Welsh' Miners Win. While tho decision of an English court can have no bearing on conditions and questions in our land, yet it is worthy of note, as revealing the drift of judicial opinion, that it has been decided to be Vithln the law of Great Britaiu for coal miners to order the stoppage of work whenoyer they please to do so. It seems that over in Wales tho union m ners have made a practice of carry ing out the plan recontly proposed for the anthracite region of ordering a sus pension of work at tho mines, for tho purposo of curtailing the oporators from laying in largo stocks of coal. The idea is to protect the miners from being handicapped, in the case of strike, by large stocks of coal on hand. It has been a practice In the past for Welsh minors and operators to agree on "stop" days, but the minors recently look the inattor into thoir own hands, and ordered a supension of work with out consulting the employers. The operators' association took offense at the action and brought suit against the Miners' Federation for $500,000 damages. Justice Bingham has just decidod tho case iu favor of the de fendants, on the ground that thoro was no malice in the action of the men, who declared in court that they believed a reduction of the output would be of benefit to both parties.• The justice's decision placos enormous power in the hands of the uniou and tho miners are, consequently, In good spirits. It would be woll for American miners to keep a close watch on tho practical effect of tho plan's operation on the welfaro of the Welsh miners, to the end that they may learn whethor or not it would be wiso for them to attempt to regulate tho producton of coal, as has been suggested. The ex periences of others along tho same lino ought to be valuable. Schuylkill Democratic Ticket. Tho returns from Saturday's Demo cratic primaries in Schuylkil county arc now noarly all In. This was the second primary election held under the new rules and tho vote polled was fully live times greater than that of last >yoar. The heavy vote polled was brought about by tho fact that thoro wore sixty live candidates In the field. James W. Ryan, of Pottsville, Is nomi nated for congress, defeating ex-Con gressman James B. Reilly, of Fottsvillo, and Thomas J. Iliggins, of Shenandoah. J. O. Ulrlch, a Tamaqua lawyer, se cured tho state senatorial nomination In the Thirtieth district. Democratic leaders worked hard to defeat Senator Higgles on account of his record at tho last legislature. James J. Moran, of Pottsville, Is nominated for district attorney, al though he was opposed by nearly the whole organization. Moran Is attorney for tho United Mine Workers and had the support of the labor union. J. H. Nichtor, of Pottsville, who was also backed by tho striking miners, Is nominated by an overwhelming majority for recorder. George Ople, of Donald son, and W. 11. Bresslor, of Yorkvlllo, aro nominated for commissioners. E. R. Roedor, of Wayne township, and Fred Portz, of Pottsville, are tho nomi nees for poor directors. >lHjor Ilnttrtck's Musket.

Klein of St. Louis has hod the horns of the many animals he has shot converted Into furniture for his house. Mulford IJolbrow, the blind peddler of Shiloh, N. J., sold over 1,000 shad during the season, giving change In ev ery case and without making a mis take. The late J. Sterling Morton, the fa ther of Arbor day, will have a monu ment erected to his memory by the Ar bor Day Memorial association of Ne braska City, Neb. Prince Nicholas W. Engnlltscheff has been formally notified by Count Cussinl, the Uussian embassador, of his appointment as imperial Russian vice consul at Chicago. Alfred Willcinshaw of Ilavant, Eng land, has been bald from blrtli. Now, at the age of ninety-two, a plentiful crop of dark red hair covers Ills head, all grown In less than three months. Mr. and Mrs. Calllgan of Piscataquis county, Me., have seven children, four boys and three girls. The boys are called Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and the girls are named Faith, Hope and Charity. Rear Admiral Melville 1 determined to have a burial place of which he can approve. He has accordingly erected at Arlington cemetery a tomb and epi tuph to himself, leaving only a blank for the date of his death. At one time Ellen Terry had three sisters and a brother on the stage— Kate, Marian, Florence and Fred. All attained distinction behind the foot lights. Kate and Marian have retired, and Florence died in 1800. Christopher Forbes of New York, who for many years hoisted the Hag on Evacuation day, Is dead. He was a lineal descendant of Van Arsdale, the soldier who pulled down the British Hag when the English left the city In the Revolution. ORCHARD AND GARDEN. The cleaner the culture the better the crop. Careful transplanting Insures supe rior growth. An occasional supply of weak ma nure water is often beneficial to house plants. Rosin and tallow In equal parts make an excellent covering for wounds on fruit and other trees. When fruit Is to be sent to market, It will bo best to make all arrangements possible In advance. Keep all dead and faulty limbs cut off the fruit and ornamental trees If for nothing else but the looks. The man who sends poor fruit to market Is always the one who com plains of the price. The market Is rare ly If ever overstocked with choice fruits. By gathering up and burning all the rubbish 111 the orchurd, the garden and the small fruit patch n large number of Injurious Insects may be destroyed. In pruning never cut out small twigs or spurs growing on largor limbs. These uro the spurs for fruit, and often the first crop of fruit Is destroyed by cutting away these fruit spurs. PLAYS AND PLAYERS. Walter Walker will play Nat C. Goodwin's part in "When We Wpre Twenty-one." Flora Zabelle has replaced Gertrude Quinlan as Annette in the New York production of "King Dodo." Edwin Arden and Katherine Grey will have the two leading roles In Ram sey Morris' "Ninety und Nine." When "The Eternal City" is present ed on the stage, it will be seen that it is quite different from the book story. Miriam Lawrence is to sing the role of Mrs. Hopping in support of Francis Wilson in "The Toreador" the coming season. "Sally In Our Alley" is the title an nounced for an extravaganza by George V. Hobart to be produced in New York about the middle of August. Mr. Stanislaus Stange, author of "Dolly Vardeu," is now putting on the finishing touches to a new American opera entitled "When Johnny Comes Marching Home." SOME MEASURES. A farthing was 3 cents.

