 New York, April 6.--Interest in tho labor troubles in the anthracite re- gions was overshadowed today by the differences existing between the soft coal operators who have not yet agreed to the 1903 scale and their miners.
 The offer of the soft coal operators is identical, word for word, except where the term bituminous is substi- tuted for anthracite with the one Pres ident Mitchell presented to the hard coal miners here yesterday. There was considerable spccplatton as to how the arbitration plan for another Held, He was much interested In tho news, but maintained his usual silence when asked what he. would do..
 Within an hour of the receipt of the offer from J. H. Winder. the head of the Ohio soft coal operators, he sent a reply to the effect that he had no power to act on the proposition, but would submit, it to the International Executive Board of the union at it's meeting in Indianapolis week after next. Mir. Mitchell was asked what he thought of MT. Winder's literary abil- fly and he jokingiy replied that he admired it very much.
 Leaders of the miners union who were aL u6dQQudI tCTS toQ6y olu lOt think the International Executive Board would favor the proposition A number of the board said that condi- tions in the soft coal regions are much different from those in the anthracite fields. He pointed out that many ope- rators had already signed the 1903 scale and that the number is increasing each day.
 Nothing developed in the anthracite situation today clearly to indicate what the outcome of next Mondays meeting between the sub committees of the mine owners, and the union leaders will be. There was no form al meeting of the operators. but most of them were in communication with one another. It was reported during the day that arbitration offer of the miners will be flatly refused, but 1t was denied by those in authority that a final decision had been reached.
 It has practically been settled that if the operators accept the arbf- tration offer, a call will so out at once for a convention.

The First of Them Was Established
In Paris In 1765.
For a long time inns and eating
houses in FraIce were only intended
for the benefit Of travelling people, for
the people took their meals at home
and restaurants were unknown. The
first enterprise Of the kind was found
ed in Paris in 1855. A citizen by the
name Of Boulanger opened in the Rue
des Poulies an eating house where
soup, meat, fowl and eggs were serV-
ed. a chronicler relates that meals
were served there on small, round
marble tables and everything was scru-
pulously clean.
Over the entry to this first eating
house the proprietor had hung sign,
upon which were the Latin words, "Fe-
mite ad me omnes quae stomacho labo-
rats, ct ego rSstaurabo vos' Come
unto me all ye whose stomachs need
attention, and I will restore them.
This is a parody on the well known
Biblical quotation, "Come unto me all
ye who labor and are heavy laden, and
I will give you rest" only in place Of
labor and heavy laden he said, whose
stomachs need attention" The word
"restaurabo," from the Latin "restau-
rare (restore or refresb), was the
main characteristic Of the new estab-
lishment and gave it its name. Bou-
LANCER amassed large fortune, for
his enterprise proved eminently sue
cessful, but he was soon initiates, some
of nis imitators becoming more famous
than he.

THE LIBERTY CAP.
Its Significance Dates Away Back to
Early Greek Times.

Its Significance Dates Away Back to
Early Greek Times.
From very early times one of the dis
tinguishing marks Of slave, both in
Greece and oriental countries general
", was the lack of any covering for
the head. Accordingly the cap came to
be considered the insignia of liberty,
and when slaves were given their free
dom they were presented with q cap as
an emblem Of it. In Sparta the helots
wore cap Of dogskin, and this was
reckoned a badge of servitude, but
upon gaining their freedom this was
replaced by cap Of q different ma
teriaI, of another shape and ornament
ed with flowers. y similar custom
was observed in Rome, where the pres
entation Of the pileus. or cap, was al
ways a part Of the ceremony Of manu-
hitting slave; hence arose the prov
erb, "Servos ad pileum vocare." Also
on medals the cap is the symbol Of lib
erty and is usually represented as be-
ing held in the right hand by the point.
When a cap was exposed to the peo-
pies view on the top Of a spear, as in
the case of the conspiracy against Gaze
sar, it was intended as q public inyi-
tation to them to embrace the liberty
that was offered them. The Goddess
Of Liberty on Mount Aventime was
represented as holding q cap in her
hand as a symbol Of freedom. The
Jacobins wore a red cap during the
French revolution, and In England a
blue cap with q white border is used
as a symbol Of liberty. The custom
which prevails among university stu
dents Of wearing cap is said to have
had it's origin in wish to signify that
the wearers had acquired full liberty
and were no longer subject to the rod
Of their superiors.

Child Wonder.

The French Academy Of Sciences in
1929 examined the case Of a French
lad only seven years old who, in all
respects save that of intelligence, was
the equal Of a man Of twenty. His re-
markable physical development began
when be was two years old. At four
he could do the farm work Of a boy Of
fifteen or sixteen, and at seven he was
fully grown man. Although his
physique was thus remarkably deyel-
oped, his intelligence was no greater
than that Of children Of the same age.
he died before he was twenty. AS IS
usual in such cases of premature de-
yelopment, his strength faded away,
and he became prematurely old before
other men would attain maturity.
