Coal Strike Commission to MAKE
Award Within the Month.
Philadelphia, Feb. 16.-Several car
loads of books and records, typewrit-
ers. cabinets and duplicating machines
are all that is left to show that the
greatest hearing in the history of the
Republic took place in this city. The
anthracite strike commission is gone.

struggle. left the city Saturday night,
and the two-score nonresident lawyers
who participated in the battle of
giants have returned to their homes.
The big force of stenographers, copy
lists and clerks, each one an expert,
have moved back to Washington.
after having successfully completed
the greatest contract for shorthand
ever executed in the country, a mat
ter of 100000 words duplicated 100
times.
The report of the commission will
include two publications. The first
will be a brief summary of the case
and the award. the second an elabor-
ate. detailed discussion of the whole
proposition; an analysis of all the
schedules and a review of all the evil
dence. This publication, it is believed,
will be the most notable contribution
to the labor literature of the world
ever made.
It is admitted by both sides that the
commission will award the mine work
ers an increase in wages amounting
to at least 10 per cent. 1t is also be-
loved that nine-hour worlday will
be made obligatory and that the op-
orators viii be called upon to aban-
don the system OF paying miners b.
the car. Whether the new system viii
be based on the weight or the yardage
or days wages cannot be forecaste1,
but it is almost a certainty that the
car system will be abandoned sooner
or later.
It is aEo believed that the mine
workers will be severely censured fol
violence; the boycott will be con
demned. and the United Mine Workers
of America will not be recognized as
an organization in the finding. 1t is
an open secret that the company store
will be condemned and ordered abol
ished. The award will be made within
the month, and the report filed some
time within three months.

not demand to shirk work, as is often
claimed to be the case. It is demand
for the right of the individual to have
a better life. fuller life, completer
life; and this, like everything else, de-
pends upon your point of view. There
is only one standpoint from which you
have a right to approach this question
and that is what will make the best
man. the best American citizen, to build
up nation where there will be no
more strikes and no more violence.
Other gentlemen may measure it in
dollars and cents. l shall not"
In closing he said: This contest is
one of the important contests that have
marked the progress of human liberty
since the world began-one force point
ing one way, another force the other.
Every advantage that the human race
has won has been at fearful cost.
Every contest has been won by strug-
gle. Some men must die that others
may live. It has come to these poor
miners to bear this cross, not for them
selves-not that, but that the human
race may be lifted up to higher and
broader plane than it has ever known
before"

A BIG HOTEL BILL.
bridegroom Thought Expenses OF
Married Life Were Heavy.

Matrimony sometimes comes high,
but that cuts no ice with the man who
once gets the marriage microbe as big
as a river shrimp in his veins. And
the older the victim is when the dis
ease fastens its fangs in his system
the less he cares for expenses. and he
will spend his last dollar as if it were
a withered leaf and he owned whole
forests of fall frost touched trees.
Every one knows this peculiar weak
ness of the newly married man, and
he is looked upon as easy money. To
get his bank roll is like taking candy
from a baby. The chances are a thou
sand to one that he has Dragged to
the girl about the big salary he is
earning until he believes it himself
and starts out to make Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt look like a thirty cents a
day clerk.
But about the worst proposition one
of them ever ran up against happened
in New Orleans a day or two ago. He
finally succeeded in winning a charm
ing woman for his wife and, after
spending few days at Bay st. Louis,
returned to this city and put up" at
one of the leading hotels. He and the
proprietor were well known to each
other. and, as the landlord knew that
nothing was 100 good for his friend,
the best in the house was placed at his
disposal.
The couple remained at the hotel two
4 days. and then the bridegroom called
for his bill. When he saw it, his young
wife came near being a widow.
The bill was for the modest sum of
/ $4,000 and bore the businesslike in
scription, please settle" Making an
excuse to get away from the desk, the
Benedict hastily sought a friend and
asked his advice. "Send your check
for the amount" was the advice he re-
ceived. Thinking that any fool friend
could have given that kind of advice,
the man went away back and sat down
to think the matter over.
Finally it dawned upon him that the
bill was hoax, and, taking his
friends advice, he wrote check on
an imaginary bank and sent it to the
landlord, who then sent him receipt
ed bill.
The whole transaction was like buy
ing a gold brick with counterfeit
money.
But the man nearly dropped dead
when he first got the BILL and now he
SAYS that the next bridal trip he takes
he will either make a written contract

a minute, and then he came into the
room where mother and / were. He
carried a hatchet. Still without say
ing word, George went and stood
right in front of mother, He raised the
hatchet and struck her a horrible blow.
The shock and terror made me fall to
the floor. George came over to where
/ was and struck me with the hatchet
Then without a word he left the room
and locked the door as he passed out. u
One sister collapsed as she was
Obliged to point to her brother as the
murderer, and the other two went into
Mysteries when they mentioned his
name. The jurys verdict was that:
Mrs. Nelil came to her death from the
result of blows administered by her
son, George Nelk.
