Ehamol1in, Pa, Sept. 49, President
John Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers Of America has announced
that the convention Of mine workers Of
the three anthracite districts at which
demands will be formulated to be pre-
scented to the anthracite coal compa-
MES next spring VIII be held here Cd
Dec. IA.
The mine workers Of the three dis
tricts will elect delegates to represent
them. This is similar to the action SAX.
en- before the great strike of 1902. The
award of the anthracite coal strike
commission Will expire on March 81
next.
Mitchell has been in the anthracite
region for the last two months holding,
meetings every day to strengthen the
union After the 1902 strike there was.
a falling off in membership. Many of
those who dropped out arerreturning.
Among the demands that the eonven-
tion will probably formulate are an
eight hour workday for all classes of

THE Jefferson Club, of Chicago, the
influential Democratic association Of
that city, gave William J. Bryan a
banquet last week, at which he was
vociferously hailed as the party stand
ard bearer in 1908. The Republican
party has no objection. Mr. Bryan is
no doubt the idol of vast majority of
his party, and would give the Repub-
licans something to warm up for their
duty in the next campaign, such as
Judge Parker failed to provide. The
Judge was cold as a clam, probably
from the habit of taking his early
morning dip in the Hudson, which
helped to regulate his temperature.
Bryan is warm and somewhat impul-
siYe, which makes him popular among
the Democrats in every section of the
Union. The campaign of 1908 prom
Uses to be a more exciting one than
many in the recent past, as important
interests in the business world will be
compelled to take a more active part
in politics than they have been accus-
toned to doing. And Mr.. Bryan
would seem to be bidding for some Of
them, Judging from his speech of Tues
day night regarding Capitalization of
power in government.

The strenuous contest waged by AS

The strenuous contest waged by AS
semblyman Everett Colby and his
friends in Essex county against Major
Lentz, and incidentally the organiza
ton, resulted in sweeping victory
for the former, they electing 1888 dele
gates very large majority. They

Echoes Of the Duffy Defalcation.

Several more suits have been inSti-
tuted against J. S, Bache & Co. for
money lost by e. f. Duffy.
Guild, Lum & Tamblyn, counsel
representing William F. Mullin, have
filed the papers in a suit against J.. S.
Bache & Co., for the recovery of $50
shares of Public Service stock, pledged
by Mr.. Mullin with the missing broker
as security for a loan of $4,000. 1t is
the contention Of Mr.. Mullin that in
the transaction Mr.. Duffy acted as
agent for the concern he represented.
The $50 shares of stock, the papers in
the suit alleged, were sold the day af-
ter the deposit thereof for nearly S40,-
900, leaving Mr.. Mnllin an equity in
the stock transaction of about $4,000.
Since last Tuesday the report that
Mr. Duffy had been seen in Havana,
Cuba, less than month ago by trav-
cling salesman for a Newark concern
has been in circulation among brok-
ers and room traders who formerly
numbered the absent broker among
their friends. At the time he was
seen he was in a telegraph office
a suburb of Havana and was evil
identity employed as an operator

The Mills MN saved.

The mill of the George A. Mills Com
pany caught fire on Wednesday after
noon, but fortunately the flames were
extinguished before any serious dam
age was done. The boiler failed some
time ago and pending the arrival of a
new one a portable one was set up in
the back yard. A spark from this
temporary boiler set fire to the side Of
the mill above the roof of an addition.
The men at quitting time went back
to their lockers and smelled smoke,
Investigation showed that the room
in which pieces of pine for shutter
work are kept was on fire. The mill
hose was put into service and analarm
sounded. 1t looked for time asst the
mill would go, but prompt attention
saved it.

heard crying out at about four O'Clock
in the morning, and it was found that
his clothes were all afre. The flames
were put out and physician called,
who ordered him taken to the hospital,
Peterson, Lived by himself in a room in
r. Al, Mitchell's barn, and on the night
previous to the occurrence had been
drunk. He told people when his con

UNDER an order Just issued by the
u. S. Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. manufacturers and dealers in pat
emit medicines largely composed of dis
titled liquors, viii after the first Of
next December, have to procure the
same license, and be liable to the
same penalties that are imposed upon
dealers and rectifiers in liquors. 1t
has been found that many prepare
tions extensively advertised and sold
as medicines are SO largely composed
of distilled spirits that the small adj
dition of drugs which they contain
does not impart any medicinal quality
and is hardly discoyerable. Some of
these so called medicines have been
found to contain as high as 45 per
cent of alcohol. No article is specifi-
cally mentioned in this order Col
lectors Of internal revenue are in
strdcted to examine the formulas, in
spect or analyze the product of manu-
facture and decide each case on its
merits. The ruling is said to affect
several prominent and largely adver-
tised proprietary medicines.

