The following plan for testing the nctual feeling of the men with infer ence to a strike has been handed In for publication by a miner, who has been engaged In digging coal for a number of yeats: "The strike seems to be Imminent. Tnless wise counsels prevail on Mon day next the mine workers of the nn tlmicltu coal fields will be culled out. The distress that this will cause can- i not be estimated. The damage and de struction to the business of this valley that will ensue will be felt for years to enme. Can this not be averted? A few hours of careful, thoughtful con sideration of this matter before It takes place may prevent years of un availing regret If It does take place. In the hope that It may be prevented, I make the following suggestion to my fellow-workman. I am a miner of many years' experience. "I know as well as any one can tell me what It costs In sweat and toll to earn a dollar. I know what It costs In misery and distress to my family to want that dollar and not be able to get It. AVe may or may not want a strike. This, I think, we can decide for ourselves In a very simple way. My plan Is this: On Monday morning next let all the employes of every mine. In this valley come together at their respective mine a half-hour be fore the usual time of starting the works. Let them then and there, with out speeches for or against a strike, elect a chairman and secretary from their number and when that has been done, put the question to the meeting thus: All who ure In favor of going to work, hold up your right hand. Then afterwards: All who are In favor of striking, hold up your right hand. If you decide for work, then go to work as usual. It you decide to strike, go peaceably to your homes. "Before doing that, however, I would further suggest that a committee of three persons bo appointed who shall represent such, mine at a meeting to be agreed upon to meet the heads of their respective companies with a view to an amicable adjustment of all ex isting dimcultles." WHY HE CANNOT SIGN THE PROPOSED SCALE Individual Operator Figures That He Would Conduct His Colliery at a Loss of $78,228 if He Did. An Individual operator, who has holdings north of Scranton and In other parts of the anthracite coal field, yosterday made the following statement with reference to the de mand made by the miners: "Our vein Is under five feet thick nnd would therefore come under the eighty-one and a half cents per ton rate. As I understand It, 2240 pounds as It conies from the mine shall con constitute a ton. Twenty-two hun and forty pound? ns it comes from the mine will not make oer two-thirds of a ton, all sizes, ready for market, when free from Impurities and ground to sizes as required by consumers. KIghty-onc and a half cents for two thirds of a ton would equal $1.22',i per ton. In addition to this, the scale for slate and bony above six Inches thick would cost about forty-five cents per lineal yard. As we get eight tons per yard, this would be a charge of five and flve-olghts cents per ton. The yardage on ordinary gangways and airways under the schedule would be an additional fifteen cents per ton. Company work, outside nnd In, would, under tho schedule, cost forty-two cents per ton. Bills, taxes, insurance, etc., averaging about fifteen cents per ton. Royalties, thirty cents. "This would bring the cost of our coal with royalties, etc., all sizes, to about $2.37 per ton. Tho price received last month at the breaker was $1.76. Thus bringing the cost of the coal to flfty-thre cents per ton above the amount received for the same, with out adding anything for Interest on cost of plant and sinking fund to pay for the same by the time tho mine Is exhausted. I mined 12,300 tons last month. The net loss on the opera tion under the proposed schedule would be $0,519, or $7S,228 per year. As my circumstances are not such as to warrant me in entering on jo expen sive an enterprise, I must fiecllno to sign the scale suggested. "A strike at this time, when con tracts are being made by steum users for their fuel supply for the season would mean the sacrifice of our an thracite market to tho bituminous miner and shipper, nnd no doubt would be pleasing to the latter. "If this trade Is once lost. It means years of labor to get It back and con sc uently a loss of fifty per cent, of our pea and ninety per cent, of our buckwheat trade tonnage, not to say anything of the los3 of trade on other sizes, not only for this season, but for some years to come, "Figuring the total anthracite ton nage for the working season 1900-1901 to be 15,000,000 tons; the pea twelve per cent, and buckwhen sixteen per cent, of the whole production, on this basis the total anthracite pea and buckwheat trade tonnage lost would approximate 9.000,000 tons. In order to be fair, we will divide this by two, or 4,500,000 tons, more than one month's total production at full time for all the anthracite mines. It would not only be n loss fo:- this year, but would take years to regain It, If, Indeed, It could ever be entirely gotten back. "The contention In the past has not been that wages were not satisfactory, but that on account of the increased capacity to produce anthracite coal, they were not permitted to perform the number of days' labor that they did when there were less openings. There Is more nnthraclte coal being pro duced at this time than nt any time during the past decade." Krause's Headache Capsules are unlike anything prepared In America.

