on the following day, and we were glad to
obey him, for lone before mornine we got
mortally tired of lying on the floor of tbe
Huiashiya with only a futon between ui
End it, and oulv a paper slide between mal
and female. Fortunately, we knew what
we were riskiuc in tbe way of victuals, 10
we brought tupplics of the foods and drinks
befitting civilized stomachs. It was
rather mn at uihtftll watching the closing
up of the hotel. Firjfof all, they carefully
fixed a row of papf r shutters all around our
fitting room, aaifone up the middle to di
vide male aii,tl-female, and then they slid
"wooden slivrtters all round the outside, tbe
last cue" of utiieli hail a feeble wooden bolt
to-keep the whole from being opened. But
the whole affair ws .-o flimsy that it would
hare given way if a drunken man bad
reeled against it.
A tea house 01 a very different kind was
the Maple Club (Koyokwan) at Sbiba, tbe
most fashionable Japanese club, to which
every per-onage lrom the court downward
belouced. 1 ilon't think there are any sleep
ing rooms. The t.well Jap goes there to
banquet himself and look at dancing girls
and play at fox and geese (undera Japanese
name). V had a bauquet given us there,
tbe most unique thing in wbich I ever took
part. It began at -' o'clock in tbe afternoon
and ended about C. It cost me the skin of
my right hand and all its nails but one.
Take Your Best Momach Along.
The moment we alighted from our
'rikishas the pretty little musumes made us
sit down and took off our boots. Thev had
tbe maple leaf on their dresses, and con
ducted us up the uiapiewood stairs into a
maplcxrood double chamber, whose shoji
vcre beautifully painted w ith maple trees at
various seasons, and woodwork ornamented
with maple 1-ai piercings. The big, soft
silk futous (cushions) on which we sat were
ornamented with ra.ijile leaves, and tbe bean
flour wafers they brought us with the pre
liminary' cup of te i were maple leaves of
various tints. We were ranged lu a semi
circle, trying to squat on our futons in the
"second position" 01 rifle -shooters. "We
each had an hibacbi (chaicoal Cnger stove),
and a tall candle standing on the floor
in front ol us, though it was only
2 o'clock in the afternoon. When our
host clapped his hands a troop of little mil
Eumes, shoeless, in white stockings with
split toes, and vcrv picturesque cost nines.
shuffled in, carrving the three-footed red
lacquer trays ulncli contained the first
course of tbe banquet. I am not going to
describe the lood, .-s it makes me rather ill
lo think of it, but I remember the rapture
with which I found tin self the sole object of
attention to a demure little damask-cheeked
Oriental, who commenced operations un
touching the lionr with her forehead and
then squatted upon her haunches like a
puppy, to watch me eat, which I never did.
In flout of her she had a little saucer and a
bonl lull of warm Hater, and an Apollin-aris-shaped
bottle of hot sake. In theory,
Ehe would have to he pouring me out saucer
Jul niter saucerful ol hot sake, between each
drink dipping the saucer into the hot water
to cleanse antl warm it with tbe same
motion. Hut the first stopped
me. and I had tbe Philis
tine next to me sent for a bottle
nf beer, and then this Daniel produced lrom
his overcoat pocket a large paper of sand
tucbes, and we were independent ot the live
fish and the sea slugs and tbe salted plums
and the syruped potatoes and all the other
Hastinesses of the Japanese epicure, which,
by the by, we should have to eat with chop
sticks, always Berved joined together, to
show that they have never been used before.
You have to break them apart like those
Boston matches, wbich are called hell-something,
from their brimstoniness. Then there
-was a charming diversion. Pretty, exquis
itely dressed girl musicians entered tbe back
clumber with koto, biwa, and samisen, and
were followed by the famous mapledancers,
dressed in the most gorgeous brocades imag
inable, with everything down to the backs
of their fans and the tops of their hairpins
-xnapled.
An Accident and a Snrprise.
