yet, considering that these fluids are con-
tinually in contact with glass, either in the
bottle or the tumbler, there can be little
Doubt that traces of the constituents of
glass are ingested. 1t has even been sug-
gested that the practically universal use of
glass in this way in the place of the old
drinking vessels of wood or horn or of the
glass bottle for the leather skin vessel,
has contributed means of rendering the
vermiform appendix easily liable TO an in
fiammatory process by the irritation set up
by silceous particles. This ingenious
theory of the increased prevalence of. APP
pendicits being due to the universal use of
glass for drinking vessels can hardly be Sc
riously regarded when it is considered that

COMMUNICATION FROM CONVICT
Tom O'Brien Vows he Will Kill Mon
taua Officer

BUTTE, Mont, August 2L--With officers
Of the state penitentiary upon his trail, as
sisted by bloodhounds Convict Tom O'Brien,
who last Friday made daring escape from
the state prison, has sent a communication
to the Miner pleading for a public state
ment Of his alleged crime and vowing the
death of Under Sheriff Dave Morgan, whose
alleged perjured testimony, the convict de-
clares, sent him to prison and wrecked his
home. The document received by the Miner
bears the postmark CT Anaconda
The writer dates his communication from
mountain in the surrounding hills of Ana
ccnda, and says that he wrote his story be-
hind a rock, dividing his time between his
Winchester and his pen. The communica-
tion'is a literary freak and no question as
to its authenticity as the handwriting has
been fully identified by the warden Of the
penitentiary and others acquainted with the
criminal.
O'Brien declares his sole object in escap-

From the days of the famous ironclad

OF Panama which are taking place con-

history of naval warfare has been bridsed
by Captain Henry Marmaduke, formerly

both of the vessels named and who has
now Joined the Colombian navy in COM

preston of it's revolution, and will shortly
sail for Colombia aboard the new war YES
sci which has been purchased by Senior
Concha, the Colombian minister at Seattle
The eyes of the great world catch only
a 1eeDle CLINT of the steel that continually
hashes in the republics of South America
and the warfare is dubbed "opera bouffe"
and treated somewhat as a Joke. Yet
South American officials testify that the
death lists Of the battles often exceed
those OF the encounters between tremen-
dous forces of great nations, and Captain
Marmaduke and his two young companions
IN arms are very apt to get a taste Of
good, hard fighting
Service in the Colombian navy should
prove reminiscent to Captain Marmaduke

the isthmus undoubtedly are compared with
the great sea battles between iron and steel
clad battle ships, they still surpass in MIC

JUSTICE HOME FROM VACATION.
Judge Shiras Talks of Retirement and
the Coal Strike.

PITTSBURG, Pa. August 27.-Justice
Shiras of the United States Supreme Court,
who has just arrived in Pittsburg from a
long vacation spent along the northern
shores of Lake Superior. refuses to discuss
his reported retirement from the bench, fur
ther than to say that President Roosevelt
would be the first person to learn of it,
and that he had not received the announce
nent yet.
On, the subject of the anthracite coal
strike, Justice Shiras said:
Arbitration is the logical method of set
Ting labor troubles such as this one, which
affects the general prosperity and comfort
of great section Of the country. The
method and enforcement of this arbitration
IS a subject for the lawmakers of the ma
tion: but arbitration itself is logical.
There is now one great difficulty stand
ing in the way of an arbitration law. Many
OF the labor unions are not incorporated
Until they are no law can be made bind
irg. as no contract or agreement could be
enforced upon them, while the operators
on the other hand. could be held liable.
incorporation of all labor unions is the
primary step toward the passage of an ar
bitration law. The unions must be respon-
sibie for the carrying out of an agreement,
and until they are there is little hope for
compulsory arbitration of labor troubles"

BY September IL the large railway sys-
TENS Of the country will be confronted with
demand by 100000 members of the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen for an increase
in wages which will mean an additional
outlay of S1o0o.o00 a month for wages by
railroads In the country, or the alternative
of strike which will eclipse in its extent
all previous strikes. including the demon
stration of the American Railway Union in

mulated. but not yet presented, are for an
increase Of 20 per cent in wages.
CLEVELAND. August 27.-Assistant
Grand Master Lee Of the Brotherhood OF
Railway Trainmen said today: ut is true
that a concerted movement has been in
augurated by trainmen and conductors en-
ployed on the railroads west of the Mssis-
sppi river to secure uniform rules and
compensation. A vote of the men. which
will probably result in the officers of the
two organizations being authorized TO pre-
sent requests to the various roads for these
concessions, is now being taken. 1t Will,
however, be at least ninety days before the
vote has been completed. There is abso-
lutely no talk of strike, and the possibili-
ty OF such a movement is extremely re-
mote
