iAACKINNON DIED A MARTYR
Archbishop ireland Received Lette;
Written Before Death, Prais-
ias Judge Taft.

st. Paul. Mimi, Oct. 15.--Arch
hichcp Irc.-nI has received a lette!
from the Rev. William MacKinno2
of Manila, who died before his letter
reached it's destination. Father Mac
Kinnon was a martyr to his own zeal
and loyalty to duty. Exhausted from
devoted attendance upon the cholera
patients in the recent epidemic IN
Manila, he at length fell victim tc
the plague and died ct his post OF
duty.
Father MacKinnon had the conf
dence and esteem Of all classes In
the church and state il the Philip
pines.
Following is g portion Of Father
Mac ancr's letter to Archbishop Ire
l.nd. bearing cate Of Manila, Sept
2, 1902:
Your interview was very much ap
r~cc;atCd by all here. l enclose q
clipping from the Manila American
with regard to it. The governor sent
for me and read the interview for
ne. He was much pleased and sald
he would write and thank you. | con
slider it very timely. and all American
Catholics here agree with me. 1t
gave us all new courage and will dc
Us a world of good. The way in which
our governor was being abused at
home made me almost ashamed tc
ask any favors Tor the church here
But your interview will show that
the Catholic body is not back of those
attacks. Governor Taft is certainly
the idol of the people of this archi
pelago, and Vice Governor Wright is
next in favor. AMI abuse Of them By
our Catholic papers at home has done
great injury to the church here"

PLAN TO SETTLE STRIKE.
Manufacturers Proposed One to op-
orators, if One Now Pro-
iected Fails.

New York, Oct 15.-The regular
weekly meeting of the coal operators
yesterday was preceded by a confer
ence with committee OF the Ma
tional Association Of Manufacturers,
and at the conference the salient
points Of a plan to settle the anthra
cite coal strike were submitted by the
manufacturers. The operators will
consider the plan while the mine
workers are reaching a conclusion in
regard to the proposal Of arbitration
submitted to President Roosevelt at
Washington Monday. A member o.
the manufacturers committee said
that he knew the associations plan
would be acceptable to Mr.. Mitchell
The same member Of the committee
said that the manufacturers plaa
would be considered by the operators
if the mine workers reject the plan
submitted to the president Monday
night.
Baer Will Give No Statement.
The operators began their meeting
Immediately after the conference
with the manufacturers and at the
close Of the meeting President Baer,
OF the Reading, said that no state
ment would be given out regarding 1t
The members OF the manufactur
ers' committee at the conference
were: David n. Parry, president Of
the association; frank Leake, Of Phil.
adelDhia, and Richard Young, Of this
city.
Dir. Leake said that the proposition
Of the manufacturers association had
not been formally presented to the
operators, but that its salient points
had been discussed. He said that at
present the bitum;nous miners are
organized and that If the anthracite
miners became organized on similar
lines it was his belief that the price
of coal would be permanently ad
Vanced, with the result that manufac-
turers would nave TO advance the
prices Of all articles manufactured.
He said lis association was desirous
OF having prices remain as they now
are.
According TO President PaETy's sec
retary at the meeting between Mr..
Mitchell and the Representatives Of

the manufacturers association at
Buffalo last week, and the secretary
says they have stenographic notes OF
the proceedings, Mr.. Mitchell agreed
to forego the recognition Of the union
in his demands upon the operators II
there was q general advance in wages
Of 10 per cent Mr.. Parry and Mr..
Leakc announced that they would
leave the city last night, but their
destination could not be learned.
Morgan Heard Nothing From Mitchell
While the coal operators meeting
was in progress J. p. Morgan and his
partner, Robert Bacon, arrived in the
city from Washington and they went
directly to Mr. Morgan's Office. Mr.
Morpan was asked:
Have you heard anything from
Mr.. Mitchell in regard to the terms
Of the operators?
NO. l haven't heard anything since
left" replied the financier.
Have you anything to say about
IGur conference with the presidents"
mo, | haven't a word to say. The
newspapers have had everything that
occurred over there"
Mr.. Baer was asked II the presi,
dents had had any intimation that
the proposition made to President
Roosevelt Monday night was accept.
able TO the miners.
You will have to see Mr.. Mitchell
was the reply. I'VE certainly did not
consult Mr. Mitchell"

by the coal road presidents. An ar.
gument was made by one miner at
The Hart hotel yesterday, that Mr..
Mitchell could not we'll afford to turn
DOWN the proposition after already
Offering to permit the president to
select the members of the commits
sion. He thought the president
would appreciate the trust put in him
and see that the miners had fair play
Others in the same class thought
that not much harm could be done
by accepting the proposition, but that
in the end much would result.
There is still a third view held by
miners and that is to refuse to &C.
cept the plan offered and make a
counter proposition embodying some
Of the suggestions contained in the
operators offer. One proposition sug-
gested was that the operators, the
miners and the president each select
a number CT men to act as /: board
This was mentioned to President
Mitchell, but he would make no COM
ment on it.
A Leader Attacks Proposition.
Shenandoah, Pa Oct. 15.-The
opinion, of the strike leaders here IS
that Mr. Mitchell will not accept the
proposition submitted to President
Roosevelt by the mine operators. P.
J. Sweeney, a prominent leader, said:
The proposition is not fair, and |
don't think Mitchell will accept it.
and If he did the mine workers would
not. 1t is a ruse of the operators to
try to divert public sympathy from
the miners, but 1t will fail Of its pur-
pose, because our cause is just"

