Scrutinlke the Maxims.

y busy clergyman declared recently
that the way he got through his work
was by violating most of the precepts
he had been taught in boyhood, fore
most among them, IF you want any
thing done, do it yourself" The house
keeper may take leaf from his book.
For example, the task which she turns
over to her daughter lightens her own
hands and trains those OF the little
maiden The most fatal precept for
mother to observe is. Whatever is
worth doing at all, is worth doing well"
that is if well is interpreted to

Is place for her to use that Judgment
which comes so high in the markets of

cheap in the home. ''As we'll as posi-

is making an apple pie or boiling a po-

house from attic to cellar every day as
well as she can do it lacks a sense of
proportion. So does she who darns a
pair of 25-cent stockings a half-hour a

saved is penny earned" is another
dangerous maxim, declares the Youths
Companion, unless it is administered
with discretion. Cheap milk may in
volve large doctors bills. Cheap eggs
may mean an uneatable pudding. A
low wage in the kitchen may carry
with it waste far beyond it's saving.

CONSTABLES AND
MINERS IN A RIOT
CROWD OF MINERS ATTEMPTED
TO RESCUE COMRADE WHO
HAD BEEN ARRESTED.
ONE KILLEDAND ONE WOUNDED
Miners Refused to Go 10 Work Under
New Scale of Wages and Are
Said to Have Made Threats
Against Company.

Pittsburg, Pa.-One man was killed
and another probably fatally in
jured yesterday afternoon in a riot
between a crowd of miners formerly
employed at the Harwick mines of the
Allegheny Coal Co. at Cheswick, Pa,
near here, and two deputy constables
at that place. The dead man is
Michael Strenyard, aged 20 years.
Norwalk Bulterge, aged "a years, has
two bullets in his back and was re-
moved to the Allegheny general hos
pital here where his recovery is said
to be doubtful.
The trouble started when the crowd
of miners attempted to rescue COM
rade who had been arrested. The
coal company posted a notice several
days ago that q readiustment of
wages would go into effect yesterday
The miners refused to work under the
new scale and, it is said, threats were
made against the company. One of
the alleged strikers. Milo Zolovitch
was arrested yesterday by Constable
Shaner. The constable turned the
man over to Deputies Albert Holland
and L. c. Blair to take him to the
squire's Office.
The deputies and their prisoner had
proceeded but a short distance when
the crowd of miners who had gath
cred, numbering over a score, at
tempted to take Zolovitch from the
officers. The crowd surged around
the two men and their prisoner and
it is said that Strenyard drew re-
volver and began firing at the officers.
Holland then pulled his weapon and
returned the fire, Strenyard being al
most instantly killed. Blair also drew
revolver and began firing. Bulterge
was hit twice and when the foreigners
saw him fall they rapidly dispersed.
In the melee Zolovitch escaped. Hol-
land was placed in custody and held
in $4,000 bail under a technical
charge.

CELEBRATED EIGHT-HOUR DAY
dining Operations Generally Sus-

Soft Coal Districts.

Philadelphia, Pa. - Mining opera
ations were suspended yesterday
throughout the hard coal districts of
Pennsylvania because the mine work
ers were celebrating the anniversary
of the granting of the eight-hour work
day in the soft coal regions of the
state. Although the operators had
expressed a desire to work and in
some instances the colliery whistles
were blown as usual but few workers
reported and no attempt at mining
was made.

BEAT OUT THE STEEL TRUST
independent Steel Concerns Buy too,-
600 Acres of Pittsburg Coking
Coal for $5o,ooo,ooo.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Beating the United
States Steel corporation, which it
is said, had been intending to
secure the property, deal was closed
yesterday by independent steel con-
Germs for 100000 acres of the Pitts
burg coking coal, lying in Greene,
Fayette and Washington counties, Pa,
at a cost price of $50,000000. The
property purchased, and on which the
first payment was made yesterday to
representatives of the owner, was
held by j. V. Thompson, of Union
town, Pa, and his associates.
The sale was made to a holding
company, representing, it is said,
every important Independent steel
company in the country except Jones
& Laughlin of Pittsburg, who are
said not to be interested in the deal.
Charles NJ. Schwab is said to be at
the head of the new concern.
All the coal in the purchase made
yesterday belongs to the Pittsburg
vein and averages nine feet in thick
ness.

Mr.. Taft was elected in preference

advisers whom even the former and
future candidate acknowledges are
also conservative, he has taken the
first step toward proving he is worthy
of the trust.

DUNS WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
Stimulating Effect of Spring Weather
Shown in Reports From Nearly
All the Principal Cities.

