of trada asklnu tho Scranton board to
Join In tho protest against the passage
of tho bill repealing- the fellow em
ploye's liability act.
The law at present exonerates nn
employer from responsibility for an in
Jury to his employe that results from
tho negligence of a fellow employe.
The bill now before the legislature con
templates tho repeal of that law by
placing employes on the same footing
with outside parties.
Tho board discussed the bill at
length and when It v,as recn that tho

islature, entlUed "An not to give all
employes of any person, ilrm, company
or corporation, doing business In this
state, the same rights as nre now on
Joyed by persons not so employed,' and
'Whereas. In the opinion of this board
the purpose and effect of tho said 1)111,
If enacted, would bo to disturb the law,
as It has been established upon prin
ciples of equity and Justice for a great
many yeais, and would be advetse to
an enlightened public policy, and would
tend to discourage tho extension of In
dustries already established nnd to pre
vent the introduction of new Industries
nnd the investment of capital in this
state, therefore
Resolved, That in the opinion of th's
board the best interests of tho com
monwealth require that the said bill

RECIPROCITY WITH FRANCE.
The American Chamber of Commerce
of Paris a Strong Advocate of It.
Washington, March 22. Henry Pear
tree, president of tho American Cham
ber of Commerce of Paris, has had
talks with Ambassador Cambon, of
France, and Mr. Kasson, special recip
rocity commissioner, regarding the
Franco-American reciprocity treaty
now In course of negotiation. Tho
American chamber at Paris represents
those most directly connected with the
trade between the two countries, the
extensive producers, dealers, Importers
and exporters), mainly Americans, with
some Frenchmen. To a man, Mr. Pear
tree says, they hope to see a broad nnd
liberal policy of reciprocity between tho
two countries, as it is certain to devel
op a large American market in France.
Ho points out that the present time is
most opportune for such extension of
trade, for tho two-fold reason that tho
United States is reaching out to se
cure tho markets of the world, nnd
that the exposition of 1900 will afford
an opportunity to show to France nnd
to all I3uropo what great resources tho
United States has in the way of pro
duction. Mr. Peartrpc expresses himself as
hopeful of seeing a treaty realized out
of the present negotiations, although
there arc many differences to be ad-
Justed.

become loyal to the United States.
HAVANA QUIET TODAY.
Citizens Nervous, However Gen.
Brooke Reports No Trouble.
Havana, March 22. Havana is quiet
this morning. An example of the sup
pi essed state of excitement prevailing
occurred last night In tho cafe of tho
Hotel Inglaterra. A thief stole two
hats and ran away. The commotion
which followed alarmed the crowd
present, and many men immediately
drew revolvers and btartcd for the
doors. The police, however, succeeded
in quietly dispersing the assemblage.
Washington, March 22. The wat de
partment lias no information concern
ing the disturbances In Havana. It Is
said that General Brooke has not be
lieved them to be of sulilclent Import
ance to report to tho department. For
that reason the troubles are not re
garded as serious, and aro not taken
to mean that thero is any revolt against
tho American government in the Island,
but simply disorders that might occur
anywhere.
HOW CUBANS WERE COUNTED.
Gen. Brooke and Gen. Gomez Ap

Washington, March 22. Tho manner
In which the number of troops in the
Cuban army was ascertained was
thiough a Joint commission appointed

