Dickson, of Scranton, 25 years old, was killed yesterday at the Elmwood culm washery of the Hillside Coal Company, at Avoca. He was the son of A. W. Dickson, one of the most widely known business men of Scran ton. In some manner he was caught by the endless chain running Into the washery and dragged into tho cog wheels, where ho was ground to pieces. Dickson was filling a position vacated by a striker when ho met death. The largest verdict ever given in a similar suit was awarded to Arthur Mc- Neill. the twelve-year-old boy who sued the Millvillo Coal Company. lie was given §0,500 and his mother $1,300 by the jury at Wilkesbarro yesterday after a three days' trial. McNeill was a breaker boy and was badly injured while working in the Leo Colliery of tho com pany. Judgo Endlich yesterday declined to issue a preliminary Injunction asked for by the American Iron and Steel Com pany against their striking employes who gathered near their Reading works. The company alleged that the defendants and others were interfering with men who wanted to work. John Maguire, mine inspector for the Pottsville district, has resigned. The resignation will become effective June 1. Mr. Maguire has held tho office for about eight years, and is recognized as one of the most capable officials in the state. Ho resigns to accept a position under one of tho largo coal companies. James McUuire, of Miner's Mills, has instituted suit against the Lehigh Valley Railroad for $25,000 damages for the loss of his son James, who was drowned on March 1. by the breaking of the bridge at White Haven while a train of cars was being taken across the structure. Judge A. L. Shay, at Pottsville, sen tenced William Jones, colored, of Cam. den, N. J., to twelve years' immprison ment, ho having been found guilty of murder in the second degree. Ho stab bed William Ufalituus to death in Shen andoah. Decoration Day at Niauara Falls. Special low Jares via the Lehigh Val- j ley Railroad.

NIQNljp-yiA B El CURRENT COMMENT Srief Discussions of Political and Other Matters of Public Interest. ANDREW J. PALM. The citizens of Pittsburg have been gold-bricked from every point of the political compass, until the intelligent portion refuse to take stock in any more deals or promises. They have been driven to the conclusion, after a long experience, that the official pat ronage of the city has been traded back and forth with as little concern as boys trade jack-knives, and they will put the stamp of their disapproval on the whole business when they get another whack at the gang that has used the city, as Den Focht says, for the purpose of plunder • a o True to his antediluvian instincts Roosevelt wants a man of blood for governor of Pennsylvania. It is re ported that in speaking to Gen. Ding ham, of Philadelphia, recently, Roose velt said: "You people in Pennsylvania want to be careful this year, why hot nominate Gen. Brooke for governor?" Anybody so it is somebody who wears shoulder straps and pretends to be a fighter is about Roosevelt's size. He ought to have lived before civilization pretended to abandon the theory that the great majority of men were made simply to be murdered in war for the glory of some military chieftain and his satellites. He is doing all he can to encourage the brutal old principle that might makes right and that wholesale murder in the name of pa triotism is glorious. It Is remarkable how odious the pro tective tariff is declared to be even b$ the most radical tariff organ when it admits the truth through carelessness or other cause. They all join in de manding the repeal of the duty or wood pulp. They strenuously insist that it is simply a tax on intelligence, as it increases the price of the paper through which they teach their con fiding readers the benefits of a protec tive tariff. They are quite right in in sisting that the tariff is a tax on in telligence, for it must tax to the ut most any man's intelligence to uphold so monstrous a doctrine. The duty on wood pulp is not a whit worse than it is on a thousand other things about which one never hears a whimper ol complaint from the protective organs that are so ready to squeal when they are hit; but are indifferent to the groans of others who are robbed sys tematically by the protective humbug The whole protective system is a gi gantic fraud, forcing money from the many to put into the pockets of the few. The damnable outrages perpetrated in the name of patriotism and for the purpose of benevolent assimilation in the Philippines are coming to light day after day, and the record is enough to make a man ashamed of his race. The only sensible thing to do was to keep entirely away from all such imperial istic ventures, but as that was not done the only sensible thing now is tc withdraw every American soldier at once from the islands, for we never had a shadow of right there except the title recognized by savages and bar | barians, that might makes right. What! leave them to kill one another? Cer tainly, if they