"The eyes of the people are upon us." We knew that yesterday morning, nnd when the veil was lilted from before the Autumn Millinery Showing of 1900. we had
nothing to tear. It is a gorgeous, a praiseworthy array. We're proud to have it so. Millinery art never attained a higher standard of true beauty than just now. The best
has been applied, Every touch is for harmony, grace and becomingness.

Miss Jennie Meyers, of Lake Ariel,
Advances Ono Place and Miss Mary
Yenger Three Rodriguez Ap
proaches His Third Century How
Old Subscribers May Aid the Contestants.
It Is tho young Indies tlmt mo mak
ing the larsest returns Just now In
The. Tribune's Educational Contest.
Miss Jennie Meyers, of Lake Ariel,
again succeeded lnscorlne the lars
est number of points, pas?ltiB her firt
ctitury, and this morning appears in
fourth place, only S points behind
Oliver Callahan, who la in third. Tho
last three days Miss Meyers has made
larse pains, ndvanclnR In the list each
day, and If she Is as fortunate In her
uunvas today will pnss Mr. Calla
han, unless he, too, Is able to Increase
his total.
Mlf-s Mary Yeaser, of Moscow, who
was In twelfth plaee yesterday Is this
niornlnfc advanced to ninth, with every
prospect of koIiik higher.
Charles HodrlRuez made a pain, as
usual, li still some dlbtuuce ahead
of David V. Uirtley in second place,
nnd Is now very close to his third cen
tury. Tlilrf yountr man has scored
points every day this month with but
two exceptlonr.
Kugeno llolund and Arthur Kem
inoi er also made returns yesterday, al
though the lat tor's score was not suf
llclent to prevent his dropping one
place in the 11m t.
As tho contest nears its close, some
of our subset ibers are becoming more
and more anxious to aid the contest
lints, and regret tiTat they are not al
lowed to pay their subscriptions In ad
vance. The Tribune docs not fall to
realize that in refusing to accept
money for this purpojo it is turning
away many dollars, but these dollars
will eventually reach us, although It
may be slower in coming. The Trib
une's aim in promoting this contest
was to secure new subscribers, and
the rules weio made with this In view
and cannot now bo changed. Doubt
less many of our subscribers, how
ever, have friends to whom they could
send The Tribune as a gift a Christ
inas gfrt. If you will, the paper need
not be' started until them and by so
doing will please the lriend and aid
somo worthy young person to secure
an education for which he is so
gallantly striving. At l?ast. when a
canvasser calls, they can direct him
to some of their acquaintances who
might bu induced to rubsctlbe.
Occasionally new subscriptions are
being handed In and lequests mado
that they le credited to certain con
testants. These The Tribune gladly
accepts and proper credits are given.
Help the young contestants nil you
tan they are all worthy of your sup
p irt.

