Cook LOT M BH Why Republican Candidates Are Strong Iu the Coal Regions. PARTY LEADERS ARE POPULAR Many Bills Passed at the Last Session of the Legislature In the Interest of the Miners Are Not Forgotten By the Voters. A special dispatch from Pottivllle says that the Republican leaders in the coal region counties are confident of polling a large vote for the whole Re publican ticket this fall on account of the great satisfaction expressed among the coal miners over the leg islation procured for the interest of the workingmen at the last session of the legislature. The committee of the Miners' organi zation that, spent all winter at Harris burg watching legislation returned hom<- with many victories to their credit. For years the miners had been knocking at the doors of the general assembly for remedial legislation but there was always some obstacle pre sented to their getting what they wanted. The outcome of the session was so gratifying that at a recent convention of miners, when supporters of the in surgents attempted to* have passed resolutions condemning the recent leg islature. they were promptly suppress ed by the delegates in the convention. Enumeration of a few of the meas ures passed in the interest of miners, showing the solicitous concern ihe Re publican leaders have for the lalioring Interests of the state is given: The 'powder bill," which was de manded by the miners and which be to# a law. provides that all kftgß ot powder shall contain not less than 25 pounds, and that no one but .ne origi nal owner shall refill a keg for sale. The practice among unscrupulous oper ators had been to l ay kegs in which standard grades of pc.vaer had been sold and refill them with damp powder of aa inferior grade. Frequently the»e kegs, which were supposed to contain 25 pounds, were two or three pounds short. The bill provide* a penalty of SSOO for each violation of the provi sions of this act. MANY GOOD BILLS. Tiie "medical bill." which was paa««(J and signed by Governor Stone, provide# that there shall be a room at the bot tom of the shaft or mine, not less eight feet by ten feet, which shall oon tain a bed. bandages, splint, cotton and medical appliances for the proper treatment of miners who are hurt In the mines or otherwise hurt, and who If taken out of the shaft into the opeß air might be fatally affected by a sud deu change of temperature. This aol is designed to avoid the necessity of transferring injured persons to hos pitals when that is undesirable. The "mine inspectors' bill" did not become a law until after a hard fight. It provides for an increase iu the num ber of mine inspectors from eight to 16, and provides that the inspectors shall be elected by the people instead of appointed by the governor, as has been the practice. This bill was passed on account of complaints of miners of the inability of the mine inspectors to make the requisite number of in spections. Some inspectors have as many as 40 collieries to inspect every month. The new law requires that ail candidates to be voted for for mine inspectors shall have passed an ex amination before the mine examining board, with an average of at least 96 per cent. THE STORE ORDER BILL. The famous "store order" bill, which attracted attention owing to the pecu liar methods resorted to in the effo'i to block its passage, was passed after many obstacles had been overcome This bill Is regarded by the miners as one of the most meritorious measures of the session. It provides for pay ment of wages of all employes iu cash and prevents a continuance of the sys tem of granting orders on different stores in some of which the mine oper ators have a financial interest. The result of the passage of this bill Is already shown in a changing of the methods of certain corporations, which are now paying in cash instead of by checks. Orders, cash hooks, etc., given in lieu of wages, shall be taxed 25 per cent. All of these bills were signed by Governor Stone without hesitation. The committee of the mine workers of the Schuylkill region that were t e last in attendance at Harrlsburg were more successful than any other dele gation that had been looking after any interests. They < losely followed .all their bills and were persistent In pr>-s sing for their passage. N«M* Theory nt Baldness. A Michigan sci-aitist, l'r Del.