feel like it. They would kill themselves cheaper and more hu manely than we are doing it for them. Oh! but we want to make Christians of them. But a live heathen is better than a dead Christian, and if we are to lie judged by our army a live heathen is even better than a live Christian, j Yes, but some other bad nation would go in and capture these poor people that we have boon treating so kindly. It isn't at all likely that any other na tion would he so foolish, but if it should attempt such a thing it might learn wisdom in the fool's school of experience, just as England is taking a lesson in South Africa from the Doers and as we are doing in the ] Philippines. The military man whose ; trade is killing, burning, wounding and | plundering and the trust magnate who j wants other worlds to conquer are in : favor of continuing the war in the Philippines, but all good people are sick and tired of the wicked folly of trying to run the whole* world. I Watch the dale on your paper. | MISS MIFFETS j | AND TOMMY | | By S. T. STERN Copyright, 1002. by the o| S. S. McClure Company >■£ Miss Miffetts, the stenographer, had lost her breastpin. That was all. And yet there was as much ailo In the office as though a panic were raging in the Street Tompkins, the book keeper, got down 011 his knees. Doddle by. the head clerk, absently searched every nook and cranny of ills desk Miss Miffetts herself was in tears. It <vas a keepsake from mamma. It had three lovely rubies and a diamond—a real diamond. 6h, dear, she was sure —absolutely positive—that she had it on her dress when she came to the of Qce that morning! Despite all efforts to recover it the pin remained in obstl nate obscurity. It was then they sum moned Tommy, the new otflee boy. They did not even know his name Tompkins said "Richard," but Tommj did not stir. Let them come and get him. They were only clerks, after all. Doddleby called "Jack," but Tommy persisted at the switchboard. Then Esterbrook, the margin clerk, spoke. Ilis tone was not half as loud as that of either of the others, yet Tommy came. Folks always seemed to come when Esterbrook spoke. "Whatchewant?" asked Tommy. "Miss Miffetts has lost her pin. She had it this morning. It is not here now. Do you know anything about it?" "Sure," answered Tommy, with as tonishing celerity. "What!" gasped Doddleby. "You don't mean to say"— "I do," said Tommy. "I can see it from here. So can you if you use your eyes. It's right there caught 011 her dress. Say, my name is Tommy. Don't forgit it." At noon Miss Miffetts came to the switchboard. "I thank you, Thomas," said she sweetly. Tommy looked up. lie took her all in in a glance—the trim little figure clad in unrelieved black save where a band of white set off her full throat, the wavy black hair, the brown eyes that danced. It was all over in a moment. The next day Tommy wore a new necktie and his Sunday shoes, and his hair was brushed to mirror flatness. Did Miss Miffetts note the change? That problem worried him so much that he forgot the telephone once or twice find earned a choice collection of rather forcible epithets. When he wasn't pondering the prob lem of his own appearance, he was watching Miss Miffetts as she bent over her machine. Before night he hated Doddleby, who had dared to speak to her with flippancy. Tompkins, too, had incurred his dislike for joking with her. But Esterbrook he hated worst of all; Esterbrook, with his broad shoulders and his well lltting clothes. She was too friendly with Es terbrook. When they left the otlice to gether, Tommy was half tempted to follow. That fellow Esterbrook was not to be trusted. As time went on Tommy's infatua tion for the pretty stenographer grew. To nil outward appearance Miss Mif fetts took small notice of his existence. Sometimes she said good morning. llow bright the world was! More often she did not. The earth was a gloomy spot after all. After awhile he cherish ed other desperate ambitions. lie hop ed that the building would burn down and he could carry her to the street in his arms. Then again he waited for Esterbrook to insult her. Tommy could then pull out a pistol and shoot him— shoot him dead—r-i-g-h-t t-h-r-o-u-g-h t-h-e h-e-a-r-t. But, no; the building re mained # UUConsumed, and Esterbrook refused to be other than polite and nice. So Tommy sat at the telephone switchboard and hoped. One night he came into the office aft er the others had left it. Miss Miffetts was there—alone. ITesently Miss Mif fetts donned her hat and coat. She put her hand into her pocket and pulled it out empty. Then she started in to cry. "Thomas!" sobbed Miss Miffetts. "Yes, miss. Anything I can do for you?" "If you please, Thomas, I have for gotten my purse, and I haven't a cent to take me home. Cun you lend me my fare?" Tommy brought forth a dime and handed it to her. She turned to go. Then Tommy lied. "If you please, miss, that's my last coin. We'll have to go home together, miss, if you don't mind, miss, and please, miss, I take the