Scranton, Pa, November 17.-In the presence of as many persons as could be jammed into the superior court room today, Wayne MacVeagh, for the Erie company. and John Mitchell, for the miners. continued a brilliant bat tie of cross examination before the an thracite coal commission.
 The two men. the one in his thir- ties and the other in his seventies. were followed with intense interest by both the commissioners and the crowd throughout the day. and the contest will be resumed in the morning. The fourth demand of the union, which calls for a yearly trade agreement and which means a straight out recognition of the union. was the bone of conten- tion, and although four hours were taken up in the discussion of the ques- tion, not much material progress was made.
 MT. MacVeagh. skilled in the art of examine tion, attempted to show the utter Responsibility Of the union and its unfitness to make contracts which it could not live up to. His principal argument was the alleged boycott, and he often hard pressed the miners president for an answer. The latter, however, slowly and deliberately gave some reply, but it did not always satisfy his inquisitor
 MT. MacVeagh, in the present of the assemblage, expressed his admiration of the ability of the witness and on one occasion when MT. Mitchell parried question regarding the boycotting of a coal and iron policeman by a hotel keeper. the distinguished attorney threw up his hands, laughed, and said:
 MT. Mitchell, you are the best wit ness for yourself I ever confronted
 MT. McVeagh weighed heavily on what he said was a reign of terror in the anthracite region during the period of the strike. He read a list of four teen names of men who were killed during that time and also submitted in evidence about seventy-five printed pages of acts of alleged violence, boy Cott and intimidation and with the as- sistance of statistics and other docu- ments, maintained that it would be utterly impracticable for the coal con- panies he represented to enter into agreements with an organization that could not control it's own men.
 Mir. Mitchell stoutly maintained that discipline in the organization is as good as it possibly could be where 14T, ,OOU men are involved. He claimed that the strikers were not entirely to blame

for the acts of lawlessness that were committed. He regretted that mem bers of the union had in some instances violated the law, even after they had been warned to refrain from doing so. but he made the excuse that in times of great excitement there was always more or less disorder.
 In answer to questions he said that where there was a reign of terror, and has had no information that such was the case during the late strike, condi- tions arise that are "intolera ble" or unfortunate" Replying to specific in- stances pointed out to him by MT. Mac Veagh, where men had been deterred from going to work through fear of personal harm or social ostracism for themselves and families, MT. Mitchell said that in some cases men may have been deterred, but he denied the asser- tion that such alleged acts prevented the mines from being operated. He said that when the strike was declaISd every mine worker in the region quit work and remained out, even after the entire national guard of the state had been thrown into the coal fields. In short, he said, the men would not have gone to work under any conditions.
 The miners president, no matter how skillfully he was question, could not be drawn into a flat admission that he as president of the union, approved of the boycotts complained of by the companies. He had his personal opin- ions of some phases of the boycott. but would not express them as being a sentiment or policy of ---s organiza- tion.
 MacVeagh examined Mitchell regard ing the ShOur day and referred to the fact that Abraham Lincoln, J. A. Gar field and William Mckinley worked

REPUBLICANS
 IN COLORADO Divided as to Notification
 Ceremonies
A Fear That the Proposed Ratification Is Intended Only as an Expression in Favor of Former Senator Vol colt.

Denver, November 17.-Chairman D. B. Fairley, of the republican state cen tral committee. today issued an address to the republicans of Colorado regard ing the jollifcation arranged for tomor- row night in this city, and which he as the head of the state organization declared off some days ago. The Den yer organization denied his authority in the matter and declared that the af- fair should go forward.
 Chairman Fairley in his statement says Governor elect Peabody and the other speakers announced have with drawn from the programme, and adds:
 "The evidence is conclusive that while the said meeting is upon its face to be a celebration of the recent re- publican victory. it Is, in fact. a meet ing to further the candidacy of Hon. F.. O. Wolcott for United States sena- tor and it has been arranged to be packed SO as to appear an ovation to him personally.
 Ut was understood during the cam paign that MT. Wolcott was not to be considered as a factor, and that under standing was confirmed by his with drawal from the state and his failure to contribute his share of the expenses of the campaign. The ticket was elected on that basis, and whatever the legislature may eventually conclude to do, the state organization and those who participated in the campaign and won the victory feel that they cannot participate in the WOlcott demonstra- ton without violating the confidence of the people,"
 MT. Fairley says that a fitting cele- bratlon of the republican victory will be held on the occasion of Peabody's inauguration.

