BOARD or ARBITRATION
HAS TAKEN BRIEF RECESS

SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. N,--1t was learn
ed this afternoon that efforts are being
made or will be made to settle the differ
ences existing between the mine workers
and the operators outside of the COM
mission appointed by the president. and
it is said the contemplated adjournment
will be taken in order to give both sides
a chance to get together.
Judge Gray's remarks at today's session
suggested this conclusion. None of the
attorneys Of either side will say anything
regarding the matter, but 1t is understood
here that in the interval such an effort
will be made.
SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. 21.-The exami-
nation Of DR.. r. H. Gibbons, of Scranton.
was Immediately resumed when the an
thracite strike commission met today.
He said that the occupation of a miner
subjects a man to pleurisy, govt, neural
gia, asthma, bronchitis, sciatica, and other
diseases. He believed that the day would
come when men would be subjected to
medical examination before they under
took mining. Children, he said, who
suffered from any form Of disease
of the respiratory passages, bronchi-
tbs or pneumonia, should never be per-
mitted in the mines under the age of 10
years, because they should have chance
to eliminate the predisposing factor in the
case of the so-calIed miners asthma.
DR.. Gibbons then described the surface
indications of miners asthma, his testi-
mony in this respect not differing essen
TALLY from that given by other expert wit
nesses.
Or. Gibbons was followed by DR.. Eu-
gene ]. Butler, a member of the Central
Poor board of Luzerne county, who testi-
fed that 70 per cent Of those in the poor
house in Luzerne county were miners and
that 40 per cent were crippled by accidents
In and about the mines.
MANY of these" he said, had become
insane through worry over their Attic
ton"
A man who works few years as a
miner, he declared. is not fit for anything
else.
A. X. McCHntic, representing the Lee
high and Wilkesbarre Coal company.
cross-examined the witness, and asked If
IL were not true that a large number of
the professional men and merchants of
Wilkesbarre were men whose fathers and
grandfathers had been employed in the
mines2
eff that is So" witness replied, "the
fathers and grandfathers were the wise
fellows who got out in time. They were
not men who worked for 20 or rs years in
the mines"

Nothing is too fine for you. Tom"
said his wife. 1T was a beautiful
thought, and Just like you. but I shall
feel hurt if you don't smoke it all the

OF course there was nothing to be
said after that. Henniker thought he
would better make UP his mind to make
the best Of it, and that perhaps after
all the meerschaUm would improve in
course of time. He did not tell her
how 1t burned his tongue. The bore
OF II was wrong, and he was afraid
to try to enlarge it for fear of split
ting the amber. So he smoked the old
brier surreptiuously The duplicity of
the thing poisoned his existence and

Mrs Henniker suspected business trou-
bles and worried, too
One day as Henniker was filing the
meerschaum, its shining surface slipped
through his fingers and it fell. With "A
quick movement he stopped and caught
1t before it reached the ground, but
he trembled To think of the nearness
of the disaster. What if he had

We'll" said Mrs. Henniker, why
don't you look at your plate instead
of looking at me-"
Henniker looked at his plate, and be-
side 1t was square package with an
inscription. 1t doesn't ma tier what the
inscription was, but it assured him
that the package was his. He opened
1t, and after unrolling a large quantity
of tissue paper discovered a nice light
green pipe case ana within the case
a white meerschaum pipe.
Henniker acted very we'll His eX-
pressed rapture was beyond cavil, and
he went straight 10 his tobacco jar,
and could hardly be prevailed upon to
wait until he had eaten his breakfast
before he had smoked his present.
When he did, his wife stood by his
chair and watched the filling and light
ing with breathless interest. With the
hrst puff Of smoke, Henniker exhaled
a sigh of supreme satisfaction.
Then you like it, dear?"
Like it," exclaimed Henniker.

show that there can't possibly be any
profit in building ships in the United
states, because so many of them are
being constructed every year. It is
the old principle Of the Hebrew gen
tlemau who, when asked how he could
continue in business and sell goods be-
low cost, replied: BY selling a great
many or them"
The census report is a disillusiouizer.
It's opening paragraph reads: The
growth OF the shipbuilding industry in
the United States during the past ten
years. as shown by the census reports,
exceeds that Of any preceding decade,
and the tonnage constructed during the
census year ending May 81. 1900. was
greater than during any preceding year
in the history Of the United States,
with the possible exceptions of 1854
and 1850. Although in other countries
iron and steel long ago largely super
seeded wood as the chief material used
in the construction Of ships. the CEN
sus statistics show that it was not un-
til the last decade that metal ship
building attained proportions greater
than wooder. IN the private ship yards
of the United States"
It is doubtless true. as the census re-
port states, that it viii be well along
in the next century before American
ship yards will be able to turn out
enough vessels to carry all Of the
American foreign trade. but in the
meanwhile. the foreign vessels are
carrying it quite satisfactorily, and as
all our ship yards are crowded to their
capacity with work now it is difficult
to see how they would be able to do
more through. a subsidy act. There is
a good profit in the business, or so
much capital would not be invested in
it.
The growth of the industry between
1880 and 1900 is fair illustration. In
the year first named there were 1.006
shipbuiding establishments, represent
ing a capital of So. 262. S92. In 1890
there were 116 such establishments,
with a combined capital of S77,S62. 7O1
The aggregate wages and salaries paid
to employees OF ship yards in 1890 was
S14-27S,S19. Ten years later the total
had grown to 1854, 200. The value Of
the output in the same decade in

