JEALOUSY AMONG MINERS.
Il Has Led to the Adopti0h of = raxed
Plan in Buiiding Their


In the new mining towns In the coal
fields of eastern Illinois stand many
long rows of little houses, all In each
same color, facing the same direction
Why all the houses in each town are
as much alike as peas, the outsider is
always puzzled to know, says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean. He makes many
guesses if he is curious person, but he
never guesses correctly, and unless
some mine owner is talkative enough
to tell of former experiences in build
ing miners homes the outsider will re-
main ignorant on the subject.
Although to outsiders there ap
pears to be no reason. unless it be that
of cheapness for having all the dwell
ings exactly alike there is reason.
and a good one, too. The envy exist
ing among miners living in the poorer
homes for the larger and better built
cottages forced the mine-owners to
adopt the "every- plan. IL
a mine owner now wants to build so
houses he has plans made for one, and
every building is built upon those
plans
If one has a cellar beneath it, all must
have cellars. If one has glass front
door, all must have glass-front doors.
And after the houses are built and oc-
cupied no miner is permitted to add
porch or walk, or to paint his house
a different color from. that of all the
low cottages in the long rows
Until the founding of the newer
towns the builders paid little heed to
the kind of houses they erected for the
miners. Most of the ha bitations were
mere huts of two or three rooms. The
houses were set on the hill around the
mining shafts, or arranged in rows
near creek or a spring, where there
was plenty of water. Some of the
houses were little better than others.
Then came about the feuds between
the families of miners living in four
room houses and those who had to live
IN two-rOom hut. The situation at
last grew so serious that the mine
owners were forced to build all the
houses around the new mines after one
pattern. 1t solved the problem, and
put n end to the quarrels between the
families of the miners. Formerly the
better houses were often burned. but
since the adoption of the new plan
there has been peace.

AN ELECTRIC EYE-OPENER.
Novel Alarm Apparatus That Has
Been Invented by q South
ern Man.

There is in Mobile a gentleman who
in the past has been in the habit of
oversleeping in the morning hours,
and as his business requires that he
come down street early, it is essential
that he should awaken at a certain
hour. Time after time he came late
to his business. in spite of alarm clocks
and other appliances to get his eyes
opened at the proper time. One morn
ing recently he entered the Office on
time to the minute. The others in the
office expressed great surprise at this
unusual event, and asked the whyfore
of it, reports the Mobile Register.
II determined that this business of
sleeping when / should be awake had
to stop, so I called in an electrician
and he fixed me up few things. I
have it SO arranged that at the hour
set light flashes in my eyes. If this
is not successful, and do not get up
and throw the switch, a mosquito bar
and the frame falls on me. If 1 still
slumber and sleep a gong like the one
used on the patrol wagon goes off
Should 1 fail to notice these things,
there is over my bed a bucket filled
with water, having a small nozzle at
tached, and a rachel releases a stop,
SO that a stream of water is squirted
into my face. When 1 sleep through
all these it will be time to order nv

Cinnamon In New York.

The All Sins of Gotham appear to
be steadily increasing in numbers. No
doubt the Celestial population here is
recruited in part by smuggling immi-
grants over the Canadian border: but
1T is also true that New York, above
other American cities, is a magnet
drawing queue wearers from other
places in the United States. But tie
Chinese are here almost without ex-
ception quiet and pc -eable and do no

a disease-breeding pesthole, as Chinese
settlements are said to be in some
regions of Asia and even of America.

He looked into her eyes and saw
the heroine there: the heroine that
he had known was in her from that
first seeing of her in the far-away
southern city. 1t made his love for

the moment he could have met death
at her side with a smile.
With that look to steady him, he

The cloud in the west, which had

mainsail had suddenly grown to hall

little puffs of wind were coming
across the lake.

None the less, Griswold put the
helm of the catboat down and stood
in for the Wahaskan shore. For
few lengths the ''Sprite'' shot ahead,
and then dead calm, the lull before
the approaching storm, came and sat
upon the face of the waters, and the
boat merely rose and fell with flap

Griswold measured the possibilities

Charlotte's fears in mind.
While they waited, the Grierson
launch came around the southern end
of the island, gliding shoreward with
a curling feather of spray under its
cutwater and broad wake of foam
in its track. In midf1ight, however.
the engines were stopped, and when
they were set in motion again, the
launch was made to sweep a short
half circle to meet the coming storm,

his head.

CHAPTER xxx.

AS it happened, the launch party
in which Mr.. Andrew Galbraith was
to be a guest had to be postponed,
after all, on account of the weather.
Though there was no storm during
the afternoon, there was good
promise of one; so Margery went
about to ask the invited ones to save
the afternoon of the following day
for her.
While she was doing this, the good
results of her mornings work among
the wives of the strikers eliminated,
first in a meeting of the men in Labor
Hall, and a little later in a visit of
n deputation of the strikers to the
Office of the iron works. Griswold
and Raymer were both there, and
when the trouble came to be dis
cussed without heat, and with a mu-
tual disposition to give and take, it
was wonderful how the difficulties
were surmounted each in it's turn.
The upshot of the conference was
compromise duly acceded to by all
concerned; and the following morn
ing the hideous steam siren of the
dry within q radius of half a dozen
miles that the long strike was ended.
1t was characteristic of the two
partners that the relaxing of the
strain affected them in diametrically
opposite ways. Raymer flung himself
into the work of the office with all
the joyous abandon of a schoolboy
whose vacation has been over-lono
but Grlswold took a holiday, riotinc
IN his release from the strain, and
meaning to spend the better part of
the day alone on the lake in his cat
boat.
Oddly enough, he was diverted from
this plan not once, but a dozen times
during the forenoon. First he had tn
go with Raymer to be present at the
opening of the firms account at the
Farmers and Mechanics bank. Then
he chanced to meet Griffin, anS when
he would have made mere greeting

social cigar with the detective i1r ...e
lobby of the ST. James.
A chat about everything in gsceral
and nothing in particular went with
the cigar burning. and it was at the
very end of it that Griswold noticed
a most astonishing change come
upon his companion! a change so
marked that he thought fi~iffin was
taken suddenly ill-thought It and
said so.
Griffin shook his head in denial.
