that the hopes of many years were about
to be realized seemed to impress the spec
tators as wcil as those vitally Interested
in the institution.
It was a great day and hour in the
history of the institution. Having pulled
together from the wreck brought on by
hard times, the minagement of the
academy during the past few years has
triumphed over all obstacles, started the
school on a firm footing, and more than
that has raised the necessary funds to
erect a new and commodious md suitable
building for the same. And it was in
commemoration of this that the exer
cises were held yesterday, a tribute
to the fidelity of the people and In re
spect to a lasting monument of Christian
education.
The students of the academy formed
in procession at the old building at 2:30
P. M. and marched to the new building.
.President Forbes and the faculty led
the procession followed by the graduat
ing class, then the school at large. A
temporary floor had been laid on the
foundation and on this the school formed
to Jisten to the exercises. President
Forbes called the assembly to order and
stated the purpose of the meeting.
Rev. R. W. King, pastor of the First
Baptist Church, delivered the invocation,
after which Mr. Lot Livermore, presi
dent of the board of the academy, placed
the corner-stone, measured it, leveled It
and then pronounced It true accordingly.
After appropriate words he told of the
responsibility which rested upon the
corner-stone, and the necessary reasons
why it should be laid true and plumb.
Hon. Thomas G. Hailey, Mayor of
Pendleton, then delivered an address on
behalf of the city.

BUFFALO, Oct, 7. The conference be
tween the committee appointed by the
National Association of Manufacturers
and President Mitchell and his lleuten
.'nts, held at the Iroquois Hotel 'this
evening, did not result In any definite
plan being agreed upon for the partial
resumption of work In the anthracite coal
fields, but the members of the manufac
turers' committee said they were greatly
pleased with the progress made. The fact
that communication was established with
the operators by long-distance telephone
and an appointment made to meet .a com
mittee representing them In Philadelphia
tomorrow Is looked upon as significant, as
It has been announced by members of the
manufacturers' committee that 'there ex
isted no understanding with the operat
ors prior to the meeting today, and that
no step in that direction would be taken
until the negotiations with President
Mitchell reached a stage where such a

president of the Manufacturers' Associa
tion, Indianapolis; George H. Barbour,

is as follows:
"The committee of the National Asso

was John Mitchell. The National Asso
ciation of Manufacturers' committee has
learned what it could of the conditions,
and now goes to Philadelphia for. the pur
pose of meeting a committee of mine op
erators, with the idea of getting their
side of the difficulty. The National As
sociation of Manufacturers' committee
carries no proposition from the mlnework

sire to bring about speedily a settlement
of this dispute.

CHICAGOANS CALL ON STONE.
Governor Urged to Take Prompt Ac
tion to End Strike.
HARRISBUEG. Pa., Oct. 7. A delega
tion of Chicago clergymen and business
men called upon Governor Stone at the
Executive Mansion todr-v. and, urged
him to take prompt action to settle the
coal strike. The delegation was composed
of Rabbi M. Emil G. Hirsch, chairman;
Rev. M. J. Dorney, M. Edward Fawcett,
H. Atwood Perclval, H. K. Kindred,
Leander Turney, Jenkin Lloyd Jones, Sid
ney Strong, R. A. White, S. R. Holden,
William D. B. Corwin, Lawrence F. Mc
Ginn. James McAndrcws, Dr. J. G. Gray,
M. G. Holdln and Dr. C. A. Young.
Mr. Hirsch said the situation in the
strike region was without parallel In the
history of the country and that the peo
ple of the West were in sympathy with
the movement to effect a settlement be
tween the operators and the miners. The
party had no suggestion to offer to end
the stTike, but simply called upon tho
Governor to take such action as In his
judgment would bring the trouble 'to an
end.
Father Dorney said the delegation came
as friends of the State of Pennsylvania,
to ask the executiveoto advise with them
as to the best means of ending the strike.
The priest explained that he resided in
the stockyards district of Chicago and
knows something of the suffering caused
by strikes. The coal . strike Is going to
cause untold misery among the poor of
Chicago and other parts of the country, he
said, if It is 'not soon settled.
At the conclusion of the priest's re
marks the visitors left the Capitol and
departed for Chicago.
TROOPS MAY MAKE NO CHANGE.
Operators Not Confident General Or
der Will Have Desired Effect.
WILKESBARRE, Oct, 7. There, is a
feeling among some of the officials of tho
coal 'companies that the mere move of
sending all the troops of the state Into
the coal region may not have the desired
effect of bringing about an early resump
tion of tho collieries. An official of one of
the largest coal companies In the terri
tory Is authority for the statement that
an early resumption depends altogether
upon where the military place the troops.
If Governor Stone's order that "all men
who desire to work, they and their fam
ilies shall have ample military protoc
tlon.V Is literally carried out by Major
General Miller, Instead of mobilizing the
troops at certain points, then the com
panies will be able to make good prog
ress in opening the mines. "If the troops
are kept in all communities where vio
lence and Intimidation are practiced," he
said, "there will be no trouble. The diffi
culty now Is that, a man goes to work
one day under the protection of the sol
diers, and the next day after the neigh
borhood kas quieted down the troops are
sent away, and tho willing workmen are
again at the mercy of the lawless ele
ment. Men will not risk going to work
today when they are not sure they will
have protection tomorrow or that their
families will be cared for in their ab
sence." Several hundred of the 3000 National
Guardsmen now in the field are strikers,
and they purpose to turn a portion of
their pay from the state over to the re
lief fund of their fellow workers.
Shoes and Blankets for Soldiers.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. The War De
partment today received an order from
Governor Stone, 6f Pennsylvania, for 1000
pairs of shoes and 2500 blankets to be de
livered Immediately. The blankets and
shoes are now available at Philadelphia
and Now York. The State of Pennsylva
nia has exhausted Its quota allowed by
Congress for military supplies, so that
Governor Stone, though . getting the
goods at cost price, will have to pay $2 per
pair for shoes, and 53 50 per pair for the
blankets.
TROOPS NOT MAKING HASTE.
Officers Will Give Them Time' to Ar
range Privnte Affairs.
HARRISBUEG, Oct. 7. General orders
placing the entire National Guard ot
Pennsylvania on duty in the strike region
wero issued today at division headquar
ters. The orders designate the location of
the three brigades, and all of the state
troops will bjf In the field by Thursday.
No effort Is being made to get the troops
on duty within any special limit, it be
ing the desire of the general officers to
allow the soldiers to arrange their pri
vate, matters before going into the field.
Colonel Richardson is directing the ship
ments of camp equlppage from the State
Arsenal. Major-3eneral Miller has ordered
Colonel Elliott, Assistant Adjutant-General
of the division, on duty at the Adjutant-General's
office In this city, to di
rect the movements of the National
Guard. The troops will be distributed by
regiments over the anthracite regions for
the purpose of protecting the nonunion
men who desire to work, and to suppress
tumults and riots if they should occur.
General Gbbln returned to Shenauacan
this morning.
Governor Stone declines to make any
statement giving his reasons for ordering
the troora on duty. He says tne ionnat
orders explain the situation fully.'

