Here is tbe first hint of autumn frost. A large symmetrical maple with dense foliage has a Urge bunch of colored leaves half way tip which looks like a red Jacket climbing among the branches. Some looos are sailing in alter abandon over the waters, one of thera swimming only a little distance aside from our passareway and declining to dive as the boat goes by. They are protected by law against the hunter. Just ahead of us the shores sre perpendicular and the boat goes near enough to toss a pebble on the colossal, decorated rocks.

Just around the point a farm house has come down to the shore to salute us as we pass. It Is surrounded by a Urge orchard with thousands of red apples blushing amid the branches. Esthetlcally this orchard: would take the first prise: we never saw so much redness In one place. The colors were delicate, sub dued like the crimson blushes of a maiden's cheeks beneath the shadow of a large overhanging hat.

The trip is still in creasing in charm and interest. The track of the steamer meanders about the islands, which are so distributed that the steamer is obliged to glide around among them.

Wt certainly. according to appearance, have lost our course and can see nothing a pea a 01 us but the shore, which is only a bunch of Islands. When we approach they separate and make several Chan nets and It is difficult to tell tbe right one. Several times we guessea wnere the boat was going, but it dldn go that way. At the left is' a narrow passage and at the right the open waters, which must be the steamer's course; but no, it throws Its nose into the narrow channel, winds around a point, twists away in an opposite di rection, and apparently again loses her course, and vet she elides througn tne channels 'neath overhanging branches snd follows her wonted path out into the open and into another entanglement among the islands, a veritable aquatic maie, lined on either side with dark pines, pouring forth tneir rrag-rance upon the morning air, laden.

14. The truth-fulness of the story of the finding of a pot containing $49,800 in gold coin in Chesterfield County, S. C. is given credence by Deputy United States Marshal Ben Barnes of Arhevllle, who, according to a special, says he has authentic Information that a Swedish captain captured the gold or. the high seas more than a century ago, buried It near Chesterfield and made a chart showing its location.

Returning to his native land' he soon' died, willing' the burled treasure to his heirs, who havs made several unsuccessful efforts to locate the treasure. Mr. Barnes was offered 115.000 to locate the gold, but being In the employ of the government could not give time to the search. Hs Is confident that the find was genuine. PONY'S KICK WAS FATAL GIRL.

The loss Is not vet I i A NEW YORK NEWEPAPER TALKS WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE MINERS UNION. A recet article la the New York Tribune might serve to show how strangers view the miners, their chief and the aims of their union.

The writer gives opinions front the different viewpoints. An extract reads as follows: "Glad to see you." he said, holding out a big hand that got its grip from grasping a pick In his youth, and you know that he was glad to see you. They have heard in New York that there was likely to be a strike in the anthracite country. Mr Mitchell," ex plained the correspondent. eii.

i really believe they've heard wrong." he said, -with a smile that faded Into a serious expression as he continued. "What you should have heard was that the miners are going to ask certain things from the operators, ana that these things are so reasonable that the operators will be llkeiy to grant them. I don't think there will be a strike." And these demands, which seem so reasonable?" asked the correspondent. As the miners' convention will not be held until December, it is not possible to speak with exactness as to what they will demand," continued the chief miner. "I can give you only my personal opinion.

We will likely ask for the recognition of the union as a preservation of lasting peace. We believe firmly that eight hours should be the working day of the whole American coal field of the anthracite as well as the bituminous. And there will doubtless be some minor points which will be decided on at the convention." "Have you had any hint as to the reception these demands will receive from the operators?" No demands have been made as yet. and until we have put our case before them, no man can say how the oper ators will stand." he continued. -We know this, that both the operators and miners must defer to the public, and that a strike is the last thing the public wants.

v-- We are putting forth every effort at this time to build up our organisation. By the time of the December convention we will have it fully recruited with regular members who pay their dues. Practically all of the non-English speaking miners are union at heart, and would be with us in case of a strike. We are having great success in getting them into regular membership. "At the beginning of the last strike we had 35,000 paid up members.

When the time comes to talk with the oper ators sgaln we should have 14(000 members. We gained a deal of experience In the trouble of 1902, and our members learned the lesson of putting aside something to tide them over any further trouble which might be neces sary. They have saved money, for work has gone on pretty steadily since the strike." u-r-: UNION RECOGNITION. President Nicholls of the Scranton district, when seen by the Tribune correspondent, went rather more into de tail regarding the reasons back of the demands which the men will surely make. "We want recognition of the' union for business reasons," he declared.

