FAVORABLE TO MINER
REPORT OF COAL COMMISSION IS

Question Of Recognition Of Union 10
Dodged, but In the Main the
Workingmen Are Satisfied.

The report of the commission ap-
pointed by the president last October
| to investigate the anthracite coal
strike has at last been made public.
The report is dated March IS, and
Is signed by all the members Of the
commission, who are Judge George
Gray Of Delaware; Labor Commits
sioner Carroll d. Wright and Briga.

Washington. d. c.; Bishop John L.

The commissions summary Of the
awards made gives the miners an In.
crease In wages. That an increase Of
10 per cent over and above the rates
paid in the month Of AprIi, 1902, Is
to be paid to all contract miners for

for which standard rates or allow.
ances existed at that time, from and
after November 1. 1902, and during

A further provision Is made that all
moneys due shall be paid directly to
each laborer by the company.
The report refers to the hazardous
nature of anthracite coal mining, and
gives an estimate Of the losses occa-
stoned by the strike. These losses
they estimate as follows:
AS to mine-owners, SAC, 100, 900; to
the mine employees in wages, $25,000,-
900; to the transportation companies,
SIS, 100000
s. M. Sexton, editor Of the United
Mine-Workers' Journal, commented on
the strike commissions report as fol.
lows:
There are parts Of tn decision that
will probably not suit the miners. The
10 per cent can be taken, I suppose,
as being In favor of the miners,
though percentages are great delu.
sions.
"One Of the greatest points in favor
OF the miner is the recommendation
for the withdrawal of the coal and
iron police who are responsible for
most Of the trouble that occurs in the
mining regions. The lessening Of the
working hours for engineers, firemen
and other workers Is great point in
favor Of the miners.
"The provision for the creation Of a
Cancellation board to settle points Of
disagreement will generally meet with
the miners hearty approval"

FORTUNE IN THE MisTLEToE.
Georgian Has Made Money In Provid-
Ing Wreatils OF Holly.

Ing Wreaths OF Holly.
In Georgia there Is farm devoted
to mistletoe and holly growing. 1t is
owned by the CARTRIDGE family, con-
sisting Of mother and two daughters,
but the daughters do the farming. It
all began through the failure Of the ell
der sister to make an immediate tri-
umph in art, to study which she went
to New York. She realized in the
great city, as she never could have in
her rural Southern home, that talent
for art is too general to leave much
hope for special distinction, and wisely
concluded to turn to something that
would bring more speedy results. Be-
Ing an observant young woman, Miss
CARTRIDGE noticed that holly and mis-
tletoe brought extremely high prices
and bethought her that on the 500
acres at home In Georgia both grew
in wild abundance. She returned home
and she and her sister began to pre-
pare for making the neglected luxuri-
ance Of marketable value. In the
months of January and February fol-
lowing they set out 10 acres Of young
holly trees with their own hands. The
colored farm hands would not plant a
holly tree for worlds, as they believe
that If they did they would die as soon
as the tree became tall enough to cast
shadow the measure of their graves.
Last Christmas the sisters found the
trees SO grown that they required thin
ming out and the trees that were re-
moved were sent North for Christmas
trees and brought high prices, as they
were symmetrical and covered with
large, rich berries. They plant the
mistletoe berries under the bark Of the
old oak trees in crack or hole,
where they can get hold as they
terminate.

SOME ohE-L,hE AUTHORS.
Writers Whose Fame Rests Upon a
Sinqle Book or Quotation.

It Is one of the many odd expert
ences of life that, while some men IN
pursuit Of fame write library OF
books and die and are forgotten, other
men, under some happy inspiration,
write a single line, poem or volume,
and are forever ranked with the I'M
mortals.
In some cases immortality goes
a-begging from the modest shrinking
of an author to claim his offspring,
as in the case of the oracle who
penned the eloquent word Don't" in
answer to Punch's request for advice
to those about to marry.
Very few read Congreve nowadays,
and fewer still could quote half :
dozen lines from any of his poems
and dramas; and yet. to many who
have never even heard his name there
are few lines more familiar. than the
oft.quoted and misquoted, Music

Charles Wolfe, the Irish divine and
poet, wrote many poems of excellence,
but only one redeems him and all his
works from obscurity, and of this few

Thomas Gray has left one legacy
only from all his writings, but that is
an imperishable one-his "Elegy Writ

Australian Rabbits.

A few year, ago the rabbit was the

class in Australia. Australians are
learning low to turn the rabbit itself
into commercial asset. Twenty mil
lions of Au ,tralian rabbit skins were
sold in London last year, while nearly
100000 rabbits frozen in their furs
were sent to the London market from
Victoria alone. The Australian rabbit
is thus supplying the tables of the

Estate Easily Settled.

An attorney from Houston, Tex
tells this story Of Judge Roy Bean,
justice of the peace in the Lone Star
state, who is known better as "The
Law West of the Pecos River:
He held coroner's inquest on a
Mexican who had been found dead
near the Pecos river. The jury brought
in a verdict of accidental death. The
crowd was dispensing when the judge
called them back.
There is another matter to attend
to- he said. "On this mans body was
found $50 and a six-shooter. 1t is
contrary to the laws of Texas and to-
the peace and dignity of the state to
carry concealed weapons. Therefore

deceased 81. The costs in the case
are $40, which just settles his estate. ;"

THE MAFIA..

The American people today are
facing a very serious proposition.
in the shape OF a secret order
known as the Malta. This order
is one of the uncanniest and red
handed organizations in existence
today. 1t was originally a cit
liens union to protect the people
of Sicily from brigands and high
waymen, but has become a muir
derous band of cut-throats, kill
ing all who come in it's way. The
threat of the Malta in some of the
eastern states today is enough to
make the strongest-quail
The essential idea of the Malta
is opposition to governmental
authority. The Malta itself has
no recognized head; no one to
give orders or pass Judgment,
and the large majority for entire
secrecy they rely upon each
members hatred for established
law and fear of vengeance.
The Italians nowpervadenearly
every section of the country.
They are the most dangerous ele-
ment that bequeaths to our pc :
terity. They contribute very
little to the nations bone and
sinew. They prefer to remain in
ignorance and oppose the consti-
tuition.
America is such vast country
that foreign organization of this
kind does not seem of overflow
ing Importance; but when that
society is being constantly rein
forced by immigration, and in a
large number of cases shielded
by our own political leaders,
might not it's existence be made
a subject of governmental atten-
ton.