Toe plaintive, quaint twanging com
menced, and tbe fair dancers danced, as is
usual in Japan, witu everything Put their
feet They wriggled over at angles of about
"00 degrees, and exhausted tragedy aud
comedy with their fans, making the most
awful grimaces with their powdered, eye
browless, giit-lippcd faces, of the crane
necked, elongated, oval type considered so
aristocratic and lovely in Japan. I was
seized with a burning'desire lo photograph
them, unhmbered and got into position, with
my Kodak and flash-light cartridges. I lit
tbe fuse. Nothing seemed to happen, so I
took up the cartridge, when it went off with
the usual gun-accident promptness, remov
ing all the skin and four of the nails of my
right hand. In the midst of my pain I
couldn't help being amused as I saw the
dancers aud singers disappearing like rab
bits. They knew it was dynamite, but grad
ually the nerves or the establishment were
restored to a tone which enabled them
to bring oil and flour (I have al
ways been in the habit of burning my
hands since I was two years old, so I
knew what remedies to apply). Sweet little
musumes brought me all kinds of restora
tives, and piled up soft silt cushions behind
Tne and under my arms till it was like
sitting in an armchair, and then the prettiest
of all the performers knelt before me, and,
touching the ground with her forehead,
asked me through the interpreter it I was
-well enough to stand the rest of the per
formance. I answered "that the honorable
tnusio and dancing might go on," which it
did for the balance of tbe lour hours, with
an extra dance for my benefit at tbe end, and
then we went to onr 'rikishas, I escorted by
all the females in the establishment, players,
dancers and waitresses, carrying the ban
quet I had been nnable to consume done up
in seat little white wooden boxes. And
then tbe lamps were lit, and we darted off
into tbe darkness of the cryptomeria groves.
One thing remains to be told. About a
week afterward I received a series of ex
quisite photographs. The dancers, to ex
press their sympathy, had had themselves
specially photographed in full costume and
in the attitudes of dancing on purpose
for me.

A Farmer Gives His Idea of tbe Kind
of a Road Law Wanted,
FAULT IS THE COMMISSION BILL.
A Presentation of the Strikers' Side of
Coke Trouble.
the
IXFOEMATIOX FUR EAGEK INQUIRERS
To tbe Editor of The Dispatch:
The Harrisburg correspondent of The
Dispatch says the road bill will lead to
endless discussion in the House, that a
strong feeling is being worked up against
its passage in the country districts, much of
which, if not all, is baseless, that the talk
of increasing taxation and salaried officials
has no louudationin fact, that tbe measure
in place of being radical is very conserva
tive, and that the talk is designed to scare
timid members. Such an eclipse must have
come from a pretense or corporate ally, as
it labors to cover, over the facts the bill
plainly sets forth. For the facts let us look
up the former proceedings. Two years ago
a law was enacted autboiizing tbe Speaker
ot tbfc Senate to appoint 3 .commis
sioners, the Speaker of the House 5 and
the Governor 5 high-salaried privates, with
hotel, stationery and traveling expenses,
amounting to many thousand dollars, to
inquire of the farmer how to make good
roads. Alter tbe frolio was over, a bill was
formulated creating a two-horse load of
township officials, tbe supervisors to get no
pay, aud handle no money, but subject to a
bign-salaried superior county civil engineer
to lay the roads off into highways and
common roads.
Let the engineer start at the first of April
and he could not view the ten thousaud
mud boles in a county iu time to instruct the
supervisors, if it was possible be had such a
capacity. This one official is sufficient to absorb
the township's pro rata ol the Stato 51,000,000
appropriation, oi wuicn tue tanner pays sa per
cent of 3" better let the farmer solve his own
geometrical problems and equations when bis
buy and ox get in the mudbole. Ol course he
could not make such a nice draft of bills, and
Iilats at bichways to send up to tbe Secretary of
nternal Affairs, where it would take a host ot
clerks to record the designs and expenses.
If the Harrisburg correspondent and the
Road Commission can't fatboin tbe bill's super
ficial, worthless and unnecessary expenditures,
it is because it is tangled up in its own intrica
cies. Tho bill has plenty of longitude, but no
common sense a baby of the stovepipe hat cor
poration order. I live on a farm, and empha
size the fact that a uniform road law Is demand
ed, as many plans of repairs are inadequate.
Many townships call out the taxpayers with
pick and shovel to do tbe repairs and talk; some
townships never drain or turu water off, but
spend ail tax in pilirg stone in the mud holes,
and in a short time the stone has sunk anay in
the wet ground, while a mudbole is found at
each end of tbe stoning. Here the tax
Is live times as high aa in townships where
good roadbeds are formed and well drained.
