RUMIT ROSE WILKES-BARRE FACT JOHNSON HOME FROM EUROPE Dr. F. C. Johnson, one of the proprietors of the ilkes-Barre Record, returned home last evening from a five months' tour of Europe. Dr.

Johnson was accompanied by his wife and they had a very pleasant and interesting trip and appear to be greatly benefited in health. They were busy to-day receivthe congratulations and greetings of many friends on their safe return. The only unpleasant feature was the stormy passage on the return trip. The ship, a large slow boat, was twentyfour hours overdue, making the trip. in eleven days.

Five days were very storymy, head winds were encountered, the ship was tossed about considerably and the machinery broke down twice during the voyage. Johnson was greatly interested in coal strike, and he found it the subject of considerable talk in Europe, as well as on shipboard. It seemed to be the general topic of conversation and he tried to follow the incidents of it in the foreign papers. At Berlin he read read in a German newspaer that the Ninth Regiment had been called out. In London, the newspapers devoted some space to the coal strike and as he was about to leave he read of President Roosevelt calling a conference for a settlement.

That raised the hope that a settlement would soon be effected, and for eleven days the subject was debated among the American passengers with some interest. At Sandy Hook when a pilot came a aboard, Dr. Johnson heard a voice call out: "Is the coal strike settled?" This was the first question asked and when the pilot answered, "No," there was considerable disappointment. Dr. Johnson says New.

York looks horrible. with the pall of black smoke and soot caused by the soft coal now being burned there. He is very glad to get home and is doubly pleased that the strike is about ended. THIS DEPUTY HAD THREE REVOLVERS An intoxicated deputy named George F. Rice, armed with three revolvers, terrorized things generally in the neighborhood of Stegmaier's brewery this afternoon.

About 12:45 o'clock the fellow approached a gang of workmen who are engaged in laying cobblestones near the brewery and asked them what pay they were receiving. The foreman promptly told to mind his own business, but the fellow persisted in his abuse to such an extent that the boss cobbler was compelled to arop aim to the ground with a right hand hook. As soon as Rice recovered from the chlow he arose and, pulling out three revolvers, began to load up. The workmen took to their heels and one of the number ran to the City Hall and notifed the police. Officer Hanlon hurried to the scene and attempted to take the deputy into custouy.

When about two feet from the officer, the man pointed one of the pistols at him and threatened to fire. The pollceman, however, bravely grabbed the man and wrested the revolver from his With the assistance of health officer Evans, Rice was taken to the lockup. He gays his home is in Philadelphia and that 'he is a deputy at the Hollenback colliery.

Lansdale. the second reading of the tariff bill in the Reichstag tolay, Chancellor Von Buelow said: "The new tariff is necessary for obtaining from other countries greater concessions than we have hitherto had. I refer especially to the United States augmentations of the tariff during the past twelve years. Our new tariff makes it still possible for us to conclude new commercial treaties of long duration. But the augmentation of the minimum tariff of the Agrarian duties or other minimum tariffs would render it impossible for new treaties to be arranged.

The tariff bill contains the extreme limit which is possible." Count Von Buelow concluded by appealing to the pass the bill without modificationa.

Stones and sticks were thrown at the police by the rioters, who only fell from the cars when the police advancled with their clubs and revolvers drawn, The cars, consigned to Harrison Brothers, chemists, arrived late in the afternoon and were shifted to a siding.

Soon after several coal pickers slipped up on the cars and commenced throwing the coal down on the tracks. The crowd increased rapidly and when three policemen appeared upon the scene there were a hundred men, women and children working like beavers, carrying away the coal. They had dropped the bottoms out of the cars in order to get at it easier, and no attention was paid to the policemen until they made a rush. Then they were met by a volley of missiles of all description. The guardians of the law retreated, but soon returned re-enforced railroad detectives and a detail of police.

Even then the rioters were loth to leave their prize and retreated -in good order, throwing stones, and many were staggering under a load of the precious fuel. It is said that nearly a car load of the coal was taken and a guard was necessary about the cars to keep what was left. SLOANE TO BUILD MONSTER BARN PITTSFIELD, Oct. D.

Frequently he re- lieved the tedium of the business life with a trip out to the farm to spect the place. On one of these visits he strolled out to the piggery. The ever-ravenous porkers heard him coming, and, persistently on the lookout for feeding time, they scrambled into the trough and braced their feet against the side of the pen. As Mr.

Chisholm peered over. the fence the hungry swine, with a huff and a puff, began to grunt, 'Heugh, heugh." "Now, how," chuckled Mr. Chis. holm, "did. those cute little critters know my name?" Violet-Seented Seaweed.
