Goal Digger a Good Investment. Little rain has fallen during several weeks past and as a result the river is falling down to one of the lowest points of the season, which proves a big advantage to Mr. Le Due, who is plying his coal digger for all it i.s worth. There is scarcely a day but the queer-looking craft may be seen from Ihe river bridge, steaming about in the vicinity of the "bend" in its search for coal. Neither is there a day when the digger is at work hut it brings back a Hat boat load of coal. Mr LeDu.? says he has no idea how much coal lie haß extracted from the river, but about twelve tons per day are the lowest figures which he can accept as an average at present. The season has now advanced far enough lo convince iiim that the money re quired to equip the "digger" was very well invested. Masquerade Party. Mrs. A. O.

THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—When congress assembled at noon today the reading of President. Roosevelt's mes sage on theCubau reciprocity question was begun. It was not a long docu ment. The closest interest was paid its reading by the members. The message in full, is as follows: "To the senate and house of repre sentatives: I have convened the con gress that it may consider the legisla tion neccessary to put into operation the commercial treaty with Cuba, which w as ratified by the senate at its last session, and subsequently by the Cuban government. I deem such leg illation demanded not only by our in terest but by our honor. We cannot with propriety abandon the course up on which we have so wisely embark ed. When the acceptance of the Piatt amendment was required from Cuba, by the action of the cougress of the United States, this government there by definitely committed itself to the policy of fieating Cnba as occupying a unique position as regards this coun try. It was provided that when the island became a free and independent republic she should stand in such close relations with us as in certain rospects to come within our system of interna tional policy; and it necessarily fol lowed that she must also to a certain degree become included within the lines of our economic policy. "Situated as Cuba is it would not be possible for this country to permit the strategic abuse of the island by any foreign military power. It is for this reason that certain limitations have been imposed upon her financial policy aud that naval stations have been conceded by her to the United States. The negotiations as to the de tails of these naval stations are on the eve of completion. They are so situ ated as to prevent any idea that there is the intention ever to use them against Cuba, or otherwise than for the protection of Cuba from the as saults of foreign foes, and for the bet ter safeguarding of American interests in the waters south of us. "These interests have been laigely increased by the consequence of the war with Spain anil will bo still fur ther increased by the building of the isthmian canal. The granting to us by Cuba of the naval stations above alluded to is of the utmost importance from a military standpoint, and is proof of the good taith with which Cuba is treating us. Cuba has made great progress since her independence was established. She has advanced steadily in every way. She already stands high among her sister republics ot the new world. She is loyalty ob serving her obligations to us, and she is entitled to like treatment by us The treaty submitted to you lor ap proval secures to the United States economic advantages as great as those given to Cuba. Not an American in terest is sacrificed. By the treaty a large Cuban market is secured to our producers. It is a market which lies at our doors, which is already large, which is capable of great expansion, and which is especially important to the development of our export trade. "It would be indeed shortsighted for ua to rclusL to take a.lvautairu ol such an opportunity,and to force Cuba Into making arrangements with other countries to our disadvantage. The reciprocity treaty stands by itself. It is demanded on considerations of broad national policy as well as by our eco nomic interests. It will do harm to no industry. It will benefit many in dustries. It is in the interest of our people as a whole, both because of its importance from the broad standpoint of international policy, aud because economically it intimately concerns us to develop and secure the rich Cuban market for our farmers, art isans, merchants and manufacturers. Finally, it is desirable as a guaranty of tlie good faith of our nation to wards her young sister republic to the south, whoso welfare must ever bo closely bound with ouis. We gave her liberty. We are knit to her by the memories of the blood and the courage of our soldiers who fought for her in war; by the memories of the wisdom and integrity ot our administrators who served her in peace and who start ed her so well 011 the difficult path of self-government. We must help her onward and upward, aud iu helping her we shall help ourselves. "Tin- foregoing considerations caus c<l the negotiation of the treaty with CuL;» and its latification by the senate. They now with equal force support the legislation l>y the congress which by the terms of 111»• tieaty is necessary to render it operative. A failure to enact such legislation would come per iously near a repudiation of the pledg ed faith of the nation. "i transmit, herewith the treaty, as amended hy the senate and ratified by the Cuban government. •' THEODOR E ROOSE VE L.T. "White House, Nov 10, I'.HKJ."

