ROUND THE REGION.
General Uebia, commanding the state
trooopt in the anthracite region, ap
peared as a complainant in Schuylkill
couDty coart on Monday. General
Gobiu charges Augustus Ilartwig, a
saloonkeeper, of Tamaqua, with keeping
a disorderly house. At the motion of
Dlstrlol Attorney McLoughlin, the court
granted a rule on Ilartwig to show
cause why bis license should not be
revoked.
Miss Alice Colvin was riding on an
electric car in Wilkesbarre when a
spark from one of the wheels set fire to
her clothing. She screamed and the
car was brought to a standstill. As
quickly as possible the woman, who was
now in flames, was removed to the
Hotel Hart, and the proprietor's wife,
Mrs. James Poland, smothered the
flames before Miss Colvin was badly
burned.
John Harvilla, aged 34 years, employ
ed as coal hauler at Beaver Meadow
colliery of Coxo Bros. <fc Co., was shot
in the right eye yesterday morning while
attempting to drive away unknown
parties who had bombarded his houses
with stones. The shooting was done
with u shotgun, as small grains of shot
were found In the socket of the eye.
Margaret Mann, aged 18 years, was
burned to death Monday evening at the
home of her parents, in Scranton, while
tryiug to light tho kitchen stove with
kerosene. IJer parents were sitting on
the porch when they sent her in to get
supper. They were attracted by her
screams and found her clothing all in
flames.
THE WfWSTLE WAS SILENT.
Why Set of Teeth Didn't
flrtp tl*e Blower,
A small town In Posen, near the Sile
slari still keeps that relic of
other cenftiries, the night watchman
who 'CajjA the hours. One night—the
Lopdop Yefegraph tells this remarka
ble story—pue of these watchman, an
old worth.v long in service, failed to
blow his whistle when tho clock struck
the hour.
TTiii trorgoamster summoned the de-
account for his negligence.
After some hesitation he declared that
his tooth had dropped out and
that not hold in his mouth the
otiictpl fiat tin whistle.
A council was called, and tho subject
was fMivtiy discussed. Finally one
of the tpcofberH said that he had heard
of a dentist at Broslau who supplied
urtificftrt tepfh. After long debate the
council" appropriated money to send
the nged watchman to Breslau to get a
set or*ww tbeth.
In' dph ttige the watchman reported
that ftlk tyetfTlind arrived. That night
the Imrpwna/>icr sat up to hear the re
slift *j> hli astonishment there was
no irirUrtd* 10, at 11 or at midnight.
The Inflgniug he summoned the
watofcQQ&V
~Vth yp£ got your teeth," ho said.
"Why do you not whistle
as bcrfojfS'Ytf
"Yus.jl've got a new set of teeth," re
plied the, oilman, "but the doctor told
me tp'pirt -ftlpm In water at night."
An 011 tVclNh Custom.
The kjjdlfcig of bonfires ou hills is
tho winrplf>!<t' of celebrations at any
time. TJw Druids made four great
tires' at tfijjr festivals in February,
May, August and November. Wales
seems to' ijove been a country espe
cially 'tcjisVfOiiH of tills custom. Each
family used to make its own tire, and
as It was dying out each member
would llirww a white stone into it, the
stones ijpigg. marked for future iden
tification Ylien all said their pray
ers and weflt to bed, and In the morn
ing they trtbd to find all the stones
again. If any stone was missing, it
betdLeqw) thiat the owner of it would
die wtthin a year.
Soifio superstitions are pretty and
picturesque and attractive; this was
one of rhq iDnny which were cruel as
well. ns'picturesque. It would take but
a slight accident to cause a fright that
might \bp actually dangerous to a su
perstitious person, and it would not
be Jjard for an enemy of such n per
son to cause that fright by stealing
Lis stone from t lie lire.
ANOTHER CONFERENCE.
Will It Follow the Celebrated Peace
Convention Into Oblivion f
This is an age of conventions. The
number of "national" gatherings of all
sorts, both annual and occasional, is
amazingly large. In order to keep In
the swim it is necessary for an asso
ciation to convene conspicuously at
stated intervals. Every new movement
must be advertised by a congress if it
would attract public attention. It may
be questioned whether the enormous
amount of effort that Is put forth in
organizing these elaborate talking bees
could not be expended more profitably
In other ways. The results accom
plished by conventions seem on the
whole to be disproportionate to the
outlay of time and energy. Possibly,
however, tlie indirect and Intangible
educational Influences that are sup
posed to radiate from these assem
blages may be sufficiently valuable to
justify their existence. If they accom
plish no great good, at least they do
no particular harm.