New York City.-R. G. Dun & Co. S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
The stimulating effect of fine spring
weather is shown in the reports from
nearly all the principal cities. Some
progress is making toward better
things in iron and steel, although
conditions as a whole remain very
unsettled. The continued uncertainty
as to prices in some finished lines is
the chief drawback, widely circulated
reports of further price cutting hav-
ing depressing effect. The best fea-
ture is in the structural division, the
low prices named resulting III = heavy
Improvement while orders pending ag-
gregate a substantial volume.
In the primary cotton goods market
manufacturers are disposed to refuse
contracts for future shipment, indica-
tions pointing to higher rather than
recession in prices. The eastern
boot and shoe market is quiet, whole
salers as a rule limiting the volume
of new orders, but trade shows a
slight increase over the volume Of
business effected during the past six
or eight weeks. The market for hides
is fairly well maintained although the
demand is only moderate

CUBAN REBELS FOUND GUILTY
Penalty of Death Imposed on Seret.
Cortes and His Son-CorporaI
Ricardo Acquitted.

Havana, Cuba.-The decision of
the court martial which tried Sergt.
Cortes and his son, Vicente, on a
charge of military rebellion and Cor
poral Ricardo on charge of conspir-
acy, in connection with the recent rev.
olutionary uprising at Vueltas was an
nounced yesterday. Sergt. Cortes and
his son were found guilty and the pen
atty imposed was death. Ricardo was
acquitted of the charge brought
against him.
The findings of the court martial
were approved by Gen. .Monteagudo,
commanding the Rural guards, but ow-
ing to the fact that the court was un-
able to take cognizance of extenuating
circumstances it is probable that the
death penalty will be remitted.

THE TAFT TARIFF PROGRAMME.
President Would Put End to I'ncer.
tanty and Uneasiness.

The Taft tariff programme is an
eminently sensible one. The president
has said: Il am hopeful that there
will be im0ortant revisious In the eX-
listing schedules made by the con
gress in this extra session, and | look
forward to June l as the date when
most of these changes will become eff.
fective"
Already there has been much prepa-
ration for the work in the tariff hear
ings at Washington, and it is OF the
utmost Importance that it should not
be dragged along indefinitely. For
business necessarily must wait for the
change, and as long as the waiting
continues there will be uncertainty
and uneasiness. Congress should feel
that it is under the most binding obli-
cations to put an end to this period
as early as is compatible with thor
oughness, and that means that con-
gress should get down to hard work
and make every hour count.
AS regards permanent commission
President Taft says that he should be
the last to advocate such board with
any power to fix rates, and his idea
is that the revision that Is now de-
manded cannot be held back for the
appointment of a commission But he
believes that a commission should be
established which in the future, az
the need arises, may furnish congress
with the evidence upon which it may
act from time to time.
That is an idea that is gaining
ground in all parts of the country, and
it seems likely to prevail. Nor is it
surprising that after our experience
with the hit-or-miss method there is
coming to be a very general feeling
that the collection of facts should be
systematiZed by experts 50 that the
conditions at any particular time may
be perfectly understood. The strange
thing is rather that we have delayed
so long with business that has stead
lily demanded our attention. Our
boasted efficiency has come to naught
while foreign governments have been
setting good examples for our instruc
ton. This is the condition that con
fronts us to-day, and we should be
very stupid if we did not now learn
our lesson, and act accordtEgly.-C

NOW LOOK TO CONGRESS.
People Want Businesslike Action on
Public Questions.

President Tafts inaugural address
anticipated his tariff message, which
recurs to the points that were empha-
sized in the former document. His
suggestions have received the ap-
proval OF the country, and there can
be no doubt that they deserve the ap-
proval of congress.
The need of a change is no clearer
than the need of expedition. We do
not mean by expedition the haste that
makes waste, but a businesslilie
promptness. All the producing, COM
mercial and financial interests of the
country know that there is to be re-
vision of some sort, and industry will
be checked until the new schedules
are adopted. The government is great
ly interested because the revenues
are urgently demanded. If due and
thorough consideration" degenerates
into mere dawdling and pickering that
kills time and prevents action the gov
ernment and business must both suf-
fer. If there is a rush of bills on all
kinds of subjects the chances of use
less and harmful delay will be in
creased, and the president is entirely
justified in venturing to propose that
attention should be centered on the
tariff.
When he speaks of a new source of
revenue, the reference being to an in
heritance tax, he still has the reve-
nues in mind, and it may be necessar!
to consider other sources in addition
to tariff duties. Congress will have
to give much thought to this question.
Possibly the tariff may be so revised
that little or no help will be required
from any outside source.
There are certainly no insuperable
obstacles in the way of sound and ra-
| tional legislation that would be gener
ally satisfactory. The power of con-
gress is unquestionable, and only the
| proper will is necessary for the wise
| discharge of its responsibilities.

