A new artificial fuel has been discovered by Dr. Jacob Mellinger, the well known Baltimore chemist, says the Baltimore Sun. The basis may be ordinary street dirt, and Charles A.

President John Mitchell, of the $ C United Mine Workers, has stated that he will | | call a convention of the union men and recom- | $ mend to it the acceptance of the proposition to $ | arbitrate the strike questions. President Mitch- | $ ell's statement was issued from the strike head- jsD | quarters in Wilkesbarre at ten o'clock this $ $ morning and reads as follows: jSi | "Appreciating the anxiety and impatience of $ | the public and the mine workers for some au- | | thoritative statement from this office, I issue % if: this bulletin to say that I was unalterably op- ? | posed to the acceptance of or acquiescence in $ the form of settlement proposed by the coal | | operators because it restricted the President of  Hi the United States in selecting the men who are  | to determine the questions involved in the J, if; strike. These restrictions have been removed  jjj and representation given to organized labor, as | ice well as to organized capital. I am now prepar- $ | ed to give my personal approval to the settle- | # ment of the issues involved in this strike by the commission selected by the President, and shall | !( recommend to the executive officers of Districts | | 1, 7 and 9, in their meeting today, that an im- | $ mediate call be issued for a convention, whose !■D:# | authorization is necessary to declare the strike $ | at an end. In the meantime, I trust that the  | people of our country will bo as patient as pos- | | sible, as we are moving as rapidly as the inter-  k ests of people will permit." ijj Corner Main and Thomas 8ts.

"It Is to be considered that in this fuel the quantity of nshes is not influencing In any way the capacity of the heating power, as the chemicals of themselves are the heat producers. In natural coal whatever residue there is Is to be deducted from Its heating power, not overlooitlng such weight as ashes, cinders, slag and soot. In this new fuel the consumption Is well nigh complete. Evans Bros. The Climax of Shirt Waist When you buy Groceries It is well to remember we are always Lowest in Price. T. H. Watkins Represents Operators and E. E. Clark the Miners. "The high temperature so necessary to attain any given degree of heat requires a draft or current In similar ratio to bring about combustion. Necessarily the loss through drafts is great while with this new fuel such Is not the case. Once combustion has taken place the heat and energy need not go as so much waste up through flues and chimneys. Highly satisfactory experiments have been made with the new compound as an Uluminant.

"The fuel gives off no smoke, Is not afTected by damp storage, and during Its use the doors of furnaces and stoves may be closed or open, as desired. The residuum of the fuel may be utilized almost endlessly In Its repeated manufacture, which process Is simple, and for that reason the cost of production would be very low.

A commission of six persons, with a seventh, Mr. Carroll D. Wright, lis recorder, will adjust differences between operators and miners.

It was learned a few moments later tliut the chief feature of the agreement was the adoption of a sixth member of the arbitration commission, the surmise following as a mutter of course that the additional member would be u representative of lelwr.

Announcement that the great strike was off was mnde by Secretary Root with exuberant good humor at the White House shortly after 1 o'clock. Organized labor has a representative on the commission in the person of E. E. Clark, grand chief of the Order of Hallway Conductors, named as a sociologist. The president added Illshop Spalding of Illinois to the list of tlve members suggested by the operators. As named the commission is perfectly satisfactory to both miners and operators. Assent of the miners was given through President Mitchell and Sir. Sargent, commissioner of immigration, and of the operators through Messrs. Robert Bacon and George W. Perkins of the bankiug firm of J. I'. Morgan & Co. The final outcome followed a series of conferences beginning with two during the day with Mr. Mitchell and two during the night with Messrs. Bacon and Perkins. Events moved quickly at the last, the president being determined on a speedy settlement. The commission will assemble in a few days and choose a chairman, probably Genernl Wlto. It then will arrange for sessions and testimony. 46 South Main Street, Piitston, Pa. Bacon i»id Perkins Arrive.

The conference with the four men named lasted from 7 to 8 o'clock, and then the president walked to Secretary Hny's dinner, while his two visitors whose names were not announced went to the Arlington hotel. Messrs. Bacon and Perkins are there, having arrived yesterday. They did not register, however, and no cards would bo taken to their rooms, so it was impossible to learn anything of the situation from them.

Mrs. Cranflll, of Troy, I. T„ writes: "For a number of years I was troubled with indigestion and dyspep sia which grew into the worst form.
