Both Operators and Miners VIII Complain
to ConoIllators.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 22.--When the
Cancellation board meets here on Thurs
day the operators will have grievances
to be adjusted as well as the miners.
The operators will take exceptions to
the many petty strikes, which cause much
inconvenience and annoyance. They will
complain also that non-union men are be-
ing interfered with and that the coal out
put is lessenged by the practice Of en-
ployes remaining idle on certain days
without permission.
The miners will charge that some Of the
men active In the strike have not received
work since, that the award Of the COM
mission has been violated by a change In
the conditions Of mining at many places
which does not permit the miners to
make as much now as before and that the
operators have broken an old custom in
the Schuylkill region by having the men
work an hour longer on Saturday.

the careless handling of a revolver by

There was suggestion that the shoot

retirement from the cabinet of Postmaster
General Payne may have some foundation
in the fact that he is in wretched physical
condition For many years he has had
stomach trouble. This trouble has resulted
in a weak heart, and even when matters
are going forward smoothly he has much
difficulty in keeping Well. During the
presidential campaign of 1900, it will be
remembered, his condition was such that
for a period of two weeks, in October,
while the campaign was at its height, he
was compelled to go to his home in Wis
consin for rest and quiet.
The present postoffice investigation is
proving too strenuous for his constitution,
and it is generally believed that he would
have resigned some time ago but for the
fact that he was put under fire by the
outcome of the Tulloch charges He made
a mistake in the beginning Of the investi-
cation by treating those charges lightly;
but just as soon as it was discovered that
there was something in them he went to
work earnestly to uncover the entire sit
uation as outlined by Tulloch.
His political enemies gave him no credit,
however, for good faith in this matter,
and they have succeeded in making his
position rather uncomfortable. But If they
think he will retire from the cabinet under
fire, even if in poor physical condition,
they don't know him.

spot so wild and romantic could be

He informs us that near the centre Of
this territory is an imitation Niagara, a
cataract with waterfall of sixty five
feet, at the base of which is pool OF
crystal water in which the minnows
play all day long and from which tho
sparkling bubbles start singing and
dancing along on their way down to
the old Kentucky River, mile away.

Ghosts with No Oririnalftx.


When you have read one Of these
stories you have read them all. Al
though the behavior Of ghosts may ap.
pear eccentric when judged by the
standard of conduct prevailing among
the living, their habits are, in fact,
most regular, they seem to possess the
little character Of originality, and prob
ably them ideas are very limited. Some
of them walk along the passage or up
the stairs; others knock on the walls
or furniture, ring bells, slam doors or
break croclery; now and then you
come across one who shrleks; and
there seem to be few specimens who
appear land disappear). But their fac
ulties do not go beyond this. A very
remarkable proof of their limitations
or their slavish adherence to tradition,
is that, though 1 have before me at
the present moment a dozen authen-
ticated ghosts who have been heard
walking upstairs, there seems to be no
case on record in which ghost has
been heard walking down. Why any
body should think 1t worth while to
chronicle the movements of such unin-
teresting creatures, 1 cannot UNDER
stand. An account of the days do
ings Of flock of sheep would be
very much more exciting.-London

plumy tail wags most persuasively.
