A Pittsburg man makes hens lay by
the use of electricity. We don't know
how he does it, but presumably when
the hen gets cold feet and wants to
quit the game she finds live wire In
the bottom of her nest that warns the
chilly pedal extremitles and makes her
take more cheerful view OF life.
Having made the start there is no
reason why he should not go on with
the good work until he is able to make
the biddies lay a superior grade OF
boiled eggs, either hard or soft, accord
ing to the amount of current he has
turned on.
While we wouldn't question the Pitts
burg mans originality we must say
that we have seen eggs In modest res
taurants that gave the customer a
shock as soon as he broke them open.
although the proprietor never, so far
as we know. claimed for them that
they We're produced by electricity.

Expires Saturday and Suspension of
Work Is Likely.
indianapolis, March 2S.--The joint
scale committee of the bituminous.
coal operators of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
and Western Pennsylvania during the
day reported disagreement to the
Joint conference of the Central com
petitive district and after a session
of three hours the conference ad
journed until morning without taking
definite action. The discussions and
arguments showed no change in the
situation and established the fact that
so far as indications can determine
the opposing sides are no nearer a
wage agreement than they were in
January. Inc present scale will ex-
pire Saturday and unless an agree
ment is reached before then, the 225,-
600 miners in the four states may be
called from the mines.
President Mitchell of the miners
opened the discussion In the joint con-
ference after there had been silence
of ten inmates during which each
side was waiting for the other to make
the first move. He moved that as a
babsls of settlement there be a resto-
ration OF the scale, the mining scale
and the day wage scale and the dead
work scale Of 1903.
Operators Propose a Substitute.
j. H. Winder, chairman of the opera.
tors, offered as a substitute a motion
to adopt the present scale with all
conditions existing at the time OF It's
adoption with the mining rate at Dan
vile, H., for base and to include all
cost Of shooting, loading, timbering
and inspection Of shots.
Speeches were made for the opera
tors by j. c. Kalsea and Phil Penna
of Indiana, H. N. Taylor of Illinois
and H. l.. Chapman of Ohio, all ex.
pressing the determination of the
operators of those states to oppose
an increase in wages and to refuse to
pay an advance. For the miners,
President John Mitchell, Vice Presi-
dent T. l.. Lewis, Secretary w. b. viii
son. II. c. Perry, William Green and
Wellington O'Connor expressed the de-
termination of the miners to insist up
on their demands for the restoration
of the wage scale of 1903, which is an
increase of SIS per cent.
Mr.. Phil Penna of the Indiana opera
tors In his speech suggested the settle
ment OF the differences by arbitration.
Adjournment was taken In the
midst of the discussion. No vote
was taken on any proposition during
the meeting.

NAT STRAUSS TALKS
SECRETARY OF B'NAI BIRTH
 PLEASED WITH MONTGOMERY.
From New Orleans This Famous Mem- Der ef Alabama LegisInture Ex- presses Gratincation at'Preg-
 rees of Capitol City.

Tho progress that Montgomery has made since saw it last are simply marvellous" said Nat Strauss of New Orleans, Grand Secretary of the B'nai B'rith Grand Lodge yesterday. T must confess that hardly knew the city. II had srown almost out of my reeollec- tions.
 What impresses me most is she cleanIiness of the city. it's wide streets and Is healthful surroundings Tn New Orleans we are used to dir,v streets and if is a great relief 10 ee. to a city like Montgomery I was ou. late last night with some friends ano I was impressed with the sweepers ~ work on your thoroughfares, gettinE them in .cleanly condition for the next day. We do not have that in New or- leans
 Tt was revelation to me 10 see Montgomery again. Since hao ho1 been here but once and that was Tn 1893 when the Grand Lodge of the Bnal B'rith. At that time Montgomery had also made remarkable progress put no- thing like the progress it has made m the eleven years since. It appears 70 me that you have everything that goes toward the making of a great city. Things look prosperous here as never before and the city is not exceliea m the South from any point ot view. There are larger cities but there are none better.
 T resided in Alabama more than twenty years. making my home in Mobile. I moved to New Orleans Tn 1894 and have lived there since. I love Alabama because 1t was here than started out in life. In 1871 l was eiec- ted a member of the Legislature rom Mobile serving at the same time with Judge H. T. Toulmin and Judge D, j.. Semmes of that county. who have since risen rapidly in the world. We three served in the first Democratic House after the war. Those were stirring days and I love to look back on them.
 T want to say that the Bnai Rritn convention just closed here was thu best and brainiest in the history of the organization. More new men. ana more young men were seen in the con . vention than ever before. 1 observed more intellect and more attention to the higher aims of the order than in past conventions. We got out Of the old ruts.
 Our time was not devoted to a discussion of the endowment features. Our lodge has, ceased to be an insur- ance organization. The minds of the delegates were turned purely in the direction of philanthropic work. Few conventions could boast of an aoler set of speakers,
 T fully agree with everything Mir. Strauss has said" remarked Joseph Wagner of New Orleans. The conven- tion outranked all others and Mont gomery has good reason to be proud of itself"
 The veteran members of Bnai B'rith left Montgomery last night for their homes In New Orleans.