"There is nothing sentimental about it. How can the operators enter into an agreement with the miners unless they do recognize us? The strike slon sd to deal with somebody, and the award recornised the union in everything but name. If they give us full recognition we can make the men live vp to their agreement Tne union Is under no obligation to make them do so at the present time. The operators are willing to have us keep our men in line, but they are" unwilling to give us the privileges which should, go to those who are responsible. 'Take the matter of discharging men.

without giving a reason, as an instance. of one of our objections to tns present arrangement. We held that the companies should give a business reason for every discharge. Otherwise It opened up the way for discrimination, which the award carrou u. Wright who acted as decided that the companies could discharge men without reason and their men couio.

quit without reason. As a result, there was a time when all of the officers of the locals in ths Panther Creek Valley were let out without cause." If the union was recognised would it not mean that none but union men would be allowed to work In the mines?" was asked. "That does not necessarily follow, he declared. "That is a point which has not come up. The advantages of belonging to the union would probably, be so great under these circumstances that all would want to gev in.

Then we could control the men perfectly, and there would no longer be any danger of strikes." IS, A STRIKE NECESSARY? After the December convention a committee will doubtless be appointed to visit the coal operators in New York and lay the demands before them. District presidents Nisholls, Dettrey and Fahey will probably be th men. The operators are quietly at work building public opinion throughout tbe district. Reprints of a msgaslne article by David Wilcox on "Present conditions in the anthracite coal industry" have appeared and are being distributed in large quantities. "The operators are not unduly apprehensive of a strike In April of next year," said one of the big operators of the Wyoming Valley with whom the correspondent talked, "but this lack of apprehension must not be taken as a sign of weakness.

It is generally understood that the operators will make no attempt to reduce wages or increase the hours, and with the majority of the employees the present arrangement does well enough. The time is not ripe for an eight-hour day. and the men know It. The questlon-Of recognition is not of sufficient importance to bring about a strike. There may be some ro-adjustms of the wage scale, but think thst It can be arranged by the Conciliate Board.

It may be found that there ere too many men employed in some of the mines, and some adjust ment may be reacnea wnicn wui tena to give all of the miners an opportunity for doing a full day's work. This. I understand, is one of their grievance. So far a I can see. however, there I nothing in the situation which can make a strlks necessary, end from th miners' point of view such action would be most Inexpedient." To September 7th.

But what of earth?

The prisoner, according to the communication, at one time lived in this country and hid a large fortune in a strong Iron box. which was burled somewhere near Bloomsburg. Mr. Bomboy, like others In this section who received similar communications, paid no attention to the master.

New Station for Berwick. The Berwick Enterprise say that ths Pennsylvania Railroad Improve rrents win prooabiy be completed this fall. These Improvements Include ths building of a new and modern freight house ana tne moving and entire re modeling of tht passenger station. Both of these improvements are greatly needed. Freight and passenger traffic has In creased to such an extent at Nescopeck that the present buildings ars too small, the present time another track Is being placed In the yards at Nesco peck.

When the passenger depot Is re modeled it win also be moved. Question of Pronunciation. Editor of ths Record: We have a debating: society In our town snd the following question cams up for consideration the other evening at one of our meetings: Is the name Jerroid and Gerald sounded the same? One side claims that should be sounded In pronunciation in both cases, while th other claim that tbe nam "Gerald" being of Celtic origin should have ths sound of J. M. D.

They are pronounced alike. Jerroid is a surname while Gerald Is a Christian name. As to sound of th letter It has two seunds, as you may note pronouncing the words and "gin." Girls See Bears. While Allan Kirby ail Miss Bather Weckesser wore riding their ponls over Arbutus Peak at Glen Sumrnft on Wednesday they were surprised to a full grown bear and two cubs. Th cubs were playing by the side of ths road and 'the -old bear was slightly back from the road In ths brueh.

She stood up on her hind legs and looked for a few moments, snd then mad off into the deep woods- Serie sf Letters. The trip 1 am describing triangu lar. Kingston. Montreal and Ottawa are tha three ooiata of tbe triangle. Tbe previous article described the trip oown the St Lawrefics over ue iucnf lieu Ontario line from Kingston to Montreal and over the Canadian Pacific from Montreal to Ottawa.

Along tne line of the Canadian Pacific, reaching from ocean to ocean, are many summer resorts. There are so many that they cannot he described. About Ottawa there are manv Darks and riverside resorts. The Parliament building are massive in construction nnd beautiful In architecture. The highest legislative body is the Senate, composed of eighty- four members.

