SUGGEST ARBITRATION
MINERS PROPOSE PLAN TO END
THE COAL STRIKE.

Having failed TO come to an agreement
among themselves in New York yesterday
afternoon, the hard coal miners of Penn
sylvania, through their representatives, pro
posed to the operators that all matters in
dispute be referred to a board of arbitration
for settlement, the tribunal TO be composed
Of the board OF Cancellation, with Judge
George Gray of Delaware or any person he
may appoint as chairman and umpire. II
the operators accept the proposition and a
convention of mine workers approves the
plan the 10000 men now idle in the an
thracite fields will return to work at once
That the operators VIII accept the miners
proposition as submitted is not generally
believed; In fact, 1t is intimated they may
fatty refuse the offer on the ground that
existing conditions are the result of arbi-
tration The employers have received the
miners latest proposal. and promise to give
President Mitchell and his men an answer
on Monday. when another meeting of the
two subcommittee will be held in New
York

Of death 1t isn't Il subject usually

these were discussing it. However ii

there Is one thing about 1t that makes
me hope there will be another life. anu
that is the opportunity shall have of
asking some of the people who have
had their heads cut off if there was any
sensation for few minutes succeeding
decapitntion. | believe now that there
Is. and that life remains long enough
for the dccapitatcd person to realize
that lie has lost his head, or, rather,
that he has lost his body. because the
head is the center OF thought, and, of
course, 1t is the body Eat is lost, not
the head. At least thSc. is the way Il
man with his head Off would be bound
TO think of it. fancy there is no pain,
because that would require some time,
md IL life exists mt all after decapita-

THE NATURAL COURSE.

Without going into tho merits OF

Already the driving of piles for the

of the greatest problems that has
