BIG STRIKE THREATENED.
Soft Coal Miners Of Country May Gs
Out # Demand for Better
Pay Is Refused

Danville. ILL.,, Oct sO.-Industrial
woubles threatening the entire soft
coal industry of the United States have
loomed up as the result of a statement
given out here that bituminous miners
of all the soft coal producing states
are formulating demands for a wage
increase. Mine workers in Illinois and
the other states involved are planning <
to insist upon an increase amounting
to $50 per cent. to take effect when
the present working agreement expires,
April l. The contract Of the Pennsyi-
vania anthracite miners with the oper-
ators runs out at the same time. The
following states will be affected if the
proposed demand is made: Illinois,
West Virginia, Iowa. Kentucky, Kansas,

At Mombasa they met and, surpris-

STRANGE Commission
THE ROMANCE OF A BRITISH

to Select and Send Him q Wife

A lonely man was John Stobbs. To
him life in the solitary little station on
the Uganda railway had become we'll
nigh intolerable. The days dawned
herce and warm, and the black station
porters went about their work oblivi-
Gus OF the torrid heat, whilst he, the
Englishman in charge, swsltered and
longed for the cool country lanes of his
English home.
Company there was none. To John
Stobbs it seemed as if he had been
buried alive, SO entirely was he shut
out of the world.

diameter and weighs about so pounds.
The game is played on a ring, which IS
marked off every two or five yards as
in football. Instead of five forwards,
there are three, one goal keeper instead
OF two, one right wing instead OF
two, and one left wing instead of two.
This formation is taken when the bail
is put in play. After the "kick-off'' the
players may assume any position with
in the rules. In working the team which
snoves the ball under the crossbar and
between the goal posts is entitled to
score five points Lifting the ball or
throwing the ball over the cross bar
scores eight points, and safety counts
two points. The principal object of the
game is to push the ball and keep it in
action until such time as you can cross
the opponents goal. The opening of the
play is the most spectacular part OF
the Innovation. The ball rests in the
center OF the rink. At the call of the
whistle the teams dash for the ball on
skates 1t is in this play that the fast
est men on skates have the advantage.
Strength and pushing qualities can be
appreciated in this play. The game as
developed in England presents wide
field for trick players. It has all the
excitement in formations common to
the game of Rugby. to the flying wedge
and stealing the BALL. To An extent
blocking and tackling the opponent is
permissible and in this department OF
the game is said to rival Rugby. The
game was introduced in New York in
the autumn of 1902, but owing to the
inability of the promoter to secure q
perfect push ball. its debut was not as
successful as in England However, at
Harvard and in SONG of the athletic as
soeiations in and around New York the
game Saurishes during the football sea-
soa. The element of speed and Skill
which the rs4lsr skates will add to the
game ought to make it more interesting
than hockey and certainly far mora
amusing.

In England Johns brother sat with

ly-wanted a wife-and actually asked
him to select one for him.
Well, he would do his best And
forthwith he set about seeking amongst
his friends and acquaintance a girl
whom he thought his brother would
have chosen had he been there to see
AT last he discovered girl who, be
thought, possessed all the virtues his
brother admired. And now came the
delicate task of proposing on another's 8
behalf However, he overcame the diff
fculty and, painting his brother in
glowing words the girls objections,
too.
So one day John found a letter. ad-
dressed in a girlish hand, lying on his
desk. His heart huttered in most I'M
accountable manner as. by some intuI

idea had been accomplished.
And now came several months in
which he wrote to his little English
sweetheart" for thus, in thought. he
fondIy termed her And each mail he,

home, hoping he was not lonely, and,
finally, saying that she was coming

issue of the paper went out without

which that work Is usually prepared
the editor was confined to his bed by