The best system is the McKean. The road is
laid off in halt-mile sections and sold to the
lowest bidder, to be kept in repair for threo
years with definite specifications to be entered
in the book ol contracts. This allows the far
mer to ork out his taxes or pay iu money, 'this
law is efficient aud economical where there is
no negligence. A section added to this law al
lowing anv interested citizen to correct tho
township audit on the section not repaired ac
cording to the specifications, with power to sub
let tbe contract, aud to deduct tbe cost from
the supervisors' salaries at tbe annual settle
ment, would make tne law compulsory, and all
any law can be.
The farmer's natural resources gives him am
ple protection, but he tails when it comes to
legislation, and then to set forth in a preamble
that bois only a pre tender endowed with obscure
wajs, is sliimelul. Honesty is tbe best policy,
aud truth is mighty and must prevail. The
farmer should wake up when the sun shines
and look alter merit, caudor, integrity, fidelity
and faithful responsibility if he expects to be
represented, and as for macadams and street
car rails there is no nisney, and ne bad better
drop tbe egotist and office hunter. There is
about as much use for tbe man In the moon to
repair common roads as there is for superior of
State and county officials. A little common
sense Is worth more than money in making
good roads, a high, round and smooth road bod,
so the water will run ofl; aud whore tho ground
is wet, deep water tables and under drainage,
and stone where necessary, fills tlie bill.

Tus Statement or a Striker,
To tlio Editor or Tho Dispatch:
Seeing an article In The Dispatch In which
you say the miners have your sympathy in the
present struggle if they refrain from using vio
lence, I felt encouraged to ask you for a small
space in your valuable paper to explain tbe
true position of affairs in this part ot tbe coke
region, as they have been sadly misrepresented
by tbe operators and their minions, not only at
the present time, but since tbe strike began.
The cause of tbe strike was the determina
tion of the men to resist a reduction of 10 per
cent. Now. it is generally understood, I be
lieve, that ihe Connellsviile miner is well paid.
Yet how this misunderstanding prevails I am
at a loss to know, for I have been working in
the mines since 9 years of age. and I can truly
say the miner of tbe Connellsviile region is tbe
worst paid workmen I know of. For fear any
of our readers may doubt my statement I uifl
give some figures which do not lie. These
figures have been collected at tbe Standard
No. 2 works for the year 1890, and speak elo
quently for themselves. For 18!0 there were -11
days worked, making an average of 20 days
per month, the average wages of tho uigger
being 1 40, an average ot 9.1.5c per day f jr .'.65
dajs. Deductions for rent and tools of 25.9c
per day leaven CT.Oc per day. About 3 cents
per day for coal leaves tii.Sc per day as net
earnings on which to keep a family and pro
vide all the necessaries of life. Tbe net earn
ings of diggers, living in cheaper houses,
amounts lo 70.7 cents per day.
Net earnings of drivers ana roadmen 1 1 12
Net earnings of drivers aud roadmen 1 19
Net earnings of inside laborers 95c
Net earnings of inside laborers 102.3c
Net earnings of trappers 5G.Sc
Not earnings of coke drawers 78.7c
Net earnings of coke drawers 83 6c
These are figures that cannot be. denied, and
are a fair average of all the mines in this coke
region. If they appeal not to the stmpathy of
an impartial public, then goodby to justice. Is
It any wonder, then, that we are resisting a re
duction of 10 per cent off tho above prices, as
coke, too. was selling before tbe strike at from
$2 25 to 3 per ton? The dicger must work ten
hours per day. or more. He must dig bis coal,
load it, lay track and do bis posting, and is re
munerated for all this labor by the paltry sum
ot SI 49 per day, not speaking of tbe danger lie
must undergo. Yet. in tbe face of this, tbe
operators demand a reduction.
Mr. Editor. I appeal to all lovers nf fair play
If this is not the most glaring act of injustice
imaginable. An act that could nut be excelled
by tbe Government of despotic Russia.
In conclusion, I would say that we on!y ask
for a true representation in the daily press, and
we are assured of victory. Many woiks re
ported by tbe operators to be working aro still
idle so far as the men are concerned, there only
being a few bosses working and a little smoke
mado at some of the ovens to delude tho men.
