WILKESBARRE, Pa., Sept. 6.—At the| close of the seventcenth week of the min- ers' strike both sides to the contest say | they are satisfied with the situation. The operators state that the output of coal this week was greater than any other week since the strike began. The strik- ers, on the other hand, assert through their officers that the efforts of the big | companies to resume mining have been a | At strike headquarters it is admitted | that the washeries are turning out a cer- | taln amount of coal, but it is asserted the bucket. President Mitchell said to- | night that the miners were just as de- termined as ever and that all talk of | them going back to work was without | foundation. | A cave-in covering twenty acres over the Payne mine at Dorranceton took place this evening and caused great excitement. The cave-in affects some valuable prop- erty in Wyoming street, the foundations of some of the mansions in this thorough- fare having been cracked badly. Large A further cave-in is expected and a number of men have been placed on guard | to give the alarm should the earth sink still further. The cave-in is due, it is sald, to the | § fact that water accumuiated in the work- ings while it was idle and rotted the tim- bers, causing the roof in many places to fall in. Pillars also have given way, and this weakened the surface. . Women Balloonists. If Herr August Riedinger of Augsburg is to be believed, a new career has just opened for women, in which they need not fear much competition from men. Ae- cording to him, women are by nature spe- | | | ought to be employed in preference to men in all those places where_balloons are now manufactured. Herr Riedinger practices what preaches. He has a large factory which he makes balloons and he employs | only women. Archduke Leopold Salvator | visited his factory the other day, and it | was women who explained to Rim the mechanism of the various machines and | who got ready the balloon in which he took a short trip. Moreover, a woman accompanied him during this trip and | gulded the balloon the entire way. When a large balloon has to be launched, | ! a task which is ordinarily supposed to | requige several exceptionally strong men, | Herr Riedinger employs only women, and | he says that twenty young girls can do the work satisfactorily unless a very | strong_wind is blowing, and that even | then they can do it with very little as- ance. ‘According to Herr Riedinger, tact, de-, clsion, sk dexterity are | most essent these are he | ory qualities in which Courage and coolness, dispensable, but he this respect women eare| | quite as well endowed as men, and that ! in critical moments they may even prove | | themsélves to be In France this novel statement is o ing much commert. “I do mot think, says one writer, “that French girls wouid achleve such wonders as aeronauts, for | they are decidedly nervous and not at | all like the large, stolid girls of Augs- { burg, who work o faithfully for “Herr | Riedinger and who are evidently the de- | | scendants of those ancient German wom- | | en whom Tacitus described as belng | | | most in all respects equal to man. | @ feirimlinteiledepbetlniegeioteleiuinlb @ | Voorman and Mrs, Lewondowiter. | Chg | The opening reception of the Deutsch Club will take place at Golden Gate Hall | Tuesday evening, September 30, ] E e Mr. and Mrs. Colin M.

Too modest to visit the family phisicien and sub- mit to the inevitable ex- amination, the majority of them suffer in silence and to such an extent that it is not long before they are so lacking in strength and soon feel that life has no fncentive J for them. There are times when ‘‘silence is golden,” but ’tis not when a woman's body is Tacked by the tortures which a prolonged case of weakness of the gerital organs produces. Large sums of money are being spent daily in the search for relief from the pain which holds the gentler sex in its clutches; headaches, backaches, leucorrhoea, irregular or suppressed menstruation, falling of the womb, etc., are simply the resuit of a weak, exhausted condi- tion of the generative organs.

