Tho striking silk mill hands gained considerable headway yesterday in their work of getting the non-union workers out of the mill's employ. Tho mine workers have now espoused tho cause of the strikers nnd havo issued n manifesto telling the members of their union that they should not ullow their children to work In the mill until the demands of the strikers havu been granted. As 11 consequence, the com mittee of tho strikers say, a largo number of those who have been work in? there havo quit. Yesterday the committee of the strik ers made an early visit to the mill and met the limited force going to work. They mingled with the non-union boys and fjlils and after a little persuasion three of tho Intending tollers turned around and started back for home. At noon another visit was made, and this time seven recruits shut tho doors of the mills after them from tho outside. At 11.30 live more converts wore won and at quitting time last night one more promised not to go to work ngaln. This mnkrs sixteen for the day. Tho miners have taken a decided stand on this question. Every child who Is now working at the mill has his name taken and his or her parents nro visited and Informed of the fact that a strike Is on, and If the father Is a miner ho Is told that the United Mine AVorkers cannot view with favor bis child working In a non-union mill. Yesterday Marcus Erieder, superin tendent of the company, In a com munication to an evening paper, at tacks with severity the Idea of labor organizations not composed of his em ployes making demands upon the com pany, lie says that tho company has offered to pay the expenses of a com mittee to visit mills of like character, but no committee has yet been ap pointed. Ho also offers to submit thu question as to whether or not tho lClots Throwing company pays as good or better wages than like mills, to Itev. Father Coffey. Ho threatens, if forced, to shut down the local mill, not to raise the wages but to do the work elsewhere. "While we shall suffer, we shall not suffer nlone. and It Is a question whether or not they who will thus be compelled to remain Idle and the business people of Carbondale will not regret as deeply us we may that our mill has been closed." In ariswer to this the members of tho miners' committee held a meeting in the mayor's room In the city building last evening to prepare a reply. The strikers' committee met with them nnd slated their side of the case. The strikers say that It may be true that in soma of the mills down the valley the boys employed In slmllur work may get but a dollar or two a week, but that Is no reason why they should not get more. In the local mill, they claim, the- machinery runs at tho rate or 23,000 revolutions an hour, fully 7, 000 or S.OOO more than in any other mill in this section, requiring double the attention, llesldes this, they say. the system of docking and lines here brings their wages down to as low a basis as those out of the city, no mat ter what the scale promised. Tho local company is equipped with different machinery from any other mill, and the work Is more complicated, accord ing to tho lato tollers there. In regard to the proposition of Mr. Frledcr to submit tho whole question to Jtov. Father Coffey, the strikers say they would be satisfied to do so, but think It would be better to havo an aibitratlon commlt'teo of throe or more, one to bo appointed by them and one to be chosen by tho two. In this way. while they aro convinced of Father Coffey's fairness, they would be more satisfied. it begins to look now as If this strike, which has existed forover eight weeks, would be settled In n short time. It is to bo sincerely hoped so, for tho strik ers nnd the company havo each suf fered much loss during tho long dis pute. THE PROPOSED NURSES' HOME. A Most Worthy Subject for Some fWell-to-Do Citizen to Consider. Tho proposal set forth In Wednes day's Tribune to build a nurses' home as an unnex to the F.mergoncy hospl tal In this city, has been generally dls cussed the past two days. Last even ing tho Leader, ot this city, dis cussed tho subject on its editorial pag and lent additional arguments to show 'that such a building Is urgently required. Tho excellent service that bus been given at our local hospital, bus brought patients to It from many points, oven far from the city, and today this institution is crowded to a most uncomfortnhlo degree. As pointed out In Tho Tribune, the nurses havojieen forced to yield their own comfort nnd give tip their own rooma to natlenta In need of care, nncfesurgl enf attendance. Even tho nurses' par lor, the one place that could be here tofore regarded ns their private quar ters, has now been given up to pa tients. At tho best -of times these women hnvo a hard, tllsoinc, Bottlers life, and when off duty they should havo a houro npart from the scenes of their dnllyvocntlons. Such a house could be erected' within tho hospltnl grounds DeBoUIb COUCH SYRUP Cures Cough or Cold at onco. Conquer! Croup, Whooplag-CouKh, Bronchitis, r.rliipe mid Couturaptton.

A number of local phllanthoplsta or citizens nnxlous to do good with their means could combine for this most worthy project nnd tho division of ex pense would render It easier to nil, or some one twin or woman, Inspired by n feeling of public wcirare, should erect a modest dwelling ns suggested as a memorial to some of their loved ones whom this Institution has bene fited or whose sufferings havo been al leviated there.

Nlles, president; G. W. Evans, secretary; P. F. Moflltt, sanltnry officer; A. D. Wyllle and E. H. W. Burke, members. Tho most important business trans acted was a discussion of enforcing the vucclnntlon of the pupils of tho public schools. It was decided to stand by their resolution of recent date to not allow any pupil to uttend public school who is not vaccinated or who has not had smallpox, by January 21. An agent for a "vaccination shield," designed to protect punctured arms from Injury, appeared before the board and extolled the merits of his device. A discussion took place as to the vac cination of poor children at the cost of the vaccine, but as this cannot be done at the already overtaxed hospital and as no physician can bo found who will do it, it hardly seems possible this can be effected.

By Its use every portion of the Nose, Throat, Larynx, etc., nro Illuminated for the purpose of diag nosis and treatment. The remedies nnd medicines are introduced to tho dis eased tissues In tho form of vapors and medicated air, which produces a mild and soothing effect upon tho congested nnd inflamed membranes. A slnglo trial of this treatment will convince any one of its 'bonoflclal effects. This method of treatment Is now In troduced from Europe in the United States for the first time.
