REFUSAL OF COAL OPERATORS.
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.

New York. Aug. 22. —John Carlson
shot and killed himself in Hoboken
yesterday. 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.

Rome. Aug. 22 k —The pope has 'ad
dressed a letter to the cardinal-vicar
in which he sets forth the danger of the
free propaganda of Protestantism in
Italy, especially in Rome. He observes
that this propaganda is permissible by
law. but goes onto show how painful
to him is the situation resulting from
it, since he cannot oppose the propa
ganda. Leo recommends ftiat. the car
dinal vicar strengthen the work of
preserving the faith, ap.d he exhorts
Catholics to unite in an effort to mini
mize as far as possible the damage
caused by sectarian propaganda.

OF UNTOLD VALUE
Tbe Information Contained in this Gentle
man's Statement is Priceless.
The hale, the hearty, the strong can
afford to toss this paper to one side im
patiently when they read the following,
but any sufferer in Danville who has
spent a mint of money and suffered
hours of excruciating torture caused by
uidi. y complaint will stand in his own
light if he does not follow the valuable
advice offered l.iy:
Mr. W. C. Richard, Grocer, living
cor. Iron aud Third st., Bloouisbnrg who
says:— "I was taken suddenly with
stitches in my back which were so ex
cruciating, that L almost fell to the
groud. 1 was confined to my bed for
over a week, and the pain was so intense
1 could not risu without assistance.

tion and I took a course of the treat

A pi? uy child is always sin anxiety to
the i»a rents. There seems generally no
reaso- | why the little one should be
weal c when it is so well fed. But the
facf j s that it does not matter how much
f*x ,(l the child takes if the stomach can
"< ,t extract the nourishment from it. .o
.o benefit can be derived from just
eating. 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. Strength is what the stomach
needs. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery strengthens the stomach,
nourishes the nerves, and increases the
action of the blood making glands. It
is superior to every other preparation
for children's use. on account of its
body building ijnalities, and also be
cause it is pleasant to the taste and con
tains no alcohol, whiskey or other in
toxicant. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets
are a valuable aid when the bowels are
irregular. They are small. Children
take them readily.

New York, Aug. 22. —SenaturTtanna,
chairman of the Republican national
committee, opened the campaign of the
Republicans of New Jersey at Asbury
Park, N. J., last night. An immense
crowd gathered in and about the au
ditorium by the seashore. Senator
llanos, after thanking the audience
I for the hearty reception accorded him,
| said:
J "We are on the eve of a political
; campaign second to none in import
j ance, one on the issues of which de
| pends the prosperity of the country. 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.
"A note of warning has come from |
! the national Republican headquarters, j
; I am responsible for that. I know the !
; nature of the contest which is before j
I us and tell you that you cannot afford j
i to take anything for granted or to miss |
a trick. We are confronted with a j
dangerous foe, and Bryanism is in the [
balance, and if that is killed now it is
killed forever.
"Over confidence is the worst fea- j
ture of this campaign. No one can be !
blamed for confidence in what the out- j
come will be after three years of Presi- j
dent McKinley, but remember that we !
have an enemy which may be called the
'Cuckoo' party, which is composed of
men of every shade of political opinion,
every crank and every Nihilist. They
are all against us." i

San Juan. P. K., Aug. 18. —At May
agues; on Thursday a crowd of federals
and republicans got together and after
heated political disputes, 30 revolver
shots were exchanged, and clubs and
other weapons were freely used. One
man was killed outright and a dozen
cithers were Injured, two fatally.
For some weeks violent discussions
have been frequent there, and recently
the republicans attempted to hold a
mass meeting in a ward controlled by
the federals. It was this that led to the
collision.
Saturday last the republicans or
ganized a resolution in honor of the
second anniversary of the occupation
of Mayaguez by the United States
troops. The federals, being anti-Ameri
can in sentiment, opposed the project,
and their leaders made speeches dis
suading members of the party from
participating in the celebration. Form
er Secretary of Justice Diaz remarked
that the day should be one of mourn
ing rather than of rejoicing, and since
then the rivial politicians in May
aguez have been at fever heat. Span
ish residents of San Juan have issued
a circular calling upon all Spaniards
to get together with a view of effecting
an organization to promote the inter
ests of Spain.
