MiiChells View of It.

WlLKEsBARRE, PA. September s.
z l.. Lewis, ice-president of the Mine
Workers, arrived here tonight from Nir-
sinia and had a conference with Mitchell.
He Will return South Tomorrow. Mr..
Mitchell said Mr.. Lewis visit was with
reference to the strike in Virginia.
President Mitchell says seven hundred
men are affected by the settlement of the
strike in the Pocahontas coal region. They
were granted a semi-monthly pay day.
which the chief officer of the United Mine
Workers thinks is a very important con
cession. About 20,0o0 miners are still out
in the Kanawha, New River and Fair
mount Districts
So far as the anthracite region is CON
cerned President Mitchell says there is
no change in the situation. The district
officers report that the strikers are re-
naming firm. AT the offices of the coal
companies it is claimed that the number
OF applicants for work is increasing every
day, and that the output from the wash
cries and mines in operation this week
will be the largest since the strike began.

COMING HOME AT NIGHT.

The wide-thrown door-a flood of lamplight
through;
a,e touch of hands and lips, the words are
.sw;
uoman's upturned face and her glad
r,ot thrill a welcomee to him tenderwise;
4 voice that holds for him the old delight
Her clinging arms-When he comes home
at night.
THE snowy little table simply spread.
The gurgling, singing kettle: on the mat
Ensconced in loud content, the old house
cat
The lamplghts radiance on womans
head,
And prodigally over all, the beam
OF his own fireside with its cheerful gleam; ;
A chId's shrill voice in welcome lifted high,
romp in ough-and-tumble, hearty
style,
The drooping lids and white crib by and
by,
A usping voice protesting all the while;
4 little sleeping form-and bent above,
Her brooding face, alight with mother
love.
O heart that works and at its working
sings.
O YOU who have such store of homely
things,
And homely joys that seem to you so small
There is not one that you would sell of all
For any prlce, or deed away the right
To what is yours-when you come home at
night

Too Much for the Sheriff,

An Irish widow with quick wit one
day received a call from sheriff who
had writ to serve on her. The widow
saved the day by some rapidfre court
ing which took the sheriff by surprise
when he called at her house, and began
in formal fashion:
Madam, have an attachment for
you."
"My dear SIR" she said, blushing,
"your attachment is reciprocated."
'You don't understand me. You
must proceed to court" said the sher-
if.
''.Well, I konw tits leap year, but !
prefer to let you do the counting your
self. Men are much better at that
than women"
''Mrs. Phelan, this is no time for fool
ing. The justice is waiting"
"The justice waiting! Well, then, !
suppose I must go, but the thing is so
sudden, and, besides, I'd prefer priest
to do 1.-THE Pilot.

STATUE OF GARIBALDI.
One of Heroic Size Will Grace Prom
fnent Spot in Paris at an
Early Day.

1t is announced that as one of the
results of the Franco-1tal,an rap
prochement a statue of Garibaldi, the
Italian liberator, will shortly be erect
ed in Paris. Several years ago SINH
lar project was started by the Partisan
press and about $4,000 francs were col
lected. This sum was considered in
sufficient and, moreover, the relations
between France and Italy cooled the
enthusiasm of the subscribers. NJ.
Raqueni. the general secretary of the
Franco-Italian league, states that the
Paris town council will probably re-
ceiye a .deputation from his commit
tee, who will ask for subvention. NJ.
Auben, pupil of Falguiere, may be the
sculptor. 1t is proposed to give fete
in honor of Garibaldi very soon.

pale.
"And that little beggar will sit by

Il should care very much," l said,

culiar tone.

Didn't what?" I asked.
"Care-for mel"
She tried to draw away, but I tight
ened my arm. also whispered some
thing in her ear.
"You-you really do, Jack?"
Her ear was not far distant, so
whispered again. Then 1 drew her to
me, and looked full in her eyes. They
fairly glittered.
1t was late when took my leave.
When little way down the street
l remembered l had not given my
cousin the ring, SO turned back.
She was still sitting by the fire. To
my astonishment, she was crying
softly. Her tears fell upon some
thing which lay in her lap; it was an
opera ticket.
Good gracious!" she cried; "you
startled mel"
l explained the reason of my re-
turn.
"You dear old Jack!" she whis-
pered, with her arms round my neck.
| Then she laughed.
You see, dear, l suddenly remem-
bered l had promised Bo-Mr. Griffin,
would go. 1t is awful to break a
promise, you know!'
Which incident shows that nv
Cousin Fanny is very conscientious
girl, and likely to make me good
wife. She may be blundering diplo-
matist, and have no head for schem-
ing, but she has good points, has
Fan. Besides, it isn't at all neces-
sary for a fellow to marry clever
woman-especially when he is up to
a thing or two himself, you know

Under the laws Of Louisiana, the
farmer who purchases either CONNER
cial fertilizers for manuring his lands
or Paris green for destroying the
noxious insects which consume his
growing crops Is amply protected.
Bulletin No. IS Of the state agricul.
tural experiment station should
be read by all. The bul
Ietin not only furnishes q great many
valuable hints as to what kinds Of
fertilizers are peculiarly adapted to
the soils of the state, thus giving the
farmer q basis upon which be can
inteligently make his purchases to
meet his particular wants, but it gives
q full list OF the different samples
analyzed by the station chemists
during the past year. While the
station Is not required under the law
to work for private persons. yet all
samples sent in by individual citizens
are analyzed free of charge, provided
the mesns of the station will permit
and that IN the discretion of the
director such analyses will be con.
duclve to the public welfare. The
farmer is thus put IN position to
know exactly whether bis purchases
are what they are represented to be
by the seller or manufacturer; in
other words, that he is not being
swindled by having some inferior
article palmed of on him. How
much the farmers Of the state appre.
ciate this privilege is shown by the
fact that no less than 2,510 samples
of fertilizers passed through the
Laboratories during the past year,
and in addition some 140 samples 0i
Paris green were passed on by ths
chemists. This is q great amount oi

cal Subdivisions of the County
ELECTION IN ERATH COUNTY WAS VOID
Because Of the Attempt to Exclude !
Part Of Thurber Theretrem--The
Decision Was Final.

Fort Worth, TEXAS, November s.--The
court Of civil appeals handed down a very
Important opinion today relating to local
option elections and constituting the rights
OF tho commissioners courts to arbitrarily
carve out subdivisions OF county IN which
such elections may be held. The question
arose In the Erath county local option
case, styled Abe T. Oxford against l. n.
Frank, county Judge, and others. Suit was
brought by the former to contest the
validity Of local option election held in
March, in which part OF the Thurber vot-
Ing precinct was to be excluded from the
territory to be affected by the election. In
substance. the opinion held that the com
missioners court had no discretion In the
matter, but was required to conform to
the statute Of 1897. The court held the
district court had full power to declare
the election void. The opinion IS regarded
as verdict for the Observation-Disclosures,
prohibiting as 1t does arbitrary action on
the part OF commissioners courts In carv-
ing out certain territories contrary to the
express legislative enactment OF the sub
ject. The decision is final, no appeal lying
