WoMAN CAUSE OF STRIKE.

Coal strikes have sometimes been
threatened on curious grounds. In
1874 a woman was employed as a
messenger at one of the collieries
near Oswestry, England. As she
commenced her days work very
early, she often met the miners on
their way to the pit, and as the men
considered it q bad o1nen to meet q
woman first thing in the morning,
trouble aroae. BY threats and per-
suasion they tried to get the Offend
ing female to give UP her job, but
failing in this, they went in body
to the manager and fatty refused
to go down until the woman had
been dismissed.

LIKES PENSACOLA

Thos. Carey, of Star City, Ind, is in

has developed into an enthusiastic
Florida and Deep Water City booster
Nearly everyone who comes to Pensa-
cola does this, but Mr. Carey is par
ticuIarly impressed with the beauty,
the climate, and the general attrac-
tiveness of the Gulf Coast. He came
here two weeks ago in very poor health
and even in that short time has expe-
rienced a remarkable improvement. He
came in time to witness the great ma
val and military parade and the pre-
sentation of the silver service to the
Battleship Florida and he regards the
occa sion as one of the great events nf
his life. Yesterday Mr.. Carey pre-
scented The Journal with some fine
juicy Indiana apples which, needless T.
say, always pass above par in this Of
fee. He is accompanied by Mrs. Carey
who Is eqully pleased with Florida.
