Speaking of events in. Colombia, he
said:
If our troops can conquer in the
isthmus of Panama we shall be able
to make much better progress against
the conservative forces. We have many
armed men in the CASHMERE and San
Martin territories in the Magdelene
provinces. If we had Panama we
would be able to raise sufficient funds
to end the war in our favor. At pres

Bramwell, w. Va, June 16.-Sev-
eral hundred more strikers returned
to work today in the Flat Top and Tug

heavily armed, left Simmons, where
there are three c%ollieries, and started
on a march to Pocahontas. They al

WISE COURSE WAS PURSUED
SECRETARY ROOT WILLING TO
SHOULDER RESPONSIBILITY.
Says Payment Of Money to Gomez
Was Legal and Dictated by
Good statesmanship.

Washington, June 16.-Secretary
Root has assumed full responsibility
for the payment of the money to Gen
eral Gomez by General Wood, during
the occupation of Cuba, and If con-
gress asks for an explanation of the
matter he stands prepared to furnish
what he regards as the most ~convinc-
ing proofs that the payments were
dictated by the wisest craftsmanship.
At the war department a high Of
fetal stated the position of the depart
men in the matter as follows:
"The conditions in Cuba two years
ago were precarious. There was not
a Cuban who believed that the Unit
ed States government would ever
withdraw from Cuba and the half
famished veterans of the Cuban army
were in a dangerous mood and clam
oring for their pay.
General Gomez was the head and
front of their army and had served the
revolutionary cause as it's principal
leader without having received a cent
of pay.
General Wood thought, and Secre-
tary Root though afterwards, that Gen.
eral Gomez was entitled to compensa-
ton; to a home, which was supplied
him, and in which he entertained his
comrades, and to an income, which
last might be set down as a small off
set to the money due to Gomez from
the Cuban republic.
"That the Cubans themselves re-
garded the matter in the same light
was shown by the passage by the pres
emit Cuban congress among the very
first of its acts, of a bill providing a
liberal pension for General Gomez. It
is believed that for this assumption of
the cost of Gomez's living expenses,
the conditions in Cuba must have par
alleled those in the Philippines, and
the United States government, after
fighting Spain to secure freedom for
the Cubans, might have been obliged
to turn on them the force OF her army.
"The necessity being present, in
Secretary Roots view, the only other
point was the legality and propriety
of the payments. He soon satisfied
himself that there was not the slight
est doubt on that score. The military
governor was obliged to assume re-
sponsibility for his disbursements and
to exercise his discretion. General
Brooke did this; after him General
Wood and Secretary Root now fully
approves of everything they did, in
Guiding the payments of Gomez"
It is pointed out at the wal depart
ment as a curious fact that congress
has been in full possession of the in
formation that Gomez has been re-
ceiving those payments for no less
than two years past. The war depart
ment that far back submitted to con-
gress the full statement of all ex-
penses in Cuba and included in the
list was a statement of the payment
to Gomez.

Fire Bosses Are Out.

Scranton, Pa, June 16.-Nearly 100
fire bosses in the mines in the Lacka-
wanna region refused to make the us
ual inspections today in compliance
with an order from strike headquar-
tiers asking them to quit and thus a s
sist the strikers in winning their fight.
This is claimed to be more than half
the force of these workmen in this
region and the result cannot be other
wise than disastrous to the mining
property, for with the accumulation
of gas, pump runners cannot keep at
work. There is also the dangers of
explosions which only the greatest pre-
cautions can provide against. Those
fire bosses who did not quit today are
confidently expected to- do SO tomor-
row.. The companies will find it i'm
possible to fill the places of these
men as it requires much experience to
become expert in this work.
Robinson, the Delaware and Hud-
son deputy, who was shot through the
right lung at Oliphant late Saturday
night by some unknown person alleged
to be a striker, is still alive with the
chances against him. The company
offered $1,000 reward for the arrest
and conviction of his a%ssailant.

HOMEMADE PURE AIR.

A Philadelphia inventor has intro duced the genuine product, which is claimed to be beneficial for persons with lung or throat trouble. His ob. Ject IS to bring the balm-healing pine woods to the patient when the pa- tient cannot go to the woods. The apparatus acts on the principle of a heating furnace. Inside the furnace layers of pine wood are alternated with layers of slow-burning mate rial. When the fire is introduced and the furnace closed the mass smolders for weeks at time. The vapors emanating from the burning pine are caught in tank, cleansed thoroughly and the purified vapor is conducted through pipes to rooms all over the building. The vapor is said to have an invigorating effect on those who inhale it and seems to have all the qualities of the air from the pine for est. In purifying the vapor a liquid is obtained which is said to be very healing.

len c. Hinckley, as Will Scarlett, and George B. Frothingham, as Friar Tuck, all old acquaintances, and all still meeting with success. Among the la dies were Grace Van Studdiford, to whom was entrusted the role of Maid Marian. How well her work was per formed was attested by the numerous encores she received for her singing and acting. She is a hard worker and at times it looked as if the strain would be too much, but Miss Studdl- ford was equal to all demands, and her rendition of her solos, duets, etc, was one of the gems of the evening. Another young lady who scored a de- cided triumph was Adele Rafter in the character of Alan-a-Dale. Her voice blended beautifully with her male com panions and her solo work was more than pleasing and received deserved recognition. May Lutz as Lady Vivian also pleased the audience with her singing The chorus was well balanced and sang sweetly, and altogether 1t was an entertainment that pleased about everybody present.

