John McCafery was eleven years
old when he became a man. Five
years before this, his father and
mother, with their four children and
steerage tickets, sailed out of the
Queenstown Harbor, bound for the
United States. They had heard of
AmeTica-an Iishmen had-they
knew that America had no English
landlords; no rack-rented tenants;
no hopeless men and ragged women
and hungry boys and girls. So, as
they stood on the steerage deck and
looked through the wire netting at
the fading white houses and green
fields of their native land, Owen and
Bridget were light of heart. Beyond
the great turbulent ocean, were con-
tentment, equality and wealth, a
home for themselves and brilliant
future for the four children who,
half in fear and half in wonder, were
looking out at the white gulls and
the white crested waves.
Two weeks later they landed in
New York, were rushed through Cas-
tie Garden and hurried to the rail-
way train, where they set out for
Scranton, Pa. -.-.
Within a few days Owen had found
a job in the mines, opened an account
with company" store and rented
company" house, with a kitchen
and parlor below and two little bed
rooms above Down under the kit
chen floor was hole in the ground
which they called cellar, and some
rough wooden steps led to the bot
tom from the side of the house. The
hut was closed with boards which
ran up and down; the inside was
without paper or even plaster; while,
here and there, the cracks let in the
daylight, and, through the winter, the
wind and shifting snow. Owen and
Bridget we're a trifie disappointed in
their home. In their little stone hut

strange world; so, with strong hopes
and brave hearts, they set to work
to make the best of what they had,
never doubling that the looked-for
mansion would soon be theirs.
= Owen went to work in the coal
mines-fve hundred feet beneath the
ground Every morning he stepped
on board car, grasped his dinner
pail in one hand, while he clutched
the iron rail in the other, and held
his breath until he was dropped to
the bottom; then, at night, he went
back to the foot of the pit and board
ed the car to be taken again to the
top of the earth.
But this story is about Johnny,
so we have no time to tell more of
Owen, except that one day great
piece of rock broke off from the roof
of the chamber where he worked and
fell squarely upon him, crushing him
to death.
The miners took him to the. top of
the shaft and back to the little hut,
and consoled the helpless widow and
children as best they could, and then
followed him to the grave, and the
story of his hopes and struggles was
told.
Johnny was almost eleven when
they laid his father in the little con-
secrated ground and put the wooden
cross above his head. He was at
school the day the rock came down,
and had done so well that he was in
the third reader, and had reached
division" in the arithmetic.
Johnny's older brother was already
tending door in the mine, and his
Sisters were in the public school.
Some years before, wise good man,
seeing how scant was the miners in
come, had built lace miH.so that his
girls could earn something to help the
family along. So one night when the

PRESIDENT CONFIDENT OF
SUCCESS OF LIND MISSION

Mexican situation with Secretary of
State Bryan, which took place almost

turn to Washington from his summer
| home at Cornish. n. H, yesterday, re-
suited in increased confidence that John
Lind's mission to the southern republic
ultimately will.succeed. The President
| conferred with Mr.. Bryan at luncheon
at the White House
The President learned that within
| the last three days there have been
frequent interchanges of ideas between
| Spcial Envoy Lind and Foreign Min
lister Gamboa. 1t is assumed that the
communications have been transmitted
! through Charge OShaughnessy. OF the
American Embassy at Mexico City. in
view of the fact that in this time Lind
has been at Vera Cruz.
officials of the administration would
give no detailed information last night
on what these interchanges contained.
They declared emphatically that the re-
suit had greatly encouraged the Presi-
dent and his advisers into believing that
the end OF the Mexican imbroglic is I'm

be secured, however.
1t is believed here that at least one Of
the communications transmitted by Lind
~ Nf1Alboh was III AHt lldAulG VI q IGplg
to the Foreign Minister'S second note
TO the special envoy. In this note Gam
boa pointed out that the Mexican con-
stitution prohibited Gen. Huerta from
becoming a candIdaJe 10 succeed MN
self and intimated that the demand of
the United States that the Provisional
President pledge himself not to do this
was useless as well as insulting. The
Gamboa note was the most recent inter-
change between the two negotiators
which has been made public and II had
been assumed GrncTaIiy here that the
next move would be made by the United
States in answer TO this note.
A suggestion which was considered we'll
founded last night was that in the reply
of the United States to this note Pres-
dent Wilson informed Gen. Huerta that
he would regard the statement of the
constitutional inhibition as to a second
term as having been given in the spirit
of a pledge by the Mexican President.
Despite the fact that advisers OF the
President feared when the note was re-
ceived that II had been designed to leave
the way open for a ROoseveltian inter
probation of whatever pledge might have
been read into II, there were substantial
reasons yesterday for believing that the
President had expressed the opposite
view in the most recent communication
to the Mexican Minister.
1t was learned that the President re-
garded the Gamboa discussion of the de-
mand that Huerta should not be a can
didate in the October elections as mark
ing a distinct advancement of the Ameri-
can position. 1t developed that the Pres
ident was inclined to accept the Mexican
note in the spirit in which it purpOrted
to have been written, instead OF looking
too closely under the surface at this stage
of the negotiations.

COAL OPERATORS TELL
OF STRIKE TROUBLES
Company officials Testify Before Sen
ate Committee on Conditions in
West Virginia Fields.