WE GO INTO SECOND CLASS Scranton Has a Popula tion of 102,026 Souls. MADE A BIG GAIN IN LAST TEN YEARS Its Percentage of Increase for the Decado Just Closed Is 35.05 Per Cent, and for Twenty Years 04.05. There Will Be a Radical Change in the City Government of Scran ton Because of the New Class Into Which Scranton Has Passed. Will Also Make a Difference in the County Government. Tho Tribune yesterday received the following from William C. Hunt, chief statistician of the census department: City of Scranton Pa., population, 1900, 102,020; 1800, 75,215. These figures show for the city as a whole an increase in population of 20,811, or 35.05 per cent, from 1890 to 1900. The population in 1880 was 45,850, showing an increase of 20,305, or 64.05 per cent, from 1880 to 1890. The population by wards in 1900 is as follows: Ward 1. .7,030 Ward 11. .5,420 Ward 2.. 8,168 Ward 12. .2,508 Ward 3.. 3,023 Ward 13. .5,520 Ward 4.. 4,700 Ward 14. .5,520 Ward 5 . . 7,050 Ward 15 . . 4,979 Ward 0. .4,140 Ward 10. .3,017 Ward 7.. 2,563 Ward 17. .4,082 Ward 8.. 2,030 Ward 18. .2,071 Ward 9.. 4,921 Ward 19. .8,253 Ward 10.. 3,304 Ward 20. .6,728 Ward 21.. 2,730 IN SECOND CLASS. This report of the census depart ment puts Scranton in the second class of cities, as will be seen by reference to the following act: AN ACT Dividing the cities of this state into three el. uses with respect to their population, and designating t lie mode of ascertaining and ehmging the classi fication thereof in aicoidance therewith. Section 1. He is enacted, etc., that for the puiposes of legislation, regulating their munici pal alf.iliB, the exercise of eel tain corporate pow er and having respect to the number, character, power and duties of certain officers thereof, the cities now in existence and thiw to he hereafter netted in this commonwealth, (hall be divided into three classer. Thee containing a population of six hundied thousand or ocr shall constitute the tlrst class. Those containing u population of one hundred thousand, and tinder six hundred thousand, shall constitute the second class. Those containing a population of under one ..Mildred thousand shall constitute tiie thiul class. Section 2. The classification of said cities, re spectively, shall be ascertained by reference to their population, uonrdinir to the last preceding United States census, or any munkhui census I taken later, and whenever it shall appear, by uny ( such census, that any city of the second or third class has attained a population entitling it to an advance in Classification as herein prescribed, it shall be the duty of the governor under the great seal of the commonwealth to certify the fact oc cordingly, which cirtitieate shall be entered at large upon the minutes of the councils of such city and recorded In the office for the recording of deeds of the proper county period. At the municipal election, occurring not less than one month aftir the date of such certificate, the proper officers shall be elected o which the said city will become entitled under the change in classification, ami upon the first Monday of April next succeeding thereto, the terms of all officers of said city, then In office, whose offices arc superseded by reason thereof, shall cease and determine, and the city government shall be duly organized and shall thereafter lie controlled and regulated by the law of this commonwealth ap plicable to the same under the lespeitiie classi lica. ions hereby fixed and appointed. Approved the eighth day of May. A. I)., 1S09. .lames A. Ilcavtr. PRINCIPAL OFFICERS. Scranton will be In the same cluss with Pittsburg and Allegheny, the only other cities of the second class In the state. The principal officers of a second class city are mayor, comptroller, treasurer, director of department of public works, director of department of j public safety, director of department of charltleft, city solicitor, city auditor nnd delinquent tax collector. Select council consists of one member from eah ward; common council in this city would have about forty members, the representation being based on the size of the ward. The mayor Is elected for three years by the people. Ills sole duties are to review legislation, preserve the peace, enforce city ordinances and supervise and pay the city officers. Ho has nothing whatever to do with appoint ments of policemen, firemen, Inspect ors or heads of bureaus or depart ments. His salary Is llxed by coun cils. All the other officers, Including comp troller (which corresponds to our pies out controller), city treasurer, city as sessors and the like are chosen by councils for two-year terms. The board of assessors consists of five members, a chief and four assist ants. Heal estate Is assessed In three clashes. Farm land Is assessed one third of the highest rate of tax re quired to be assessed; rural or subur 25 Buys Coffee. Coursen's Java Sold elsewhere at 30c.

