thracite operators favor advancing the
price Of coal, closing down the mines
to limit the output.
Herman Justi, commissioner for the
Illinois Coal Operators association,
sent out the call This will be the
first time the anthracite coal oper'
ators will have entered into an agree
ment with the bituminous coal opef-
ators. The object OF this is to stifle
the increasing growth Of unionism IN
the eastern coal mines.
There exists an agreement among
the western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi-
ana and Illinois coal operators known
as the interstate agreement, whereby
the operators annually meet the unit
ed mineworkers of the various dis
tricts and settle on a mining rate for
the year.
Ignore the Unions.
The anthracite coal operators are
unwilling to deal with the miners
union and have about 10000 miners
employed in eastern Pennsylvania I'M
der individual contracts To kill the
miners union the anthracite employ
ers must have the assistance of the
soft coal operators OF The west
All the wage scales IN the states
named expire April lin fact, nearly
all the mining scales Of the country
expire on that date. 1t is to meet this
crisis that the meeting has been called
in Chicago in November. The coal
miners are getting better wages than
ever in the history Of the industry,
taking working facilities into consid-
Grafton. The interstate price is based
on S5 cents per ton Cor coal mined
and run over an inch and one-quarter
screen. Some of the western coal op-
orators want this reduced to 20 cents
ton and the coal miners will be met
with this proposition next January a:
the wage conference.
The eastern coal operators will not
be represented at this gathering. OF
course, the coal miners representa-
tives will refuse to accept the reduc-
ton and the mines will be closed
down until either side is starved out.

It is so warm you can wear your summer pants, and the water smells of clans that died long ago. It Is just as though Chicago was flooded by the bursting of the sewers, and people had to go around State Street and all the cross streets. and Michigan Avenue. in fishing boats, with three feet of water on top of the pavements. Imagine the people of Chicago taking gondolas and riding along the streets, landing at the stores and hotels, just as they do now from carriages.
 We had been riding In gondolas for two days, getting aground in the mud when the tide was out, and going to sleep and waiting for the tide to come in. when 1t seemed to me that dad needed some excitement, and last night I gave 1t to him.
 We were out in our gondola, and the moon was shining. and the electric lights made the canal near the Rialto bridge as light as day The Rialto bridge crosses the Grand Canal, and has been the meeting place for lovers for thousands of years It is a grand structure. of carved marble, but 1t wouldn't hold up threshing machine engine half as well as an iron bridge. Well, the canal was filled with thou sands of gondoIas, loaded with the flower of Venetian society. and the music just made you want to fall in love. Dad said If he didn't fall in love. or something, before morning, he would quit the place. I made up my mind he should fall into something, so

Decntur ChaDteP,

The reception given last Thursday evening in the Elks Hall by the Daugh- ters of the Confederacy in honor of Lees birthday was a most pleasant oc- casion both for members themselves and for the invited guests.
 The hall and parlor were elaborately decorated with festoons of red and white with Confederate flags and with red and white carnations resulting in a very effective scheme of adornment
 The guests were met at the head of the stairs and escorted to the receiving line in the parlor, where they met and chatted with the chapter officers. Then after mlngling with the crowd of merry people and listening to several excellent vocal solos. rendered by Mir Johnson. they were ushered into the hall where hot coffee and sandwiches tied with red and white ribbon were served. A string band furnished music for the occasion and the evening passed in a very pleas ant way. The Joe Wheeler Chapter of the U. D. C. may rest assured that peo- pie who were their guests could not have spent a more enjoyable evening. The chapter was very sorry to learn that a number of the invitations sent out were not received and wishes to express its regret

coughed up over $40 the first day. just giving to beggars, and he thought he had got them all bought up, and that they would let him alone, but the next day when he showed up there were ten beggars where there was one the day before, and they followed him every where, and all the loafers in the plazas laughed and acted as if they would catch the cripples when dad got out of sight and rob the beggars. Dad thinks the way the people live is by dividing with beggars. A man who has a de- formity, or a sore that you can see half a block away, seems to be considered rich here, like a man in America who owns stock in great corporations. These beggars pay more taxes than the dukes and things who live in style.
 l suppose dad never studied geogra- phy. so he didn't know how Venice was situated, so he told me to go out ana order a hack the first morning we were here, and we would go and see the town. When l told dad that were no hacks, no horses and no reads in Venice, he said I was crazy in my heao and wanted me to take some medicine and stay in bed for few days, but convinced him. when we got outdoors. that everything run by water, and when I showed him the canal and the gondolas, he remembered all about Venice, and picked out a gondolier thai looked like one dad saw at the world fair. and we hired him because he talked English. All the English the gondolier could use were the words you bet your life" and you're dam right" but dad took him because t' seemed so homelike, and we have been riding in gondolas every day.
 On the water you can get away from the beggars. This is an ideal eXist' cnce. You just get in the gondola, un- der a canopy, and the gondolier does the work. and you glide along between buildings and wonder who lives there and when they wake up. as all day long the blinds are closed, and every body seems to bo dead. But at night when the canals are lighted. and the moon shines, the people put on their

