ASKED TO MINE MORE COAL.
President Mitchell Sends Request to
Members of Union.

~
Members Of Union.
President Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers Of America last night issued the
following circular letter to all local unions
In the anthracite district:
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January II, 1903.
To the officers and Members OF Local
Unions Of the u. NJ. w. OF A., in the
Anthracite Region.
Gentlemen: You are no doubt aware that
serious coal famine exists in all the east
ern and seaboard cities. due to the shortage
Of the anthracite coal supply. The situa-
ton has reached an acute stage, and has
resulted in great suffering and hardship to
the poor of the cities. whose earnings are
insufficient to enable them to pay the e4-
cessive prices now being charged for fuel.
and it is Subject1ng the general PUBIC 10
great inconvenience.
To relieve the situation and alleviate as
far as possible the suffering now being en-
dured is the duty of. every one connected
with the production Of coal. With this end
in view we are prompted to address this
communication to all members OF our union
and request that they cooperate with the
management Of the mines In an effort to in
crease the production of coal. The gravity
Of the situation Is such to require that
every mine worker shall exert himself and
use every means at his command to this
end.
Upon reading this communication in the
columns of the daily papers, local unions
should hold meetings and devise means
whereby the daily output of the mines may
be increased. These efforts should be con-
tinued until the weather moderates and the
great necessity for fuel shall have passed.

game OF the sweepstakes pool tournament.
Ten cracks In all are entered for the
lengthy test Of cue skill. each having nut

for. Two games are played nightly. Stofrt
took prominent lead early over kirkland.
After scratching on the opening shot he
cleaned up the frame. and Kirkland. who
was nervous did not drop a single ivory
into the receptacle until near the close OF
the second frame.
Fortune was not kind to Kirkland. A
long chain for position tailed the object
ball neatly. but brought the cue ball back
into corner pocket. Still he began to
show his speed in the succeeding frames.

He would have gained more but for care

ecution was better than his position play.
At the end Of the fifth frame the score was:

Jolly Fat Men Take Three
Games From Takoma Park.
OTHER GOOD CONTESTS
JOE KIRKLAND EASILY DEFEAT
ED BY sToFFT IN POOL TOURNEY.
Wintery Blasts at New Orleans Races
Sharkey to Train for Munroe-
Golfng Green Fee.

Though the Takoma Park players show
ed some Improvement in their form last
night they were still no match for the
Jolly Fat Mems team, which went out
from the city for match on the alleys OF
the suburbanites. All of the victories went
to the city club. and their lead in the Dis
trict league is improved very perceptibly
as result. The visitors played very
creditable set of games, though they were
constrained to hustling gait by the Icy
atmosphere OF the alleys. which were far
from a comfortable temperature.
Improving In each game played. the Fats
finally mounted to near 900 in their final
game, Rodrick's score in this contest run
ming to 221 and including a series Of five
strikes. which he started at the fifth frame.
His average for the night was exceedingly
good, and he is fully maintaining his repu-
tation as an expert. Jarvis and Gosorn
played in expert form, and had they been
better supported the side would surely have
captured the opening game. In this game
the Takomas ran wonderful series OF
strikes, and should have reached a high
total, but their spare work was miserable.
Poor work by King held them down in
the second game, with a resulting small
score, and in the final the whole team went
astray, the visitors being more than 200
pins ahead at the close. The scores follow:

COUNT DE LONYAY MISSING.
Has Deserted His Wife, the Crown
Princess Stephanie. .

A dispatch from Vienna yesterday says,
Serious differences, according to Die Zeit.
have arisen between the Count and Countess
de Lonyay, formerly the Crown Princess
Stephanie. during their stay in the south
Of France. The count Is reported to have
suddenly left his wife and to have since
given no intimation Of his whereabouts.
The nature Of the alleged differences has
not developed.
The Crown Princess Stephanie Of Austria
Hungary, widow Of the Archduke Rudolph.
and q daughter Of King Leopold Of Bel
GUM. was married March %. 1900, to Count
de Lonyay, a popular diplomat OF high
standing in court circles. The marriage OF
the princess to Count de Lonyay was Bit
terly opposed by King Leopold.
The story printed In Die Zeit Is repeated
in other Vienese papers. They report that
the count left his wife at Mentone January
Z. and his present whereabouts are not
known. Friends of the count assert that
tn addition to difficulties in his financial
affairs, the count has found his position
in society as the husband Of the former
Crown Princess of Austria Hungary to be
exceedingly uncomfortable and unpleasant.
That the count will seek to obtain a divorce
is regarded as by no means improbable.