Ave. ban property pays two-thirds of the highest rate, and city or built-up prop erty pays nil of the highest rate. The highest rate of tax necessary to be assessed Is fixed each year by coun cils after tho assessors make their re turn of property classification. The actual cah value of property Is the bants of taxation. The city auditor looks after the ac counts of all city officers, making monthly report of his work to coun cils. The director of public safety Is ap pointed by councils for four years. He has supervision of the police force, public health, fire department, city telegraphs, fire-escapes, police station, patrol houses, fire housps and fire ap paratus. He appoints the superintend ent of police, superintendent of the bureau of fire and nil policemen nnd firemen, the building Inspector, super intendent of the bureau of health nnd the like. Tho board of health under a second- class city charter will be supplanted by a bureau of health, which shall consist of a superintendent and such employe as may be deemed necessarj. PUBLIC WORKS. The director of the department of public works has charge of the depart ments now governed here by the city engineer, street commissioner and patk commissioners nnd has charue of all realty owned by the city. He appoints the heads of the various bureaus In his department, such as superintend ent of engineering and surveys, super intendent of the bureau of hlchwnvs nnd sewers, superintendent of the bureau of water, superintendent of the bureau of public parks, superintend ent of the bureau of public libraries. Under the Act of June 10, 1891, which was enacted at the time Allegheny passed from a tblul to a second-claos city, tho office of director of the poor In cities of tho second class was abol ished, and the power of directing the work of charity was vested In a de partment of public charities. It Is understood that this act will not apply to Scranton. The law governing the apportion ment of common cotincllmen In cities of the second class reads as follows: "It shall be the duty of the nse?- ors of each ward to return, under oath, a true and exact return of resident taxables to the president of the com mon council on or before the first day of July In each (fourth) year when nn apportionment Is to be made, and at the first meeting of the councils there after, a Joint committee of five, two from the select and three from tho common council, shall be appointed, who shall examine the said returns and divide the whole number of tax ables by forty nnd the quotient shall bo the ratio of representation for the members of common council: Provided, That should any ward have an excess of three-fifths more than the ratio of taxables, It shall be entitled to an ad ditional member; and provided further, that each ward shall have at least one member of councils." REPRESENTATION OF WARPS. Tho total number of taxable Inhabi tants In the twenty-one wards of Scranton was 21.14S, according to tho assessment figures for 1899. Allowing 14S for the number of non-resident taxables, and to make round numbers, the ratio of representation In common council would be 000. On this basis the different wards would be renre sented ns follows: First ward, 3; Second ward, 3; Third ward, 1; Fourth ward, 3; Fifth ward, 3; Sixth ward, 2; Seventh ward, 1; Eighth ward, 1: Ninth ward, 2: Tenth ward, 1; Eleventh ward, 2; Twelfth ward, 1; Thirteenth ward, 2; Four teenth ward, 1; Fifteenth ward, 2: Sixteenth ward, 1; Seventeenth ward, 2; Eighteenth ward, 1; Nineteenth ward, 3; Twentieth ward, 2; Twenty first ward, 1. Total, 3S. The figures for the next assessment will be some what higher, and will determine which of the wards will get the additional councllmen to make up forty. The Eighth, Fourteenth nnd Sixteenth lacked only a few taxables of tho num ber necessary to entitle them to two common councllmen. Liquor licenses wilt cost $1,100 instead of $550, as at present. Tho showing with reference to the census of Scranton makes It certain that Lackawanna county has a popu lation of more than 150,000, which will put the offices on tho salary basis and gives Lackawanna nn Orphans' court Judge, controller nnd prison board of three, who will relieve the sheriff of all duty In connection with the man agement of the county prison. It will probably bo some time before the population of the county Is officially determined, for the reason that the census department Is first devoting Its energies to getting at the population of the cities of the country.