Tbe workmen are prepared to hear such re
ports lrom tbe operators, and are determined
that their struggle, being a just one, they shall
continue it until it is crowned with victory.
Honing you will give this a place, I am, by
order of Local Assembly 297, 11 u Pleasant,
A striker.
Tbe above was written before tbe fatal col
lision, but pressure of news prevented earlier
publication.
A Chance for the Charitable.
To the Editor of The Dls patch:
Will you please lay tbe following appeal before
your readers: It has been demonstrated that
deaf children can be taught speech and lip read
iug. be educated and be enabled to communicate
with their families aud friends through the.
same, and a number of pore oral schools lor
such instruction are in existence in the United
btatcs. To the complete success of tbe method,
however, It is necessary that these deaf chil
dren should be guided and trained to speech
lrom tho age when bearing children begin to
learn to talk.
As the tnaiorltv of these children are Door.
and as all mothers, even of those who are not
poor, do not understand bow to train tbem to
speech, M Fuller, principal or tbe Horace
Mann Dr.y School for -tho Deaf (pure oral),
Boston, 'stablishcd two years ago, a home for
tbe training In speech of deaf children before
they are of school age. Uhe necessary fumli
for commencing the good work in New Eng
land were raised by tbe mother of a success
fully tralnrd dtafcblhl. The children are, of
course, under tbe care of persons specially
trained for that purpose, and their progress
already aires great encouragement.
Miss Fuller, who bis been Principal nf the
Horace Mann Day School for tbe Deaf for
liiany years, sas: "Does it aot saemamost
unaccountable that the earliest years or deaf
children's lives have been bo lontr overlooked
lu the plans for ilitif mental development?"
It is proposed to establish In the Middle States,
as speedily as possible, such a borne as Mist
Fuller has established in New England, aud
tbe public are earnestly requested to con
tribute to the Endowment Fund required for
the iam. Subscriptions may ba lent to

To the Editor or Tbe Dispatch:
Allegheny a city of the second class. That
sounds pretty nice; but I think that that part of
Its wharfs and River avenue lying between An
derson and Morgan streets would disgrace a
country village. The last flood left a deposit of
rubbish that will create disease if left much
longer. It has been there now for nearly two
months. There can hardly be any excuse for
so long a delay in having it removed. The at
tention of tbe authorities has been called to it
once at least that I know of; but I suppose they
are too busy trying on their new dresses to at
tend to the needs of us poor mortals. Now, if
tbe Chief of Public Highways will call around
soon and clean this place up, he will gain the
everlasting gratitude of a lew citizens.

Some fractional currency may have been in

destroyed. Silver currency was freely circu

Kenton, O., April 10. "William Biles,
who murdered Policeman Harper on Tues
day night of last week, was taken from jail
by a mob of about 50 men at 2 o'clock this
morning and hanged to a tree nearby. Tbe
mnb gained entrance to the jail br breaking
down tbe door. The noise awakened Sheriff
Neville, who rushed down stairs with a re
volver. A doz:n men met him at the foot
of the stairs and thrust four revolvers in his
face, demanding the jail keys, saying they
wanted to get Bales to haug him.
The Sheriff refused to get tbe keys, not
having them with him. The mob found the
keys in an adjoining room, opened the jail
doors, secured Bales, and gave him only
time to put on his pants and a pair of slip
pers. Tbey then took him out and banged
him to a maple tree on AVayne street, near
North street, about 50 yards from the jail.
The mob. was well organized, and-all wore
black masks except one, wbich was white,
and was worn apparently by the leader.
Not more than 20 minutes elapsed lrom the
time the door was broken open till Bales
was dangling between earth and sky. He
did not make any outcry, uud only groaned
a few times while leaving the jail cell.
Sentinels guarded all approaches leading to
tbe jail. Nobody was allowed to approach
nearer than a square.
The mob dispersed as quickly and silently
as ii gawereu, an going iu Qinereut direc
tions. Nobody saw the hanging except the
lynchers. Some guarded the Sheriff, while
others stood on the street corners and stopped
pedestrians lrom approaching. Who the
mob were and where theTy came from is a

GLEANINGS FROM CHURCH FIELDS
The following editorial note from this
week's United Presbyterian is well put.
