l am not vain enough to believe that
this splendid welcome is a personal tribute
to me. In all great movements of this
world the calcilm light falls more brill
liantly on some than on others, but the
credit for the settlement of the great an
thraCite coal strike belongs not to me,
but to the women and children who
suffered bitter privatiOns for five months
in the coal fields that their husbands and
fathers might stand firm to the cause of
justice. [ can hardly discuss the matters
now I'm the hands of the strike consnis-
sion. 1t would be like a man discussing
his own case while IL is i'm court, but |
have an abiding faith in the tribunal
which has in hand the settlement of our
trouble. 1t was not 50 much the strike
of the miners against the owners as 1t was
against the American people l am one
Of those who believe in the people.
Your fellow townsman Mr.. Parry,
prophesied that while there would be a
large crowd here tonight, there would be
no property owners. 1 would not do him
an injustice, for l know him quite well
and he may not be correctly quoted, but
do not consider property as a sufficient
measure of good citizenship. l do not
imagine that all the money Morgan pos
sesses could make a man. Why should a
man like Mr. Parry oppose the urganiza-
Iton of labor? He himself is president of
the National Manufacturers association
he is its walking delegate: manufacturers,
wholesalers, preachers and saloOnmen have
their organizations; surely no one would
deny us workingmen the same rights as
the whisky dealers

Cincinnati, Feb. 1S-Bob Fitzsimmons
and the other members of the Jeffries-
Fitzsimmons boxing combination have
gone to Springfield. Ohio, to give a show.
Fitz attended the Walnut Street theater
last evening and attracted much atten-
ton Billy Delaney and Kid Eagan also
took in a show. Jeffries. who has been
visiting relatives at Carroll. Ohio, will
join the company at Springfield.
Fitzsimmons is not very much inn

He had the nerve to hand me his ex-

joke.
Fitzsimmons carried with him a full

M'eovERN ARRESTED.
His Bond Signed by a Priest and Is
Soon DISCHARGED.

Manayunk, Pa, Feb. 1S.-Sergeant
George Dunlap and a squad of police
raided the training quarters of Terry
McGovern, at Kerbaugh's Road Drivers
hotel Sunday, arrested Terry. his broth
er Hughey. Joe Humphreys and Pete
Kennedy. "Crockery" Boyle escaped
through a window.
AS usual, Terry attended early mass
at st. Bridget's Roman Catholic church,
after which he took five-mile run be-
fore breakfast. and about 1870 he
sought the stable to work out with his
sparring partners. "Crockery" Boyle
was the first one up, and boxed three
rounds, followed by Pete Kennedy.
At this juncture Sergeant Dunlap
made his appearance and was readily
admitted by the doorkeeper, who was
told that the crowd was under arrest
foE violating the blue laws against Sun
day work and promoting a prize fight.
Father McCallen. rector of st. Bridg-
cts church, was notified as soon as the
party was taken to The police station,
and he signed the bail bonds of $500
each, releasing the prisoners. Later in
the day Magistrate Adam Ackerman
held a special sitting of court at his
residence and discharged the defend
ants for lack of evidence. The decision
was greeted with cheers.

Miasonri,a Cnaoh-

Columbia, Mo-, Feb. 1S.-It is almost
certain that either John T. Mclean or
David FuItz win coach the Missouri
football team next year Mclean was
the great Michigan half-back and for
the past two years has coached Knox
college Until Mclean took hold Of the
team, Knox was an insignificant factor
in the western football world. Last year
she and Nebraska fought for the honors
outside the big nine. Knox was defeat
ed by Chicago > to 8. and by Nebraska
to 0. She defeated Northwestern Is to
O. When it is considered that Mclean
had very limited material to work with,
his ability as a. coach becomes more ap-
parent. He is excellent both for de-
veloping new material and for perfecting
team work. Knox last year had the
reputation for playing an unusually fast
game.
Dave Fultz is at present one OF the
highest salaried baseball men in the
country. Fultz was q great half-back
at Brown and. was named by Walter
Camp as the half-back of the All-Amer-
lean team at one time. Fultz has
coached Missouri before. and it Is claim
ed here that he did better work than
any man the Tigers ever had. Last
year F'ultz coached the Lafayette team,
and made it a power in the eastern foot
ball world. Students and faculty will
be perfectly satisfied with either Nc
Lean or F'ultz. Dr. Hetherington has
considered no candidates this year ex-
cept those who coached winning teams.

s.LIzzIE THE JOKER'' DEAD
Only West Indian Seal in Captivity
Remarkable Specimen.

New York, Feb. 1S-The only West
Indian seal in captivity has just died.
Her name was Lizzie the Joker and
she was worth $4,000 Her home was
q tank in the New York aquarium, and
when visitors approached to admire her
there she would squirt into their faces
three or four quarts of water.
Lizzie came TO New York in 1896, one
of party of twelve. A ship had gone
to the Caribbean sea for the sole pur-
pose OF securing live specimens OF west
Indian seals, and on this ship, in a
spacious tub, Lizzie and her eleven
friends journeyed to the metropolis.
They met with a hearty welcome
Three went to the New York aqua
rum, two to the Philadelphia Zoolog-
zeal Garden, five to the Tennessee
exposition (Which was then about to
open) and two to Washington. All
died in a little while but Lizzie and
her mate.

years, and they SquiFted hundreds OF

She was extremely intelligent. She
