Wilkesbarre. Pa. July 29.-The con
troversy between some coal companies
and their miners in the upper anthra-
cite coal field over the question of the
payment of the check weighing and
check docking bosses is attracting
much attention and causing consider
able uneasiness in the Wyoming and
Lackawanna valleys. The situation
has reached such stage that repre-
sentatlves OF the operators have deem.
ed II proper to make an official public
statement OF their side of the case.
This was don today by S. D. werri-
ner OF the Lehigh Valley Coal com
pany and member Of the mine con
cillation board who says no complaint
has been received by the Cancellation
board from either miners or operators
of Coke Brothers company with ref.
erence to check weighmen. but that a
complaint has been received from the
Pennsylvania Coal company. This
matter was referred TO an umpire and
the latter did not sustain the conten-
tion of the miners.
The statement says the operators
are in favor of check weighmen, but
do not believe it was contemplated by
the anthracite coal strike commission
that the operators should discharge
such OF their employees as do not de
sire TO join with the majority Of their
fellows In request for appointment OF
check weighmen.

never got chance to use it until
today" said he.
Some little boy or girl wants to
know what good it will do to learn
the "rule of three" or to commit
a verse in the Bible. The answer is
this: "Some time you will need that
very thing. Perhaps it may be twen-
ty years before you can make ii fit
in just the right place, but it will
be just in place some time. Then
if you don't have it you will be like

JULIUS CAESAR GOT GAY.
Chambers Up Stairs to the Second
Floor of q Boarding House.

Julius Caesar, the big clumsy, iron
gray horse which pulls the New York
Tunnel company's dirt carts along the
temporary railroad in Battery Park be-
came excited late yesterday afternoon
and, after jumping fences, benches, tool
boxes, and dirt heaps in the park ran
across State street and upstairs at as
Whitehall street into a room full of wo-
men and men boarders of Mrs Maho-
ney. Inc horse was aStOniShed as
much as were the boarders, and let
himself be captured and led back to his
cart-dra gging duty.
The horse had been taken out of the
temporary stable, where he had been
munch1ng oats, and Edward High, the
colored driver of the animal stuck a
stake into the ground and tethered the
hourse to it while he went after the
harness. The rope was very short, and
after the animal had eaten all the grass
near by he tried to move, pulled out the
stake with jerk, and it hit him on the
nose.
bo1ted. The stake bumped against the
animals legs as he hurdIed a tool
chest itlike a. steeplechaser, and then
jumped over the Battery Park chain
fence He took the other chain across
the path with a fine bound, and then
hurdled a bench in good style. By that
time crowd was after him. At last he
ran out of the park and across State
elry store and a clothing store at As
Whitehall street was open, the animal
went through it He met flight of
16 steps, but was not daunted and
went up them with as much ease as he
had taken the hurdles. He turned two
more to the left, meeting a flight of
seven more, which he also assembled.
The noisy clatter of the horse get
ting upstairs startled the women and
men who had gathered in Mrs. Mahon-
ey's front room. They were on their
feet when the animal appeared in the
hall, and, seeing the door open, Caesar
walked in. He stopped and nodded his
head, as if in greeting. The women
shrieked, and one man remarked: tits
a horse on U.S."
The man grabbed the iron gray by
the halter and patted him. Caesar did
not object, and the man backed him
out into the hall again.
What does he come to a place he's
not wanted in for at alI?" demanded
the indignant Mrs. Mahoney as she ex-
amined her battered stairways.
The horse walked down the seven
steps without trouble, then the two.
if he were used to running up and
down flights daily. He shook himself
when in the air again and neighed as
he looked back into the hail. BY that
time High, the colored driver, had run
up among 700 other persons who want
ed to see the horse upstairs. They gave
a cheer and some laughs for the horse
as High led him away.

High. He'd go to de roof fo' mo-
oats, he would."-New York Times.