"Tho time was when a minister was sure to
be honored becanse of his office, but that
time has passed. Bespeet for ministers who
are worthy of respect has not passed away;
they were never more respected than at pres
ent. If a minister would be loved and
revered be must be a true man and a
Christian gentleman. If be is not, his cler
ical coat will not shield him from dis
honor." In tbe long run ministers snd all
will receive the respect to which they are
entitled., Trne worth is sure to win, how
ever much it may be clouded for a time. In
tbe 'fountain head of Presbyterianism,
namely Scotland, tbe Lord's anointed is
treated with greater deference, perhaps,
than anywhere on tbe eartb. The -minister
there, once he ba's a charge, ranks with the
nobility in the.popular sentiment
Scotland is tbe paradise of preachers.
The American idea places ministers on tbe
tame level with all, and pays deference only
to the minister who is worthy of deferenee.
After all, the true minister cannot object to
the American sentiment, whioh requires
that the Lord's anointed shall prove their
title clear to respect before it is accorded.

TOWN GOVERNMENT.
A LETTER TO Y0UNQ CITIZENS BY AN
ILLUSTRIOUS AUTHOR.
New England's Famous Institution and IU
Primitive German Origin An Excellent
Training for Orators and Debaters in
Embryo Benefits ot the Town Meeting:
WBITTEJt FOR THB DISPATCH.
John Adams is the author of the much
cited statement that American government
rests on four corner stones the town meet
ing, the church, the militia and the school.
The statement,is philosophical and sugges
tive. It should always be cited, particularly
by writers in Europe, with a distinct under
standing of what we mean by tbe words
town, churcb, militia and school.
For a New England town and it was of
this that John Adams spoke is not a town
in tbe English sense. A .New EDgland
church is not an English church. Tbe New
England militia is not the English militia,
and the New England school is not the
English school.
The American Town Defined.
The difference rests in this that ia each
of the four cases, the New England "corner
stone" represents all the people, good, bad
and indifferent, rich and poor, wise and
foolish. In England, or on the continent of
Europe, each represents one or more classes,
but not all. For instance, the English
militia is not an assemblage of all tbe
people in a given district able to bear arms.
And if we speak of an English town, we
mean, not all the people ol a certain dis
trict, but all the people who live iu houses
contiguous to each other.
The younger American writers of our own
time have been occupying themselves with
tbe historical question, whether in New
England tbe government of the State made
the towns, or whether the towus made the
State. I believe it is thought that De
Tocqueville overstated the autocracy of tbe
town meeting, and that, historically, ns
each modern town has derived its power to
be from the State, it has bad doled out by
the State such power to act as it has used.
1 doubt, however, whether anv of the
founders of towns iu Massachusetts in the
seventeenth century or iu the eighteenth,
would have taken much interest in such a
discussion. And they would have been
amused, but not much edified, if they had
been told that the germ of their town meet
ings was to be fouud in German forests or iu
the institutions of Alfred.
The Primeval German Origin.
Whoever reads their chronicles will find
a great deiil of what their successors call
"horse seuse'involyiug ability to deal with
practical problems. But he will find very
little analysis by themselves of the origin
of their powers.
Certain things were to be done. They
were there to do tbem. .Their united power
represented tbe maximum of power for the
doing of tbose things. Nobody else would
help them no king, no parliament, no gen
era! court. If they did not build the
bridge, make the road, or hire tbe school
master or the clergyman, buy the musket
or the match, nobody else would do it
Accordingly, whether the general court
told them they might do these things or not,
they did them, if they could and wanted to.
If they did not, they did not. And in gen
eral this ha3 been the rule till very recent
times. For instance, the city ot Boston
wauted to open free baths, and it opened
them without asking leave of anybody. If
the boys need an unmolested coast on the
Common, tbe city builds bridges over the
coast, and asks no leave of any one. And,

s
the courts, in one or tw very stiff deoisions,
hare confined tbe rights of towns to do as
much as they chose, if what they did served
tbe general welfare.