THIS SHELL GAME
HAS MONEY IN IT
GOOD
PROFIT IN DREDGING
FOR CLAMS.
Tho Raw Material from Which Pearl
Buttons Aio Made An Industry
Which Has Increased Groatly of
Recent Years Along the Missis
sippi River.
In the last few seasons along tho
Mississippi river a peculiar industry
lias assumed large proportions. In a
number of towns between La Grange,
Mo., and Lansing, Iowa, hundreds of
men have been employed in the dredg
ing and tho preparing for market of
what is commonly known ns tho mus
sel or clam shell, Herotoforo they have
been looked upon by all observers ns
practically useless, except as bric-a-brac,
but their use a3 material for but
ton making has made them a commod
ity in commercial circles.
Buttons, pins and other ornaments
made out of the shell of the Mississippi
mussel are found in all parts of tho
world. The pearls which ate found In
these mussels ate popular among Jew
elers, and some command handsome
prices.
Tho man dredging for shells has a
largo boat built especially for the pur
pose, which ho nllows to float down
stream gently, while ho rakes tho lied
of the river for tho shells, all of which
ho sorts immediately after taking them
out of the water, tossing back those of
nn value and throwing tho remainder
In a basket. Tho shells aro afterward
boiled in largo vessels on the banks of
the river, then re-sorted nnd shipped
to tho markets, oftentimes by-tons and
car loads.
THE DIPFDRHNT VARIETIES.
Of tho thirty different varieties found
In tho Mississippi, there aro two col
ors, white and pink. Tho white shells
aro tho only ones used for button
making, the pink having too many dif
ferent shades, which could never bo
matched In color. Tho most numerous
sort Is known In the clam digger's par
lance as "the nigger head." These aro
tho best for the making of buttons; the
shell Is of only ono shade of white and
Is very easily sorted. Another kind
very similar to the 'nigger heads" are
known as "muckets." These are thick
and opaque, and do not sustain a very
high polish. In shape both resemble
the salt water clam; tho weight is
about one-third of a pound. Out of a
shell of this size can bo made one
dozen sixtcen-llne buttons, which ordi
narily sell for from 15 to 10 cents per
dozen, so tho valuo of tho large-sbo
mussel, after It has undergone the re
fining process and tho saws have made
buttons out of it, can be approximated.
The hlghcht price which tho dredger
receives for tho variety known as tho
"nigger head" in tho winter months is
about 80 cents per hundredweight. The
shells bring the highest prices in the
winter months, because they are hard
to procuio on account of the ice. In
the height of the summer season, when
all the dredgers along the river are at
work, the price is often as low us 23
cents per hundredweight.
The first varieties named grow In
beds, which sometimes cover 400 to 500
acres and aro from four to eight feet
deep. They have no way of locomotion
and are compelled to stay in a place of
creation. They multiply, ono on top of
the other, until they reach within two
feet of tho surface of tho water, at low
water mark. The beds Is always In
deep water and in protected places,
such as the mouth of a bay or slough,
THE SAND SHELL.
Another variety, known among clam
diggers as the elite of tho clam family,
is the "sand shell," which Is not found
In beds, but travels around on sandy
beaches and sloping mud banks, and
in the spawning season, which is May,
it has the power to make itself buoyant
and float off with the cuirent. In
shape it resmbles the ordinary long
pocket book; In color It Is on tho out
side yellow and ten different bhades
on the inner side. This varied color
makes It dlillcult to sort the buttons
made from the shell. Its shape and
thickness Is what makes It valuable,
for there Is little waste to it after the
buttons have been sawed from It. This
tort commands an average price of $1.25
per hundredweight. Another sort is
tho "buckhorn," in shape very similar
to the oyster, and of a dark brown color
on tho inside. Tho Inside of this shell
cannot be surpnssed by any sea shell
In beauty of colors. This shell Is not
found In beds, but lies scattered among
other verities. The last sort used for
button making Is called tho "butter
fly," becaus of Its shape, which Is like
the wing of a butterfly. It is very
prettily marked on tho outside. Over
a background of dark yellow run black
stripes to tho outer edge of the shell,
with dark dots between stripes. This
shell Is geneially small, but thick and
found, like tho sand shell and buhk
norn, in small quantities.
FINE PEARLS SOMETIMES FOUND.
The pearl buttons made from river
clams BUrpass thoso made from sea
shells, becauso they will not split, belnj
of a solid formation. The prospects for
the development of a great indsutry
along tho Mississippi aro good. Tho
supply for a constantly increasing
market Is almost inexhaustible, and al
ready hundreds of men In tho river
towns have found easy employment in
dredging for tho shells.
Not only Is thero profit in gathering
the shells, but occasionally pearls rang
ing In value from $5 to $20 aro found

In tho mussels. Tho "nigger head"
variety Is tho ono in which pearls are
often found of rnro beauty and shape.
Tho shape Is either round, oval or
saucer form, and in slzo they run from
that of the head of a pin to a buckshot.
Tho growth of tho shell is very slow.
At nine years It bus tho diameter of n
dollar, which Is tho smallest sized shell
marketed, and when matured It Is the
size of a man's hand. Thoso found In
slack water, small otreams of head
water, are gencrnlly limy and brlttlo
and cannot be used, having too much
II mo in tho shell. -
IN LARGE QUANTITIES.
Tho vast beds of mussel shell.?, from
which tho marketable ones aro taken,
abound from La Grange, Mo., north to
Lansing, Iowa, the most noted bed be
ing at New Boston, Iowa, from which
moro thnn 10,000 tons of shells were tak
en In tho last three seasons. Largo
quantities of tho shells aro exported to
Berlin, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Tarls
and Vienna. From Mississippi liver
towns about forty car loads were
shipped to tho European market last
season.
After the shells have been ortod Uiey
aro thrown into large hot-water tanks
nnd allowed to boll for live minutes,
when tho shells open and tho meat is
loosened from tho shell. Ono man can
clean 3,000 pounds pur day. As soon
as tho Bhclls are cleaned they are ready
for tho market and the button saw.
The process of sawing out buttons Is
Intricate. Thero nro only what aro
known ns "blank-button factories' In
tho west, and, after being sawed In tho
rough, the shells nro shipped e.iht and
nrc finished. On tho Mississippi nie
located about llfty button factories,
Muscatine, Iowa, boasting of thirty
button factories, employing mostly boys
and girls. Some of tho largest factor
ies employ 300 hands and nro valuable
Industries.

