First Plan Partly Carried Out.

It will be noticed that the names of the members as 9announced in the official statement given out at the white house follows, to some extent, the classification suggested in the proposition Of the coal operators. It was thought all along if the miners should agree to the proposi- ton of the operators as made to the President Monday night that the selec- tion from the classification or a distin- guished engineering officer of the army or navy would be restricted to the army, and General Wilson's name was the first suggested in that connection. The other names seriously mentioned in connection with the proposition of the operators that an expert mining engineer should be one of the members were Dr. David T. Day, chief of the division of mineral resources of the geological survey, and MT. Parker one of his assistants and perhaps the best authority on coal in the United States Two of the six members-General Wilson and MT. Parker-and the recorder Commissioner of Labor Wright, live in this city and they are ready to begin their labors at any time. The others, 1t is expected, will be able 10 come here without delay and promptly begin the labors of the commission MT. Parker to- day Is in New Haven, Conn, where he Is attending the convention of the Ameri- can Institute of Mining Engineers. He is a member of the executive council of this Crganization.

Wright Is Satisfactory.

The appointment of Carroll D. Wright as recorder of the commission Is said to be equally satisfactory, and in fact, the statement is made on high authority that, IS constituted. the personnel of the commission is eminently satisfactory both to the operators and the labor lead- CTS.
 Thomas H. Watkins. member of the Presidents coal commission, whose ap- pointment was due to his knowledge Of the coal mining business, formerly was of the firm of Simpson Watkins, of which c. D. Simpson was the senicr member. MT. Watkins was born in West Pittston, forty-flve years ago, but has lived in Scranton for the last twenty years. About four years ago Simpson & Watson sold their coal interests to the Temple Iron company. Since then MT. Watkins has not been actively connect ed with the anthracite business. He is reputed to be a millionaire and largely interested in the Mexican Central and Alamao Gordon and Northern Railroad company. He also has extensive lumber interests in the south and mining inter- eSts in the west

Had Names Ready.

Suggestions have been welcomed from all interested and non-interested sources, and when MT. Mitchell made his appear ance at the White House yesterday morning the President was prepared to submit to him the number of names which he said could not be fairly object ed to. He found the strike leader dis posed to accept without question sever al of the men suggested by the President, but he insisted that organized labor be distinctly recognized and in this view he was heartily supported by the Presi- dent himself.
 It Is understood that Bishop Spalding of Peoria was the Presidents personal choice for a place on the commission, and his selection was particularly pleasing to Mir Mitchell, as he knows the bishop in- timately and has the utmost confidence in his ability and fair -mindedness.
 The appointment of E. D. Clark un- doubtedly was at the suggestion of MT. Mitchell. MT. Clark whose home is in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is the grand chief conductor of the Railway Conductors, and has the reputation Of being man of unquestioned ability and integrity. Six years ago MT. Clark served as one of the arbitrators in a controversy between the Grand Trunk railway and some of it's employees, and is said to have acquitted himself in way most satisfactory to all interests concerned. MT. Clark is at pres- ent the chairman of the Railway Em- ployes federation.

Thomas H. Watkins. the Expert On Handling of Coal, Is a Millionaire and Was Formerly interested
 Tn the Anthracite Region.

Washington, October 16-The greatest satisfaction is expressed here in official circles over the success of the negotia- tions for the settlement of the coal strike. The President himself feels deeply grate- ful for the outcome He regards 1t as honorable to both sides, as securing jus tice to both sides. and. above all, as averting a terrible calamity to the peo- pie.
 MT. Sargent, the commissioner general of immigration, who is a well known la- Dor leader. and who has been prominent in the movement to secure a settlement of the differences between the operators and strikers, is particularly pleased with the outcome of the Presidents efforts to put an end to the strike, especially as organized labor is specifically recognized in the makeup of the arbitration conn mission.
 It is understood for some time past the President has had steadily in view the fact that the only way a settlement could be arrived at was on the basis of com mission of arbitration, and that he has given much time and earnest thought to the personnel of such a commission.