ed like grinding a butcher knife on a grtndstone. and I yelled, too. and the gondolas began to gather around us, and the two men were rescued. The Rondolier had been gondoling all his life and he had never been in the wa ter before, and they thought 1t would strike in and kill him. so they wrap ped him up in blankets and put him aboard his canoe, and he looked at me as though l was to blSzne. They got a boat hook fastened in dads pants and landed him in the gondola. and he dripped all the way to our hotel, and he smelled like a fish market.
 I asked Garibaldi, on the way to the hotel, If he was counting his beads when he was down under the water with nothing but his pants out of the water, and he said: You're dam right" but I don't think he knew the meaning of the words, because he probably wouldn't swear in the pres ence of death. Dad just sat and shiv- cred all the way to the hotel, but when we got to our room I asked him what his idea was in jumping overheard right there before folks. with his best clothes on. and he said 1t was all Gari- baldfs fault, that just as dad was get ting a good grip on the paddle, the
 
 onions in his breath paralyzed dad 80 he fell overheard.
 Then you don't blame your little boy, do you?" says I. and dad look at me as he was hanging his wet shirt on a chair Course not! you were asleep In the cabin. But say. if I ever hear that you did tip that gondola, it will go hard with you" but I just looked innocent. and dad went on dry ing his shirt by a charcoal brazier and never suspected me. But I am getting the worst of it, for dad and his clothes smell so much like a clam bake that 1t makes me sick.
 Well, old friend. you ought to close up your grocery and come over here and go to Vesuvlus and Pompeii with us, where we can dry our clothes by the volcnao. and dig In the city that was buried in hot ashes 2,0O0 years ago They say you can dig up num- mics there that are dead ringers for you. old man.

VENICE, PrALY.-MY DEAR OLD
 CHUMIRENO: Dad couldn't get out of
 Switzerland quick enough after he got
 thawed out the day after we climbed
 the glaziers. We found that alm ost
 all the tourists in Geneva were tn sre
 because they did not want to go home
 and say they had not visited Switzer-
 land. so they just jumped from one place to another. The people who stay there any length of time are like the
 foreign residents of Mexico. who are
 wanted for something they have done at home, that Is against the law.
 There are more anarchists in Geneva than anything else, and they look
 hairy and wild eyed. and they plot to
 kill kings and drink beer out of two
 quart jars.
 When we found that more attention
 was paid to men suspected of crime .p
 their own countries, and men who were
 believed to be plotting to assassinate
 kings, dad said 1t would be good
 joke if a story should get out that he
 was suspected of being connected with syndicate that wanted to assassinate some one, so I told a fellow that l got acquainted with that the fussy old man that tried to ride glazier without

 Say, they will believe anything in
 Switzerland. It wasn't two hours be-
 fore long haired people were inviting
 dad to dinners, and the same night he
 was taken to a den where lot or an archists were reveling, and dad reveled till almost morning. When he came
 back to the hotel he said his hosts got
 all the money he had with him. through some game he didn't under
 stand, but he understood it was to go
 into a fund to support deserving anar- chists and dynamiters. He said when they found out he was suspected as- sassin nothing was too good for hlIn . He said they wanted to know how he expected to kill a president by soakine 2 baled hay in explosives. and dad said tit came to him suddenly to tell them | that the president rode on horsebacK a good deal, and he thought if horse was filled with baled hay and nitro 1 Rlycerine and the president spurred | inc horse and the horse jumped In the air and came down kerchunk on a asphalt pavement, the horse would ex- , plode, and when the rider came down