Harrlsburg, Sept. 13. The expected
clash between the union and non-union
miners In the Lykens alloy rczlon
was averted by tho strikers at Lykens
abandoning their proposed match to
Wllllamstown tonight to attempt to
force the miners there to quit work.
The feeling between the Lykens and
Wllllamstown miners Is so bitter that
the stilke leaders were Induced this
afternoon by the borough authorities
of Lykens to persuade their fellow-men
not to Invade the territory of tho non
strikers. Seven hundred strikers were to have
started for Wllllamstown at f o'clock
with two bands of music and they
were much chagrined when the pro
posed march was called off. A small
delegation of strikers went there this
evening nnd held a meeting In the pub
lic square, at which speeches weie
made by District Organizer lilies
Daughertv, of Shamokln; District
Vice-President Paul IV Pulaski, of Mt.
Cannot, and District Treasurer Wilson
C Yoder, of Shamoktn. There was no
disorder, and this has encouraged the
authoiltles of tho neighboring boroughs
to believe that tho danger of trouble
between the strikers nnd non-strlkois
Is over.
The mules have been removed fiom
the Lykens mine and tho colliery will
be suspended Indefinitely If the men
are not at work next Monday morning.
About fifty pump-runners, engineers
and firemen are at work and they will
not Join tho strike unless called out by
the miners' union. Twelve hundred
men are working at the Wllllamstown
colliery and about 1,500 at Tower City.
SEVENTY PER CENT.
ARE NOW ON STRIKE
Mine Workers Make Gains in. Lehigh
Region The Operators Claim
That Men Are Intimidated.
By i:ilusio Wire from Tlic Assoc lata Fir's.
Ilnzleton, Sept. 19. The third day of
the strike passed off as quietly as the
two preceding clays. IJeyond the occa
sional stoning of a mine worker going
to or from his work there has been no
disorder. It was estimated tonight
that about TO per cent, of tho mine
workers of this region were Idle today,
which is quite an increase over yes
terdoy's figures. President Mitchell
did not issue a formal statement to
night, because of his absence from
he.idquaiters. Ho said, however, that
ftom reports ho had received he figured
on more than 126,000 being Idle In the
anthracite district.
No negotiations for a settlement of
the strike are yet in sight, and the
situation in that respect is precisely
the same as It was yesterday. The
United Mine Workers' otlicluls are con
fining their efforts to getting the men
to quit work everywhere.bellevlng that
they cannot successfully carry on the
contest unless every operation In the
three districts is tied up completely.
The operators are working the col
lieries which aie crippled as best they
can.
The mine owners in the Hazlcton
district complain bitterly of what they
cull the "cruel tactics" of the union
men. They claim that the workmen
who are still going to the mines are
being intimidated and even threatened
with serious bodily hann If they do not
quit work. They also add that most
of the men now Idle desire to resume
work, but through fear of assault they
do not leave their homes.
QUIET REIGNS IN
WYOMING VALLEY
Strikers Keep Away from the Works
and There Was No Disorder,
Coal Is Becoming Scarce.
lly IaiIiimvo Wire from The soiii 1 I'rrw.
Wilkes-Harre, Sept. I!). The thlnl
day of the miners' strike was an un
eventful one In the Wyoming valley.
The strikers kept away from the works
and there was no disorder of any kinJ.
The men employed by the West End
Coal company at Mocanaqua continue
to resist all attempts to get them out.
President Nichols made a last attempt
today and failed. It Is now said that
an effort will bo made U) leach the
men through their wives and daugh
ters. "Mother" Jones, the female lu
bor advocate, will piobably be sent to
the mining village to persuade the wo
men that It Is their duty to urge their
husbands and brothers to Join the
strlkcis. Hut ''Mother" Jones Is liable
to have uphill woik If she attempts the
task. SheAis not a linguist and it li
t.'ild nearly all the languages spokrn
In the model u world aie used in thai
mine. These people know they have
been tteated kindly by their employeis
and they cannot understand why the
should be called upon to Inconvenience
their benefactors by quitting work.
A reptesentatlve of one of thu big
coal companies said today tlmt the
owners of tho Mocanaqua colllerv an
getting well paid now for the turkeys
they gave their employes last Christ
mas. Tho company Is mining a great
deal of coal and they have lnqulrU-j
from many places at fancy figures for
the same. President Nichols would
give a great deal If he could close up
the colliery. Ho says It is the only
black mark on his chart The ofhVlaN
of the company say thuy propose to
protect their employes from Intimida
tion now, atid with that object In view
they have employed eight special oftl
ccrs to see that their employes are no:

Bo far as surface indications go there
Is no sign or a heUlement in this hpo
tlon. If nnythlng, the opposing forces
are drifting further apart.

