SOMETHING OF CAREEK OF
PRESIDENT MITCHELL.
He Has Been Again Chosen Presi
dent of the United Mine Workers
of America What an Old Lady
Thought of the Picture of Senator
Vaughan Charles Fowler Who
Has Had Much to So with Making
Bowling Popular in This City Is
an Ardetn Bowler.
Senator J. C. Vaughan dearly loves
a Joke, and one was unconsciously
played upon himself n few days ago
which he. especially enjoys and he tells
about It with genuine pleasure. The
senator has been very much nought
after for Interviews regarding second
class city legislation recently and one
of the local papers printed his picture
a few clays ago In connection with a
statement of his views on the "ripper"
bill. '
The next day at his home the con
versation turned upon the death of
Queen Victoria and the accession of
the Prince of Wales to the throne. An
old lady, who Is a friend of the family,
was visiting In tho house at the time
mid the senator, seeing a chance for a
little fun, opened the paper In question
to the page which contained his pic
ture and, pointing to it, asked the old
lady what sho thought of the looks of
the Prince of Wales.
The old lady Is rather near-sighted
and cannot read without her glasses,
so sho didn't see "J. C. Vaughan"
underneath the cut. She looked at the
picture carefully for several moments,
and then said:
"My gracious, Isn't the prince tin
ugly man. My, but he's homely!"
This nonplussed the genial senator
tor a minute or two, but he laughed at
It as heartily as anybody else. "I never
had a reputation for beauty," said he,
while telling the story, "but it cer
tainly camo hard to ibe told about it up
lo my face. The picture was a good
ne, too."
The qualities which advanced Mitch
ell from a coal miner at Spring Valley
lo the presidency of the organization
n two years wero powers of ready de
late in convention, earnestness of pur
&ose to secure fair treatment of the
nen the organization represents, and a
kind and courteous demeanor, but
Brmness under all circumstances.
He is known In the organization as
i lighter of rare pluck and capable of
holding on when any ordinary man
would admit defeat. Ho Is slow to
make up his mind on an important
tjuestlon, but energetic and determined
vhen once the question Is decided,
notwithstanding his youth, the mem
ers of the executlvo board look to him
(or advice and counsel and often defer
to his Judgment in matters of the
greatest importance. He Is known to
lis fellow workers familiarly as
'John," and though not easily ap
iroached he Is genial and companion
Ible when once his acquaintance Is

formed. He Is a close student of event,
and un omnivorous reader.
That he Is not easily tripped Into ex
pressing opinions was fully demon
strated while ho was In this city during
tlio strike of last fall. On his trail
constantly were some of the best and
most alert newspaper men of the coun
try, who have made a study of the
science of extracting Information and
opinions from all kinds and conditions
of men. They ull conceded that Mitch
ell was one of the hardest propositions
they ever encountered, when he had
made up his mind not to talk.
John Mitchell, who has been re
elected president of the United Mine
Workers of America, Is In his thirtieth
year, and Is the youngest man ever to
roach such a position as he now oc
cupies. His mother died when ho was
two years old, and four years later his
father was killed In an accident In the
mines, and tho child was left to the
care of friends. He entered the mines
when thirteen years old, and from that
time made his own living. He con
nected himself with the Knights of
Labor when sixteen years old while
working in Illinois, und has been a
member of that organization ever
since. He has worked In a number of
states, at one time being employed In
the mines of New Mexico.
Hoturnlng to Illinois from the west,
lie married and settled down at Spring
Valley, where his family of a wife and
four children live. His first service In
a public capacity was In 18'JT, when he
was appointed on organizer of the
United Mine Workers by Piesldent
Hatehford, and In the same year he
was elected a member of the Illinois
stato executive iboard. In 1S9S ho was
elected national vice-president of the
organization, and became acting presi
dent when Uatchford determined to
give his time more fully to the work
of the Industrial commission, and In
January, 1899, Mitchell succeeded to the
presidency by election.
During the last two buasoiiH the
healthful and Interesting sport of
bowling has taken a big hold on the
Scranton athletics loving public, und
today It Is doubtful if there Is a winter
pastime ns populur as tho game thev
used to play "In old Hen Franklin's
day," us Frank Daniels would delight
to merrily warble. The day of tho
bowling green Is over, but in its mod
ern form bowling has been given n
warm welcome, and among all tho
local adherents of the sport perhaps
the man who has done the most to
wards giving this city bowling entor
talnmont In the form of exhibition
matches, tournament games, out-of-town
teams brought here, etc., Is
Charles Fowler.
Whenever any bowling enterprise has
been Inaugurated "Charlie" Fowler has
been one of the most active movers in
it. Ho Is himself a bowler of no small
reputation and the 288 game which ho
bowled one day this season stands us
a high-water mark toambltlous rollers.
He It was who last year was one of the
leading spirits In creating the Howl
ing League of Northeastern Pennsyl
vania, and he ngaln, it was who this
season ably assisted In launching the
association on another unnual tourna
ment. His bowling enterprise brought the
mighty Itosevllle bowlers of New York
to this city Saturday, and he It is who
captains the Commercials, the lusty
Infant among local bowling teams.