In his annual report, made last
week at Denver, Commander-in-Chief
King gave figures which show the G..
A. R. has now in good standing 232,-
455 members. OF the soldiers who
died in the past year 9,I52 were en-
rolled in the loyal organization. The
gathering at Denver aggregated about
5000 veterans, which is smaller than
other encampments, but it is crafty
ing to know that so many of the old
soldiers were still able to march.
Nearly all Of them have now passed
three score, but many are still sturdy
and vigorous, hale and hearty. These
enjoy their annual reunion to the full,
and never fail to attend when they
can make it possible to do so, The
Grand Army men and their strong or
.ganization are worthy of highest re-
gard. More than anything else is the
Army "a charitable body, looking after
the needy, giving relief to the widow
and orphan, helping veterans who
have met with reverses, and who,
without it's aid, might be compelled
to ask public charity The service
rendered to this country and to this
government by these men upon the
battlefield is part, and most honor
able part, of the nations history.
The work they are doing to-day must
rebound none the less to their credit.

SENATOR AMsLER DEAD.
From 6oyhood He Was Interested Ia
Agricultural Pursuits.


From 5oyhood He Was Interested ia
Agricultural Pursuits.
Chatham, N. Y, Sept 49, Henry
s. Amber, state senator from the
Twenty-fourth district, is dead In his
home here from a complication Of dis
eases. He had been i'll for months, and
at his age, .sixty-nine, his powers of re-
cuperation were too weak to respond to
treatment.
Senator Amber was interested from
boyhood In agricultural pursuits. He
was a breeder Of cattle for many years,
but gave it up to engage in general
farming and stock raising. All the po-
'litical positions he held, both elective
and appointive, had some connection,
immediate or remote, with agricultural
pursuits.
Mr.. Amber was born In New York
city In 1885 and started In business life
as bookkeeper in the Morgan Iron
works, but when he was twenty years
old he went to his fathers farm in
AusterIitz, Columbia county In 1861
he became agent and steward for the
New York Institution For the Blind,
succeeding Grover Cleveland He went
into farming in 1873, taking an active
interest in politics, and was appointed
assistant commissioner Of agriculture
in the third division. He was identi-
fed with all the prominent agricul-
tural societies In the state, and every
governor from Morton to Odell APP
pointed him delegate to the state
farmers congress.

OUR EXPANDING FoREIGN TRADE.


Almost with tears in their eyes the
free traders are pleading for tariff re-
vision because it is dwarfing our for
eign trade and shutting US out OF the
markets Of the world, says the Jersey
City Journal
In spite Of these dolorous complaints
our foreign trade continues to grow.
The record for the eight months end
ing on the first day of this month
show an increase in exports over the
same month of last year amounting to
-S115, 149 658, the total value Of exports
during the period being $685., 1853, OBS,
The imports of the same months were
.s77o, 1909, a comparative increase
over last year of s1O3, O76, AS.
The foreign trade of the eight
months was s218 ,228,0 greater than
in the same months of last year, and
the balance of trade was $4,000 ,216
in favor of this country. Last year in
this period it was s173,934, O93, there
fore this year shows gain Of S12, 073,-
123.
The August exports were the largest
ever made in that month, aggregat-
ing s117, 453,58l, or s25, 1879 700 more
than those of August, 1904
The complaints of the free traders
recalls story told Of Abraham Lin
coin when certain temperance advo-
Gates complained that General Grant
used whiskey. Lincoln inquired dill
gently about the brand Of the whiskey
used by Grant and said he wanted to
send a few barrels of it to some of the
other Generals who were not quite so
successful.

THE primary elections throughout
the county were generally well attend
ed and in some cases were holly con-
tested. This is a healthy sign when
men become interested in public af-
fairs they attend the primaries and
make themselves responsible for the
good government of the community.
The principal Office to be filed at the
coming election is that of Sheriff, and
so far as we can learn the delegates
are mostly unpledged, although Messrs.
Schoneberger, Shaw and Orr, each
have some delegates. All are good
men well qualified to perform the
duties of the office. Assemblyman
John M. Mills will be renominated
without a question, for the other AS
semblyman no one has been named SO
far but R.. J Chaplin, of Mount Arling-
ton, so far as we have heard. The
county convention will be held next
Thursday, after which the political
pot win begin to boil. 1t is an off year
in politics so far but little interest has
been manifested outside of the men
having the matter of the party in

Mr.. CoLBY's campaign remarks
the Wall Street Journal, is notable be-
cause although a Wall street man he
actually ran as an anti-corporation
candidate and won his fight. His vic
tory is verdict on the part OF the
Republican voters in Essex county in
favor Of the equal taxation Of all prop
erty as opposed to special taxation of
corparate property as under the system
now existing in New Jersey. 1t is also
decision in favor Of the limitation of
public utility franchises. 1t is also a
decision in favor Of the destruction of
existing alliances between political
bosses and corporations for mutual
rake-offs" or graft 1t is more
over a decision in favor of the election
of United States senators by the direct
vote of the people. For all these
things Mr.. Colby stood in his campaign
for State senator. His victory upor
such platform is remarkable ev emf

THE license issue at Asbury Park
resulted in the defeat of Frank o..
TenBroeck for a denomination to the
Mayoralty, an Office he has held al
most uninterruptedly for the last
seventeen years. The Mayor was
caught between the Prosecutors office
and thejlotel proprietors, and in his
effort to obey the law made enemies
among the unlicensed liquor sellers.
The probabilities are that Mr.. Ten
Brock will be thankful, before the
next year has passed, that he was set
aside. for there is likely to be trouble
ahead for the Mayor Of Asburg Park
unless the speak-easies are suppressed.
