Favorable to the Miners.
JUDGE THURMAN DECIDES A DISPUTE
OVER WAGES.
Ex-United States Senator Allen G.
Thurman, who was selected by tha
miners and operators’ arbitration board
of the Hocking Valley, to act as
umpire in the recent troubles among them,
has rendered bis decision in favor of the
minors. The price of mining in the Ohio
Central and Hocking Valley districts has lieen
in dispute between the operators and miners
since 1884. the From lieginning the dose of of the the strike strike on June 26,
until No-
vemtior Then 1, 1885, tho price paid was with fifty cente
a ton. sixty the miners quit work The a de-
mand for cents a ton. operators
declined to pay this price, and stated that
they were loss. unable to do so with-
out great The operators and miners
agreed to submit the matter to the arbitra-
tion of ten men, five to be selected by each
party, and, in the event of their failure to
agree, they were to select an eleventh man,
who was to act as umpire and decide the mat¬
ter. After careful consideration Mr. Thur¬
man says:
elaborate “My duty is simply is to decide. To make
argument no part of it. It is
sufficient for me to say that I have care¬
fully I read the evidence and believe that
understand and remember it. The question
is; Can the operators of the two districts pay
the advance asked ami compete with other
districts! Now considering the facts stated
in the testimony, the amount of coal an¬
nually mined and the length of time that the
trade has been carried on, it seems to me to
bo fairly inferable that the business must
have lieen, on the whole, a profitable one.
My decision, therefore, is that the operators
of the two districts can pay *tbe advance
asked, sixty cents a ton, and compete with
the other districts.”
how everything is expected to be peaceful
in the mining regions iu the future.
THE DEMAND OF DAKOTA,

A Senate Committer Reports In Favor of

The rejxirt of tho United States Senate

The conventions which framed theconstitu-
tions of Iowa, Michigan, Florida, Oregon,

were and held under acts of the Terri-

Senators and Representatives to the Congress

ordinance the right of admission was ujwn

a constitution was^framed withoot an enabling

convention was called which framed the con-

To deny the people the right to assemble in

Ripe field* ami sunny skies;
A glamour on tho distent hill* that stand
Like citadels of some enoh»nt~i )«nd
Which yet invites our eyes.
A wealth of daisies spread;
A weight of redolence upon tho nir,

Hero in tho sedges deep,
A little pool that, full of sweet content.
To ripple, wind swept, ’nontli tho branches

Lius tranquil and asleep.
High up among the boughs
The feathered choristers of morn, that strove
To fill the air with rcstacy and love,
Chirp feebly ns they drowse,
And nil things yield in silenco to the power
Of warmth and sunlight at the noontide hour.
Unfnthonied depths of blue,
And rifted dusky clouds chased by the breeze
Across a sea of azure, which ono sees
Tlie veiled sunlight through;
Which darken pond and hillock as they pass,
And cast their flying shadows on the grass.
A moment and ’tis dono;
liio meadow glows once more with heavenly
light,
A glimpse of gloom whose momentary flight
Shuts out the fadeless sun.
How ninny a seeming ill which casts n shade
Upon life's sunny plums would be allayed,
Could wo but think when that it hides the sky,

HOUSE-HUNTING.
BY’ ROBERT J. BURDETTE.
1 believe I always did admire my
cousin Celestine. She was pretty
when she was a school girl. She had
the softest brown hair, fine and sheeny
as corn silk, and the sweetest bine
eyes, J and such a confiding, trustful,
timid . with her. She . such
way was a
girl as any boy might fall in love with.
She married George Andover, a young
Presbyterian preacher. 1 saw nothing
of them for nearly J five years, when
they , J came to Crmhntslwlin, _ a ...
town down in _ Pennsylvania, ... where „ 1
ltved. It was called by a Welsh . .
because there were no Welsh i i
within a thousand miles of it so far
I _ was able ,, , to learn. , Still, it . had . , to .
called „ , something, , . and
was pronounced *, , as good . a name ns it . ,
served. It ,, was at ... least an
‘
on Jinkinvilie ..... and , Thompsontowm t
Snyderburg. _ J , , George and , Celestine .

