James r. Matthews, an Associated Press

member of the Indianapolis police force

had nearly reached his destination stopped
suddenly in compliance with command
from the rear Matthews turned in time
to look into the bore of a murderous look

a burglar but that he was wearing his

INCREASE OF 10 PER CENT.


DETROIT. Mich, Oct. 15.-George H. Bar
bour, one Of the members Of the commit
tee from the National Manufacturers As
ISOLATION which held the conference at
Buffalo last week with President Mitchell.
of the United Mine Workers, said to-day:
1.-The manufacturers committee proposed
to President Mitchell, at Buffalo. that If he
would forego the point of recognition of the
union the miners would be entitled to a lc
per cent increase OF wages, based on earn
ings at the time of the strike. all other
difficulties to be settled by the individual
collieries. Mr.. Mitchell was not inclined to
give up his point of union recognition. but
finally agreed that he would present the
question to the miners district presidents.
If Mr.. Mitchell favors the compromise we
are certain that il will be accepted. AT thar
time the manufacturers had not seen the
operators, but as business proposition we
are certain we can secure the 10 per cent.
increase for the reason that the public
would be only too glad to stand an increase
of 81 ton in the price of hard coal for a
settlement of the strike and the operators
can readily afford TO give the miners a 10
per cent. increase while pocketing the ex-
ira dollor in the price themselves.

CONVENTION TO BE CALLED.
Mitchell Says Resumption of work
Rests with the Miners.

wILKESBARRE. Pa, Oct. 16.-President
Mite hell arrived here from Washington at
LIS this morning He was met at the rail-
ro,td station by National Secretary Wilson.
Tie Associated Press bulletins Of the out
come of the Washington conference that
the strike was settled were read to him
while he was surrounded by a small army
of newspaper men. He was Immediately
congratulated. and in reply for statement
he said: "Your congratulations should be
withheld until we see who the six repre-
sentatives of the commission are. 1 UNDER
stood before I left Washington that there
would be a sixth man, and that he would
be placed before the Joint meeting OF the
three executive boards OF the anthracite
region at their meeting at 10 o'clock this
morning i will wait up to see the full
statement issued by Mr.. Cortelyou."
In reply TO the question whether he would
comply with the Presidents request that
coal mining be resumed Immediately. ne
said he would make more definite answer
when he knew more about the matter.
Only the newspaper correspondents were
at the headquarters when the news was
first received, about twenty-five minutes
before Mr. Mitchell arrived. The news that
a common ground of agreement has been
reached Is sure TO be received with great
-sjoieing throughout the entire region.
After his interview with the reporters In
the hotel lobby Mr.. Mitchell went to his
Office on the second floor, where he was
closeted with Mr.. Wilson. While there the
correspondent OF the Associated Press again
went to him for further enlightenment on
the situation regarding immediate resump-
ton. and he made the positive statement
that a delegate convention must first pass
upon the question of calling of the strike.
From the calling of the convention to its
adjournment is only matter of three or
four days. There Is hardly any doubt the
convention will stand by any agreement
he has made with President Roosevelt.
When Mr.. Mitchell learned the personnel
OF the commission and was asked for q
further statement he replied that he would

may take a few days to bring them to-
gether, the belief is universal that the
negotiations now pending will terminate the
strike. 1t is pointed out by one who is
recognized authority on strike controversies
that in the event of an agreement on
commission of arbitration il will not be
absolutely necessary for President Mitchell
at this time formally to declare off the
strike. He and his district presidents may
order the men back to work, holding in
allegiance the formal declaration of the
end OF the strike until the commission shall
have made its findings. which. II IS ex-
pected, will be binding upon both operators
and miners.

Stone Throwing.

A propensity to throw stones regard
less of consequences has been one of
the earliest signs of natural depravity
among men since time began and, we
fear, must continue that way until the
millennium ushers in the era when bad
boys are no more and stones are con-
fined to their proper and legitimate
uses.
Anyway, the mischief wrought by
this vicious and eXecrable habit looms
up into serious proportions when the
figures are given out by plate glass in
surance men showing that it costs not
less than $25O.OOO a year to make good
the losses thus caused by reckless boys
in this country alone.
With stone throwing costing $2JO,0OO
year, carelessness in setting fires cost
ing hundreds of millions more and
needless accidents causing immense
sacrifice of property. the good people
have many bills to foot which ought
not to be theirs.-Leslie's Weekly.

Douglas as n Printer.

Stephen A. Douglas, although not
recognized as such by the craft, was
one time printer. The story of how he
and Long John" Wentworth came to-
gether on a printing proposition is still
afloat, but in such close quarters that
it is not often heard. Mr.. Wentworth
was printing The Democrat in Chicago
in 1888 and struggling to remove an
indebtedness Of about $4,000. Douglas
called on him one day and said that he
had some handbills that must be print
ed at once.
"All right" answered Mr.. Went
worth, ''but the facilities of this office
are limited. Do you want ten or hum
dred of these bills"
The "Little Giant" said he believed
200 or perhaps more would be needed.
every WELL" was the response. "You
will have to turn printer yourself II
you expect to get them today"
The bill was set up and placed on the
hand press. Then Douglas was given
special instructions how to handle the
ink roller. A big apron was put on
him, and he performed the menial
work of roller boy, linking the types
while Mr.. Wentworth worked the
| press.

When kissing Was Costly.

The case of the People against Muir
line, heard by the governor of New
Haven colony in council on May day,
1860, indicates the attitude toward un-
licensed kissing in those times. 1t ap-
peared that Jacob Murine and Sarah
Tuttle had been caught kissing each
other.
Jacob tried to throw the blame on
Sarah, saying he thought she had with
intent let fall her gloves" Sarah de-
MED the intent. Jacob then admitted
that he ''tooke her by the hand, and
they both sat down upon a chest, but
whether he kyssed her or she kyssed
him he knows not, for he never thought
of it since until Mr.. Raymond told him
that he had not layde it to heart as he
ought"
The stern governor, after duly lee
turing the guilty parties on the enOrmi
ty of their offense, decreed that 'the
sentence therefore concerning them is
that they shall pay either of them 8
fine of 20 shillings to the colony"

WITH Ak AND BLOCK.
Criminal Executions In Prussia Stil1
Performed by the Headsman.

Performed by the Headsman.
Seventeenth century methods still
prevail in Prussia in the matter Of the
execution of criminals. The man SEN
fenced there to suffer capital punish
ment is led to the fatal block. and his
head is chopped off with identically the
same sort of AK as that which was
used to put period to the career of
Charles |. in the Tower of London on
that fateful 30th Of January 90 years
ago. Practically the only difference
between the twentieth century eXecu-
tion and that of the time of Cromwell
is that the condemned is not put TO
death publicly.
In many parts of the German empire
the guillotine has taken the place of
the gallOws and the block, but in Prus
sia old fashioned justice clings tena-
ciously to the old fashions. and not
the rope nor the automatic knife nor
the power of electricity has been able to
displace the broadax as the laws otti-
cial implement of death. The only
| concession made to modern sentiment
is in the garb of the eXecutioner.
This functionary does not, as in the
earlier times, dress in dOublet and hose
and hide his ensanguined identity be-
hind a frightsOme mask. Instead, he
appears at the execution garbed in a
| frOck coat of somber hue and correct
cut, and he wears upon his head, even
when delivering the death stroke, tall
silk hat. His three assistants are sim
ilarly attired.
Why this garb was chosen no one
can say authOritativcly. 1t is one Of
those things the origin of which ap
pears to have been forgotten with the
Originators. But it is the lawful cos
tune, prescribed in the regulations
which apply also to the twelve civil