TURNPIKE WILL BE MADE A BOULEVARD ANOTHER INVITING DRIVEWAY FOR SCRANTONIANS. Providence nnd Abington Turnpike to Be Acquired by the Northern Boulevard Company nnd Trans formed Into a First-Class Drive way This Action Will Prevent the Road from Being Made Free. Will Not Affect tho Contract with the City for Repairing Street. A drive over nsphalt along Wash ington avenue to Green Ridge street, thence on brick pavement, along Orcen Ridge street nnd North Main avenue to West Market street, thence on brick pavement along West Market street to the city line, nnd then on a wldo nnd well-kept mncndamlzed boulevard to Clark's Summit, is a probability of next summer. The pave on West Market Rtreet Is about the only feature of the project that has an Interrogation mark following It. Should It not be Included nt once, It will come eventually, nnd while nwolt Ing Its coming that portion of the drive will bo vastly Improved. This Is to be made possible by the Northern Boulevard company, an or ganization of local men, who wilt pos sess themselven of the Providence and Abington Turnpike company's road and transform It Into a boulevard. These men are Freeman Lench, J. S. Miller, Jesse Beadle, D. W. Orlffln, II. E. Paine, Hon. W. W. Watson, Er nest L. Paine and R. W. Beadle, some of whom are now Identified with the Providence and Abington company. Watson, Dlehl & K'tnmerer will ap ply to the governor for a charter for the new company on Tuesday, Octo ber 2, 1900. The company proposes, when char tered, to avail Itself of the provisions of the act of June 20, 1S95, which ex tends special privileges for the en couragement of boulevard building. One of these privileges is exemption from the operation of railway com panies right of entrance upon the road way except In cases of the most ur gent necessity nnd (he other Is the absolute exemption from condemna tion proceedings. WAS AN ENCOITRAGEMENT. This latter provision of the act, It Is believed, has much tn do with the formation of the new company. Every now and then there Is agitation for the condemnation of the turnpike. The turnpike people have not Indicated their feelings in the matter one way or Hip other, but It Is to be presumed that they do not care to be dispos sessed of their property, ns It Is ques tionable It the money a board of view ers would allow them could be readily Invested In any other scheme that would be equally profitable. The agltntlon, however, has been ypry aggravating nnd while It may never, or at least not for a consider able time come to aught, tho turn pike people, it seems, have determined to put nn end to it once and for all by changing the pike Into a boulevard. This change means a big outlay of money, In return there Is the assur ance of security In their property and the prospect of lncrensed returns by reason of tho plenmre driving that will be added to the road's traffic, that will more than meet the expense of the Improvement that nn acceptable boulevard will demand. Then again this Increased traffic, It Is fair to presume, will have a ten dency to spur the city to keep West Market street in better repair than It Is kept at present, and eventually bring about the grading and paving of that portion of the turnpike which the city Is under perpetual contract to keep In repair, namely, from the Providence corners to Lcggett's creek bridge. MAY ACQUIRE OTHER ROAD. It Is understood that the new com pany will likewise acquire the road between the northern terminus of the Providence and Abington turnpike and Clark's Summit station, and Include It in the boulevard. It would make ti delightful driveway if properly Improved and the new com pany Is said to have the Intention nnd the capltnl necessary to improve It In I n wny that will make It quite as In viting ns our East Mountain drive.
