1t is queer how a white politician,
shrewd in so many respects, attach any
credence to the representations of these
fellows and give them either cOunte-

the foxes of the race to faSten itself into

it can be easily seen what disastrous and

of this organization madness, when we

Plenty of Outdoor Sport Will Make
 Them Strong and Healthy.
 At the o'clock mass at St Francis Xavier's church yesterday Father Fleming gave a practical talk regard ing the care of children. After giv. ing his hearers some very valuable hints as to the need of training the mind at an early age in the way 1t should go, he took up the physical side of the question and in the course of his remarks stated that some people bestow too much care on their chill dren. He said that in some parts or the world, Canada for example, when the thermometer is thirty degrees be- low zero little ones, properly clad, of course, can be seen it play, but here in weather such as we now have many keep them in the house and are almost afraid to let them look out through the window lest they catch cold. He con sidered this mistake and took the ground that children would be health fer and less subject to sickness if giv- en an opportunity to have some exer- else. no matter how cold the weather might be. There can be no doubt about the truth of this. Youngsters that get out and toss and tumble in the snow. chase each other through the frozen fields, skate and operate their sleds when coasting is good, rarely ever contract colds while the ones that are housed fall victims to the first chilly blast and are frequent Iy on the sick list. Keep the chil- dren's feet dry and all will be well.

The HI. c. Prick Company's With

 PITTSBURG, Dec. 29.-With the closing of the present year the Fl. c. Prick Coke company passes from the service of the general coke consumers of the country and will devote it's cner- gies to supplying the constituent com panies of the United States Steel cor poration.
 The removal of this large supply of coke from the independent field has done more to stir up capital for new coke operations than anything that has occurred in years. During the past month or six weeks there have been several public announcements of the plans of new corporations to develop coking plants in the western Pennsyl- yania fields, as well as in West Vir- ginia. The latest to appear is that of the Union Coking and Coal company of New York. This corporation has been formed during the past few weeks by eastern men and has secured 8,200 acres of fine West Virginia coal land along the line of the West Virginia Gen. tral railroad

 Train at Hartford.
 Hartford, Dec 20.--When the owd train from Boston reached this city shortly after 3 o'clock yesterday morn ing well dressed stranger approached Officer John F. Sullivan and told him there was man on the train that had more money than he ever saw or ever expected to sec He said he had read of men having big rolls, but there was no roll about the bunch that this man had, as 1t was too big to roll. The po- liceman hurried up to the train and found the man with the money in the baggage car. He learned that the stranger had been making presents of and 10 bills to those he took fancy to and three men who locked like crooks and a good looking young wo- man were trying to become friendly with him, the young woman being espe- cially affectionate to the man of wealth.
 The policeman sized up the crooks and while they wern in the smoker he got the man out Of the baggage car without their krow7edre. One of the men had his coat off and his soft hat damned back on his load as if he were getting ready to tnkc a desperate chance to steal the entire amount. 1t must have been big disappointment for the party when they discovered that their prey was off the train. Officer Sullivan said the men and woman had probably seen the man with the money when he took the train at Boston and they decided to see him through.
 The man was taken to the police sta. tion. where he said his name was Mar tin We1ch and that he lived at No 10 A street, South Boston. After a half hours work his money was counted and it amounted to S2491. There was one s10 gold piece, $135 in s gold pieces. two S1 bills. and the rest was in S5 $1O and S20 bills. Captain Gum and Inspector Collins of Boston count ed the money again last night and they made the same footing as the first count When Welch was locked up Lieutenant Walter Smith telephoned to the Boston police and they said that it was strange that anyone living in the section where Welch said he did had so much money. They said they would inquire into the matter and some time afterwards sent word that Welch had robbed his father of S2, 700.
 Inspector James F. Collins of the Boston police came here last night and took Welch back to Boston. leaving here at 2:30 o'clock this morning. I

The man has money in the bank and also mortgages on prop erty ill different parts of the city. He is not able to do anything about the house and the neighbors have been caring for him for several weeks.

Mir. Ryan says that the operators are receiving a larger price for coal than ever be- fore and they cannot make the ex- cuse that the mines are not paying expenses and that the convention will produce figures to show the total cost of mining ton of coal and give the public an idea of the profit being reaped by the operators. MT. Ryan will attend the convention and will no doubt lead the fight for higher wages.
