MINERS STRIKE STILL ON.
Proposition Sent Out From Indianapolis
Last Week Not Accepted-Mass s.
Meeting To-day

Saturday morning the Dubois Cour-
ier contained an article to the effect
that at a meeting OF the officers OF u.
M. w. OF A. and L. w. Robinson, gener-
al manager Of II. e. p. G. al. Co., held
at indianapolis, Ind, Friday, April a.,
that there was a settlement OF the dif-
ferences between Mr. Robinsons com
pany and the miners of this district and
that the men were to resume work,
Immediately, but there seems to have
been some Misunderstanding, at least
the miners delegates have refused TO
accept the proposition, and the strike
is still on. Following is copy Of the
indianapolis proposition:
Work to be resumed on same basis
OF price for mining and day labor and
conditions as existed at the beginning
OF the last scale year.
Except at Eleanora the miners shall
push the cars one way In all rooms that
are now or may hereafter be equipped
with iron rail, otherwise present condi-
tions of mule haulage tocontinue.
"And at the Florence mine, cars are
TO be handled after both mule and elec-
tricity by pushing one way, except In
such places how working and equipped
for electric haulage.
1.-THE present conditions OF pushing
cars TO continue until such rooms are
exhausted, or worked out. After which
the cars during present scale year will
be hauled one way and pushed one way,
as customary after regular mule haul
age"
A convention OF the delegates from
various works Of the z. & p. and j. Il
G. G. g. l. Companies was held at PUNK
sutawney Monday of this week. CON-
mittees waited on Mr.. Robinson, but
there was no settlement reached, and
after reaffirming the resolutions OF
April lst the delegates adjourned.
We have been informed that the only
basis OF settlement that will be consider
ed by the miners is that proposed at
Altoona convention.
A mass meeting OF the Reynoldsville,
Soldier, Sykesville and Rathmel miners
will be held at 1000 a. IN. to-day. II
the weather is favorable the meeting

Big Rush for Shoes.

1t Ia doubtful II ever there was a
sale in Reynoldsville where there was
such mad rush for bargains as there
was at Williams shoe fire sale in the
opera house block Saturday. From the
time the doors were opened In the morn
ing until closed In the evening the
large store room was crowded with
people iostling each other In their ef-
forts to get the best shoes they could
find for least money. And as In all
such cases there were number OF
thieves present and, no doubt, some of
them succeeded In stealing shoes,
although there were two or three de.
tectives at the door and In the store
room. Three men and one woman were
caught after they got out OF the store
room and the shoes taken from them,
but no arrests we're made. One man,
who had three pair Of shoes In his
pockets, was followed square before
he was caught. He gave up the shoes.
Women with cloaks on had best ad-
vantage to get out of the store with
stolen shoes, but several Of them, who
looked suspicious when stopped at door
and asked TO show their bundle, denied
Of having any bundle, stepped back into
crowd laid down the shoes they had
under their arms and went out without
buying shoes. In the two days, Satur.
day and Monday, Williams sold all his
Stock. 900 pairs OF shoes.

IN GREECE.
A Place Where the Eye Rather Than
the Palate Is Gratified,

A Place Where the Eye Rather Than
the Palate Is Grntiied.
Excepting Japan, southern Italy and
the Tyrol, no country compares with
Greece in the beauty Of its landscapes.
1t is not a land for luxurious people,
however. The climate is more to be
recommended than the hotels, but the
natural scenery has a variety, n rich
ness and a color that no other part of
Europe affords. The foliage and the
flowers are abundant and beautiful,
and in the rural districts the people
nre picturesque In manners, customs
and dress. Their habits and social life
have not been affected by what we call
the advances of modern civilization.
In public c~onveniences, however,
GREECE is still far behind the times.
Athens is the only place where the no.
tells are tolerable, and travellers who go
into the interior must take their w
provisions and bedding. Even those
who make little excursions by carriage
for a single day In the neighborhood Of
Athens must carry a lunch basket, be-
cause the inns are primitive and filthy.
Railway facilities are limited. With
a few exceptions the roads are bad,
but they are gradually improving, and
most of the centers of great interest to
tourists may now be reached by car
riage. Only a few years ago travellers
had to 60 on horseback or Oh foot, as
they do in the Holy Land. Even now
those who visit some of the most inter-
esting places have to put up with dis
comforts, Inconvenience and a good
deal Of dirt and bad smells, although
they are fully repaid.-Chicago Record

