Motherhood Woman's Business.

The accumulated force of all nature
for all time is not to be baked by eX-
preston in this eliminating species
Motherhood-if anything-is woman's
business. That business has been for
ever interfered with by man-made
world; by warfare and shipwreck, by
accident and injustice, by vice and ex-
cesses without end-all on the fathers
side
While drink and war and crime kill
thousands and hundreds of thousands,
while our railroads alone destroy more
men each year than many a battlefield,
it does seem somwhat absurd to turn
about and cry to patient motherhood
for more children. Napoleon was frank
and consistent, saying women were
only to be valued for their number Of
children-he called them cannon
food" A little less cannon food may
tend to reduce the appetite for cannon.
Moreover if there are any women SO
ignorant, shallow, and unnaturally sell
fish as to deliberately forego mother
hood-then we are we'll rid of her

OPERATORS AND MINERS NEAR
LY READY TO MEET.
CONFERENCE TOGOSLOWLY
Employers Will Take Adjournment for
Consideration of Proposals of
Unions, Which Are Expected to Be
Put Forward at the First Session
Mitchell Remains Silent.

New York, Feb 14.-Anthracite
NINE operators, including the presi-
dents of the cOal-carrying railroads
and several independent operators,
came to a general agreement yester,
day as to the policy they will pursue
at the conference Thursday between
themselves and representatives OF the
united mine workers. 1t is expected
that the miners committee will put
forward their demands at the first
meeting. The intention Of the opera
tors is then to adjourn in order to take
time to consider their reply. The
president of one road said to the AS
ISOLATED Press yesterday that while
the operators knew their position they
will not reply hastily, but give due
consideration to the unions demands
Miners Make Up Terms.
Inc special scale committee OF an,
thracite mine workers, numbering Sc
men, last night held it's first meetin,.
since coming to New York, at which
it took up the demands to be present
ed to the operators at the conference
tomorrow. The subcommittee which
has had charge of getting the griev,
anceS in shape for formal preSenta-
ton to the employers held an all day
session, but was unable to complete
its work. In order to save time it was
decided to call the full committee to-
gether to formally go over the work
that has been completed, leaving
little to be disposed of today PreSl-
dent Mitchell and other members or
the committee remain silent as to the
exact nature of the demands to be
made. 1t is understood, however, that
the miners will put up a strong fight
for a change in the methods of the
board of Cancellation. The mine work,
ers are dissatisfied with the present
method of settling difficulties and say
there will always be friction until a
better method of settling disputes is
found. There is a growing belief that
If the operators will be liberal in
granting concessions to the miners
the demand for recognition of the
union may not be pressed.
Strike precautions are being taken
as follows:
Storing of 100000 tons of coal by
operators.
Diviulng of mining districts into sec
tons and assigning of Pennsylvania
mounted constabulary to patrol them
Erection of stockades. around col
leries.
Miners strike fund now $4,000 900
By April 1, $6,00O000
Number of persons dependent on
mining for bread who would be affect
ed by strike on April 1, 100000.
Estimate Of coal to be mined before
April /, 10000 900 to 5000 900 tons.
