OXFORD TO START UP.
President Crawford, Of the Peoples
Coal Company, Gives Formal No
tice to Employees.

President John Mitchell, of the Uni
ted Mine Workers of America, was the
guest Of Scranton friends yesterday
afternoon and last night. He arrived
in the city on All afternoon train, and
after taking dinner at the St. Charles
hotel, enjoyed u drive with Druggist
John j. Lotus. to Elmhurst.
He was seen at the hotel by Trib-
une man at 1890 o'clock last night,
and his attention called to the pub
lished statement made by President j.
l.. Crawford, of the Peoples Coal COM
pany, in which notification is given
that operations will be resumed at the
Oxford colliery. When asked for a
statement regarding it, Mr.. Mitchell
significantly remarked:
"Our men will not return to work."
Further than this he would not dis
cuss the letter. Regarding his selection
by the street car men as one of the
arbitrators of the controversy with the
Scranton Railway company, he stated
that he will act in that capacity, but
does not know when the board of ar
bitrators will meet.
During his stay Mr.. Mitchell was not
in conference with any of the street
car men and stated that his visit was
purely of social nature. He will re-
turn to Wilkes-Barr' this morning.
Formal notice of the PEOPLES Coal
company's intention to resume oper-
ations at once, was given Saturday by
President j. l.. Crawford in a letter ad-
dressed to Theophlus Phillips, presi-
dent of the local to which the oxford
employees belong. The letter reads as
follows:
Scranton, July 25 1902.
Mr.. Theophlus Phillips, President Local
1715 United Mine Workers of America,
Scranton, Pa.
Dear Sir: AS per my agreement with
you the first part of July, when we
started the two rock tunnels and rock
plane and you had plclSets watching our
men very thoroughly, | told you that
you could withdraw them, as we We're
not going to mine any coal at present,
and that ! would notify you before we
intended to mine any coal. You seemed
to withdraw the pclets a day or two
after. but since the Indianapolis con-
vention we have been annoyed very much
with them, although they have not been
able to stop any of our men. as we have
also picketed all the roads leading to
our coliery.
Now, / hereby notify you that we in
tend to mine coal in few weeks, or as
soon as We can get the repairs finished
that We are engaged at, which will prob
ably take us towards the middle of Au-
gust. AS soon as we have our hoisting
engines foundations renewed and the
work in the shaft completed. we shall
empty the cars we now have in the
mines, repair them and oil them. and
prepare for work; date of which / will
send you later and through you to our
former employees But as l told YOU in

between capital and labor, was taken
as indicative by the speaker, of q great
storm which might break within the
next few years. and by it's means cause
the overthrow OF evil, and the estab-
fishing of the Lords kingdom on earth.
Nothing is further from my mind
than to advocate anarchy" said Rev.
Russell earnestly, but I do say that
the purpose of God must be accom-
plished, and if selfish men will not
peaceably yield to the new order of
things, a breakdown will come forcibly,
and by this method will the Lords de-
sires be brought to pass"
THE entire time Of trouble" he went
on to say. through which the world
has passed has been largely of a pro-
hationary nature, and has been of use
in teaching man his own inability to
cope with imperfect conditions, and the
need of the strong helping power of
Christ and His kingdom. To those who
profit by these lessons, which will con-
tinue throughout the millenal age, ev-
erlasting life and perfection are as
sured.
THE thousand years of Righteousness
will supplement the six thousand years
administration of His restitution work,
shall bring from the tombs all that are
in their graves each individual who
has suffered the penalty of death pro-
nounced upon our first parents, and
who has seen the exceedingly miser-
able condition into which sin has
brought him, may have the opportunity
of choosing life, and living everlasting
ly in Gods favor"
In closing his discourse the speaker
impressed upon all the necessity for
living up to their responsibilities, and
as they recognized more and more of
the divine purpose that they should
manifest their love for SO wise and just
and loving a Creator by faithfulness
in serving Him, recognizing that if
they were permitted to know His will
while evil conditions still abound they
might also, by reason thereof, be en-
abled to make their calling and cleo
tion sure to place in the special class
of joint-heirs with Christ which shall
bring to the world the benefits of the
millennial period set apart in Gods
plan.

