into a power that will contend TO the

do they better the condition of the

"NIAN'S INHUMANITYv

The pathetic account of the death
OF prominent young lady in Ches-
terheld county, which appears on our
first page this week, will touch the
heart of all who read it. Slanderous
reports that were circulated tending
to besmirch her fair name SO worked
upon her mind that life became a
burden to her aud she determined to
end it, while her anonymous despoiler
is still roaming at large. Pity for
the fair young girl may we'll be sup
pressed by contempt for the vile per-
son whose depraved heart conceived
the scheme Of SANDER and vilifica-
ton. While everybody seems to
agree that this young lady's charac-

there were who were ready to give
circulation to the evil report that
was put out about her, thus making
another crime to be added to the
evils of SANDER and gossiping.

THE COAL SITUATION.
Operators Reject 0vertures-R oose
welt Disguised With Them.

The coal strike was not settled by
the conference called to meet at the
White House by President Roosevelt
last week, and settlement is yet some
time off. President Mitchell, of the
miners union, and all the big men
among the mine owners were there.
Mitchell's propositions appealed
strongly to all present, except the
coal operators, and will also, 1t is
thought, strongly appeal to the
country. The next step must come
from the coal operators, who are said
to have left the White House In
anything but an excellent frame of
mind.
President Roosevelt is more or
less exasperated with the apparent
effort of the coal operators to stave
of settlement, and is said to be in
mood not to stand much more
delay from them, his sympathies now
being with Mitchell, who was APP
parently anxious for settlement.
he seems determined to take action
of some sort to relieve the serious
situation that confronts the country.
What he will do will, in all proba-
bility, be to call an extra session of
Congress for the purpose of enactine
tariff legislation affecting coal. The
President has in his possession the
draught of an amendment to the
Dlngley bill repeating the tariff on
coal above 90 per cent. of fixed
cartoons. In addition to this he will
probably ask the lawyers of Congress
to devise means whereby the Federal
Government may, in event of another
such crisis, obtain control of the
mines until the differences between
the miners and operators can be set.
tied, 80 that the whole country NAV
not suffer from their quarrels.
President Roosevelt requested Mr..
Mitchell, president of the Mine
Workers Union, to use his influence
to induce the men to go to work with
the promise of the appointment of a
committee to investigate their griey-
ances and further promise that the
President will urge upon Congress
legislation in accordance with re-
commentator of that commission.
Mitchell rejected the proposition.
Governor Stone on Tuesday ordered
the Pennsylvania militia to the coal
fields, as the situation is critical since
the conference failed.
New York Democrats have
declared that the government should
seize the mines, as trustee for the
people. Hard coal has gone to nearly
$50 ton 10 that city, and soft coal
to $10. The school commissioner
predicts riots among the poor this
winter.
President Baer, the s'divine guar
dian" of the coal output, says people
need not get scared; that he will
have them plenty of coal before cold
weather sets in. Baer had been
counting on putting to work the
thousands of Slavs and Huns which
ne has imported, but as soon as they
found they were wanted to supply
strikers places they refused to work.

that women often indulge in over the

said that mass-meeting of fifty
ladies, who were prominent in relig.

made an appeal to the Judge to miti-
gate the sentence of one Wesley
Hicks, who was hung this week for
murder. 1t is to the credit of the
Judge that he listened in a dignified
manner to the appeal but peremp-
torlly rejected their petition. Their
zeal would have carried them to the

citizens of the county realized the
unsavoriness of their doings and
stopped the lady delegation.

SWEEPING RICHMOND CLEAN,

Selling whiskey or other LIQUORS

is going to stop if the police Judge

police court for having sold whiskey

declared with emotion: "Wbiskey

told them that he would give them
two days in which to dispose of
their stock and close out business.

RECENTLY the King George writer
Tor the Dispatch told of an albino
negro with pink eyes and feecy
locks, who had nearly reached the
age of one hundred years. With his
aiabaster complexion this white
negro must be a curiosity; but we
should say as much so from longev-
ity as from his being an albino. On
the border of Lancaster and Nor
cumberland counties there is a
settlement of negroes, scores of whom
are almost white, and for several
generations there has been coming

Four Brides In A Year.
Miss Edith Bartlett aud Mr.. Ar
thur w. Minor, both of Richmond
county. Va, were married Sunday
evening at the parsonage of Lee
Street Baptist church, Baltimore.
The wedding was the elimination of
romance which began years ago,
when both were children at home in
Virginia.
About two years ago Miss Bartlett,
who is daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. A. Bartlett, of Virginia, went to
Baltimore TO seek employment. Mr..
Minor followed not long afterward.
There the courtship was continued.
The wedding was very quiet and
only few intimate friends attended.
The bride wore a gown of steel
colored cloth, trimmed in white silk
and applique chiffon, and carried
bride roses. The couple will reside
at 1929 Block street, Baltimore.
Miss Bartlett has boarded at 4I2
hanover street, and is the fourth
lady to leave the place to become a
bride during the year.

1t is by true merit, and true merit

has won its wondrous popularity in

When all other medicines fail, when
the best directed efforts of physicians
accomplish but little for the banisl-

Celery Compound saves life and re-
stores health.
1t is natural, therefore, that men

should acquaint their friends the
sick and well-of what was accom-

have been spread from day to day to
