Scranton. Pa. (SpeciaD The mine
workers, after occupying nineteen days
in presenting about 100 witnesses,
closed their case before the Anthracite
Coal Strike Commission Tuesday The
afternoon session was one OF the most
important sittings the commission has
yet held. because the question OF
whether the close relationship OF coal
carrying railroads with the mining COM
panies shall figure in the commissions
effort to adjust the controversy, came
squarely before the arbtrators The
decision OF the commission, il Chair
man Gray's remarks can be so called,
was briefly this
That the commission in a general
way, is averse to widening the scope
of the investigation beyond the terms
OF the submissions OF the miners and
the operators; that in carrying on the
investigation it assumes the coal com
panies can afford to pay fair wages; hat
il the coal companies, in presenting
their side OF the case, maintain they
cannot afford to give an increase in
wages, then the commission will hear
what the miners have to say on the
ability of the companies to do SO and
hat il a business cannot pay tair wages
the employer ought to get out of it.
These points were brought out during
he two hours consumed by the min
,rs lawyers reading documentary evil
lences to the whole of which the COM
)anies entered specific and general OBJ
ections
The mine workers depend great
leal on the evidence they have to pre-
,ent to show that the coal-carrying rail-
Dads control the coal companies. and
hat the railroads charge exorbitant and
discriminating freight rates, thus great
decreasing the revenues of the min
ng properties. The miners wanted to
PRESENT this evidence in documentary

To the President OF the United States

Sir-The undersigned having met
with the purpose of offering their aid
to the government OF Venezuela in the
present conflicting situation which has
been created by the aggressive attitude
of Germany and Great Britain, and up
on your request to give our opinions in
writing, we address you in the follow
ing terms
In view OF the acts of violence al
ready committed and of the absolute
impotence OF Venezuela to meet force
with force in response to the allied ac-
ton OF Germany and Great Britain, in
view of the fact that Venezuela has
exhausted all the means required by
civilization and diplomacy to put an
end to the present situation, and the
government and the people OF Ncne-
zuela having complied honorably and
worthily to the demands of national
honor, we consider. with all due respect,
that the moment to yield to force has
arrived.
We, therefore, respectfully recon-
mend that full powers be given to the
Minister of the United States OF North
America authorizing him to carry out
proper measures to terminate the pres
ent conflict in the manner least preju-

In addition to the names given, the

prominent citizens OF Caracas.
The awakening OF the Venezuelan
people to the present situation OF their
country is accompanied by feelings Of
bitterness and sorrow. Their fleet has
been destroyed and their pride has been
deeply wounded, but they are resigned
to accept the affront which they CON
slider has been offered them by the
allies.
During the last 10 days President
Castro has acted with extraordinary en-
ergy. He has transformed the entire
country into vast camp having rails
ed more than 10000 men, whom he has
we'll armed, equipped and transported
from every direction to Laguayra and
Puerto Cabelo, in the expectation that
the allies would attempt to land at one
or both OF these points.
But there has been a change OF feel
ing, and the prominent men OF Vene-
zuela who were at one time ready to
lead the people in the defense Of their
country. now consider that justification
TO take the men OF the republic away
from their families and their work does
not exist. They have resolved to dis
cover a means to bring about arbitra-
ton, or at least treat with the allies.
The means sought is thought to lie
through. the United States legation, and
satisfactory results are on every hand
expected to follow.
A member OF the ministry said The
United States has not prevented the
allies from assailng us, but It has
obliged them to accept oar terms

that as the foreign warships did not fire
upon the inhabitants of Puerto Cabello
the act of shelling the fort did not con-
sttute violation of international law.

POULTRY POINTERS.

