view of this condition of affairs
the question arises whether the Bavar-
ian court and ministers will care to
assume the responsibility of intrust-
ing the throne to their titular king
and take the chances of open rebellion
against the federation at whose head
stands Emperor William, backed by
the armies of n mighty nation. What
ever may happen, Bavaria will not be

in state of anarchy. From the Amur
river town of Blagovestchensk down TO
the port of Newchwang life and prop
erty are at the mercy of rebelliohs
Manchus and Boxers. While the inter-
national forces were occupying Tien-
tsin and Peking, the Russian Cossacks,
under command of Gen. Gribsky, oc-
cuped every strategic point along the
Amur river. The invasion was preced-
ed by what is now known as the massa-
ere of Blagovestchensk, ON the north
banks of the river. The Chinese
briganda, always the bane of that coun-
try, had become bold and daring be-
yond precedent. Russia, on her side of
the Amur, viewed the distnrbaDces
with pleasure, and when reports
reached St. Petersburg that attacks
had been made on several railroad sta
tions in Manchuria, Gen. Gribsky was
instructed to act on the offensive.

how she came to write under that
name. She tells what glorious times
she had as little girl playing in the
forest, when she would tie her little
hood over her dark brown hair and
with her two big st. Bernard dogs by
her side would race through the for
est, avoiding all beaten paths, and
listen to its voices. "The forest sang
songs to me-" she continues, (which
/ wrote down afterward at home, but
which l never showed to anyone. 1t
was our secret-the woods and
mine" When she married she had
already written large volume of
poems and had tried her hand at the
drama and at prose fiction, having
written her first story at the age of
IL and her first play at II. But l
knew quite well that it was all very
poor stuff" she says. Not till / was
tive-and-thirty did l let anything be
printed, and that was only because so
many people took the pains to copy
verses from my scrap book that
wanted to spare them the trouble and
simplify matters"
She east about for name under
which to hide her identity, and de-
cided upon that of Waldgesang, or
Woodsong, which in Latin is Carmen
Sylvae. AS the last word did not look
quite like a real name she took the
liberty of dropping the final letter
and made it Carmen Sylvia. Under
this name she long hid her royal per.
sonality. "If to-day ! come forth
from that shelter that was like the
broad leaves of the silver linden
spread over me, it is because so many
friends, and especially dear children
have asked it of me, and because
have now white hair and would sc
gladly be N grandmother if only Goo
had granted me that blessing"
