No Cemetery For Dog.

Norristown, Pa. March g. - The
court decided that a cemetery is no
place for the burial Of animals no
matter how much they are beloved by
the owners. The case in point was that
of Charles Bean, who inferred a pet
noodle in his lot in the Lutheran cem'
etery at North Wales. and erected a
monument similar to those marking
the names of other members of the
family. and inscribed "Our Pet" For
this he was hailed into court by the

RUSSIAN PRISONS.
Suicide or Madness the Usual Fate Of
Their Victims.

Their Victims.
An Eaglishman writes in the st.
James Budget of st. Petersburg pris-
ons: "Yet more horrible than the fate
of the workers murdered in the streets
of st. Petersburg is the doom Of those
hapIess men whom the tender mercies
Of the triumphant bureaucracy have
consigned to the dark fortress Of st.
Peter and st. Paul and the inferno Of
the Schlusselburg, in Lake Ladoga.
Well may the inhabitants of st. Peters
burg ,shudder as they glance beyond
the Neva at the dark fortress whence
each hour the north wind brings across
the river the discordant sound OF its
melancholy bells-melancholy indeed,
for nothing but memories Of suffering
and oppression sits upon its granite
walls. Here Peter l. tortured and mu-
tilated his enemies. Here he slew his
own son, Alexis, and to this dungeon,
during the reigns of the expresses, ON
nipotent favorites consigned aspiring
rivals. And since then whole genera
tions Of men and women for no other
crime than love Of their oppressed
country have entered these gates, often
to leave them no more.
"a special refinement Of the Rus
sian prison system in the case of po-
litical prisoners and suspects is con-
tinued solitary confinement until, as in
the case of that splendid intellectual
refOrmer, Dimitri Passareff, they can
be reported as harmless Some pris-
oners here were relieved of their senses
quite gently and almost politely. They
were shut up in comfortable cells well
lit by electric light, ald for mental
pabulum they were supplied with only
religious and technical works. When
insanity or suicide supervened the ap-
/ pointed end had been secured. But
the doom of others presents even great
er features Of horror. Imagine n dark,
damp cell. measuring 10 by 6 feet,
beneath the level of the surrounding
waters, in which the chained man or
woman is condemned to lie in absolute
idIeness, studiOusly isolated from any
/ intercourse with human beings.
"For ten minutes every second day
the miserable wretch is allowed to see
the light and breathe the air in the pris-
uu yard. For the rest intolerable lone
illness, absolute silence. occupation of
not the smallest kind; no books, no
writing materials, no instruments Of
manual labor. Madness comes to such
gradually with the passing years. In
the majority Of cases the mind rots
slowly in the enfeebling body. Suicide
and madness are the two great weap-
ons in which Russian autocPacy puts
It's trust"

A So cal Plot2

Pittsburg. March 6.-The word has
been passed out in Pittsburg among
the independent as we'll as other coal
operators that a strike in the anthra-
cite regions has been decided on, that
II will be a forced strike and that the
bituminous operators, many OF whom
are hesitating about paying the ad-
vance demanded by the miners here
will be greatly benefited.
The assurance that the anthracite
strike is as good as on is one OF the
inducements now being held out to
the baking Independent operators.
Il is openly asserted by those in a
position to know that such action mas
been discussed by President John
Mitchell, Of the United Mine Workers,
and Chairman Francis L. Robbins OF
the Pittsblrg Coal Company.
Mitchell has been positively assured
that If a strike in the anthracite re-
qoin is guaranteed to the bituminous
operators the soft coal miners will re-
ceive an advance that will force the
anthracite operators to raise their pay
tn the miners, and that there will be
little trouble in securing a good ad-
vance in the bituminous region, not
only in territory covered by the Pitts
burg Coal Company, but by other ope-
rators. Independent and otherwise.
Just what answer Mitchell made to
this proposition is not made public,
but the fact remains that independent
operators in the Pittsburg district say
they have been assured that there will
be a strike in the anthracite region,
and that it will be a good one. Some
of the operators have changed their
minds and will vote for an advance TO
the miners here.
make the anthracite people come
no to the mark, or close their mines,
and we will deal with you. II you
don't, we may deal with you anyway
on the advance, but we will stop the
'check-off.' and you know what that
will mean"
That was the cold way in which the
proposition was handed to John Mitch
ell within the last seventy-two hours
by Robbins, or his personal represen-
tative. and It has made Mitchell think
The abolishment of the 'check-oh
by the bituminous operators, it is de-
clared, would kill the miners union.
The "check-off" is toll collected from
the miners pay envelopes bv the
operators for the United Mine Work
ers. That is how the union is kept up
All admit that. if left to the miners
themselves, the dues would not bf
paid. The threat to stop this collect
ing or holding out" from the miners
pay. has had its effect.
The object of the move is to hoost
bituminous prices and get into the
eastern markets, long controlled by
the anthracite people. as soon as theii
! mines are made idle by a strike.

The smallest Democratic state con-

sylvania. The fact that it was on
the slate to desert their own party
and go elsewhere for nominee for
governor probably caused the lack Of
interest and so disguised the party
that it thought it best to stay away.
The action taken in this will
strengthen the Republican side, AZ

among the Democrats now than
