New Every Morning.

Every day is a fresh beginning,
Every morn is the world made new,
You who are weary of sorrow and sim
ming,
Here is beautiful hope for you
A hope for me and hope for you.
: All the past things are past and over,
The tasks are done and the tears are
shed,
Yesterdays errors, let yesterday cover,
Yesterdays wounds which smarted
and bled,
Are healed with the healing which
night has shed.
yesterday now is part of forever,
Bound up in a sheaf which God holds
tight
With glad days and sad days and bad
days, which never
Shall visit us more with their bloom
and their blight
Every day is fresh beginning,
Listen, my soul, to the glad refrain,
And spite of old sorrow and older sin
ming,
And struggles forecasted, and possible
pain,
Take heart with the day and begin

NOTHING To
ARBITRATE
Is Reply of Anthracite
Operators to
Miners.
PRINCIPLES SETTLED
However, Way is Left Open for
Unions to Make New
Offer.

New York. April 1S.-SubcOmmittees
of the anthracite coal carrying rail
roads and mine operators drew up 4
letter to President Mitchell in which
nothing to arbitrate except the ques-
ton whether there shall be any arbi
tration. This reply is made in response
to Mitchelrs recent amended PROPOSE
ton for arbitration.
Not Point Blank.
The operators do not, however. refuse
point blank to accept Mftchell's latest
plan. They assert all the differences
between the miners and employers
were decided by the strike commits
sion. and there is no reason why an
other attempt should be made to arbi-
trate them. After describing the pre-
vious steps of the two sides and COM
menting upon the plans suggested by
the miners, the operators, aver that the
miners have rejected all their PROPOSE
tions and that they have nothing fur
ther to offer
Principles Settled.
'The fundamental principles regard
ing the conduct of this business have
all been established by the strike COM
mission" the operators declare. mo
reason is suggested why they should
be retired. We have no further sug-
gestions to make than those contained
in our former propositions, and we re-
gret that you have declined both of
them. We have nothing further TO
Offer" The operators assert the min
ers' offer to waive the formal recogni-
ton of the miners union is not ma
terial and declare the miners program
would increase the cost of domestic
sizes of coal by s1.2O ton.

and most exciting game of the worlds
