mrs. ]. P. MORGAN PRESENT
ATTENDS THE ANTHRACTTE COAL
COMMISSION HEARING.

RebuttaI Testimony Commenced by the
Miners-AIIeged Restriction Of Coal
Production introduced Before the
COMMUNICATION Rather Tired Out
Restriction of Coal Output.
Philadelphia. Feb 3.-Much of the re.
buttal testimony presented to-day to
the anthracite coal strike commission
was furnished by miners working on
the upper region. In this section the
miners are asking for payment by
weight. The witnesses in every case
were questioned concerning the advan-
tage of such change in the wage scale
and all were unanimous in the opinion
that the method was the only just one
Where the veins were fat. Commits
sioner Watkins asked G. D. Gallagher,
a miner employed by the Delaware and
Hudson company, if he did not think g
daily wage rate would be satisfactory
to the men. The witness thought so,
but ventured the opinion that the min
ers would not work to the limit of their
ability if that method obtained.
Other witnesses were called to testify
concerning the alleged restriction of the
coal production, and considerable evil
dence was introduced regarding condi-
tions in the coal region during the
strike. Rev. H. ]. McMahon, rector of
the Roman Catholic church at Miners
Vile, said committee of union mine
workers called upon. him about four
weeks after the strike began and re-
quested him to counsel his parlshloners
against acts which might bring the
strikers and the union into disrepute.
Similar advice, Father Mcmahon said,
was offered in other churches. with the
result that there was no disorder in
that vicinity during the progress of the
strike
Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan was present
for short time during the morning
session.
At the afternoon session c. D. Gala
CHER, of Plymouth. miner in the en-
ploy Of the Delaware and Hudson, was
questioned in regard to the alleged re-
striction of the output of coal. He
knew Of no cases wherein the miners
were responsible for this condition, but
stated that what limitations were made
were the result of the companys fail
ure to furnish enough cars. Regarding
the question Of payment by weight he
said he believed coal should be weighed
before leaving the mine. In answer to
questions by Commissioner Watkins
the witness thought that payment by
the day would be desirable for the min
eTs, but something of a disadvantage to
the operators, because under that meth
cd the men would not work as hard as
they do at present.
Rev. Father Mcmahon, of Minersville,
said the mine workers union had used
its influence to maintain order during
the strike but that the strikers had on
several occasions been guilty of slight
misdemeanors. The officials of the
union feeling that acts of the kind
would initiate against the successful
issue of the strike, requests were made
to all the clergymen in the vicinity to
suggest to their congregations the ne
cessity for preserving the peace during
the strike from that time until the end
of the strike there.

The Iron Crown.

The "iron crown" which worked up
the minds of the people of the middle
ages to such an extent as finally to be-
come an object of worship, is, in fact,
a gold crown, the secret magic of the
name resting on the tradition that the
inside ring of iron was made from the
nails which were driven through the
hands of Jesus at the time of the cru
cifixion.
But little is known concerning the
history of the iron crown until after
the coronation of Agilulf, king of the
Lombards. 1t is generally believed that
it was made for that monarch in the
year sol. 1t was used by Charlemagne
and by all the after emperors of France,
who were kings of the Lombards. Ma
poleon put it on his head when he was
in Milan in 1906, saying. God hath
given it to me-"
This celebrated relic is now in Ma
pies among the state jewels. 1t was
captured and taken by the Austrians to
Vienna in 1859, but was returned to It
ally in 1866. Believers in the sacred
hoop of iron inside the crown point to
the fact that there is not a speck of
rust upon it, although nearly 1000
years old.-Exchange.

A Neglected Glass.

When looking around to discover so
cial grievances or to find subjects for
philanthropic work, why has no one
thought of the hotel maids and wait
ers? Their lives are hard, for they
have long hours and must be on duty
both early and late. Their time OFF is
taken in snatches, and they seldom get
a whole day.
A kind lady, observing this at no
tel, asked her husband to give his morn
ing paper every day to the man who
waited at their table. The gratitude
expressed showed how tedious the man
found his idle time when he was ION
duty" but had nothing to do and moth
ing to read.
A book or paper to chambermaid,
hallboy or elevator boy is often more
gratefully received than the ever well
come tip.
A little consideration as to unusual
demands meets with equal apprecia
ton. Any one who has travelled much
and not kept his eyes shut soon learns
that hotel work is hard for those who
do it regularly and continuously and
soon becomes willing to be less exact
ing and more aware of certain needs in
those who serve which cannot be sup
piled by gifts of money. A little per
sonal interest is worth much more in
many cases.-Philadelphi Ledger.

A STARTLING Development is made by
the papers filed in the Pension Bureau in
the application of Admiral Simpsons
widow for pension. 1t seems that for
years before his death, Admiral (then
Capt. Sampson was suffering from organic
brain disease, which manifested itself in
aphasia or inability to speak or use the
right word. In April, 1897, he was so in
capacitated as to become a patient at the
Naval Infrmary in Philadelphia. Some 10
months later, in January, 1898, while he
was in command of the Iowa, he was
again incapacitated by the same malady
which lasted a month. This heralded the
breaking down of his faculties, and of the
troubles which led to his death. His case
was much the same as that of Representa-
tive Boutelle, who was so universally popu-
lar, but who finally had to be sent to a
hospital, where he died. Aphasia is gen.
orally accompanied by agraphia, and it is
pointed out in this direction that the ia
nous 4th of July dispatch announcing his
victory was not written by him, but by one
of his Aids. There is little significance in
this, since dispatches are frequently writ
ten by the Aids of commanding officers.