WOODEN WARSHIPS SMASHING THE HATTERAS FORTS. I'lmt Important XIIMiI Action of t'l* W ar—K«-j- to Ili *' (»nnl of North j ( urnllnit < ii i>tii r«-tl by Cnmmodore j StriitKhnm'a Kleet. [Copyright, 1901, by C. L. Kilmrr.] 112 ercnce that j ' wooden ships * ? 112? '' we r o sent ' , against land. KSr/ j£ r ~ & / Z'J> forts. Even in these times of j Y —/ .-a- armor plate I L j ship command-j ers arc not in : a hurry to tackle forts. The sailors in ! 1801 took great chances, and boldness j carried the day. Commodore Stringham's battle at! Ilatteras inlet the 2Sth and 29th of Au gust, 1M">1, proved that the navy was equal to the work of breaking roads for the army when a coast position was ' to be attacked. North Carolina put her self upon the defensive even before joining the Southern Confederacy. The steamboat Winslow was armed and ; sent out cruising in the wafers adjoin- I ing the soin ds, and all her prizes were i turned into ships of war. In August! there were four vessels in ail ready to defend rounds and to make war upon ; ♦he commerce of the north whenever a 1 rich ship could be run down. String- J ham w as sent to the scene to put a stop to these raids and close the inlets to the sounds. Ilatteras was the chief point of offense, and the inlet had been fortified with two works commanding the ship channel. Ou tin." point of Ilatteras island, south ' of the cape, where fhe channel passes j through the narrow bluffs, the North Carolinians built a. fort covering an uerc and a half of ground, with bomb proof chambers, mounting 25 guns. This w as the main point of resistance. The mouth of the Inlet Is covered by a sand bar which compels shins to follow a narrow channel in order to pass through, and hence there was no sea loom for maneuver in front of the bos- j till guns. South of Fort Ilatteras, the large one in the pass, there Is a bay half a mile wide, which ships must cross in order to reach the channel, and as a sort of an outwork or picket to hold up the enemy and give warning to the garrison at Ilatteras the south- , erners built another work called Fort Clark. This work mounted five 32 pounders. Flag Officer Stringham's force was , very formidable, but victory was by no j means a certainty. The steam frigate j Minnesota led off us flagship, followed by the frigate Wabash, the sloops of war Cumberland, Susquehanna and Pawnee and the converted steamers Monticcllo and Harriet Lane. Three transnorts carried S'lO soldiers under lien Butler. The Intention of the com manders was to land the troops on the I shore north of Fort Ilatteras, and j while the ships bombarded the works i from a safe distance the soldiers would , charge along the beach and capture 4 them by storming. The surf rolls with terrible violence upon the beach along Ilatteras, and | iron surf boats had been provided for the troops to get ashore. The Monti cello and Harriet Lane, both of light j draff, ran close inshore to cover the landing in case of attack. The first landing was made early on the 2Stli, , but the work went slowly, and the surf increased in violence. Finally the boats were hurled on the beach and destroy ed, and after about 300 men had reach ed shore It was found impossible to re enforce tliein or to take them back to the ships. Two howitzers went ashore : with the troops, but the ammunition was wet, and the situation was very desperate. The gunboats were compel led to stand offshore out of range of the landing. Without provisions or wa ter, the detachment was left to its fate and later in the war would have fared roughly at the hands of the".John nies." Hut in August, 1801, the south erners were still praying "to be let alone." The frigates and sloops, four In num ber, opened fire on Fort Clark about the middle of the forenoon, using new and bold tactics to avoid direct shots from the fort. The vessels moved steadily on, passing and repassing the guns at varying distances so that the southerners could not fix the range. Their guns had moving targets and sel dom landed a shot, while shells from the ships speedily made the fort too j hot for the Confederate gunners. Soon j past noon a shot carried away the flag oil the fort, and afterward the garrison left the works, some taking flight In boats ami others running along shore toward Fort Ilatteras. Seeing the flight of the Confederates from Fort Clark, the detachment of Butler's soldiers on the beach moved down and took possession, but the shells of the fleet aimed at Fort Ilat teras passed over that work into Fort | Clark. Driven from shelter by their own fire, the troops returned to the i beach and passed the night in a rain ons the wet beach, with no food but what they picked up on their march to the fort. During the night a Confederate regiment from Newborn came to the beach to help the garrison beat off the enemy, but they were too busy repair ing the parapets and chambers Injured by the bombardment to look for out side trouble. Seeing great confusion on land after the Confederate flag fell from Fort Clark, Flag Officer Stringham suppoa- Ed that both forts had given up the fight. Fort Ilatteras ceased firing. The former commander of Fort Clark, Colo nel W. F. Martin of the Seventh North Carolina, went into Fort Ilatteras, re -1 porting his little garrison of W<) men i worn out by lighting. About that time Flag Officer Barron of the Confederate 1 navy entered the fort and at there- I quest of the commandant took charge ' of the defense. All the guns in the fort ! were of naval pattern, and it was thought that a naval officer could ban l die the force with the best execution. 