NEW HEAD OF CHICAGO
JOSEPH nEN'RY GEORGE, D. D.
Dr. Joseph Henry George, who was recently Installed as president of Chicago
Theological Seminary, was born at Cobursr. Ontario, May 3, 1852. He received
his collegiate education at Victories University from which he was Graduated in
18S0. He afterwards went to Boston University, where, he obtained the degree of
doctor of philosophy.
His first pastorate was at Belleville, Ontario, In a Presbyterian church. In 1S01
he was called to the First Congregational Church at St. Louis, where he served
with great success for six years. . ,. (,
In 1S97 he accepted the prlncipalshlp of the Congregational College at. Montreal,

ployer and employe than yesterday. The
excitement over tho commencement of,
work yesterday wore off somewhat and
there was more work and less talk.
The nonunion men, despite what may
bs said to the contrary, arc slowly being
displaced in many of the mines and tho
old employes are taking their places.
The Lackawanna Company continues to
lead In production. Thtre are two reasons
for this. First the mines arc In good
condition, apd there Is less friction be
tween the district superintendents and the
men who have returned to work. The
work of clearing up those mines that aro
filled with debris from falls is being
pushed forward as rapidly as possible,
and the fact that they are not in readi
ness to open Is a great disappointment
to the mlneowners.

Ex-Representative M. B. Williams, one
of the largest Individual operators In the
Wyoming region, said his mines would
not be In readiness to resume before next
week, but he would ta"ke back all his old
employes, Including steam men. because
they had served him faithfully in the
past The trouble with 'the Individual
operators in the Lehigh region is expected
to blow over In a day or two, and it Is
said here on good authority tonight that
all the collieries in the Lehigh and Schuyl
kill regions that aro In condition to mine
will resume next Monday, and that all the
union miners will be re-employed. ThG
mine inspectors are vigilant, and they
have refused to give permits to the start
ing up of mines where the superintendent
cannot furnish satisfactory proof that the
underground workings are perfectly safe
Mitchell Continues Reticent.
President Mitchell continues reticent
and refuses to be quoted on any move
ment made by tho operators either re
garding the treatment of old employes' or
the advanced price of coal. The evidenca
which he will present to the arbitration
commission Is now being arranged In sys
tematic form. When Mr. Mitchell was
asked today regarding the published re-
nort that there was some doubt whether

he said that he presumed the miners could
select any counsel they saw fit to present
their case before the commission. Presi
dent Mitchell pledged himself before the
miners' convention held In this city the
beginning of the week to present the case
of the union miners before the arbitration
board. Mr. Mitchell has received a call
to Washington and will leave here Sunday
afterncon.
Stanley Mecalley, a Lithuanian miner,
was enticed into a house occupiod by one
of his countrymen In this city last n;ght,
and after being stripped of his clothing
was beaten most unmercifully over his
body with a heavy rubber hose. He made
his escape from tho house more dead than
alive. Ho was nocused of having

In-
crease Working Force.
SCRANTON. Fa., Oct. 4. All of
the
mining companies in this region reported
today that large additions were made to
their working forces. The imported work
lngman was a decidedly minus quantity
today. Superintendent Rose, of the Dela
ware & Hudson Company, which operates
30 plants, said he did not know of a sin
gle "Import" still In the company's em
ploy. Other superintendents said very
few remained. The few "Imports" still
remaining are those who have been
hoarding in Scranton, and who have been
taken to and from work In trains. After
tomorrow, they will be put to the well
nigh Impossible task of securing boarding
houses in the mining towns In which
they worked, as tho coal companies will
cut oft the work trains Monday. This. It
is believed, will bo as effective In driving
away these men as was the doing away
with the commissary department In forc
ing out others who were being cared for
within the collieries' stockade. The com
panies are not dismissing any nonunion
men, but the most careful Inquiry falls
to disclose a single Instance of strenuous
effort on the part of any company to
force an "Import" to remain In the com
pany's employ.
The fact that the Imported men have
quit the coal regions made possible the
order of Governor Stone, directing that
the soldiers be withdrawn "as fast as the
conditions would permit."
Sheriff Schmidt went to Wllkesbarre to
night and told General Gobin that he wa3
satisfied to reassume the responsibility
of taking, care, of Lackawanna County
from now on. The Sheriff had had inter
views with coal company superintendents
and "found-that they were of the opinion
that troops would not be needed here any
longer. '

