PIrrsBuRG DISTRICT TROUBLES
Probability of a Strike Of II, 900 Coal
Miners.

Miners.
Pittsburg, Aug. 1.-The possibility Of
strike, participated in by all the
miners in the Pittsburg district, max
ing over $4,000 men, became apparent
here when a statement was issued by
Francis Feehan, president of district
No. 5. United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, In which he says that 1.-The dis
trict executive board of the United
Mine Workers of Pittsburg has in
structed me today to STOP all miners
working who are employed by the
Pittsburg Coal company in event of
the company not Immediately fully
complying with all the provisions Of
the wage scale agreement"
President Feehan said the strike had
been ordered because the Pittsburg
Coal company had persistently violated
the agreement with the miners and
the union, and that the officials of the
miners union had become tired of the
promises and delays to rectify the
wrongs. Should the order to strike be
given fifty mines will be closed imme-
diately. The trouble over the alleged
violations of the wage agreement has
heen in progress for many months.
Officials of the Pittsburg Coal COM
pany said that the grievances Of the
miners lad never been made specific
to the company. They had tried to
get them to show wherein any failure
had been made to live up to agree.
Inents, but in every case they had
failed. Organizers had been asked to
go with the executive officials to the
mines where the violations were COM
planned of and show them any viola.
tion of agreements, but they had failed
to make Il showing.

The news of the ending of the dock
strike was flashed to Eveleth, Hibbins
and Nasliwauk, the three storm cen.

sAlD WOMEN MARRIED HIM.
Remarkable Excuse Put Forward By
French Bieamist.

At Versailles, France, recently q
baker vas tried on a charge of polyg.
amy, having married FIVE women,
who r living and undivorced. The
pentagamist's defense was that he
had not married the women; they had
married him. When they proposed
he had not the courage to say no.
Neither money nor love, he said, had
prompted his nuptials; he was the
victim OF the stronger wills of his
successive spouses. OF the five wives
three appeared as witnesses, but did
not prosecute, saying that their com
mon husband was q topper Of whom
they were glad to get rid. He was
a~cquftted-on what ground does not
appear. As all the years in which
the multiplex husband took wives
we're leap years except 1881, In which
IT would seem that In four out Of
the five cases the women had the
right to propose. But the man had
the right, " in the leap years, to
decline, and 1t was up to him at least
TO explain to his fair suitors that he
was engaged To establish the prin-
cipie that a man is not responsible
for the number of his wives unless
he himself does the counting, would
be plainly against public policy. II
'Barkis is within" that at once puts
all the responsibility on him, no
matter who managed the prelimi-
naries.

sour little girl, one year and a
half old, was taken with eczema or
that was what the doctor called 1t.
We called in the family doctor, and
he gave some tablets and said she
would be all right in a few days.
The eczema grew worse and We
called in doctor No. 2. He said she
was teething, as soon as the teeth
were through she would be all right.
But she still grew worse. Doctor
No. 3 said it was eczema. BY this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, SO we let him try it about
o week. One morning we discovered
a little yellow pimple on one Of
her eyes. or course we 'phoned for
doctor No. 8. He came over and
looked her over, and said that he
could not do anything more for
her, that we had better take her
to some eye specialist, since it was
an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to
doctor No. 4, and he said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could
help it. We thought we would try
doctor No. S. Well. that proved the
same, only he charged $40 more than
doctor No. 4. We were nearly dis
couraged. l saw one Of the Cuti-
cura advertisements in the paper and
thought we would try the Cuticura
Treatment, SO | went and purchased
q set Of Cuticura Remedies, which
cost me 81, and In three days our
daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sores had
disappeared. OF course 1t could not
restore the eyesight, but If we had
used Cuticura in time ! am confident
that 1t would have saved the eye. We
think there is no remedy so good for

Faithfulness to a Promise
There il no more striking Illus
trztIon In the Bible, we think,
d the faithful fulfiIment Of a
pledge given than this incident
of Joshua going UP to the aid Of
Giheon. Here was a people
doubly despised in the eyes Of
Joshua and the people Of Israel,
first, because they were a heath
en- people, and second, because
they had tricked Israel into a
d~istastefuI alliance. And yet,
when the cry for help came
Joshua and the people with him
hesitated not but made haste to
90 up to the defense Of the Glib
eoHites. Under a strict inter
pretaticn Of the agreement
made, Joshua was under no OBJ
legations to fight Gibeon's bat
ties, and what more natural
feeling for Joshua and the peo-
pie OF Israel, who but 4 short
time before had wanted to de-
stroy the CELEBRITIES notwith-
standing the oath Of Joshua and
the princes Of Israel, than for
them to welcome the peril which
threatened Gibeon az an easy
and fortunate escape from a
most distasteful alliance. But
no, The spirit Of the agreement
was that Gideon should dwell
with them In the land; she had
Identified herself with Israel,
and had acknowledged the su-
prcmacy Of the true God; there
fore Israel would fight for her.
Because Of the promise Joshua
and his men would face peril
and hardship. Gibeon's plea for
help should not go unheeded.
What a noble devotion to lofty
ideals.
To-day there is not the same
fine conceptions, the same faith
fulness In the fuifillment Of a
promise. The modern Joshua
MH - LW. 80.
looks for technicallties, the legal
~loophoIe which will let him slip
free from the fuifiiment Of an
obligation. He keeps the agree
ment that he cannot escape, but
. for doing more, not he. II
the Gideon who is In trouble
can show undisputed claim upon
his time and resources, then he
will 90 up to his help, but If
there Is convenient escape from
the promise given, then he will
let Gideon shift for himself.
But Joshua Of old had the d.
vine conception Of the impor-
lance and invioIability Of an
oath, and he did all and more
than that oath demanded. And
God honored such spirit Of self
sacrificing devotion by giving
Joshua power over the forces of
nature, and Iengthening the day
SO that the task undertaken
might be fully done.