If our Millinery has maintained leadership in the past, through ths channels of our extraordinary facilities mid untiring efforts, and the thought and study given to the
work by our Mr. Gdw.trd Lone, it is no misnomer to sav that this season's display is even on a grander scale, commanding universal admiration because of the noveltv n
style and taste applied. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY ARE EXHIBITION DAYS, y
The show is complete during today and Friday. Beyond that, however, many of the novelties disappear. That you may see the exhibition in all its completeness
we reserve these special show days and invite you to spend them here, The invitation is inspired by the greatest cordiality as we know you would wish it to be. '
ber, and Instead of waiting until the
middle i October to pay their men,
will pay them off next week and then
prepare to put their collieries In shape
for a long suspension. No effort will
be made to run the mines with new
men.
It Is almost Impossible to buy a ton
of coal in Wllkcs-Barre now.
Tho Susquehanna Coal company be
gan taking tho mules out of tho mines
at Nantlcoke tonight. They will be
shipped to Dauphin county, where tho
company has purchased n farm. The
Sustjuchanna officials say that they
will pay their men up in full early
next week and close the mines for tho
winter.
PRICE OF COAL
GOES UPWARD
At Boston nnd New York It Is Now
Sold for $7 a Ton At Albany
$7.25 Is Charged.
Hy Ktclulve Wire from The A4ociated Pres.
Boston, Sept. 19. The coal merchants
of this city have decided that the price
of stove coal of all grades from today
on will be $7. This Is nn advance of
two dollars a ton within a week. The
oblect of the dealers in ralslnc the
price to ' Is to stop the people, who
seem to have been seized with panic
on account of the great strike, from
buying. The coal men say they do not
wish to become tied up with orders
without knowing whether It will be
possible to make a delivery.
New York, Sept. 19. The Brooklyn
coal exchange has decided to advance
the retail price of coal to 7 a ton.
Steam coal has advanced from $2.93 to
$1.63.
Albany, Sept. 19. Tho Albany deal
ers today advanced the price of coal
to $7.23 it ton and even at that rate
they refuse many orders. The' will
not accept any large ones.
Syracuse. N. Y.. Sept. 19. The price
of coal was raised here today $1 a ton
on all grades. The local supply of an
thracite Is sufficient for one month.
Montreal, Sept. 19. Tho different
steamship lines running to Montreal
have notified shippers of an advance
In freight rates of 10 per cent., on ac
count of tho Increased cost of coal and
other ship store?.
MITCHELL AT MAHANOY.
Addresses Mass Meeting of Miners
with Unknown Effect.
By Exclude Wire from The Awclated Tress.
Mahanoy City, Sept. 19. A mass
meeting of mine workers was held here
tonight. The principal speakers were
President Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers: Organizer Harris, "Mother"
Jones and Charles Purcell, of Indian
apolis. President Mitchell discussed the
sliding scale which Is in eitect In this
region.
The situation here Is practically un
changed. It cannot be said at this
time what effect tho speeches of the
labor leaders will have on the mine
workers In this section.
STRIKE NOTES.
Ity Kltishe Wire from The Uwclated Pri.
P.eading, Pa.. Sept. 19. One feature
of the coal situation tonight is that
shipments to the west have been cut
down considerably nnd that they will
become smaller In that direction as
the product from the mines become
less. The demands of the local trade
along the Atlantic seaboard are so
enormous that every carload Is needed
In the Beading company's own terri
tory. Pottsvllle. Pa.. Sept. 19. Captain
Daniel Christian, of the Philadelphia
and Heading coal and Iron police, to
night marshalled 100 deputies at this
place. Pait of the force was sent to
the Northumberland region. More will
In sent tomorrow to protect the Phila
delphia and Bending mine workers In
the upper part of the region. The
Beading company Intends to thorough
ly police their collieries In order that
the strikers will not be able to Inter
fere with the mlnsrs who wish to
work.
Shamokln. Pa., Rep'. 19. An effort:
was made today by a committee of
miners employed at the Natalie col
liery, Mt. Carmel, to secure a settle
ment. They came thll afternoon to
consult with several leading mining
oflictals as to the best method of ef
fecting their object. It Is believed
tlmt if they can effect their object,
the other operators will follow In the
same line.
New York, Sept. 19. It Is asserted
heie by retail coal dealers that tho
mining companies have begun to re
fuse their orders and as a precau
tionary measure, are .holding on to
their supplies of fuel, which are said
to be large. A stutemetU printed this
afternoon declares that the Susque
hanna andWestern railroad has a sup
ply of 18,000 tons store.J here, but not
a ton Is for sale, tho officers declaring
It Is for tho use of their own roads.
It Is also claimed that the Idle and
Lackawanna people refuse to sell, but
no statement could be obtained as to
the .supply these roads have on hand,