and Winning Of the Girl.
An Arab loves as none but an Arab
can love, but he is also nightly excit-
able and easily won. An Arab sees q
girl bearing water Or brushwood and in
q moment, almost ut a glance, is as
madly in love MS if he had passed years
Of courtship. He thinks of nothing else,
cares and dreams of nothing else but
the girl he loves. and not infrequently,
If he is disappointed in his affection, he
pines and dies. In order to commence
his suit he sends for a member of the
girls tribe and, first insuring his Sc
crecy by Il solemn oath, c%onfesses his
love and entreats his conf1dant to ar
range an interview.
The confidant goes to the girl, gives
her a flower or a blade of grass and
says:
"Swear by him who made this flow
er and us also that you will not reveal
to any one that which I am about to
unfold to yon."
If the girl will not accept the pro-
posal, she will not take the oath, but
nevertheless keeps the matter perfect
~ secret from all. If she is favorably
disposed to the match, she answers:
II swear by him who made the flow
er you hold and u.s." and the place and
time Of meeting are settled. These
paths are broken, and it is not
long before the ardent lover becomes
the happy husband.

Delicncy of Smell.

Very careful experiments have been
made to test the delicacy of the ems
Of smell in human beings. A cries Of
solutions Of five different substances
was prepared, each series being so ar
ranged that every solution was Of half
the strength Of the preceding one.
These series were extended by sue
cessive d%ilutions till it was impossible
10 detect the odors. The order Of the
bottles containing these solutions was
completely ~disarranged, and the test
consisted in the attempt to classify
them by the sense Of smell alone.
An equal number Of male and female
observers were selected from the best
apothecaries' shops, and each was re-
quircd to arrange the bottles. The
males were able to detect the smell Of
the nitrate of amyl in the solution Of
1 part to $4,000 of water, and the
females were able to detect 1t in the
solution of 1 part to 311,O00 Of water.
The oil Of wintergreen was detected in
about the same proportion and to the
same extent Of dilution.
There was, therefore, a very great
prcponderance in favor of the males as
to the sensitivencss and discrimination
of the sense of smell. This Is certainly
an astounding fact.-Gentleman's Mag
azine.

Tho Proper Way Is to Twist Ribs
and Stick Together.
why is it." asked an inquisitive rus.
toner In q downtown umbrella store,
"that n can never roll up an umbrella
as compactly and neatly as it is rolled
when he buys IT."
"You can If you only know how"
said the salesman, "but If everybody
knew how it would mean less business
for us. The umbrellas would last lon
ger, and there would be n lot less work
for the repairers.
Perhaps 1 shouldn't tell you how"
the clerk continued, "but it's so simple
you should know anyhow. If you have
noticed, nearly everybody who rolls up
an umbrella takes hold Of it by the
handle and keeps twisting the stick
with one hand while he folds and rolls
with the other hand.
"Now, that's just where the mistake
comes in. Instead of twisting with the
handle he should take hold Of it just
above the points of the cover ribs.
These points naturally lie evenly
around the stick. Keep hold Of these,
pressing them tightly against the stick,
and then roll up the over. Holding
the ribs prevents them from getting
twisted out of place or bending out Of
shape. Then the silk is bound to fold
evenly and roll smooth and tight.

until it is old enough to get rusty look
ing it will look as If it had just come
from the shop."-New York Herald.
