Address all or- ders to THE STAR, Elk Lick, Pa. Riciarp CROKER has risen from his seat in England. to remark that “the Democratic party has no chance of success 1n the United States this year.” Which goes to show that Mr. Croker’s sight at, 3,000 miles is better than that of some other folks across a street.— Johnstown Tribune. THE strikers of Garrett have learned a lesson that all citizens should have at heart, namely, that when the courts speak they must be obeyed first, and inquiries into their right to give orders made afterwards. It seems harsh that any power in a free country has the right to bath issue commands and deal with those who disobey them ; but that is the law, and laws must be obeyed.— Johnstown Journal. Ir is said that every bachelor in Co- res, no matter hia age, is regarded as a child, dressed as a child, and treated as achild. Even if he be seventy, he may not knot up his hair in manly fashion, or assume the garb of a man. Here is a suggestion for the solution of the great bachelor problem in this country. It is better than taxing, and it ought to be put into effect to a certain extent right here in Salisbury. Ir is said upon good suthority that a Prohibition editor is wanted at Berlin to take the place of Editor Cook. Our informant says that the present back- ers of the Gleaner are very tired of Mr. Cook, saying that it is plain to see that his policy ie doing the cause more harm than good, and rumor has it that they want to get rid of him as soon as possible, all of which we would be sorry to see, as “Cookie” is such an “amoosin cuss.” Tne Fayette Republican gives it out that an Infidel paper is published in the holy city of Connellsville, and Edi- tor Begley says: “There is no room for an Infidel newspaper in Fayette county, and the one that is issued from our midst should be removed.” It is none of our business what kind of pa- pers they have over in Fayette county, but we have always been suspicious of men who are ready to refer to- others as infidels, and argue that they should not be patronized on that account. We fear that Editor Begley is making a very cheap effort to gain patronage by shouting “infidel” at a competitor. Between an infidel and a profane, hyp- ocritical, liquor-guzzling church mem- ber, of which we see many every day, we have more respect for the former than the latter. Nine times out of ten the man who cries down others by shouting “infidel,” is a fraud of the first water, and is only seeking to profit through the prejudices, narrow- mindedness and fanaticism of others like himself. ea Ir there is any man in this world that we respect more than any other, it is the laboring man. We do not mean the idle, shiftless, worthless hyena that is always harping on his hard lot, and at the same time is too lazy to make an honest. vigorous effort to improve his condition. Neither do we mean the windy, insolent chump who is a mere hanger-on of a labor organization whose rights and powers he is ever ready to abuse, and who at all times is ready to hold the organization over others as a club, for intimidating and boycotting purposes. But we do re- spect the honest, manly, self-reliant toiler who tries to make the best of life, who treats himself and his family right, pays his debts and tries to ae- quire a home of his own. Such a toiler has the respect of all honest men, and such a toiler usually lives a happy, comfortable and contented life, barr- ing sickness or accident, which may come to rich and poor alike. To such a man we would rather take our hat off than to give such recognition to the crowned heads of mighty empires. Such men are back of all the good that comes from labor organization, and when such men are in the majority in an organization, that organization is bound to become a power for good. But when “smart alecks” are in the majority, the kind that join organiza- iions simply to be carried along, noth- ing but detriment tothe working class- es can be the result. Weed out the big windies, hangers-on and deadbeats. ——— Tur Rockwood Gazette occasionally sees dire things looming up in the near future. Last week it had a vision of rivers of blood and great slaughter, hinting that much gore would bave to be spilled before labor questions could be “settled right.” Come off, Charley, come off. Drop your extreme periodie- al pessimism, and look about you. If you cannot see that the laboring men of our country are living far better than they did a quarter of a century ago, it is plain that you have a badly befogged vision. If you cannot see that the general tendency is for a higher standard-of living among-labor- ing men, fewer hours and better pay, more comforts and luxuries, then, ine deed, you should consult an expert oc- culist... True, wages are lower thie year than last, for wages always have varied, and they always will. Tt is but the outcome of the law of supply and de- mand. There has been many =a rise and many a fall in wages and prices during the last 25 years, and there will be many during the next quarter of a century. But with all the changes that have taken place, the working man’s lot has been and will continue to im- prove. There may be retrogression at times, but the general tendency hae been and will be in his favor. Go into the homes of laboring men today and compare them with the homes of men who toiled in cur mines, mills and other works of a-generation ago. Let us make the comparison right in our own communities. Twenty-five years ago, in Salisbury, osgans, pianos, Brus- sells carpet, upholstered furniture, ete., were a rarity in the homes of the rich, while now you ean fini the things mentioned in many of our working men’s homes, and many of them, too, own very pretty homes. The same change gan be noted nearly everywhere throughout this broad land and country of ours, and deny it a8 you may, the fact still remains unchanged. Of course, a considerable element of the working populdtion is’ always hard up. and that will always be the case with some, no