a restoration of at least a part if not. all of
the old scale.
Next week the operators and men will
meet in joint convention. This meeting
will bepretty sure to eflect a settlement
and one by which the men will profit. For
many years the miners had dreamed of
one great strike that Would cover the
whole soft coal field. For the first time
they now see their dreams realized.
The success of the strike has surpassed
their loudest hopes. The country lives
from hand to mouth as far as soft coal
goes. The supply is already exhausted,
and no more can be had until the miners
choose to dig it. They are masters of the
situation. and the operators realize it.
President McBride Confident.
COLUMBUS. 0., May 8.-President John

in response to a telegram from Cleve-
land. President McBride stated that 1,000
delegates and visitors might. be expected
to attend the joint convention there next
week.
The return of several hundred men to
work at Slaunton. in southern illinnis. is
not regarded as significant by President
McBride. iie believes that President A.
J. Crawford of the lillnois miners, wholins
had entire charge of the organization in
that state. will be able to bring them out
again and hold the state in line.
Maryland Joins the Strike.
BALTIMORE, May 8. ~Dlsputches from the
George creek coal region indicate that in
a few days the whole soft coal region of
Maryland will be drawn into the national
suspension movement. A thousand Mary.
land coal miners have quit work. and the
organizers are making rapid progress in
taking them out.

One night when Charles Oatsirne, the disc }
coverer of the Gladstone mine, and his friend
Petty. were out seeing the sights, a light-
flngored mun touched Osborne for two
twenty-dollar gold pieces. which he had in
one of his trousers pockets. This was a sur-
pfllo fli Osborne. and set him to thinking.
He had never had anything like that happen
before, and he was much nnnoyed.
in a dim way be reeoilected that he thought
some one had putahand in his pocketon
the night heiost the coins. (lemme, asis
customary among many mining mim, wears
substantial corduroy clothes, and those are
equipped with unusually strong markets. in ;
the right pockut of his trousers be skilfully ,
arranged half a doses big ilsbbmiks, each '
carefully fastened to its place, and in snob a 1
way that they would offer no resistance to a
hand while being inserted. but the band
would begraspod by the barlw while being .
withdrawn. Auv one of the hunk" would
hold a ten-Wind salmon. .
Thus equipped Osborne started infill. At .
the corner of California and lieurny streets a
lskir was blithesomely expatiatlng about. his ,
wares, and the mining man stopml to hear
what he had to any. Desirous of '«sliug his
intention, he jingled two or tin-on 321) planes
tirelessly in sight, and then droppw' itmupie
of them in sight of the yawning Maw below
the liohhooks. Then he leaned bet-k and be-
came absorboxi in the street-corner oratory.
In afow moments, sure enough, he felt a
hand going down his pocket. it moved
slowly and carefully, but every time the fakir
said anything to make the crowd laugh it
went down with more confidence. Pretty l
soon Mr. Osborne felt that he had a man at '
his elbow who was doing some deep think- .
lug. He knew this by the commotion thatl
had taken place in his pocket. He said noth-
ing,,but he knew something was going to}
happen. it did, when avoice said
"by, iiiisier! i‘ve got my hand in your‘
pocket!"
"What in ~ have you got your hand in ‘
my mallet for?" said Osborm-, "hi‘l‘ffillly. l
“Why don’t you take it out?" i
"i can‘t; We caught," said the man, look-
ing up and turning pale.
“Well. come right down here to a police»
man. He will help you take it out," replied
the mining men, and he moved off aahe
spoke. the thief being forced to irnt along by
the side of his uptcr. .
"Oh, i didn‘t get any money. For iioav- {
en’s sake let me go i" cried the thief. '
Osborne did not care anything about im-
prisonina the follow and punishing him
further. lie declared he would not have
minded it a bit if he had lost. the additional
gold pieces. All he wanted was to am if his
trap would wurk.-—‘Mno Chronicle. ‘
