J.. P. Morgan Approves Operators
COuT e in Coal Strike.
RAILROAD PRESIDENTS CONFER

Mr., Raer Says Operators Have Not
Changed Their Attitude, and Their
Purpose to Refuse Arbitration Is As
Firm As Ever.
New York, Aug. 27-George F. Baer.
president OF the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway Company and the
recognized leader of the fight of the
coal operators against the anthracite
miners of Pennsylvania. arrived in
this city yesterday from Philadelphia.
and after transacting some business
at his Office went to the Office OF J.
P. Morgan in Wall street and con
ferred with the great financier.
Mr. Steele, of the firm of P
Morgan & Co., and Mr.. Stotesbury,
the Philadelphia partner of Mr. Nor
CANS firm, were also present.
1t was learned late yesterday after
noon that another conference was held
at the Offices of the Ontario and West
ern Company. Those attending this
meeting were President Fowler, of
the Ontario and Western; President
Baer. of the Philadelphia and Read
ing. and President Truesdale, of the
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western.
Later President Baer was seen. He
I said: I'VE have simply exchanged
notes regarding the strike of the an
thracite miners. The situation is I'M
changed. The assumption that my
visit to ]. P Morgan signifed a
change in our attitude to the strike
is entirely erroneous. had not seen
Mr. Morgan since his return from
Europe. and was naturally anxious
to talk with him with regard to the
general situation.
Il will say that our fixed purpose
to refuse to arbitrate this dispute is
as firm as ever. There will be nc
arbitration. We will not allow it.
Generally speaking. we are satisfied
with conditions"
From another and equally reliable
source it was learned that Mr. Nor
gan declared yesterday that be posi-
5 lively will not in any way interfere
: with the progress of the strike of ths
miners. He has expressed to the
T coal magnates his general approva
: of the conduct of their side of thu
struggle. The authority for this
. statement is a coal president, whit
I declined to allow the use of his mann
in this connection.

Probably one of the most interesting
events Of the season win be the appear
ance here Thursday, September 4th of
the famous Welch Bros Big Railroad
Shows and Trained Animal Exposition
The show was organized in 1887 and
since has been continuously successful,
it has maintained a pre-eminence over
any other similar enterprise in Amer
lea, and at prices of admission to suit
the capacity of the humblest citizen.
That so grand a show, which in its
outfit and integral construction has
absorbed a great capital and necesita-
ting heavy daily expenses can profita-
bly, exist, and, like the rolling snow
ball, increase from year to wear, is a
marvel only solved by the influence
appertalnlng to the name of WEIGH
Bro. Great Shows, which, spread far
ana wide, possesses the magnetism
to insure remunerative attendance
The name is idential with the assur-
ance OF an exhibition which has neveri
failed to fulfill the word of promise to
the public, and which, however
critical and hard to satisfy, never fail;
to distinguish the true from counterfeit
The big holiday street parade every
morning, is said to be a marvel o
glittering splendor and extraordinary
sights, the procession will leave TIN
show grounds promptly at 10 a. m.
: passing through the principal streets
, after the return to the exhibition lot
numerous free shows will be given
The afternoon performance begin
: promptly at O'CLOCK, in the eveinj

Bad Manners of Young Men.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
Bishop Potter made some sharp remarks
about manners this week that became all
the more pointed when illustrated by the
observation of a member "a matron) Of the
that "the rising generation Of young club
men who must stand as types is absolutely
without good manners. For the young men
of society the word courtesy has little or
no meaning. l will say without reserve,
continued this mother in society, that as
far / can see the young men feel that
they must either make love or else make
clowns Of themselves" Bishop Potter said
this week:
In a parlor car, while coming from
Washington few weeks ago, there was
young man sitting with his wife-l pre-
sumo she was his wife because I cannot
conceive of him treating any other woman
with such discourtesy as he treated her.
Unable 10 smoke in the car he revenged
himself for his involuntary denial by
munching an unlighted cigar. j COngratu-
late myself that ] had the self-restrairs
TO prevent my getting up, taking the cigar
out OF that young mans mouth and sound

and insufferable exhibition of vulgarity.
Good manners contribute 10 the comfort
and Joy Of society. Visitors 10 Europe who
have noticed there the ceremoniOus and
considerable treatment of the aged and the
dignihed Solicitations which are exchanged
between men are struck with the meager-
ness OF these attributes in American life.

practical and rapid 10 return 10 the irk-

LITERARY NOTES.

viewer of the New York Tribune indicates
that that parsonage is not a great admirer
of England's new dramatic poet: Mr..
Stephen Phillips appears to have made a
moderate popular success, though he is not
regarded with high favor by the devoted
lovers of great poetry. 1t is said that a
total of about 10000 copies of his mediocre
books have been sold in this country and
England"

\ good deal of Indignation is expressed
from time to time over the vandalism Of
the persons whose mania for souvenirs
leads them to clip bits of stone from
statuary or tombstones to cut and deface
buildings and furnishings and to mar
and mutilate whenever the humor takes
them. The only consoling reflection that
the righteously wrathful critics indulge in
in regard to such outrageous behavior is
that the vandals belong to the lower
classes of society which have not been well
trained to respect personal rights or the
