STATUS OF THE STRIKE.

II HE FIFTEENTH week Of the an
thacite coal strike opens with con-
ditions practically unchanged No an
thracite coal is being mined or shipped.
and none is likely to be mined or
shipped for an indefinite period The
supply OF this form of fuel, even at the
exorbitant figures which the operators
have been charging Cor their dwindling
stocks. is about exhausted. With the
cooler weather which is sure to come
within the next few weeks, the cOndi-
lions in the larger cities of the east
viii be very grave.
II Is true that they can use soft coal,
but the furnaces in many Of the large
buildings and factories are built for
hard coal, 10 comply with the anti
smoke regulations. and it will be very
difficult for them TO use the bituminOus
product More. IT may be hard to get
enough soft coal to meet the extra
ordinary demand that will be caused
by the anthracite famine.
Semi officially it is stated that the
operators have now reached the point
where they would be willing to con-
cede something in the wage line, but
they viii not recognize the United
Mine Workers as an organization.
This fight is not a question Of whether
or not wages should be advanced" one
of them is quoted as saying. but
whether or not the union shall be per-
mitted to exist We are determined to
break the union. no matter how long
IL takes"
The operators thought eight weeks
ago that their task would be easy.
II they are men Of reasonable Judgment
they don't think so today. They have
reaped a golden harvest so far. The
increased cost of anthracite coal has
gone into their pockets. and the aggre-
Of thousands. That is all clear profit
TO the operators. Now their day of
reckoning has arrived.
With no coal t, eel at any figure,
the operators must begin losing money.
Another consideration is the near ap-
proach OF the congressional elections.
In n little more than two months the
country Will decide whether or not the
next house is to be Democratic or Re
publican. The anthracite strike is not
going to help the Republican party in
Pennsy lvania or the nation. If it is
settled quickly it may give the voters
time 10 forget. but unless it is settled
quickly there isn't going TO be time 20
do anything but remember.

a GOOD JAIL RULE.

d ECAUSE so MANY WOMEN Wis
- tied the Jail with flowers and other
delicacies for two condemned murder
ers. Pennsylvania jailer has found it
necessary TO deny admission to all
women unless they can show ties OF
blood relationship or some other reason
equally az good. Day Jailer Thomas.
who has charge OF Salt Lake county $
jail. has Instituted a similar rule.
For DAYS without number morbid
women have been in the habit of Wis
iting the Jail frequently with flowers
for Peter Mortensen and other prison
ers. Mortensen is a convicted muir
derer. convicted in both a court of
law and in the court OF public opinion
He is entitled to all the protection the
law can throw around him, but he is
entitled to nothing more.
II certain women, and fortunately
there are only few such. are so lost
TO ali sense of the obligations that they
owe to their families and to society
that they want to give flowers to Nor
Jensen and his kind, they should be
forcfbly prevented from doing so. Flow
ers are very beautiful by a sick bed.
they improve the appearance of any
room. they hide from view the bare
clods that cover graves. but they
are out of place in q prison.
There is no excuse which prompts
such displays as Jailer Thomas has felt
1t his plain duty 10 prevent. One can
understand why a relative or a close
friend, believing in the innocence of
another in prison. should want to
tighten his burden. But it is hard to
understand why women who have no
interest in a felon. other than a morbid
interest. should want TO imprison Gods
flowers in the gloomy vaults OF a Jail.
Such proceedings tend to gIorify
crime and TO defy criminals. They
have no place in an enlightened COM
munity, and The Herald hopes that
the practice viii continue TO be dis
ccuraged by Jailer Thomas and his
brother officers.

DEFENSE OF THE ONION.
''The Rose Among Roots" Finds Its
Champion.

The onion is one of those strenuous
vegetables about which one cannot be
Indifferent. One either yearns for it
with "a passionate longing or else Ut
teriy repudiates il and everybody who
mas any trafficking with it. If one
never had to take ones onions at Sec
Ond hand, il would not be so bad If
the law would only set apart one day
a week for the consumption of onions
and forbid ii under penalty of fine and
imprisonment - preferably imprison-
ment-at ali times, it would be a boon
10 the world. The onion hater would
at least know when to take to the
woods and how long TO stay there.
As for banishing the onion from the
kitchen, that would be crime There
have been poets who have sung its
praises, but perhaps some of the prose
rhapsOdies are just as eloquent. For
instance If you want to crush your
nelShbor who regards your dish OF
onions with a supercilious eye, Just ask
him if he knows that the onion. is
called the rose among roots" Ask
him if he knows that without il there
would be no gastronomic art: thar
its presence lends color and enchant-
ment 20 the most modest dish. its an
sence reduces the rarest dainty 10
hopeless insipidity and the diner to de-
spair-" IL is quite possible that your
naughty neighbor may decline TO fol-
low this hint and may show signs of
being plunged into despair pending the
addition of onions to his own nenu-
The anti-Onionist is a stiff-necked
party.

scHwA5's. RETIREMENT.

