DREDGING FOR HUSBANDS.
How London Social Gravel Is Baked for Matrimonial Nuggets
 of Value.

Dredging for husband is a develop ment of the times which causes much amusement to the observant, says Truth. A girl who occupies a good po- sition in society" and is intelligent soon discovers that the number of rich bachelors of her own standing in life is very limited, that most of them are almost captured already, and that many of them will have little to d1 with her.
 She then commences to "dredge" the bed of the social stream. Buried in the gravel of this are many rich men, tf.s sons of still obscure financiers, manu- lecturers or merchants, and careful dredging often brings some of theru to the surface. Then the connections are generally cast back into the water. and only the valuable elder son re- tained for use.
 Dredging parties" have recently bc- come the rage. An expert "dredger" spends the winter in gathering the necessary material in hotels on the continent and in other directions, and in the spring and summer gives a series of at homes to West End "cus- toner's" charging a commission on each completed transaction.
 Thus a customer" captivates 'dredged" bachelor. and becomes en- gagged to him. If his income is s10.OO0 a year. the percentage is capitalized. and the amount is paid to the "dredg- CT" on the wedding eve by the parents of the girl.
 The ''dredgers" have hitherto mostly been the divorced wives or widows of knights or baronets. but as the bus;- ness is 30 remunerative many of the best known women in London are adopting it, for it is obvious that a duchess would be able to rake the so cial" deep much more effectively than can even a lady who has made one reputation in society" by losing an other in the divorce court

be held. Pending the outcome of this meeting the anthracite miners have been called out and will not return to work until an adjustment of their de- mands has been brought about.
 It is announced from Johnstown, Pa., that thousand or more union miners will make demonstration at the mines of the Berwind- White Coal com pany at Windber today in an effort to get the nonunion miners to come into the organization. The demonstration is to consist of parade, but no trou- ble is expected. #
 President Mitchell is on his way to New York, where he will meet the coal road presidents tomorrow. His order suspending work at the mines has been generally obeyed.

THOUSANDS co OUT
Anthracite Miners Strike on
 Mitchell's Order.
SOME PLANTS WILL TRY TO OPERATE
One Hundred and Sixty Thousand Men Idle as Result of Great Ln- b0r Struggle In the Wilkes
 barre District.


 WILKEsBARRE, Pa., April 2.-One hundred and sixty thousand mine workers of the anthracite region, com prising miners, laborers, company hands and breaker boys, are on strike in this district in obedience to the sus- pension order issued by MT. Mitchell and their district presidents.
 The union officials say that all of these men will remain away from the collieries and that not a ton of coal will be mined. The local unions have appointed committees of pickets, who line the roads to the collieries to per suade any who might desire to go to work to change their minds.
 The operators state that the whole situation was up to the miners. Some of the companies have posted notices declaring that work will continue in their mines. Others, whose rules are to put up notices only when work is to be discontinued, have posted none.
 Men who report for work will be paid whether the colliery is able to work or not. The operators say that they are acting fairly and squarely to the public, that they want to mine coal and will do so under the present agree ment and that 1t is impossible to grant the average 33 per cent demanded by the mine workers unless they raise the price of coal $120 to meet the increas- ed labor cost
 It is also the policy of the operators not to irritate the mine workers if they strike by employing nonunion workers, and they are not employing armed guards to faunt their arms in the faces of the strikers as they did in 1902.
 They expect the mine workers to re- alize that preventing the mine pumps from working means that they are hurting themselves more than they are hurting the operators. If they do not prevent the mines from becoming flooded they will be unable to work them for a long time after the strike ends. If they stop the pumps, then they must bear the consequences
 At meetings of the local union the men declared their determination to remain on strike until they received further orders from President Mitchell
 The executive committee of the op- orators of the southwestern district has sent the following telegram to President Roosevelt:
 "The operators of the Southwestern Interstate Coal Operators association, embracing Missouri. Kansas, Arkansas, Texas and Indian Territory, realizing the gravity of the crisis caused by the failure of themselves and the miners to agree on a wage scale and condi- tons of labor in that field, wish to submit all questions at issue to arbi- tration before commission to be ap- pointed by the president of the United States" aF"%' .'t''
 The anthracite mine operators com- mittee will meet the, miners commit tee in New York tomorrow, and a fur ther conference on the wage scale will

