STRIKERS ADMIT DEFEAT. Mills Ars All Running and Dictating Terms of Employment. While the mill strike will be continued indefinitely, the prospects of its accom plishing results an- very dismal. The con clusion is being gradually forced even upon the most obstinate that the mill op erators have won; also that the conces sions that have gradually been won from year to year are lost. The hours of work will be lengthened from eight to ten for the nailers and packers.

LEBANON, Ky., Oct. 15.—Blind In one eye, ragged, hungry and distressed, d man of about fifty-five years hobbled into Raywick and applied for a lodging place. E. A. Edelen, a distiller, who llvea near Raywick. took him in. After giving the tramp a lunch he took him to a vacant room in a building a short distance from his residence, where a comfortable bed was provided. Under his arm the tramp carried a bundle, which to all appearances was nothing more than a greasy pillowslip filler! with .1 few necessaries. Just before re tiring the man threw his bundle on a chair. Bidding the tramp good* night Mr. Edelen extinguished the light, and, BUspecting his guest might be a ''pro fessional tramp," yielded to the impulse to investigate the contents of the bun dle. Carrying the greasy bag down stairs he made an examination, and to his surprise found that the tramp was B man who possibly owned thousands of dollars. Besides rolls of paper money and a pood-sized bag of gold, there were re ceipts for recorded deeds, bearing the signature of the clerk of Tyler county, Va.. showing that J. H. Shinn owned hundreds of acres in that section. There were, also, papers showing that the s:Miie party held many shares of stock in oil wells, clippings from newspapers commenting on the industries and wealth of J. H. Shinn, and a small day book in which was kept the record of each day's business. From this record it was shown that the man collected daily from 85 cents to $7. A diary in the pillow slip showed that he toured at stated periods Kentucky and Ten nessee and had been following the business for almost fifteen years. His home, it appeared, was Central Station. Doddridge county, Va. He told Mr. Edelen his name was J. H. Shinn and the papers in his pillow case con tyjned the name many times. The newspaper c': 'ngs referred to J. H. Phinn as an oil magnate who lost an eye In 1889. * Reading Will Pay Dividends. TMIILADELPHIA. Pa..

ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP A BRITISH MAGAZINE Military Ball at Pekin Has an Unexpected Element of Excitement. LONDON. Oct. 15.—A Pekin dispatch to the Times describes a mysterious attempt to blow up the magazine of the British legation Tuesday night during a military ball. Wires were laid,' but were not con nected with the battery. At the same time the breech blocks and sights of a 4.7 gun were stolen, but have since beei. discovered in the native city. The Times, after mentioning that such an outrage at the moment the officers were giving a ball might have had disas trous effects, points out the coincidence of this attempt with the British lega tion's recent refusal to attend the em press dowager's entertainment at the summer palace, and thinks the coinci dence suggestive. A Pekin dispatch dated Oct. 9. said Sir Ernest Satow, the British minister, and also the entire staff ■ of the British legation absented themselves from the empress dowagers first audience of the season which she gave that day. Their absence, it was understood, was due to the throne's attitude in the case of the arrested members of the staff of the Shanghai reform paper, Supao. for whom the Chinese government refused to provide a magistrate, thus compelling the prisoners to remain in jail, and also on account of the recent Hogging to death of the Chinese reformer.

There was a large number of delegates present, and, while the attendance from abroad was smaller than was expected, citizens and residents interested in library questions filled the library building. An uuusuai amount of enthusiasm is shown, and the convention' is a success. The public li brary had been prettily 'decorated for tht occasion and presented a very attractive appearance.

