new MATRIMONIAL TEST
GIRL SHOULD DINE WITH MAN
BEFORE ENGAGING HERSELF
TO HIM.
Woman Writer Lays Down New For
muIa for Determining Whether or
No Man Will Make Fit Husband
Dinner Said to Be a Logical and
Satisfactory Solution of Doubts.

There's no end to the advice given
men as to the kind of girls they should
marry. A woman writer has recently
added her quota to this little. Do not
engage yourself to a man until you
have dined with him, she advises. At
first sight this advice strikes one as
being rather f1ippant. In reality, how
ever, the f1ippancy is only on the sur
face. Considered seriously, dinner
really seems an excellent test of
mans ability to play his part salts
factorily in the comedy or tragedy of
matrimony. In the first place, to or
der a dinner successfully implies skill,
if not genius. Then there's the ques-
ton of manners. Morals are largely
matter Of temperament. Manners be-
long, or should belong, to all temper
aments. But morals can be thrust
neatly out of sight when the occasion
demands. Manners, whether good or
bad, are always in evidence. Possess
ing the genius for the ordering of it
and the manners for the proper con-
sumption of it, there remains the per-
soral side of the dinner to be consid-
cred. For manners are, of necessity,
impersonal. There are men who might
be possible with the soup, but utterly
impossible with the salad. There are
others who would make the mistake Of
being witty with the fish, cynical with
the coffee. And surely such an offense
against she eternal fitness of things
would argue i'll for future domestic
bliss. AL! things considered, therefore,
the dinner test is rather a good sort
of test, though, perhaps, it will never
do away with the lottery feature, so
prominent in matrimony

CONGRESS ADJOURNED.

The session of congress which has
just closed may be conceded to have
done we'll, at least the political work
which 1T undertook. In all else, save
one measure alone, it fulfilled no
pledge and justified no expectations.
1t made the proposed plan of so-calIed
civil government in the Philippines
law passed a measure repeating the
war taxes which it's predecessor had
imposed, established a tariff between
tn Philippines and the United States.
made the census office permanent and
established, after a fashion, a consular
and diplomatic service for Cuba.
1t has passed no measure Interfering
In the slightest Gegree with the enor-
mites of the present tariff and has
ratified and continued all the enormi-
ties of unconstitutional anti-Amer-
lean methods in the Philippines.
One measure, and one alone, has been
adopted during the past session which
reflects credit upon congress and on
the party which originated it. That
measure is the provision made for the
irrigation Of the arid lands of the
West. But, as if to offset this sensi-
bic provision for supplying bona fide
settlers with free homes on lands now
worse than useless, 1t also adopted a.
measure which, as long as it remains
on the statute books, will reflect shame
upon the American name. 1t embodies
the very extreme of legislation estab-
fishing special privilege in one class
and confiscating the property of an
other. That measure is the so-called
oleomargarine bill.
1t is not so much for what it has
done as for what it has left undone
that public criticism can be directed
to the congress which adjourned yes
terday. Every measure which was
free from political tinge, which did
not involve the expenditure of the
public funds and which was promo
tive Of one or more good public pur-
poses. that was under consideration
during the last session of congress.
has remained Enacted upon. Among
these measures may be mentioned the
one creating the Appalachian forest
reserve, by which it was designed to
put in practical operation the long
neglected policy of forest reserve. So,
also, the demand that some public
provision should be made for the es-
adjustment Of direct telegraphic COM
munication between the United States,
Hawaii and the Philippines, which
would save the government and people

NO SETTLEMENT IN SIGHT YET.
President Mitchell Fails So Far to Ad
lust Troubles in Michiuan.

SAGINAW, Mich, July 2.-The efforts
of President Mitchell of the United Mine
Works of America, to effect settle
ment of the differences in the Michigan
district in which the miners have been
out on strike since April 1, have not been
as yet entirely successful. President
Mitchell addressed a joint conference of
operators and mine workers here this
afternoon and made an earnest appeal
to both parties to come to terms. The
scale was then turned over to commit
tees appointed to represent each side and
they WreStled with the subject until after
5 o'clock when it became apparent that
no agreement could be reached.
The men contend for the same scale
Of wages as they received last year for an
eight hour day for all men working, above
ground and for abolition of the system
whereby the men push the cars from
the entries. The operators conceded the
wage scale, offered to increase the pay of
firemen 20 cents a day and to adopt a
uniform wage scale for all help above
ground in lieu of the demand for eight
hours, but refused to abolish the pushing
of cars from the entries.
The matter was then referred by the
joint conference back to the local unions
to vote upon and if they accept the prop
osition, another joint conference is to
be called. Otherwise the strike continues.
President Mitchell left for Wilkesbarre
tonight. He advised the men to accept
the proposition of the operators and end
the strike. -Ih