These are appointed oy the National Cabinet, an power to be delegated to a rmill body of men. A larg portrait in ell of George III and Charlotte decorate one end of ths Senate chamber. The governor general of Canada open the Senate at the beginning of the session and conducts the closing- ceremoni-is. The speaker of the House holds office for five years, sfter which his portrait Is placed upon the walla of the corridors. Notioeable among these portraits was that of Hon.

David Wark of one hundred years of age. He died last month at the age of one hundred and two. Of course he was the oldest Senator, having held office since th Confederation Canada now consists of the provinces of Quebc, Ottawa. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia. British "c-lumbla and Prince Edward Island.

These provinces bear a relation to the central government similar to that the individual States to our Central government at Washington. The governor general has the to veto. He signs all bills (n the presence cf the Senate and the House of Commons. Tbe membership of the Hous of Commons, is 212. The salary of the legislators is 12,500, and the salary of the governor general the same as our President.

government library contains about' 300,000 volumes. The centre cf this building is crowned with a dome end about the sides are the tiers of books and reading rooms with other shelves in adjoining: rooms. In the reading room for periodicals we notice as conspicuous the portraits) of Lord Aberdeen and Lord Dufferin. Reluctantly we leave the city for the trip over the Rideau Lakes. Part of this trip is by canal, and canal trawl Is supposed to be dull, but not so hers.

As soon as leave the dock we begin tomove along the front of a. most beautiful park. The drives in this park are Apparently of perfect construction. Next to the canal Is a walk protected by ah Iron fence, and rising above this in beauty Is the rront of the park. The grounds are decorated with autumn foliage In full bloom.

Elms, pines, cedars, poplars. of all slaes, from the little shrub to fun grown tree, make additional at tractions. This park extends about nve miles, and before we had passed it said it there was nothing more to see we would be repaid for all effort and trouble of the trip, i This part, of tne journey was very restful after two or three days spent Jn vigorous sight seeing in Ottawa. The recent rains had made the rpark intensely green. Thus we glide alone for miles with a perrect Dower or emerald delight on either This indeed is rest.

A little beyond) the park nature has done magnincent work, and there is a long row of heavy follaged cedars laving their lower branches in, the Rideau waters. There Is enough aesthetic beauty to satiate the most voracious kppetite. Common scenes are uncon sciously. set, aside while we take in simply the but even these are tod many to be We are impressed with the set that iGod has made a beautiful world and when man co-operates with his Maker we have an earthly paradise. The distance from Ottawa to Kingston is 12 miles, of which distance the canal covers ten.

There are forty-eight locks, but many of them "are passed In the night. The first lock Is double, each one lifting eleven feet. Sitting on the upper deck the waters head are on a level with our faces. We passed over about a dozen lakes, the largest being eight miles In the widest place snd twenty-one miles lohg Tributary to these lakes ovsr which we glide and adjacent to them kre hundreds we eannot see. Much of our information we obtained from the pilot, who has been on these waters forty-eight years.

His name is William Scott and he began his inland sailor life when a lad of The pilot is always an interesting chsracterv The canals snd locks were projected In 1825 and finished in 1832, costing 15,000,000, which was a large amount for those early days. They were con ktructed by the British government after the War of 1JU. to make a water way from Montreal to the Great Lake which would be free from American interference. Hence they selected the course from Montreal to Ottawa and Ottawa to Kingston. But we have been at peace with our neighbor across the border and the purpose for which the water way wa made to transport materials and supplies for war purposes, with its forts and towers, has never been needed.

THE MORNING SCENE. It is Just after sunrise. The night was peaceful and nature Is rested and fresh. We are entering the big Rideau Lake. That is the name of the lake, but this morning a better name would bs Mirror Laks.

The water is silvery and "bent on reflection." Every object is seen twice. The esstem shore Is fringed with heavy cedars, on th west sre thousands of white birch, ahead Is an Island of about two acres with nature' masonry on all sides. Two tents and two cottages are on a summit reached by twenty steps rising from the water. It Is called 8tar Island. There are man other Islands, bay, peninsulas, channels, gulfs, making a fascinating morning seen.

Just shead of us on a point Is a colony of tents decorated with Union Jacks, snd a little to one side sre ths noses of the skiffs pushing Out from the bushes Just far enough to breaths well. In another direction are twenty or thirty Islands which look like a fleet riding upon ths waters. The peculiar streaks of light and ths reflection make tre Island appear to be adrift snd float Ing.