In historical fact, the settlers -of Massa
chusetts were already grouped more or less
distinctly when they arrived at their
new homes. Tbe groups acted for their
local purpotes, while they recognized the
authority of the General Court lor general
purposes.
Authority of tho Selectmen.
Tte name. that each group gave its officers
showed whence their authority came. They
were "selectmen," men who had been set
over them. There is in the records of the
General Court no trace of authority to
choose these selectmen. They were selected
by just the same authority as would have
selected the men to carry timbers lor a
bridge.or to yoke the oxen when "the town"
was building or mending its highways.
Somebody must do certain things, and the
town selected the men who should do tbem.
From this common-sense way of managing
affairs there grew up an admirably elastic
but strong way system of local adminis
tration. If a town could have a school open
all tbe year, it bad it. But if it could only
open the school 20 weeks, it did that; if it
could carry jt 30 weeks, it did that. If it
can build an iron bridge over a stream, it
does; it it can only have a log bridge, it has
that; if it must be satisfied with a ford, why
it must be and is. One has only to compare
this with tbe delay and annoyance, with the
"fuss nud feathers" belonging to French ad
ministration, where a central bureau must
report about tbe stream, and a plan for the
bridge must be sent down from Paris, to see
why tbe New Englander hates centralization
more than is really wbe, in his conscious
ness that on the wholj "there is no manure
like the foot of the owner," and that, in
general, people should be left to manage
their own affair?.
As a school for government, tho town-
meeting has proved itself invaluable. The
States which never looked kindly on it bave
suffered more than they know for the lack
of such a school.
A Logical and Oratorical Training.
There is no training lor debate or oratory
equal to that where people who know each
other are to be convinced, and where words
are weigbed by a standard balance wbich
pays fit regard to the real worth of him who
utters them. The proud bov who is per
mitted to drive his father down to tbe
meeting, learns lessons of government there
which no textbook could teach him. He
fastens tbe horse in the town shed. He goes
into the meeting-bouse and takes his modest
place on the side seats, while tbe elders and
other leaders confer in front. The moderator
is chosen, the warrant is read. The select
men say what they have done and why, and
what they have left undone and why. Every
grumbler there has bis rights, and may
talk. They have their rights, also, and they
may derend their policy, their characters
and their administration. In that cross-fire,
in the discussion of details, or ia the con
sideration of principles, the boy learns, both
of methods and of realities, lessons which he
cannot gain elsewhere.
Rings cannot exist where the town meet
ing holds its own. If the mayor oi a city
chooses to be treasurer of aa electric light
company, he may enrich himself and ruin
his reputation by tbe contact which, as
mayor, he makes with himself as treasurer.
But this could not be if you bad a town
meeting. The sekctman has to appear in
person and answer all questions.
"I should like to know why tbe granite
for the curbstone was taken from White
Hill, and not :ro the town ledge?" The
man who took the granite must stand up and
say wbv. Woe to him if he cannot stand
that ordeal.
I have been glad to know that one, at
least, of the thriving towns of the Western
Reserve in Ohio has considered seriously the
question of introducing the town meeting
proper in its methods of home administra
tion. Eiiward Everett Hale.

General Serfel Likes Railroading lo
the
South Better Than Here.
General G. M. Serfel, of Norfolk, regis
tered at the Monongahela House yesterday.
Formerly the General was Master of Trans
portation for the 'old Pittsburg and Con
nellsviile road, but in 1881 be went South
to engage in the lumber business. He also
returned to railroading and became General
LManagei'ot the Norfolk and Carolina road,
wnicn connects witn tne Atlantic coast line
system.
"Railroad business is much easier to
handle in the South than in the North, and
I have no desire to return," he said. "We
have so much room down there, while here
you are badly cramped. The Baltimore
and Ohio ought to own all thegrouud along
the river to Glcnwood, but in the early days
the wonderful growth ot the city was not
foreseen. The land couldn't be bought now.
It would swamp the road."
Mr. Serfel is interested in the McClure
Coke Company, and he came North to be
posted on the situation. He says tbe de
mand for coke at present is so poor lhat it
hardly pays to start the works. He thinks
the labor troubles will soon be amicably set
tled. Mr. Serfel yesterday renewed his ac
quaintance with Baltimore and Ohio offi
cials, who were glad to see him.