aoUINCY ADAMS SAWYER. ,,

The fine scenic production of ''Quin- cy Adams Sawyer" will be seen at Polls on Monday evening, and should prove popular. Good judgment has been shown in not rushing the ard matization of Quincy Adams Sawyer" on the stage too quickly. This famous novel, so familiarly known from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and in Eng land, as ''the best New England story ever written,'' was brought out over 8 year ago, and while it's immediate success and wide sale all over this country was sufficient to have warrant ed placing on the stage last season, the management has wisely waited. In the meantime the book has been SC :. ing steadily and has a record now of over 100000 copies in this country, to say nothing of the large sale in Eng land. Charles Dickson, an actor known for years as a leading star heads the cast, which is good one throughout. Seats go on sale to-mor- row at 25, 35, 50, 75 cents and $I.

church. Wrangling voices mingled in wild paths and bluffery.
 Then the congregation stood up and began to sing. Onward, Onward, Christian Soldier,'' was the hymn. Louder and louder the organ pealed, and the members of the congrega- tion, from the pastor to the amen corner, sang. But over all the prayer and the adoration and the obla- tion of the music and the song arose the jeer and the derision of gang of hoodlums on the outside.
 Onward, Onward, Christian Sol dier," repeated the chorus in the hymn. And just then the prayer was answered.
 There was a Christian soldier' within hearing, and he went to war on the strength of the summons to arms. He charged among the row. dies with drawn pistol leveled at their heads.
 Now, forward march," he sang out, cool as cucumber.
 You drop if you run!" he shouted, as the gang started to break away. He who spoke was Constable William Hart. of Connellsville township.
 Like set of meek converts the hood1ums stood huddled before the pistol.
 Now, into church, commanded Hart. And into church, marching be- fore the leveled pistol, the gang marched. They took their pews sol emnly, and remained to hear the service to the end.
 ''I guess little prayin' and singin' didn't hurt them any" Hart said to the pastor of the flock after the ben ediction.

It is not often that the hood1ums of to-day are driven into church on Sunday at the point of the revolver, but such was the occurrence at the little house of worship at Gibson, at the foot of the Chestnut Ridge, near Connellsville, Pa.
 The members of the congregation had gathered for service as usual in the bright morning; the pastor of the flock had taken his place with all due reverence in the pulpit and the serv- ice of prayer began. About this time a commotion was heard outside the

A Burst of Genernaitx

A man from Dunedin once visited the town of Wellington. An Irish friend insisted upon the visitor stay ing at his house instead of at a ho- tel, and kept him there for month, playing the host in detail, even to treating him to the theaters and oth- CT amusements, paying all the cab fares and the rest. When the visitor was returning to Dunedin, the Irish man saw him down to the steamer, and they went into the saloon to have parting drink.
 ''What'll you have?" asked the host, continuing his. hospitality to the very last.
 Now, look here," said the man from Dunedin, ''I'll hae nae mair O. this. Here ye've been keepin' me at yer hoose for month an payin' for a the theaters an cabs an drinks I tell ye I'll stan nae more o' it. We'll just hae toss for this onei"-- Scotsman

MAID MARIAN. !.

It was a very familiar audience that greeted the Bostonians last night at Polls theater, and while at times the enthusiasm was not as spontaneous nor as generous as 1t has been when this company sang others of the popu- lar comic operas, yet there were enough bright and pretty things in Maid Marian to create enthusiasm. Maid Marian" is called a sequel to Robin Hood," but we are sorry to say it does not equal that opera in merit. The sOloists and the chorus were there. the scenic effects were beautiful. the music was bright and catchy, yet there was something lacking which could not remove the remembrances of the pretty Robin Hood.' Perchance If one had never seen Robin Hood'' then Maid Marian" would be the opera to be talked about and to be loved. And yet there are lot of bright passages in this latest contribu- 1ion of Harry B. Smith and Reginald De Koven. There are many pretty solos, duets, quartets and quintets. In
 fact. the opera is good one and will meet with favor. There were many old acquaintances in the cast. Henry Clay Barnabee, who has grown old and gray in the service of comic opera, filled the role of the sheriff of Noting ham cleverly and pleased all his old friends, Then there was another or our interesting friends, ". H. Mac Donald, in the character of Little John. who has not yet forgotten how to sing nor act and who with his part.

 The big show, the greatest ever, will continue Friday night, with Saturday matinee, and it is expected by Con- pany A that all Waterbury will see the mammoth exhibition before the tents are taken down and the show moves on to the next stand. Every member of the company will take a hand m the affair and this concerted effort is sure to be productive of considerable success, both financially and artistical ly. On the professional bill there will be strong array of talent, with tile wondrously clever Morris ponies 10 head the line. These remarkable ani- mals, which have been exhibited be fore royalty, will. no doubt, cause Waterbury to talk of nothing else while on display. The Morris ponies are just home from Europe, after a successful tour. being received every where. with the greatest enthusiasm. The wonderful Lavelle troupe If per forming canine entertainers has rep l. tation not excelled by any similar dog aggregation, and Waterbury will give the animals q warm greeting.
