bed them, late Saturday. Pistol shots
were fired and one man was wounded.
The miners attended a mass meet
ing in the afternoon and there were
several inflammatory speeches. The
foreigners were told that the opera
tors would grant them nothing. Plans
were Immediately made to set upon
the carpenters and rock men.
The miners did not know that the
union officials had given the carpen-
ters and rock men permission to work
under the suspension or as they We're
only sinking a shaft preparatory to
opening a new colliery. The rock men
got wind of the trouble and sent for
the town burgess, the deputy sheriff
and Paul Pulaski, vice-president of
the district union.
There Was General Fight.
When the men left the colliery they
were attacked furiously with stones
and sticks and there was a general
fight. Revolvers were fired and one of
the foreigners had his finger shot off.
The town burgess received a drubbing

CAT THAT LIVES
WITH CHICKENS.

Arthur Bennett, living on North
Seventeenth street has cat with
an unusual fondness for chickens.
In fact the liking, which this par
ticular "nine-lifer" has for the
feathered fowls is so pronounced
that it lives with them constantly,
or at least has done so for the
past year.
Mr.. Bennett also has four hens
and they are never without the
cats company, except when it
goes foraging for something 70
eat, refusing to take that which
is given to the chickens. The
cat sleeps in the hen roost. Mr..
Bennett has never taken the par
ticular pains to see whether it
roosts as its companions do, but
he has frequently seen it leaving
the hen house with the chickens
in the morning and entering with
them in the evening.

Publishers Press1

Washington, April 29.-The leading
patent attorneys of the county will
ask President Roosevelt to improve
the methods of the patent Office so
their clients may be adequately pro-
tected. There are now 20.S46 cases on
hand and the office is falling behind
at the rate of 5000 cases a year. This
is attributed to defective business
methods, red tape and old time usa-
ges. In 1901 there were $50 cases
that did not receive attention. In 1902
the number had increased to 1851,
in 1903 to 11,00O; in 1904 to 12,141; in
1906 to 16,O26 and now the number is

MIGRATION DOES
NOT PAY--LAND|S
Indiana Representative in
Congress Says the Ameri-

TELLS OF FARMER FRIEND
MAN LIVES IN WEST VIRGINIA
AND DOESN'T DO ANYTHING
BUT RAISE APPLEs-oTHER
WASHINGTON NEWS.
TELLS OF FARMER FRIEND
(By A. w. Tracy.)


= Washington, d. c. April 29.-Rep-
resentative Charles B. Lands says
that the American people are given
too much to migration from one end
of the country to the other seeking
some way to make money rapidly and
often overlook the good things at
home. He says that good money can
be made at home if the people will
but settle down to one thing and pur-
sue that everlastingly. He says that
we don't study the things we have
around us enough and holds that the
specialist is the fellow who gets
there. He holds to the theory that
people should study and cultivate at
home any one line that they may
choose.
To clinch his point he cites the
case of a farmer friend of his in West
Virginia. The man has % acres of
land and probably could not make a
living on it any other way than the
way he has chosen. He has an apple
farm and he doesn't pretend to do
anything else but raise apples. The
man studies the business thoroughly
He cultivates the crop by spraying
care of them. Then he tends to his
crop at the proper time. Mr.. Landis
asserts it as a positive fact that last
year that apple farm of 3S acres yield
ed the owner $4,000 He raised 1000
barrels of apples ana sold them for
nished by the buyers who came to
the farm and helped to pack them.
The owner was to deliver them to the
railroad station and he succeeded in
getting that done at the rate of six
cents barrel.
Mr.. Lands asserts that on another
year the owner realized $4,000 from
his apples. Where else or how in the
world can that record be beaten for
2S acres of land. Mr.. Lands says that
he doesn't believe it can be equalled
in Colorado or California.
Representative Newton w. Gilbert
has had some peculiar experiences
with his postoffice appointments up
III the twelfth district. The latest
thing to happen was the death of a
man whom he had recommended for
the office at Lagrange. The fellow
died before getting the office. This
seems strange following so closely
the unfortunate circumstances at
Kendalville, where the first appointee
failed rapidly in health after receiv-
ing the appointment and had to be
taken away to sanitariUm. An in
spector was sent there and on his or
der the unfortunate postmaster was
removed by the department on ac-
count of physical incompetency