Nearly Every Mine Is Idle,

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, April 2.-At midnight work ceased in nearly every mine in Indiana. District President Wellington O'Connor of the mine workers announced that already sev- eral companies had expressed their willingness to sign the 1903 scale. President Kolsem. of the operators stated that the mines willing to sign were all small concerns and not mem- bers of the operators association. There is no indication of trouble of a serious nature, but both sides express a determination to stand firm.

The Bisbee Board of Trade has in- 'stituted an aggressive campaign |asainst the existence in this city of such companies as have repudiated their obligations in the San Francisco earthquake disaster Today will find the members of that organization as sembled to take the first active step as a body toward administering an Effective Tebuke to the fire insurance companies -tha. 1ave either refused to settle on an equitable basis, or who have shown a disposition to act un- fairly with the San Francisco suffer CTS who held policies h cneiT compan- ies. Already President George Bux- ton of the board and general manager and head of the Buxton-Smith inter ests in this city, and the man who has been most active in gathering data fire insurance companies has cancelled fifteen of his policies with local agen- eies and has renewed his business with companies whose standing has remain ed undefiled by their liberal and ! square treatment of the Frisco prop ieIty owners.

vARNEY AND ANDERSEN
 ARE IN READINESS
Big Fellow Will Have Job on His Hands to Dispose cf
 Dane in. An Hour.

Sid Varney and Emil Andersen who are to meet on the mat at the Bisbee opera house on Sunday evening, have practically stopped training foe the bout and will do light work today, end ing with complete rest on Sunday
 Varney, since his defeat of Haroli, the strong man, has not allowed him. self to get out of shape and claims to be in fully as fine fettle as on the day he got away with the German. He has had Brother Bill' for his husky assistant in training for this bout
 Andersen came out with a confiden. tial statement yesterday to the effect that he did not think that Varley could throw him once in an hour, to say nothing to throwing him twice. The Dane looks to be in excellent shape. He is so much smaller than Na.ney that there is much guessing on the outcome of the event. Many figure It out that ,Andersr knows what he is about and t.ar Varney is up against tough proposition, while friends of the big fellow are confident that he will wipe the stage up with his com. paratively dimunitive opponent
 Fully as much interest centers in Sunday nights bout as has been mani. fest in any of the recent bouts, with perhaps the exception of the Varney. Herold match.

Rev. M. S. Littlefeld and the Rev. John
B. Devins. representing the New York
Presbytery, have had their names placed
on the membership roll.
This action is significant and shows
that the churches and union labor are des-
tined to work together for the upbuiding
and welfare of humanity.
The initiative was taken several months
ago by the Presbyt terrain Church when it
inaugurated a department of church and
labor, of which the Rev. Charles Stelzle
was made secretary. Since that time the
clergyman, having been union mechanic
before entering the ministry. has been rem
dering splendid service in the cause of re-
lfgion among his fellow unfonists. II was
through his efforts that in every church
OF the PreSbyt terrain denomination through
out the country, on the Sunday before La
dor day last September. the ministers spoke
on some phase of the labor question. That
Or. StelZle Is doing good work in this new
held is shown by the manner in which he
reaches the masses in the labor movement.
Each week he sends to the labor press
throughout the country articles bearing on
the relation of the church and the laboring
man. These articles are logical and well
written and show the intense interest with
which he has entered into this new field.
He discusses the question from the stand
point of the church, the employer and the
laborer, and draws the logical conclusion
that many of the labor problems can, and
will eventually, be solved by the united
forces of church and labor
