OPERATORS FIGURES
ATTACKED BY
MINERS
Chairmpn of Anthracite Com
mission Has to Interfere
for the Protection of the
Reading Company's statis-
tician ON the Witness
Stand.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4.-Several
interesting incidents occurred during
today's sessions of the anthracite COM
mission. The morning session was en-
livened by the rigid cross examination
of H. D. Newcomb, a statistician of
the Reading company, by Attorney
DarroW, for the miners, and spirited
passages between the lawyer and the
Witness Several times Chairman Gray
felt impe1led to interfere on behalf of
the witness, admoniShing counsel to be
less severe i'll his criticism of Mr.. New
combs statements and figures. AT
the afternoon session counsel for the
operators intimated that the other side
was endeavoring to break it's agree
ment with the operators regarding the
basis of percentage in arriving at a
definite conclusion as to the earnings
of contract miners.
Numerous witnesses have testified
that the operators statements present
ed to the commissioners show only the
gross earnings of the contract min
ers and fail to account for the division
of money with the helpers. Counsel
for the companies admitted that the
books accounted for the wages paid to
the contract miners only, as the help
erS were paid by the miners. This
fact having been previously stated to
the commission and an agreement hav-
ing been reached by both sides as to
the manner of making deductions in
order to learn as near as possible the
actual earnings of the miners, the op-
orators counsel characterized as far
cical the calling of so many witnesses
to attack the companies figures.
DR.. Charles Neill, assistant recorder
of the commission, was asked by
Chairman Gray to state the agreement
and at the conclusion of DR.. NeilPs
statement, the chairman said the par
ties to the controversy could not make
agreements which would necessarily be
acceptable to the commission, although

wenden Phillips and the Negro Slave.

At the close Of the Civil war and be-
fore he was we'll known, Wendell Phillips,
the distinguished abolitionist, went to
Charleston and put up at hotel. He
had breakfast served N his room, and
was waited upon by former slave.
Mr. Phillips seized the opportunity to
represent to the negro in a pathetic way
that he regarded him as a man and a
brother and that he himself was an aboli-
zionist. The negro, however, seemed more
anxioups about his BREAKFAST than he was
about his position in the social scale OF
the condition of his soul, and finally Mr..
Phillips became discoura ged. and told
him to go away. saying that he could
not bear to be waited on by slave.

HIS RESIGNATION IN.
Could Not See His Way Clear to Share
Salary With Wife and Quit.

Raymond A Fox, for twelve years
employed in the city engineers de-
partment, has resigned his position be-
cause he would not accept the ultima
tum of certain city officials to allow
his wife one-half of his salary.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fox have lived separ-
ately for a long time. Frequent COM
plants have come to the city attorney,
city treasurer and city engineer be-
cause Mr.. Fox declined to provide for
her. The matter recently assumed
such a form that the city engineer was
compelled to take a more than passing
interest in the matter.
Before the end of last month on ad-
vice of other city officials, he informed
Mr.. Fox that he would either have to
allow his wife half of his salary or his
resignation would be expected. The re-
suit was that Mr.. Fox resigned.
During City Engineer Sublette's ad-
miniStration Mr.. Fox was connected
with the sewer department.

According to an expert writer in
the Petit Bleu, the heyday of diamonds
has gone, at least on the Continent.
Diamonds are succumbing to three
kinds of evolution:
O The evolution of moral taste.
1t is now considered bad form for la
dies and gentlemen to advertise their
wealth by display of diamonds.
(2) A scientific evolution. Thanks
to this diamonds are so wonderfully
we'll counterfeited, that they are no
longer the sign of wealth. The larger
and the more numerous the diamonds
the more they are suspected of being
false.
(3) The evolution of artistic taste.
The diamond admits of hardly any va.
ration in shape or composition.
The great Continental artists of to-
day in the jewelry line use gold, silver,
even copper or iron, and produce with
them little marvels of art, in which
the diamond hardly ever enters, unless
In very minute and accessory way,
IN order to animate" the whole.
