been made to Governor Pennypacker
for troops. There are several others

TIL foreign element have been cele-
brating Easter Monday in the mining
district and much liquor has been
used. The streets have been thronged
all day with a boisterous crowd, but
no sign of trouble appeared until
night. A body of strikers were as
sembled in front of Windber Jail dis
cussing the mass meeting that had
been held during the afternoon and

CARNEGIE GIFT DENOUNCED,
Mayor of Cincinnati Sorry the City
Accepted a Library.

Cincinnati, Ohio.-There has been
talk OVer the fact that Mayor Dempsey
did not mention the name of Andrew
Carnegie in his speech formally accept
ing the new Walnut Hills Branch Ii
brary. The other speakers lauded
Carnegie, but the Mayor did not refer
10 him. There was some question as
to whether it was an oversight. The
Mayer stated it was not. He said:
Il purposely r%efrained from any ref
erence to Carnegie, because I wanted
to be perfectly honest in the matter.
l have nc deep admiration for a man
who has made his millions out of the
sweat and blood Of the toiling classes,
but who attemI s to atone for the op-
preston by giving away buildings, and
thus advertising himself as a philan-
thropist. The place his beneicence
should have begun was in his work
ShCD.
In fact, I am inclined to regret that
the great city of Cincinnati did not
build and pay for the branch libraries
instead OF receiving them as charity
from a man who could have no real
sympathy with q. city of which he knew
nothing, and in which he had no inter
eStS."

Florida coast, half q dozen men perch
ed on the roof of the after house Of
the waterlogged British schooner ST.
rocco, are struggling against wind
and sea to reach Cuban port, or
have perished with their almost help
less charge. The plight of the men is
due in part to the heroic devotion of
their captain, who, chose to face death
rather than abandon his ship and her
cargo Of lumber.
The Sirocco sailed from st. John,
N. B., on September 81, for Cardenas.
ALI went well until October 5. when,
off the coast of Maryland she ran
into fearful hurricane. Pounded and
battered by wind and sea the Sirocco
was thrown about like a cork. Before
the storm had abated her hull was
filled. The men we're In a sad plight
when the PARMA hove in sight. With
the aid of the provisions supplied by
the Parma, however. they expressed a
hope to be able to reach Cuba In safe
ty. The Parima's commander told the
following story:
ION October 81. at noon, we sighted
the Sirocco, flying signals of distress.
A life boat was manned and put out
for the schooner. which was water
logged. The officer in charge of the
life boat offered to take the captain
and crew off. III not desert my ship
said Captain Robbins, of the Sirocco.
DO any of you men want to leave the
shipT The seven men cried with one
voice Mo- Captain Robbins then said
that all his men and himself wanted
was little fuel for the stove. and
some provisions. For two hours the
life boat made trips to and from the
Sirocco with provisions. When this
was done. Captain Robbins thanked
us. and continued on our course. after
the crews OF both ships and the pas
sengers OF the Parma exchanged
cheers and Godspeeds."
