Asked to Leave the Union. The Lehigh Valley Coal Company has notified all foremen and bosses thai their services with the company will be more appreciated if they resign from the Mine Workers' Union. The company officials say that a man who has the in terest of his employer at heart cannot serve another and be fathfnl to both. <One operator said: "The interest of the union are in almost an opposite direc tion. A foreman or a boss holds a con fidential position with a coal company, and still he is supposed to do the bidding of the union. It is impossible, hence the request." Among the miners the belief is gener al that the big coal companies are get ting ready to oppose the demands of the miners for a joint conference and a new scale of wages, and the first step in that direction is to get the foremen and bosses out of the union. Meetings were held yesterday by the men affected by the order. The black smiths, firemen, engineers and other general workmen will refuse to obey the order and fight if necessary, being assur ed of the support of the unions. The fire bosses, stable bosses and under fire men who belong to the United Mine Workers will probably resign from that organization. Health Ordinance.

It is said criminal suits will now bo brought against the directors. An Ant For a Pet. One of the queerest little pets ever Been Is the tame ant belonging to a well known scientist. This man keeps tribes of ants in nests which he has made himself and feeds them with honey or sugar through a tube tliat connects with the nests. One day he saw that one of the ants kept coming Into the tube to eat up the honey in the glass bulb at the end. When lie took out the cork that closed Hie bull), the insect came to look for the food, and he offer ed It some honey on the point of a needle, says the New York Tribune. The ant shrank back at first, then drew nearer, feeling about with its an tennae, until It reached the needle. Soon It learned to take the honey off its keeper's finger, although ants are among the most timid of living things, and a new odor or the least movement outside their nests usually drives these little Insects away. This ant is now so tame that it quits the bulb as soon as the cork is removed and goes to find the honey on the sci entist's finger. When its meal is over, it does not try to hurry away, but waits till its master lifts it on a bristle and carries it back to its nest. Low Fares to Pan-A merlcnn Exposition.
