FREELAND, PA., OCTOBER 4, 18U7. Congressman Williams' Views. Congressman Williams is sojourning at Colorado Springs, Colorado. The other day lie was waited upon by a reporter of the Denver lit publican and the following interview took place: "M. B. Williams, member of congress from the center of the Wyoming valley coal fields, Pennsylvania, was in the city yesterday at the Brown Palace hotel. Mr. Williams is a practical miner himself, having risen from the ranks, and now owns and operates one of the largest collieries in the Wyoming fields. '1 have been greatly distressed by the condition of affairs in the coal mining districts,' said he. 'I have been in busi ness for myself since 1878, and am now employing 700 men, and in all that time I have never had a strike and have never had any trouble of any kind with my men. I have always found that it was best for all parties concerned to treat the men right, and that when they were treated right 1 was pretty certain of fair treatment myself.' Continuing, lie said: "1 have had no news from home since the unfortunate affair at llazleton, and am therefore not prepared to express a decided opinion regarding it. I know all the parties concerned, and must admit that I was very much surprised at the action of the sheriff, whom I have always regarded as a remarkably cool and level-headed man. At the same time 1 feared some trouble when the sheriff's force was called in, and on my way West called at the company's oflice in New York and advised them to settle with their men on the best terms possi ble. "From what I have seen in the daily papers. I am inclined to believe that the sheriff was hasty. The right of the men to march peaceably has not yet been definitely settled; it will undoubtedly be carried into tho supreme court, and pending a final decision the utmost care and judgment should have boon exercised in carrying out the decision of the court. Of course, I cannot speak positively on the subject, as there may have been circumstances that have not appeared in the published report. "My men are nearly all Poles and Hungarians. I have got along with them pretty well, but they are so ignor ant tiiat it is difficult to handle them. They do not understand and are extreme ly tenacious. I do not think the em ployment of this class of miners lias been an entire success. "The strikes, when they occur, are very difficult to settle and are a very grave menace to the interests of all parties concerned. The stories that have been published about the low earn ings of the operatives refer in the main to the soft coal regions. In the anthra cite section of the state the men have not been required to work for starvation wages. In the Lehigh valley the wages paid are much lower than in the Wyom ing valley, and 1 believe the men work longer hours then they do with us. "There is no doubt that very serious results are likely to follow this last un fortunate affair at Ha/.leton. and I am afraid it will load to an indefinite pro longation of the strike. 1 think very much of the trouble might have been avoided had there been an earnest effort to come to an understanding with the men, such as I have a ways advised."

