21. Bishop Huntington made this statement to-day concerning Miss. Anthony's generalisation on vice among men: 'That a statement pronouncing the majority of American men, married or single, Unchaste is quite unwarranted by the facta, I have no doubt The utterance of such a statement' whatever its motive, by a person of Influence and character would seem to me injurious rather than beneficial to the Interests, of purity, of wedlock, of social conditions, or morality generally. While such an expression cannot weaken the foundations of truth or of the Christian religion. It will be apt, I should think, to produce an unwholesome distrust, to encourage the evil-minded In practical recklessness and to disturb that faith In the realty of that goodness which is a part of faith in God." -MARRIED EIS THREE BROTHERS."

General manager Morris Williams of the Susquehanna Coal Company has not yet formulated an answer to be presented to John Mitchell of Indianapolis, president of the United Mine Workers ot America. A dispatch in yesterday's Record, it will be remembered, stated that a strike at all of the Susquehanna Coal Company collieries and other collieries of the Pennsylvania Coal Company in the Pittston and Sha-mokln district and elsewhere would be ordered unless the strike at Nantlcoke and Glen Lyon Is settled. This would affect about 15,000 men. Mr. Williams stated that he had not read the letter until last evening and had not considered a reply as yet.

Col. C. Bow Dougherty of the Susquehanna Coal Company's office was seen by the Record last evening and he stated that president Mitchell of the United Mine Workers evidently did not understand the situation here. The tone of his letter inferred that the company, had refused to confer with the men, which is not the case. A number of conferences have been held and another In to be hetd on Wednesday morning.

The letter had, been talked about, said Col. Dougherty, but nothing was decided upon. The result of the conference will be a waited- before a communication Is sent to Mr. Mitchell. The company deplores the affair of yesterdayr-eepeeMljsneer-tfae-strlker and those who sympathise with them have conducted themselves so orderly In the past: It is attributed to the over-enthusiasm of some women.

It is understood that at the conference this morning the committee of strikers will make soma concessions and will, ask the company to do likewise, and that upon this compromise; if adopted, work will be resumed. The men, it is reported, are willing to knock off all demands except that with reference to the topping of stx Inches on cars at the breaker, which was the chief cause of the strike, the other demands having been added afterwards. If the company agrees to the topping arrangement desired by the men, and several times noted in the Record, the men will agree to the company's requests in other ways. It is probable that If to-day's conference Is not successful the strike wllL last all winter and perhapa longer. DEATH AND BURIAL IH WAXES.

Another big audience at the Grand Opera' House last night witnessed an excellent performance of Du Maurler'i famous play, "Trilby," by the clever Spooner company.

West and the magniscope pictures were well received.

Mr. Bedford then referred to other gentlemen among the guests, introducing John T. Lenahan as the Croker of Luserhe County. Mr. Lenahan said he was never Intrenched in politics unless, forced into, them.

He did not desire to be termed a Croker or a croaker. He offered the Idea that he entered politics for the fun be got out ''of it. And when he got through getting fun out of It he would try to get something else out of it; that might hot happen. "To be serious," said Mr. Lenahan, "this occasion shows good fellowship exists between em- plover and employe.

We rarely meet such sights as this before us to-night, and the men are to be congratulated aa well as the company which employs It gives all of the men present an opr irtunlty to aspire to rise to posU tions occupied by the men to-day In authority to reach a point occupied by your host to-night, who twenty-seven years ago occupied just the same position you occupy to-day. He was a conductor." Mr. Lenahan theo-contrasted the service oftne traction company of to-day to the service we enjoyedaten years ago. He said this system" opened' up great possibilities to every may in its There is not one man among you whom this company does not appreciate. Mr.
