burg district affecting $4,000 men,

which will go to Wilkesbarre, Pa,
tomorrow to confer with Chief Mine
Inspector James e. Roderick of Penn
sylvania, asking that a thosough in
vestigation OF the use of black pow

The state authorities ordered the
use of black powder but the miners
contended that it shattered coal to
such an extent that their earnings
are greatly decreased. The district
officials of the miners union took no
part in the conference owing to differ
ences existing between them and the
national boar. Il is expected that
majority Of miners will return to
work tomorrow.

BIRTH OF THE GERMAN NAVY.
"A Few Facts Showing the Wonderful
Progress Made in Building UP
a Marine Power.

Some idea of the wonderful progress
of the German navy is gained when
one realizes that Nice-Admiral Rein
hold Won Werner whose death is an
nounced at the age of 81, saw prac-
tically the birth of that navy as we
now know 1t. When the German fleet
was sold by auction in 1852 Werner
secured a commission in the new Prus-
sian navy, and during the war with
Denmark he commanded one of the
three steam frigates, then the prln-
cipal ships of the Prussian navy. At
the date of the formation of the feder-
al navy Werner was director of dock
yards at Danzig. In 1869, however,
the deceased vice-admiral returned to
active service, and at the time of his
retirement in 1878 he held the COM
mand of the Baltic station. He de-
voted the last 80 years of his life to
the patriotic task of popularizing the
idea of that sea power which he had
seen grow from insignificant proper
lions to strength which has done so
much to stimulate the shipbuilding of
other nations. He was prolific writ
er, and his authorship extended over
a long period Even at the time of
the Battle of Jasmund he attracted at
tention by work on the Prussian
navy, its present and it's future.

How to Care For Leather Furniture


Most housekeepers regard their leath-
err furniture as a thing to be busted
only and left to its fate. There never
was q greater mistake. The leather
needs constant and intelligent care to
keep it from drying out and tearing
into shreds or turning to powder. All
leather needs care and furniture cover
ing most of all. In the first place,
don't be afraid to apply a little soap
and water to it to wash off the dust
and dirt. Use soapy water. a sponge
and q paint brush to get into the folds
of the leather and the creviceS. The
soapy water will darlIen the leather,
but only temporarily. When the leath-
er is dry here is a preparation that
will do it good. It's simply just one
part sweet oil and four parts benzine.
The oil will darken the leather little,
but it will soon dry in and leave it the
original color. The surplus oil may be
removed by rubbing. Rub into the
grain of the leather. This treatment
four times a year will preserve both
the life and the elasticity Of leather
furniture covering.

in CASE OF FIRE.
Vow to Save Property and Escape
From q Burning Building.

From Burning Building.
Ones ability to extinguish a starting
fire or TO escape IL caught In a burn
ing building depends upon intelligence
and self control If the blaze is just
starting throw water OH the material
that is burning at the blaze. One
bucket Of water will do more good If
thrown on by handfuls or with a
broom than If dashed on at once, A
small fire may be smothered with a
rug or blanket or beaten out with Il
broom.
If you cannot put out the fire in a
minute yell "Firer' and then, If in n
city, call the fire department. Every
one living in the house should know
the telephone number to be used for
getting the firemen, and it should be
on the wall for strangers to use. There
is no time for looking in the directory,
even II one should not be too nervous
to find number. Every one should
know where the nearest fire alarm
box is and how to use it.
Do not leave the door open when
you run out to give an alarm. If the
doors and windows are closed when a
fire starts one can always get the fire
men there I'm time to put it out while
it is in only one room. The fire soon
consumes all the oxygen in n closed
room and may die out if it gets no
fresh air.
If awakened in the night by the
or
yourself in a blanket or quilt from the
bed and get out the quickest way you
can Shut the doors you pass through.
After calling for help try to ascertain
the extent and the situation of the
fire. You can tell if it is best to try
to carry out the household goods. If
the fire is on the first floor it is very
dangerous to go above, because the
heat and choking smoke rise.
One can often get out through hall
filed with smoke by going on his hands
and knees when he would fall chok-
ing if he ran. The smoke is the thick
est at the ceiling. Holding a wet tow
ell or anything made Of flannel or even
a coat collar over the mouth greatly
lessons the danger Of injury to the
lungs or death from the carDonic acid
gas in the smoke.
Most fires start in the first floor or
basement of Il building and burn a
hole up through the roof In house
the flames travel by the stairways; in
big store or hotel they go quickly
up the elevator shaft After reaching
the top the fire spreads and slowly
goes down.

How to Clean White Felt Hats.

One girl whose income is so small
that her friends wonder how she can
afford to wear the light colored hats
that are so becoming to her keeps
them clean with artists chalk. She
lays in a supply of this chalk. which
can be bought for few cents and in
different colors. Should spot appear
in pink hat, for instance, it is imme-
diately covered with pink chalk and
laid in a dark place for several hours
or, better yet, overnight. When the
chalk was brushed off the spot usually
comes along. A milliner is RESPONSE
bic for Il somewhat heroic treatment
Of light felt hats. She says that when
they become dirty she always rubs the
surface with the finest sandpaper that
can be found. Strange to say, this
does not roughen the felt and does re-
move the dirt.