In Lord Desborough it is believed
the English have at last found a mt
person to be ambassador to their
American cousins. His qualitica-
ciOns are given as:
A lovely wife, great riches, pack
of fox hounds, "A record as a college
oarsman, distinction in cricket,
hunting big game, fishing, and swim
ming Niagara; close friendship to
the King, surprising social graces
literary attainments of no mean
order, pronounced faith in bimetal-
lism, and the protective tariff.
And vet LORD Pauncefote, who did
more than any other English diplo-
matist to make the two nations
friends, had none of these qualifica-
tions save the first. To that he
added strong common sense and
manly diplomacy.

Inequalities in Postal Rates.

One of the interesting features in
the annual report of Postmaster
General Cortelyou is the section de-
voted TO the work of the rural free
delivery system. Figures cited in
this report furnish a rather striking
argument in favor of an adjustment
of the postal rates in the United
States, at least 10 the point Of MAX
ing it possible for parcels to be
sent from one Office to another in
this country es cheaply as they are
sent from the United States TO for
eign countries.
The figures show. for instance,
that four-Pound parcel may be
sent by mail from Washington to
Berlin, or any postoffice in Ger
many, for 40 cents. while a four
pound parcel cannot be sent from
Washington to Hyattsville by mail
for less than 81 cents. The dis
crepancy is due TO the fact that for
eign nations have been active in pro-
curing postal agreements, while
nothing has been done by our Con-
gress to better the conditions at
home.
All efforts to introduce the par
GELS post system have been bitterly
and successfully opposed. but Mr.
Cortelyou's report offers some argu-
ments in favor of a revision of the
postal rates in this respect that
will soon force consideration.
There are today, according to the
report, $4,000 rural free delivery car
riers. who make daily trips over
their routes, carrying a few pounds
of mail. The rates on parcels are
so high that patrons of the rural
routes cannot use the mails for
transportation of anything but let
ters. Germany has law which al
lows the carrying of an eleven
pound parcel in the mails for II
cents. Under our laws no parcel
larger than four pounds can be car
ried. and the postage on that is 81
cents.
The rural routes are equipped
with all the necessary facilities for
transporting parcels in any quanti-
ties. but the postal rates are simply
prohibitive. The postal departments

Unnecessarily Severe.

A bill of the greatest Importance
TO the District now pends before
the Senate ir the form of the pro-
posed Child Labor Act. BY its
terms the National Capital is res
cued from its position of extreme
discredit in permitting the employ
ment of boys and girls at almost
any occupation for any number of
hours a day. With which purpose
the whole community, and especially
The Times, will have every sym
pathy.
But the active friends of the
measure Will not serve it by making
it unnecessarily severe. Other juris-
dictions have found it not necessary
to circumscribe the out-of-doors Ia
bors of children outside OF school
hours if the occupation is not other
wise unhealthful. AS Senator Lodge
pointed out last Monday, Massachu-
setts has been able effectively 10
prevent unhealthful child labor
without prohibiting the children of
poor parents from working in the
open air during the summer and
after school hours the rest of the
year.
No such employment viii be open
TO the children of poor parents in
the District if the act now before
the Senate shall become law without
amendment. Those in charge of the
measure should see to it that it is
relieved Of this well-fOunded Objec-
tion. While every reasonable pre-
caution must be taken TO keep chill
dren out Of unhealthful surround
ings, whether moral or physical,
they should not be unnecessarily de-
prived of the opportunity to work.

he was reelected Lr. Pollard set about
sQuaring himself and tried 10 pay back
the gold. The House listened TO the
resolution in frigid silence and passed t.
Nobody made a speech. there was mol
facetious discussion. Mr.. POllards fate
is now in the hands of the judiciary

get that money back into the strong
box. AR. Pollard viii never smile again
