Babies Beat Band.

Mrs. Harry Goen's has pre-.
sented Harry with a lovely lit.
tie girl and although he is
highly tickled over the event,
it takes grandma Rose Meal.
lister to discount him smiling.
You know Ex-Alderman James
Fl. Grady, you know he is a
Methodist, but you don't know
that hecan dance over a baby to
beat the band, but really, truly
he can. In the first place it is
funny just to think of little
girl baby down at Jims, but
this is the how of it. He was
sleeping the sleep of the just
Monday night when he awaken,
ed himself dancing for very Joy
because his Jersey COW had
given birth to three brown eyed
little calves and his wife had
presented him with a lovely lit.
tie girl. Of course the row
wakened his wife and she fully
wakened Jim who fessed up, it
was all a dream and now he
will wonder who gave the
dream away.

Gen. Goblin said that he does not see

Nahant, Mass, Aug. 25.-This towI
kept holiday Monday because Presi
dent Roosevelt was a guest of one OF
her distinguished citizens over night
The demonstration at Lynn and
here has greatly pleased the presi-
dent, who, however, has taken the
expressions of approval as being
meant as much for Senator Lodge as
for himself.
President Roosevelt enjoyed an IN
disturbed night of rest at the resi-
dence of Senator Lodge, and Monday
morning he arose as fresh as when
his New England trip began. He is
showing no signs of fatigue, and APP
pears to be benefited greatly by the
bracing New England atmosphere.
He has not slept on a train since he
started, and this fact, added to the
absence of considerable fOrmality,
such as handshaling, prevented much
weariness.
As the forenoon advanced, crowds
streamed into the town in the hopes
of getting a glimpse of the distin-
guished visitors. The president re-
manned with Senator Lodge all the
III CliVOL- ne WIS llOG even seen ny
a party of Is women, who appeared
at the Lodge residence, and stripping
Il big American flag from their car
riage, stretched it across the street,
and sent up three hearty cheers for
the president.
Promptly at 2:3O the guns of the
battery began booming, and the town
comimttee appeared at the entrance
to Senior Lodges estate to meet the
president and escort him to the Ma.
haDt public library.
The president was greeted With
cheers upon his appearance, and az
he appeared upon the platform ereoE

length he could be heard, the presj-
dent delivered a brief address.

DISCUSSING ROOSEVELT.
ment on President ROoseveIt's
Views on Trusts.

London, Aug. 25.-The newspapers
here are taking time to digest Presi-
dent Roosevelt's views on trusts.
The Evening Standard considers
that his definition of theposition COM
binations ought to occupy lis precise
ly what is expected of a man of
the presidents temperate, logical
mind" and adds that the Suggestion
of governmental supervision of CAPT
talistic rings is admirable in theory,
though it is not easy to surmise how
it can be made operative"
The Pail Mall Gazette remarks:
president Roosevelt's announcement
leaves no doubt that he Intends at
least to scotch some of the leviathan
enterprises which are deleterious to
the general community. At the same
time he is too wise to ignore the fact
that the tendency of commerce is in
the direction of concentration of
forces, and that this force needs guild
ance, and not opposition"

SPECIAL POLICEMAN CUT.
He WINS Trying to Rescue His Son
From n Mob of Strikers.


Hazleton, Pa, Aug. 25.-August
Scheuch, aged Sc years, a special po-
liceman in the service of the Lehigh
Valley Coal Co, was assaulted and
stabbed on the outskirts of the city,
Monday while attempting to rescue
his son, William Scheuch, a non-uniOn
workman employed at the company's
No. 40 colliery, from mob of about
5000 strikers who had gathered from
all parts of the Hazleton region on
the roads leading to the mine to frus-
trate the plans of the company for a
partial resumption of operations
with Il non-union force of go hands.
y majority of the non-union men
were taken to the workings in a spe-
cial train with which the strikers did
not attempt to interfere. William
Schuech, who lives in this city,
walked from his home toward the
colliery, and thus fell into the hands
of the piclets. Most of the clothing
was torn from his back in the strug
gle which followed.
When Scheuch's farther rushed to
his aid, the mob set upon the elder
Ocneucn, WHO was HlldAiy IoScueu ny
a mine foreman and removed to the
miners hospital.
Scheuch was stabbed in the breast
and on each hip, kicked in the abdo-
men and struck on the head with a
stone. His injuries are not very seri-
Gus. The knife. which was sunk into
his breast, struck rib and that fact
probably saved his life. The effort
to prevent work at the mine was sue
cessful.
The report of resumption at the
Cranberry colliery of A. Pardee d Co.,
caused about 500 men to gather near
the mine, but no attempt was made

IN PANTHER CREEK VALLEY.
Active Missionary Work Among the
Non-UniOn Miners.

Tamaqua, Pa, Aug. 25.-Not since
the Inauguration of the anthracite
coal miners strike have the United
Mine Workers had so many pickets
patrolling the Panther Creek valley
as was the case Monday. Every road
and path leading to the collieries was
guarded in an effort to persuade the
non-union men not to go to work. No
new recruits were added to the work
ing force, and quite a number were
turned back. The extra vigilance was
due to the rumor that it is the inten-
ton of the Lehigh Coal & Navigation
Co, to cut coal as soon as sufficient
men can be secured. An official OF
the company admitted that practical
miners are hard to procure, and that
none of the coal companies is able to
operate any of the mines for this
reason.
