To Meet Vlimtm In Cunfc rctirt; Ml ty Cana<* Strike. Wllkeaharre. Pa., Aug. 18.—It as stated authoritatively last nlgh«. fnat the coal operators of the anthrnclte region will not accept the invitation of the United Mine workers to me* t in Joint conference to discuss gri-evances. The operators will say that there are no grievances to A list of answers have been prepared b~v the operators in reply to eat.h grievance put forth by th« convention <jf the United Mine workers held iu Hazleton this week. In the first, place the anthracite op- j «>rntors say that the anthracite miners are governed by western men who have the interests of the bituminous regions at heart and not the interests of the hard < oal region. In the second place, there is an ap preciable difference in the conditions of bituminous and anthracite miners, but always in the frirmer's favor. There is a reason of course, but the operators In the anthracite field are not respon sible. There is a greater demand for soft coal and in. consequence the miner engaged in the west works a greater number of days per year and Is paid a higher wage. Anthracite is the bet ter coal, but the fact remains it is not in demand and perhaps because it is considered a luxury, it is not used only when ft becomes an actual necessity. The price per car has not been re duced in years, they are numbered and the dockage does not exceed 4 per cent, at any colliery. It is absurd to say that it reaches 25 per cent. Sooner than take 25 cars from an output of 100, the companies would tell the man his services were no longer needed. There are printed rules which vary ac cording to the vein. In some vnjns the coal is dirter than in others. A man is suspended for one day when his coal contains slate or dirt in excess of 200 pounds per car. In veins where the coal is very dirty the companies allow ROO pounds to the car. For the second offense three days, and so until the I r -iner s' •no disposition to clean | his coal, be i (iitcliarged.

He was a member of a wealthy Russian family and had served as an officer in the Russian army. For threatening to shoot a superior officer he was forced to flee to this country, where for several years past he sup ported himself as a fresco painter. At stated intervals he received large re mittances from Russia and these he would spend in the most extravagant manner. He would engage a full band of music and parade the streets at the head of it. charter a trolley car for his sole iisp and do other erratic things apparently for the sole purpose of get ting rid of his money. These outbreaks were always followed by fits of des pondency and during one of these ho killed himself. Tin* Cuhun Ten«*l»«»r*.

That is the condition of many a sickly child. The stomach and or gans of digestion and nutrition are not doing their work and the body is really starving. It is little use to give fish foods, like cod liver oil and emulsions, in such a case, because these also have to be digested; they may lighten the stomach's labor but they don't streng then it.

I want to sound a note of warning to i night which the importance of the j campaign justifies. The time is at hand | when every man is called onto con ' tribute what he can to perpetuate this j administration. It has been denjon ! strated beyond any doubt that the policy of the Republican party and of: ; President McKinley stands for every- j ! thing which means the welfare and : | well being of the country at large.
