FEARS COAL STRIKE
OPERATORS REJECT ALL PROP0.
SITIDNS OF The MINERS.
Coal Barons Claim If They Raise
Wages They VIII Have to Raise
Price of Coal and They Claim the
People Cannot Afford the Raise at
This Time.

The propositions of lie United Mine
workers of America for REIMBURSEMENT
of wages and conditions in the an
thracite coal fields, as whole have
been rejected by the operators. AS
counter proposition the operators sug-
gest that TIE awards made by the an
thracite coal strikes commission, the
principles upon which they are estab-
lished by the commission and the
methods established for carrying out
their findings and awards, shall be con-
tinued for further term of three years
from the LIST day of April, ISU6. The
present agreement terminates March
81 of this year.
Announcement of the anthracite op-
orators decision and their counter
proposition was made in a long formal
statement which was given out for pup
location. This statement which in
cludes the correspondence on the sub
jects at issue between President John
Mitchell o. the United MinewOrkers,
acting for the miners, and George +.
Baer, president of the Philadelphia Il
Reading Coal & Iron company, for the
operators, discusses the miners propo-
sitions in detail. In every instance the
contention is made by the operators
either that conditions in the coalfields
do not warrant the change proposed
by the miners, or that the questions at
issue already have been passed upon
by the strike comraission.
Cannot Increase Wages.
I'VE can not increase wages with
out advancing the price of coal and we
are not willing to advance the price
of COAL is the reply to the demand
| for a general increase in wages.
In conclusion, the statement says
ut has been our hope, and we trust
the public expectation as well, that
the effect of the exhaustive investiga
ton and findings of the distinguished
citizens who constituted the anthracite
strike commission would be to estab
lish just and permanent adjustment
of the relations between the operators
and their employees, Therefore, we re
ject the suggestion that an entirely
. new and untried system should be
made which is only to last one year.
1T is not to The interest of the EN-
ployers and employees, nor of the pub
lie, to have the mining business as
well as the general business and com
fort of the people seriously disturbed
} by these yearly contentious.
Neither the public nor the opera
tors can stand these progressive anC
, enormous increases in the cost of the
i production of anthracite coal, followed
necessarily by corresponding increase
in the price.
ut is peculiarly fortunate, there
fore that existing conditions have al
been the result of arbitration by thirt
persons; that neither party can sa.
, that it has not had due consideration
!, There can be no doubt that the goot
| of all concerned will be served bes
by adhering to the results thu
reached"

The Times Union "short Talks" man
makes q good point in the following
paragraph, which It will always be well
to remember. Let every reader re-
member and act upon It;
If w. w. Wilder had been locked up
at Perry, instead Of being taken home,
he would not have taken 1t into his
drunken head to try TO shoot his bene-
factor; or, at least, would have been
sober enough when released to relin-
quish any such purpose. Consequently,
ne would not have been killed by the
friend he tried 20 murder. As a gen.
eral thing kindness 70 q drunken man
is thrown away. Pick a drunken man
up on the street and carry him home,
and in nine cases out Of ten you will get
a tonRue-lashing from his wife or other
irate relative, who will charge you with
getting him drunk. oblivious Of the fact
that you may be perfectly sober your
self.

Honesty Public Equal
CITY COUNCIL MKETING.
RsSulAr Meeting Cor Meath and Basil
ness TsAnsaeted.


One Of the most important things be-
fore the council Thursday night was the
question OF corporate limits extension.
mended that the city Of Tallahassee be
made to embrace three-fouFths Of 9
mile more on the east, and one-tourth
OF 4 mile on the other three sides. The
impracticability Of the project was
pointed out to be that the people imme.
diately adjacent to the city would never
submit 20 paying city taxes, although
they enjoyed all the benefits Of the city,
and that IN an election for this purpose
two-thirds Of the voters of both town
and adjacent country must be present
and q majority Of these In each case
must favor expansion. It was also
cited that the number Of towns IN the
State having extended corporate limits
by an election could be counted on the
thumbs, and that the final resort would
be to the Legislature. A committee,
of Spiller, Lowry and Edmondson, was
appointed to investigate and find out
the sentiments Of the voters In the con-
tiguous territory,
The Street COMMITTEES reported that
In accordance with an ordinance Mr.. n.
H. Afford had put down brick side
walk in front of HE property on Park
avenue, and that as soon as the grades
were furnished the library would do
likewise.
Il was recommended that the city buy
a two.mule scrape for sixty dollars, and
hire two more hands for thirty days,
and that Mr.. Lowry, chairman Of the
Street Committee, be empowered 10
sell, for what he could get, the large
six-mule scrape. The house voted faV-
orable on the recommendation.
This committee was authorized 70 be-
gin at once the grading OF Clinton
street.
The next question of Importance was
the municipal ownership of water
works. The contract of the city with
the Water Works Company expires IN
two and q half years, and II would not
be good policy TO wait until then to dis
cuss the question at issue, for the city
would then be powerless 70 act, The
Committee on Finances reported that
the water works had been offered at
$S5, 600 70 the city, but that the COM
spany was informed that the price was
too high. Contractors had stated 70
some Of the Council that Tor $40, 200 a
system OF water works could be put in
that would be superior TO the one we
now have.
The matter was turned over to Mr..
Saxon, the Committee on Finances, to
develop II further
The next thing discussed was the city
opera house. It was denounced by &C.
ciamation as a fire-trap and disgrace.
After some talk and discussion, COM
mittee was appointed TO confer with the
owners as to making other exits.