GENUINE CASTORIA ALWAYS Bears the Signature of The Kind You Have Always Bought In Use For Over 30 Years. UNCOOKED FOOD. Human SlckncNtt Snll to Uc Largely Due to the Kitchen. The advocates of uncooked food say that, however well the cooking is done, It ought not to be done at all. They claim that the minute cells which go to make up the organization of the tex ture to be eaten should not be broken up by culinary processes, that they should go into the stomach as nature intended them—raw and ready for di- ! gestion. They notice that animals, which sel dom eat cooked food, are u hundred Umes less likely to be sick tliun men and women, that on invalid brute is a rarity, while more or less ailing human beings ure In every nelglil>orhood. One physician who has adopted this method of eating altogether and is ud vlsing and teaching others to do so claims to have leu mod a lesson from his horses. "While I was growing more and more sickly," he uvers, "and 'run ning down' rapidly my horses were sleek, fat and as healthy us ever. I at last made up my mind to eat the same kind of things that they did and have since been as healthy as they." There can be no doubt that a great deal of disease Is caused by eating the wrong thing and often too much even of the right thing. The products of nature's laboratory arc probably us nearly light as she can make them, but when "civilization" gets its hand in they run at leust a risk of being spoiled and unlit for the human stomuch, how ever pleasant to the palate. In the llrst place, they are often adul terated, even before they get to the cook. In order to preserve them or to make them more attractive in appear ance or pleasing to the taste and at any rate more profitable to the money till the dealer is tempted to "doctor" them with various products of the drug store and by other means of which the consumer has no idea. The advocates of this plan of eating claim that undue stimulus does not lurk In liquids alone and that cooking often makes food so stimulating to the human system as to produce a bad state of the nerves. They abjure the free use of salt, pepper and other sub stances used as "relishes," claiming that the same are little better than poi son. They designate ull sorts of men tal and physical ailments as having boon produced by cooked food.—"Un cooked Food Movement" in Will Curl ton's Magazine. How Slower* Arc The highest figure ever paid to a singer at Covent Garden was the sum of $48,000 paid to Mine. Adelina Pattl in 1870 for sixteen appearances, or $3,- 000 for each appearance. Mine. Pattl has, however, beaten this record In her American tours when she has ob tained, as he did at New Orleans in the eighties, us much as SO,OOO a night, j M. Jean de Heszke holds the record for mnle singers, his contract for six teen appearances being $30,000, while the famous Polish tenor never fails to stipulate for free hotel expenses and a certain sum for carriage and horses. The famous Lasnlle lias also drawn his $2,000 a performance, and during the golden jubilee of 1.887 he ap peared with the two I)e Iteszkes at one time on the stage, the aggregate of their nightly salaries amounting to over $5,000. Track I.n>lnw Mnclilne. A now machine for laying railroad tracks is being used in I'cuusylvauia. It has proved itself capAble? with n crew of forty men, of putting down two miles of track in a day. The track layer has a huge crane sixty feet long which projects forward over the road, and It hauls behind it a train of sixteen fiat ears loaded witli ties and rails. A continuous double Hue of the latter moves forward over rollers and carries the ties witli it. iioth rails and ties ore seized at the proper point by the machinery and placed 011 the road in front of the train, where they shortly form part of the track over which it passes. A Policeman Artist. One of tho curiosities of this year's London Itoyal academy exhibition is j a small landscape, a herd of sheep on a Yorkshire upland, which lmngs "011 the lino." To be "011 the line" is a much coveted distinction, as the hang ing committee always gives tho best pictures a position there. Tills land scape which, of course, was selected without any knowledge of the Identity of Its painter, is the work of Police Constable Jones, an ordinary member of tho Leeds constabulary. lie is en tirely self taught. Police Constable Jones has 110 idea of quitting tho po lico force. WlPfloNS SyNloni For AlnMku. Government stations on the main land of Alaska are to be connected by wireless telegraphy, uccordiug to a contract let by the board appointed by the chief signal officer of the army to the Marconi company. The station will be in operation by the middle of October, and ultimate communication with the state of Washington is ex pected, thus putting Alaska for the first time In direct communication with the rest of the world. I H'ET'KAbHIUNS. Dressing children in pure white Is more fashionable this year than it lias been for some seasons past. Not a few of the newest evening waists have soft transparent folds go ing around the figure with horizontal lines of lace insertion showing be tween. Crepe de chine and liberty satins and silks are much used this season in place of the more perishable chiffons and tulles for many of the tucked blouse vests and undersleeves. Old rose is a color that is very often forgotten in selecting gowns for either day or evening wear, but It often proves more becoming to women, ei ther fair or dark, than either pure pink, cherry red, blue, gray or green. Long half fitting cloaks of black, un filled taffeta, silk or peau de soie, faultless in outline and effect, are worn over gowns of white liberty satin foulard, white pique, veiling, mohair, eta mine, etc. The greater portion of these garments are open down the front. * > JHkakes short roads.
