Consults No One.

The wonderful organizing ability of
Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan was being dis
cussed among party Of bankers,
when one asked:
DO you suppose that he originates
all his schemes, as a general does his
war maneuvers, and then directs his
associates to put them in execution, or
do you think he first consults his part
ners and gets their opinions?"
II do not think that Mr.. Morgan ever
consults any one," replied the one who
assumed to know. His will is dom
inant. l am told that even at bridge
whist he never asks his partners per-
mission to play."-New York Times.

J. F. Wainwright, Of the firm Of
Bones & Wainwright, painters and

or five times a year for the past few
years I have suffered with severe at

kidney trouble. During these spells
was in such misery from the constant
pain and aching that it was almost i'm
possible for me to stoop or straighten
and it really seemed as if the whole
small of my back had given away. At
times I also had difficulty with the
kidney secretions which were discol-
ored, irregular and scalding, and was
also greatly distressed with headaches
and dizziness. I used a number OF
recommended remedies but never
found anything so successful az Doan's
Kidney Pills. When l heard Of them
I had an attack and procured a box
of them. In a few days the pain and
lameness disappeared, the trouble
with the kidney secretions was cor
rected and my system was improved

In small cafe close to the Grand

the following notice posted on the
walls:
customers who find the price of
drinks somewhat high are requested to
address any complaints they may have
to make direct to the minister of
finance"
This is an allusion to the tax on al
cohol imposed by the minister. AS an
electioneering device it is almost

Too Much for the Jockey.


James r. Keene, anticipating the
opening of new racing season, went
outside his own wide experience as
an employer Of jockeys when he re-
lated a story concerning an over.
anxious horsepower and a particular
ly conscientious rider. The horse
owner had issued full orders as to
the way horse was to be ridden in
a coming race to a small negro boy,
the only rider he could secure. The
original orders then were added to,
with provisions for all sorts Of emer-
gencies, until the jockey became be-
wildered. J." ~ ~ a i .=>:*.. :

of GriavaneAa-

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 4. - The
strike at the Red Ash colliery may de
velop into a protracted- struggle. The
800 miners have been out for II days,
and the leaders of the United Mine
Workers have informed them that
they could not and would not sane
ton their course, and for that reason
they could not give them any sup
port or order them to return to work
under the existing circumstances.
Notwithstanding this state Of af-
fairs the strikers refuse to return to
work until the officials of the mine
reinstate the employe discharged by
pne of the mine bosses, and they pro-
pose to continue the strike upon their
themselves right before the public
the strikers have made an official
statement. which, in brief, is as fol-
lows:
I've ask the reinstatement Of
Marsh Harlan, the driver, who was
discharged without cause.
2-We demand the award Of the
commission in full on gross earning
to all miners who work under the Red
Ash Coal Company on all prices paid
prior to April. 1902.
3-That the dynamite powder be
equalized in price as it is sold under
the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal
Company.
I've ask that the house coal for
employees be reduced to the same
price as under the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Goal Company, as promised.
5-We ask that the whistle shall
blow in proper time, and not keep US
working for five or more minutes
after time without pay.
6-After taking into consideration
the Red Ash Coal Company, from its
beginning, that the relations have
been harmonious between the en-
ployers and employees until our pres
ent superintendent came. and that
since January, 1901, we are under the
obligation of having committees on
behalf of some of our fellow workers
almost weekly, until it has become
unbearable, and when, taking this into
consideration, It has not grieved us
alone, but the company as well, we
consider the superintendent the ag-
gressor, and we wish to continue the
harmony that has existed.
Resolved, that we will not work
under his superintendency any long
er. A committee of employees stand
ready at any time to meet the aficials
to try and adjust the above griev-

This reduction was made because of
the large quantity of these sizes of
coal on hand, due to the great textile
strike in this city and the shutting
down of many industrial plants. For
the present the reduction applies only
to this city and points on the Read
