Just Why. Editor of The Tribune Sir: In your eultorlal of December 20 last, detailing the great nnd growing crime of our county, ou ask for sugges tions; When tho ium-t r.izul l.uddcn wns borne battered and insensible- to Jail utter having murdcud 01 o cllicu nnd badly wounded another, tho papers re marked tlmt "terrible things hnu taken placo at Old 1'orgu of l..to jcar.-." Why? When tho Judges nnd the Jury nie con veiled to inquire into the causes of Lud den's net and to pinnouneo his doom lot them Journey to tho place wlicio the crlmo wns committed. When tiny li.io traversed Us princ'pal strct nnd havo Iewcd the facilities permitted by tho men of Lickawaiina county to be spreid before this prisoner, nnd tolling men liko htm, to Induce marines and i rime, they will liaMi before them completi'lj both cnuso nnd effect. They will wonder, alo. If nnothcr placo In tliu ui.lv en-o can lmv moro rum holes hide by side than this street of Old Purge. Wh? When ccry drop of liquor sold thero Is offered in direct ioIatlon of tile contracts made by the men who bought the lots on wbleh their homes stand. Tho owners of this land, lr. r polling It for sale, foreseeing tho great misery possible to tho miners through liquor, forbnle It absolutely here In conti.icls which tho purchasers acrepteil ns binding. Instead of being nble to i nforro these pliln con tracts by tho laws under which they wero made, tho old twners have been forced to stand nsldo nnd see this deU's work made of tho whole place. What reason hao they or any others to deny tho charge long made agnlnst .ncka wnnna county that It Is easier to obtain a conuctlon for murder litre than to touch liquor selling In any manner what scevcr? L. P. Smith. Glenburn, Jan. 1. Letter from President Nichols. Editor of Tho Tribune. Sir: Halrg heaid of statements mado by enemies of the United Aline Workers of America, which were Inimical to tho best Interests of the inlneis of thin re gion, in which they ullege that tho Nan- tlcoko strlko was a failure nnd that no gain was made by the miners of th.it place. In contradiction of tho aboo I deslro to saw that It is untrue, and that tho strlko ended In a pi and victory for the union. A lctory which means motu money on pay-day and better treatnunt In general. A scale for all deadwork has been se cured where nor.e beforo exlstt d, thus in suring equal pny to all men for ceitaln work. A check docking boss is allowed at each breaker to lcok nfter tho miners' interests. An Ircnaso has also been given to most of the company hands. All the nbovo has been Inserted In n written agreement signed by the company nnd tho union committee. All mlnns are warned against pcisors who derido or tiy to bcllttlo tho organization, ns being probably paid emissaries to woik against tho interests of honest workmen. Respectfully jour", T. D.

Washington, D. C, Jan. 2. The prob ably fatal sickness of an SO-year-old negress has Just causea to be revealed a remarkably heartless case of child abandonment. Nine years ago u lit tle white baby boy was committed to the caie of Lucy Mason, on old ne giess, who In slavery days, was the property of one of Virginia's promin ent families. From the day she re ceived her chaige until the day after the Christmas Just past, she has guaid ed and watched over the bov. All efforts to Induce the "Mammy" to reveal tho identity of her ward "Leroy Mason," as h'e Is known have failed. She declares that she Is bound to secrecy by solemn vows, which even In the face of death she cannot break. She admits that she knows who the parents are, and says that $2 a month has been received by her ftom the boy's mother for his support. Tho bov. It Is said, knows who his mother Is, and has written to her at the dictation of the boaid of guaid lans, asking her to help him, No re ply, It Is asseited, has been received, although theie has been ample time for one. When he was separated fiom her he was heartbroken tor a time, but he has again become cheerful. The other day ho unconsciously revealed the great trouble of his former life by solemnly saying to Mrs. Graves, who hns taken charge of him for the guaidlans: "Tho boys can't say I haven't any thing but a black mammy now, can they? Mv mamma Is as white as any of them." HOYT IDENTIFIED. Thought to Be a Member of a Gang of Diamond Thieves. Pittsburg, Jan. 2. Jerome Deaclo, a Jeweler, of t ashlngton, D.

Francis and George Heis ner Arc the New Clerks Commis sioners Say the Additional Help Will Mean & Saving to'the County. County Commissioners Morris, Pen man and Durkln yesterday afternoon complete! the work of making up their office force. R. K. Hobathnn was re appointed nnd made assistant chief clerk.

The commissioners say they have fig ured it out that the county will bo saved money by having permamont clerks do the work that Is now pieced out. such as copying registry lists, pre paring duplicates and the like. Ono of tho new clerks Is to bo stationed in tho district attorney's office to keep talis on tho transcripts filed by tho al elermen and justices of the peace, which It Is thought will act ns a cheek on the collection of excesstvo costs.