An address was made by Warren Up ham, librarian of the State Historical so ciety. St. Paul. He spoke on "The His tory and Liteiatuie of Minnesota^ in the LJbrary of the Minnesota Historical So ciety." Mr. L'pham said: "In its great work for the people of our state the Minnesota Historical aims to gather into its library whatever is pub lish. <| concerning our state history, and also all publications of Minnesota authors. The scope of this library is not restrict ed to Minnesota history, but comprises also verj fully the history of each oftht other states of the Union, Canada, Mex ico and all our American continent, North and South, and also, though with lest* fullness, all countries of Europe and of every part of the world. For the states man or student in Minnesota needs to know somewhat of the history of thb whole United States and of all foreign countries, seas and islands, around tht globe. Therefore, our historical society diligently gathers information from all the earth, as stored in historical, descrip tive, biographical statistical and scien title books, pamphlets, newspapers, atlases, and maps. "But a line is drawn in this library against certain classes of publications which foim a large part of our city and town libraries, as also of all colleges and university libraries, namely, novels, poetry, the drama, art. ethics and so forth, including the whole range of fiction and imagination, and literary essays and criticisms, excepting so far as these great fields of literature become subjects of history. "Further we must except whatever is produced and published by Minnesota writers in any department of literature, although otherwise, if many of these works wore produced by authors outside of this state they would not be desired. Thus novels and poetry, essays and ser mons, school text-books, and everything literary that Minnesota people publish are sought .and treasured on shelves assigned in this library for preservation of our state literature. Let all Minnesota authors re member accordingly to donate their works to the historical society, assured that they will be well catalogued and placed in cases where they will be seen together, as the contributions of Minnesota to the world's literary industries." BAPTIST ACADEMY. State Convention Gets Cheering Reports From Pillsbury. ANOKA, Minn., Oct. 15.—Today's ses sion of the Baptist state convention was opened by devotionals led by Rev. R. M. West. The report of the board of visi tors to Pillsbury academy showed that two days in April were spent attending the classes and examining the general equipment of the institution. One of the new features is the boys' dormitory, which is nearing completion. To the cur riculum have been added annual courses in Biblical literature and history The Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. are doing good work. As this Ls a Baptist acad emy it is interesting to know that 70 per cent of the students in 1902-1903 were Baptists. From the treasurer's report it was shown that $500 had been expended for aid of students; $250 for prizes and $250 for library and scientic instruments, a to tal of $1,000, received from the Margaret Pillsbury fund. During the year there was received from the executors of the es tate of George A. Pillsbury $246,000; pre miums of $650; from the estate of Mar garet Pillsbury, $20,000; a total of $'266, --650. Acting Principal W. A. Shedd made a glowing address on Pillsbury, showing its good facilities and its bright outlook. The academy is twenty-seven years old and has graduated 490 students. In a general discussion on the acad emy, the following spoke: E. S. Stucker, pastor of the Owatonna church; E. Fa genstrom, a graduate; Rev. R. M West St. Paul; Rev. J. F. Hill, Northfield; John Day Smith, Minneapolis, and A. T. Fow ler, of Minneapolis. The secretary and treasurer's report of the Minnesota Baptist Educational so ciety, made by Rev. G. H, Gamble, was received and a conference, led by Rev. H. B. Steelman, brought out several pleas for a better ministerial education. An address was made by Rev. G. E. Merrill on "The Power of Christian Edu cation." He said that Colgate university, of Hamilton, N. V., sent more men to the foreign missionary field than any Bap tist school. The soul is an enigma; God is the solution. God's hand is seen in mathematics and chemistry. The atheist shoutd not teach philosophy. President Angell, of the University of Michigan, and Cyrus Northrop, of the University of Minnesota, were pointed to as grand ex amples of the Christian educator. The xiible has its own place in education and should not be relegated to the Y. xv£. C. A. and Sunday school. Christian force is best in small universities. "The Coming Year, What Shall It Bring?" was the subject of an address by Rev. W. W. Dawley, D. D.. of Minneap olis. He presented it in three points— persons, purposes, purses. Rev. U. A. Williams, D. D., of Minne apolis, gave an address on "Home Mis sions." Rev. Dr. A. D. Frost, of the training school in connection with the First Bap tist church of Minneapolis, spoke on "A Model Day in the Church of God." Rev. C. H. Crawford presented the cause of the Antisaloon league. The report of tht state convention board was made by Rev. E- R. Pope, corresponding secretary, who said that four missionary workers had left the state during the year—Rev. C. G. Cressy, of Sauk Center, to Washington, Rev. E. E. Duley, of St. Paul, to Nebras ka; M. A. Summers, to West Virginia, and M. Hansen, to lowa.

