TACOMA, Wash., July 3.—The settle- ment of the coal miners’ strike at Lady- smith and Cumberland, Vancouver Island, | adds another to the long list of victories | which James Dunsmuir has achieved over | his colliery employes. Last winter the representatives of the Western Federation | of Miners, having headquarters at Denver and Butte, succeeded in organizing unions among the Vancouver Island miners. The | organization was no sooner perfected | than a strike was ordered, 1t teing be- leved that the miners could at last win their fight against Dunsmur. Promises of assistance were made by the Western Federation of Miners, but | the assistance rendered when the pinch came was only a tithe of that expected. { When the miners and their families were | hungry and implored aid from Denver | | they were given a thousand dollars when | | they expected ten or fifteen.

He arrived on the scene each morning In time to wash the break- fast dishes and do the marketing, Once a week he gave the apartment a thorough cleaning, from Scrubbing to dusting. The young women handed him each morning a list of the supplies they required, and all that awaited them at night was their cooking. The verdict of his employers Wwas that their Work was better done| than by any of the women that they had ever had. This student was not the only Columbia man who saw possibilities in housework. Twelve of them earned their board and lodging by LiVIng in apariments where the servant question had become more than a problem. During leisure hours they washed dishes, swept, scrubbed, cleaned, shook rugs, cooked; one man actually did the family washing, and did it well. So ably do the students fili these positions that occasionally a Harlem or Washington Helghts matron is found advertising for a Columbia student who will emancipate her from helpless ‘help.”"—Good House- keeping.

The patient, who was 61 years of age, had long suffered from cancer of the palate angd lip and had repeatedly been operated upen fruitlessly. In the autumn of 1902, when the physicians of the Viennese Hos- Viennese pital declared it was absolurely useless to operate again, one physician deter mined as a last resort to try radium rays and treated the afflicted parts by ex- posing them to the light of radium bro- mide, the strongest radium preparation in existence. He was rewarded by a grad- ual and complete ypearance of the tumors. P! ians at the same meeting report- ed that radium rays had cured a case of melanosarcoma (a2 tumor containing a ack or other dark-colored matter) and several cases of red mol —_—————— MYSTERIOUSLY SHOT ON MARKET STREET Edward Dowahly Receives Sealp Wound While Walking Along Crowded Thoroughfare.
