Since vague rumblings of discomfort
on the part of the anthracite miners have
been heard the Reading and Pennsylva-
mia, especially the former, have been lay
ing up unusual quantities of coal. 1t is
significant that an official, high in the
Reading Coal and Iron Company, recent
ly declared that by next April the COM
pany would have on hand supply of
anthracite sufficient for one year. Should
President Mitchell remain firm in his
announced intention of presenting the
miners ultimatum to Baer at the con-
clusion of the agreement now in force
Il strike surely will follow.
Should Baer and the operators agree
to meet Mitchell the latter's demands
are certain to be refused. and the an
thracite regions again will be the scene
of monster strike. Since the last
strike, however, conditions have changed
considerably, and, for a variety of causes,
the miners would find themselves face
to face with a greater uphill fight. Stor-
ing up of coal by operators shows they
will be more prepared for the crisis in
1906 than they were in 1902, and the
miners chances of producing a fuel FAM
inc will be diminished accordingly.
The miners offset this. however. by
declaring that, as the soft coal agree
ments, where such have been made will
expire simultaneously with the life of the
anthracite strike commissions decision,
the United Mine Workers. which have
jurisdiction in both hard and soft coal
fields, will inaugurate universal strike.

The United States was not fortu-
nate enough. however, to be in the
path Of tOtality. Only the skirt, or
renumbra, of the moons shadow
passed over this country, while the
complete shadow, or umbra, took Il
slanting path from Hudson's Bay to
Southeastern Arabia. In this tract,
from which the direct rays of the sun
were totally blocked for few min
utes, many parties of astronomers set
up their apparatus in the hope of
making observations which would
render more intimate the worlds ac-
quaintance with the mighty ball of
fire about which it revolves. Three
American expeditions, stationed in
Spain and Morocco, were among the
number
From AssOuan, Egypt, comes the
news that the British, American and
Russian expeditions enjoyed perfect
weather, and made valuable observa-

minutes and twenty-four seconds.

Mrs. Baggett says in recommending
Dodd's Kidney Pills to her friends,
my urine would hardly pass. The
doctors said 1 had Dropsy. 1 have

OLD-TIME FAMILIES.

Some Records that Will Probably
Never Be Equaled.
The north of England seems to be
fertile soil for large families, for in
1897 We read of q Cumberland man
and his wife, accompanied by thirty
of their children, all attending the
christening of the tbirty-first child,
and in earlier years another north
countryman, Thomas Greenhill, ap-
piled to the then Duke of Norfolk, earl
marshal, for an augmentation of his
coat Of arms on the singular ground
that he was ''the seventh son and the
thirty-ninth child of one father and
mother"
In Conway churchyard there was to
be seen-it can scarcely be there to-
day-a tombstone bearing the follow
ing remarkable epitaph: Here lyeth
the body of Nicholas Hooker. of Con-
way, gentlemen, vino was the forty
first child of his father. William Hook
er, by Alice. his wife, and the father
OF twenty-seven children, 1897
In families it is not I'm unknown
thing for one child to be old enough
to have sister or brother young
enough to be his or her great-grand-
child. Thus the eldest son of Thomas
Beatty, of Drumcondra. had passed his
seventy-third birthday when his young
est brother qualified for the cradle.
When William Frost, of Galphay, near
Ripon, died in 17S0 his eldest child
was sturdy boy of 80 summers and
his youngest was hardly 16, and the
Lady Powerscourt of to-day is half
century older than her latest brother.
There are cases on record where q
century or more has divided the we'd
ding days of father and son. The first
earl of Leicester was first married in.
1I75, and his son led his second wife
to the altar in August. 1873; while Cap
tain Francis Maude, who was married
on June 2S, 1S49, was following the
example his father, Lord Haiwarden'
had set him ninety three years earlier.
in 1856.
But both these cases are suite
eclipsed by that OF General G.. Steven
son, of Bristol. who was united to his
third wife in 1884 at the age of 50.
and whose father was first welded in
1704, the year of Blenheim. This SEEM
ing impossibility is accounted for by
the fact that the father, who was
born in 1850, was married for the third
time at the age of 40, and the general
was the son of the late union. Thus
we get the remarkable result of man
whose father was born in Charles lis
reign wooing and wedding within the
memory of many people still living
London Tid Bits.

