RECOGNITION UNIONS DEMAND.
Mine Workers May Also Ask An 9 Hour
Day-Wages Satisfactory.

TAMAoUA, Pa, Aug. 21.-The first day s
session Of the annual convention OF Sub
district 1 of the United Mine Workers,
which opened in Lansford this morning
would indicate that the miners will at the
expiration Of the present wage agreement
with the operators on April next, demand
recognition of the union and possibly an
eight hour day.
1t is improbable that an advance over
the present rate of wages will be asked for,
the present sliding scale, based upon the
average price of coal of domestic sizes at
tide water, being apparently satisfactory
to the miners as a whole.
At to days session John McElhenny,
the president Of the subdistrict, presented
a table showing the average rate Of wages
received by miners and colliery employees
under the sliding scale since October, 1902:
This statement will be laid before the annual
convention Of District No. next January
and, with the report from other districts,
will form the basis upon which to compute
the average wages received by the mine
workers of the entire district.
That this average will be high enough to
suit the miners there appears to he no
doubt, although no official statement to
that elect has been made.
The convention passed resolution
deploring the fact that the pumpmen,
firemen and engineers took so little interest
in the union. and gave warning that the
sub-district would not support the demands
of this class of workmen after the expira-
ton Of the present wage agreement.

1t was time for the great procession. First
they lifted the saint from the shrine and
placed him on a platform which was borne
on the shoulders of eight men at the head
of the column. Next came the bands. and
then the crowd fell in line by companies,
some Of them composed Of the littlest of
girls in the whitest of dresses, all carrying
candles and all chanting the praises of
st. Giro. They marched through the
quarter and then returned to the shrine.
where the saint was once more entbroned.
Some one then came up and hung
crutch on the shrine and pinned placard
beside it to tell that the prayers of Tntonino
Duguardi had been answered and that
thanks to Saint Giro he will no longer aneed
the crutch. There was great rejoicing
and the crowd cheered and called for the
band to play its ljveliest.
After the enshrining of the saint, the
crowd broke up and every one, hurried to
the end of the street, where there was a
display of fireworks. After this the Older
folk went indoors. but the young men kept
holiday until early morning, marching in
gay bands through the streets to sing under
the balconies of favored maidens and to
be showered with confetti in return. A few

Led the Posse in 1907.
W1LKEsBARRE. Pa, Aug. 2l.-President
Mitchell addressed a large meeting OF
miners in this city this afternoon. Five
thousand man escorted him from the depot
to the place OF meeting. In the course
of his address Mr.. Mitchell denounced
,Ex-Sheriff James Martin in severe terms.
Martin had charge Of the posse which killed
seventeen striking miners in the riot at Latr
timer inSeptember 1897. Mitchell said: Il
visited Lattimer last Saturday and it brought
back to my mind the sad tragedy that oc-
curredthere eight years ago.
Seventeen men were shot In the back
and killed Only towards shoot men in
the back. The chief actor in that tragedy
is now drawing pay as mine inspector.
He is a candidate for another term 1t
has been arranged so that there is no oppo-
sition to his election. There is not much
honor in holding an Office when man goes
before the people and Is elected by their
votes. l am sorry to say that there are
some men in the union who are giving
support to Martin. They evidently do not
know what they are doing. How any
union miner can support such a man for
office is beyond my comprehension. 1
mean every word ! say. Law abiding
citizens should not associate with the man
who commanded the posse at Lattirirer,
let alone vote for him.
The remainder OF Mitchell's address
was taken up in advising the miners to join
the union and remain loyal to it.

1t was through the efforts of the New
York State Association of Master Bakers
that the ten hour workday law for the
bakeries was declared unconstitutional
by the court of ap. eals. President Abbott
said last night in explanation of the OBJ
position of the boss bakers to this law:
-Ihe law as it stood was great Injustice
to the master bakers We do not object
for all work over ten hours but the ten
hour law with its penal provisions was
Improbable. The time required for rails
ing dough for instance, depends on the
weather. If the temperature suddenly
falls it takes an hour or two longer to rise.
yet if on this account the men were WORKING
over the ten hours we were liable under
the law to arrest and imprisonment.

POSED AS ARTISTS MODEL.
Lady of Noble Birth Compelled to Seek Employment to Earn
 Living.