OPERATORS PROMISE RELIEF.
Dealers Say ?ew Yp'rk Will Have
Plenty of Soft Coal Next Week.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7. None of the . coal
operators present at the meeting of. the
Temple Iron Company today would make
any statement regarding what was done
Lt the meeting. After the meeting Presi
dent Truesdale, of the Laekawanna, an
nounced that no statement would be given
out. President Ollphant, of the Delaware
& Hudson, would only say- that he knew of
no change In the general situation. Presi
dent Bacr, of the Reading, went from the
conference to J. P. Morgan's office, and
later took a train for Philadelpha. Presi
dent Foster said 2000 tons of anthracite
of domestic sizes were shipped EaBt over
the New York, Ontario & Western Rail
road Monday.
A prominent wholesale and retail dealer,
'speaking of the present scarcity of soft
coal, Baid'tcday that.the presidents of the
coal roads have promised to relieve the
situation by rushing coal here. Next
week, he said, there will be sufficient soft
coal here to supply the needs and there
would be no necessity for any of the big
steam, plants to shut down for want of
coal. Domestic sizes of anthracite were
selling at ?iS a ton, Tetail, today. Soft
coal, while selling at $S 75 a ton, was sell
ing at J10 for family and $3 for steam
trade.
COAL PIRATES AT WORK.
Barge at Brooklyn Is Robbed of Ten
Tons of Coal.
NEW YORK. Oct, J. It Is stated' that "
less than four days' supply of, coal, re
mains for the running of the pumping sta
tion of the Brooklyn water works, and
unless more coal comes before Thursday
or Friday the pumping station may have
to close. The gas companies in Brooklyn
are all short of coal. Many Brooklyn
churches will close If the coal famine
continues.
A gang of coal pirates is at work in
the-narbor and in the future many. .cap
tains of tugs and barges will go armed
to light the robbers. One barce captain
reports that he was robbed of 10 tons
of soft coal while on the way from South
Amboy, N. J. The captain says he was
awakened by men wiia had boarded the
barge. They were armed with pistols and
he was powerless. They loaded four
skiffs and disappeared with their precious
cargo.
SOFT-COAL FAMINE IN SIGHT.
Railroads Have Plenty- of It, but Are
Short on Motive PoTver.
NEW YORK, Oct, 7. A soft-coal
famine, on the heels of the present
anthracite coal famine, according to
the coal dealers, is now impend
ing, and it is likely to strike this city
in a few days. While the sidings along
the railroads are choked up with thous
ands of cars loaded with soft coal, very
little of it Is reaching the city, and the
price of soft coal Is Increasing day by
day. The soft-coal operators, have ap
pealed to President Cassatt, of the Penn
sylvania Railroad, to try to bring the
coal to this city. Scarcity of motive
power Is given as vthe cause of the delay
in shipment.
Prospects are that if the coal strike
continues until Winter sets in, the gas
companies will have great difficulty in
turning out the normal supply. In Man
hattan Borough the gao company is
manufacturing about 60,000,000 feet of gas
a day and is able to so adjust Its planU
that either soft or hard coal can be used
to advantage. The Brooklyn Gas Com
pany is not so situated, however, and Is
buying all the anthracite available.
Chicago Acts for Consumers.
CHICAGO, Oct. 7. Action was taken
by the City Council last night in a at
tempt to meet the exigencies resulting
from the coal strike. A resolution was
passed without debate requesting "the
Mayor, City Controller, City Treasurer,
Commissioner cf Public Works and City
Clerks, constituting a committee to ascer
tain as soon as possible the lowest cost at
which Indiana or Illinois coal can be de
livered In Chicago in quantities of 500 and
1000-ton lots, to the end that coal may be
brought to this market and sold to con
sumers at Its actual cost for delivery."
KNOX AFTER THE COAL TRUST.

