An Irishman who had just
united with the Catholic Church

enough to let the priest catch
him coming out OF saloon with
a jug under his arm. The priest
waited for him to come by and
said:
"Pat, what is it you nave in

"Whiskey, sor," answered Pat

Senator Tillman Recon-
mends Dispensary System
for Washington.

Washington special in the News
and Courier:
In sixty minute speech here
Tonight before an audience OF
about 1 500 people, which had
gathered to hear him speak on
prohibition in the District of
Columbia, Senator Tillman
strongly advocated the abolish
ment of 700 or more saloons now
licensed here and the substitu-
ton of dispensary system SIM
liar to that in operation in many
of the counties in South Carolina
al this time.
A large part of Senator Till
mans speech was taken up in
reviewing the situation In South
Carolina from 1898, the time
when the State dispensary law
went into effect, until last year
when by legislative enactment it
went out of existence.
He said that at the election
held at the beginning of his sec
ord term as Governor of South
Carolina $4,000 people voted for
prohibition and that at least 25,-
600 or 80, 900 did not vote on the
question at all, and that as he
did not consider that a fair show
o. strength on the question he
had the Legislature pass the dis
pensary law. This law he upheld
in all of its details until just be-
before it was abolished, when
the people sent "lying and dis.
honest representatives 20 the Leg
islature and the administration of
the dispensary's affairs became
full of dishonesty and misman-
agement."
Senator Tillman paid his re
spects to the newspapers of the
State, the druggists, some OF the
preachers and TO those who had
opposed the est abllshment of the
dispensary, and who fought for lis
death, in characteristic Ian,
guage.

! Pitsburg Pa, Jan, 20.--In the Ia,.
idnet hall Of the magnificent Union
club, John H. Jones, president az
the pittsburg Buffalo Coal company
gave a most remarkable. dinner ri
night Il was to the men e1nploysa
m mis- mines-inen who earn their lIg.
ing digging cut coal down id the
bowels OF the earth. There were l59
guests present. Of whom 100 were
coal diggers. The others were nif
bosses, fire bosses. foremers ana gsss
perintendents. In addition, all OF the
Officers of the coal company. the aer.
ond largest IN the world. attended.
The miners came dressed III their
sunday clothes which appeared In
marked contrast to the palatial ban.
quet hall Of the club which was found.
ed BY Fl. G. Erick, and frequented hy
none except men who can write
check sfor millions.
The miners smoked their mines Al
they entered and preferred them at
the close of the banquet to the costly
cigars that went with the dinner. l,ut
in snite of OF their rough clothes. NOT
Icnessof Them seemed embarrassed.
They made speeches. and geosi ones,
hoo.
The dinner was given by Mr.. Jones
that he might have heartto-heart
talk with his men. Some time ago
law was passed by the Pennsylvania
state Legislature to the effect that
!smokeless powder must be used In the
mines after February /. Because
snlokeless powder makes. no lash. IL
lis less dangerous. and 1t is believed.
Twill reduce the number of raina dis.
asters fully 60 per cent. The miner
has to furnish his own powder and
snokeless powder &C SITS a few cents
more pound than common black
powder. There have been mutterings
against the new order, and III several
instances the miners have threatened
to strike II the law is enforced. The
miners notional convention meets In
indianapolis this week and the sub
iect will come up for discussion there.
This was the principal topic OF dis.
cussion at the banquet tonight. At
first the miners could only see tha.
the powder was to cost them few
cents more pound.
This law is going to be enforced"
declared Mr.. Jones. You men have
got TO look further than the end OF
your noses. We don't want to kill
YOU In these mine horrors and you
have got to help us to protect your
selves Some OF the miners have de-
clared that they will strike rather
than use smokeless powder, But they
won't. | think you have too mucn
sense to oppose anything that is being
done for your own good"
And the miners. smoking their
pipes, yelled their approval
