This indicates that in spite of the offer of an advance in wages of 10 per cent, the company is working live less mines than on Saturday. Seranton, I»a., Oct. 1.—At every col liery in the anthracite region a notice will be posted tomorrow morning an nouncing a 10 per cent, increase in wages based on the present scale, ef fective Oct. 1, and that the operators will arbitrate any grievances their em ployes may present. There is no con dition to be attached as to the men re turning to work before the arbitration shall begin, so it is to be inferred that the men are privileged to meet in con vention and adopt any plan of action they may deem advisable before enter ing upon arbitration.

The regular Reading company ad vance for the last half of September and the first half of October had pre viously been fixed at fl per cent, above the $2.50 basis. The scale for the pre ceding thirty days was at the $2.50 basis. The advance of 10 per cent, offered in the posted notice by the Reading company is separate and dis tinct from the natural scale increase and hence the total increase to the miners would be 10 per cent.

Dis cussing the question of a compromise, the natlonl president said it ould de pend upon circumstances whether a compromise would be considered. When asked If the amount of the increase would be one of the circumstances, he said it would be a consideration. Seranton, Pa., Oct. 1.—The offer of the lteadiug of an increase in wages of the miners was practically discounted before It was made known by the fol lowing which was issued Saturday night from the headquarters of district No. 1, of the United Mine Workers: "To the General Public: We, the ex ecutive board of district No. 1, United Mine Workers of America, having seen reports in the public press that the coal combine had decided to give an ad vance of 10 per cent. In wagos and on nil work, and wishes to settle the strike on that basis, desire to warn all mine workers against returning to work under any condition which may be offered unless such action be decided in a convention of representatives of all anthracite miners. Our opiulon In case such an advance be offered is that it will not be sufficient to end the strike, as the advance cannot be com puted on all work in the district be cause there Is not a fixed price on each kind of work, the price being fixed by the mine foreman after the work has been done. "We demand a fixed price on all kinds of work upon which an advance may be figured, otherwise the miner would lose the advance on about one eighth of his work. We also feel that we cannot consistently be asked to withdraw our demands for the fulfill ment of thelawof Pennsylvania that we be paid semi-monthly and have the right to buy our powder where we wish or have the price reduced to $1 per kesr, which will give the company 5 Oor G3 per cent, per week on their investment. "We also ask that, the law be com plied with in that all coal be weighed at the legal rate of 2,240 pounds to the ton,and that we be represented in each breaker by a check' welghman to see that we get correct weight and that the dockage for refuse be just. In fact, the diversity of conditions which we cover in our scales and the Intripacjes of the various questions nt issue inakes It an impossibility to settle the vexed questions except by a Joint conference of miners and operators or by a board of arbitration, who shall receive facts and evidence from the miners and ope rators and decide on the merits of each grievance."

He was an honorary pall bearer at General McClernand's 11 ne!:.l last Saturday and was on the street viewing the Illuminations at a late hour Monday" night, apparently well, lie was about S3 yesirs of age. General rainier began complaining early Monday of a pain iu Ills chest, JOHN II. PAT.ME1L but It gave him no great uneasiness. He came down town twice during the day and returned at the usual hour Monday night. He rested uneasily aud at about 3 Tuesday morning Mrs. Palmer called a physician. He did not think the patient's condition alarm ing. The general awoke about 7 Tues day morning, still coinplainiug. He talked to his wife for a short time, then dozed off as if going to sleep and was dead. The end came very peace ably and evidently without much pain. Long before lie sat In the constitu tional convention of 1847 John M. Palmer was a judge on the bench. From 1852 to 1830 he was state sena tor. He was a delegate to the Repub lican convention of 1800 and was a Re publican elector In the same year. He was a member of the peace confer ence in Washington in 1861. Then he went to the war. As colonel of the Fourteenth Illinois Infantry he did good service and was rapidly promoted. For conspicuous gallantry at the bat tle of Stone river ho was made major general In 1802. In 1808 he was elected governor of Illinois, but after his term of service expired he was less fortunate in poli tics. He had become a Democrat and was three times defeated when before the legislature as candidate for sena tor. In 1888 he was defeated as Democrat for governor, but the next time he appeared on the political field he won, and was sent to Washington as an Illinois senator.

