FOR A FEW DAYS.
The Reading Company's Mines are
Likely TO be Shut Down.

Philadelphia, Oct. 21.-With refer
ence to the report that the collieres
of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal
and Iron Co. may shut down from
October 20 (Mitchell day. until the
day after election day (November ~,
President Baer last night said:
Thursday, October %, is Mitchell
day. The Tuesday following is the
election. We shall be compelled to
close the collieries on both these days.
1t is impossible to work economically
under these conditions. Anticipating
the desirability of shutting down un-
til Wednesday following the election,
rather than work so irregularly, |
have directed the superintendent to
see that furnaces and manufacturers
are supplied with coal to cover the
possible suspension, How many days
we will actually shut down depends
on conditions, among them being the
weather and the inability to ship coal
west of Buffalo in box cars, because
the movement of grain east requires
all our box cars. The coal business
is in good shape"

New York, Oct. &O.-When Mr..
Dowie opened his night meeting in
Madison Square Garden, he faced an
immense throng: when he closed it
his audience had dwindled to only a
few hundred persons besides the
host" he brought with him from

He had announced that he would
tell how ii was revealed to him that

have something to say to the news
papers and their reporters.
His talk, however, was devoted
chiefly to denunciation of tobacco
smokers, liquor drinkers and newspa-
per men, all of them he classed as
dirty dogs" and dirty birds"
Several times the audience Kissed
stration he shouted:

books"

spending money for the Lord" he con-
tinued. They say 1 came to New
York for money. l do not deny the
soft impeachment" He said the story
that his wife lost a S1,5O0 diamond
pin was untrue, as she never owned
pin like that, nor had she lost any
thing. The tales printed about his
people being hungry were all lies he
said. He had "lic&cd" the press of
Chicago, he shouted, and he would

Mr.. Pierson is "A typical southerner,
with all of the characteristics of the

have sent him "up north" looking
for more worlds to conquer. When
asked for his impressions of the Grand
Valley, he made the unqualified state

with the climatic conditions but was
very favorably impressed with the
valley as fruit section. In that re-
spect he thought the valley would
compare favorably. it not excel any
part of the country he had visited

the fact that the people of the Grand
valley were not making use of their
opportunities in the eay of making
use of the millions of gallons of water
that are going to waste every day in
place of being used in irrigating the
unoccupied land and making it pro

When asked the question if land
was not too valuable IN the valley for
colonization purposes, he emphatical-

Inmates made by his company. Land
was WORTH in his opinion. just ten

income has averaged at a low esti-

New York. Aug. l8.-The Reli-

today in the Erie basin by @. +.
Mower. the official measurer of the
New York Yacht club. AS the result
of his measurements and calculations
it was announced tonight at the yacht
club that the Reliance would allow
the challenger 1 minute and 40 sec
onds over thirty mile course. It was
found that the Shamrock was slightly
longer on the water line than the
American boat, but the latter proved
to have nearly 1900 more square feet
of sail area than the challenger. and
it was this enormous sail spread that
taxed the American boat so heavily.