The coal operators gave their side oi
the trouble in the West Virginia Goa
strike district before the Senate Investi.
The burden of their testimony was that
the trouble had been brought about by
attempts of the United Mine Workers
to unionize the Cabin Creek and Paint
Creek districts. Until these attempts
were made there had been no trouble
in the ccal fields.
NJ. 7. Davis, president OF the Cabin
Creek Consolidated Coal Company; r.
w. Davis, general manager of that COM
pany: r. V. Twohig. manager of the
stores of the company; E. W. knight,
OF Charleston. w. Va, attorney for the
operators, and Walter S. Wood. general
manager OF the Standard Splint Com
pany. were on the stand. The hearing
will be continued this morning.
NJ. T. Davis testified that the operators
had done everything in their power to
prevent the unionizing of the miners, and
after the strike had begun had made
every effort to protect their property
from destruction. He declared that the
mine owners had not brought machine
guns into the district until they had
been informed that the strikers had pro-
curd high-powered guns
Walter s. Wood testified that the mine
guard had not been used to terrorize
miners. He said that there had been no
violence until after strike-breakers had
been brought to the mines.

After that Is Expected One of the
Longest Congressional Grinds
in Record of United States.
THEN MONTHS VACATION

With summer practically over and
neither the tariff nor currency bills yet
passed, members Of the House are now
confronted with a long and weary grind
ahead OF them. Although predictions as
to when these bills will be finally dis
posed of vary greatly, there is the great
est unanimity OF opinion that Congress
will be in session at least two months
longer. This would bring the special
session of 1913 almost up to November L
That would give the statesmen a
months vacation before they start work
on what is considered will prove to be
one of the longest and most wearisome
sessions in years.
All the appropriation bills must be
passed, and it is agreed that the Con-
gress will have greater difficulty than
ever before in keeping the appropria-
tions for running the government within
bounds Already the estimates and re-
ports on what the government will cost
to operate during the fiscal year begin
ming July l, 1914, are being prepared.
Chiefs Of bureaus in the War Depart
ment. in the Navy Department. in the
Treasury Department, and all other
branches of the government are putting
the finishing touches on the reports for
the fiscal year that ended June 30.
There is little doubt that the appropri-
atoms for the next session will total
over $lo0,OO0.O0O. The estimates for abso-
luteIy necessary expenditures will be in
the neighborhood of a cold billion. Time
was not long ago when a billion-dollar

economists in Congress raised a great
outcry Now a billion-dollar Congress

daughter had sons they would be found
to be normal and color blind in equal
numbers
A curious anomaly with reference to
color blindness appeared in twin girls.
They were exactly alike in appearance,
but one girl was color blind and the
other not. No explanation Of this excep-
ton has been found.
Prof. Bateson said that there was a
popular belief that sons in certain re-
spects took after their mothers and
daughters after their fathers. Within a
reasonable range of speculation this was
so. As to sons taking after their mothers
they saw this in the experience Of their
own families.

Rome, Sept. 3.-The sensational theft
of a priceless and historic piece of jew

man was reported to the police today.
Prince Urossoff, of st. Petersburg, told
the police that while travelling from
Vienna TO Venice he fell in with a
young woman Of engaging manners,
and invited her to drink wine with
him. The prince was drugged, and
when he recovered he found he had
been robbed of a ring and a $500 watch.
The ring had been presented by Peter

Wren comes from a word which denotes
'rapine." Fish, though such an inno-

y wcighty Matters to Come Up.
In addition to apportioning little sum
Ike S1,IOO, OO.OOO or 81 2OO, OOOO, here are
some of the things that Congress will
do, or attempt to do, at the coming reg
ular session:
bill restricting immigration undoubt-
edly will be Tassed. n will be practical
ly the same measure that President Taft
vetoed at the last session, and which al
most got through Congress, despite the
Presidential disapproval.
There is clear majority in the House.
and in the Senate, as well, Of members
who voted for the bill that President
Taft vetoed. Therefore, friends OF the
bill argue, there should be no difficulty
in passing the bill next time. President
Wilson has given no indication OF how
he would act on such a bill. but it is be-
heved generally that he will sign the
measure. In some of his past writings.
the President las taken a strong stand
in favor of limiting immigration, and his
friends say he still holds that belief
The question of Philippine independence
will be taken up. 1t is expected that the
House will pass a bill giving the Philip
pine Islands limited independence for a
term of years, with provision for ultimate
self-gOvernment. The action of Congress
will depend much upon the attitude VI
Japan. II Japanese hostility crops out to
any great extent sentiment in favor of
the islands will increase. Pres
ent prospects are that the House viii
pass an independence bill. but whether
the Senate will follow suit is doubtful.
RuruI Credits Is One.
Antitrust legislation also will be taken
up. President Wilson has served notice
that he has some new ideas for control
ling the trusts and regulating them, and
the legislators are expecting some def
mite word from him on this question as
soon as Congress meets. The President
has not yet indicated along what lineJ
this new antitrust legislation s going
to be. An extension of the operations OF
the Sherman antitrust law is looked
for
Congress also will attempt to pass a
bill for the extension of agricultural
credits This means that Uncle Sam is
going to take an active part in helping
the farmer to finance his farm operations
by lending money on farm property s2d
the farmer to make his lard
more productive.
These are some of the more important
matters of legislation which will be
thrust upon Congress for consideration.
