Moneyless Consumptives.

A general effort is being made In
various cities, it is said, to prevent the
sending of INDECENT consumptives to
distant communities, where they can
not be assured proper care. The Asso-
ciated Charities committee on the pre-
vention of consumption discussed the
matter at it's last meeting and decided
to issue letter to physicians and cit
liens of various cities, calling atten,
ton to the consequences arising from
the practice of sending poor consump-
tives to such states as Arizona. Colo
RADIO and California. 1t is declared that
difficult as it may be for poor man to
recover from tuberculosis in his own
city, he Is better off there among his
friends and relatives. where there are
more adequate hospital and dispensary
facilities, than he has far from home,
where he Is thrown entirely upon his
own resources and where the great
number of consumptives willing to
work at the lowest wages make the
finding of employment especially Of
suitable nature, almost impossible.

WINDbER Miners
ISHOT BY DEPUTIES
THREE MEN ARE KILLED WHEN
EFFORT rs MADE BY MOB TO
RESCUE PRISONERS.
Free-for-All Fight Follows Indulgence
in Liquor and Arrests of Union
Members by Officials Leads to Trag-
edy on Easter Monday.

Johnstown, Pa, April 17.-Three
men have been shot dead, boy fatally
wounded and mining engineer, Eu-
gene Delaney, taken to the hospital
in serious condition as the result OF
a riot at Windber among the striking
coal miners Monday night. Sheriff
Begley has been summoned and an ap-
peal has been made to Gov. Penny
packer for troops. There are several
others of the rioters who have sustained
slight injuries.
The dead men and most of the in
jured are foreigners.
Liquor Generates Trouble.
The foreign element had been cele-
brating Easter Monday in the mining
section and much liquor had been used.
The streets were thronged all day with
a boisterous crowd, but no sign of
trouble appeared until night. A body
of strikers were assembled in front of
the Windber Jail discussing the mass
meeting that had been held during the
afternoon, and which had been ad-
dressed by three Catholic priests. The
discussion grew into argument and
soon there was a free-for-all fight.
Deputies that had been sworn in
when the strike in the coal mines was
first inaugurated, made their appear
ance and a number of arrests were
made. All of the arrested men were
union men, and their colleagues set
up a cry that they we're being discrim-
mated against and were imposed upon.
Deputies Fire on Crowd.
The arrested men were marched to
the lookup door, but there mob had
formed and an attempt was made to
take the men from the officers.
Forced back from the Jail door, the
mob, growing more violent every min
ute, threatened the deputies until the
officers fired. The mob hesitated, ap-
parently not expecting the deputies
would resort to firearms.
Miners Return the Shots.
When the smoke had cleared away,
and the victims of the shots were
viewed by the crowd, there were cries
of anger and soon miners that were
armed returned the shots of the depu-
ties.
The fling ceased almost as soon as
it began, however, and the crowd filed
away from the Jail.
A state of terror exists because Of
the prevalence of liquor and the an
gered miners. There is much dynamite
stored here, and it is feared the strik-
ers will resort to the explosive in re-
venge.

Chicago, April 1.-THE woes of Zion

Monday declared all terms of settle
ment had been agreed upon. By the

This, the attorneys said, was proctic-
ally the terms of the settlement.

AMONG ARTISTS.

Ten eminent Japanese artists were
busy for months devising a seal for the
young crown prince of their country.
This is now put on everything he
wears or uses.
A recent exposition in Amsterdam
of 20 new paintings by Josef Israels
bore witness to the fact that this emf
nent Jewish artist, at the age of 80,
preserves the best traits of his man
hood powers.
Heinrich Vogel, well-known Ger
man portrait painter, who, however.
has not done any work for three dec
AIDES, has left his whole property, val
ued at $250,OO0, for the founding of
charitable institution for artists.
Japanese postage stamps are rated
as the most artistic in the world;
there is a great demand for them in
London at present. The first stamps
were issued in 1871. There are few
rare ones, the highest price ever
known to have been paid for one be-
ing $50.