distant, ,, or near, rather. George
to go " right ° away J and attend a presby-
tery or synod or something . . ”, or other
that , was going 6 b to burn a heretic or
something, , . ,’ and would ,, . I go to the , citv '
and , . help Celestine , hunt , a , house?
*
Wouldntl? ... ,. , „ I T would ,, go and , tint! , a
house , for . them myself, and Celestine
J
could ,, stay , at , , home and rest. T Rut , . she L
....... hesitated, in her timid .. ., way, and , 4 then .
said she . would ,, go ” with ... me. Ilow „ glad , ,
1 . was. She was prettier .. .. than ever,
and , seemed , , so grateful that I was
going to ... take care other. ... How ,, glad , ,
, 1 I . repeat . it. ., How ,, glad , , 1 .
was, was.
It didn’ttako me twenty minutes to
find the verv house , she , wanted; . , just
the one she described. Eleven rooms.
•
. hot . and , cold water
in every corner,
Philadelphia ... ., , , , . window . , shutters ... tour
■
inches , ,, thick, . , and , a parlor , so respecta- .
.. bly dark that the boldest cat would
, fall over the furniture and break its
head , . against . .. the piano limbs ... every
'
time it .. ventured , . in . there. Rut „ . Celes-
.. tine didn t like it, . because Mr. ,, Gonge,
the agent, wouldn’t paint, paper, put
in a new range, build on a hay win-
dow and add another story. I never
saw that timid, appealing, conliding
expression on Celestine’s face look
quite so sweet and appealing as it did
when she refused to take that house.
We rode about six miles on nine
different street car lines that morning,
and visited a dozen houses. I was
charmed with every house, but Celes¬
tine would look so appealingly at me
every time, when we consulted the
agent, and state her objections so
sweetly and timidly, and say: “Oh,
cousin, won’t you decide for me?”
And then we would start after another
one. We found a new house. Just
completed. Just scrubbed and oiled
and varnished from garret to cellar;
agent just putting the card in the
window when we got there. We went
all over it, and Celestine said she
would take it if he would have it re¬
painted and papered and a new heater
put in. The brute looked into that
pleading, timid, gentle race and re¬
fused.
Somewhere during the next mile
Celestine suddenly stopped.
“There,” she said, so decidedly I was
frightened. “I would take that house.”
She was looking at a handsome man¬
sion of stone, situated in a beautiful
yard and bursting into bloom and
blossom from every window.
“Yes,” I said a little uncertainly,
“but isn’t it a little larger than you
want?”
1 judged that it contained possibly
not more than twenty rooms.
“Ye-es,” she said, “but we could
close a portion of tlie house. Suppose
you run over and Hee what it rents
for."
1 didn’t believe it was to let.
“You can’t tell until you find out,"
said cousin Celestine, timidly,
“It looks like a very expensive
house," I said.
“Rut maybe the man is embarrassed
in business,” she said, “and would be
glad to find a good tenant. Don’t fail
me, please,” she added, and I said I
would go.
I did go. I rang the bell, and stated
my business. The liveried servant
shut the door in mv face without a
word, aud I returned. ,
"Well?” said my cousin Celestine.
I looked into the sweet blue eyes,
and calmly, without a blush, I said:
“The man said he owned the house,
and did not care to rent it this sea¬
son.” She sighed, and said in low,
tremulous tones that she believed she
could have got it if she had gone over.
That afternoon, while we were some¬
where on our ninth mile, Celestine
found another house that suited her
exactly, but the rent was $240 a
month, and she didn’t want to go be¬
yond $60. As we walked now, she
leaned heavily on my arm, and I tot¬
tered along on blistered feet, eagerly
scanning the horizon in every direction
for street cars, while Celestine could
see a “To let” card with the naked eye
farther than I could think. Her timid,
trustful way grew upon her, until she
looked a perfect miracle of submissive
diflidence, and when we went home
that night, in a low, sweet voice she
tore housfeJ> landlords and agents to

” :
, before , 1 died, there came a letter from
George. _ Celestine „ , read ... it and .... sighed.
"Well, she said, .. ’ “George ° is . coming . °

.... „ 1 . 8l “ d . reHolvln th "

North .. Pole on the first train, “you
, haven ,. t found . a house yet?’ ,
“Oh, yes, Celestine „ , ,, said, tones
in so
melting ... ° that I half started to * go out
and , resume the search, . “there is
a par- 1
sonage with ...... the church to which
George ,, has , , been called, ... and things
’ our °
are all there. The , ladies of „ the , church
got it all ready for us when we decid¬
ed to come. But, she said softly,
probably noticing the look of brutal
amazement tliat came creeping over
my face, “I thought perhaps they could
let the parsonage to some one else If
we found a bouse we liked better.”
“Then you don’t like tlie parson¬
age?” 1 managed to say.
“Oh, I don’t say that,” she said,
sweetly. “I haVe not seen it. They
didn’t want us to come until every¬
thing was all ready.”
I have not seen my cousin Celestine
since she went to the parsonage. They
came out to Crmhntslwlin several
times, but the man whom I have em¬
ployed to watch at the station is vigi
lant and faithful, and so has warned
me in time to effect my escape over
into the hills of Rrddnwr. Any per¬
son desiring to purchase an undivided
interest in a cousin, low-voiced, sweet-
tempered and fair-favored, gentle and
affectionate, a charming singer and an
infallible judge of improved city real
estate,- can secure a bargain by corres¬
ponding with me. I cannot give a
clear title, save as to cousinship, and
that I will quit-claim, purchaser to
assume all risks and encumbrances of
cousinship during the moving season.

