GOVERNOR STONE,

Governor Stone has finally done all he can do in the way of calling out soldiers. He has been warmly criticized because he didn't call them out long ago. He has also been urged to seize and operate the coal mines as public utilities. He hasn't done that, and it is pretty clear that he can't legally do it. Representative Dalzell of Pennsylvania thus talks about this feature of the sit uation: Governor Stone has absolutely no authority for doing anything of the kind, all statements to the contrary. It has been alleged that 8 precedent was established for such action by the de- cision of the United States Supreme court in the Mum case. The two cases are not parallel. observe also that Senator Chandler is an advocate of this method of operating the mines. and that he suggests that the government seize them. I differ fin toto from this view of the ex-Senator, which is of the kind that we might expect from State socialist. Governor Stone has no aue thority, either in State law or in fed eral statute to take possession of the mines and operate them.
 Of course many of those who are al O y,,orsner %o Lo1,a Go,-acxoc C+c,o eo;,o the mines don't care whether he has any right to or not, but there are some who think it wise to stick to law and order awhile longer.

4 NEEDED COMPASSION.

President Roosevelt's idea that there ought to be tariff commission to sug- gest notifications and schedules as the need for them arises isn't enthusiastic cally received, and he probably didn't expect it would be. But, all the same, it has it's merits. What such a con- mission might be and do is we'll set forth by the Outlook, which points out that it should be permanent it's mem- bers should be men of legal training, but as free from all prejudice, capital istic or otherwise, as possible; they should be paid enough to warrant their giving their whole time and attention to the matter; in other words, they should be appointed in the same spirit in which the United States judges are appointed; ; and they should have power to sit in any part of the country, to require the attendance of witnesses, to examine books and papers, to administer oaths, and to prefer charges for perjury and contempt From such a commission the public would learn what monopolies are fostered by protection; what indus tries pay larger wages in America than abroad; what concerns charge Ameri-

It is a comparatively little matter, but it is encouraging to note that after a four months struggle the laborers in seventeen bituminous mines in West Virginia have gone back to work for the wages they were offered when the strike began. There are four thousand of these miners, and they will add largely to the available soft coal supply from this time forth. The strike was, like that in Pennsylvania, for the rec ognition of the union, and was a total failure.

Tonight the Associated Press
learns that King Edward was great
ly unnerved by the condition of the
Archbishop of Canterbury and that
His Majesty sat in constant dread of
a contretemps though outwardly
calm, as could be judged from the
steadiness which he held his sceptre
rod erect during the ordeal. This
brave show, however, did not de-
ceive the Queen. Throughout the
service, and especially as the Arch
bishop of Canterbury became more
and more nervous, Her Majesty
palpably dreaded that the King
would break down. With keen anx-
iety Eshe constantly turned toward
her husband, watching him intently
throughout the ceremony.
Her graceful dignity and solici-
tude for King Edward was one of
the most charming features Of the
proceedings in the abbey. Her Ma
jesty S appearance won extravagant
enconiums, especially from the wo-
men, many OF whom declared that
queen Alexandra did not lsok a day

BET PAID IN NOVEL WAY

James Coyle, according to Phil
adelphia dispatch to the New York
World, paid his wager on the Jeffries-
Fitzsimmons fight in a novel man
ner. Several hundred men and a
brand aided him in discharging his
obligations, Coyle bet William H.
Smith that Fitzsimmons would win.
The loser was to roll a peanut with
a crowbar from Penn street and Pu-
laski avenue to Washington lane
and Germantown avenue, one mile.
After staying up all night to learn
how the fight resulted Coyle, equip
ped with a crowbar and a peanut
assembled himself at the starting
point. The crowbar weighed forty
pounds, the peanut one-fortieth of
announce. KCoyle wore a hat of straw.
The band played a funeral march
as Coyle urged the peanut over the
pavement with the point of the
crowbar. Every few feet the peanut
would roll intoa crevice, and delicate
manipulation with the crowbar was
required to extricate it.
The distance was covered in two
hours and a half.

100 YEARS OF TROUSERS.

Most people will be surprised to
hear that trousers, as ~atpresent worn
by the male portion of humanity,
have Just celebrated their centenary,
but, according to Fashion, such is
undoubtedly the case. They t'came
inn on account of the high living
prevalent a hundred years ago. This
produced a good deal of govt, whose
twinges the tight-ftting costume in
use at that period made unbearable.
Hence the invention of the wider
form of garment, which soon became
popular and was adopted by many
royal personages athome and abroad.
Among the handles of the period,
however, the new style was regard
ed with contempt, and when Al
mack's was at it's height as a fash
ionable resort the great Duke OF
Wellington was once refused admis-
sion because he presented himself ir
trousers instead of the (for that time,
orthodox neither garments. So far has
| their sway now extended that they
threaten to supplant even the Scot
| fish kilt.

HE DIES BY POISON.

Paris, Aug. 9.-With a compli-
ment to his young wife that showed
he had n o fears for her welfare, Louis
Pennington, of Raleigh, N. c., COM
mitted suicide to-day by taking
poison.
His farewell to his wife, which he
wrote before swallowing the fatal
draught, was:
"These id specialists would
gradually have reduced us to perjury.
The fact is, they failed to cure Kaiser
Frederick, who also had smokers
cancer. Why should they cure me?
My sufferings are ~intolerable.
"Good-by. Take what money is
left, Return home and live with
my mother until you marry again.
"You r young and pretty. Let
no foolish sentiment stand in your
way if you find a congenial mate. Be
happy. My spirit won't be jealous"
Pennington, who was thirty-eight
! years old, had been in Paris under
medical treatment. His wife, who
is twenty-five, accompanied him
| here and attended him in his illness.
She will leave at once for her
! home in America.