 our men could form in line for the ar-
 tack on the main body of the enemy. A fierce battle ragged till noon when General Beauregard ordered his men
 to fall back about ohe-fourth of a mile when they took a stand until o'clock during that time General Beauregard sent back a flag of truce to General Grant asking permission to send back troops to the battlefield to take care of the wounded but General Grant re- piled that he would take care of the wounded" General Beauregard then fell back to Corinth, with no enemy following. He fortified that place. but when the Federal troops came down against him he fell back and the en- emy came in without resistance. Gen eral Price and General Van Dorp crossed the Mississippi River and came up and gave them battle. Beauregard then went on his Kentucky raid. At Perrysville they had a severe battle with the enemy. From there we soon fell back out of Kentucky by Cumber- land Gap and Knoxville and Chatta- nooga from there we went to Mur- freesboro and on December 31 we were engaged with Rosecrans's force. In the first engagement was wounded in the right arm and left the battle to go to the hospital and have the wound dressed. I then started back to the battlefield to help the wounded but I soon came up with a mounted guard and was asked. where was going" I replied, T am going on the battle
 ground to help the wounded" When
 the offiUer in command asked If were
 wounded I told him I was, he then
 asked If could help guard prlson-
 ers," and told him I could. He said
 there were plenty on the battlefield to
 care for the wounded but he wanted

 to Murfreesboro where they were still
 fighting, but at night General Bragg
 withdrew, leaving Rosecrans on

Our regiment the 25th Alabama captured almost the entire regiment in front of us. I was sent back as guard for the prisoners after crossing Chicka- mauga Creek. we turned down the creek to where there were other prisoners. They were paroled and sent back to Atlanta in squads of five hundred each. I was with the second squad. While waiting for the first squad to get ahead, three officers asked me if I helped guard some federal officers to Chattanooga. T said T did" and

covered with sausage covers and horse meat, he would be dead, or would want to be. Dad said the anarchists went into executive session and took up a collection to send a man to Berlin to i'll the Emperors saddle horses with cut feed like dad suggested.
 Well, the anarchiAt story was too much for Switzerland, and the next morning dad was told by a policeman that he had to get out of the country quick. and it didn't take us IS minutes to pack up, and here we are in Venice.
 We'll say, old friend. this is the place where you ought to be. because nobody works here. that is, nobody but gon- doliers. We have been here several days. and have not seen a soul doing anything except begging, or selling things that nobody seems to want, If any body buys anything but onions, it is for curiosity, or for souvenirs, and yet the whole population sits around in the sun and watches the strangers from other lands price things and go away without buying, and then every body looks mad. as though they would like to jab a knife into the stranger. The plazas and the places near the canal are filled with hucksters and beggars. and you never saw beggars so mutilated and sore and disgusting. I so deformed. without taking an ax to them, and 1t is so pitiful to see them that you can't help shedding your money.

 forces, and was told that it was Gen.
 eral Beauregard. When Beauregard
 was called. Prentice said to him: Gen
 eral, I fought you hard all day. but shall be compelled to submit to su-
 perior forces: order your men to cease
 firing and I will order mine to cease firing" He then returned to his line
 and at the top of his voice gave the
 order and they ceased firing. Then General Beauregard in a low tone or dered our men to stop fighting, which
 they did, which ended Sundays fight | ing. Soon after the enemy marched
 out near where I was and then were
 marched back over the battle ground as prisoners.
 was told that the field officers urged General Beauregard to mass his artil- lery, and that of the enemy on a fort that our men had not been able to cap ture so that they might take q gun boat that lay in the river. but he said he had been engaged all a' y and was tired and that 1t would only be

BRILLIANT WOMEN
 OF WASHINGTON

The real social center of the United States. in winter at least. is the na- tionai capital. Even the millionaire of New York's fashionable set now con- siders 1t necessary to have 6 house in Washington, where his family remain during the season. from January to the beginning of Lent In the diplo- matic corps there can be found the most courteous and accomplished mem- bers of the court circles of Europe. There in the higher departments of the government service are men distin- guished the world over for scientific attainments. To Washington, too. wend their way the most famous men and women who come to our country from foreign lands.
 Women at the capital play a more important part in society than else- where in America. From all over the country. east, west north. south, gath CT the wives and daughters of cabinet ministers and Congressman. women frequently beautiful and accomplished. It has been said time and again that nowhere else In the world can be found together in one city so many brilliant and attractive women as one meets in Washington during the sea- son. Here may be seen the American girl at her best and prettiest.
 There Is yet remaining in the nation al capital enough of the easy, gracious old Southern element to keep out of It's social gatherings the stiffness and formality so painful always to the newcomer.