AGRICULTURAL FAIR
AT TIMHANNOCK
ATTENDANCE ON THE FIHST
DAY NOT LAEQE.
It Was Devoted Principally to Get
ting the Numerous Exhibits in
Shape There Are Three Exhibi
tion Buildings and All of Them
Are Well Stocked Horse End of
the Fair Is One of tho Chief At
tractions Racing Card for Today
and Tomorrow.
1'iom a Staff Correspondent.
Tunkhannock, Sept. 19. Today was
scheduled as tho opening day of the
twenty-fifth annual fair of the Wyo
ming County Agricultural society, but
It was devoted almost entirely to the
receiving of entries and getting all In
readiness for the large crowds that
are expected tomorrow and Friday.
There were but few sightseers to the
grounds today, but as that Is the usual
way the first day It can give no Indi
cation of what the remaining two days
will show.
The directors of the fair are aulte
optimistic over the probabilities of this
sliver centennial of the society belnc
largely attended, for they aver they
have a better card of attractions nnil
more exhibits on view than usual, and
as the weather promises to be fair
and cool they have every arrangement
made to handle a largo crowd the rest
of the week.
The grounds are delightfully situated
on a green, level tableland surrounded
by rising hills on all sides. Mount
Miller on the left hand and Mount
Avery on the right present beautiful,
green sides to rest the eyes that be
come tired of gazing on the yellow,
dusty half-mile track In the fore
ground of the landscape.
HKKl-KCT CREDIT.
The exhibition buildings proper num
ber three. The tlrst Is a ladles' hall, in
which ate displayed an assortment of
doylies, lace ware, bed spreads, rag
carpets, silk quilts, preserves, pastry
and domestic manufactures of almost
every variety, rellectlng great credit
upon the women folks of Wyoming
county for their Industry and skill.
The second building Is the agricul
tural hall. There are set forth with
deftness nnd taste the fruits of the
field, orchard and vine, from the tiny
cereals to the mammoth pumpkins.
Fancy apples of all hues and all size?,
some enormous, catch and reflect the
straggling sunbeams that peep in the
cracks of the board walls, and their
polished skins smile Invitingly to tho
thirsty. Any one who sees the dis
play of huge potatoes will have hard
work to believe that that crop is a
failure this year.
The third building Is given over to
displays of manufacturers of carriages
and farming machinery, but tho dis
play Is limited to a few buggies and
but little farm machinery as yet. Scat
tered all over the exhibition buildings
are small stands for side shows, re
freshments, and other features.
CATTLK EXHIBIT.
The exhibit of cattle Is very good,
over eighty head having been en
tered to contest for premiums. One
herd that attracts much attention Is
a particularly fine lot of pure Jerseys.
A large number of sheep nnd a full
poultry exhibit are also in evidence.
The horse end of the fair Is. as Is
customary, the chief attraction. Be
sides the horses on the ground which
have been entered for the various
races, there are a large number en
tered for premiums. A bufe mare and
suckling colt of tho same color at
tract most of the visitors, because of
the oddity of their hue.
The track Is wide and level and a
clear view or It may be hud from
any part of the field and from the
surrounding hillsides. It Is now very
heavy with dust, but a sprinkling
cart which starts at work on it to
night will fix that In time for tomor
row's races,
. Dr. Tlbbets, of Noxon, who owns
two automobiles, had arranged with
the directors of the fair to start them
this afternoon for a track record, but
this morning ho was compelled to can
cel the engagement because of sick
ness. The crowd of fakirs who usually
throng county fairs fire conspicuous
for their absence here. Only a very
few side shows have opened up. Ono
of these, a "Brltlsh-Boer war repro
duction," owned by W. J. Hymen, of
Wllkcs-Barre, has been making the
rounds of all the fairs this season and
la a good entertainment. The rest are
of the usual ball-throwing and rln'g
tossing kind.
The agricultural exhibition Is sep
arated Into eight divisions and sixty
one cluss-'s. Premiums are offered for
horses lu four classes, for cattle In
eighteen, for sheep In sixteen, for
swine In seven, and there are forty
first and second premiums of $1 and
DO cents for poultry.
In agricultural Implements diplomas
and prizes are offered for almost every
LONG'S
kind of machine designed to lessen
the labors of the grungcr, nnd he Is
not forgotten In the harvest time, for
generous rewards are rftered for tho
best displays of vegetables, fruit,
grain, butter and cheese.
Tho premiums offered for domestic
manufactured articles ate for the wo
men's benefit and act as an Induce
ment to bring out displays of many
good things, such as canned fruits nnd
Jellies, canned goods, pickles, butter,
dried fruit, wine, bread, cake and all
kinds of crocheted, knitted and em
broidered products, from n pair of
hand-knit coarse wool socks to a dain
ty point lace handkerchief.
The entries for the two days' racing
have come l.i well, nnd plenty of
sport Is nssured. As can bo seen from
the appended list of entries, Scran
ton Is well represented In nearly every
race by good horses. Following Is the
card for tomorrow and Friday:

tinuing the adanco uhlcli was felt yesterday
and was emphasized this morning prompted the
traders to take their profits and the two dav-T
adtance was effectually wiped out. After the
speculative holdings which had been housht on
Monday were dislodirid the market came to a
pause and rallied and told vigorously by tht
bears, making the closing easy and near to the
lowest level of the dJj. As a rcult a Ions list
of prominent railroad and miscellaneous stocks
ihow net loss ranging from 1 to 2 points
Tennessee Coal was the most conspicuous for
weakness and fell oer 1 points on large selling,
closing .ith a net loss of 3. The weakness
was the more conspicuous a other stocks in
the steel group were relatively steady up to a
late hour. The local pactions were consplcu
ouly weak as a group. Tobacco suffered to the
extent of 2V4. People's (las was relatively firm,
but yielded to the late selling movement. Tho
daj's weakness lu stocks must be explained by
general dUquiet over the anthracite mlneis'
strike and the money marlet outlook. The an
nouncement of advances in tho prices of coal
was an unfavorable factor In the market. The
money market continued Aim In tone, call loans

Deafness Cannot be Cured,
bv local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
uav to cure deafness, and that is by constlUi
tlonal remedies. Deafness Is caused by an In
flamed condition of the mucous lining of ths

dig, and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the Inflammation ran
be taken out and this tube restored to its nor'
mat condition, hearing will be dtstrojed for
ever; nlns cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which Is nothing but n Inflamed condition of tht
