WHAT THE CENSUS TELLS.
S B ELISKR
What does the census say?
Study the figures well:
Hundreds of thousands of hurrying
men,
Each with a story to tell 1
Each with a heart and each with a soul,
Each with bis joys or cares,
Each believing that he, somehow.
Should weigtf in the world's affairs.
What does the census show ?
Hundreds of thousands of men
Wearily quitting their tasks to-night
To toil to morrow again ;
Hundreds of thousands of people, each
Faithfully hoping away
For a glimpse of the chance for the
lucky strike
That each is to make, some day.
What does the census tell ? "
Does it tell of the eyes that ache?
Does it tell of the wreath on the little
mound? y
Does it tell of the hearts that break
Does it tell us a story of brotherhood,
Of help for the halt and blind?
Does it tell of the proud who ride in
front
And the weary who trudge behind?
What does the census show?
Hundreds of thousands of hands,
Knotted and rough and white and soft,
Filling the world's demands;
Hundreds of thousands of sons of God
Toiling in hope, in doubt,
Each with his woes or each with his
joys
That the world cares nothing about.
What does the census say?
What do the figures mean ?
Hundreds of thousands o'er whom the
grass
Will some day be growing greea !
Hundreds of thousands of bubbles cast
About on a troubled sea
Men in myriads hurrying past
With neyer thought of me.

Bla Brief Interview, With at Brake- I
" man and tne Conductor.
"I spent several hours in a small
country town not far from here a few -
days ago," said a young professional
man of this city, "and to kill time I
joined the usual group in the, corner
grocery store. One of the crowd was
a freight brakeman, and he told a
story about a tramp who was stealing
a ride on the bumpers during his last
run.
" 'The conductor seen him first,' he
said, 'and when he came back to the
caboose he said, says, he: "Bill, there's
a blamed ugly loo kin hobo on the
trucks behind the first car. Suppose
you go up and fire him Off." "All
right, cap," says I, and starts front.
When I gets to the first car, I looks
down, and, sure enough, there .was a
big, greasy hobo squattln on the
edge, holdln on to the brake Iron. "HI,
there!" says I, "what d'you mean jby

says the conductor, gettin hot, and
away he goes over the tops. Pretty
soon I could hear him comin back
lickety spilt, on a dead ran. He slid
down the brake Iron like a streak of
greased lightnln and dropped Into
the caboose seat all out of breath.

he, sort of faint. ""Why, how, was

A FISH-CATCHING FISH.
He Has a Month One-third the Slae
of Hla Body.
Most remarkable of strange fishes ,1s
the angler fish, whose very name seems
a paradox. The fishing -fish Is never
theless a reality and a stern one .to 'all
that approach those awful Jaws of ;hls.
With a body the color of mud he gen
erally lies In the. shadow of. somejrock
on the bottom of the sea, waltlngjmo
tlonless for the approach-ofhlsptey.
He is provided with ariodlklndfaii
just over the mouth, and -this is held
out In front of him to. give warninglbf
the coming of something to be swal
lowed. One taken alive was experi
mented on, and It -was found that; if
this projecting fin was ; touched withta
stick, even though the stick ,'xlld not
come near the mouth, the jawsjclosed
convulsively. This shows that,.tefln,
by some provision of -nature, closes'the
jaws as soon as It Is touched.
The mouth Is tremendous, growing
to the width of a foot when the .whole
fish is only three feet 'long. Onefof
these anglers was caught not long
since, and, though it was;only25iiiches
long, a fish 15 inches long' wasifound
sticking in its throat The.angleris
provided with peculiar teeth set In
double or treble rows along; the; Jaws
and at the . entrance of the throat.
Some of these teeth are a foot i long.
He is not a pretty fish to look.at,;but
he attends strictly to,buslness.andwlll