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Many Scratches Made On Account of
Frozen Track.

1t was winter racing In real earnest at
New Orleans yesterday. The spell of wet
weather was followed by a drop in the
mercury and Icy blasts. The cold froze the
track up, but left it full Of holes. Trainers
considered it dangerous to run over, and
the best horses were withdrawn.
Two favorites won-Witful and Pyrrho.
The former, with Redfern in the saddle,
beat Potente and Honolulu out at the end
for the third race and secured the decision
by three lengths. Pyrrho, backed from 8
to down to to 5. won the last event
easily. He led from the first furlong to the
finish. The other winners were; Shot Gun,

latter was the surprise Of the day. and was
hailed with delight by the bookmakers.

The average racegoer does not stop to in

saddle in a year, but II he did he would be
surprised on learning how many riders
there are.
A list has been made up Of every jockey
that had a mount in a race from January 1

Jockeys had mounts. This, OF course. In
cludes apprentices and gentleman riders as

The Kansas Senatorship.

A dispatch from Topeka, Kans., yester-
day says: The Kansas legislature will con-
vene tomorrow noon.
The senatorial fight will be the feature Of
the session. and little else will be done un-
til it is disposed of. The Leland faction Ii
divided between Gov. Stanley and Congress-
man Chester 1. Long. while Congressman
Charles Curtis Is the leading candidate Of
the opposing faction. The Leland people
organized the house by the caucus election
of J. T. Pringle as speaker, and this Is re-
garded as showing to a great extent the
sentiment Of the house on the senatorial
question. Speaker Pringle, however, Is q
Curtis man by virtue of Instructions re-
ceived from his constituents and will be
obliged to use his influence for Curtis in the
senatorial caucus.

VISITING GOLFERS FEES.
Outsiders Charged So as to Prevent
Overcrowdiug,

There are a number Of courses all over
the country where golfing members OF other
clubs can play round for fee OF 81. and
many more where member has the privi-
lege of introducing an outsider and playing
a round with him, but only on the payment
Of q green fee Of 81. Then, too, there are
other clubs where members can entertain
their friends without any cost except on
Saturdays and holidays: This green fee Of
81 has been the cause Of some little discus
sion recently, and at some clubs It has
caused no little dissatisfaction. as many
members who pay big dues feel that it is
going too far to have to pay extra for the
privilege Of entertaining friend occasion
ally.
There are two sides to the question, and
from the experience of the more popular
clubs it is indicated that they have the best
OF the argument, simply because Of the
indiscriminate use that certain members al
ways made of the privilege of introducing
friends at will. The popularity of the sport
has been such that on Saturdays and holi-
days many links have been oyercrowded,
even with regular members. and 1t was to
prevent dissatisfaction among them at be-
Ing Inconvenience by the introduction Of
outsiders that the fee was imposed. 1t
costs, moreover a great deal to maintain a
course, and all who enjoy the pleasure Of
a round should be willing to pay his mite
AS to whether the fee Is too large Is another
matter and one which Is open to serious
consideration. Golf has taken the matter
up editoriany in. its current issue and says
as follows:
"At the majority Of the well-known clubs
in the New York Boston. Philadelphia and
Chicago districts the fee exacted Of nom
members for the privilege Of one days play
over the course averages dollar. When
we add caddie charges. luncheon check. tips
for club cleaning and some modest refresh
ment for the golfer himself at the close of
the long and dusty round, the aggregate
reaches respectable figures. 1t is safe to say
that days play at any Of the big clubs
around New York VIII leave the visitor
mighty little change otf Of "a fve-dollar bill.

sides.

Interesting Wrestling Bouts.

