Pennsylvania Provides Body of Picked Men Against Time of 8trlko, Philadelphia, Feb. 1.1. Wlmn tho great coal ntrlko comes on April 1 the minors will find tliuinmilvuH confronted by a new kind of foo. There will bo no Plnkertonn to "In llniiio the pntnionn of tlm workers." No militia or private guardn of any kind will bo on duty, nor will tlm mili tia be called out. The duty of protect ing life and property will bo confided Ui the ntate constabulary, an organiza tion without a parallel in the United Htaten. Tho nearest approach to It In the body of men known an the "Texan Hangers," famed principally In dime novel, hut the statu constabulary ban greater powers than tho rangers, and far more work to do. At tho lant nennlon of tint lglslatur, authority for tbo organisation of tho force wan given out, and now tho men have been selected, drilled and are ready for work. Tho Btiporlutendimt ol tho force, which now numbers 240 men, but tan bo over fourfold that number if tlm governor decides an emergency exist, Is John U. (Jroomo, a (orumr militiaman, who raw service nn a i-oiumfioned olllcer during the tipnulnh-Aumricau war. Superintendent (Jroomo sternly din reganied all tho premuro that wai brought to U-ar iiimjm him by politb ciann, and not only did ho declare that not one appointment would be made to oblige a dealer In patronage, but ho kept bin word. Several thoimaud men were exam ined before the itiota wan ullvd, and tlmro arn now on the llntn fully 500 (unlilied men, who can bo called iijkjii II an emergency arlten. Ono requirement wan insisted upon: Kvry man bad to be an American, bo tweeu tlm ages of 21 and 40, and be a good borremaii. Although It wnn not a ri'ijuinlto that troopern should have ncen military service, yet It wan found that thono who hnd been in the regular army or the Pennsylvania National gourd bent answered tho tests, and practically all of tlrone chosen have Ihhjii noldler, real or "tin." PACKINO FOR EXPORT. American Goods Sent to Orient Said to Arrive In Dad Shape. Washington, Feb. 13. As a result of the work of snclnl agents sent to the Orient to Investigate trade regulations with tliomi countries, a valuable, object lewon in tho way of packing goods for export Is now furnished by the bureau of manufactured of the department of Commerce and 1-abor. Heavy losses have been sustained and thn growth of exports retarded as tho result of Insecure packing on tho part of American exporters. Numerous photographs have been received show ing piles of boxes on the wharves in China, where the Hritlsh and Gurman boxen are secure, while many of thoen of American make are smashed and tho goods Injured or destroyed. The wood ured (or Imxes In this country Is gen erally too'light In weight and not prop erly held together. One of the Hugllsh lioxcs on exhibi tion is made of hard wood, (even elghtliH of an inch in thickness, with double ends, and 1 1 mil with tin made to tlm exact inside measurements of the box. Inside this tin lining heavy wrapping paper Is placed, In which are packed the bundles of different articles well wrapped and properly marked. Tho tin lining Is soldered bo as to bo water tight, while tho boxes aro held together by steel bauds. American piece goods reach China In machine-pressed bales bound with ropes. Other countries use Iron bands with buckles or locks on the ends. Tlm ropes are tireless for protection, mid as a result there are largo losses on damaged American bales. Some Amer ican mills use metal bands, but they are the exceptions. Chinamen com plain that Americans do not comply with orders as to labels, etc., and the lark of uniformity causes great losses. The Cl.lneso purchase goods as a result of labels of which they have a know ledge. A chango of the label In any respect causes a loss to the merchant. Old Treaty With Prussia. Washington, Feb. 13. Considerable interest attaches, in view ot tho termi nation of tho trade agreement with Germany, on tho first of March, to the fact that tlmro Is still in existenco a treatv of neaco and amity mado In 1828 between the United States and Prusslaj wuicn contains n most mvomi iianun clause under which It Is contended that tho United Statea has the right to demand tho application of the German minimum tariff rates to its Imports, as has been accorded various European countries, Makos Demand on Porte. Constantinople, Feb. 13. Tho Tnrko-Peralan frontier dlsputo remains unsettled. Tho Persian ambassador haa demanded of tho Porto tho evacua tion of lahldjan by Turkish troops and compensation for tho depredations by tho Turkish cavalry. It la belloved that tho Turkish commlaalon which luiB arrived at tho dlaputod territory will recommend to tho Porto the Im mediate withdrawal of tho Turkish troops. Piano Factory Burned. Now York, Feb. 13. Firo storting In the liromullor piano factory, at Tenth avenue and Flfty-flrat streot tonight, caused damage- ostlmatod at $500,000. Tho blaxa spread bo rapidly that for a tlmo several tonementa which adjoin tho piano factory on Tenth avenue and rifty-flrat atroet were threatened.

