COAL STRIKE

With only one or two excep-
tions, the suspension of the coal
mining industry of the country
which went into effect at midnight
Sunday, when the wage contracts
between the members of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America and
the bituminous and anthracite
coal operators expired, was gener-
al. Approximately 100000 miners
are out of work, the country will
miss more than million tons of
coal and the miners are out one
million dollars in wages.

RAILWAY SERVICE

THE United States have the
best railroads in the world" says
the complacent patriot turning
resolutely from every demonstra-
ton of rotten and perilous condi-
ton to which private ownership
has brought our public highways.
Sure. Like this:
The most famous and best ad-
vertised of our fast express trains
are operated between New York
and Chicago and between New
York and st. Louis.
In the sixty days ending on
March 13 of this year eleven Of
those trains were wrecked.
The Lake Shores eighteen,
hour Twentieth Century was
wrecked three times; the Penn.
sylvania's New York Chicago Fly.
or was wrecked three times; the
Pennsylvania 1S-hour train wat
wrecked once.
In these eleven accidents alone
sixteen persons were killed out
right and 194 were injured, som,
of the injuries being fatal.

A DOZEN MEN

George M. Reynolds, president
of the Continental and Commercial
National Bank of Chicago, at the
National Business Congress, De-
cember l3, 1911, said: 81 believe
the money power now lies in the
hands of dozen men. l plead
guilty to being one, in the last
analysis, of those men. Two or
three (banks) in New York, two
or three in Chicago, and two or
three in st. Louis could control
the question of whether or not
loans should be made to correspon-
dents throughout the country"

PRODUCT OF THE MILL

Child labor ;s the theme of NJ Miss
Elizabeth McFadden's play" The
Product Of the MILL" which re-
ceived this year the $500 Harvard
Radcliffe prize offered annually by
Mr.. John Craig of the Castle
Square Theatre, Boston. 1t was
produced for the first time on Jan
uary %. Miss McFadden, who is
now a graduate student at Rad
cliffe, was Smith College girl of
the class of 1898. Before writing
this play she made herself familiar
with conditions in the Southern
cotton mills by personal investiga-
ton.
The story in it's broad outlines
is soon told. Mr.. Henry Carman,
a resident of New York is drawing
large dividends from a cotton mill
in the south which he has never
seen. His little fve-year-old son
is kidnapped one Christmas eve
and nine years later is found in
his fathers own mill, thin, wan,
degraded, illiterate little creature,
a hideous wreck of the healthy,
happy child he had been. While
working on a night shift the boy
is caught in one of the machines
which are dangerously close to-
gether and is seriously injured.
He is nursed back to life by his
own mother who, in her desperate
effort to find her son, followed a
clew which led eventually to her
husbands mill. Recog n o n
comes only when the boy, looking
out into the night falls into the
language of his babyhood and re-
fers to the moon as "the mother
star"

FARMERS COMBINING

The following is from an address
by Chas. s. Barrett, National
President of the Farmers Union
to the Officers and Members of
the Farmers Uuion:
To my mind, one of the most
significant facts in current Ameri-
can history is that the Farmers
Union is today greater in member
ship than at any period since it's
founding. The producer in this
country is at last awakened to the
necessity of organization. What
this means in the agricultural, the
economic and the political life OF
the nation is not easily estimated.
From reports made me by state
officials, and from my recent trav-
els which have embraced virtually
every state organized, l find more
money in the state treasures and
a greater paid up membership
than ever before. The member.
ship includes residents of three
fourths of the states, and farmers
of every grade, from the one-horse
variety on up to the wealthy indi
vidual.