The Medical and Surgic-al Reporter gives the following practical advice: "Think deliberately of the house you I live in—your body. Make up your ! mind firmly not to abuse it. Eat noth ing that will hurt it. Wear notihing that distorts or pains it. Do not over load it with victuals or drink or work. Give yourself regular and abundant sleep. Keep your body warmly clad. Do not take cold; guard yourself against it. If you feel the firs* symp toms, give yourself heroic treatment. Get into a fine glow of heat by exer cise. This is the only body you will have in this world. Study deeply and diligently the structure of it, the laws that govern it, the pains and penalty that will surely follow n violation of every law of life and' health." A gentleman who was fishing in a secluded: lake, in New York, became tired andi sleepy. So he anchored his boat near the shore in a shady spot, and lay down for a nap. After awhile he was awakened by something blowing in his face, and* when he opened!his eyes he saw a big stag standing in the water beside the boat, with his nose close to the fisherman's face. The gentleman I lay quite still, rather enjoying the situ ! ation. The stag investigated him in this manner for several minutes, until i another boat came around the corner | into the little cove, ajid then the animal, i with a bound, disappeared in the woods. The gentleman had firearms with him. but, to his credit as a sportsman, be it said, he did not atempt to shoot. A Georgia stor}' from real life: A negro rented a farm from a man who ! had a store, but for everything he need ; cd during the year the renter paid cash. ' At the close of the season he had a fine crop on hand and plenty of money in sight. The rent was paid in full, and lie solicited another year's lease from his ( landlord. "You can't rent from me no more," said the landlord. "I'm done , with you for good." "Didn't 1 pay you for all I got?" asked the negro, "and ain't I ready to paj- 3 011 in advance for another year?'" "That's just where the trouble comes iu," replied the landlord. "You're too fond of pnyin' cash. What I want in my business is a nigger that farms on a credit!" Though the recent Mississippi flood broke the record in Louisiana by three and a half feet, the levee S3"stem pro tected 85 per cent, of the land of the state subject to overflow. The state engineer of Louisiana reports that the total length of the levee lines is 81C miles on. the main river and2so miles on interior streams, and the total width of j the crevasses only one and three-fourth miles. In view of the severity of the j test the engineer claims a high degree of success for the levee system. J All old man died in West Virginia re -1 cently who was wealthy and had made his money in an extraordinary way. He smelled out oil wells. When oper ators were about to begin work 011 an oil tract, this man would walk over the ground, sometimes crawling 011 his hands and knees, sniffing like a dog. According to the stories told about him. he had made dozens of locations for wells, and was invariably successful. It may have been only a lucky guess, : but it is queer that it never failed. ! We are told that the supreme court of California the other da 3' upheld a decision of u lower court which involved a declaration from the bench that the I law dOes not recognize hypnotism. One i of the judges, McFarland, while not dis pensing from the opiniou as it applic-d to that particular case, expressed liis dis agreement with the theor3" involved. Hypnotism, he seemed to think, might in some cases compel recognition by 1 he law. A Maine man who recentl3* sued his neighbor for occupying three inches of his land was not a little discomfited when, a survey proved that lie himself . was the trespasser to the extend of two feet andi eleven inches. Ills overt hrow was complete when his neighbor shook hands with him and told him that the ; fence needn't be moved*. I While the rain was pouring" down in I torrents, a young couple of Caro, Mich., who atteuded a church social, were mar ried in the open. On the lawn Frank Lawrence, the bridegroom, and Miss Sadie, the bride, took their positions, with an umbrella hoisted over their heads, and the clergyman pronounce d them man and" wife. | A Georgia mob recentl3* gave a ncgi o culprit the privilege of choosing the , manner of his death. The victim de sired to kill himself eating water melons, but his captors were unanimous in the belief that such a death would involve no punishment, and that it was not their purpose to reward but to avenge. ! "Nervous prosperity" is a diseu' , ac cording to a Philadelphia physician, | who declares that, it is caused by a man's head being turned b3* success. In. spite of this warning men. will go 011 risking their nerves to catch pros- I perity.

Miss Mary Mcllale, a school teacher, ! was on Thursday granted an alternative • writ against Jeremiah Wood and others, school directors of Bucks township, this • county, and had an alternative writ awarded to compel them to permit her to teach the school or show cause why. I The plaintiff in her petition alleges she 1 was employed at a salarv of $22 a month j to teach, the school for the ensuing year: i that she taught ail day on Tuesday, Sep ! tember 14. 18U7, but on the next day she found the school barricaded and she was I refused admittance by two of the school directors. She alleges that she as el for a reason and was told that after her appointment the school directors learned | that she was Irish and a Catholic and would rather see the schoolhouso burn down than have her teach. Editor Joyce Found Guilty. Thomas J. Joyce, editor of the Black Diamond, of Mahanoy City, was on trial : last week in the Dauphin county court j j en a charge of libel, preferred by Joseph : Wyatt, of Shenandoah, who was scr- j | goant-at-arms of the house at the last | session of the legislature. He alleges i I that Joyce printed an article in his j ; paper relative to Wyatt | remising half j of his salary to Senator Coyle for the ! appointment. The prosecutor was rep- ( | resented by Senator MeCarrell, and the ; defendant by John E. Fox. Wyatt took the stand and denied the charge. The! jury returned a verdict of guilty.

A day of glancing arrow poirAs, Yef swathed in shadows, olive deep, When curling leaves were shaken down And drifted in a pungent heap; When scarlet liowers fell asltep. Each In a filmy pillow-pod, And all the world was half adream — The day we gathered golden-rod. So still the air, in passing by A rick of gathered corn- we heard A harvest spider's startled flight Wherein a yellow blade was stirred. Some late and lingering autumn bird Sang low. his lazy headanod: No haste nor harshness seemed to mar The day we gathered golden-rod. Wild bramble's trailed a thorny web; The sumac's lighthouse towered high: And damson plum.s made purple spots In orchards that we wandered by. A llgirt was In the autumn sky; A warmth was in the autumn sod: Deep autumn turquols tipped the heights, The day we gathered golden-rod. Our ways have somehow slipped apart Since then, and you would think it strange The trifles of one idle day Arise through every bitter change And follow me In life's wide range; To me, perhaps, it seems as odd That Time will never let me lose The day we gathered golden-rod. —Ha-ttie Whitney, In Woman's Home Com panion.