Who’ll Buy!
My neighbor wears a ootton dress
She comes with marigold and cress
All dripping, coiled together.
Tho willow basket in her hand
Is bright with water and with sand,
This happy, happy weather!
“Who’ll buy? ” Who would not buy?
—They grow beside an April stream,
Beneath an April sky!
Again I met her, flushed and brown,
With braid and bonnet slipping down!
She looks upou me gaily.
She knows the grassy Jutland farm
Where berries ripen high and warm,
And redden deeper daily!
“Who’ll buy? ” Who would not bay?
—She tound them in the summer field*
Beneath a summer sky.
Today she enters at my gate;
She step* inside the sill to wait;
And so once more I find her.
Alack 1 the whirling leaves are brown—
And he who shook the chesnuts down
I* standing there behind her!
“Who’ll buy? ” Who would not buy?
—They found them in the autumn woods,
Beneath a frosty sky.

HUMOROUS.
lie stands at the head—'he phre¬
nologist.
An exchange asks, “Why do people
have poor teeth ?” Probably because
they can’t afford to buy good ones.
“How can that Mrs. Jones wear
such loud colors ? ” “Why, don’t you
know ? She’s as deaf as a post.”
One striking differ ;nce between an
old toper and an old cow is that two
horns last the old cow a life-time.
A country boy, who had read of sail¬
ors heaving up anchors, wanted to
know if it was seasickness that made
them do it.
There’s nothing like having a good
wife around—when a man has no
mind of his own, his w*fe is apt to
give him apiece of hers.
The bee, after all, only works three
hours a day. He is a great deal like
many other buzzers. There is a deal of
cell about his labor.
There were 21,000,000 buttons made
in this country last year. And when
a man is waiting for his wife, prepar¬
atory to her going out with him, he
imagines she’s secured at least 20,000,-
000 of them on her gloves.
At a lecture on "The Decline of
Literature” the eloquent orator shout¬
ed “Where are the Chaucers and
Shakespeares and Miltons and Spen¬
sers and Macaulays? Where are they,
I say ?” And a voice answered, sadly,
from the gallery, “All dead.”
“My love,” said a wife fondly, “am I
not to have that beautiful dress pat¬
tern I spoke of? ” “ He patient, my
dear,” he replied; “I will only say
there is a surprise in store for you.”
“In store forme!” she snapped; “that’s
where it will stay. A real surprise
would be something for me at home.”
The Windmill* of Holland.
The most conspicuous and familiar
object iu Holland is the windmill,
writes a Courier-Journal correspond¬
ent. Thousands of these structures
are scattered throughout tho entire
country, including towns, farm-houses
and hills. They are used for grist¬
mills, saw mills and for all manufact¬
uring purposes, but principally for the
purpose of pumping water from the
low lands into the canals that form
drains to the sea. Many of these mills
are of immense size, their arms or sails
measuring as much as sixty feet. They
present a solemn look by day and a
most weird look by night.
In my opinion one of these out-of-
the way windmills at the dead hour of
midnight offers the best field on this
earth for ghost hunting, if you can
not And ghosts here, then you need
look no farther, in the certain belief
that none are to be found anywhere
Tlie number and sight of these wind,
mills suggest the three impossibilities
with which I have met in my travels
—first, to be out of sight of a China¬
man in San Francisco; second, to be
out of sight of a windmill in Holland
and third, to be out of sight of a priest
in Rome. These may be set down as
the three impossibilities of travel in
these places.
Another peculiar and universal sight
In Holland is the fact that all the
houses and buildings are covered with
red pottery or corrugated tiling. Thus
the tops of all structures, from huts to
palaces, are bright red. This style of
roofing has now extended throughout
Belgium and most of Germany and
Switzerland, because it is more con¬
venient and cheaper than wood or
other metal. The great scarcity of
timber in these countries make wood
roofing an impossibility.
A Crowded Countenance.
Mother—Whom do you think baby
resembles?
Uncle—It has its father’s nose.
Mo'her—And mv mouth.
Uncle—Yes, fact; and I also notice
that with papa’s nose and mamma’s
mouth it leaves precious little room lor
