ture. and
Whereas, through the corruption
practiced by the corporations. and in

Whereas, the striking miners Of
Colorado, have suffered every indig'
nifty and injustice that malice coult
suggest, or military power perform
| Imprisonment without trial, citizens
deported from their homes, homes in.
vaded by the militia, and blown up b.
corporations, men shot down on thu

Whereas, such conduct places thu
privileges of corporations above thu

i Resolved, by this local assembled
that we condemn the governor and leg
i islature Of the state of Colorado TO
their failure to enact an eight hou
law in accordance with the constitu

FAKE MULE FOOLED STRIKERS.
Boss Mule Was Sick, and the Others
 Wouldn't Work Without Him.

Pittston.-The mineworkers are telling of the clever way in which the strike of four mules at the Diamond shaft of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company was broken by Jack McAnaney, the mule boss, on Friday It is not often that mules strike, but when they do there Is trouble.
 Old Boxer the lead mule of the four which draw the cars into the West Park slope, took sick and could not work, so McAnaney promoted another mule to the lead and put in a gree one. The lead mule would not start, however. All kinds him. and the others were just as stub born. The miners were waiting for the cars, and the whole working of the slope was stalled by the mules. who would not budge, because Old Boxer. who had led them for years was missing
 McAnaney was sent for. and after study ing the situation, he ordered all lights out Then he took out the green mule and backed the three others into their old places. He put couple of driver boys in Old Boxers place. covered them with a big leather apron, and using the whip freely on the fake mule cried out, Get up, Boxer. you old cuss! Gee up, therel" The first mule was fooled, and he tugg- ed. and the others followed. This oper- ation was repeated each time the mules cannes out to the head of the slope, be- cause they baked again when there was no intimation of Old Boxer in front, and the cars were drawn in that way all day long. Yesterday Boxer was better and took his old place at the head of the team.

New York Coasters.

From the New York Tribune.
 Some streets in this city are every winter made and kept practically inn passable by vehicles through the prac- tice of coasting, which wears to a glassy surface ice and snow that would otherwise be so uneven and rough as to afford some foothold. Yesterday coasting parties were to be seen equip ped with brooms, from which they were sweeping from the roadway the ashes, sand and sawdust which humane people had sprinked there to prevent horses from slipping. They were doing the same on sidewalks, so that they might use them also as toboggan slides. Nor is it by any means an un- heard-of or even an uncommon thing for them to carry pails of water out of the houses and pour it upon the street in freezing weather in order to renew the ice which had been worn away to the pavement
 Such conduct is simply criminal, and should be so treated. It is all very well to say that children should be per mitted to have their fun; but that re- mark is not made by people who have to imperil limb and life on sidewalks which the children have made icy with their sleds, nor by those who have had horses fall and suffer injury on streets made slippery by coasting parties. The free use of the highways is a sound principle; but it must not be construed to mean that some people are free to use them in way that will make theIs unsafe for everybody else to use.

 There are fifteen cases of diphtheria in the house.
 q found that more than 100 people lived in the cellars and that, as the maid had said, fifteen children had the diph- theria."
 Some thousands actually live under the Winter palace. Not only that, but re- gently a dairy with several cows was found in full operation in the imperial cellar. The cows had to go, but the peo- pie were not disturbed. That would have been out of keeping with Russian care lessness and noblesse oblige.

No one would tell her at first but finally the butler admitted the odors came from those who lived in the cellars. Lived in the cellars! How could that be?

FAIR TRIAL BILL.
Montana's New Law Is Being
Worked on Full Time.

Helena, Mont, Feb. 5.-The fair trials
bin recently enacted by a special session
of the Montana legislature has been in
voked in several suits of minor i'm
portance since its passage, but has not
been passed upon by the supreme court
Counsel for the Amalgamated Copper
company's interests have secured a
change of venue from Judge Clancy
and Judge Harney's courts in Butte for
about ten actions. In only one instance
has the lower court refused to grant a
change of venue, after affidavits alleg-
ing prejudice had been filed. That was
in the contempt case now on trial before
Judge Clancy, in which it is alleged
that the Boston & Montana operated
ground in the Leonard mine covered by
an Injunction In this case Judge
Clancy declared that the fair trial bill
did not apply. No appeal has been
taken from that decision. The affidavits
filed in Butte in the case of MacGinnis
against the Boston & Montana and two
other cases and decided by the supreme
court in favor of the Boston & Montana
company alleged prejudice on the part
of Clancy. The usual course has
been followed to secure a, change under
the fair trials bill About 20 other liti-
giants other than the copper mining in
terests have sought relief in the various
courts under fair trial bill.
