Our Y. M. 20. A., is meeting with
great success, but it is not vet ali that il
might be. They were highly enter
tanned with an address from Mr.. Jas.
Z. Chaftin. Subject: "God Is Just. :"
1t was masterly handled.
Let every young man and all Of the
old men join in TO make this a strong
fort for demolishing of the citadel of
vice and immortality.
The American Beneficial and Insur-
ance Company is making a wonderful
success here every which way you turn
It is The American. Well, it can not
be otherwise when such influence men
are leading it.
Mr., w. A. Millner the manager-re-
ported l745 persons are members here
in this small place. Not any of the
company's need suffer, DanviIle can
support all.
Our new and young pastor Rev. A. A.
CALVIN, b. D., has proven to be the
most powerful preacher and most jealous
working man the church has ever had.
When he took charge of the church she
was IN an awful condition, with and in
debtness of about $4,000 90. But TODAY
we are thankful to make known To the
public that we see the star of hope ris-
ing from behind the mountain of dis
couragement and disappointment. A
TACT that IN union there is strength.
We have cut the indebtedness down to
eooue $1,000, which we. can easily
manage.

Many Thanks.

To our many friends who have been
so liberal in their contributions to our
church, we extend our hearty thanks,
You have made it possible for us to con-
tinue our existance as we have been
able to pay the necessary $3.50. 90 as first
payment on our property.
We had anticipated reporting what
each person, society and church contri.
outed, We have reported the contri-
buttons from the churches, but the in
dlvlduals and society contributions came
from so many sources that we fear that
10 attempt this we would fail to give
due credit to all. AS you will readily
realize In so great an effort. We hope
that you will remember that ''inasmuch
asye have done it unto one of the least
OF these my brethren ye have done it
unto me, and that while we attempt to
thank you that your real reward will be
given you by Heaven.
God bless you-Thanking you again,
we remain the members Of the Leigh

The President: TT win be pleas
ure to me to hear any answer that you

Mr.. Baer: Il have prepared an an

Mr.. Baer's Statement.
The following Is the text OF Mr.

ITO the President OF the United

sired US to consider the offer os Mr.

Mitchell. whom you invited TO meet
you. is chief
"The constitution OF PensAxisania
guarantees protection TO life and

great TO be appeased by the civil
power occur the governor OF PennsyI-
vania is bound TO call out the state

Pennsylvania Is insufficient 70 re-es-
tablish the reign of law, the constitu-
ton of the United States requires the
president when requested by the

Under these conditions, we decline
to accept Mr.. MitcheIs considerate
offer TO let our men work on terms he
names. He has no right to come from
Illinois TO dictate terms on the ac-
ceptance Of which anarchy and crime
shall cease in Pennsylvania He must
stop his people from killing, manning

and from destroying property. He
must stop II, because 1t is unlawful.
and not because OF any bargain with
US"
No Dealings With Mitchell.
The president then asked the repre-
sentatives of the anthracite companies
whether they would accept Mr.. Mitch
ellis proposition They answered
mo" In response to further ques-
ton from the president they stated
that they would have no dealings with
Mr.. Mitchell looking toward a settle
ment OF the question at Issue, and
that they had no, other proposition To
make, save what was contained in the
statement Of Mr.. Baer, which In ef-
feet that If any man chose to resume
work and had a difficulty with his en-
ployer, both should leave the settle
ment Of the question TO the judge of
the court OF common pleas OF the dis
trict in which the mine was located.

MinecsE0pposed to Presidents Plan.
WilkeSbarre, Pa, Oct. S.-The two
principal features of the anthracite
coal strike which claim public atten-
tion IN the coal fields are, will the min.
ers yield to the desire of President
Roosevelt for them to return to work,
and investigate afterwards, and will
the mine operators be able to carry
out their promise to produce enough
coal to relieve the situation, If given
the protection of the full military
power OF the state. After a most
careful inquiry among the district off,
GERS and the rank and file of miners it
as found that sentiment is strongly
gainst accepting the presidents prop
sition IN its present form. AS to the
ther feature of the situation as It
xists opinion is divided and will re-
.1ain so until the real test comes.
Opinion seems divided as to the ef
feet the large force of soldiers in the
field will have on the mining of coal.
The operators and railroad company
officials contend that many miners
now in the ranks OF the strikers are
anxious to return to, work, and that
many will do so when they find they
will be amply protected from assault
by reason Of the presence OF the sol
diers
The striking miners, however, are
strong in their expressions of conf
dence that none of the strikers will
desert the ranks. They claim that
there will be even less coal sent to
the city market than has been the
case OF late. The coal that has been
shipped OF late, they assert, is the
product that was cut before the strike
and that has only recently been hoist