Depew In Success, "was the lecture of Artemus Ward, then quite unknown, on Mor mons, delivered nt Albany. The audi ence was fashionable, conservative and proper to a degree.

John Sherman on Himself. A politician who was very near to Senator John Sherman In the campaign of 1802 says he will never forget the effect that the first kodak picture of himself had upon the senator. Mr. Sherman had been speaking the night before in the Academy of Music, Phll adelplila, aud the newspaper artists had taken some lifelike snap shots of him In many attitudes. To the poli tician the senator said, upon looking over the newspapers the following day: "Well, well, our time for criticising the newspaper men Is over. They have us to rights uow.

Btorlea That Aathora Dcgln and Flai It Impossible to Finish. The Inability of an author to finish a piece of work that he has engaged to do aud has already actually begun Is not so very uncommon a thing. It Is said that Dickens begau "The Mysteity of Edwin Drood" without nny clear conception In his mind of how the story was going to turn out and that had h& uot died, leaving it unfinished, ho would have found almost any ending difficult to reconcile with certain hints contained In the earlier chapters. We remember a rather curious instance of the same sort as having happened a good many years ago, wheu the elder Bonner was editing the New York Ledger. A very impecunious literary man sent to Bonner the llrst chapters of a most exciting story which guve promise of being Just the sort of thing which readers of The Ledger used to like. The story was accepted and ran on un interruptedly and very successfully for about four weeks, when all of a sudden the author's Invention gave out. For the life of him he could not go on with the tale, and he had to go to Mr. Bon ner and say so frankly. The next number of The Ledger ap peared without the expected install ment of the story, but with a brief note to the effect that, owing to the sudden Illness of Its author, its further publication was temporarily suspend ed. This was to give that embarrass ed person a chance to recover his in spiration. Mr. Bonner asked him to dinner, took him driving and In vari ous ways tried to brace him up for further work, but It was of no use. He simply could not go on, and so the rest of the story never saw the light. New York Commercial Advertiser. or HE GOT THE INTERVIEW. A Story of Amos Cummlnirs and Sec retary of State Seward. It was while Amos Cummings was the Washington correspondent of the New York Sun that he had a memora ble interview with Llucolu's secretary of state, Seward. Cummings received orders one day to get certain Informa tion from Secretary Seward without fail, and accordingly he went to the secretary's office to see him. Mr. Seward did not receive the newspaper man very cordially. "I won't tnlk to a representative of The Sun on thut subject," said the sec retary. "I am very busy. You aro taking up my time, young man, and I can't be bothered with you." In an Instant Cummings wns boiling with anger and hurt pride. He drew himself up, looked the secretary straight in the eyes nnd snld: "You forget, sir, that there are three parties to this Interview." "Three?" queried Seward In surprise. "How do you mnko that out?" "First, sir, there Is you, secretary of state and one of the foremost figures In the world of men of the day second, there is the correspondent of the New York Sun, who has come to you on a perfectly proper errand In the service of his newspaper, and, third, sir, there Is on American citizen who considers himself the equal of any man on earth and who will not be insulted by you or any man alive!" The great Seward looked at Cum mings and smiled. "Sit down," he said, "and tell mo exactly what you want, young man." The Sun not only got tbe news it wanted, but also one of tbe best inter views with Seward ever published.— Saturday Evening Post.

And the man wrote back, with ft snarl: "Do you want to fight with the Smith family?" And no Beeeher could stand that. Thomas K. laughed and hastened to make terms.—Los Angeles Times.

And he requested his agent to hand to the knowledge seeker the requisite for the entertainment On reaching the lecture room he cast glance over the audience to see his col ored friend, but be had not arrived, nor did he put In an appearance.

That the earnest handlingof religious themeB and the portrayal of religious characters before the footlights is not in doubtful taste is thoroughly proven the success which has greeted Chae. W. Chase's dramatization of Henrys Slenkewlcz's famous novel, "Quo Vadle'.' ., It is everywhere described as a wonder (ful production, reverently played, llnely staged and beautifully costumed, filled with interest and so relastic that once seen it can never be forgotten. The prayer scene by tbe Apostle l'eter in the third act is so beautiful in its simplicity that nothing can exceed the intense de votional stillness with which it is re ceived by the audience. It is a play In which those in front live the scenes with tbe actors and evtrythirg else is forgotten in the keen interest felt.