All kinds of tblngsthave been, found

MINERS WAITING
DEVELOPMENTS.
Operators Said; to Have Con
ceded an Advance of Ten
PerCent.
OFFER NOT YET MADE PUBLIC
The Tie-up Nearly Complete About 134,
000 Men Now on Strike All Quiet
at Hazleton Troops to With
draw Coal Declining.
By Telegraph to tne Morning star.
Hazleton, Pa., September 29.
"We are closing the mines and await
ing developments," was all that Presi
dent Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers, would say to-night when
asked whether he had received any
information from New York or else
where as to what the operators are do
ing in their efforts to settle the coal
strike. Although he had diplomati
cally evaded the question, there is a
strong belief here that Mr. Mitchell is
kept fully advised of the progress of
events in the metropolis.
If the reported advance of ten per
cent, has been finally agreed upon it
has not, so far as can be learned, been
offered to any of the mine workers in
the anthracite region.
President Mitchell, speaking on the
general situation from the strikers'
point of view, said: "The newspaper
reports that the operators have con
ceded an advance of ten per cent, has
aroused great interest in the ranks .of
the strikers. The people are standing
united, awaiting authentic informa
tion from the omcuus of the organiza
tion. There are more men idle to-day
than at any time since the strike was
inaugurated, and I have every reason
to believe that the tie-up will be com
plete. About 134,000 men are now on
strike."
New Yoek, September 29. Anthra
cite coal was quoted one dollar a ton
cheaper to day than it was two days
ago. This was taken as an indication
that the railroads and others with
stocks of coal on hand regard an
early settlement of the miners' strike
probable.
Troops to be Withdrawn.
Shenandoah, Pa., Sept. ?9. The
only incident of any importance here
to-day was the conference between
Gen. Gobin, Sheriff Toole and repre
sentatives of mine operators, relative
to the withdrawal of the troops. The
meeting was held at the solicitation
of Gen. Gobin, who said he did not
believe the presence of the troops
necessary, since there is absolutely no
indication of violence on the strikers'
part; with the additional fact that this
district is completely tied up.
The operators were undecided as to
whether the troops should be ordered
home or kept here several days longer.
They finally agreed that Sheriff Toole
was the proper person to decide that
question. The sheriff was unwilling
to assume the responsibility, and told
the Associated Press correspondent
that the matter was in the hands of
Gen. Gobin. The General said there
was no necessity for keeping such a
large body of troops here and that he
had decided to send one regiment
away on Monday. He said to-night
that the Twelfth regiment would prob
ably be the first to depart, though he
could not say positively before to-morrow.
' '
Plans for Settlement.
New York, Sept. 29. The Evening
Post says to-day:
"While the final announcement of
the coal strike settlement is yet forth
coming, there was to day reliable au
thority for the statement that the mat
ters still under discussion are of detail
merely, and that a satisfactory con
clusion will be 'reached in a short
time:"
. "It is conceded every where in the
coal trade that the price of coal after
the strike will never settle down to
the same leyel as before. More than
10 per cent, increase In wages is gen
erally believed to be the concession
the miners will demand, and this will
mean, according to reliable estimates,
an increase of fully 25 cents in the
cost of every ton mined. This will
make the cost at the collieries about
$2.76 a ton. The consumer, of course,
will pay thia difference."
According to the Evening Post a
coal operator said to-day that the rail
road presidents have submitted the
terms for a settlement to the mine su
perintendents to learn whether the
mines could be operated profitably
under them. The PosVa informant
thinks President Mitchell will get
around the difficulty caused by the
non-recognition of the union in this
way. The proposition, the 10 per cent
increase in wages or whatever it may
be, will be submitted separately to each
chapter of the mine workers union.
When a chapter votes to accept it and
notifies President Mitchell of its action
he will endorse it on the ground that
the conditions in that particular place
warrant the suspension of dealings
with the main union direct.

BRYAN IN THE DAKOTAS.
Speech at Fargo His Answer to a Qaes

Br Telegraph to the Horning Star.
Cranston, Minn., "Sept. 29. Mr.
Bryan to-day explored the valley of
the Red River of the North, travers
ing this rich agricultural section
from Washpeton to Grafton and turn
ing back from Grafton to Grand
Forks, then started eastward and
reached this place to-night. He made
nine speeches again to-day and several
of them were more than an hour in
length. The speeches were generally
addressed to farmers and Mr. Bryan
spoke to them as a farmer.
At Fargo, while Mr. Bryan was dis
cussing the status of the Filipinos,
some one in the crowd asked : "How
about the negroes?"
, This question aroused the speaker
and he answered warmly, saying that
the Republicans never wanted to dis
cuss the race question except in cam
paign times.
"If you will look at the Sulu treaty,"
he baid, "you will have a chance to
talk about th negroes during the
campaign. I do not know of a purer
piece of hypocrisy than the hypocrisy
of the Republican who defends the
Sulu treaty and condemns the amend
ments in the Southern States.- The
Republican party has taken the negro
for thirty yearsHo an office door, and
then tied him on the outside. The
negro has bestowed presidents on the
Republican party and the Republican
party has given to the negro janitor
ships in return."

ILLINOIS DRIFTING
AWAY FROM H ANN A.
Republican Managers Are Much Alarmed
by Results of a Recent Poll-Bryan s
. Heavy Gains in Chicago. '
New York Herald, 27th.
Illinois has become more doubtful
than Indiana.
This astonishing development of the
campaign was contained in news re
ceived at Republican National head
quarters yesterday, A poll of the
State, taken for the purpose of arriving
at the exact situation, has shown the
Republican leaders that, while Mc-
Kinley is holding his strength in the
rural districts of the State, Bryan is
making decided gains in the cities.
It is well-known that the Republi
cans are weak in Chicago because of
the strike of the building trades unions
there. The canvass of the State indi
cates forcibly that the Republican ma
jority outside the city of Unicago may
be insufficient to overcome the Demo
cratic majority in that municipality.
Senator uanna, during his trip to
he West, endeavored to stop the strike
but did not succeed in doing so. Illi
nois has hitherto been counted among
the certain Republican States, and the
results of the poll have had a decided
chilling effect upon the campaign
managers.
Another cause for anxiety at Repub
lican National headquarters is the in
sufficiency of campaign funds. Where
a dollar was spent four years ago, the
managers can now spend only half as
much, and they have oeen forced to
shaDe and curtail their plans accord
ingly. This economy extends to the
Republican State and (Jounty com
mittees. Senator Hanna called a meeting yes