now voters. The dominance of elements
like thesa in the politics and Legislature
of the Island constitutes one of the gravest
perils of the situation," said Mr. Twom
bley. A limit upon the enfranchisement
seemed to be absolutely imperative if the
local government was ever to be adminis
tered on a wise, honest and economical
basis. Another danger was that the In
terests of Hawaii would be put more and
more in the background in the future
colonial policy of the United States, or
subordinated to other Interests, which were
antagonistic.
An address by Rcv Douglas BIrnle, who
has been a pastor In Honolulu for several
years, followed. He confirmed what Dr.
Twombley had said in regard to the evils
arising from an ignorant, corruptible and
Irresponsible vote, which had given an op
portunity to unscrupulous politicians. He
drew a picture of the conditions In the
Islands, and said that the only hope for
the future lay in awlse restriction of the
suffrage, the Introduction of Chinese labor
upon the surrounding plantations and re
form of the judiciary. Ho said that the
native population had been reduced to
about S0.O00. and was rapidly dying out
and would soon disappear entirely.

BOLD DOST
WILL INTEREST EVERYBODY
Or at Least Everyone Who Suffers
' . From Catarrh.
Catarrh In its various farms is a Na
tional disease, and the fact that nearly
everybody suffers from it more or less
leads many to neglect Its proper treat
ment Nisal catarrh is a common cause of
headaches, destroys sense smell, and
If neglected reaches the throat causing
impairment and sometimes total loss of
voice. Bronchial catarrh leads easily to
consumption. Catarrh of stomach and
liver are very serious and obstinate trou
bles, while it is now generally admitted
that catarrh Is the most common of all
causes of deifness.
All of the more serious forms of ca
tarrh begin with nasal catarrh, the local
symptoms being a profuse discharge,
stoppage of nostrils, irritation and fre
quent clearing of the throat, sneezing,
coughing and gagging.
Tho old style of treatment with,
douches. Inhalers, sprays, salves, etc..
simply give temporary relief, and every
one who has used any of them knows how
useless they are, and their Inconvenience
Is such that very few hive the time or
patience to continue their use.
A radical cure of catarrh can only be
obtained from a treatment which re
moves the catarrhal taint from the blood,
because no one will .now dispute that
citarrh Is a constitutional or blood dis
ease, and local applications can have no
effect except temporarily to relieve local
symptoms.
A new remedy which has been remark
ably successful in curing catarrh 13 a
pleasant tasting tablet which Is taken In
ternally and acts upon the blood and mu.
cous membranes.
It is composed of antiseptic remedies
like red gum, blood root and similar
cleansing specifics, which eliminate the
catarrhal poison from the system.
Tho tablets, being pleasmt to the taste,
are dissolved In the mouth, and thus
reach the throat, trachea and finally the
stomach and entire alimentary canal.
They are sold by druggists everywnero
under the name of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets. -
If desired, when there Is much stoppage
of the nose, the tablets may be dissolved
In warm water and used as a douche In
addition to Internal use, but a douche is
not at all necessary. A few dissolved In
the mouth dally will be sufficient. Dr.
AInslee says: "The regular dally use of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, taken Inter
naUy, will cure the whole catarrhal trou
ble without resorting to the Inconvenience
of a douche or an Inhaler."
They seem to give a healthy tone to the
whole mucous membrane, and It Is really
remarkable how soon they will clear the
head and throat of the unnatural and
poisonous catarrhal secretion.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets Is undoubtedly
the safest, most palatable and certainly
the most efficient and convenient remedy
for any form of catarrh.