FLIES AND MOsQUIroEs.
A New Orleans Expsrt SAsws the Way
70 BS CenSeFtahls.

Now that summer and mosquitoes are
upon US, Il II Interesting 70 read and
gloat over schemes for destroying the
winged tormentors and disease-carriers
by the thousand. Among the most eff
ficient and least troublesome cullicides
70 the one devised by Prof, Minis, OF
New Orleans, which consists Of q mix
ture Of carbolic acid and camphor, va
porized with the heat Of q lamp. The
doors and windows of q room troubled
with mosquitoes or flies are 20 be closed
and the mixture evaporated, when, after
an interval Of twenty minutes, the room
may be entered with safety. The floor
will be covered with the dead insects.
II one window Is left with the shade
up, while others are drawn down, the
mosquitoes will be found on the floor
under the lighted window.
The carbolic acid crystals and cam.
phor are mixed in equal weights and
placed in an ordinary granite wash
basin TO be evaporated. An alcohol
lamp gives the heat, being surrounded
by piece Of stove pipe 8 inches high
and inches IN diameter. Near the top
end Of the pipe one-fourth-inch holes
are punched, and near the bottom
pieces are cut out 10 admit air The
lamp for safety Is set in tin pan, con-
tanning one-haif-inch Of water. AS the
camphor may catch fire spontaneously
Il incautiously heated, some supervision
10 necessary 20 prevent overheating.
The evaporation takes but twenty
minutes and is effective. Sulphur acts
az quickly, but its fumes last longer
and injure fabrics. Pyrethrum costs
more and must be burned two hours.
Eight ounces OF the culicide Is the
maximum quantity TO use at one time,
being sufficient 70 clear q room Of 1900
cubic feet capacity. The method may
be troublesome, but the harvest Of flies
and mosquitoes swept up after the job
Is completed amply compensates for all
the labor.

3 A Drainage Expert In the Kissim-
NEE Valley Gazette thus makes novel
suggestion 70 Governor Broward:
TAI the people Of Florida and many
others living here and there on the globe
have been watching with the keenest
interest the outcome Of Governor Brow
ards great Everglades drainage scheme
His first attempt has been declared i'm
practicable by the courts, and now he
and his bunch OF advisers are searching
the woods Tor another way. To their
limited gray matter there is only one
way Of drainage. Most any farmer can
suggest another way, and know two
ways which wish 70 propose that will
relieve the State of the expense of con-
structinR expensive steam dredges and
the moving Of millions of cubic yards Of
earth. The first l will call the absorp-
ton method. l got this idea from a
practical farmer named Chris Mailing,
from New Zealand. He farms much
land, the same kind the Governor is
thinking of draining. Chris says the alb
sorption method never fails to drain his
potato patch. Their why should it fail
TO drain Napoleon's patch? Chris says
when the muck becomes too damp for
the proper growth Of potatoes, he
ceases cultivation, allows the immense
weeds peculiar TO muck soil to grow and
they absorb the surplus moisture. My
favorite method, however, is the pump
snake plan, believing it is quicker and
more reliable. Captain Menge, OF Ever
glades fame, discovered a peculiar snake
on one of his trips into the Everglades
This snake is perfectly harmless, enjoys
the companionship of man, resembles a
two-inch hose and is often ten feet long
Their popularity is taking water in at
their tails and ejectipg 1t from their
mouths with considerable force. Capt
ain Menge captured number Of these
snakes and named them the pump
snake" With them he raised large col
ony Of pump snakes and had very little
trouble, il any, training them TO swallow
each others tails and forming, as 1t
were, line Of pump snakes hose and
used them successfully in irrsgating his
farm and orange grove at Fl. Thomson
and on one occasion these wondert
trained snakes prevented his home from
burning. Now why not the Governor
breed thousands Of pump snakes. The
length Of hose depends entirely upon the
number of snake. He could have i'm
mense lines of snake hose stretching
from the Everglades over its rock mar
gins, constantly drawing water from
the aides and ejectlng it into the sea.
The pump snakes Till feed itself, is abb
solutely above grating and will never
wear out, needing no experts to direct
their work, and would remove the wa
ter from the Everglades long before his
present system would be ready to COM
mence operations.