Louis Pennington, handsome, re-
fined, Of excellent family, came to
Raleigh five years ago with his
young bride, a woman of great
| beauty. He was from Western New
York, and was understood to be
wel-to-do.
He engaged extensively in a sci
entifc vegetable growing venture,
intending to supply Northern mar
kets with early products.
Soon abandoning his experiment
here he went to Wilmington. There
he started a similar plantation. This,
too, he abandoned, came back here
for a little while, then went away
again and never returned.

Two Badly Puzzled Ladies'.

Vernet the French painter, was once
travelling from Versailles to Paris in
the same compartment with two ladies
whom he had never seen before, but
who were evidently acquainted with
him. They examined him very minute
ly and commented upon him quite free
ly. The painter was annoyed and de-
termined to put an end to the persecu-
ton. AS the train passed through the
tunnel of St. Cloud the three travellers
were wrapped in complete darkness.
Vernet raised the back of his hand to
his mouth and kissed it twice violent
ly. On emerging from the obscurity he
found that the ladies had withdrawn
their attention from him and were glar-
ing contemptuously at each other.
Presently they arrived at Paris, and

3 AT BRTSTOW :
3 STATION 8
> By SCOTT CHALMERS G
) Copyright by II. G. Mcclure 8
oooooooooooo oooooooooo

Bristow Station was in the Panhan-
die section of Texas, and a more lone
" and dreary place it would be hard
to find. There was but one building,
which served for freighthouse, passen-
ger depot and ticket and telegraph
Office. Bert Brown, the X. and NJ.
agent, had to do all the business and
cook his own meals over an oil stove.
There were four trains daily over the
road; but, unless tagged. the two pas
senger trains went through Bristow
at fifty mile clip. To the west of the
station was a long siding with cattle
pens, then a straight track for thirty
miles over the prairie.
Bert could always count ON a visit
from three or four tramps a day, and,
though the instructions from the divi-
sion superintendent We're to "discour-
age" them, he took his own course in
the matter. To discourage them
meant to threaten them with pains and
penalties and refuse them even a drink
of water. To Bert it looked too much
like childish spite, and, though he may
have done some growing now and
then, he always had a bite to eat and
bit of tobacco for the tourist whose
language was respectful. AS q matter
of fact there were times when he
could sit down with one Of them for
an hour and be interested in the
tramp's adventures by flood and field.
If Bert did not obey his instructions
to the letter, the section boss on that
section did He was a burly big fell
low, regarded by his employers as
bully and a coward. Knowing that he
had the law on his side. he fairly went
hunting for tramps. If one was found
track walking, he received such a
humping that he could hardly crawl
off to a highway. and no freight train
with hobo on the bumpers could pass
the boss that his sharp eyes would not
detect the culprit.
Perhaps it was this mans fierce
enmity toward tramps that softened
Bert's heart.
Agent and boss had never had
word on the subject, however, until
one summer afternoon he happened
along with his car and his gang just
as a tramp had reached the station
and was resting in the shade. Bert
had not seen the fellow as yet when
he heard row outside. The section
boss had spied the hobo and stopped
to give him a drubbing. The tramp
was a man about thirty. and it needed
The Press. (Stafford Springs, Conn.) 1883-1935, 1902-09-18

A surprise awaited him as he opened
the door. Sitting at the table, with
his head on his arms and apparently
asleep, was the tramp of the afternoon.
The instrument was calling 'B B."
as If lives depended on an instant an
swer, and Bert had to reach over the
sleeping mans shoulder to reply. In
a minute came this message from
Clairsville:
with you? Are there any more emp
ties on the way?"
''What do you mean?" Bert asked
II mean that l have ditched the
| seven cattle cars and want to know if
any others got away"
1t took some time to make matters
plain. Several times Bert shook the
sleeper and called to him to vacate the
chair, but he did not move. The 4
O'Clock freight had brought down six
teen cattle cars and after backing
| them in on the siding had pulled out
| and left the switch wide open. The
section gang had passed the spot with
out noticing the switch, and when the
gale came up seven of the cars had
| been blown out on the main track and
started down the road at thirty miles
an hour. The other nine would have
followed had not one of them Jumped
the track and held the rest. Clairsville
had received word of the runaways
and ditched them to prevent smash
up with the express.
1t was no ghOstly telegram that had
been sent in Bcrt's absence. The in
jured tramp who had left him that
afternoon had for some reason re-
| turned to the track later on. He must
have seen the open switch and sight
ed the runaway empties. He had
made his way down to the station to
give Bert the information and, finding
him gone, had sat down to the instru-
ment and warned Clairsville. He had
given Bert no hint that he was an OPP
orator, but such was the case. He had
sent the message through in good
shape and saved the road big smash
up.
Here. wake up, wake up and shake
hands and let me thank you" Bert
shouted as the mystery was solved and
he felt his heart growing big.
No reply broke the silence which
suddenly and strangely impressed
Bert The hands he touched were
cold.
The inquest was held at Clairsville,
and the verdict was heart disease,
aggravated by a recent injury" The
recent injury" consisted of three bro
ken ribs. The fact that this was re-
ceived at the hands of the section boss
was not stated. That the poor chap
had ever managed to walk hundred
rods the doctors declared a wonderful
thing. He was nameless, homeless and
friendless, and the railroad company
had no sentiment and no gratitude.
The poor bruised body was laid in a
pauper's grave. unmarked and uncared
for and only Bert Brown stood beside
the last resting place of Bristow Sta