SOVEREIGNTY OF THE SEAS.
An English Argument That Our

from tho London rornlghtly Review.
Tho mercantile mailne of tho United

been practically dead for a gonoiatlon,
crushed by tho burdens laid upon ship
ping after tho close of the civil war.
is being revived by tho demands now
made on tho nation as tho lesult of the
conflict with Spain. To Spain it was
given, in the llrbt instance, to take
Europe to Amciict. To Spain It has
been reserved, in tho lust instance, to
bwng back America to Europe, as an
eager competitor for tho commeiclal
sovereignty of tho seas.
This is not a meie rhetoilc.al expres
sion. It is tho plain locord of a ti nth
to bo recognized by all who have eyes
to see. There is no halting place for
a modern nation. It must either prog
tess or recede whether In political or
ganization, In social accomplishment,
in industrial achievement, or In com
mercial capacity. Among tho most
progressive of the nations Is tho Amer
ican republic progressive almost to
feverlshness so progressive that It will
always remain a subject of wonder
that such a nation ever allowed Its old
maritime supremacy to pass away.
This piogresslvo nation did nllow its
sea power to anlsh, but will now nev

BLEEDING PILES
And nil other forms of this common
nnd often dangerous dlseaso readily

Thousands of men and women nro
afflicted with some sort of piles, with
out either knowing tho exact natmo of
the trouble, or knowing It, nie carelcs
enough to ullow It to lun without tak
ing the simple means oftered for a ml
ical cure.
The failure of salves and ointments
to permanently euro piles has led m.iny
to bellevo tho only euro to bo a surgic
al operation.
Surgical operations are dangerous to
life and moreover not often entirely
huccosstul and at this time are no long
er used by the best physicians o,v rec
ommended by them.
Tho safest and surest way to Cv'rs
any case of piles, whether blind, bleed
ing or protruding, Is to use tho Pyra
mid Pllo cure, composed of healing
vegetable oils, and absolutely free from
mineral poisons and opiates. Tho fol
lowing letter from a Pittsburg gentle
man, a severe sufferer from bleeding
piles, gives home Idea of tho prompt
effectual character of this pllo euro.
Ho writes:
I take pleasure writing these few
lines to let you know that I did not
bleep for three months except for a
short time each night becauso of a bad
case of bleeding piles. I was down In
bed nnd tho doctors did me no good.

Neither on tho Atlantic nor on the
Pacific will the American people be
satisfied until they havo recovered a
fair portion of their own sea carriage
nnd perhaps moro also. Tho leeway
to bo made up is gi eat the area for
after expansion illimitable. Wu are, in
fact, about to enter on a new era of
Anglo-American competition,
In the ilscal year ending June last
iron and steel goods were exported
from tho United States to tho value
of $70,307,001), as compared with $57,497,
000 in the previous year. Among tho
exports of last year wore 23.SCS tons of
pig iron, 22,552 tons of railway lion,
01,715 tons of Iron wire, 30,585 tons of
structural It on and 10,100 tons of steel
Ingots and billots. Most of this was
sent to tho continent of Europo nnd to
the East, but about 150,000 tons of pig
Iron, steel billets and manufactined
iron wcro sent to Great Britain. The
tables havo turned. America no longer
wants iron and steel from us, but
needs our market for her surplus pro
duction. Sho does not require to Im
port plates in order to build iron nnd
steel ships she can, in fact, supply
these plates to anybody who wants
them. Why, then, should sho not build
iron and steel Ships herself, to utilize
her own material and cany her own
sea trnillc? Thero is no reason In the
world only u good denl of prejudice
and "vested Interest" to bo got rid of.
Tho tremendous lncrcaso In Iron and
hteel production has caused such keen
competition, nnd has so stimulated
economy in manufactuie, that novel
has America been In a position to ob
tain tho mateilal for modern ship
building nt so low a cost as now. It
Is, Indeed, doubtful whether, when the
longer working hours and laigcr use
of machinery ure taken Into account,
America cannot now build lion and
bteel ships cheaper than wo can.
Whether cheaper or not, the ships
will certainly bo built aro already be
ing built. It Is not tho needs of tho
navy alono that nre crowding Ameri
can shipyards with work. Now that
tho carrying business has been formed
America is ablo to hiippott tho car
tlets. It Is all tho development of n
very few years.
It Is probable, therefore, that the
twentieth century will witness nn un
paralleled contest between Great Rrlt
nln nnd America for the commercial
sovereignty of tho seas.
