WARhKE WASHERY RESUMES.

a.
Started Up Yesterday Morning Protected
by strong Guards.
Associated Press Dispatches by Special Wires
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 20. = The
Warnke washery, at Duryea, resumed
operations this morning under strong
guard.
The works are surrounded by deputy
sheriffs and coal and iron police.
The strikers have not gathered in any
large numbers as yet.
SOLDIERS NOT ATTACKED.
Tamaqua, Pa, Aug. 20. The bat
TALON of the Twelfth Regiment en-
camped at Manila Park, near here,
was thrown around the camp in expec-
tation that an attempt might be made
to stone the sentries, but the precau-
tion was unnecessary, as none of the
| strikers venturad near the camp dure
ing the night.
Today the striking miners strung a
Gordon Of guards on the outside of the
sentry line of the camp. They say they
have done this to better protect the
soldiers and keep their own men out
of the camp, as the leaders say they
have no business there. Gen. Gopin
will likely return to Shenandoah to-
night, but it is probable that he will
come back here tomorrow, when Sharp,
the strike leader who was killed Mon
day evening, will be buried.
nAER's REPLY TO CLARK.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. GOV. F.
Clark, photographer of this city,
recently addressed a letter to President
Baer of the Philadelphia & Reading
Railroad Co., appealing to him, as a
Christian, to settle the miners strike.
The. writer said if Christ were taken
more into our business affairs, there
would be less trouble in the world !;
and that il Mr.. Baer granted the
strikers slight concession, they would
gladly return to work and the presi-
dent of the Philadelphia q Reading
Railroad Co. would have the blessing
of God and the respect of the nation.
President Baer replied as follows
II see you are evidently biased in your
religious views in favor of the right of
the workingman to control business
in which he has no other interest than
to secure wages for the work he does
! beg of you not to be discouraged.
The rights and interests of the labor.
ing man will be protected and cared
for, not by the labor agitators, but by
the Christian men to whom God in his
infinite wisdom has given the control
of the property interests OF the country.
Pray earnestly that the right may
triumph, always remembering that the
Lord God omnipotent still reigns, and
that his reign is one of law and order,
and not of violence and crime,''

a day, with the addition Of lunch
Of green feed at night. The sled Is
loaded with four barrels Of water, five
sacks Of wheat and a mash composed
Of three sacks of coarse middlings and
40 pounds Of either cut green bone or
ground fresh meat, which is mixed with
skim milk that has been allowed to
sour. On a big ranch 1t takes from s
a. m. until II o'clock to complete the
feeding and watering and a sufficient
quantity Is put out to last "a hours.
Seventy-five hens are roasted in each
house, and the houses are built on rum
ners.
The colonies are from 40 to 500 feet
apart, and the hens being we'll sup
piled with feed, are content and do not
wander from one colony to another.
An interesting feature Of this open
colony system Is that each fowl knows
and goes unerringly to its own parti-
cular colony house for roosting at
night.
In 1900, $4,000 was spent with the
merchants Of the town for chicken feed.
This was outside and above the feed
stuff which some of the large poultry
raisers import from San Francisco.
Small oyster shells are brought into this
town of hens by the schooner load to
furnish the biddies with the lime
wherewith to produce proper eggshell.
The cost Of feeding one hen we'll, and
strike the happy medium of success
in feeding, Is about IS cents per year
from that to 81. A man will go into a
store in Petaluma and buy $500 worth
of chicken feed and pay cash for 1t
as readily, and perhaps more so, than
he would buy his wife a silk gown.
The best argument as to profits Is
the fact that everybody in the town Is
in the poultry business in some form,
and they all stay in 1t and enlarge each
year. The average profit per hen Is
81 to $3.50 net per annum. One man
about three miles from Petaluma has
succeeded by special care, neatness
and good selection of fowls, in making
his hens pay a trifle over 81 each per
annum. If the eggshells were only as
valuable as the eggs, what duplicate
store Of riches would accrue to many.
The incubators leave behind them a
vast number of shells, which are car
ted away by the wagon load for use
in the tanneries, or are crushed and
fed to their near relatives; the chicks.
Perhaps the biggest wagon load on rec
ord was made by the shells left by 45,-
900 chicks Matched by incubator. In
cased in wire netting, they resembled
a case of huge popcorn.-San Fran
cisco Call.

