was evident that he would take Medals
sooner or later, and he was approached
by many institutions OF Learning and

he saw some Important Money in
s,gnt.
At last he bald the record and his
Picture was in all the barber-shop
Weeklies and he had some special
cards printed and joined the Elks.
About the time that he got into his
stride and was shooting close to the
four hundred mark he had some trou'
BILE with Governor Gessler, who was
the Loud Noise in Politics and very
Strong on account of having control of
the Meal Tickets.
William had said in an Interview
that Gessler ought to be driving 4
truck, and the Governor called in the
reporters and said that the big four
flush who had been opposing him i'll
the Eighth Precinct of the Fourth
Swiss Canton was a cheap Sport and
a phoney Marksman.
This attack angered William and his
fellow members of the Precinct Or
ganization, who got our among the
voters and roasted the Governor, and
offered to bet money on their man,
whereupon the Governor began talking
back in very large Sums, and of course
that had to lead up to Match.
William met Gessler in a wine room
to sign the Articles and they used up
a large amount of Talk.
William said he was the Champion
and would draw all the Gate Money
and he wanted Go of the Gross, win
or lose.
Gessler remarked that William had a
yellow streak about as wide as Penn
sylvania avenue, and with that the
two eminent Apostles of Sport tried
to close in and do a little bar-room
work. Ii took six walters and a cash
Ter 10 spread them. or course all this
got into the Public Prints and helped
TO arouse terrific interest in the pro-
posed event.
Every one understood, of course,
that Gessler and William would finally
get together and pull off the big Show,
but not until they had touched off all
the preliminary Press Stuff.
So William came ont every day and
said that Gessler was soiled Deuce
and Tin-Horn and a 40 cent Make
Believe and bettle-browed Flush, and
as crooked as dogs hind leg.
Next day. after one of these Roasts,
the celebrated Politician and Sporting
Man would come back by saying that

for The Term of Ills Natural Life
BY MARCUS CLART<E


Cheshire, as Frere and Bates, in ODE
dience to orders, began to pull the Jolly
boat toward the shore; and in this fash
ion was the dismal little party conveyed
to the mainland.
1t was night when they reached it.
but the clear sky began to thrill with
late moon as yet unarisen, and the
waves, breaking gently upon the beach,
glimmered with a radiance born of their
own motion. Frere and Bates jumping
ashore, helped out Mrs. Vickers, Syl-
via and the wounded Grimes. This be-
ing done under the muzzles of the mus
kets, Rex commanded that Bates and
Frere should push the jolly boat as far
as they could from the shore, and Riley
catching her by boat hook as she came
toward them, she was taken in tow.
Now, boys" says Cheshire, with a
savage delight, three cheers for old

Upon which a great shout went up,

COAL STRIKE Miners and Owners
 Near a Crisis. ALMOST ULTIMATUM President Mitchell Informed of
 What the Stand of the
 Mine Owners Will D.

New York, Feb 9.-The clerical staff in most of the offices of the an thracite coal carrying companies work ed overtime yesterday in preparation for the coming conference with Presi- dent Mitchell of the United Mine Workers. All the coal presidents have replied to AIitchell's request for con ference agreeing to meet him Febru- ary h. President David Wilcox of the Delaware X Hudson Co. sent q letter yesterday expressing his views as to the stand the coal presidents will probably take.
 In his letter Mir Wilcox points out that the anthracite miners are receiy- ing more than the soft coal miners in wages. He says that his personal opinion is that the operators cannot go beyond the award of the anthracite strike commission. which gave liberal terms to the miners. The eight hour wOrkday cannot be conceded. and the present demands are looked upon as impossible. If they were granted. tn. price of anthracite would have to be increased. he says.
 "The letter was not in the nature of an ultimatum,' said MT Wilcox last night, "and it is an individual letter only expressing my own views. sent personally 10 Mitchell. in order that he may know where we stand What the outcome of the conference will be would not predict. We take it Tor granted that the officers of the union are not looking for a strike"
 The officers of the Civic Fe1eratlom took the stand yesterday that the min CTS are q long way from a strike. No appeal has yet been made to the Civic Federation to use it's offices as media, tors. Ralph NJ. Easiey, chairman of the national executive committee of the Civic Federation, said last even ing:
 "NIattcrs have not reached tho stage where arbitration could he called for. Both the anthracite and bituininous miners are represented in the Civic Federation Among the anthracite men in the Civic Federation is F. D. Underwood. president of the Erie rail road. Francis L. Robbins of Puts burg may he said to represent the sort coal interests. There seems to he misleading impression ihat because the soft coal miners convention mas adiourned without any agreement De ing reached. there may be q strike at any time. There will he no strike m any case until April |.