CITY OF CELIBATES WILL BE FOUNDED No woman Will Be Allowed in Pros pective Utah Town. DENVER, Col., Oct. 15.—The "City of Celibates" is to be founded within v few miles of Provo, Utah, and the foundation will be laid within the next few days. That, at least, is the impres sion of attaches of the American house, who were on duty early this morning when a picturesque party of foreigners arrived and registered. These men, eight in number, are looked upon as the founders of the new city, which will allow no woman within its walls. About 2 o'clock this? morning a party of men, much resembling Italian brig ands as portrayed in- comic opera, en tered the American house. They had gold rings in their ears, wore shirts of a spectacular hue, corduroy suits and wide-brimmed hats. One man, who was civilized up to the chin—that is, clad in modern American fashion—ap peared to be in charge. He put the following names on the register, his own being first: John Bubalo, Peter Tovanovicb, Luke Tomaservioh, Vaso Yovaceric, Miter LukFiek and another that was illegible. Bubalo did not say from whence his party came, but it was gleaned from his conversation that all had Just come from Ellis island under his guidance. Buaalo was not inclined to be com municative, but he said enough to fos ter the impression that he headed a little colony' that was going to locate near Provo. The sturdy sons of sunny Italy with him would form the bone and sinew of the colony, and there would be no women allowed within its purlieus. One of the Yovonovich brothers, it seems, had been deceived by a woman hack in Italy and drawing a number of his friends and relatives about him decided to go to the new world and found a mlscrocosm where the foot of woman would never be al lowed. Nothing was said directly about naming a city of celibates, but from the conversation of the party that \yas the inference. FAMOUS HERMIT IS DRAGGED FROM HUT Aged Man Who Never Would Work Makes Hard Fight to Stay in Woods. SALISBURY, N. C, Oct. 15.—George Maxwell, the famous hermit of Meck lenburg county, North Carolina, has been taken by force from hia hut in the forest and carried to the poor house near Charlotte. He resisted the officers of the law, and, though seventy years of age, he was game and his strength surprised the strong men se lected to take him captive. But little is known of the man's his tory. His father was named Frank Maxwell. The son established in his early youth a record for refusal to work. His only brother was killed while in the Confederate service. Up to twenty-five years ago George lived with his sister at the old home place. She was taken to the poorhouse and died there. The place was sold and George went away, no one knows where, and stayed five years. He re turned to the neighborhood of his for mer home and without asking permis sion of the owner of the property, J. T. Lucas Maxwell settled down to the densest part of the forest. He built a log hut without any flooring. He associated with no man and went off his place, as far as is known, only twice, when he visited Charlotte to swap some skins of wild animals for clothing. He cleared an acre of ground, raising a few vegetables, and upon these and the herbs he gathered and the animals he trapped he managed to live. Capt. Lucas, soon after he found the man on his property, visited him to ascertain by what right he was there. Maxwell picked up his ax and made for the visitor. Lucas went away and was advised that If he would leave the old man alone no harm would be done. This advice was foliowtd. and Maxwell harmed no one. People passing his place gave him a wide | berth. Lately It was observed that his j health was falling and that he was hardly able to move about. Then it was determined to make him a prison er In the poorhouse. He refused at first to eat or drink, but now he par takes sparingly of food. The man cannot be Induced to talk about his life and is never at rest ex cept when alone. Messner to Be Archbishop.