west side elevated." So did the stenographer. They push ed their way up the crowded station and into the car. Then Tommy learned that Miss Miffetts lived with two chums. Miss Miffetts learned that Tommy was alllicted with a brace of parents and four brothers and sisters. "llow old do you think 1 am?" asked Miss Miffetts confidentially. "Nineteen," answered Tommy. "Correct. Ar.d you?" "Oh, I'm sixteen. But I'll grow older some day," he added sententiously. Tommy saw Miss Miffetts to her door and meandered homeward 011 clouds. That night he astonished his father by imjuirlug whether "a feller could marry a girl he was younger than." On being iffformed that such an obstacle was no bar to matrimony, lit; swallowed hard and went to bed hap py. The next day Miss Miffetts said, "Good morning, Thomas," and returned his nickel, with thanks. Esterbrook thanked him, too, and said he was an "all right fellow." What business was it of Esterbrook's? Tommy bated him worse, much worse, than ever before. After that Miss Miffvtta spoke to him IF YOU m SICK And Need Medicine for Your Kidneys, Liver, Bladder or Blood, Get the Best. Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. If you are suffering from kidney or bladder disease, the doctor asks: "Do you desire to urinate often, and are you compelled to get up frequently during the night? Does your back pain you? Does yfiur urine stain linen? Is there a scalding pain in passing it, and is it difficult to hold the urine back? If so, your kidneys or bladder are diseased." Try putting some of your urine in a glass tumbler, let it stand twenty-four hours. If there is a sediment, or a eloudv, milky appearance, your kidneys are sick. Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Rem edy will surely relieve and cure the most distressing cases of those dread diseases, and no physician can prescribe a medicine that equals it for kidney, liv er, bladder and blood diseases, rheu matism, dypepsia and chronic constipa tion. Walter D. Miller, of Delhi, N. Y., writes: "I suffered for years with kidney trouble and severe pains in my back, at times It was so bad I could hardly walk. My stomach also troubled me and I frequently had twinges of rheu matism. I suffered a great deal and received no benefit until I began the use of Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. After taking ft a short while it cured me." Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Rem edy, is for sale by all druggists, at 81 a bottle, or G bottles for 85 —less than a cent a dose.

They became very good friends. In fact, Tommy was 011 the point of in forming her half a dozen times that he had now saved $4.11 and would she please wait. But in the main he was miserable. As if to add to his unhappi ness he was summoned to the mana ger's sanctum one day and was inform ed that if he did not exercise more care with his duties he might leave. The position meant nothing to hiin. lie could secure another within the spnee of a day, but to be separated from Miss Miffetts, to leave her to the unprotected designs of Esterbrook! Decidedly he could not leave. The telephone service improved. Then came the eventful Sunday. Tommy never forgot that Sunday. The evening before Miss Miffetts came to his desk. "Won't you come over to see me tomorrow afternoon? Come prompt ly at 3, Tommy." "Thank you, miss." With a thrill he recognized that this was the first time she had called him Tommy. The following day he went. As he hung his cap in tlie hallway he noted a familiar coat that hung beside his worn habiliments. Esterbrook's! What was that fellow doing there anyway? And yet when he entered the room and Esterbrook extended his big broad palm Tommy took it and forgot his hatred. Miss Miffetts smiled nil the time except when Tommy took a big white chrysanthemum out of a bit of tissue paper and handed it to lier. Did everybody cry when you bought 'em flowers? Events crowded fast after that, and Tommy remembers but dimlj'. There was snow in it—heaps of snow piled high. Then there was a church—a quiet, awful place, with rows and rows of empty benches. There was also a minister, in a gown like a woman's. Tommy's hatred of Esterbrook return ed a hundredfold when Esterbrook kissed Miss Miffetts and called her Alice. lie remembers distinctly, very distinctly, that Miss Miffetts kissed him, tpo, and Esterbrook shook him by the hand. Then Miss Miffetts spoke: "Goodby, Tommy. I am not coming to the office any more. John will bo back next week. We are going away on a little trip. We shall be home next Sunday night. Come over to see us. You will, won't you. the very first night?" Heaps of snow and Tommy alone; the looming church and the muffled trundle of a cable car; a white chrys anthemum 011 the whiter snow, drop ped and forgotten. She had dropped it. Yes, after all, it was right she should drop it. God bless them both—even Esterbrook! But if she had only wait ed! The Hour. Tubbs—What hour is it? Dubbs—None at all. Tubbs—What do you mean?