matter what wages they re- ceive. It is the nature of some people to be hard up, and it is hard to change men’s natures. No, no, Charley, you must not allow yourself to get’ so pes- simistical and anarchistical. Your last week’s editorial on “Triumph and Greed and its Consequences” was a very lame dnck. It reads too much like the socialistic-anarchistic speeehes of Emma Goldman and other cranks of that kind. While we do not pretend to say that we poor printers, miners, woodsmen, farm hands and other la- borers are getting all that is coming to ue, we nevertheless should not deny the fact that the gener.] tendency has been and still is in favor of the work- ing classes. Of course, as we have be- fore stated, the poor man’s interests will vary, and that is also the case with the interests of the rich and the middle classes. Don’t lose sight of the fact, Charley, that much depends on the man. Very often we hear poor men of middle age remark: “If I had only taken care of my earnings, I would no longer need to do any hard work. That is the case with many, and we regret to confess that it is too much the case even with THE Star man. It's the truth, however, and an honest con- fession is good for the soul. There is no need yet to invest in high boots to wade through blood that will flow on account of labor troubles. Most of the labor troubles will eventually be ‘“set- tled right” without fire and sword, the visions of our Rockwood brother to the contrary, notwithstanding. —————————— THE ELECTRIC ROAD. It Will be Built Soon, Says S. H. Waddell. S. H. Waddell, a Pittsburg capitalist, was here this week looking over the territory that will be traversed by the Meyersdale & Salisbury street railway. He was well pleased with the country and the business outlook. He said that he is now interested in the road, add- ing that it will be built soon. Now then, let people be reasonable with the company in the matter of rights of way. Those who own the land that the road will go through, must not expect the earth, but should be content with reasonable prices and concessions. Most of the land owners could well afford to give free right of way, considering how it will enhance the value of their lands to have con- venient access to trolley cars. Don’t act the hog, land owners, for the build- ing of the road now depends only upon your reasonableness in the matter of granting right of way. -———— GREATLY ALARMED BY A PERSISTENT COUGH, BUT PERMANENT- LY CURED BY CHAMBERLAIN’S COUGH REMEDY. Mr. H. P. Burbage, a student at law, in Greenville, S. C., had been troubled for four or five years with a continuous cough which he says, “greatly alarmed me, causing me to fear that I was in the first stage of consumption.” Mr. Burbage, having seen Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy advertised, concluded to try it. Now read what he says of it: “I soon felt a remarkable change and after using two bottles of the twenty- five cent size, was permanently cured.” Sold by E. H. Miller. 6-1 ANOTHER INJUNCTION. Sheriff Coleman Served Injunction on 38 Striking Miners in This Vieinity. An injunction as sweeping in its char- acter as those granted in this county recently upon the petitions of the Som- erset and Garrett Coal Companies, was issued on Monday last by Judge Fran- cis J. Kooser. upon the complaint of the Merchants Coal Company, who al- lege that the striking miners have in- terfered with the operation of their mines in the Elk'Lick region. The writs, which were placed in the hands of Sheriff Coleman for 38 officers and members of the local Union Mine Workers of America, enjoin the re- spondents and all other persons hav- ing knowledge of the injunction, from interfering in any manner with the persons in the employ of. or. who may become employed by the Merchants’ Coal Company. They are enjoined from “entering upon the premises of the complainant or on the highways of the county or in any of the streets of any town in the county, for the purpose of interfering with employes of the complainant.” Sheriff Coleman was here on Tuesday and served writs upon the following named persons: Jefferson Garber, Henry Mull, John Mull, Jacob Beal, John Hanger, Ed- ward Turvey, Jeremiah Rittenour, Henry Patton, R. C. Martin, M. 8hartz- er, Adam Sevitski, Ed. Burns, M. H. Tipton, H. H. Tipton, J. H. Washington, Frank Javorwski, J. C. Anderson, Joseph Cresick, Frank’ Mientorski, George Tedrow, John Redlinski, Joe Kowall, Samuel Mason, Richard Hick- son, Joseph Fatton, William Beal, Charles Beam, John Hotchkiss, George Bowman, Martin Bowman, Grant Tur- vey, Stanley Levan, Joseph Sambr, Michael Murphy, John Torkish, Frank Slolich, Adam Kratzinski and Paul Hoffman. WHEN THE SAP RISES Weak lungs should be careful. Coughs and colds are dangerous then.. One Minute Cough Cure cures coughs and colds and gives strength to the lungs. Mrs. G. E. Fenner, of Marion, Ind. says, “I suffered with a cough until I run down in weight from 148 to 92 lbs. I tried a number of remedies to no avail until used One Minute Cough Cure. Four bottles of this wonderful remedy cured me entirely of the cough, strengthened my lungs and restored me to my normal weight, health and strength. Sold by E. H. Miller. 