STRIKE LOOMS UP ON ERIE
New York, Nov. 12.—The general
condition of unrest among working:
men because of the high cost of liv-
ing has brought to this city represen-
tatives of several railroad brother-
hoods. They are determined to secure
for their members what, they say, is
an increase of wages commensurate
with the prosperity of which the great-
est corporation managers have been
boasting.
Conferences held were for the most
part futile and the men are in a re
bellions mood because of the glowing
reports received from the western
mining regions and the statement
made in this city that the steel trust
would probably announce an advance
this week. The 12,000 employes of the
mines and smelters in Montana were
announced to have been granted a
wage increase of 26 cents a day start-
ing next Thursday, it having been or-
dered by H. H. Rogers, of the Amalga-
mated Copper company.
This prosperity in the steel trade
has been reflected in the remarkable
increase of railroad earnings. With
the knowledge that for two years
more the tariff and its highly-protect-
ed industries will be in the hands of
“friends,” the railroad brotherhoods
believe they are justified in asking a
wage increase either directly or
through shorter hours, with the same
pay scale as at present.
The most important meeting was
that of President Underwood, of the
Erie, and his firemen. They had been
turned down by General Manager
Stuart and had then made an appeal
direct to the president of the road.
He talked with the committee a few
minutes and then declined to grant
the proposed reduction of working
hours, saying that it meant a 10 per
cent. advance for 1600 men. He de-
clared they had done wrong to bring
the matter before him after having
seen the general manager, and, fur
thermore, said the road's finances did
not justify the increase.
Grand Master John J. Hannahan, of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Firemen,
then said that the men on the road
would be polled to determine whether
or not there should be a strike. Fe
insisted that thre Erie pays its firemen
less than any of the three competing
roads to the west—the Pennsylvania,
the New York Central and the Balti-
more & Ohio. Members of the com-
mittee who went with him to the con-
ference said they thought a strike was
imminent.
At a conference between President
W. H. Truesdale, of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western, and a com-
mittee of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, including Grand Chief
Warren H. Stone, the engineers were
granted a 10-hour day and increases
in wages aggregating for the 900 engi-
neers $30,000 to $35,000 a year.
Committees representing the engi-
neers of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford and the New York Central
railways met to discuss the demands
they are to make upon these two lines
for higher wages and shorter hours of
labor.
The poll of the locomotive firemen
of the Erie railroad, which is being
taken for the purpose of determining
whether or not to rezort to a strike in
an endeavor to enforce their demands,
according to Grand Master Hannahan,
of the firemen's organization, resulted
in an almost unanimous vote in favor
of a strike, so far as returns have been
received.
KILLED BY PET DEER
Wealthy Flour Exporter, of Montclair,
N. J., Fatally Gored.
New York, Nov. 12.—It was defi
nitely established at Montclair, N. J.,
that a pet buck deer killed Herbert
Bradley, a wealthy flour exporter,
whose dead body was found on
the preserves at his home there.
Deputy County Physician Siinmons, of
Orange, found that Mr. Bradley’s death
was due primarily. to the deer’s rip-
ping open an artery in his hip. The
horns of the buck, the largest one
belonging to Mr. Bradley, and his spe-
cial pride, were found to be covered
with blood. The animal also attacked
him with his hoofs.
Enjoying His Trip.
Washington, Nov. 12. — According
to wireless messages received at the
White House from the battleship
Louisiana, President Roosevelt and
.
party are experiencing fine weather
and greatly enjoying the trip.
A message was picked up at 4.58
a. m. Sunday by the station at Dry
Tortugas, Fla., reading as follows:
“Weather excellent. Everything go-
ing well. Louisiana and convoys
steaming southward in column. The
President and Mrs. Roosevelt are
greatly enjoying the trip, spending a
great deal of time on deck.”
Aged Couple Asphyxiated.
Easton, Pa., Nov. 10.—Mr. and Mrs,
Henry Seibel, octogenarians, who lived
alone on Northampton street, in the
heart of a busy and populous section
of the city, were asphyxiated. The
aged woman was dead when found by
neighbors and her husband was un-
conscious. He is in the hospital and
the physicians have little hope of his
recovery. An examination of a gas
range in the kitchen revealed the fact
that a cock had been left partly open
and through this means the gas es-
caped.
WiLL PROSECUTE oi TRUST
Government Will Try to Dissolve
Standard As It Now Exists.
Washington, Nov. 13.—While no au
thoritative, statement could be ob
tained in regard to the matter, there
is good reason to believe that the gov
ernment has decided to institute pro
ceedings against the Standard Oi
company under the Sherman anti
trust act, with a view of obtaining ar
order of the court dissolving the com
pany as it now exists and restoring tc
each of the 75 or 80 constituent com:
panits its proportionate share of the
stock and also compelling the observ
ance of the law inhibiting them from
entering into any contract, agreement
or understanding with each other with
a view to maintaining prices on oil.
JOHN MITCHELL RENOMINATED
Mine Workers’ Leader Will Not Retire
From Union.
Indianapolis, Nov. 13.—All doubts as
to whether President Mitchell intends
continuing as president of the United
Mine Workers of America or not have
been set at rest by the announcement
that Mr. Mitchell has been rencminat:
ed for the office, and that he will per
mit his nomination to stand.
$500,000 Fire at Scranton.
Scranton, Pa., Nov. 10. — Fire de
stroyved the Carter & Kennedy building
in this city, which is occupied by the
Foote & Shear company, one of the
largest hardware firms in Northeast:
ern Pennsylvania, and J. Scott Inglis
a carpet and furniture dealer. The to
tal loss is estimated at $500,000. The
building was a six-story structure and
recently built. The blaze was discov:
ered in the basement of the hardware
store, and in a few minutes had ex
tended to the roof. So fierce was the
conflagration that there were fully 100
small fires on the roofs of adjoining
buildings which were quickly extin-
guished.
Two Killed ‘By a Train.
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 12. — George
Strohecker and Paul Meyer, brothers.
in-law, while walking on the tracks ot
the Pennsylvania railroad on their
way to a cemetery to visit the graves
of relatives, were struck by an ex
press train, Strohecker being instantly
killed and his body horribly mangled,
and Meyer dying, without regaining
consciousness, about an hour after
the accident, which occurred a short
distance from Carroll station, near the
city.
Stands On Steeple to Win $25 Bet.
Mahanoy City, Pa., Nov. 12.—Hand:
over-hand Gus Siek, a young miner, to
win a bet of $25, climbed 160 feet to
the top of St. Joseph's church steeple
here and stood upright upon the bars
of the gilder cross.
What we call despair is often only the
painful eagerness of unfed hope.—

small boy as she paused in the disci-
plinary slipper exercise, “what made

“'C-cause,” sobbed Tommy, “you

She Got the Blessing.
“That young groom,” sald the minis.

“Yes,” said his wife, with her hand
out, “it is more blessed to give than to
receive.” —Exchange.

CARDINALS’ HATS.
They Are Never Worn and Are Not
Intended to Be Worn.
The most famous hat in the world is
never worn and is not intended to be
worn. Yet it is not a freak hat or
merely a hat turned out to show what
a certain factory can do. It is the car
dinal's hat, the symbol of a cardinul’s
dignity in the Catholic church, and so
completely is it the mark of that dig-
nity that “to receive the hat” is every-
where used as meaning that a person
has been advanced to the cardinalate
of the Roman church,
The cardinal’s hatyis of scarlet cloth
lined with scarlet silk. It is round and
very flat, with practically no depth
and no place to fit on the crown of the
head. On each side of what serves as
a crown are red silk cords, holding fif-
teen red bell shaped tassels. These
hang down on either side of where the
cardinal’s cheeks would be if he could
wear his hat and are arranged in five
rows, the first row having one ball, the
second row two balls, the others three,
four and five respectively.
To confer this hat calls for a stately
ceremony. If the newly chosen cardi-
nal lives out of Italy a papal ablegate
is sent to him to confer the red berretta
and the pall, but he does not receive
the hat except from the pope himself.
When the new cardinal reaches Rome,
which he must do within a year after
he receives the berretta, the pope ap-
points a day for actually conferring
the hat. A public consistory is held,
attended by the pope and by all the
cardinals in Rome; mass is sung, the
new cardinal lying flat on his face
while prayers and lessons are read;
then he is led by two attending cardi-
nals back to the hall of the consistory,
where with many prayers the pope
himself rests the hat on his head, say-
ing:
“Receive this red hat. It signifies
that even to death and the shedding of
blood thou shouldst show thyself in-
trepid for the exaltation of the holy
faith, the peace and repose of Chris-
tian people, the increase and mainte-
nance of the holy Roman church.”
Then the cardinal kisses the pope's
foot, and his holiness retires. The car-
dinal then exchanges the kiss of peace
with all the other cardinals, who then,
turn by turn, make visits of congratu-
lation to him as he sits in his chair.
This red hat was given first in 1245
by Innocent IV. at the council of Lyon.
Even when a cardinal gets his hat it is
of no use to him so long as he is alive.
Only after his death is it used. It may
be permissible, but not importantly
useful, to wonder where it is kept
meantime, but at the cardinal’'s death
it is brought out.and laid on his emi-
nence’s bier, at his feet, and when the
funeral and entombment are over the
red hat is hung up over the place of
interment in the cathedral church.—