IT Is ANNOUNCED as coming from
authoritative sources that Charles
NJ. Schwab is TO retire at once from
The presidency nf the United states
steel corporation. The report attributes
Mr.. Schwats retirement to IN health,
and contains the announcement that
he viii straightway seek some secluded
spot abroad where he win rest until
his recovery is complete.
Little surprise viii be caused among
those who have kept track of Mr..
Schwab's career by the story of his
withdrawal. 1t is probable that he is
a sick man. but IL is not probable that
illness alone has caused him to retire.
The truth is that President Schwab
has been somewhat out of his depth in
recent months AS an iron master he
was a conspicuous success. He knew
how 10 make the hest steel for the least
amount of money; ne knew how to get
the greatest possible amount of work

How the Great Lawyer Won a Hope
less Case

Mr.. James SanduSky, who is an old
and well known traveller, and who has
recently settled in Chicago, while COM
ing in from Pewee valley on the cleo
trio line yesterday afternoon told an
interesting story about Henry Clay the
great Kentucky statesman Mr. San
dusky in his youth lived in Mr.. Clay's
district during the time when Henry
Clay VAS at his prime as a lawyer.
A man was once being tried for
murder said Mr. Sandusky, land his
case looked hopeless indeed. He had
without any seeming prOVOcation muir
dered one Of his neighbors in cold
blood. Not a lawyer in the county
would touch the case. 1t looked bad
enough to ruin the reputation of any
barrister.
The man. as a last extremity. ap-
Dealed to Mr.. Clay to take the case for
him. Every one thought that Clay
would certainly refuse. But when the
celebrated lawyer looked into the mat
ter his fighting blood was reused. and.
to the great surprise of all. he ac-
cepted.
.'Then came a trial. the like of which
have never seen Clay slowly carried
on the case, and il looked more and
more hopeless The only ground of de-
Tense the prisoner had was that the
murdered man had looked at him with
such neTce, murderOuS look that out
of self defense he had struck first. A
ripple passed through the jury at this
evidence.
THE time came for Clay to make his
defense. II was settled in the minds
of spectators that the man was guilty
Of murder in the first degree. Clay
calmly proceeded, laid all the proof
before them in his mastery way. Then.
just as he was about to conclude, he
played his last and master card.
:" Gentlemen of the jury" he said.
assuming the fiercest, blacklist look
and carrying the most undying hatred
in it that | have ever seen, gentle
men, if d man should look at you like
this what would you do?'
THAT was all he said, but that was
enough. The jury was startled and
some even quailed on their seats The
judge moved uneasily on his bench
After fifteen minutes. the jury filed
slowly back with Not guilty, your
honor The victory was complete.
when Clay was congratulated on
his easy victory, he said:
1T was not so easy as you think.
I spent days and days in my room be-
fore the mirror practicing that look.
II took more hard work to give that
look than to investigate the most OBJ
fuse case !"