6-1 STRIKE BROKEN. A Few Men Working at Tub Mill and Merchants Mine No. 1—Many More Expected to Join Them Next Week. The strike is broken at Tub Mill and Merchants Mine No. 1, and unless all signs fail, it is broken for good, so far as those two mines are concerned. A few men are working at each place, and it is said that many more will join them next week. We are sorry indeed te see the min- ers of this region working for a lower rate of wages than is paid: in the Georges Creek region, and for this state of affairs no one is to blame so much as a lot of unprincipled labor leaders from other states, assisted by a few ignoramuses in this region, who, in conjunction with the walking dele- gates from abroad, have been making no efforts toward a compromise, but who have been dabbling in politics, hobnobbing with politicians, and med- dling into the affairs of the Republican party in Somerset county. In other words, instead of doing their duty as United Mine Workers, the said officiuls have been putting in their time strut- ting about in fine clothes, rubbing their bellies up against beer counters, heifer- ing around with politicians, ete. and any fool could plainly see all along that they didn’t want to effect a com- promise and get the men of this region back to work. That would have spoil- ed their soft snap, and for that reason they kicked on Meager’s men going back at 60 cents per ton, the same rate that the Creek men accepted without a protest. Had the strike managers from abroad made any effort to do so, this whole region would today be work- ing at 60 cents per ton. But we fear it is too late now, for the strike is hope- lessly lost to the miners, and it amounts to practically the same as an uncon- ditional surrender. Matters are not as we would like to see them, but as a lot of unprincipled leaders from abroad have made them. —We will send you this paper and the Philadelphia Daily North American, $3.75. Subscribe now, and | orders to THE STAR, Elk Lick, Pa. tf L& OUR GREATEST BARGAIN! | both papers for a whole year, for only | address all | The Collection of Information Con- eerning Radium in the United” States. The United States Geological Survey is collecting information concerning the occurrence of radio-active minerals in the United States and would be pleased to have the cooperation of the public in this investigation. Radio activity has been observed in many minerals and also in many other sub- stances, such as slags, tailings from concentrators, slimes, chemical wastes, water from mineral springs, deep well waters, and petroleums, and it is pos- sible that the number of known radio- active minerals may be greatly increas- ed. Anyone who has found such min- erals or has observed radio-activity in any other substances is urged to give the Survey full details regarding them and the localities from which they were obtained: All infermation_per- taining to the subject will be welcomie, and any advice which the Burvey may be able to give in return will be cheer fully furnished. For the guidance of those who be- lieve that they possess specimens of minerals containing radio-active ele- ments it may be said that the simplest means of detecting radio-activity in e suspected substance is by the use of 2 photographic plate—the more sensi- tive the better. The plate should net be removed from its enclosing black paper. The specimen to be tested should be laid upon this black paper in a dark room, and left there from two to fifteen hours, a small metal object having first been placed between the specimen and the black paper on the plate. Instead of the metal object, few small nails may be arranged so as to form the initial of the owner and left on the paper-covered plate below the specimen. After thus remaining in the dark room the plate should be developed in the usual manner. If the specimen tested has radio-active pow- ers, a photograph of the metal object or of the nail-formed initial will be produced on the plate exactly as if the plate had been exposed to the sun’s rays. The test should be made, if pos- sible, with from half a pound to a pound of the material. Persons sending in specimens should be careful that each specimen is prop- erly labeled with the name and post- office address of the sender, the name of the mine or claim from which it came, and the state, county, city, vill- age, mountain or district in which the deposit is located. If it is desired that the specimens should be returned, a request to that effect should be made. To those desiring them, the Survey will mail postal franks, which will enable any one to send free of postage a box of specimens weighing not more than four pounds. Interesting specimens are especially desired for the Survey’s two exhibits at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, to be held in St. Louis from April 30 to November 30 of the present year. These exhibits will be general and varied in character. They will include specimens of every known radio-active substance, whether obtained from min- eral or ores, from mineral waters or from petroleum wells. Authentic specimens of radium compounds will also be shown. Everything relating to the source, manufacture, and applica- tion of radium will be exhibited, in- cluding all chemicals obtained from the separation of various radium com- pounds and all instruments and de- vices by which it is proposed to apply radio-activity in medicine science, and the arts. An interesting feature will be the portraits and the publications of celebrated radium discoverers and in- vestigators, together with photographs of their laboratories and apparatus, and autograph letters from some of them. Two convenient halls will be set aside for demonstration of the wonders of radium. In one will be grouped the specimens of ores and minerals con- taining radium, and careful note will be made of their effects upon various substances. In the other hall illustrat- ed lectures will be given twice daily on a variety of subjects relating to the history of the discovery of radium, its nature, and its possibilities. Its mode of occurrence, the methods used in separating it from radium ores, the concentration of its activities, and the manifold uses to which these remark- able radio-active substances may be put will all be described. Cinemata- graph Hall will be ro arranged that it can be easily darkened, and different highly active specimens of radium com- pounds will be exhibited in it as affect- ing the diamond, willemite, kunzite, | . . and other radio-responsive substances. { All communications regarding the | collection and examination of radio- | active specimens by the Survey and | concerning its radium exhibit at St. | Louis should be addressed to Mr George F. Kunz, 40 East 25th Street, New York City. LE