"A safe rule in feeding is to give
enough to satisfy and no more.
Droppings should not be allowed to
accumulate in the poultry house longer
than week. {5&&a# q 4 3 @.z,~2 3:
Bone dust supplies an abundance Of
bonemaking material and connteracts
any tendency to diarrhea.
When possible, give the poultry house
a southern exposure and furnish that
side with an abundance Of light.
While wheat is one Of the best grains
to feed to fowls, it should not be fed to
excess or it may cause diarrhea. Feed
it with other grains.
Loss Of feathers is generally caused
by want Of green food or want Of a
dust bath. Supply both, and, as local
application, use mercurial ointment.
Breed the best flesh formers for mar
ket; then feed them up to as great a
weight as possible. Well fattened, well
dressed poultry bring the best prices.

every one. We will cheerfully correct

write good naturally If you can, but
write to us anyway. Do not complain
to some one else first or let the matter

How Mans Life Was Saved at the
Very Last Moment.
The following stirring incident Of the
two flags happened at Valparaiso,
Chile, and was related at Montreal IN
1881 by the Rev. DR.. ]. O. Peck. DR..
Peck said:
The man who gave me the facts i
am about to relate was Mr.. Haskins,
an American sailor who had sailed to
81 port in Chile. On going ashore. he
said, to enjoy his day OF liberty he
drank little and became hilarious.
One Of the police officers. instead Of
warning him not to make a noise In
the street, drew his sword and, strik-
ing him a blow, Knocked him down.
On that the American sailor got up
and knocked the policeman down IN
return. He was on that arrested and
tried and condemned to be shot in the
porning Of the following day.
Mr.. Loring, the American consul, ex-
postulated with the authorities that It
would be monstrous to shoot the man
for such an offense, but they paid no
attention to him. SO he thereupon made
a formal protest in the name Of the
United States government against the
barbarous act Mr.. Haskins, the sail
or, was In the morning brought out
pinioned to be shot
"As the English consul was prepar-
ing to hoist the union Jack he saw the
crowd in the field opposite, where the
execution Of the American sailor, Of
which he had heard, was to take place.
Rushing over the American consul, he
said, .Loring, you're not going to let
them shoot that man?
s.s'What can I do? he said. I have
protested against it. i can do no more
s"Quick as thought the English con-
sui shouted, Give me your flag! And
In a trice the stars and stripes were
handed to the English representative.
At once, taking his own union jack In
his hand, he FASTENED across the field,
elbowed his way through the crowd
and soldiery, and, running up to the
doomed man, he folded the American
flag around him and then laid the I'M
ion jack over it. Standing few PAGES
back, he faced the officers and soldiers
and shouted dedantly, Now, shoot, II
you dare, through the heart Of Eng
land and America!
'sAnd they dared not do it, for they
feared the consequences, SO the man
was at once released. In telling me-"

It is q popular joke to say that there
are but SIX horses in Venice, four over
the portico OF st. Marks cathedral and
two bronze animals OF heroic size, one
bestrode by Victor Emmanuel and the
other by General Colleone But this IL
mistake. There are four other
horses, also OF bronze, III the Church
OF St John and ST Panl, and quite q
number Of plaster and marble In the
different public buildings, maHng alto
gether at least fifteen or sixteen. Rus
kin and other competent critics have
declared the statue OF Colleone to be
the best equestrian monument ever
cast In bronze. It was designed and
cast by Andrea Verrocchio, painter,
sculptor, jeWeler, engraver, poet and.
musician, man Of infinite genius,
whose greatest fame lies in the fact
that he was the instructor Of the great
est artists Of all centuries Michael

not SO highly thought Of. 35.s. !.
The horses on the top OF ST. Marks
are famous and have had trying ex-.
perience. They date back to the pre-
historic age and are supposed to be the
work Of Greek artist named Lyssip-
pus and designed for sculptured char
lot. They were taken to Rome during
the empire and first used as ornaments
upon a triumphal arch erected by Nero
and afterward By Trajan.. The Em-
peror Constantine took them from
Rome to Constantinopl where the
Doge Dandolo seized them as loot and
brought them to Venice When Napo-
leon entered the city in 1897, he had
them taken down from the roof OF the
cathedral and shipped them in wagons
over the Alps to Paris. They served
as ornaments upon the triumphai arch
In the Place du Carrousel till 1916,
when Emperor Francis I. Of Austria
redeemed them, and they were replac-
