banner wage-earnIng men. native

franchise by which means alone au
individual can represent himself. or
consent 10 his government, and by
this act The party was held IN power
for nearly sixty years. At the be-
ginning of the roth century this was
an advanced position for even So
great a leader to occupy. In the
beginning of the 2oth il would show

Pike. Nearly fifty big amusement
concession will turn cut all their at

Of extraordinary brilliancy. Practi-

swell dress of the American and
European 10 the simple gee string
Of the head hunting Igorote saw

Beautiful girls from many climes

Several bushels Of seed!ess apples
from Colorado are on exhibition at
the Worlds Fair. This improved
seedless apple. like the seedIess
orange, is the result of the scientific
work Of horticulturists The apple
tree is blossomless and the fruit is
free from worms and hardy enough
to endure the seyerest frost. The
blossomless feature Of the new tree
IS one of the most striking peculiar
tiles and will make il favorite
with fruit growers, especially in
cold climates Already seedless
apple nurseries have been started
ia several States and seedless apple
buds are in great demand. John +.

Dlscourteous Audiences.

"People in the two Birmingham thea
tres continue to rush out pell nell be-
fore the curtain has descended on the last
act" said a theatre-goer last night.
s'When the hero triumphs over the vii
Ian and everybody begins to kiss and
make up 1t seems to be signal for the
audience to leave, no matter how long
1t may be until the curtain falls. believe
the audiences at the Bijou are worse than
those at the Jefferson in this respect but
both are bad enough.
ut Is not only annoying to people who
desire to see the end of a play to have
Others hurry out in this unceremonious
fashion, but it is also discourtesy to the
players, whose voices are inaudable as
result of the noise and confusion. There
is no special reason why people should
there is a fire or panic, and some regu-
lation should be devised whereby
thoughtless persons could be kept in
their seats until it is time to leave.
Another nuisance who should be abated
is the man who climbs over fifteen per-
sons at the end of every act in order to
go out and see a man. It matters not
to him how much trouble he causes other
people, he must make himself conspicu-
Gus by tramping out with much unneces-
sary noise when the curtain falls and
then tramping back again when 1t goes
up. While not quite so bad as the end

tern and PENNSYLVANIA Miners.

settlement of the contention on
the part of the soft coal miners of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa, Maryland, West Virginia, Ken
lucky and Michigan, is an important
event The negotiations on the part
of the miners were conducted by Pres
ident John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers Of America, and scale was
adopted providing for reduction of
5.55 per cent in wages, and two-year
contract. A contract that holds for
two years is new feature in the soft
coal fields, and it will have an influence
in the adjustment of scales in other
districts.
The, new scale and plan were sub
mitted to the miners and out of 170,-
600 votes 100000, in round numbers,
we're cast in favor of the acceptance
of the Mitchell programme. The con-
servatism and good sense of the miners
were fully equal to the conservatism
and good sense of President Mitchell,
and that is saying a good deal An
Irritating and damaging strike has
been avoided, and from every part of
the bituminous coal fields come con-
gratulations over the result. The
miners are to receive good wages in
the next two years, and the general
public is to have full supplies of fuel,
and peace, and all the prosperity they
can command under such favorable
circumstances.
It should be remembered that Presi-
dent Mitchell and his advisers stood
out against the convention of the
miners, and now that they have been
sustained by the miners, they may well
claim the chief credit of the notable
and happy settlement.

More About Race Suicide.

"a Tennessee negro. having been pre-
scented with triplets, has offered to give
them to the United States government
said gentleman from Nashville. The
man had heard of President Roosevelts
ideas on race suicide and was under the
impression that the government was Of
fering a premium for large additions to
the family He was very much surprised
to learn that his triplets commanded
no reward more substantial than the ad-
miration of his fellow citizens.
1.-The race suicide doctrines of MT
Roosevelt have caused much amusement
in the country especially among those
people who can appreciate the ludicrous
side of the question. A great many twins
get their names in the papers just be-
cause the President Is thought to endorse
large families, while such an Important
matter as the arrival of triplets, whether
they be white or black, is seldom over
looked.
while the teachings of Mr.. Roosevelt
do not seem to have greatly increased the
number of twins and triplets born in the
land they have had some influence on the
public at least so far as creating more In
terest In new arrivals in the land 1t
would be dull pickings for the paragraph
ers and 1okesmiths IL Mr.. Roosevelt were
not a strenuous man and had never made
any remarks on race suicide"
