MINERS IN CONVENTION.

Settlement With Operators.

SPOtahS'e'
Scranton, Pa, April 27.-With every
prospect that the differences existing
between the anthracite mine workers
and the operators will be adjusted,
the tridistrict convention of the union
miners in the hard coal fields convened
here today to consider the latest prop
ositions that form the basis for the
final settlement.
Prior to the convention the members
of the three anthracite executive
boards met here with National Presi-
dent Lewis and considered the gen
eral proposition Of the mine owners
and Ave amendments to the operators
ofrer that have been accepted by the
employers.
The proposition Of the operators pro-
vides for renewal for another three
years Of the strike commission awards.
One Of the amendments agreed to by
the operators provides that men who
are discharged shall have the right to
appeal to the conciliation board, and
another amendment provides that new
work shall be paid for at the same
rate as old work under the awards Of
the strike commission. ..

Locust Ravase Algeria.

Locusts are devastating Southern
Algeria. The swarms are so great
as almost to defy Imagination. 1t is
not easy to conceive of an almost solid
phalanx OF insects 1876 miles long by
six miles wide. Unfortunately the de.
vastation which such myriads of vo-
racious insects must create in vegeta-
ton Is not 30 dificult to appreciate.
Wherever the host has passed nothing
green remains. Even the houses are
becoming uninhabitable.

Rural Mail Delivery,

Postmaster Allen has received the
following instructions respecting
the Rural Mail Routes throughout
this country.
In order to expedite the delivery,
collection, and dispatch of rural
mail, enable rural carriers to cover
their routes with celerity, and give
the earliest possible service to pa
irons residing on the far ends of
routes, the Department will insist
that all rural mail boxes be so To-
Gated as to be served with greatest
expedition.
You are, therefore, directed to
require each rural carrier at your
Office to submit to you without de-
lay, for Transmission to the Depart
ment, the names of all patrons whose
boxes can not be served without
leaving the road, dismounting, driv-
ing in deep bitches or on steep in
cilnes, or on or across railway tracks
involving danger, or the approaches
to whose boxes are obstructed. 1t
is not required that boxes shall be
erected beside the wheel tracks, nor
on any particular corner of the
crossroads; but they must be erect
ed within the confines of the road
and accessible, on any corner.
1t Is not desirable that boxes be
attached to telegraph, telephone, or
electric-light poles, or to fences OF
buildings, but boxes should be Be-
curely fastened to neat and strong
posts firmly set at the side of the
roads, at a sufficient height to be
served by carriers without rising
from their seats or reaching through
wheel spokes.
After boxes have been properly
relocated, and 1t is practicable tC
curtail carriers schedules, postmast
ers will advise this office, so thai
change in schedules may be consid
cred.
When roads are in bad condition
postmasters are directed, to make
report thereof to the Department
and to the proper local road officiall
and cooperate with them and pa
irons to the fullest extent, consist
ent with position and duty, to Sc
cure the improvement of the roads
The manifestation of interest an(
properly directed efforts by post
masters in the good-roads question
will In many instances be productive
of excellent results.

Great relief is felt throughout the an

Great relief is felt throughout the an
thracite region as a result of the settle
ment of the controversy between the
mine workers and the operators. Oper-
ators, mine workers and the public gen.
orally were all anxious that peace be
restored for another term of years. The
suspense incident to the negotiations
hurt business considerably while it last
ed, and there was general atmosphere
of dissatisfaction all around. Despite
the manner in which the terms of the
settlement are guarded, it can be stated
that the chief conditions are the fixing
Of prices for new work and the signing
Of the agreement by the officers of the
union, as officers, but "in behalf OF the
anthracite mine workers." including
union and non-union men.

The Nicholson Examiner is moved to
say that while the farmer can live without
the assistance of any other occupation,
yet it could hardly be said that he was
living. Our present system of life is
complex, and all occupations are neces-
sary for real enjoyment of life. The
farmer no longer lives within his own
shell, but is now enjoying the products
of his labor. He travels, and he reads,
and the more he advances the more he
becomes a dependent creature. Some
farmers, who take no time to think,
imagine the whole universe depends up
on their labor, and that if they should
cease sowing and harvesting the whole
shebang would 60 to pieces. They err
in so believing and they hurt their cause
thereby. We are dependent creatures,
all of US, and as such must work to-
gether for the good of all, and not for
one class alone. The farmer is depen-
dent upon the merchant, the miner, and
Others for anythings. All occupations
are honorable if conducted for the best
interests of the whole people. AS long
as the farmers produce there must be
those who consume or else the farmers
could not pay their taxes. We believe
today that the American farmer is the
best off of any class of our citizens and,
as rule, is making money. The far
mer who puts the best of his intellect in
to his farm, as merchant does into his
business, cannot help but make money.

A novel competition is to be de-
cided by Halleys comet, which is
expected soon to come in sight for
a few months of it's 75-year circuit
around the sun. A wealthy Euro
pean amateur astronomer offered a
prize for the best computation of
this comets orbit, submitted before
the close of 1909, and competing
ephemeris for this year and next
indicates very different route from
that expected, showing the perihel-
ion passage in the middle of June
instead of the middle of April, 1910.

William R. Rose died at his home in
Ellenville, N. Y, on Friday, April 26,
1909, after an illness of several weeks.
He was born at Cuddebackville, N. Y.
April 6, 1884, and had consequently
just entered on his 10th year. He was
a son of William G. Rose, of Port Jer-
Wis, who was for fifty years in the en-
ploy of the Del & Hud. Canal Co. VIM.
R. was educated at Bethany, this coun-
ty, and also attended the Goshen IN. Y
Academy. Soon after attaining his ma
jority he established general store at
Phillipsport on the canal which he con-
Quoted successfully for over fifty years.
1t was largely patronized by the boat
men, as it was one of the largest and
best known establishments to cater to
their trade between Honesdale and Ron
dout. He retired to Ellenville when the
canal went out of business, and devoted
his attention to banking, having been
for several years prior to his death presi-
dent of the Home. National Bank, of that
village. He was Republican in poll
tics and served terms as superintendent
of the poor, and in the State Assembly.
He issurvived by his wife, formerly Miss
Eleanor Jane Graham, daughter, Miss
Katherine, and two sons, James Gra-
ham and William O. Rose.