not In fuor of the "ripper" clause,
and I believe It to bo to the best In
terests of Scranton to treat It as a
pin ely political matter, In which Pitts
burg Is alone concerned. If wo ac
tively engage In opposing the Interests
nf the dominant faction In Allegheny
county, it will make them vindictive
towards us, and If they should get on
top next year In Harrlsburg, Scranton
could not wll expect anything but a
retaliation that will closely approach
chastisement. If we can pet along
amicably with the Allegheny county
people It will be the better In the
long run."
Judging from tho line-up on the
Philadelphia court bill last week, the
Quayltes have things so well In hand
that they can do pretty much ns they
please. Opinion here Is that they will
allow Plttsbuig, Allegheny and Scran
ton to make reasonable amendments
to the Muehlbronner bill, but will In
sist that the "ripper" clause shall
stnnd. i
A conference of the representatives
of the thtee second class cities Is
scheduled for tomorrow afternoon r.t I
o'clock. The committee on municipal
nffolrs will give them u heating Wed
nesday. Jt Is not Improbable that the three
cities will agtee upon one set of amend
ments and their representatives will
work In harmony In presenting them
to the committee. The rejection or the
retention of tho "ripper" clauso will, In
that event, be the sole bone of con
tention, the men in charge of the bill
having declared themselves willing to
make any reasonable amendments, not
In conflict with the general policy of
the measure
Excise Commission.
The report that a bill creating an
excise commission for cities of the llrst
and second classes would como before
the present legislature Is now nuthor
Itatlvely confirmed. The bill has nl
ready been drawn and Is likely to bo
presented this week.
It Is a companion measure to the
"ripper" feature of the Muehlbronner
bill, and designed to take from the
courts of Pittsburg tho power of grant
ing licenses and place it In the hands of
three commissioners to bo appointed
by the governor. Minority representa
tion s provided for.
In a city of the first class the salary
of a commissioner Is to bo not lens
than 10.001 a year, and In a second
eluss cTty tho minimum Is to be $1,500.
These figures will probably be the
ones Incorporated In tho bill.
Hy allowing liberal salaries, It Is fig
ured, reliable mon can be secured who
will devote their whole time to tho
duties of tho ofllce, making personal

way he conducted his business during

The Kopp bill forbidding tho grant
ing of moro than ono brewery, distil
lery or wholesalers license to any one
party will bring a strong lobby to

part of the state has been endeavoring
io secure an appellate court decision
providing that one license will cover
any number of breweries that any one
party may operate. The superior court
decided against them but two of the
court dissented and It Is understood
this has given the appellants encour
agement to take the case to tho su
preme court From this It can be t-een
that the brewers would scarcely uilsh
Hie Idea of submitting to the terms of
tho Kopp bill. Tho brewers' press
