 It is asserted that notwithstand1ns notice was given the miners in the Blue Creek region to vacate their houses on the 1st of August, there will De no concerted move in that direction. ~ is claimed that longer notice IS re- quired, rent having been paid up to Monday morning.

The production of coal In Aiapama' despite the strike of the union miners, is large. The mines with temporary contracts are turning out large quan- tity of coal, while non-union mines anu convict mines are producing no small amount. There is demand for every ion of coal being mined in the State. The aggregate production TOT the month of July shows some falling off as compared to the output for the month of June, but 1t Is not as great as was feared it would be before the suspension of work began on the part of the union miners.
 The non- union mines have been mak- ing effort to increase their production and with but few exceptions have been doing we'll Much of the coal being mined in this district Is shipped to other parts of tho State and to ad- joining States. The commercial coal mines are not furnishing much coal to the furnace companies. Those of the furnace companies which have no mines in operation either with convict or non union labor are getting coal from West Virginia. with the exception of the Re- public Company. whose needs are sup piled from the Sayre mines.

HAD A PROPHETIC VISION.
Russian Writer Foreto1d Disasters That Recently Befell His Coun-
 try's Navy at Port Arthur.

One of the most remarkable instances of political prophecy that have come to light in recent years is reported by Dr. E. J. Dillon. A Russian named Lev itoff published recently at Port Arthur a pamphlet urging that the. Russians do everything possible to gain time and that they withdraw the fleet as an in- cumberance and depend upon their nu- merical superiority on land. With great clearness he pointed out the perils of meeting Japan on the sea.
 "The Yellow Bosporus" (the Straits of Corea) 'is trap into which the Japs, at England's instigation are try ing to entice HIS. So long as we steer clear of sea fight" he continues, "the command of the sea and the Anglo Japanese alliance are not worth a sucked egg: If we resolve to keep out of an engagement on water and if we are further prepared tp do without our fleet. not only by refusing to increase 1t but by getting rid of it wholly and without reserve. then the Japanese doc- Urine, Asia for Asiatics, becomes mean ingless ard we have free field on which to GSntinue our work of culture An that part Of the glohe.'' ia -

Jacques
PICCoLo's MIDGETs.

Probably the tiniest mites of hu- manity who have the intelligence to present an attractive vaudeville turn are Piccolo's Midgets. the quartet of Liliputians who are opening weeks engag cement at the Jacques to-day.
 The little fellows, who are none of them much over two feet in height, are perfectly formed and properly de- veloped, and they have an act, con sisting of athletic and acrobatic feats, that calls for the exercise of facul- ties and physlques that are cultivated to a high degree. After an introduc- ton of song and dance they resort to athletics and acrobatics, introducing heavy weight lifting and wrestling and following this up with acrobatics
 One of the little fellows is jolly lit tie comedian, too, and raises many e laugh with his amusing antics. They ought to prove very popular as a headliner this week. More anus ing, perhaps, Is the other big special feature offered by Bedini and Arthur, the worlds greatest comedy jugglers, Iwho demolish crockery in way to gladden. the heart of an industrious potter. With these two big acts are some others that rank very high in
 vaudeville. Contributors are the VII. iage Choir of the Way. Down East company, James Richmond Glenroy. Johnny and Bertha Gleason and Fred

NOT SUCH BAD REASONING
orist Was Only Putting Up [ Gentle Bluf.

Henry w Oliver, the Pittsburg cap talist, who died recently, took pro found interest in the children of the poor. Hence his gift to ,Pittsburg of 8 magnificent public bath, and hence his frequent and friendly conversations with newsboys, bootblacks and messen- ger boys. says the New York Tribune.
 It is said of MT. Oliver that one day, after buying paper from very little chap. he thought he would test the lad s intelligence by putting few questions to him. Accordingly, he pointed to a pile of paving stones and said:
 How were these stones made, son?"
 They wasn't made; they growsd," replied the boy.
 'Growed?' How do you mean 'growed?' ? said MT. Oliver.
 They growed the same as potatoes grow" the boy explained.
 MT. Oliver shook his head. 'No, my lad, you are wrong" he said. Stones can't grow. If you were to come back to these stones five years, or ten years, or 20 years from now they would slu be the same size" 4
 ''Of course" said the little newsboy, sneering. They've been taken out O the ground now and have stopped grow Sn'. same as potatoes would"

SUBMARINE WRECK
Destroyer Al, Sent to Bottom,
 Found by Divers.
"HOLE IN HER SIDE, FULL OF VATER"
Attempt Made to Signal the Crew by Knocking on the Vessels Steel Shell, but There Was No Re-
 sponao--AIl Thought Dead.