"Fish are a good deal like people,"
said Superintendent Spencer, of the
Aquarium. "You can't always tell by
their countenance what to expect Of
them. Look at that fellow there,
now!'
He pointed to tiger fish which was
butting its nose against the glass of its
tank. No more villainous face of the
pugnacious sort could be found in a
days search in the haunts of third
rate pugilists.
Looks as if he would fight at the
wriggle of fin, doesn't he?" the super.
intendent continued. 'See those jaws!
Bad eye, too. Well, sir, that is the
most gentle fish in the Aquarium-one
of the clinging kind, that seeks affec-
tion and kindness. Now over there is
a lady fish. Just observe those bril-
liant colors. and that dear, innocent
face; and notice the coaXing, graceful
movements of its tail. You'd think it
would eat out of your hand, and droop
IL you scolded it.
"On the contrary; it's the most un-
lady-like fish in this collection; its
temper is shrewish and its habits are
bad; and if you gave it chance it
would bite you like savage bull pup.
It's vicious fish, and doesn't deserve
all those fine airs it has"
Mr.. Spencer put his hand near the
glass front of the tank. There was
an instant commotion; the insinuating
tail lashed the water; and that angelic
mouth bumped sharply against the
barrier in a swift effort to nip the tip
of the superintendent finger.
"Would you ever think it?" said Mr.
Spencer. Lady fish, indeed!'-New
York Mail and Express.

All the pictures that l have seen of
sea serpents represent the terrible mon
sters advancing with head erected and
the body in immense folds placed in a
vertical plane, This is entirely con.
trary to the actual method of locomo-
ton among serpents on land as well
as those in water. A snake is able to
advance only by lateral undulations of
its body in a horizontal plane. 1t can.
not move as does worm. which forms
an arch as it walks. A snake walks
with its ribs, but its motion is SO rapid
that the body never rises from the
ground even the fraction of an inch.
This is evident when you examine the
ttrail Of one in the sand or dust. All
water snakes swim after the manner
of eels, with lateral undulations. Now
change the style Of your sea serpents,
boys!-New York Press.

them both comfortably in her spick and

Children born between September
and February are, some authorities
state, not so tall as those born in the
summer and spring months, and the
growth of children is much more rapid
from March till August.
The eXtremities grow rapidly up to
the sixteenth year, then there is slow
growth till the thirtieth year. The legs
chiefly grow between the tenth and
seventeenth years.
Comparing the general results, it ap-
pears that there are six periods of
growth. The first extends up to the
sixth or eighth year, and is one of very
rapid growth; the second period, from
eleven to fourteen years, growth is
slow; the third period. from sixteen to
seventeen; the fourth period shows a
slow growth up to the age of thirty
for height, up to fifty for chest girth
the fifth period is one of rest, from
thirty to fifty; the sixth period is char
acterized by decrease in all dimen-
sions Of the body.-Penny Pictorial.

The first essential thing in selecting
q hat is to know what is becoming
to the wearer. Not only should one
look directly in the glass, but take
a hand glass and get n view of ali
sides, particularly the back. A hat
will sometimes look very well on the
face and be thoroughly unbecoming
to the profile, and what can be more
disenchanting to the observer.
Some hats look well only on certain
types of faces, and fortunate is the
woman who knows just what style
of hat suits her face.
Chiffon picture hats are universal
favorites, and one that attracted atten-
tion was of white pleated chiffon, with
lace medallions Of pale shade of ecru
around the rim. The crown, which
was perfectly fiat, consisted Of a
French pink rose about six inches in
, diameter.
A bow of black ribbon velvet, with
long ends and loops, finished the hat
at the back.-New York Journal.