GROWTH IS PHENOMENAL.
Meat Packing Industry of the United
States Is Enormous,

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The CEN
sus bureau, in report on the slaugh-
tering and meat packing industry of
the United States for the census year
1900, issued today, says that the der
velopment of this industry during the
last half century has been almost
phenomenal During that period cap
ital invested has grown from $3,482,-
500 to $3.50, 198,264; the number Of
wage earners from 1926 to 1854, and
value of products from $11,S91,6 42 to
$7S5,562,433. For 1900 the report
shows a capital of $1S9, 198,264 invest
ed in land, buildings, machinery, tools
and implements, and the live capital
utilized.
The value of products is given at
$785, 562, ABB, which involved an outlay
of $10,123,247 for salaries of officials,
clerks, etc.; $33,457,013 for wages
$24,060,412 for miscellaneous expenses,
including rent, taxes, ETC.; $683,583,577

and fuel. There were 921 establish

but not of the kind acceptable to the
majority, went to their death. Among
these were the measure giving state
hood to Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma, and the measure providing
for the election of United States sem
ators by direct vote of the people;
while the infamous scheme to extract
millions from the national treasury,
known as the ship subsidy bill, is left
unscathed, with reasonable prospect
of its enactment when congress meets
at the next session.

remedial measure was even seriously
considered which might tighten the
burdens of the people or could in any
manner restrain the eXactions of the
trusts and monopolies which have lit
orally throttled the life of the nation.
Unless the glitter of militarism has
blinded the American people to the
enormities which have been perpe-
trated throughout the past term of
congress against the rights of the peo-
pie and destructive of their constitu-
tionaI liberties, the forthcoming con-
gressional elections will tell in their
results very interesting story of pop

COAL is CHEAPER HERE
NEW YORK is ACTUALLY PAYING
MORE THAN ST. PAUL.
Effects of Strike Shown in Greatly De-
creased Supply of Coal in Dockage-
of Ordinary SuppIy-Anthracite
Will Not Go Higher Than $8.25.

Local consumers of COAL especially
users of the hard variety, may be in
cIned to doubt the statement but it is
fact that the Sanity City, and the
entire Northwest for that matter, are
being supplied with the anthracite ar
t1cle cents cheaper on the ton than
their brethren in New York and the
East.
New York is the home of the anthra-
cite product, and under ordinary cir
cumStanceS consumers there pay on an
average Of Sc SO a ton. Today dealers
are asking So ton, and they are get
ting it and without any quibbling. This
is for spot cash delivery. In st. Paul.
and in fact all over the Northwest,
$S.O5 ton is asked, which, allowing
for dockage and freight charges, makes
1T cents cheaper on the ton than in
the East, where dealers and consumers
have 1t at their very doors. There
consumers have had to suffer an in
crease over ordinary figures of nearly
$2 ton. Here the increase is less than
one third.
What the hard coal strike is doing
to the Northwest is shown by the fact
that the supply in the cribs at Duluth
is 40 per cent less than the average,
and that two of the big dealers are
without pound of this kind of coal.
Others lack some of the sizes, but this
uIIiiCutly Is ONSrCOIn0 Dy one ur1n 6X-
changing with another.
In order to overcome the dockage
charges which prevail, there will be an
increase of 10 cents on the ton on the
lst of August, and an additional 10
cents on the LIST of September, which
will bring the price up to So. % a ton,
but it will not be any greater. Dealers
assure these figures and are taking or
ders on this basis, but no prices are
| made beyond that date. Retailers and
consumers are invariably advised to
| buy at once. If the hard coal strike
continues until lake navigation closes,
all coal will have to be brought by rail
and then consumers will have to pay
the difference. With the strike now
on not pound can be bought by
the dealers. They rely solely on their
stocks at Duluth.
The interest of the coal men is Just
now centered on the meeting
of strike leaders called for
! on the 18th. The proposition is made
to call out all the soft coal miners, and
If it prevails industries that use this
product will have to close down. The
railroads now have on hand only about
SO per cent of what they ordinarily
| carry, and the dealers are proportion
ately short. This is due to the fact that
the East is using large quantities since
its anthracite supply has been cut.
