Family Pet Foils Lovers in Attempt at
Secret Wedding.
When Maud Barry, 16 years old, Of
Waterbury. Conn, attempted to elope
with Ernest Hildreth, aged II. she
tucked her pet cat, one OF a pair, be-
tween her dress and the folds of big
blanket shawl.
The cat walled loudly as the couple
drove under a shed in the town Of
Thomastown. We'll be safe here
from prying people for few days at
least" said Maude as she jumped from
the buggy, after ride of nearly nine
miles from Bucks Hill. "Oh, yes, you
will" said Ernest, Disguised, as he
spied the sister cat in the wake of his
team and the father and brother of the
6irl following close behind in. the fam
lily carriage. The stern parents had
utilized the instinct of the cat for a
pacemaker.
"Oh. father. forgive met" cried
Maude, as the cats set up a compan-
ionable meow, and Ernest stood at a
safe distance until the kissing and
weeping were over. But the young
people are to be married some time.
"Een" Barry, the father, says so, and
he ought to know.

TIE STRIKE ENDED.

| The great packing-house strike that was declared off last week had been in progress fifty-six working days, in volving 26,624 men in Chicago, and 5000 in outside cities. The wives and children of these people number more than 250,000.
 | The total cost to the strikers in round figures, has been S4, l50, ,0O0. The total loss to the packers has been about SS, GOO, ,000, the loss to the rail- roads, Sl, 1000, 900 and to stock raisers S2, 800, 900.
 There have been in Chicago six mur- ders directly traceable to the strike and 2l3 persons injured and sent to hospitals. The loss to the public in increased prices of meat is estimated at 5000, ,000. The strike was called because of strife over small differ ence in the wages of common laborers in the yards.
 Both capital and labor sustained heavy losses, and labor, which took the aggressive, can get little comfort from the retrospect. It made fatal error in its attitude toward arbitra- tion and in it's violation of an agree ment, and it's leaders are rightly ac- cused of critical and iuexcusable blunders. President Donnelly identi- fled himself with vicious policies and issued numerous foolish statements and orders which should never have been written. The most creditable work that may be ascribed to him is his dealing with the decision of the allied trades at the eleventh hour. He clearly realized the predicament that his organization was in, and acted finally with great vigor and prompt ness in his endeavor to repair the harm that had been done
The Coconino sun., 1904-09-17

Wealth is not evenly divided among all the people, and never will be. Some work steadily, are saving and accumulate wealth. others are lazy, and never save anything, In 1860
 here was Sjl4 00 for every man, wo- man and child in this country. This year, 1904, there is Sl, 236. 0l for every man, woman and child in this coun- try There are about eighty millions of people in this country. Some are very wealthy. Some are very poor. But in no country in the world is wealth more evenly divided than in this country, and in no other country in the world has poor man, able and willing to work, so good an oppor- tunity to earn good wages and to be- come wealthy by economy and good business management Wealth is not confined to any party There are as many wealthy democrats as there are republicans. The frugal and indus trious, and good business manager, is almost certain to accumulate a com fortable fortune in any part of the United States.
The Coconino sun., 1904-09-17

It is quite remarkable how the Democrats are scaling down all the supposed-to-b issues between them and the Republicans. Thus far the campaign has been conducted on nega- tive lines with the single exception of the general assault upon President Roosevelt, and that has narrowed it's elf down to his policy in the conduct of affairs. Senator Bailey recently said in Brooklyn, N. Y. "The dullest man knows perfectly well that free trade is an absolute impossibility in this republic" Judge Parker agrees with the Republicans on the question of Philippine self-government when they are competent for it." Nobody thinks of re-opening the Panama ques- tion. The labor question will have to work out it's own solution. And the democrats have nothing better to pro- pose regarding the trusts than the re- publicans. The only question re- maining isis Roosevelt good man?
The Coconino sun., 1904-09-17

Henry Watterson thinks that if he were a republican now he would vote for Parker. Which must mean, of course, if it means anything, that be- Ing a democrat now he will vote for Roosevelt. He says that in any speech he may make he will not dis cuss issues to any great extent. Which is very wise of Mir. Watterson, since the democrats have managed to do away with nearly all political is- sues, and are concentrating their word batteries upon the character and achievements of President Roosevelt.

ASKS TOO MUCH.

The New York "Times" accuses the Democrats of being unable to discuss the tariff with robust conviction. !" When did the Democratic party ever entertain on any vital and large topic robust conviction? What robust conviction has it ever shown, except that it was desirable to undo whatever the Republican party had done and that it was imperatively necessary to get the republicans out and the demo- -crats in?
The Coconino sun., 1904-09-17

An effort will be made during the coming session of Congress for the es- tablishment of a department of min ing and metallurgy. By reason of it's great influence upon all other resour- ces and industries and the advance ment of the country, many men of in fuence think mining should receive equal consideration with agriculture and other pursuits Certain it is that if it is worth while to keep weather bureau running, the Government might recognize an important industry like mining.
