LIVES BY SELLING CANDY.
Business of a Bright Young Syracuse GirI--Customers Help Them
 SeIyes

How to make money by selling bon bons and trusting to the honesty o1 purchasers is problem that bright young girl of Syracuse has solved. Her place of business is little booth where the customer enters and helps himself to what he wants, leaving the price in the till, where he makes his own change. In six months she has sold 10000 boxes of candy and hel losses have been less than five pounds of candy and less than five dollars 1T cash. She finds that people are gen era1ly honest.
 Rev. F. H. Towns, Maplewood's d's news dealer, has been testing the honesty o1 Maplewood people in somewhat the same way for several years and has never lost copper. He leaves the pa pers on the window sill in his little shop near the Maplewood depot, with instructions for anyone to take paper and throw the money in the open win dow onto the floor. He has sold hun dreds of newspapers in this way and has always found his cash equal to the number of papers taken.
 This recalls the sociologist who, to test the question of popular honesty asked in succession large number ot persons if they had lost half a dollar which he pretended to have picked IF on street in New York. Every one disclaimed ownership Honesty is not so rare virtue as some suppose.

A Small Riot.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Sept. S.-A small sized riot occurred at Edwards vile, mining town near here. Hiram Fisher, employed as a coal and iron policeman at No. mine of the King ston Coal company, was on his way home, in company with his son and another officer, when he was held up by some striking miners. It is alleged that the strikers threatened Fishers $ life, when he pulled his revolver and fired two shots into the crowd. Both bullets went wide of their mark. One struck a Polish woman named Mrs. John Kaskmaugh who was seated on the stoop of her home at the time, in the arm. The wound is not serious After Fisher fired the shots he did not have a chance to get. away. The for eign miners gathered in large numbers, and when they heard that he had shot a woman he was knocked to the ground and beaten ill a terrible man. ner All his teeth were knocked out, and one eye was gouged out. Some English speaking miners finally came to the mans rescue, and he was taken to the town lookup. A large crowd Of foreigners surrounded the lookup and threatened to lynch the prisoner.

CriminaIs, Fingers.

Remarkable testimony to the value of the new system of identifying crim- inals by their finger impressions was afforded in the case of man charged at London with theft. While in Holloway prison the accused had fin ger impressions taken, and they were found to accord with those of a man sentenced at Reading in 1899 to six months had labor for jewel robbery. Prisoner, who gave different name, admitted that he was the man.

PEACH STONES FOR FUEL.
They Have Been Utilized by BaIti. more Family as R substituts
 for Coal.

The strike and the increased cost of coal incident thereto has directed much attention to other materials for fuel, and Baltimore man says good substitute for the black dia- mond is dried peach stones. The only objection to their use is their scarcity, which depends entirely on the size of the peach crop. Frank Hall, the Baltimorean referred to, says his family had used peach stones as fuel for years until about three or four years ago, since which time the supply has appeared to have de- creased.
 We used to get the dried peach stones from MT. Noel, who got them from the different packing houses and dried them on his place." said MT. Hall. "I think we paid $2.5o a load for them, the load containing about 45 bushels. The fuel was used in the kitchen and gave good results. The stones will make a quick, hot fire, and one that will last. One and "a half or two buckets of the peach stones will last as long as bucket of coal. One has to be careful not to fill the stove too full or there will likely be an explosion similar to a gasoline explosion. The proper way to keep the fire going is to put in a shovelful at time.
 "Peach stones thrown into damp cellar,' said Mr. Hall, fare said to have n peculiar effect on a person. After the stones are in the cellar for some time gases arise, and the fumes will go to one's head and give the same effect as if the distilled product of the peach had been iInbibed."