THE LOST CHILD.
A Dramatic Incident at an Ocean

Dramatic Incident at an Ocean
Grove Experience MeetIng.
1t had been an experience meeting
Ten thousand people were assembled
In the great auditorium by the sea.
There had been the handshake, the
waving Of handkerchiefs, the hymn,
the prayer, the word which told the
spiritual history Of many n soul.
The bishop stood upon the platform
in the act of pronouncing the bcnedic-
ton. Emotion was at its height. 1t
seemed as If n spiritual wave had
swept over the multitude, wrapping it
IN divine caress.
At that moment Il little child was
passed up to the platform, and the
bishop took it in his arms. Lost
child" were the whispered words. The
baby put its dimpled arms about the
bishops neck and laid its head upon
his shoulder, its yellow curls mingling
with his gray hair.
Lost child" said the bishop in his
deep, sympathetic voice. "Does any one
In the audience know this baby Or to
whom 1t belongs? VIII the father or
mother come and claim itf'
There was silence, and the baby ncs
tied closer. and the women who sat
near said, "Oh"
Then a man was seen making his
way to the altar. 1t was the baby's ia
ther. Instantly the child stretched out
its arms to go to him. Then as he gave
It up the bishop said:
There are 10000 lost souls in Ocean
Grove The Fathers arms are waiting
to receive them. So go to your Fa-
ther's outstretched arms as has this
little child. d."-Detroit Free Press.

One Thing and Another,

More attention should be given to the
quality Of production in pork than in
all other kinds of meat.
Good blood In the herd and proper
food supply mean satisfaction in hog
raising.
If results obtained at the Geneva On.
~ station are an index to the behavior
OF sugar beets in general, it is thought
that there need be no fear Of injury to
their quality by the use of moderate
or even liberal quantity of manure
either in fall or spring.
Alfalfa, in common with other crops
Of its class, has the power Of acquiring
nitrogen from the air.

Where much entertaining is done,

ciOus Sally Lunn after the following

One-half cup Of butter and lard mixed,

beaten separately, will be required for
these, although two may be made to
serve. To one quart Of sweet milk add
four tablespoonfuls of melted butter,
saltspoonful of salt, the yolks Of the
eggs and two generous teaspoonfuls of
baking powder mixed with two pints
of sifted -four. When this has been

FLOWER AND TREE.

Heavy pruning of growing trees will
check growth.
Flowering plants should never be
watCred with cold water. 1t chills the
plants.
The Madeira vine is one of the best
climbers, having n wreath of leaves
equalcd by few other plants.
Reporting of plants becomes necessa-
ry at intervals for two reasons. The
plant uses up the available fertility IN
the soil and fills the pots with roots.
The ink plant Of New Granada is a
curiosity. The juice of it can be used
as ink without any preparation. At
first the writing is red, but after few
hours it changes to black.
In watering the primrose observe
this: Water should not be poured upon
the crown of the plant nor the pot filled
SO full that the water flows over into
It, This is fatal to the health of the
plant.

the ends of the twigs into a strong tea
made by sleeping tobacco stems in hot
water or syringe with whale oil soap
suds repeating the operation in six or
seven days.

PET DOG WASHERS.
She Queer Trnde That FIOurishes Ia
the French Capital.

AS you walk along certain parts Of
Paris your attention is sometimes at
tracted 10y the barking of dog, and
on such an occasion one Of the queer
est OF the outdoor trades of Paris is
seen. Near the waters edge, his black
coat flecked thickly with soapsuds,
stands the dog and over him, en-
ergctically shampooing the soap into
the long, hairy coat, stands one of the
professional dog washers who haunt
the banks Of the Seine at stated spots
from the Pont d'Icna to the Pont Neuf.
These men lather and wash pet dogs
while their owners look on from con
venicntly placed chairs. The fees range
from ; sous to frame. When the soap
ing operation is completed, the dog is
dropped into the river and encouraged
to get rid Of the dirt and soap by a
swim.
Sometimes the pet will swim straight
out, while the fair owner is in agonies
of fear lest some swiftly passing
steamer should strike it and end its
bathing and swimming days forever.
On more than one occasion the dog
washer has been driven to plunge in
and rescue the bewildered animal lest
the infuriated owner should claim com
pensatiOn for his carelessness. With
some Parisiennes this weekly pet
washing is n ceremony of importance.
The dainty lady, alighting from her
smart victoria, goes down the steps to
the washing place chosen, preceded by
her foOtman carrying or leading the
dog, as the case may be, and then,
seated under q sunshade, she directs
the toilet of Fiji or Nero with tender
solicitude. The toilet des chiens at the
fashionable spots includes warm, fleecy
towels, q peignoir de balm while the
dogs hair is being curled, combed,
singed or cut, and length Of ribbon Of
q selected color to tie round its neck at
