LINTON COAL MINERS.

They Need Help and Think Terre Haute Should Come to Their Relief.

The Express has been asked by a committee of miners from Linton to call for contributions from the business men and people generally in Terre Haute for the aid of the Linton miners. The committee points out that when times are normal the miners ot the Linton field spend a great deal of money in this city and that as yet they have not asked Terre Hauteans for any help. They say they are needing help very badly this •week and will need it worse next week. There is said to be almost nothing left In the hands of the relief committee. The Express in calling the attention of the people of Terre Haute to the needs of the Linton miners and to their statement of their case has to suggest whatever succor be given should be bestowed at once that it may relieve the suffering miners at the earliest possible moment.

HAVE GREAT DAIRIES

THAT IS WHAT A SPECIALIST 8^18 OF TEBBR HACTEAN8.

He Has Not Seen Their EqnaU la the State—More Park a National "r '1. Model.

For the past two days Professor w. A. Bitting, of the department of veterinary science of Purdue University, has been in this city investigating the dairies. He finished his work here yesterday afternoon and left the city

Professor Bitting is making an investigation of all the dairies of the state for the purpose of issuing a bulletin on the subject during the coming winter. He is making a study of the most advanced methods employed by milkmen and his pamphlet on the results of his inquiry will be for the instruction of everybody connected with the dairy business..

This bulletin will be issued at the expense of the United States government, and is intended for the good of the people who are supremely Interested in securing pure milk. Last winter Prof. Bitting issued a bulletin on tuberculosis dn cattle, and it did an immense amount of good in the way of working up dairymen to the seriousness of this disease and urging them to adopt all possible safeguards against it.

Many of the Terre Haute dairies were personally visited by Prof. Bitting, and he made a thorough examination of them. He had a kodak with him and took a number of views for use in his bulletin. He was especially interested in the scientific methods in vogue at More Park and complimented that dairy in the most enthusiastic terms. Me stated that it is far ahead of anything else in the state, and in at least one respect—namely, the aeration of the milk—surpasses all other dairies in the United States. Prof. Bitting took several pictures of the devices in use at More Park.

Speaking of Terre Haute dairies in general, Prof. Bitting said: "I have seen nearly all the dairies in Indiana, and I must say that those of this city, in respect to sanitary matters, are far superior to any that I have seen elsewhere. More Park is a model for the whole country. The process of aeration is original with More Park and worthy of universal adoption."

FRYE REPLIES TO CHANDLER.

Declares There Was No Legislation Trick in the 10 Per Cent. Tariff Clause. Boston, {Sept. 1.—A special to the Herald from Auburij, Me., gives Senator Fryes reply to the charges made by Senator W. E. Chandler, recently, to tne effect that the tariff clause providing for a 10 per cent, additional duty on for*Sgn manufactured goods brought into the United States through Canada -was passed by a legislative trick. Senator Frye savs Senator Chandler, as to some of tii£ ifacts. is mistaken, and that certa^i of his Insinuations are not well founded. "As to facts," says Senator Frye, a serious and long continued attempt, was made by the ?enate finance committee to adopt and to report to the senate a institute for section 22. Failing to secure a a report of this amenlttent to the senate amendment it was therl advocated very earnestly before the conference but failed of success. This attemptfWas open was advocated in the presence of several senators not of Oie committee at different hearings and preparations made for Its .lis Mission in the senate."

Senator Frye continuing, referred to the fact that all the tariff laws Tor a great many years have contained a lr' per cent, discriminating clause of dutiable goods. "The committee," he said, "recommended that this porvision be amended so that the free, as well as dutiable goods, be included, and that the u«r c«nt. be reduced, but did not name the reduction. Their purpose was simply to have the law in the best possible fcondltion whenever, if ever, the congress should, after full consideration. determine upon discriminating duties."

In conclusion Senator Frye said: "Of how this amendment was secured I know nothing, but that It was by a legislative trick, in the playing of which the conferees were participants with knowledge, I do not believe, nor io I believe that any senator other than Mr. Chandler harbors for a moment such a euspJc'ou.*'

OPENS IN "FORT FRAYNE."

The Stock Company at the Schiller, Chicago, a Probable Success. The audience which greeted the opening performance of "Fort Frayne," at the Schiller last night was, fortunately, more interested in the possibilities of the stock-com-pany's success than, in the merits of the particular play which was chosen for the inauguration of the new management, says the Chicago Tribune.

As far as the capacity of the company goes there can be little room for doubt. The rendering of the play was a triumph for the stock company principle. Grave fears have been entertained as to the possibility of socuring sufficient number of good actors and actresses to form a basis for a whole season's work without the aid of the all-pow-erful syndicate.

There need be no hesitation on that score any longer. It is exceedingly doubtful where there is any combination in America, inside or outside of the sphere of the syndicate's control, which is equal to the Schiller company for all-round excellence.

There are fourteen names in the cast of "Fort Frayne," and hardly a character which does not call for a certain amount of ability on the part of the exponent. Yet out of the fourteen players who appeared there was not one who was genuinely bad, and few who were not positively good.

In Miss Proctor Otis the management has secured an actress of wide training and experience. Her methods are quiet and restrained, although at times she is given to conventional tricks of speech and action.

Of the play itself it is impossible at present, to say much. Its length precluded a detailed first night criticism. Generally speaking, the story is not at all uninteresting, and the climaxes are well arranged. Moreover, the local coloring te excellent where it is not overdone.

PROCTOR KNOTT'S TOWN.

Duluth Made Temporarily Bankrupt by Law of Last Leg sla:are. Duluth, Minn., Sept 1.—The city funds are practically exhausted and the city will probably be paid Off in orders for many pay days to come. Thisf embarrassing state of affairs is due to a falling Off Of $150,00 this year in the taxes. The delinquency is attributed to a law passed at the last legislature allowing tax-payers until Junei of next years in which, to pay their 1S07 taxes.

What to do is a problem that puzales (he city officials. Mayor Truelsen is using •the official hatchet right and left. The heads of one-third of the patrolmen of the police force were severed today and five engine houses of the fire department will •be boarded up. The park commissioners ,at a meeting yesterday decided to stop all •work on the park system for1 this reason, and the board of public works has put an end to further pttblic improvements.
