 fore the Coal Mems convention to be held in Birmingham October 10 and 11.
 The subject of his address will be, The Growth of Business 1ntserity"
 The Order of Kokoal is the develop ment of an idea built on the commend able foundation of promoting honorable business dealings, high business integrity, and encouraging square dear' between all branches of the coal industry.
 The first tangible step towards its or ganization came on September ?, 1s0o, when seven coalmen met at the Great Northern hotel. Chicago. in response to a call sent out by Arthur NJ. Hull. A tenn porary organization was formed, and it was decided to issue general call for another meeting on october H. 1895, to per feet the equalization. At this meeting 75 charter members were admitted the con- stitution and bylaws adopted, and II sentries elected The name Order Kokoal, suggested by Dr. R. A. Haley of Chicago, was chosen. as was also Modoc Barclay 5 motto, Come On And Lift which has since become such popular slogan ot the coal trade.
 The first Koruskation and ritualistic ceremony was held in the Masonic temple Chicago, on November Il. 1895, and the Order kokoal was thus formally launched.

THE PIPE OF PEACE
By CHARLES H. MANDY

wonderful change. The other morning he came to his office looking as spick and span as a new pin. His flowing locks were neatly parted. his linen as white as the driven snow his necktie made into d graceful low that showed unmistaka- bly, the deft fingers of woman, his colthes were carefully brushed, while between his teeth instead of the familiar Virginia cherott was handsome briar pipe.
 How different he looked from the time of his single wretchedness. when his hair looked as though it had been combed with towel. his neektie trying to make con- nections with his left ear, his collar show ing unmistakable signs of wear and tear, his clothes might easily have been taken for the door mat, while generally an Anna Held was stuck in the corner of his mouth at an angie of 45 degrees. Yes sir, the change in the judges appear ance is very marked, and his neat appear the court officials ana the persons at ending court as he strutted in the court room the other day.
 Der chudge now smokes der pipe uf peace" remarked Julibus Tettlebaum. a Red man of Hebrew ancestry. and per- sonal friend O. the judge. It is a strange but true fact that while no Indians are

 You don't mean to say that war has been declared already?1 asked Marvin Bonner.
 No von is tinking about var; vat I meant ter say was der married chentle- mans iss now at peace wit der world, and he looks der part don't it?''
 You're right" remarked Jack Green CT, when man smokes a pipe he is generally satified with the way things are rocking along. Speaking of pipes
 Do you mean lead pipes. vot you call der chinch?'' asked the Indi-Hebrew.

T was about to say the Indian smokes his calumet. the Turk his hookah, the Dutchnan his china bowl the Chinaman elings to his pill and pipe the Irishman his dudeen, the Eng ishnan his briar, the American his corr cob, but good old chaw of terbacco for mine" And Jack bit off chew that consumed half his plug.

When a man gets married he invaria- ply gives up some of his habits for q while at least, and determines on a sys- every man who wants to economize. be he married or single. starts out by cut ting down his tobacco Dill. It may not amount to much but he decides that "seesars" arc too expensive and immedi- ately invests about S in pipe. tobacco pouch, match box and other fancied ne- cessities. How he figures out he is saw ing money has never oeen ascertained. for ordinarily the man who foregoes cigars will spend as much on a smoking outfit that he will throw aside in a cou- pie of weeks as would have paid for the supply of his favorite 'Punkerinos, for severa. months at least.
 We started out by saying that when man nlarrios He gives up his habits, but that is not all he gives up, as he soon finds out when the first months bills come due, and by the time his wife has worn out the clothes her dad provided and new cnes have to be bought he feels like applying to the man who says that two can live as cheaply as one the epithet that T. +. uses to designate his political opponents who dare to differ with his viewpoint.
 Still, for everything that single man gives up, the married man is doubly re- paid by the joys of pleasant compan- ionship A mans responsibility strength ems his character: the man without re- sponsibility is liable to drift with the tide and wreck his life on the breakers of vice and dissipation. The man is de- void of the appreciation of the best there is in life. and sinks to the level of a brute, who is not made better by the eompanionship of good woman and up- lifted by her gentle influences, for q cnsar vii go through anything for the man she loves, even the pockets of his pants.
 Getting back to our subject, Judge Aber- nethy. who recently became a benedict, like the rest of fallible humanity has fallen for the economy stunt and now smokes a pipe. But that is not the only difference noted in the genial judge for his personal appearance has undergone a