A distinguished astronomer points
out the possibility that our sun may
collide with dark star In that case,
the distinguished astronomer remarks,
there will be ructions, or words to that
effect. The smashup would according
to his way of figuring, result in general
upheayal, the destruction of all life on
the earth and such a change of orbital
movements and of climatic conditions
that the world would hardly know it.
self. However, all this is conjecture,
and people generally are not going to
get alarmed over the matter. Astrono-
mers may see things of this sort, but
scientists of another class teach that
the earth has been in existence several
millions of years, and so far as they
can see is good for as many more.
When scientists fall out the unlearned
man is likely to adhere to whatever be-
lief is most comforting.

BLACK HANDLER CAUGHT
DEMANDED $4,000 FROM CHICAGO
DOCTOR ON PAIN OF DEATH.
SUCCESSFUL RUSE is WORKED
When the Italian Came to the Doctors
Office for the Money, the Police
Nabbed Him.

Chicago, Ill.-Vincenzo Geracie, who
is said by the police to be the
leader of the Chicago "Black Hand"
society, was arrested here yesterday
in the Office of DR.. Peter Cutrera, from
whom the Italian had demanded So, 900
on pain of death. Geracie it is said
has given evidence concerning his as
sociates in the plot and the police eX-
pect to arrest several others soon. 1t
is thought that the members of the
Chicago society are in close touch
with the New York gang that brought
about the killing of Lieut.. Petrosino
recently in Italy.
DR.. Cutrera several days ago re-
ceived threatening letter demanding
$1,000, but he paid no attention to it.
A second letter was received. Yester-
day the physician received a tele-
phone message from man who said
he was one of those who had written
the letters. unless you pay us the
money you will be killed within an
hour" said the man on the telephone.
DR.. Cutrera invited the man to
come to his office. He prepared a
dummy package of money and sent for
the police. Detectives came at once
and were concealed in an adjoining
room. Within a short time there
came rap at the door and Geracie
entered.
81 have come for the money
said he.
Just as the physician was handing
the package over, the detectives
jumped out and grabbed Geracie. He
fought hard but was overpowered.

EXPENSIVE BLAZE IN DETROIT
One of the City's Business Buildings
is Badly Damaged by the
Fiery Demon.

Detroit, Mich.-Fire broke out late
last night in the five story brick build
ing occupied by Heyn's bazaar, 147 to
151 Woodward avenue, and spread
with great rapidity through the Sec
ond, third, fourth and fifth floors.
After an hours work the firemen
had checked the fire sufficiently to
remove the danger to adjoining build
ings. Heyn's bazaar stock, valued at
$210,000 and insured for $120,OOO is
almost total loss. L. e A Freund of
this city owns the building and their
loss will probably reach $4,000 G..

Need for Caution.

What with the recovery from the
panic, the present prospects of re-
vision and the condition of the treas
ury there is no good reason for taking
an alarmist view of the situation. The
annual deficits may be succeeded by
annual surpluses, and the enormous
wealth of the country is a pretty safe
guaranty that the United States can
pay its way. This, however, is no eX-
cuse for waste in appropriations, and
congress should be mindful of the
fact.

Eliot for st. James.

The United States would be greatly
honored by the appointment of Presi-
dent Eliot as ambassador to the court
of st. James. The suggestion is one
that is highly attractive. No man in
the country is better fitted for this dis
tinguished diplomatic position. Dr.
Eliot has withdrawn from the con-
spicuous post of many years. But he
is strong and well. His many notable
qualifications stamp him as the most
suitable person the United States has
for it's representative near the throne
of Great Britain.
Mr.. Bryce has strengthened materi-
ally the ties of friendship between the
two nations. A man of cabinet tim
Der himself, he has given his splendid
talents to an ambassadorship that will
be remembered long in the history of
Anglo o-American diplomacy. He has
been a welcome guest wherever he
has gone in the United States. His
selection and his service have both
contributed toward the improvement
of the international relationships of
two great powers.
President Eliot is the man to carry
the greetings of our country to Eng
land. He would rank well with the
distinguished men of scholarship who
have filled the lofty position in years
gone by. If he can be induced to ac-
cept the place his selection will add
new glory to the auspicious beginning
of the Taft administration.