Knocking 0n the Vessels Steel
 Shell, but There Was No Re-
 aponse--AIl Thought Dead.
 LONDON, March 21.-The wrecked submarine destroyer Al, struck while under water by the liner Berwick Gas tie and destroyed, with the loss of all hands, has been discovered, but not raised from the bottom of the sea. She is lying in fifteen fathoms of water off the Nab lightship, Portsmouth.
 A telegram just received from Ports mouth says:
 '"The grim forebodings are fulfilled, and it Is esta ablished beyond all doubt that the eleven men in the submarine are dead. The wrecked submarine has a hole in her side and Is full of water. Divers say they found her lying on the port side, right in the fair way where vessels pass.
 '"The vessel cannot be raised as yet. and salvage operations are perforce postponed" ~s-
 The divers were not able to get in side the boat, but in order to make sure whether by miracle any living person was cooped up inside it they worked all around its hull, tapping the steel shell in various places. To these calls, however. there came no answering signal. The cap of the submarines coming tower will have to be wrenched off, as 1t was securely screwed down by the crew before the vessel dived. The | work of removing the bodies from the wreck is expected to be an unusually difficult and unpleasant one, but it will E be the first thing done after the boat has been got to a place of safety.
 The king has telegraphed to Sir John Fisher message expressing his deep 2 sympathy. and similar messages have ] been received from the Prince of 1 Wales and the Duke of Connaught.
 No hope was felt that any of the un- fortunate officers and crew could have lived, but it is pointed out that men can live for three days in a submarine, l provided the boat remains intact and l that she is not overturned so that her gasoline tank overfows.
 From what can be gathered at off, cial sources the lost boat was struck by the liner when it passed her as she lay below the surface waiting for a battleship.
 i It is surmised that the liner struck the submarines coming tower and heeled the boat over. The disaster has thrown all the men l engaged on submarines into state of ccnsternation and has seriously dis counted the value of submarine ships.

HIS CURIOSITY uNAPPEASED He Had Given His Word and Couldn't Ask Just That One More Con-
 suning Question.

He was long, lank couItryman. He entered the car, and took his seat next to a well-dressed man of middle age, who sat evidently absorbed in his morning paper. Immediately he had seated him. self he began rapid fire of questions directed at the gentleman with the news paper.
 He asked him how many miles an hour he thought the train could go at its full speed; and If he didn't like the looks of the country they were passing through: and what he thought of the chances for crops down his way; and if he didn't think the trusts were bleeding the coun- try; and wasn't. he of the opinion that politics had gone to the dogs. anyway, and the whole land going to ruin: and didn't he think that Grover Cleveland was the greatest man that ever lived; and what was his opinion in regard to the Spanish war. At last the man with the newspaper grew impatient, relates Woman's Home Companion.
 My friend" he said, I've answered a number of your questions, and now if you have no objections, I'd like to have a chance to read my paper"
 Sure" his interrogator replied. ''I won't bother you any more: but, stranger. there's just one more question I'd like to ask. Just answer me this one, and I'll shut right up. see you've got just one leg. How'd the other come to be off"
 If answer this, you'll promise not to ask another question:
 Sure" replied the countryman, with an emphatic nod of the head.
 Well. then. I'll tell you. It was bit off"
 The recipient of this piece of informa- tion stared hard at the gentleman with the newspaper. but he made no comment. Finally the situation became unendur- able; he shifted restlessly in his seat, and his breath came hard. Atlength he rose, and started down the aisle.
 "I've given my word for it." he said, "and I'm not the man as goes back on his promise: but I'll be goldarned If wouldn't give peck of the best potatoes on my place to know what 1t was this side of perdition that could have bit that mans leg off"
