FROM THEIR HOMES
Soldiers Watch to Prevent Abuses
One Company Under Arrest
for Drinking.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Oct. 9.--
Distressing scenes were Witnessed
along Cabin and Paint creeks yaster.
day when deputy sheriffs evicted the
families of many miners from their
humble homes they have occupied in
some instances since the mines were
opened, The eyietions are being
closely watched by the military to
prevent mistreatment and unneces-
sary suffering.
The striking miners were notified
two months ago that they must return
to work or move. No serious distur-
Dances followed the action of the Off
GERS early in the day, but the authori-
ties were apprehensive and the dis
trict was. carefully guarded.
In all instances the coal companies
offered to move the miners household
goods and pay their transportation to
union districts to be named by the
miners themselves. In most instances
the miners took advantage of the Of
fer, but there were few who did not,
and their household goods were plac-
ed In the county road If they declined
to accept place for storage.
Company e, First West Virginia
Infantry, was placed in arrest at its
camp on Paint Creek during Monday
night and taken to military headquar-
ters at Paint Greek Junction today in
order that Acknowledgement Elliott
might investigate the charge that the
men had been drinking. 1t was stat
ed at headquarters that the offense
was believed to be confined to a few
soldiers, but General Elliott desired
all the facts.
The mining investigation commits
sion adjourned today, subject to the
call of Chairman Donahue. In all.
probability the commission will visit
the Fairmont and Pocahontas districts
and possibly New River district with

RURAL CARRIERS
MUST GET READY
NV Parcels Post Becomes Effective
First of Year-Afects Only
Rural Men.

Beginning January LIST, the new par
cells post law, enacted az part OF the
last congress will go into effect. The
rural mail carriers. will be principally
affected by the new law from the fact
that they will be compelled to provide
themselves with wagons that win tawe
care of the packages they will be com
piled to handle. From the postoffice
end the city carriers will not be con-
crned much more than at present, for
they will only have TO deliver the
small packages that will not hamper
them in their other work. The pub
lie to be benefited by the parcels post
VIII be principally those who live on
the rural routes and to them it will be
a great boon. They viii be able to
have gods of all kinds delivered up to
a certain limit in bulk and wight-a
convenience they have been contend
ing for for long time.
Many busins men in the smaller
citis have been against the parcels
post, claiming it would be a detriment
to them and benefit to the large mail
order houses. This sentiment has
shanged lately, and now the merchants
have nearly all come to realization
of the fact that If the establishment
of the new system will be benefit to
the mail order houses 1t is possible for
them TO make it a benefit to them
selves. AS a reult of tn, they are max
ing preparation to enter into the mail
order business as a matter of protec-
ton. That there will pc an increae in
business for the merchants in the
larger towns there is no question, for
there are always those who do not buy
at home, but opatronize the outside
merchant. The number of this class
will not be increased greatly except
where it is not possible to get luxur-
les at home trat can be secured in
the cities.
Martinsburg will probably be. great
ly benefited by the inauguration of
the new system because of the num-
Der of rural maiLcarriers working out
of this city. There are many routes
covered by the local rural carriers
and when the residents along those
routes come to realize it will be pos
sible for them to get many articles by
mail they were formerly compelled to
come to town for they will have them
sept out instead of coming in after
them.
Information has been sent. out from
Washington that Postmaster General
Hitchcock has. had special stamps
made for the parcels post business.
They will be of a distinctive design
and color so as not to conflict with
the series now in use for other pnr-
poses. The stamps are now being
prepared and they will be ready for
delivery on requisition about Decem-
Der LIST, so that the 10000 postoffices
in the United States may all have
them on hand when the new law be-
comes effective.

ECLIPSE OF
THE SUN OCT. 10

WASHINGTON, ID. Co.. Oct. o.
There is to be a total eclipse of the
sun tomorrow, but few persons in the
United States and none in Canada will
have an opportunity to view the phe-
nomena Residents of southern Flor
ida, If conditions are favorable, will
be treated to a, partial performance
by old Sol when he hides himself be-
hind the moon.
The path of totality will cross South
America from poinr Near Quito. Ec-
uador, to Rio Janelro, Brazil. The
best place. it is figured, for observ-
ing the eclipse Will be in the vicinity
of the Brazilian metropolis. Here the
astronomers from America and Eu-
rope have set up instruments with
long, unpronounceable names to take
observations during the two minutes
duration of the total eclipse.
A total eclipse is of popular inter-
est because as mere spectacle it is
one of the most beautiful presented
to the human eye. But the problem
uppermost in the minds of the scien-
fists in connection with. solar, eclipses
are those relating to the suns corona,
which can be seen only when the sun
is hidden by the moon. 1t is an APP
pendage to the sun, consisting of very
tenuous gases chiefly, and apparently
kept out in its position by repellent
power of the sun