TOM JORNSON NSES VOICE Famous Mayor of Cleve- land Talks to the Democrats, LORAIN, Ohio, Sept. 6.—The Democratic State campaign was opened in this city to-night in a tent where the Rev. Herbert Bigelow, candidate for Secretary of State, and Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland addressed an audience of 3500 persons. Mayor Johnson, who made the principal address, referred entirely to State issues. He satd in part: The last State Legislature, controlled and gulded largely under the influence of two Unlted States Senators, did some good things. They passed a constitutional amendment, one of the best things done In thirty years. I com- mend that portion of the work. It is not our purpose to fight principles merely because they 8o long as I live I will never fight a principle that I belicve is right, no matter what party is responsible for it. But the Legisiature, with the knowledge that the steam railroads were not paying by $4,000,000 & year in taxes as much as farmers and home owners, deiiberately increased them but $400,000 a year instead of $4,000,000. The last Legislature exempted stockholders of rail- Toads from taxation and placed the burden upon the property of those engaged in competitive business in the State of Ohlo. The facts have been stated. No one has denled them and when an attempt was made fo make them pay a just sum the Supreme Court sald the iaw wag not sufficlent to make them pay. The Republican leaders have carried out a corrupt bargain to make the people of Ohio pay more than their share of taxes In order that those owning monopolles living outside the State should pay less. That is what we condemn in the State Legislature. ‘When Mayor Johnson had finished his spesch he invited questions from his hearers. He was asked as to a remedy for trusts. Replying, the Mayor said that the campalgn of fairer taxation inaugurated in Ohio would, he thought, remove a great many the objections now held against trusts, He said that the immense holdings of the United States Steel Corpora- tion dld not necessarily make it an objectio able carporation, that justice was done the pecple in the matter of taxing its im- mensely valuable ore and other mining proper- thes. VAST IS THE POWER OF THE RAYS OF THE SUN Though to speak of bridges breathing appears passing strange, nevertheless in- dnimate structures are never still for a moment during the livelong day. The Britannia bridge, for instance, which is 400 feet long under normal cir- cumstances, 18 from a half to 3 inches longer at 3 p. m. than it is twelve hours later, according to the amount of sun- shine it is subjected to, which draws it sometimes an inch upward if the heat strikes the top of the tube, cr to one side when the sun increases its temperature laterally, though the heaviest trains wiil only bend it half an inch at any time. In like Tanner intense cold will cause a bridge to shrink more appreciably. To show how intense the cold must have been, we have only to point out that Southwark bridge over the Thames, which, however, is only about one-ninth the length of Brooklyn bridge, only rose | in the center to the amount of 1'¢ inches for 30 degrees rise In temperature. To allow for expansion or contraction, the builder of the Clifton suspension bridge provided the ends of the roadway with hinged flaps 8 feet long, which allow of perfect freedom of movement; and the makers of the tower bridge, which is about 2% inches longer in the summer than in winter, made a simflar allow- ance. After the choir of Britol cathedral was covered with sheet lead in 1851 it was dis- covered two years later that, notwith- standing the fact that the length of the covering was 60 feet, and its depth 191-3 feet, it had crawled down bodily for 18 inches, drawing out nails from the raft- ers in its course which had been driven 1nahto arrest its progress. The explana- tion of the movement lies in the fact that the lead naturally expanded more freely down¥%rd than upward ‘subjected to the sun’s heat, and that when It con- tracted at night it drew its upper edge after it, In preference to climbing up to it. The Eiffel tower, like « the Britannia bridge, is ever on the move, elther up- ward or downward, according to the tem- perature, the summit of the tower, so it is sald, entailing an extra climb of 5 inches when the temperature is high than in the cool of the day, while in winter it is 8 Inches shorter than at midsummer, Even the white marble obelisk dedicated to Washington, which, erected at a cost of £260,000, rears its head 535 feet in height on the bank of the Potomac, is not proof against the power of the sun, and is said to increase {ts height by 2 inches and to_bend slightly on a hot day. With regard to the latter movement, a copper wire ' 174 feet long, carrying a plummet suspended in a vessel of water, renders perceptible the slight bend of the shaft caused by the rays of the sun pour- ing on one side only, though the inelina- tion of the apex of the monument amounts to but a few hundredths of an inch toward the north each day at noon throughout the summer. The rallway line is a very powerful res- pirator. Probably every Answerite has noticed the gap between each rail. In winter this chink will be over a quarter of an inch in width, but in summer it will be quite closed up. During one of the frecuvent civil wars incidental to South America one of t belligerents conceived a umique method of train- wrecking. During the night he drove steel wedges tightly Into these gaps for a considerable distance. The heat of the sun next day caused the rails to breathe heavily, but, as they could not expand lonfltud]nallg', they "twisted themselves clean out of the chairs which clamped them to the sleepers, and the raflway flwas rendered completely useless for traf- c. A battleship is over 6 Inches longer in summer than in winter, and an ironclad in the tropics is nearly a foot longer than her sister ship in a more northern sea. One of the most powerful breathing ma- terials employed for engineering work is concrete. The aqueduct for the convey- ance of the water for London, extending from Bell Weir to Hampton, a distance of about eight and three-quarter miles, is provided with what are technically termed expansion joints at intervals of 30 feet to enable the material to breathe.— London Answers. GTY DEFENDERS OT THE FOE Venezuelan Revolution- ists Suffer in a Big Battle, a2z Spectal Dispatch to The Call. 1 CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—The Vene- zuelan revolutionists who have been threatening Caracas for weeks were re- pulsed in battle just outside that city yes- terday, according to 2 cablegram received et the State Department from United tates Minister Bowen, who was within earshot of the combat. No detalls of the engagement are obtainable or any infor- mation as to the extent of the defeat of the revolutionists. Minister Bowen states that the battle occurred on a mountain directly behind the American legation. It lasted for four hours. The United States legation is an old hacfenda several miles from the heart of the city of Caracas. It stands at the foot of a range of mountains which en- circles Caracas. The revolutionists have been advaneing from the southward against Caracas for several weeks. The advance guard was 1eported to have taken possession of Cua, about twenty-five miles from Caracas, on the raflzoad which connects the capital with Santa Cruz.