These remarks were suggested by
the prospectus of a national conven
tion of employer and employee which
Is to be held in Minneapolis Sept. 22-
20 "under the auspices of the Eight
Hour league and the citizens of Min
neapolis." The purpose is to bring to
gether representative employers, the
ablest spokesmen of organized labor
and distinguished investigators of in
dustrial problems for free exchange of
ideas. "The promoters of tills move
ment," it is stated, "have no cure all
to advocate, no propaganda to spread.
Their one aim is to afford an opportu
nity for the two opposing sides In the
present labor disputes to get together
on neutral ground and calmly talk over
the situation." Among the speakers
will be President Cyrus Northrop of
the University of Minnesota, Professor
Richard T. Ely of the University of
Wisconsin, Professor John 11. Clark of
Columbia university, Hon. Carroll D.
Wright, United States commissioner of
labor, and Archbishop Ireland. Many
prominent employers and labor leaders
will also hike part In the proceedings.
It is expected that President Roose
velt will be present on one of the live
days.
Undoubtedly the addresses and de
bates at this conference will be well
worth hearing and reading. But we
do not look for the "great" results pre
dicted by Its promoters. The citizens
of Minneapolis are attempting to do
what the National Civic federation
recently undertook to accomplish, and
there is no reason for expecting a lar
ger measure of success in the one case
than the other. The much advertised
Industrial tribunal established by the
conference of the Civic federation has
already fallen upon desuetude if not
oblivion. We fear that the Minneapo
lis convention will be equally unpro
ductive of lasting results. Boston

Strike* of Lonpr Atfo.
The following record of early strikes
makes Interesting reading: 1405—Strike
among the tailors and turban makers
of Constantinople. The sultan was ap
pealed to, and twenty-six of the strik
ers were hanged, the rest drafted into
the army. 1583—Workmen employed
to pull down one of the suppressed
monasteries in England revolted for
better pay. Several were put to death
and the others were imprisoned. 1503
—Masons employed on the Escurlal
palace, Spain, refused to work unless
better paid. Several were put to the
galleys, and the rest were exiled to
America. 1G25 Strike among the tea
pickers of the central Chinese province
for higher pay. They were hanged by
meu in charge of the trust. 1705—The
shipbuilders and sailmakers employed
by Peter the Great at St Petersburg
struck for shorter hours. Seven were
bunged, 127 sent to Siberia, and 032
were drafted in the army.
When Mont Everybody Will Work.
Leroy Beaulieu, an eminent French
economist, has just delivered a lecture
upon the conversion of the French 8V&
per cent debt into 3 per cent bonds.
lie showed that the rate of interest
is constantly decreasing and predicted
that In the next twenty-five years cap
ital will be glad to get 2 per cent and
that fifty years hence such first class
securities as government bonds am}
railway securities will bear 1 per cent
interest, "which," said the lecturer,
"will compel all except the very lar
gest capitalists to work for a living,
and the leisure of the class of people
now culled well off will be abolished."
Labor In Politic*.
The executive board of the Chicago
Federation f Labor is about to issue
an appeal to all labor men to register
for the full election. A mass meeting
of trades unionists and their sympa
thizers will be held'the second Sunday
in September, at which they hope to
form a political club, thoroughly non
partisan, with branches in every ward
and voting precinct in the city, whose
duty it will be to work for the success
of any and ail labor men on the tickets
of the Democratic or Republican party
at the fall election.
ItutliM For Workmen.
State Factory Inspector McAbce of
Indiana has sent a circular letter to
tho larger manufacturing concerns In
the state recommending that they pro
vide bathing facilities for the employ
ees. He cites the beneficial results
from such a course at Michigan City
and says a bath after a day's work
will do much to remove the desire for
stimulants.
McNNenKt'r Iloy* Won.
The strike of the Illinois District Tel
egraph company's messenger boys in
Chicago lasted three days and resulted
In a victory for the strikers. The com
pany agreed to give the boys an in
crease in wages and extra pay for
overtime.

THE COLLECTOR WHO KNEW
An IlliiMtrntlon of the Daiiffcr of De
inn Too Self Confident.
