November IL, 1905, February 6, 1907,
between these dates was the brief span
of the life of the infant son of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. Il. Porter. Tuesday evening an
angel came, with noiseless fool fall, and
bore his spirit to happier land where
none say II am sick"
Though lent to this home for but few
months, this little life was the Joy of the
household.
The sorrowing family are comforted
with the assurance that, "It is well with
the child"
because thy smile was fair,
Thy lip and eye so bright,
Because thy cradle care
Was such fond delight;
Shall love, with weak embrace,
Thy Heavenward flight detain;
No, angel seek thy place
Amid yon cherub train.
This flower is tenderly placed on the
little mound at Nazareth by one to whom
unnumbered courtesies have been shown
by members of this home. G..

 District.

Pittsburg. Pa, Aug. 2.-The possi bility oi a strike, participated in by all the miners in the Pittsburg dis trict numbering 14,000 men becme ap parent here Wednesday night whet the following statement was issued by Francis Feehan, president of Dis trict No. 5, United Mine Workers oi America:
 "The district executive board of the United Mine Worker of Plttsburg has instructed me to stop all miners work. ing who are employed by the Pitts. burg Coal company in event of the com. pany not immediately fully complying with all the provisions of the wage scale agreement"
 President Feehan's authorization came after an all-day meeting of the executive board at the miners head quarters. Tn explanation President Feehan said the strike had been or dered because the Pittsburg Coal company had consistently violated the agreement with the miners and the union and that the officials of tho miners union had become tired of the promises and delays to rectify the wrongs.
 At this hour the situation looks serious Should the order to strike be given 50 mines will be closed imme. diately.

MUST CONFORM ID JAW
Chairman of House Judiciary Com. mittee Issues Statement Regard
 ing North Carolina Imbroglio.
CONDEMNS THE RECENT AGlTATlo.
The Wisconsin Congressman Declares There Has Been No Event Sincs the Civil War Which Calls for Sc Severe Condemnation Supreme Court Decision Final.

Chippewa, Falls, Wis, Aug 2.-Con gressman Jenkins, chairman of the house judiciary committee, Wednesday issued statement relative to the North Carolina railroad rate imbrog. lio. He says there has never beer any event since the civil war thai calls for so severe condemnation as the recent senseless tirade on behalf of states against the nation. He adds that it is humiliating that the matter has been compromised. and that the nation has to some extent surrendered.
 "The Civil war was the result of such agitation and we may have ear. he said.
 "To avert such calamity and pre- serve the nation we must conform to the law, obey the law and have the law enforced according to the frame work provided in the constitution"
 Judge Jenkins points out that the supreme court of the United States Is made the final judge between state and nation. Mir. Jenkins believes the executive of state should keep cool, maintain his dignity and remember we have to depend upon the judiciary of the country to save the Union.
 Ever since the Civil war" he said. other states have had similar troub- les. and did not make fools of themselves or declare war, and the questions involved were decided by the supreme court and no bad results followed.
 If all state authorities are going to usurp functions of the supreme court and judge what federal act shall be nulIified. no one can tell where it will end"
 MT Jenkins says he is opposed to weakening the powers of both state and nation and calls attention to the fact that the state has the remedy in the supreme court if the nation en. croaches upon its rights.
 "Why should state authority declare they win exercise every power at summation?" he asks. This is an unlawful attempt to oppose lawful eff forts.
 This continual talk about state au- thorities resisting federal power in armed force will sooner or later end in bloodshed. possibly in the disrup- ton of the Union"
 In concluding Mir. Jenkins says the supreme court of the United States may err. It may differ with the views of a great majority of the people, but however that may be, the consti- tuition says its decision is final and must be regarded as the supreme law of the land and that is what must govern us.
 Better live under a wrong decision than amid anarchy that must prevail in this country if each state authority is going to disregard the constitu- ton of the United States and asserts it's own power. right or wrong. in de- hance of the national power, thereby weakening and absolutely disregard ing this great government that has cost so many generations so much to make and pra9arve if 1"

Prince VI Declares That Japan's Pol icy In the Far East Is Especially Directed to Driving Out American and BritIsh--Back to Korea t Die

New York, Aug. 2.-Hoping to in duce the American government to in tervene and prevent Japan from ob taining further domination in Korea Prince Tjyong Oui Vi and Vi Sana Sul, two of Koreas delegates to The Hague, who were denied admission to the peace tribunal arrived here Thursday on the steamer Majestic.
 'I and my companions" said Prince Vi, who speaks English. represented the Korean government by the an thority of the emperor, but Japan used all her cunning to shsw that we ap peared at The Hague without author ity. We blame our treatment in Hol land entirely to the Japanese. Korea will never agree to Japanese domina. ton and while there have been nc disorders yet, unless something is done there will be serious uprising
 "We knew before we left Korea that Japan would force the emperor to ab dicate. Japan seeks to drive us from our land and destroy our kingdom. Korea has always been a peaceful na- tion. We have no guns, arms or pow. der and we expect the American peo pie in their fairness and justice tc interfere. The United States does not realize what Japan's policy is in the far east and what portends for the American people. The Japanese adopted a policy that in the end will give her complete control over com. merce and industry in the far east Japan is bitter against the United States and against Great Britain. You in America do not realize this, but fl the United States does not watch Japan closely she will force the Am. ericans and English out of the far east
 q shall try to see President Roose. welt, but when, I cannot say. It is my purpose to visit several large cities of the country to make my plea for my people, then shall return to Ko' req where death awaits me. The Japanese have passed an edict of pun. ishment against me and am officially a dead man. The Japanese may kill me but they cannot kill the cause for which am fighting. The only way Japan can dominate in Korea is to kill all my people,
 Prince Vi is dapper young man and dresses in European fashion. MT. Sul said that his fellow delegate to The Hague, ri Tjomi, was so over come when he learned that Korea would not be permitted to appear be fore The Hague tribunal that he died of broken heart

Paris. Aug. 2.-The pasha of Casa Blanca will answer with his head to the French government for the gen eral security of the city. This is the ultimatum which the French cruiser Gallee, due to reach Casa Blanca Thursday morning, is conveying.
 The French cruiser Forbin, now at the Azores, also has been ordered to proceed to Casa Blanca immediately. Action by the French government will not, for the moment, go any further than this. The Galilee has been ordered to take on board all Europeans desiring refuge
 The French newspapers generally demand that the government admins. ter lesson to the sultan. They de clare that the Maghzen, or governing board. is directly responsible for the occurrences at Casa Blanca as 1t per sisted in maintaining the present nasha there in spite of the protests of the diplomatic corps at Tangier.
 The Eclair says 1t considers that France has been caught in a trap, and that the occupation of 0udja by France has only served to fan Mus sulman fanaticism without demon strating the power of the government.
 Advices received by the foreign office here confirm the reports that five Frenchmen. two Spaniards and ona Italian were killed and their bodies thrown into the sea.

 In the meantime, while the Jews and Europeans were taking refuge on board the German ship the Mus. sulmans began to attack the laborers employed on the harbor works.
