THE TUESDAY ms " WORLD: EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1902. THE STRIKE STILL ON. From the beginning of the coal etrike the operators have not allowed a week to pass without an announce- ment thet the end of the strike was at hand and that ‘work was about'to be resumed. This method of weaken- ‘tng the strikers yesterday took the form of a positive Aeclaration that President Mitchell would to-day issue & proclamation ending the strike. President Mitchell emphatically contradicts this declaration and his atti- tude is supported by all the strike leaders. ¥ven if the etrike should end at the date confidently fixed by Senator Platt {t would be a barren victory for the operators if the miners should return to work with- out having secured any of the concessions they asked. It would noi settle the question as to whether the claims of the miners were fair and reasonable, it would not pre- vent the extension of the union principle and of union organization nud it would leave all the old grievances still rankling snd burning, and all to be fought over again, A surrender of the miners would settle nothing; an agreement between employers and employees would be to the interest of both a: the public as well, G he Fu a OF OUR OWN ® e o WINTER'S BTOCK IN ‘The xissing bug has quit the game And sat down at the rear, The bold sea serpent is laid by Until another year; But In their place will follow soon (To knock past feats to splinters) The coldest day this city’s seen In ninety-seven winters. ‘BRING off TWO EXTREMES. “There's nothing so pleasant as an aching tooth—when it's out. “And nothing so miserably unpleas- Sant as a vacation—when it's over.” ® THE RULING PASSION. “Have you no pity?" pleaded the anguished dry-goods clerk whose em- if | ployer had caught him doing stunte ral aa {with the cash resister.

Prince Jerome Napoleon was fond of telling the story of his’ scheme during the Crimean war by which he kept up the spirits of his men. The French army was losing dally large numbers of men through the ravages of the cholera, Marshal Canrobert sent the order to Prince Jerome that he should move his division to Varna, Jerome Issued marching orders and added: “Beek out In every regiment all the actors, comedians, clowns, coniurers and entertainers. 1 will personally ar- range a performance and present prizes to the best entertainer." During the whole of the retreat these performances took place for the edification of the division, Prince Jerome is not famous for any remarkable military triumphs, but this one act must at least be put to his credit, for {t was undoubtedly due to this method of cheering up his men that his division could boast a death roll at least three times as small as that of any other, These perform- ances were the forerunner of tie now famous Zouaye Theatre in the Crimea. $$$ BANKS ON WHEELS.

Among iis fellow-guests was a lady of uncertain age whose strenuous efforts in dress ard manner to subtract from her age gave rise to much quiet ridicule, Her kittenish and childlike ways seem- displeasing to Mr, Choate, although his usual suave man- ner for some time cloaked his growing impatience, At length, one morning at breakfast, the crisis came. She sat down beside our Ambassador and started to open a bolled egg. The egg, which was soft-bolled, slipped from ‘her fingers and smashed on the pollshed oaken table, “Oh, Mr. Ohoate!'’ she lisped, turning on him with an air of babyish helpless- ness, “I've just dropped my egg. What- ever shall I do?” “Cackle, madam! cackle!’ advised the Ambassador, flercely. AND THIS ABOUT DAMROSCH Frank Damrosch was introduced @ few days ago to a man whose wealth excelled his culture. The millionaire, knowing Mr. Dam- rosoh's musical reputation, and seeking to appear at ease, began raking over his memory for such scraps of musical knowledge as might have lodged there. . These he threw wildly at Damrosch, who, quickly sizing up the other man's ignorance, was too polite to let him see the breaks he made. At length, however, the crisis came. ‘The millfonaire asked, learnedly: “By the way, Mr. Damrosch, has that fellow Bach been composing much lately?" e® - ro ee ! oDp!TY CORNER. “My dear sir, answered Damrosch, “Bach has been de-composing for the A gentleman of rather mammoth proportions went out skating one afternoon and his weight was 6o great that it broke tho ico and he got e ducking.