Agree on Iowa Mine Scale.

Des Moines, Ia, April 1r.-As far as
the question of prices for labor is con-
cerned the scale to govern mining of
coal in Iowa for the two years dating
from April 1. 1906, was completed Fri
day by the joint conference. Only the
formality of figuring out advances for
the second, third and fourth subdis-
tricts remains before the question of
resolutions is taken up. All advances
were agreed to-. the miners practically
winning out There is little reason to
doubt that scale will be signed We'd

Against Americans.

Reports continue to come to the de-
partment Of state from diplomatic and
consular agents in China showing an
increase of feeling against Americans
and things American as expressed in
edicts issued by local authorities in
various parts of the empire. For
six months the situation in China has
been the subject Of concern to the
department, and Mr.. Rockhill, United
States minister at Picking, is under in
structions to keep Washington thor
oughly informed OF the developments
in the situation. While not admitting
that the situation is one of immediate
danger, the officials here will not
be at all surprised at what month
may bring forth. Although at the out
set demanding only return to the
provisions of the original exclusion
treaty of 1880, which excluded from
this country Chinese laborers, without
specifying the classes of Cinnamon
which could be admitted, in some
provinces manifestos have been issued
declaring that if the boycott is rigldly
adhered to the United States Will De
forced to forego any exclusion at all.
Although apparently directed against
Americans, the feeling of i'll will that
seems to be growing in various parts
of the empire is declared to be really
anti-foreign. Informal representations
regarding the Chinese situation al
ready have been exchanged between
some of the European powers, but thus
far this country has not called foreign
nations into consultation because there
is q very general feeling among the
European powers that the Chinese are
merely retaliating against the United
States government, and so long as the
anti-foreign feeling is confined to
Americans the Europeans will bide
their time. .-. ....

me only temporary relief. So / suf-
fered on, till one day in 1904, a woman
doctor told me to drink Postum Food
Coffee. She said l looked like I was
coffee poisoned.
$50 I began to drink Postum and
I gained Is pounds in the first few
weeks and am still gaining, but not
so fast as at first. My headache began
to leave me after l had used Postum
about two weeks-long enough L ex-
pect to get the coffee poison out or my
system.
Now that few months have
passed since I began to use Postum
Food Coffee, / can gladly say that
never know what neuralgia headache
is like any more, and it was moth

Gilbert Keith Chesterton says in his
"Heretics:" ''The artistic temperament
is disease that aff1icts amateurs. It
is a disease that arises from men not
having sufficient power of expression
to utter and get rid of the element of
art in their being. Artists of a large
and wholesome vitality get rid of their
art easily, as they breathe easily or
perspire easily. But in artists of less
force the thing becomes a pressure,
and produces definite pain, which is
called the artistic. temperament. The
great tragedy of the artistic tempera-
ment is that it cannot produce any
art"

Meeting of State Board of
Education----Text Books
Problem.

SUNDAYS State: The State
board o. education yesterday
completed the work of its session
and Adjourned until June, when
the adoption of text books will
be made. This adoption will
mean great deal for the State.
The total enrolment in the
public schools of The State last
year was, 3O2, ,663, the average
Attendance being 200, 100. If
each child studied but the 50 RS"
and had one text book tor each
branch Of study, the total num-
Der Of text books would have
been 900, 600. As a matter of
fact, nearer 1000 600 text book S
were used in the public schools
Of the State last year.
IT appears TO be the dlSp"sl-
ton Of he board 10 make as few
changes as possible III the text
books, for every change would
mean that pupils must buy new
books, whereas il the former
book adoption should be endors
ed, children could use second
hand books when such should be
available. However the board
will not let this general plan OF
conduct prevent the elimination
of any worthless or worse than
worthless text books which may
be found on the former list.
