and Clark the seats to the right of him
in the order named, while General Will.
son, Bishop Spalding and Parker sat
on the left in the order Of their names.
The proceedings covered about two
hours time, and were given up entire
" to a discussion of the time and
method of proceeding with the pro-
posed investigation.
Will First Go Over the Ground.
The commission decided to begin it's
work next Thursday at a. NJ, the
first days of the investigation to be
devoted to a physical examination Of
the mines and the homes of the min
ers, starting in the vicinity of Scran-
ton. The entire anthracite field will
be covered. There was considerable
discussion over proposition made by
the commission to have expert ac-
countants appointed to audit the state
ments Of wages and classification Of
miners to be made by the operators for
suit was reached on this point beyond
the announcement by the chairman of
the commissions intention to appoint
such an accountant in case his serv-
ices should be found necessary.
Basis of the Miners Demands.
During the progress of the meeting
Mitchell, as the representative of the
miners, presented a copy of the orig
inal declaration of the miners, as
formulated by the Shamokin conven-.
ton as the basis of the demands Of
the miners. This demand is-frst, for
an increase of 20 per cent. in wages
of those not engaged by the day; Sec
ond, reduction of 20 per cent. in
working hours of those engaged by the
day; third, the payment for coal mined
by weight at a minimum rate of 60
cents per ton of 2,24O pounds; fourth,
a wage agreement between the opera
tors and the miners for an adjustment
Of wages.
Baer's Objections to Mitchell
Baer, on the part of the coal OPP
orators, took exception to Mitchell's
appearance before the commission as
representative of the United Mine
Workers, but said that he had no OBJ
lection to his presence as represen-
tative of the strikers, as such, in their
individual capacity. The commission
made no attempt to settle the contro-
versy, but it was made apparent that
the recognition of the miners union
will be an important and knotty prob
lem for the arbitrators. Mitchell stated
that he was here as the representative
of the anthracite miners solely.

Painful Accident.

Last Saturday morning as Miss
Alice Hoke of this place was do
ing her morning work, it occurred
to her that the lamp burners
ought to be cleansed. To do this
she filled a quart tin molasses
can with water and ashes, put in
to this the burners, closed the
can with one of those friction
caps, and placed it on the stove to
boil. When she thought the bur-
ners had been cooked enough,
she took knife 10 pry the cap
off, and the moment she touched
it, the cap flew off aud the pent
up steam, ashes and water escap
ed with great force striking her
full in the face scalding her most
painfully. Both eyes have been
closed since, save as her physician
has opened them for examination.
1t is to be hoped that the sight
may not be injured seriously.

FOoIing the Hens.

We received, few days ago,
two copies of the Transcription g.
page paper published at New
Rockford, Mort Dakota. From
the label on the paper, we sus-
pect it was sent by Mrs. Rebecca
Lake, formely of Belfast township,
this county. Failing to find any
thing especially marked, we ven
ture to give the following taken
from the paper which may be of
value to some of our readers in
view of the high price eggs are
bringing. Itsays that a man in the
northern part Of Dakota is raising
chickens and obtaining money un-
der false pretense. He made
his coop air tight and put cur
tains at the windows. At noon
he draws the curtains making
the hen house perfectly dark, so
that the biddies go to roost, and
at one o'clock he raises the cur.
tains, letting the light in. The
hens think another day has dawn,
ed. and proceed to lay another
egg. 1t is a dark mean trick,
equal to the man who put green
spectacles on his horse and then
fattened it on rye straw. The
green spectacles made the poor
horse think it was hay.

Another Set OF Rules.

A set of rules for young men
to follow are those laid down by a
man who built an immense bu j.
ness, the ramifications of which
extended all over the United
States. They will bear perusal,
and are as follows:
Keep good company or none.
Never be idle.
If your hands cannot be use
fully employed, attend to the cul.
tivation of your mind.
Away speak the truth. Make
few promises.
Live up to your engagements.
Keep your own secrets, if you
have any.
When you speak to a person
look him in the face.
Good company and good con-
versation are the very sinews of
virtue.
Good character is above all
things else.
Your character cannot be es.
sentially injured except by your
own acts.
If any one speaks evil of you
let your life be so that none will
believe him.
Drink no intoxicating liquors.
Eve, live (misfortunes except
ed) within your income.
When YOU retire to bed think
over what you have done during
the day.
Make no haste to be rich if you
would prosper.
Small and steady gains give
competency, with tranquility of
mind.
Never play any game of chance.
Avoid temptation, through fear
you may not withstand it.
Earn money before you spend
it.
Never run in debt unless you
see way to get out again.
Never borrow, if you can posi-
bly, avoid it.
Do not marry until you are able
to support wife.
Never speak i'll of any one.
Be just before you are gener.
Gus.
Keep yourself innocent if you
would be happy.
Save when you are young, and
spend when you are old.
Read the above maxims at least
once a week.-Chicago Journal.