President "Jim" Hill and Lost Wheel

This is a story of how a country school
teacher in North Dakota appealed with
success to James ]. Hill, president OF the
Northern Securities Company, and one OF
the foremost financ1erS of this or any
other country. 1t is vouched for by II.
ID. Hurley, bonanza farmer of Hills
boro, N. d.
Some time ago a man named thinner
man had a bicycle checked on the Great
Northern Railroad from Devils Lake, N.
D., to Hillsboro, N. d. In some uneX-
planned manner the wheel was lost or
went astray and. after waiting week.
Zimmerman wrote personal letter 10
President Hill. addressing 1t to his prl-
vate residence on Summit Hill, ST. Paul
Mr. Hill blue-penciled the communica-
ton, and It was referred to the head of
the proper department of the road. This
man wrote Zimmerman that he had sent
a tracer after the bicycle. and that it
would no doubt turn up in few days
After waiting a short time Zimmerman
communicated with the head of the de-
partment referred to and stated that he
had no business with him, but that he
had written to President Hill personally
and expected proper treatment.
Ordinarily the great railroad magnate
has not the time to look up lost bicycles.
but the persistence of the owner Of tfls
wheel or his letter appealed to hin SONY
how and Hill answered Zimmerma n
promising that he would give the mates
his personal attention. And he did.
In about a week from that time the
bicycle was returned % Zimmerman at
Hillsboro. 1t was badly damaged but
1t had been carefully packed and shipped
by express. To make matters right and
entirely satisfactorv President Hill sent
Zimmerman a mileage book good for 1000
miles over the Great Northern.

Made Them So
After Years Of Heart

Weak and hungry spells indicate a nervous
affection of the heart. The nerves are not
getting the nourishment they need, and unless
treatments speedily begun, disastrous results
are sure to follow. When strengthened, in
vigorated and restored to their normal state
the nervous system abounds in energy, vitality
and nerve-force, and successfully resistS the
attack of disease and decay. DR.. Miles
Nervine is the true nerve tonic, furnishing, as
1t does, the exact element OF nourishment and
strength which the shattered nervous system
requires, Sd that good results, noticeably pro-
nounced, follow the giving of the FIRST few
doses. 1t is a wonderful nerve specific.

MIR. Morgan and the National Game

HarperS weekly.
While idling upon the deck Of an ocean
steamship recently, the attention Of a
group of voyagers, comprising several
prominent Americans and two English
baronets, was directed to the fact that
not less than a dozen passengers were
deeply engrossed in books relating to
bridge whist. Whereupon the merits Of
that fascinating game were discussed,
and differing answers made to the ques-
ton as to whether it would retain, by
virtue of inherent worth, its present ex-
traordinary popularity. The most in
terestinR point however, was reached
when Sir Edward Colebrooke wondered
whether it was quite patriotic for Ameri-
cans to dislodge their famous national
game. Meaning draw poker" calculated

play. 1t is an Ubiquitous game and ought
to be abolished. Nothing could be more
foreign to American ideas. The man who
labeled 1t our typical national game
ought to be shot. 1 never hear it referred
to by that term without wanting to shoot

Strange Case of MIR. skiles.

For years the Rev. Samuel Skiles, Of
Ripley Brown County, ILL.,, had been an
noyed by a large and conspicuous wart
on the back of his hand.
In the effort to remove it he had tried
everything he had ever heard of or could
think of, short of amputating the hand,
but in vain. The wart chung.
At last a member of his congregation
told him that if he would rub 1t with a
grain from a red ear Of corn. at the same
time saying: Leave me, wart, and new
err come back! and then bury the grain
of corn, the wart would disappear for
good.
Mr. Slxiles followed the prescription
faithfully, although he said he had no
faith that It would drive the wart away.
1t didn't.