POOH-BAH OF PANAMA. Cpl. Rhnnfnn, Who la 1t Control tba Slonirrrla ot All Htallona. dipt. Goorgo K. Hhantonof Chug- water, Wyo., chief of police for tho lnthrnuR, marshal of tho Circuit Courts of Panamn, marshal of the Supreme Court of tho canal tone, warden of the canal rone prison nnd coroner thla 1 the man, or, at leant, these arc his ti tle at present A giant of a man U Hhnnton. a laughing, rccklcxs, fearless giant, with n boyish face and pleasing smile, but with n hand of iron and a determination that known no law ex cept the one that get for him what bo wan put there to get ioace through out the canal zone. Facing a situation unprecedented In history and dealing with a clans of men who enre nothing for laws a more statute, Shanton baa cast aside all precedent and molded rule and made punishment to suit the occasion. He 1 now In charge of a force of 140 black CAJT. GEOKGE X. BHA.TTOX. policemen and 40 white one, nud. what ever elso may bo aald of tho cnn.il touo, it 1 reputed to be free of crime and to Shanton belong tho credit. Hut with the beginning of real work on the canal hi dutliM will bo many times lncroatuHl. Fifty thousand men will be at work there then twice aa many us now kucIi n gathering of adventurora na tbo world haa never twforo seen. From nil the earth tho offscourings will bo sifted Into Panama. A'strlp of land 10 miles wide nnd 40 long will hold the scum of creation, tbo criminals of every land. Ten thousand of them will be white, it U estimated -white of akin, If not of heart and tho remaining 40,000 will be made up of tho black and mongrel of nil nations. It will be a daredevil clnsa, Just as it was in the old days, when the French were on tho Isthmus Just a It was when Suox was being constructed Just us auch place, where money la plentiful and tho civilization nnd prenuninbjy tho law distant, al ways draw such men. And up and down among these, from ono cpd of tho zone to tho other, will ride Shanton on his rnmous black broncho, "Whisky rete." "Whisky Pete" is almost as noted on the Isth mus now a Is hi master. He la of tho fighting, biting outlaw" kind. Uutll Shanton got him he know no band as a master's, and even now he la as much an outlaw as ever to all but the llongh Illdcr captain. Shanton turned him In a roping contest at Den ver, won n thousand dollar prize by It, nnd afterward bought the pony, which no ono elno would have. "Whisky Pete" haa followed his master since thou through all his wanderings and they have been ninny. He saw a lot of tho world under Simmon when tho Wyoming man posed as "Klug Qf tlio Cowboys" for Iluffalo 1J111; he was In Cuba whou his master eloped with Margaret Lo Mar, a southern beauty, who now reigns in tbo Shanton home on the isthmus, and tinally he is tho ofllclal mount of tlio Hough Illdcr man of many titles In tho canal zone, Shan ton weigh over -"00 pounds and stands 0 feet 4. Shanton is tlio court of last resort for the men under him nnd for all who break tho law on the Isthmus. What Shauton says "goes"; there Is no apieal and uo going behind the returns. If a man commit a crime ho Is hemmed In by the sea ou two stdea, and Shanton's black policemen watch all outgoing vessels. On the other two Hides the pos8lbk refugee, faces a wilderness from out of which meu do not return except when they go Into It well prepared to face Its dauxera and seldom then. Up and down the short and narrow zone riden Shanton on "Whisky Pete,' ana tho black patrol keep a lookout always. So what Is your poor criminal to do? Why, "Come In and face tho music,' says Shanton. And In be usually corn, either of hi own accord or by force, and when he come he gets such mercy, or such lack of It, as Sban ton'a report paint him deserving. 'This strong arm system has had it effect and crime are few on the Isthmus to day, whero murder, replno and robbery ran riot In tlm old regimo of tho French. There have been only two mnrdeni on the JsUirnu since Shanton became czar. Hut when work on the canal wa progrelng under tlio French, tbo number of murders each night wa ap palling, and seldom or never was any body punished. Itobberle and crimen of every character were so frequent then that they scarcely attracted at tention, and It was expected that a like reign would bo assumed by tbo lawless of tho earth when tho Ameri cans took hold. Utlcn Globe. THE DREAMER. At LmM She Fonnd that 117 Dream Cum In Her. Heater Caplln never could remem ber when her dream first came to her. It must have begun when alio was a child, for the bouse her dream housa wna clear nnd distinct among her earliest memories. It was an old gray gabled place with a snow-drop bush beside the door step and cottago rosea over the back porch, and a row of bbtckheart cherry tree behind. Year by year she had, seen the cherries white with bloom, and watched tho tiny pluk blossom of the snowdrop change to Ivory ber ries, nnd caught tlio morning fra grance of the roses; year by year sho bad seen liappy face at the windows and children running In and out. The face changed, for people cams a ml went In the house, but always thero were happy eye and always there was the gay laughter of children down tlio wind. All through her lonely childhood Hester had lived in tho house. She never had played much with other1 cldldren her mother did not approve of It. As she grow older her mother's exacting invalidism claimed nil her time, and after her mother died thero wns atlll a crippled father whoso tem per was worse twisted than his hands. Through all the prisoned year sho worked with cheerful patience, sura tlmt somo tlmo her hour would come. Hut it was so long In coming! 8ha could not Invito neighbors tn for It annoyed her father; aho could not leave him to go to other place, aho could not even tnko n Sunday school class aho who loved girls so! Sho could only waylay tho doctor some times and send a little soup or Jelly to hi patients, or give a few (lowers to somebody or write a note now and then. 8ho never guessed how could eho? that her dream had already 'come true" In her own heart. Ono day completo discouragement fell upon her. The years stretched out before her gray and empty, and the house had vanished; It had all been a mirage and ahe a foolish dreamer. Why had God let her dream eo If aha was always to bo denied? Then there was a atop upon tho stair, and Hester started.