ticed Henniker's brier and she said
that she liked a pipe, and on several
occasions she actually urged Henniker
10 smoke it. This is undeniable. There
were witnesses to it.
Altogether she is one Of the most
charming women on the whole north
side, and although Henniker has been
married to her now for nearly six
months. he seems to be as devoted as
ever. Perhaps even more so.
The brier was really a gem from E
masculine point of view. 1t was old
of course, so old that Henniker almost
forgets how many years he had it:
but he clearly recoIlects that its origi-
nal cost was 20 cents, and he knew
that no money would tempt him TO part
with it.
Therefore it was quite a blow to Hem
mixer when his wife said one evening:
Isn't that pipe getting a little strong,

himself very much disliked BY the wo-
men of his acquaintance He is also
in a fair way 10 make heaven a mighty
unpopular locality. Very few men
would yearn a little bit TO 90 to heaven
if they we're sure they wouldn't see
any women there.
But does the Bible bear out the Mr..
Kinsman's theory that women don't go
to heaven? 1t is true that women an
gels are not mentioned. but that is
probably because the women in heav-
en-, like the women on earth. are too
modest, too self-efacing TO worry their
way into the record. The Apostle Paul
wasn't overly fond of women. but he
says, in his epistle TO the Hebrews:
Women received their dead raised to
life again: and others were tortured,
not accepting deliverauce, that they
might obtain better resurrection"
Doesn't resurrection, in this instance,
mean heaven? Else why should the
women submit TO torture for the sake
Of their religion?
And, following that. we find in the
twentieth chapter Of Revelation. fourth
verse: And ! saw the souls Of them
that We're beheaded for the witness of
Jesus and the word of God and which
had not worshiped the beast 9
and they lived and reigned with Christ
a thousand years" Why didn't John

gain many Followers.

ADVICE TO NERVOUS PEOPLE.
Systematic Rest, Massage and Proper
Diet Will Work Wonders.

Schulz. writing on mental diseases,
asks: rs our civilization to blame for
this neurotic condition." and the an
swer is in the affirmative. How can
nutrition prosper in the body where
mainutrition holds full sway? And
how can people be happy and healthy
when worry dominates their lives? For
in this human being the lower officers
of the nervous hierarchy draw their
very breath at the bidding Of the
higher powers, and the relation is very
reciprocal, for TO keep the brain
healthy the unconscious nervous func-
tions must be kept in good shape,
proper activities alternating with wise
ly arranged periods OF repose.
Just as soon as one notices the ap-
prOach of nervous irritability, syste
matte nerve rest will shorten an at
tack. and by rest, 1 mean to have the
patient go to bed and have massage
The amount of exercise undergone in
a good scientific massage is equal to
a walk Of two or three miles a day,
and it goes without saying that such
passive exercise should increase the
appetite, and the food digested and en-
joyed Will be well digested and assim-
Hated. l use the word enjoy DELHI
erately, because there are some ner-
voUs inYalids who cannot enjoy their
food unless in solitude. In addition
TO the massage I would recommend
salt rubs, which are very easy to give.
Have a saturated solution of common
table salt. Rub the body briskly, es-
pecially from the spine outward to-
ward the sides of the body, and as
soon as the skin is well Redeemed, wash
off with moderately cool water, and the
chances are all in favor of restful con-
ditiOn. In case persons suffer from
cold feet at night, I could advise the
bathing OF the feet in cold water be-
fore going to bed, and having q hot
water bag always at hand.
Lettuce, celery, spinach, onions. are
ali vegetables especially valuable to
person of nervous temperament, and
milk, hot and cold. is invaluable.

The Lost Needle.

Twenty seven years ago Mrs. Saman-
tha Ambergris. a quiet, modest seam
stress residing in Walnut Grove, Ills.
was sewing a button on her husbands
trousers. Having occasion to thread a
needle, she held il between her lips
while she looked for d spool of thread.
Just then she sneezed violently and the
needle disappeared, nor could she find
il after the most prolonged search.
The incident passed entirely out Of
her mind. One day last week, however,
Mrs Ambergris, who is now an elderly
woman, felt d tingling sensation in the
middle finger Of her left hand She
looked at the finger and saw something
small and sharp prOtruding from the
skin. Applying a pair of tweezers, she
pulled it out. Il proved 10 be a splin-

finger the day before while cleaning

Treatment.

Once on a time there was man who
lived to eat until he was in pitiable
condition and sought medical advice.
The man was quite confident at first,
but when the doctors had removed
about all his viscera, and still he was
no better, he lost heart.
"Of course I'm doomed" he ex-
claimed, dejectedly. It's a cinch, I've
nothing else to cut OUT"
The doctors were nettled at this.
How silly You talk!' said they, Sc
veTely. Our treatment hitherto has
been merely diagnostic, and in no sense
therapeutic. We are now in a position
to decide that what is indicated for
your case is the green searchlight with
buff trimmings. But we cannot cure
you unless you remain cheerful. A
mental incubus will set at naught the
best medical skill
The man acknowledged the justice Of
the rebuke and took fresh courage.