"The trouble with you follows Is
you want things, but you know noth
ing about 'em. Y'ou come over here
and carry home a lot of truck that a
European collector wouldn't give
house room, and when you see u really
good thing you don't know It, or you
won't pay a price for It unless some
dealer makes you. You sec, you don't
know; that's what's the matter; how
can you? Nobody In America wanted
antiques before the Centennial. If
you'd lived here twenty years, like me,
you'd learn something, you'd find out
that collecting Isn't a thing of money,
but knowing."
We had been walking In Venice
down a narrow calle while the collect
or was speaking. "Look at that old
brass scale," he resumed, pointing to a
fish stall in the little outdoor market
on which we had just emerged.
"There's a gem, not very old, but of
the linest seventeenth century Venetian
work. If you saw that in a New York
dealer's, nil cleaned up, you'd give up
a good deal for it; hut you'd 'a' passed
It by a dozen times if I hadn't spoken
about It. See that old junk stand over
there? I never pass a thing like that,
Y'ou can never tell what you may pick
up—if you only know."
We had scarcely reached the stand
when the collector thrust out his hand
with the swiftness of a hawk darting
on Its prey, and swooped upon a little
Jewel box.
"Carnelian! Russian, I should say,
from the Ural mountains. It's not of
great value, but it's a pretty little
thing, if it was cleaned up. It's mine,
anyway." To the keeper of the stall:
"Quanto?"
The Venetian slowly uncoiled him
self and came down from the church
steps, where he had been sleeping.
"Does the signore want the pretty
trifle? The signore knows Its value
better than I, and he'll be generous?"
"I'll give you a lira for It. It isn't
worth it, but one mustn't be bard with
the poor."
"I had hoped I should get five!"
"Well, I'll make it two."
"It Is the slgnore's."
"There, you see!" exultingly chuckled
the collector. "That's what It is to
know. An exquisite carnelian Russian
jewel casket for 40 cents! You'd never
have thought of looking among a lot
of rusty old iron for a thing like that,
would you?"
Wlille speaking he held the box with
a miser's clutch.
"May I see it, please?"
lie reluctantly handed it to me as
though fearing I might make a sud
den dash down the calle with his treas
ure.
"Phew!" said I contemptuously,
handing the box back to him. "It's not
carnelian at all. It's glass, nothing but
glass."
"Glass!" drawing a magnifier from
his waistcoat pocket and mutely ex
amining the purchase. "I'm—l'm—
afraid—it is!" he said sheepishly.
"Of course it is."
"I—don't know," sadly. "Yes, It is
glass! You see, it's so dirty. Oh, well,
we nil make mistakes at times. Do
you want it?" disgust taking the place
of sadness. "You can have It for a
qua rter."
"Well, I guess it's worth a quarter."
I think my eyes must have snapped.
"Yes."
And that is how nil almost unique
example of the cinque cento came Into
my collection of Venetian glass.—New
York l'ost.
Honesty In Perfection.
To find honesty In its full pe fection
it is said that one must go to tiie
Welsh colliers of the Ogmore valley,
who travel by a workmen's train which
runs from Maesteg to Aberg.vyufi ev-
ery morning ami returns lii the even
ing. Tliore are heavy penalties for
taking pipes and matches down the
pit, so when the train reaches its des
tination in the morning every smoker
lays his pipe on the seat, and when lie
returns in the evening it is exactly
where he left It. During the day the
coaches are shunted to a siding, the
doors are not locked, but there is no
single instance of a pipe having been
stolen.—London Answers.

NATURAL HISTORY.
A whale can remain under water for
an hour and a half.
A lion in n .iuugle will jump twenty
live or thirty feet from a standing
start.
A horsefly will live for hours after
its head has been pulled off. The bead
of the mosquito hawk will continue
eating Its victim when separated from
the thorax.
Mud wasps manifest great ingenuity
not only in building their nests, but in
placing them In localities where tliey
will not he injured by rain or preda
cious animals.
The gray buzzard is said to be tbe
heaviest bird that flies, the young
males when food is plentiful weigh
ing nearly forty pounds. The bird is
nearly extinct.
The wasp, like the bee and almost
every other insect, is Infested with
pnrasiteß. Wasps have been captured
which had two or three dozen parasites
clinging to their bodies.
The alligator never leaves fresh wa
ter, while the crocodile often goes to
sea mid In the West Indies has some
times been found many miles from
land, heading directly for an island,
possibly out of sight.