John Piening, the Butcher Boy met
Louis Abs of Philadelphia at the Empire
Theater yesterday matinee, and although
he gave the Quaker wrestler severe Cruel
ing, the latter lasted the time limit Of fen
minutes, amid the widest enthusiasm Abs
absolutely refused to go on for the full
time limit Of fifteen minutes. and Manager
Dunn acceded to the demands of the audi
ence to allow him to go against Piening for
ten minutes, with the above result At the
evening performance the Graeco-Roman
champion did his utmost to defeat both
Abs and Joe Grant within a time limit of
fifteen minutes, but failed, although he
forced the argument throughout both con-
tests. Tonight Manager John P. Dunn has
arranged to have him try again, and Joe
Grant has agreed to go on first, as Abs
was the first man to meet Piening last
night, which is only fair to the latter.

A special from Milwaukee says tina. A. L.
Sanborn OF Madison, accompanied by Mana
ager fitzpatrick, was in that city Saturday
for the purpose of consulting with some Of
the Wisconsin University alumni regarding
athletics for the coming year.
Sanborn is a member Of the athletic coun-
ell of the university. He said now it looked
as If the Chicago Wisconsin game next fall
would be played in Milwaukee, where it
would be a bigger drawing card than II
held at Madison. SanboTn said that 1t
looked, too, as II Phil King would be re-
engaged as coach. In spite Of the failure OF
the team last fall. Mr.. Sanborn said that
the feeling was veering in that direction.
He denied the stories that King asked an
increase Of nearly double the salary he was
paid.
Sanborn also said that If possible they
hoped to associate with King some gradu-
ate coach, preferably Curtis, II he would
come and lay the foundation for dropping
the professional coach in the future, pro-
viding it was found feasible.

when they met. Twenty-Five rounds were
fought and JEFF got the decision on points
Hundreds who witnessed the fight are Of
the opinion that jeff was a lucky fellow to
get the decision in his favor.
For staying four rounds with Jeffries,
westerners hail Munroe as a wonder. Well,
the miner may be all the western pugilistio
experts claim for him, but am willing to
wager my pile Munroe will not be very
risky at the end of four rounds when he
fights Sharkey The sailor, since his fight
with Jeff, has been negligent about pre-
pairing for battles, and his carelessness has
cost him several bouts which he should
have won easily. Proflting by his expert

VERDICT FOR MRS. TINaLEY.
Jury at San Diego Gives Her 81, 500
Damages.

Damages.
A dispatch from San Diego, Cal, last
night says: The jury in the Tingiey Times
libel suit tonight found for Mrs Tingley in
the sum Of $500 Mrs. Tingiey is at the
head Of sect whose headquarters are at
Point Iona. The Times made a number
of bitter attacks on the institution and its
head.
Judge E. S. Terrence in his charge to the
jury said that there had been no legal
proof furnished to support the following
allegations:
That numerous outrages were committed
by plaintiff and under her direction at
Point Iona: that people were deprived Of
liberty; children and women starved; wo-
men imprisoned in cells, and that Mrs
ringley was spirituaiistic medium and
an impostor. The court further declared
there was no proof that Mrs. Tingley had
caused parents and children to be separated
an. had kept the children in confinement,
or that there were immoral practices at the
home. The court instructed the Jury to re-
gard all of the above allegations as false.
The court in discussing most of the yari-
GUS allegations commented In this manner:
'"fhe defendant alleges that 1t was true
that the institution conducted by plaintiff
Is fake, and is carried on by plaintiff for
the purpose of defrauding people who are
induced to attend il. l declare to you as
matter of law that there is no legal proof
of the truth of that charge. and, therefore,
you must regard 1t as false
The charges that the men and women at
Point Iona were i'll the habit of making
many pilgrimages insufficiently clothed,
and were in the habit of INDUCING in i'm
moral practices under the direction Of Mrs.
Tingley were submitted to the jury.
The court said that the jury should de-
eide:
First. What injury has been done to
plaintiffs reputation. and what mental dis
tress she has suffered as the natural and
direct consequence, Of the publication of the
libelous matter contained I'm the defendants
newspaper which the court has. declared to
be false.
Second. II the jury should find that the
other portions Of the article did not con-
vey the meaning given them by the plain
tiff, then they would not be libelous ard in