NO SIGNS OF THE END
Coal Strike Enters Eighteenth
 Week Unbroken.
STRUGGLE MAY GO ON FOR MONTHS.
Only Ray of Hope In Sight Is the Possible Interference by the State Government of
 Pennsylvania.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. S.-The an- thracite mine workers strike entered upon it's eighteenth week with the lines between the operator and the miner drawn almost as tightly as when the suspension was inaugurated on May F. There were many predictions that the contest would be over by the first week in September, but if the off, cials of the mine workers union are to be believed the struggle will continue for months unless the coal companies grant concessions. Some of the opera tors looked for a serious break in the ranks of the men weeks ago and admit they are surprised at the way the strik- CTS are holding out. Rumors are cur rent and, in fact, statements have been made by prominent men both in and out of the coal trade that the strike. will be ended this month.
 President Mitchell of the union main tains he knows nothing of a possible early ending of the trouble and says he know nothing of any negotiations on foot looking to that end. The only move now in contemplation is the sug- SC9LlOh 1ONClOOI SLOuC call dA extra session of the legislature for the purpose of passing law that would have the effect of amicably and speed fly ending the deadlock. Governor Stone has given the matter considerable thought and has announced that if bill can be framed that will have the desired effect he will immediately con- vene the legiSlature
 Last week more coal left the mining region than in any previous week since the strike began. Statements have been made by mining officials that the ship ment for the last six working days ag- gregated 100000 tons. The normal weekly output is a little more than 100000
 The strikers and their officials dis pute the claims of the mining superin- tendents and maintain that most of the coal now going to market is washed from the great culm piles, and the re- mainder is the coal that had been blast ed before the strike began or which fell through the breaking of rotten timber ing during the idleness. All the fuel that is leaving the coalfields is not reaching the markets. A considerable quantity is being taken by the rail roads for their own use.
 The number of men at work through out the entire anthracite territory is difficult to obtain. It is safe to say, however, the number, compared with the total number of workers (estimated at 145,000), is small and that among those at work the certificate miners are few.
 Company officials do not look for a rapid decline in the price of coal after the strike is, over, because the demand will be greater than the supply. It is estimated that not more than 75 per cent of the mines will be in condition for immediate operation when the strike is ended

 This and Other Leagues.
 New Haven, Sept s.--The leaders and the taiIenders in the champlonsnlp race fought out couple of games oaIr urday which were rather evenly conT tested, but which did not include quile the usual amount of brilliant mdlvldr uaI plays. Deering was the in the first game, and failure to d0 business with his benders kept the ylsf itors from crossing the plate until aftef two were out in the ninth inning, when one of Councils passed balls gave them their only run. The New Haven runs came one by one, the game re7 maining really undecided until the seventh.
 The second game had two features. the cloWnish actions of Pitcher StauD of the Waterburys, who made such an exhibition of himself that Manager Harrington sent him back to the rank weeds after the game. Staub seemed bent on proving that his class is sev- eral grades lower than the State league and he has been sent back to the sand lots.
 Nine pitchers took part in the. two games, the quintet including Ramon, Lyons, Batch, Deering, in the first, and Ramon, Staub, Batch, Tuckey and Hanifan in the second.
 The usual confusion in the umpire system prevailed Saturday, Klimn, who had been assigned to the game, sauntering into the grounds about 3 o'clock, surprised to find that double header had been arranged. His fail- ure to appear at o'clock led Captains k1ernan and Canavan to agree on Splesman to hold the indicator. He was thorough success. The scores!

AZ Driving Park.

Driving Park, Sept S.-The Washing ton Hills administered another sur prise to the Pastimes yesterday, and the loss of the game meant much to the defeated team. It was only last Sunday that the St Thomas Cadets knocked the Pastimes out of the lead in the league and yesterday the Wash ington Hills, by defeating them, almost put them out of the running for the pennant. The surprise was all the greater yesterday because McGinnis, who pitched for the Washington Hills, shut the Pastimes out without a hit. They were playing pretty base ball up to the sixth inning, when the Pastimes went to pieces and the Washington Hills scored nine runs. That settled the game right there. The score:
