WASHINGTON LETTER. (/♦'row our Regular (Correspondent.) Washington, July ~7, 1903. Editor Press:— The people of the United States did not require demonstration of the fact that their President is en tirely fearless or that he proposes to administer the affairs of the goverment with absolute justice, regardless of his own political for tunes, but they have received it in the courageous position assumed by the President with regard to the employment of union labor in the various departments of the goverment. The case of William Miller, an assistant foreman of the goverment printing office, called forth from the President the enun ciation of a policy which for fifty years no president has dared pro claim. This is to the effect that no discrimination shall lie made between union and 11011 -union labor in the employ of the Govern ment. Mr. Roosvelt cites the decision of the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission in support of his decision, the commission having decided that men in the coalmines must not be discriminated against because they were not members of a union. Miller was dismissed by the Pub lic Printer because he had been ex pelled from the Bookbinder's Union. Miller's crime was an at tempt to save money for the gov ernment by insisting 011 the per formance of more work than the union permitted his subordinates to do. It must be understood that the Bookbinder's Union in Wash ington precribed a limit to the amount of work which each man shall perform in a day. Finally, when Miller refused to the dicta tion of the union, he was expelled from its membership and immed iately discharged by the Public Printer for that reason, proceeding which Mr. Roosevelt characterizes as lacking in' 'elementary decency." The President promptly ordered Miller reinstated. This has been done. The bookbinders have now filed charges vriiii the Public Print er which they believe will prove ample to -warrant Miller's discharge but they have also is sued a statement to the effect that they cannot work in the office with Miller but will be compelled to strike if he is retained in his pre sent position. The unfortunate part of the situation is that the constitution of the union conflicts with the laws of the United States so that if the Public Printer should not find ground for discharging Miller he could not, according to law, dismiss him and the bind ers, according to the laws of their union, could not remain. If, again, the binders were to strike, they would be conspiring against the government and could 11 ever be reinstated without a change of the United States statutes by Con gress. What the outcome of this peculiar situation will be it is im possible to predict. 111 several similar instances previous Presi dents have dodged the issue and now that President lioos»velt has met it squarely there are many who believe it will not cost him the sensible labor vote of the coun try. The Government is still a little bigger than any union, whether of capital, or of labor, and sensible capitalists and laborers will see that it stays bigger. Mr. Gould on Prosperity. To those who facy that the ticker taps out the fates of industry a reading of the Pittsburg interview with George Gould is to be com mended. After an extended ob servation tour of the far and nearer west, Mr. Gould announces that projected improvements in sight will keep the coal, coke and steel industries bnsy for several years. It is only by traveling over the country, continues Mr. Gouid, that one realizes the vast amount of construction work in sight. And he concludes: "I cannot agree with the financiers who believe that the nation has reached its zenith of prosperity and that the fiscal year just ended marks the highest tide of our prosperity." Mr. Gould speaks only of railroad work, but in other lines in electric traction, in rebuilding the office CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 30, 1903.

Theatrical Pay Days. Every legitimate theater In Nevr York'has two p:ty days—union and non union. The union employees, wliich In clude tlie men in the orchestra, the stage hands, property men and stage carpenters, are paid, as their union reg Hlfltion.'; demand, on Satuydny night. The actors, who have no union, are not paid until Tuesday, although their week ends on Saturday with the night's per formance. Their salaries ore held up two days merely to Insure their reap pearance at the theater on Monday. If the company were paid off on Sat urdny night unreliable or disaffected members of the organization might not show up on Monday for rehearsal or the evening performance, thus weaken ing the production, but if the week's salary is held back they are reasonably sure to report on Monday in order not to lose wliat is coming to them. Ac. tors are distinctly temperamental nnd capricious, nnd If a manager were to pay off 011 Saturday night and there ex isted any temporary dissatisfaction In the company lie could never toll wheth er he would have a-chorus with which to open up the week on Monday even ing.—New York Press. The (IHKIII of Pyrofirrnphy. About h century ago an artist named Crouch was standing one day in front of a Are In his home at Axminster. Over the fireplace was an eaken man telpiece, and it occurred to Cranch that this expanse of wood might be im proved by a little ornamentation. ■ He picked up the poker, heated it red hot and began to sketch in a bold design. Tm- "vSuil Utai SO mucu ho elaborated his work and began to at tempt other ftre pictures on panels of wood. These met with a ready sale, and Cranch soon gave all his time to his new art. This was the beginning of what is now known as pyrograpliy. The poker artist of today uses many different shaped tools and has a special furnace in which they are kept heated. The art has been elaborated greatly. The knrrts, curls and fillers of the wooil are often worked into the design and delieote tinting produced by scorching Hie panel. Care Fnr tho Talking? Ilaliit. One part horse sense and two parts of manly determination to keep still. Mix well with an unlimited amount of the best quality of thought. It is impos sible for a woman to talk all the time without saying a lot of things that she shouldn't or without proving a jolly bore to everybody about her. This tat tling habflt is not confined entirely to women, though. Some men have the affliction terribly. Sometimes It's wheat, sometimes It's chess, some times it's baseball. A steady diet of one kind conversation Is always tire some. Take a nibble of this and a nibble of that, and your chatter will be more interesting, particularly if there are plenty of rests between nibbles. Talking improves when there's silence by way of contrast.—Philadelphia In quirer. Heaneat Trader* In the World. There la a colony of Syrian merchants In Kingston, the capital of Jamaica, who could give cards and spades even to the blaml Chinaman "for ways that are dark and tricks that are vain." They take one match out of every box they sell until they have enough match es to fill another lx>x and so make an extra cent. They shave tiny flakes off cakes of soap and boll tlieni down to make other cakes. They put a thin layer of molasses 011 the bottom of the scoop with which they serve rk-e so that a few grains will stick to the bot tom. These are only a few of their thousand tricks to turn a dishonest penny. Without doubt they are th<> meanest traders In the world. How PI (in (a He main Upright.

A Sailor of nrayery. What threatened to be one «112 tin* worst disasters in the history of ship ping was the burning of the Ocean Monarch. The fire was discovered in her fore hold an hour or two only after she left the Mersey. There was a strong biww, and she was headed for the Welsh coast. Ry tome unlucky accident an anchor was dropped, and the big ship was brought up all standing bend to the wind. The flames cam* roaring aft, whore COO passengers and crew wore crowded. A Brazilian frigate, a yacht and a pilot boat were near, but they only at tempted to pick up those who jumped and swam. Suddenly up came an American clipper and rounded into the wind barely 200 yards -away. In her first bont was Frederick Jerome, only an able seaman, but one of the bravest sonm*® that ever lived. In a flash his boat was alongside the burning ship, ami he climbed 011 deck amid the scorch nnd smother. There he stayed until the last soul of 000 was saved.

Ktli«»r Vibration*. The effect of movements in tho ether depends upon the rapidity of the vibra tions producing them. The unit of measurement for short waves in the ether Is the blcron, which is about one twenty-five millionth of an Inch. Waves measuring 3NO to .S3O blcrons affect our sense of sight, tho former number giv ing violet and the latter red color. The invisible rays, to which the actinic ami Roentgen rays belong, are shorter and have been measured as short as 100 blcrons. Ether waves longer than those giving light give the feeling of warmth. The longest heat waves are eight times the length of those ot' the red rays, or one three hundred and fif tieth of an inch. Medioal Peril*.