PEA FED HOGS

Another train load of the fa-

left Romeo Thursday for the Pu-

by the local feeders was close to
800 which means thst there was
some money made. In the ship
ment we're So eleven-months-old
hogs, averaging 24l pounds each,
which had been grown by G. Il.
Berry. They were fattened on So
acres of peas and Mr.. Berry esti-
mates that with the other stock he
is feeding on the same peas the
field is netting him about $40 per
acre.-Record.

fore the present status of affairs be-

HOW ROMAN WENT COURTiNG
Prospective Wife Had Nothing to Do With the Match, Though Ac-
 corded High Position.

When a boy had completed his studies and had reached the age of perhaps twenty-five or thirty, it was his duty to marry. After deciding upon a lady whom he thought suitable to be his wife he arranged tho be- throthal with her father, as the maid en was usually too young to be con- suited in the matter, and, furthermore, Roman women were always under guardianship. The marriage cere- monies began with the feast and sac rif1ces in the house of the brides fa' ther.
 In the evening a procession of youths. torch-bearers, musicians and guests escorted the bride to her fu- ture home, where the groom carefully lifted her over the threshold, as it was an i'll omen for her to touch the sill with her foot. In case the we'd ding was of the ancient sacred form termed confarreatio, the newly mar. ried pair, after entering the house. ate together a sacred cake in the pres ence of ten witnesses and of the chief pontiff and priest of Jupiter. The ceremonies of the evening ended with bridal song by the guests, and on the following day the husband gave a marriage feast to his friends.
 Though early custom placed the wife in the power of her husband, she went freely into society, attended the theaters and public games, taught her children, and sometimes aided her husband in his political career. Her position as mistress of the household commanded respect from government and society.-Exchange.

Human Hair.Nets,

The annual sale of nets of human hair, according to the report of the American consul at Kehl, estimated at 12,000,000.
 Hair-nets are made almost wholly in the houses of Alsatian and Aus trian peasants: the peculiar skill re. quired to net hair has become in part hereditary.
 The children begin first to tie the hairs together. end to end, to make one long hair. Then, with only a round piece of wood about six inches long and one-half inch in diameter and 8 needle, the older girls and women and sometimes the men-weave the. nets. Each mesh is knotted in much the same way that flsh-nets or ha n- mocks are made. Only tying single hair is more delicate and difcult task than tying a string.
 To make dozen nets is a days work of ten or twelve hours.

kinaIake on Port.

Kinglake. the historian. was polite yet frank. It Is related that, upon one occasion, while dining with old Dr. Marsham, the warden of Merton, he was asked to give his opinion of some port wine which was supposed to be remarkably good. T am no judge of port myself, Kinglake," said Dr. Mar sham: 'but know you are, and should like your. opinion"
 Well" said Kinglake, T have three ways of judging port wine. The first is by the color. the second is by the odor. and the third is by the flavor. Now, the color of your wine. Mar sham"-holding it up and looking at it critically-'is good; the odor"-here he held the glass to his nose for . moment, and then added, with some hesitation-'is far from unpleasant: the flavor is''-here he tasted 1t, and put the wineglass down hastily. Would you be kind enough to pass me the sherry?"-San Francisco Ar gonaut.

CHAINED FOR NEW YORK CITY
Origin of Popular Expresion, "Let Her Go, GalIaoher!" Said to Have
 Originated There.

The expression "Let her go, Galla. gher" is in use in nearly every. city of the United States, and has travelled to foreign countries, yet it is doubtful if many can tell the origin of it. A group of men recently met in New York city and soon were talking of events that happened many years ago. One of them told the story of Let her go. Gallagher" and vouches for the truth of it, as he was present at the time 1t began.
 "A number of delegates" said the veteran, representing the Chicago fire department came to visit the New York fire laddies in the early '70s. They were shown about fire headquarters and inspected the differ ent systems. Then they desired to see some of the crack companies. Their escorts brought them to hook and ladder No. IA. in East 125th street, and while examining the ap- paratus an alarm was sounded from the West Side. Capt. Henry M. Jones bade the visitors jump on the sides of the fire truck and accompany the fire fighters to the blaze.
 Peter Gallagher was the driver of the team, and he quickly got to his seat on the truck. It swung out to the street. and the driver guided the horses to straighten out the ponder ous machine. When in a position to take full speed and dash to the place where the alarm was sounded Captain Jones yelled to the driver, Let her go, Gallagher!'
 "The visiting flremen never forgot the command, and thus began the ia. nous old saying that is in vogue to. day."