HIS EXCUSE SEEMED INSUFFICIENT
Not long ago Captain George Blakely
of the United States army, professor OF
mathematics at West Point, came to
this, his native city. Desiring to renew
old friendships, he telegraphed to Prof
Robert Hart Bradbury, of the Manuel
Training school, requesting him to call
at his hotel at his earliest convenience,
Prof. Bradbury wrote reply, instruct
ing the maid to have 1t telegraphed to
the captain at once.
The message reached Captain Blake
ly, who, after reading it, sent Prof
Bradbury the following despatch:
WHY don't you buy some?"
When this reply reached Prof. Brad
bury he was nonplussed. He hastened
to the hotel and found the captain.
Jack, what the deuce do you mean
by such q reply as this?" he asked.
What do you mean by this?" said
the captain, handing the professor his
message. 1t read: Il am out of socks
and can't GOMEZ" Prof. Bradbury had
written: I'm out of sorts and can't
comet" The error was the operators.

DIR. STAIRS GOLD MINE.
Story of n Fortune Gained Through
Befriending Three Young Squaws.

Story of n Fortune Gained Through
Befriending Three Young Squaws.
Few Washington people are aware
that there is here a man who owns a
gold mine worth millions, yet who en-
joys life in philosophical manner In
lis shop, living like Diogenes Of old, un-
mindful of worldly pride. And this
man is not only one Of the wealthiest
men in the Union, If we estimate the
value Of his mine, but he has just per-
fected a motor which will cheaper the
present cost of electric production by
one-half.
This man Is DR.. William M. Starr,
whose shop on G street, near Seventh
street, is one of the most picturesque
bits Of still life at the Capital.
Walking back through a rather dark
hall to an end room one finds the doc
tor snugly ensconced in the depths of
an old chair in a room filled with med
icine bottles and the dusty litter Of a
busy workshop. It Is a typical bach
elor's quarters, totally devoid Of any
artistic feminine touches, the one small
window innocent Of any washing and
a pile Of scraps gathered into cor
ner-one Of the habits of the male ami
NAL when alone. Still the doctor keeps
himself happy and comfortable, and,
like the Greek Of old, lives agreeably to
his own moods and finds his greatest
pleasure in his botanical theories. In
fact, there are few in the neighborhood
who are not admirers of his success
in medical work, and to all he has en-
deared himself by his kindly philan-
thropy.
DR.. Starr Is a native Of Ohio, and in
his early manhood took an active part
in the Mexican war. On his return
from the service he resided for short
time in Wisconsin and it was from that
state in '49 he gathered an outfit to
seek his fortune in the California gold
fields. With thirty picked men and
several OK teams he started across
what was then the Western Wilder
ness, inhabited almost solely by In
dians and wild animals.

FAMOUS IRISH BULLs.-Sir Boyle
Roche, called 1.-The father Of Irish
bulls" once said in a speech in parlia-
ment: why should we put ourselves
out of our way to do anything for pos
terity; for what has posterity done fol
u.s."
Sir Boyle once declared himself ready
to give up mot only part, but, if nec-
essary, even the whole Of our consti'
tuition to preserve the remainder"
Deprecating a charge of inequality
in the commercial relations between
Great Britain and Ireland, he observed
that "he is an enemy of both kingdoms
who wishes to diminish the brotherly
affection of the two sister countries"
In deprecating the excesses Of the
French Revolution he conjured up g
grewsome picture of the unbridled fury
Of the mob. Here, perhaps, sir, the
murderous men would break in, Gu,
us to mincemeat and throw our bleed
ing heads on that table to stare us ir
the face"
Sir Boyle's infelicitious mode of con-
veying an invitation to a noble lord tt
partake of his hospitality is among the
best known Of his blunders: Il hope
my Lord, if you ever come within g
mile of my house that you'll stay there
all night"