The servant girl problem was the principle subject of consideration in the Cougn ss of Mother-, in e-siou at Scranton li t we« l;, and some surpris ing Ml *«••• solution of it.ii is an old problem and one of constantly increa-ing com plexity and vet when Mr- Howard W. Lippincott submitted the plainest an swer, those about le-r, according to the report of one of there wspaper re porters, "opened tleir eyes a trifle wider than usual." Probably that is true but the obviously ju.-t proposition ought to have given it a cordial w< 1- como. Speaking til servant girls Mrs. Lip pincott said : "We should treat them as human being.- and in t a- 111 ichincs. We tell them they must not have com pany; that they must have no idle time; that they 11111-t not no out. The fact is they should bo made more a part of t'ie family." That 1- strictly true and it is because of the absence of such consideration for their feelings, their ambition- and their comforts that flu 1 servant girl proposition has grown into so involved and intricate a problem. In former years servant girls were so treated and they were content, happy and helpful. The idea that the opening up of new avenues of employment for uirls is the influencing cause of the scarcity of servant uirls is without foundation in fact. It is true that if there were 110 opportunity for employment •>f girls in factories many of those now so en gaged would be driv n by necessities to domestic service But as a matter of fact girls who would pi fer do mestic service are driven to the factory because of the treatment in the more congenial employment and if the tri at ment had been different the service would not have been deserted.

Commenting on the Bechtel tragedy the Easton Free Press says: "Those who are familiar with the conditions existing there state very positively that they know of no other city where there is so much permitted, in a pub lic way, that adversely affects the moral atmosphere of a community and even contaminates social conditions. They declare Allentown is a wide open town, and that thoso citizens of the place, even ministers, who rise up and rebuke the immorality existing there, and permitted bv the police au thorities, are frowned upon, referred to as narrow minded, denounced in public and private and made to un derstand that their opinions are not wanted. The fact is that vice and im morality are winked at in Allentown chietlv for a business reason. There is money in it for those hotel men whose properties are vile dens; there is mo ney in it for the keepers of those sa loons where people of both sexes assem ble in brazen publicity,and to many a property owner who receives big re turns for houses which aro of worse character than some of the hotels Even merchants find it profitable to be in a city with a wide open reputa tion.

ANTHRACITE Will I NEVER BE CHEAPER Anthracite coal will never cost lest per ton than it does at present,accord- < inn to an operator, as the tendency is i to increase,because while the expenses or mining and the operation of mach inery have been reduced to the min imum, the price of labor is advancing and the contiiioas lengthening of the underground gangways causes the out lay of money to increase. Consequent ly the consumer has to pay the differ ences. When President Thomas of the Le high Valley was in Wilkesbarre, last week he was questioned at some length on this particular point, but lie refus ed to make any comment, saying that lie would issue a statement, and he did so Saturday. Among other things he said: "It is strongly probable that from this time 011 the cost of putting anthracite on the cars will gradually increase, part ly on account of the continuous lengthening of the underground haul I in the majority of the mines, but prin cipally because the different classes of mine emloyes show a determination to exact an advancing wage scale." Wilkesbarre officials talked very readily along the same lines. They called attention to the fact that at some of the mines the chambers are miles away from the shaft and the work of conveying the coal and cars is dillicult and expensive. Besides it requires additional men and boys to move the cars from place to place. Again, there is a general tendency ou the part of the employes to s-icure increased wages and shorter hours, therefore it can be readily observed i that owing to these prevailing con ditions tho price of authracito coal will inorease. It may be slightly reduced, accord ing to the variations of the market, but the general feeling prevails at the present time, that when the pric3 schedule is arranged next year by the operators, the prices for coal per ton will have a higher basis than it has at the present time.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.— The an nual report of acting Adjutant Gener al Hall of the Army was made public today. It deals with every phase of the military establishment. The act ual strength ot the army on October 1"), UK):!, was 3,fiSl officers and 55,500 enlisted mtu. There were lost to the army during the year ended June 30, 1903, 2!i,27'.» men. as follows: 138 officers, of whom 25 were killed in action or died of wounds or disease ; 28,141 enlisted men of whom H37 were killed in action or died of wounds or disease, the re mainder repesentiug men discharged for expiration of term of service, for disability, by sentence of court mar tial. desertions and retirements. Attention is directed to the work of military attaches abroad, which the report states has been very satisfact ory, and proves the wisdom of select ing officers peculiarly adapted to this delicate semi-diplomatic work, which secures to the army the most recent, and valuable information at a mini mum cost. Among the recommendations regard ing the organized military are that the attention of Congress be invited to the advisability of a provision in the appropriation bill for the next fiscal year giving toiage to the horses of mounted militia troops and of mount ed militia officers while at manoeu vers; for per diem allowance to be made for the hire of horses of militia troops and batteries while engaged in manoeuvers; for the furnishing of feul for cooking and heating purposes by the United States while engaged in manoeuvers, and for the furnishing of straw and bay for bedding of militia soldiers while engaged in manoeuvers. In order to increase the attendano at drills and thus secure increased effi ciency of the organized militia, that governors be permitted to utilize the allotment ot their respective States under the section 1 Mil,revised statutes for the purpose of furnishing a per diem allowance, not in any case to ex ceed 43 cents per drill of one and one half hours, for the purposo of paying enlisted men of the organized militia for attendance at each of the tsventy four drills annually required by stat ute. That as a precedent to participation in manoeuvers, the states and territ ories require a sufficient physical ex amination for entrance into their org anized militia. That states be permitted to retain rifhs and carbines now in use by mil itary schools and colleges instead of throwing them in on receipts of new arms.