MINERS MAY
NOT ACCEPT

it is that the operators dictate to the
president from what class Of men he
shall select the arbitratOrs. and
charge the operators with lack Of
faith in the president, when they will
not give him a free hand to pick the
men he wants. another objection to
il is hat the president is limited to
four ren in selecting the jurist on
the commission. Neither are they
sure, they say, that labor will be rep
resented, because the proposal does
not specifically say so, and add that
they have no assurance that "a man

walked up TO the box Office and said,

What n Young Man Should Know.

People differ as to how much a col
legiate education helps a young man in
a business career, some contending that
it is of the utmost Importance; others
that he can get along without it. AS a
matter Of fact, it depends on the young
man himself, for, while a college edu-
cation can hardly be called a hindrance,
it might, in some cases, give a young
fellow foolish pride that would make
him hold himself about the so-called
drudgery Of business life.
A very successful man, in speaking
of what a young man should know to
begin business life in the right way,
summarized the qualifications about as
follows:
He should be able to write a good,
legible hand.
TO spell all the words that he knows
how to use.
To speak and write good English.
TO write a good social or business
letter.
To add column of figures rapidly.
To receipt an account when it is
paid.
To write an ordinary receipt.
To write an advertisement for the
newspaper.
To write an ordinary promissory
note
TO reckon the interest, or the dis
count, on the note for years, months
or days.

A Queer Suicide in Alaska.

The startling suicide of John DAILY,
of Cowley, near Bennett, on the line
of the White Pass and Yukon Railroad,
was the talk OF Skagway when the
Dolphin departed south last Sunday
night. The man took sure and eff
fective method of shuffiing off this
mortal coil. He cut a hole in the ice
of the creek just small enough to pass
through, squeezed himself down in the
aperture into the icy cold waters and
showed himself along under the ice
for several feet before he became un.
conscious. The man made certain of
his death. He cut the hole so small
that there was not one chance in a
thousand oe ever getting back through
it. Then, very deliberately, he took
off his hat and forced his body down
beneath the thick ice, and so close was
the fit that he scarified the flesh on
his shoulders.-Seattle Daily Tines

he moved before? He turned about
suddenly, and what was this he was
doing? He was holding out his arms!
"Give the little chap to me, Lindy;
can hush him up"
That was what he was saying! He
had the tiny, wailing one in his arms
now. The tiny face was against his
breast; he was swaying gently to and
fro-the baby had stopped crying!
A great silence filled the big, bare
place. Every eye was riveted on the
prisoners face, as it bent over the
baby. The wonder of the change in it
filed every soul with amazement. For
the face of the young prisoner was
tender and warm; could it ever have
been hard and defiant? Not this one
this face that nestled against the tiny
one and gazed at it raptly. This was
the face of father who looks at his
son for the first time. But, heart of
pity, what surroundings! What
background! Since the world began,
had this thing ever happened before?
Men read the story and gazed in blank
wonder. Women drew together and
touched each others hands. The pale
little woman sobbed on the girls faith
full breast
A full minute-two, three, four-it
lasted. The prisoner seemed lost to
everything but the moist, warm touch
of the tiny face. He did not cease the
gentle swaying of his body for an in
stant, and people smiled presently and
prodded each other, for the baby was
asleep. A tiny ones bridge between
trouble and Inconsistencies is short,

The age of heroism is not altogether
in the past. We have to-day heroes
as sublime as any in history. But we
have one less than we had only q short
time ago.
Patrick Mccormick was a Chicago
fireman with an average record for
good conduct. Last Friday afternoon
it was his turn to take the afternoon
off. He was in front of the Cottage
Grove avenue engine house, starting
away to enjoy his leisure halliday,
when the fire alarm was sounded and
an engine dashed down the avenue.
A man on the engine called to Nc
Cormicl and he determined to be on
hand at the fire. But it was too late
for him to spring upon the passing
engine. An express wagon was near,
which he called. and jumping aboard
he told the driver to run for the fire.
Following the engine it was but q
few minutes before he reached the
scene Of the fire and went to work
as il work was the recreation of his
holiday.
Mccormick was the only man killed
ct that fire. He was at a post OF duty
near a tottering wall and an ava
lanche of superheated bricks covered
him before he could escape. His body
was found under the heap of ruins.
His holiday sense of duty called him
to his tragic fate.
There are heroes in all the ways and
walks of life at all times and in all
places. Every human being moved
by a heroic impulse become q hero.
Our firemen are a heroic class. Every
year gives us instances that they are
made of the best STUFF which human
courage and endurance supply.-Chica-
go Chronicle.
