A SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.
Mont Pelee Celebrates Anniversary OF
Awful Catastrophe with An
other Eruption.

According to a letter written by
young girl resident In Rosseau, Island OF
Dominica, to a friend at New Haven,
Conn, the volcano Mont Pelee, In Mar
Unique, on May last, by singular
coincidence, observed the anniversary
OF lie catastrophe, May s, 1909. when
30, coo lives we're lost and the city OF
st. Pierre destroyed, by again bursting
into active eruption. No mention Is
made Of any loss of life.
The letter states that there was a
very active eruption on Sunday, May 8.
There was an immense ontburst OF
smoke and clnders, and the central
cone within the crater appears to have
been entirely elected.

ca At the same time there was some
slight volcanic disturbances at Guada-

crater at Dominica was unusually agi-

It was recalled here that the disturb
ance OF crater lakes and slight erup-
tions for several days before the tre-
mendous outburst on May s, 1902, were
premonitory of that disaster and led a
Martinique scientist to investigate and
by cipher dispatch warn the govern

CORELLI ON LITERATURE.
Authoress Tells of Rewards of the
Life and Also Sets Forth Its
Unpleasant Feature.

In recent article in the Strand Mag
azine Marie Corelli defines the happiest
life as "the life literary, which means
that we can always choose our own
company"
"The author who can hold and main
tain all the real privileges and rights OF
authorship" she says, is a ruler OF
millions and under the subJection OF
none"
The rewards OF the literary life are
set forth by her In detail. They in
clude endless requests for autographs,
lnnumerable begging letters, impera-
tive. sometimes threatening, demands
Tor interviews, hundreds OF love letters,
at least one offer Of marriage week,
free circulation OF lies ala si4accrs
concerning ones self, bitter animosity
OF rival contemporaries. and persistent
Misrepresentation of character. aims
and intentions.
Turning from these characteristic
enumerations of rewards, Miss Corelli
waxes enthusiastic over cheerful.
contented spirit and tranquility Of
mind, born of firm faith and noble
Ideals.
II Is a touching picture. the cheerful,
contented spirit OF Miss Corelli. which

THE FAMILY OF ROOSEVELT.
Maternal Ancestors Of the President
Not Noted for Their Aversion
to Race Suicide.

President Roosevelt's mother was a
Miss Bulloch. of Georgia, but few facts
have been published with regard to her
family, for the president cannot trace
it further back than to the Bulloch
who settled in South Carolina at the
beginning of the eighteenth century
A distinguished antiquarian who has
been investigating the history of the
family says hat the Dullochs came
almost to man from the little parish
of Baldernoch, Stirlingshire, the regis
ters Of which are fairly complete from
the beginning or the seventeenth cen.
tury down to the present time. They
unquestionaoly were of Celtic origin
and married for generations into high
land families
l'ae name originally was Bolloch. It
did net take the form OK Bulloch TIL
the middle OF the eighteenth century,
when fha changes in nomenclature af-
feated by The Jacobte rebellion would
seem to have affected it. In any case
the name has II, .ning to do with the
Bulloeh family, which is quite unlis-
tingushed In Britain, its members
being mostly small cotters, weavers or
golfers.
Not one OF the family Is to be found
at Baldernocf today and though there
are representative in America and

ShamolIin, Pa, Dec. 4.-For week
or more this town will be the center
of interest to hundreds of thousands
of anthracite coal MIXERS, who will
await with interest most intense the
result of the deliberations of the con-
vention OF their delegates, which
opened its sessions at the G. A. 4.
Opera House this morning. About
seven hundred delegates, representing
the three great anthracite districts,
known as the Lackawanna, Schuylkilll
and Lehigh anthracite districts, Nos.
1, and 8, were in attendance when
the joint convention of the United
Mine Workers of the three districts
named was called to order. The open
ing session was devoted to addresses
of welcome and routine business,
which will be continued in the after
noon session. John Mitchell, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers OF
America, called the convention to
order and presided.
The object of the convention is to
consider and take action concerning
conditions of employment to become
effective after March 81, 1906. On
that day expires the agreement be-
tween the operators and the United
Miners which was signed three years
ago. al the conclusion of the big
strike of 1902. For some time n has
been clearly understood that the
United Mine Workers would refuse TO
renew the agreement after the eXpir-
alton Of the three years and would 10
sist upon certain demands. which the
Union was not strong enough three
years ago to enforce. This conclusion
Of the agreement left the United Mine
Workers i'm a rather weakened condi-
tiOn, as thousands of the members
dropped out, feeling secure for at
least three years u was John j.
Mitchell who recognized the danger
Of this decrease In membership.
Urged by the officers OF the three

forts to arouse enthusiasm among the
miners Of their respective districts

was continued, and at present the or
ganiZation has a membership of over
100000 and a fund OF nearly 81 900, 900
in it's treasury, which may be used
In case of a strike.
Ever since the agreement was
signed In accordance with the award
made by the Anthracite Coal Strike
Commission, appointed by President
Roosevelt, the miners were determ-
ined not to accept a renewal Of the
agreement, unless the operators
( agreed 70 recognize the union by maxi

than that which ended three years
ago. It is a significant fact that, al
though the situation has been thor
ougnly discussed in the district con-
ventions, none of the delegates to this
joint convention were instructed.
That leaves them prefectly free to
vote on any proposition that may
come up. one of the first things that
will be done by the convention will be
TO appoint a committee to wait upon
the operators and request conter1
ence. This committee will explain to
the operators, of given an opportun-
ity. that the conference is asked so
that mutual agreemnt may be
reached as to the terms OF employ
ment at all collieries after March 81,
1906.
1t is considered certain that the
convention will take a stand for an
eight hour work day, uniform pay for
classes of employees not rated as min
ers and specific terms of employment,
but these will be held subject to a
joint discussion, and will not be OBJ
truded in advance of the request for
a conference. Should the operators
issue or post a notice Of their inten-
tion or Willingness TO continue in
force the commissions award, this
would be disregarded, unless the no
tice should be addressed to the con-
yention, the United Mine Workers, or
one or more of the authorized repre-
sentatives of that organization. Should
the operators refuse to meet or dis
cuss with union representatives, the
convention will openly declare on he
half of the members of the Organiza-
tion that they would refuse to recOg-
niZe the agreement after March 81
There is "A strong feeling Of conf
dence among the delegates that the
miners are now, If ever, in a position
TO dictate their terms to the opera
tors. They are convinced that their
demands are just and will Insist up
ON their acceptance,
One of the most important topics
10 be discussed by the convention is
the form in which the Cancellation
board is 10 be retained. IL is under
stood that President Nichols has a
plan to present, but nothing has been
diyulged as to the nature of his plan.
1t is expected that the consideration
of this subject win occupy the atten-
tion Of the convention for at least
two or three days. II is believed that
the convention will be in session for
at least ten days, perhaps even
longer

that the only sane method is to an
swer by force the threats of organlza'

Such interviews increase the feel