1 There were three guns in Fort Ilatter , as bearing upon Fort Clark, and an- I other was putin position to keep the ' enemy out of the abandoned work. Meanwhile the steamer Monticcllo ; had an exciting time trying to run ' through the inlet. When It seemed evi j dent that the Confederates had abau ; doned both forts, the Monticcllo made : her way with difficulty in the shallow water to the mouth of the inlet. She ! often grounded, and Ilatteras guns ] paid no attention, but finally when she j was caught iu shallow water the guns I opened, landing five shells in her with } Iu a few minutes. One shot went eom ' pletcly through the ship from starboard to port and landed in a coal hunker. I Under cover of the fleet the steamer ! got out from under the Confederate guns, and the ships soon anchored for the night. Iluring this day's tight the Confederate war steamers lay idle iu I tlie sound. After the abandonment of Fort Clark the Ellis carried troops and ammunition to Fort Ilatteras, passing j and repassing under fire. She took ! Flag Officer Ha i ron an l others into j the fort during the afternoon. It was ' said that some of the officers of the lit -1 tie flotilla wished to put troops ashore to recover Fort Clark and hold it at the point of the bayonet if need be, but i their counsel was ov< rruled. Very early 011 the U:>lh the large ships I of Stringham's fleet moved up anil were saluted by the stars and stripes ou Fort Clark. About 8 o'clock a. 111. the Wabash opened fire, according to the Confederate narrative, and immediate ly a rain of shells began dropping in land around the fort. The combined armament of the fleet was 73 gun - . A 7 ' "J* Xm $ -'f I \ /C? " COMMOPOKK S. H. BTRINGRAM. naval hero of 1861.] 1 Confederate counted shells falling in one minute. A rifle battery in the sand 1 on the shore as well as the guns of Fort Morgan added to the fire. The guns of Ilatteras started in bravely to S respond, but soon found that it was j useless. Their shots could not reach the ships. I The Confederates 011 the warship , were amazed at seeing the shots from ' Ilatteras fall short .of the Yankee ships. Sometimes the fort would cease firing and then open with a round or two simply to show tight. The guns of : the fleet sometimes dropped a shot among the Confederate ships, but none of tlietn was struck. Finally the Con federate gunners abandoned their sta j tions and took refuge in the bombproof. When this was packed with about ">OO men, a Yankee shell went iu through the ventilator and landed in the crowd. Fortunately the shell didn't explode, but it resulted in a terrible panic which hastened the fall of the fort. The men | rushed from the place and found cover elsewhere. The magazine lay next to the bombproof, and the thought of what might have happened had the shell traveled through the thin parti tion separating the compartments or ; even exploded in the bombproof was too much for green fighting men to en dure. The fuse of this shell went out, : but soon another exploded directly over the magazine. Fortunately this shell did not set fire to the roof, but it was clear that the enemy had the range of the vitals of the work, and tlipre wasn't a gun on hand strong enough to : land a single shot in the fleet. Captain Barron called a council of war, and at 10:45 a. ui., less than two hours after the firing of the first shot, Ilatti ras was flying the white flag, and the first naval battle of the war was ended. This was not alone the first naval battle and naval victory of the war, but the first unequivocal victory on land or sea. The surrender was uticon ditional, and over (>OO soldiers, with their officers, and the armament of two forts fell into Stringham's hands. The Confederate warships sailed away into the sound for a brief respite of liberty. The Ilatteras victory was the begin ning of the conquest of all the North Carolina coast and was a blow to blockade running from that region. The Confederates fought tenaciously for the control of those waters even to tho Iml of the war, but with the fall of Ilatteras went the key to the region. Stringham's work was quickly and thorotighly done. OEOKGE IJ. Kll.MF.lt. rho*e \nlnl Knct-M.

