Operators Are Waycring.

Pittsbu-g, Pa. Feb 2G.--The Dis
patch says that the coal operators of
the bituminous fields have presented
a proposition to the miners restor-
ing the scale of 10000. This will

Doleful Punishment OF the Ancients
Duplicated In Our Modern Life.

The Romans used to punish a MUIR
derer by claiming to his body the
corpse of his victim. Wherever he
went he dragged behind him the de-
brls of his crime, the sleazy cadaver,
revolving thing that was once a man.
Every day you see people dragging
around with them the corpse of their
sins. They can't get away from
them. And many of them have be-
come so intimate with these corpses
that they become corpses themselves.
The misery of these poor unfortu-
mates has become constitutional with
them. II fits them like an old shoe.
They have become accustomed to it.
And there are thousands of hui
mans who are walking the earth to-
day with corpses attached to them,-
dyspeptic stomachs they can't get rid
Of They have to get along the best
they can with the stomachs they
have. And the owners of said dys-
peptic stomachs are to be found in
every walk of life, suffering from
some form of digestion, first cousin
to dyspepsia.
They wear that forlorn appear
ance, their energy is at zero, nothing
interests them. and they Interest no
one, their faces are shrunk, their
nerves are wllted and their shoulders
sag. Are you one of the myriads
who dandle and crafty their palates
at the sacrifice of their stomachs?

were found to be in the way. Dis
patches from the metropolis say that
the supervisor of the harbor of New
York called on Admiral Evans and
served formal notice on him that
the ships were taking up too much
room in the river, and were seriously
interfering with navigation. While it
was admitted on the United States
vessels that they were well out in the
usual channel taken by steamers, they
could not anchor further inshore on
account of the shallowness of the
water.
There is probably no place in the
world where the great white and buff
ships of the American navy show off
to better advantage than in the North
River. The dozen warriors strung a.
long at anchor at intervals of about
400 yards stretching from the foot of

the New York port they were given
berths in the North River and only
few weeks ago the Paul Jones French

York people could not be inhospitable
to these fleets on account of the inter-
national aspects of things, but when
the American ships arrived, waiting
their turn to go to the repair docks,
they were ordered to move away and
give the tug boats and scows engaged
in the Hudson River trade a chance to
pass.
During the short stay of the fleet in
New York the battleship Illinois in

in authority seemed to know just how
or when it got there, but nevertheless
the Standard Oil Company had been
pumping thousands of gallons into
New York City through it every day
for years. When the Illinois fouled the
pipe line the officers on board the ship
could not imagine what the anchor
had taken hold of until the surface of
the river became shining mass,
bright with the hues of petroleum.

famous in their day that they were
frequently purchased at large prices

had four sons, who also became
artists. His eldest son, Charles Doyle,
was the father of the novelist, and
another son was Richard Doyle, who

Conan Doyle's education began in
England, where already in his tenth
year he exhibited a wonderful pre-
cocity for telling stories. But even at
the early age of six the future novelist
and creator of Sherlock Holmes was
anticipated in a story of terrible adj

foolscap paper, four words to the line,
and accompanied with original PEN