A11KADo ORDERS CONCESSIONS.
Komura and Takahira, Downcast, Sub
nit to Instructions.

Komura and Takahira, Downcast, Sub
| NIT to Instructions.
| The result was not brought about by
the initiative of Baron Komura, the
chief japanese envoy, and his aid. Min
lister Takahira. 1t was ordered by the
japanese emperor himself.
Komura and Takahira wanted an in
demrity. They claimed and claim now
that by this action Japan has lost the
legitimate fruits of her victories.
Although President Roosevelt had
much to do with bringing about these
overwhelming concessions by the Japan
csc, it is known that Baron Kaneko, the
japanese financial agent, who is in this
country and who has been so persistent
a visitor of the President, went over the
head of Baron Komura and reached the
ear of the emperor through Marquis Ito,
one of the elder statesmen.
The Japanese officially explain their
remarkable concessions on the ground of
humanity. This is as good an official
explanation as any other. The fact is
that the present ENJOYS, Komura and
Takahira, were beaten at home by the
representatives of Kaneko and the influ-
ence of Marquis Ito.
Ine RuSSlanS are JuDllant. Iney came
to Portsmouth with nothing to lose and
everything to gain, and they practically
dictated their own terms.
The hard-headed business man, NJ.
Witte, whom the Gar so wisely picked
out for his envoy, although besought by
people in his own country, in England,
France and America, and although per-
sonally begged by President Roosevelt,
TO pay some sort of an indemnity, stub
bornly and persistently refused. He won.
1t must be said that he did not expect
to win, for he said that he was thunder
struck when Baron Komura waived the
indemnity. Although Witte is peace
man, he would have allowed the war to
go on indefinitely before he would have
paid a cent of tribute.
He granted all the obvious demands
of Japan, granted everything Japan had
requested before the war. Then he msde
the argument that Russia is not ccn-
quered nation, that this war is colo
NAL war and that Russia can continue it
indefinitely.
Witte had no Baron Kaneko work
ing against him in this country. He
goes home with the glory of settling
war that has crushed the Russian ar
mics. destroyed the Russian fleets, driv-
en- Russia out of territory she had grab
bed as if his country was the conquer
ing force instead of the conquered.

DUST THE DEMON.
A Tussle with Coffee.

There is something fairly demoni-
acal in the way coffee sometimes
wreaks its fiendish malice on those
who use it.
A lady writing from California says:
MY husband and l, both lovers Of
coffee, suffered for some time from
very annoying form of nervousness, ac-
companied by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort Of af-
fection of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
Il was unable to hold my head up
straight, the tension of the nerves
drew it to one side, causing me the
most intense pain. We got no relief
from medicine, and were puzzled as 20
what caused the trouble, till friend
suggested that possibly the coffee we
drank had something TO do with Ii.
and advised that we quit 1t and try
Postum Coffee.
I'VE followed his advice. and from
the day that we began to use Postum
We both began to improve. and in a
very short time both of us were entire
ly relieved The nerves became steady
once more, the headaches ceased, the
muscles in the back of my neck relax
ed, my head Strengthened up and the
dreadful pain that had so punished me
while / used the old kind of coffee
vanished.
1--WE have never resumed the use of
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as well as we did the former
beverage. And we are delighted to
find that we can give 1t freely to our
children also, something we never
dared to do with the old kind of cof-
fee" Name given by Postum Co., Bat
tie Creek, Mich.
Postum Coffee contains absolutely
no drugs of any kind but relieves the
coffee drinker from the old drug pol
son.
There's a reason.