WORKINGS OF THE CAMORRA
How an Enalishman Was Politely MuIcted of $500 by Italian
 Society.

A paean of rejoicings has gone up in print over the verdict on the Ca. mora prisoners at Viterbo, and it is stated-rather previously, fear-that the great secret society of Italy has been scotched. That Naples will no longer be its headquarters is proba. ble, but 1t is so widely spread over the whole of Italy that it can be no more killed by imprisoning it's Nea. politan leaders than you can kill an octopus by cutting off one of it's ten tacles. The society has local branches in every town of importance, and 1t adapts its methods to the status of the people whom it bleeds.
 How polite the Camorrists can be a true tale of how an Englishman sub scribed to it's funds will show. The Englishman in question, married man, took house in one of the sea- port towns of Italy, not Naples, and brought his English furniture with him. A month or two after he had taken up residence. a very polite 1tal. ian gentleman called on him and pre- sented him with a bill for $500 for furniture bought from an Italian firm. The Englishman said that there must be some mistake, for he had bought no furniture in Italy, and his visitor then explained that the bill was the means by which he might subscribe to the local branch of the Camorra, and thus obtain its protection. There was no hurry about the matter, said the polite Italian, and if the Englishman did not care to pay at once the matter might stand over for six months.
 The Englishman went to his consul, who referred him to the local head of the police. The local head of the po- lice, talking as an official, promised him every protection if he did not in- tend to give the money, but as a pri' vate individual, suggested to him that $500 was not very much to pay to avoid all the anxiety that was entailed by being in the black books of the Ca. mora. The Englishman paid his $500 and holds the bill, duly receipted, for purely imaginary furniture, bought from 9 purely imaginary Italian firm.

Feeljnu for Death.

For week the self-appointed guide to the blind on their daily walks had noticed that the two men who were her special charges felt carefully of the wall on either side of the door of the asylum when passing in and out. Since she was there to lead them, that precaution seemed not at all neces- sary, and she finally asked their req. son for it.
 T am looking for crape on the door," one old man told her. ''rhey don't like to let us know here in the asylum when any one dies for fear of making us feel bad. but they put crape on the door, end by feeling for it when we pass in and out we can find out for ourselves when one of us has goae."

COATING FOR PLASTER CASTS
Simple Treatment That the Chicago Art Institute Has Found to
 Be Effective.

According to the bulletin of the Art institute of Chicago, that orgaui- zation has been very successful in keeping it's plaster casts prcscntable by means of simplest treatment.
 The cast is first sized with an ap- plication of linseed oil and turpcntine. This is put on with brush, and it is immaterial whether it is done whom the cast is new and clean or after it becomes dirty, provided only that 1t has not been painted or in any way coated with foreign matter. The only object is to make it impervious to water, so that subsequent applications will not sink in.
 Then the cast is washed over with a coat of whiting and water with 8 little glue (practically fine white wash), applied quite thin with a brush, and stippled or bounced on. so as not to show brush marks. A lit- tie yellow ochre is put into the wash, so that it will not be blue or dead white. This wash is perfectly soluble. and when it gets dirty it is easily re- moved and a fresh coat applied. It is obvious that the cast is no more coated or loaded after the twentieth application than after the first
 It is surprising in fact how little the modelling is obscured, even when it is delicate and detailed. It is doubtful if anybody, however, skillful. can tell at distance of eight CT ten feet whether cast has been whitencd O. not, and eight or ten feet is not a great distance at which to view a life-size statue. The larger forms are not in the least affected by the process of whitening.
