New Orleans, May 2O-Tuesday, at

TO disappear soon. This was the i'll

not well when he left his hotel for the
auditorium and has not been in his
usual health for several days. Nothing
but his grim fighting spirit carried him
through the day without something
akin to a collapse.
When the hour for opening the con-
Ventfon arrived the platform was
crowded with fair women and men
whose names are household words
throughout the south. Gen. Gordon's
entrance into the hall was an ova c1on.
Cheer after cheer rang through the
building as he came rapidly down the
aisle leaning on the arm of Adit. Gen.

MINE TIMBER SUPPLANTED.
Concrete Displacing an Old Element
of Danger Underground.

The mining industry in the anthra-
cite region is advancing very rapidly
from the crude to the most progressive
stage, and the miners of forty years
ago would have scoffed at the idea of
putting into execution some of the
modern methods that now predomi-
nate, says a special dispatch from Ha-
zleton, Pa, to the Chicago Inter Ocean.
What miner, for instance, would
have thought even ten or fifteen years
ago that concrete would in the open
ing Of the twentieth century supplant
timber? Yet this is a fact, and con-
crete gives promise of becoming uni
versal in its use, thus relieving to a
great extent the apprehension of tim
Der becoming exhausted.
Concrete is now being used at many
of the operations in walling the sides
OF air ways and openings extending
from the underground channels to the
surface. When so used it makes a
permanent job, lessons the operating
expense and removes a bad feature of
such openings-viz, the dripping of wa
ter that finds its way through the crew
ices of the earth. Many Of these air
shafts and manways are very objec-
tionable because of the water that
drops from the side, not only wetting
the men, but injuring their health as
we'll.
The using of concrete has been but
recently introduced, and the new
shafts and not few of the older ones
are now being lined with ii, the work
being done after the manner in which
the abutments of concrete for modern
railroads are constructed. Besides max
ing a permanent job, it also imparts an
element of absolute safety from caving
in. The shafts are deeply lined, and
mine operators are well pleased with
the new method.

PAIN A STRANGER TO HIM.
Cincinnati Man WhistIed While His
Toes Were Being Cut OF.

Filled to the brim with true Irish wit
and with heart wholly impervious to
care, Thomas Tracy of Cincinnati, o.,
left the City hospital the other day to
go forth and hustle for livelihood I'M
til fate Ordains his return to the inst1-
tuition, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Many times has Tracy been in the
hospital and many times have the doc
tors marveled at his fortitude. Pain to
him seems a stranger and suffering but
q nightmare. The last time Tracy
came to the hospital q wagon wheel
had run over his right foot, MASKING
his toes to a pulp. Amputation was
necessary, and Tracy scoffed at the
idea Of taking an an9sthetic. Instead
groans he gave voice to laughter as
the doctors piled their knives to his
flesh, whistling a tune as one after an
other his toes dropped into the basket
until the last one was gone.
There's many a kick left in that old
foot yet" he said to the doctors May
be some day | will come in and have
the other foot trimmed up a little so
they will look more like mates"
Then Tracy was rolled away to a
ward to wait until the next day, when
it was decided that he was well enough

MINE WORKERS LIVELY DEBATE
Government Ownership of Rail-
roads and Mines Discussed.


Springfield. ILL.,, Feb 1s-The nveliest dis
cnssion since the United Mine Workers OF
Illinois have beer in session occurred this
morning over resolution asking the con-
vention to indorse the principles of govern
ment ownership of railroads and coal mines.
After a heated debate the matter finally
was referred TO the Committee on Resolu-
uons. with instructions to bring in majority
and minority reports.
Secretary Ryan vigorously opposed the
resolution. taking the position that it would
drag the organization into politics. He de-
clared that, If it was proper for the con-
vention to adopt such resolution. II would
be just and proper for anybody else to
bring in resolution favoring any other
political issue Delegates j.. B. Wilson,
Schwartling and others favored the resolu-
tion.
A resolution was introduced providing that
per cent of the net earnings of the organi-
zation be set aside for period of one year
for the purpose of buying coal lands and de-
veloping the cooperative mine movement.
The resolution however, was tabled
A recommendation that the State Mine In
spector be appointed by the Governor. In ac-