A romantic episode has created quite a sensation In Berlin's artistic col ony. A year ago young lady called on a portrait painter in a western suburb and offered herself as a model. Her head attracted the artist, who engaged her, and she sat for several pictures. One day she failed to keep her appointment, and the artist had not the faintest inkling of what had become of her.
 As he was sitting down to the table d'hote at well-known hotel at kis- singen last summer, the artist ob- served two well-dressed ladies oppo- site him, and recognized in the young CT, now a beautiful lady of fashion, his long-lost model. The latter intro- duced him to her mother, an Austrian baroness of an old aristocratic family, and explained that, in consequence of financial collapse. she had been com pelled to earn her living.
 She had experienced difficulties in finding a post in an unknown city as a lady's companion, and. knowing she had graceful features, determined to adopt the calling of an artists model. Later on her mother unexpectedly in- herited a fortune, which enabled them to resume their proper position in society.

SEAMEN ON SHORE LEAVE.
Jackies Are No Longer the Roysterrs That They Were in the
 Old Days.

Recently sailors by the hundreds from the North Atlantic squadron were given shore leave in New York, and they behaved themselves so well that the New York papers praised them highly. On this the Cleveland Plain Dealer says:
 With the disappearance of the old navy the registering navy seaman be- gan to disappear also He survives as an occasional isolated case, but to regard him as typical is to slander the navy. In the short period since the outbreak of the Spanish war the con- trast between the new and the old mas become more marked, result due chiefly to the influx of new class of recruits, gathered largely from the west; Americans with hardly an exception, better educated than the recruits Of former years. with better traditions, and, on the whole, perhaps less gwen to creating riot, a rumpus and row than the more fortunate young men whose fracases on college campuses are now being recorded for the de- lectation of the public. Within a few months reports from Kiel, London and Paris have shown that the Amer ican blue jacket behaves himself abroad as we'll as at home. The fiction that he is incapable of rational enjoyment has survived too long,"

CURIOUS LIFE STATISTICS.
What Some Things Amount To In the Course of Three-score Years
 and Ten.

A German mathematician has been doing little figuring to demonstrate what the Biblical span of life of three score years and ten really means, and his results are very interesting, says the New York Herald.
 Seventy years of life mean $40 months, or 25.550 days, equal to SIS, 200 hours, or 36, 792, ,000 minutes or 1, ,207, ,520,- 900 seconds. It shows that man reach ing that age has gone to bed 25,350 times, and. excepting childhood, he has breakfasted 25,000 times, as well as dined and supped. Supposing that he had taken three cups of coffee or tea a day, once at each meal, he has consumed 75,000 cups of either beverage. If he smoked three cigars a day he would have consumed the enormous quantity of 54,- 750 cigars, which at five cents apiece would mean s2,737.50 went up in smoke. At the rate of pound of meat day he has eaten 25, 900 pounds, or as much as F oxen. If he walked mile day. omit ting, of course, his childhood, he has covered 25, 900 miles. .Sa
 He has taken 735, $40, 900 breaths, be- ing 1900 an hour, 28,000 a day and 10,- 152,00O in a year. The number of the heart beats is still greater Let us SUD- pose that there were 75 heart beats a minute. This would be 4,500 in an hour, 10S,000 day, 39,420,000 a year and 2,759, ,400,0 900 for 70 years of life.
 And so the statistics could go on ad infinitum, but the figures given will be sufficient to show what life of 70 years means

 NORFOLK, Va, Oct. 31.-The cruiser West Virginia, with President Roose- welt on board, conveyed by the cruisers Colorado, Pennsylvania and Maryland. passed in the Virginia capes last night On account of the heavy sea it was de- cided that the president would not transship to the Dolphin at Lynn Ha- ven inlet, as intended. The Dolphin and the cruiser squadron proceeded up the Chesapeake bay. At Smiths point, the mouth of the Potomac, the transfer was made.
 cruiser West Virginia, carrying Presi- dent Roosevelt, faced a heavy gale from the northyard and eastward, with heavy head sea, making it ad- yisable to slow down from twenty to eighteen knots. In the afternoon the West Virginia resumed the speed of twenty knots and against stiff breeze from the northward and eastward pro ceeded, with a moderate sea on her beam. At 4:30 o'clock the United Dlates steamer Maryland, sister ship of the West Virginia, and the Pennsyl- vania and Colorado came up and after rendering the customary salute and honors to the presidents flag took their position in the squadron. The president spent most of the time on the war ships bridge.