HYPNOTIC CURES.
Result of Experiments in an English
Insane Asylum

tLO4QOn t1uSliNdA-J
In a lecture delivered before the
Kings College Medical society, Dr.
Milne BramweH gave an interesting
sketch of the subject of hypnotisrn- De-
seribing the experiments Of Florel who.
till recently, was medical director OF
the Burgholi asylum and one or the
professors of the University OF Zurich,
he said that he succeeded in hypno--
thing nearly all his asylum attendants
both male and female, large propOr-
ton of them becoming profound SOM
nambules. For ten years experiments
were made IN regard TO the use OF
hypnotism in the night watching or
dangerous lunatics. Warders were hyP-
Noticed and trained TO sleep by the
bedside of these patients and TO awake
the instant they heard them attempt
TO get out OF bed, the hypnotic suS-
gestion being made use or 10 nhlDiI
all sounds which had no reference 10
the duty laid upon them. and it was
found that warders so hypnotized could
perform night duty for six months and
work hard all day without showing
signs of fatigue The results OF these
experiments We're, IL is said, uniformly
successful. and no accident Of any kind
occurred.
In regard to this and other apph-
cations of hypnotiSm, DR., Bramwell
refers ~ the HiSlflUQ u w SNACA eSAANs
who, instead of restricting himself TO
suggestions made in the course OF a
short hypnotic trance, advocated the
use of the curative effects Of prolonged
hypnotic sleep. WetteFstrand treated
epilepsy and grave forms of nervous
disorder by keeping the patients in the
hypnotic trance for three or four weeks
Without rousing them patients were
fed at stated intervals, and the action
of the bowels and bladder were regu-
lated by suggestion and thus mental
as we'll as physical rest was given. in
addition to such therapeutic adyan-
tages as might be gained by the aid
of suggestion.
DIR. Milne BramWen says that. al
though every one cannot be deeply hyp-
sary for the successful employment of
suggestion. and the number Of persons
insusceptibIe in some degree of hypnotic
infiuthce is extremely small. Among
other disease he gives the following as
those in which hypnotism has given
good results: "Hysteria. neurasthenia,
dipsomania and other drug habits, OBJ
sessions, moral perversities and nerv-
Gus tricks in children" We may add
that, as far as the treatment of dipso-
mania is concerned, il seems not en-
tirely impossible that some of the start
ling results which are said to have been
obtained at certain institutions for the
treatment of this condition may have
been the outcome of an unacknowledged
but none the less effectual application

MINISTER'S SONS.

A n ORGANIZATION called The So
Il ciety Of the Sons of Ministers has
recently concluded its annual session in
the city of Glasgow. One of the top
les for discussion was. DO a large por-
ton Of the sens OF ministers not turn
out as well as the sons of other peO-
ple?'' Rev James. ID. Mitchell made
a very strong argument, and presented
facts to show that ministers sons turn
out quite as we'll as the sons of lay
men.
IL is a very common saying that the
worst young men in the world are sons
of ministers There is shadow of
foundation for the saying, too. Preach
ers' boys labor under a handicap
What would be considered merely an
Outburst of boyish spirits in the Ordi-
nary lad becomes a crime when commit
ted by the minister's son. He is sup
posed to be an example TO the youth
of the community as his father is an
| example to the adult population.
| So the boy is placed in a hard posi-
ton from the time he is able to walk.
He is nagged at and corrected and re-
! proved and punished until life for him
is a dreaFy round of Sunday clothes
and correct table manners. AS he
grows older and sees the boys with
whom he has been raised disporting
/ themselves after methods which
have been forbidden to him, it is but
natural that he lets go all holds and
celebrates his freedom with the best,
or the worst, of them.
After all. though, the Maynard min
| listers son is not more numerous than
other hayward sons. He attracts more
attention by his waywardness, that's
| all. The son of a preacher who Is a
good son gets absolutely no credit for
it. He is only acting as he is expect
! ed TO act, although he must encounter
the same temptations as other young
men encounter. When ne falls the
crash is heard far beyond the circle of
his acquaintance and the sneering cry
/ goes up to heaven: why is it that
ministers sons are always bad?"
oliver Wendell Holmes was the son
of minister. Grover Cleveland
father was a minister So was the
father of Robert C. Ingersoll, concern
ing whose value to the world there
are wide differences of opinion. The
list might be extended almost indetin-
itely and it will be found that minis
ters' sons average up fully as well and
in a large proportion of cases very
much higher than the sons of other
men.

a view TO selling his steel works TO the
trust he made one condition. That was
that Charlie Sehwab be placed at the
head of the mammoth combination
Schwab had grown up under Carnegie,
and the older man had every confidence
in his ability But under Carnegie.
Schwab was only required to make iron
and steel. He never had TO form al
liances with other plants; he was never
called upon to meet men of millions on
their own ground and to beat them in
the game Of finance. The trust was SO
anxious to own the Carnegie plants
that it assented to the Schwab condi-
tion.
At once. ne was thrown into a new
environment Instead of men, Schwab
was called upon TO handle dollars. De-
tails about bond issues did not find as
firm Judgment in his mind as details
about the disposition Of Stag and the
amount OF fuel IL takes 10 make a steel
rail. He was continued at the head Of
affairs this long because of the Car
negie influence. He was entitled TO his
chance and he was given it.
Another trouble with Mr.. Schwab
was that he talked too much. He liked
to tell things about the United States
Steel corporation. Every little while
he gave out statement about its mag
nitude, its enormous profits, its reduc-
tion Of operating expenses. The mag
mates have been restless under Mr..
Schwab's ioquacity, for they are men
who don't like for the world to know
what they are doing.
And there may be something signih-
cant I'm the fact that the announcement
of Mr.. Schwab's retirement on the
score of in health comes so soon after