COOFAS INJURED
 AT ACMAR MINES
Not Known Whether It Was Result of Accident or Personal
 Trouble

As the result of an accident al the Acmar mines of the Alabama Fuel company about o'clock yesterday evening, Jim Coofas, Greek miner, was brought in wagon to the South Highlands infrmary with a fractured skull Advice from the internes at the infirmary last night was to the effect that the Greek was not expected 10 live.
 The injured man was in such a COZ ( dition that he was unable to give a clear account of the accident or trou- ble at the mines. The officials of the Alabama Fuel company, the company operating the mines, had received nc information of any serious trouble or accident, and as telephone communica- ton with Acmar at the late hour was impossible. no correct advice could be gathered.
 When questioned by internes t the iuiirmary after lie had been made com fortable, coofas told a tale in broken English and with much jumblins, but ,ron what could be gleamed he hao heen slightly injured. This accident was of local nature. and caused no injury to the mine structure.
 w. c. Adams, secretary of the com pany, with offices In Birmingham said: T have received no information of any trouble or accident at Acmar If there lad been any of a serious nature either l or one Of the other officials would have been notified. Therefore, am of the opinion that the trouble. which resulted fin a fractured skull for coofas. was of personal nature, and that there was only one or two other participants. If. however. there was an accident at the mine, this was only of local nature. and no one was seriously injured save the Greek miner. and in all probability he was the only victim

 Embrace

Salem, Mass, October 1.-The venire Of $50 talesmen drawn as possible jurors for
 the trial of Joseph J. Ettor and Arthuro
 Giovannitti and Joseph Caruso, on
 charges of being concerned in the death of
 Annie Lopizzo last January was nearly

 second day of the trial. Judge Quinn is
 expected to order 6 new panel of equal
 size summoned tomorrow. One hundred
 and twenty-nine were examined today,
 but not one found his way to the jury
 box, go two jurymen chosen yesterday
 have no companions thus far.
 Judge Quinn found nearly all the ve-
 niremen already had formed an opinion
 as to the guilt or innocence of the de-
 fendants. or were opposed to the death
 penalty. Twice during the day tho court addressed the talesmen as to their duty
 and urged upon them to consider care fully before ans&ering his questions. A dozen or more of the venirem en were passed by the court but quickly were challenged by prosecution or de- fense. Court officers do not look for much progress in filling the jury box until the 132 peremptory challenges al- lowed, 68 on either side, have been made use of Thus far the prosecution has challenged 25 men and the three
 defendants jointly 24.
 Pathetic Scene Enacted A pathetic scene was enacted tonight as the prisoners were being taken to the jail. During the afternoon an Italian woman with a shawl over her head and | baby in her arms, had been standing outside the courthouse in the rain. Just | before adjournment officers learned she was the wife of Caruso and took her fnto | the building AS her husband was beins | led away to the jail the deputy sheriff | to whom he was handcuffed was stopped | long enough for the man and woman to | embrace. The prisoner was given brief | opportunity to look at the child which was ! born since he has been in custody and which he had seen but twice for few minutes only.
 William D. Haywood came to Salem late today hoping to be permitted to at- | tend the trial of his fellow leaders in | the Industrial Workers of the World. He 1 was advised that he would not be admit | ted and did not appear at the court house. All spectators were barred today. Several letters and telegrams of a | threatening nature reached officials of | the court during the day District Att torney Atwill. who is trying the case | for the government received a telegram | in which march on the courthouse was | threatened if the defendants were not | freed. City Marshal Lehan had two let l ters Of similar import.
 Judge Quinn received several letters containing advice on how to conduct the case.

laxative will act gently, yet positively,
and restore normal conditions. This
simple. natural remedy Is also invalu-
able in checking summer diarrhoea.
By thoroughly cleansing the bowels,

irrftate and infiame the tissues are
eliminated. Don't torture the child

while positive in its effect, acts gently
and without gripping or discomfort, re-