day that United States district Attorney
Burnett has been Instructed by the At
torney-General In Washington to inves
tigate the working of the cQnl trust In
his district,, that of the southern half of
New York State. General Burnett de
clined, however, to state the nature of
the Investigation to be made by him,, or
when It would be cpmmenced. Further
than to state that such an investigation
had been ordered, he would not talk.
Not Connected With Strike.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. It is stated
here that the investigation into the al
leged anthracite strike which District
Attorney Burnett will make has no sig
nificance as regards the present strike,
so far as the Administration Is concerned,
The matter was referred to the District
Attorney for the Southern District of
New York for investigation in the regu
lar course of practice of the Department.
Several days ago the Department of
Justice received a formal petition from
New York alleging the existence of an
anthroclte coal trust and requesting the
department to proceed against it under.
the Sherman anti-trust law. The usual
course of the department, it is said,
"where such petitions are formally pre
sented, accompanied by allegations as to
matters of fact, Is to refer the matter to
the District Attorney of the district
whence the complaint comes for investi
gation, and this course was pursued In
the present Instance.

ers in America.

of- the federation, referred to the length
of the American strike and said the
miners had seen for some time thit there
was bound to be a collision. The struggle

ilar to the fight experienced In this

or was due, had done his best to
remedy things in the mining world and
although the miners had linded In

TOO GREAT EXPENSE.
Not the Reason.
It is not because Pyramid Pile Cure la
so expensive that many people decline to
give it a trial, but because they find it
too great a tax on their credulity to be
lieve uiat the published letters bearing
testimony to the merit of this remedy aro
genuine and bona fide; especially to those
who have realized the suffering Incident
to piles is It Incredible that anyone who
has been afflicted 25 and SO years with the
worst forms, of protruding and bleeding
piles should be cured by the application
of a simple remedy, when their pKy&lclaa
has assured them that the only relief ia
in a surgical operation. This Is rightfully
viewed with dread by all those afflicted,
as It means at the least a great shock to
the nervous system, with more than a
possibility of utter collapse and death; ia
the majority of cases, too, .there to a re
turn of the complaint, owing to the fact
that the cause is not removed.
The proprietors of Pyramid Pile Cure
agree to forfeit $1000 to anyone who will
show a single published testimonial to
be not genuine and unsolicited; this latter
feature Is most gratifying, inasmuch as
these letters are . written solely out of
gratitude, and with the hope that those
who are afflicted as the writers have been,
may learn that relief is at hand, at
comparatively trifling cipense. Pyramid
Pile Cure is for sale by druggists at 50
cents a package, or will be mailed by the
makers to any address upon receipt of
price.
Mr. William LIchtenwalter. head of the
largest, printing house in Canton, Ohio,
says: "It I3 with the utmost pleasure
and satisfaction that I can say I believe
I am cured of protruding and bleeding
piles, after suffering more than 25 years.
I have been in bed for two weeks at a
time. I have not suffered in the least for
over a year, and I used only three 50-cent
boxes of Pyramid Pile Cure. I advise
every person suffering with this distress
ing and. painful complaint to give this
remedy a trial. I have ev.ery confidence
in It." Write the Pyramid Drug Co.. Mar
shall, Mich., for their book on the causes
and cure of piles. '
Insomnia
Nerve-racked, weary and
heavy-eyed, the head that
seeks repose finds only
ceasless tossing and fever
ish unrest. Strange fancies
vague forbodings fill
the mind with harrowing
thoughts until morning
brings its rasping headache,
irritable temper, and loss of
appetite. Rest the nerves
build them up and
gentle, restful, refreshing
sleep will be yours.
"My crcatest trouble was sleepless
ness. I was nervous and restless, and
would toss and roll for hours. Hsd
no ambition and had to abandon
business. One bottle of Dr. Miles'
Nervine put me on my feet again."
