For the Safety of Miners

On October 30 and 31 the miners of Pittsburg are to meet to discuss the problem of safety in the mines of the country. The "blow out shot is
 to be especially discussed. It is eX- pected that large number of miners will participate in the meeting.
 The casualties in American mines far outrun those in European mines. In the last 10 years 30,000 men have been killed in our mines and nearly thrice that number injured. The United States government and the governments of the mining states are striving to render the miners life more secure, and now they are ask ing the cooperation of the miner himself. This may be said to be the chief object of the Pittsburg meeting. Little can be accomplished unless the miner will do his part. The Pittsourg meeting will endeavor to teach him the importance of doing his share and to show him how to do it.
 A representative from every mining camp in this district could no doubt aauire valuable information at the Pittsburg meeting. Possibly tie op- orators will appreciate the benefit that would flow from the Pittsburg meeting, and they may conclude to act up to their knowledge and conyic- tions.

From the New York World.

From the New York World
 ITNHE orchestra gave a preliminary flourish, the curtain darted up and | out of a restaurant strolled the target for a thousand opera glasses. Yes, there was Gaby, pearls and all, every inch a queen of the vaudeville. And Gaby, her brown eyes dancing and her bejeweled hands throwing kisses in all directions, paused to contemplate the inn pression she had made and to listen to the sweet music of the applause.
 It didn't take long to reveal that Gaby is all that she has been pictured and painted. In her blond wig and her plumes she was a type of the perfect theatrical beauty-which isn't quite the same as the beauty of the domestic life Her features were delicate, all except a mouth inclined to hardness; her limbs were 1.-the and tapering and she moved about the stage in a way that left no doubt that she had perfect confidence in herself. She seemed to say:
 "Well, here I am. Take a good look at mel" and then she began to act the little play which was billed on the pro- gramme as Les Debute de Chichine."
 Gaby isn't an actress at all. Gaby isn't much of a singer. She dances grace fully few simple steps. No, Gaby doesn't live for art, but for beauty's sake. Half a dozen or more obscure girls in the Winter Gardens chorus might show a great deal more ability if they had a chance. But not a dozen women in the broad land could have Haunted such sun rise beauty or flashed so much as frac- tion of her treasure of pearls.

 Miss G. -the-Liles came on in all the glory and a vertable indigestion of clothes that only art could wear suc- cessfully. She is slim, blonde and lis- some. with a rather pensive personality. Jewels clanored for utterance wherever they could clamor. She looked like a perambulating shop from the Rue de la Paix or Tiffany concentrated into one feminine essence.
 She danced in the style affected by Miss Bessie Clayton with apologies to Bessie, and she danced quite prettily and neatly. As is the custom nowadays, via Russia, Miss-of-the-L Lilies used a youth, to fortune and to fame unknown, to aid her in her salatoral flights. Very handy are these youths today and nice to keep around the house! The youth does all

SQUARE NILES.

None of the powers are quite con- tent with their African holdings. Italy wants Tripoli, now held by Fur key, and France is about to secure Morocco England wants a strip of the Belgian Congo along Lake Tan gankiya, and she would have secured it long ago if Germany had not in- terfered in the matter.
 Germany has not fared well in Africa and possibly new deal in the Belgian and Portuguese holdings in Africa will give her control of a larger and more valuable territory. As lines now stand France has se- / cured the largest slice of Africa and England the most valuable. When Africa is fully partitioned and set tied the possession of the world will be pretty we'll defined, and changes hereafter will be on a small scale. The grabbing of territory is nearly ended, and there is scarcely a great nation that has not gathered in vast districts of small commercial value. Russia alone desires no distinct pos sessions, and the United States would have done well to have adhered to a policy that confined possessions to this continent.

Included in the list are the following:
DO not speak of the old gent and the
old woman.' Fathers and mothers are a
necessary evil in the present system Of
things. They have spoken respectfully Of
you when outsiders could not see anything
on which they could hang even small
compliment.
DO not give all your attention to the
education of the brains on the outside Of
your head. Foot ball hair and a letter on
shirt are not a sufi1cient training for life.
do not put the money of your tailor
and your washerwoman in flve-dollar
opera seats and twO-dollar theater tickets
They may prefer to spend their earnings
in some other way.
DO not try to get rich quick: smarter
men than you. who have come to town
without a cent, have tried It and lost all
they had" 49,