I have known of small quant it i< - 01 i'ax to be fed in the sheaf as a .'a! :ui 1 oilim-al, ■which pave most gratifying trains. Tin se calves took on flesh v< ry rapidly on a {Train ration of snipped and -hell oil corn aint a sheaf <,f flux led four times per week. Our feeders an; lai .: L\ ap] . ciatii the fact that the < t of producing ' pains eu any animal ineie;.-:es with' each month of his ; re, and that the more rapid the il>e cht ;■ r they will be on tlie average. We cainv>t afford to bring the calf up 1 > 400 or r.OO pounds at weaning time and then allow Lim to M.ind -till for the next three 01* four month ■ durir.s the winter season and spend the first two months on grass in recovering from the starva tion of the previous winter. If it is profitable to feed corn to a 3-year-old steer, it is much more profitable to feed liim during Ills calfhood and early i gl'owli r p.'! ;;,d. If liie c:;if «-aa be made to weigh 400 pounds :,t :x mouths, it should cer tainly weigh 700 pou ids at 12 months, j 1,200 pounds at 18 to L'u months and | I,4(X> pounds or upward at two years, if kept tin 1 tii.it age. These figures may seem large to men who have been buying 3-year-old si< era weighing 1,000 j pounds, I.'.it th yan being duplicated and excelled by mat \ men within the state today who are selling steers of their own raic-ing 1 feeding at IS to , 20 months and weighing 1,200 to 1,500 1 pounds.

Slectl l or C'niv. s. I uied bleed is not only good for a weak calf, but is an excellent remedy for any calf subject to scours. The 1 Kansas experiment station lias just purchased 2«> young calves. Frequently these calves arrive at the station badly affected with the scours. A little dried • blood always bring : about a cure. Recently a test was made with five calves that happened to be scouring at the same time. With two of these dried bloo-l wa ■f> ' : fit r n dut .- r the regu lar feed of milk. With the other three j dried li!= od was fed without changing ! the supply of milk. In t he former case j the calves recovered from the scoursj after two feeds, in the latter after three | feeds. With the 70 head of young I calves under experini nt at the Kansas I Station during the past year there has j not been a single case of scours that! dried blood has fail- tl t-j cheek. Iu feeding dried I'd a teaspoonful at a feed is a great plenty. This should be coat in:, ! until the . -oars disappear. In case of a weak « ilf the allowance may be gradually Inert used to a table spoonful at a fied. To prevent the dried blood from settling to the bottom of the pail, where the calf will be un able to get it, it may be stirred in the milk while the caif is drinking or the milk and blood may he fed immediately after being thoroughly mixed. Siuce dried blood is such a cheap and effective remedy, it will pay any one who raises young calves by hand to have a little available whenever a calf shows signs of disorders iu its digestive tract. It can be obtained from any of the large packers. When ordering, state that the blood is wanted for feed ing purposes. The VnJne of Teak.

Tlie French Dressmaker. Apropos of a recent paragraph about French dressmaking establishments and their methods a correspondent writes to ask what salaries are paid to the workwomen and what chance an American would la . of obtaining a position in one of these houses. We have made inquiries and learn that a woman cutter or fitter in one of the big houses g is fr. m .ST." to ShlO a month, a forewoman on skirts and bodies from SSO to SIOO a month and a good sales woman commands a minimum of s?100.
