An old and experienced Aspecialist in
won1en's whins and woes was asked the
other day If there really was a cure for
nerves
He is as cautious as he is wise. so
he answered evasiveiy: There is a cure
for some women, aad hat is to have a
fad. What is o called a fad was
once called by the more expressive name
Of hobby and exercise on one's own
hobby-horse every day for a few weeks
was a pretty sure cure for most cases of
mental depression. provided the hobby
WAS a sufficiently gentle, reliable and in
tercsting one.
"Of course. ] shall be criticised for say
ing so. bus half the nervous women
who have Keen benefited by the bicycle
were benefited because they took up the
wheel as a fad. Learning took their
thoughts out of everyday channels, rid
ing was a new Interest," even cleaning
the spokes and pumping Vi the tire were
fresh and consequently delightful pas
times.

the report is as follows:
It proclaims the answering allegiance
OK the association to the highest ideals OF
our public educational system: stands fol-
good citizenship. 1t emphasizes in par
ttcular at this time the duty of the school
to the community that 1t represents: de.
mands. that school administration in all
its departments shall be wholly free from
political influence and dictation OF every
sort: appeals to educated public opinion
and to the press of the country to enforce
this demand. 1t believes that the public
schools are increasing in efficiency as the
tenure of teachers is made longer and more
secure; believes 1t to be the duty, as well
as the opportunity of the American college
to open Its doors to the largest number of
students possible. The report urges more
attention to the study of the history and
principles of education in colleges and, I'M
versities; asks the attention of the exec
utfve and legislative departments of the
government to the valuable work Of the
bureau of education and to the pressing
need of adequate appropriations for its
support.

vention adjourned sine die.

rent Success of the big Gathering
Mt San FranciscO.

Grent SUCCESS OF the big Gathering
at San FranciscO.
San Francisco, July 1O.-Friday's
proceedings and the incidents of the
great convention have fully demon
strated the fact that never before in the
history of this organization of phenom-
enal growth has any of it's annual gath
erings been crowned with such success.
1t has required the efforts of big
squad of police to keep the people away
from the monster halls in which the
meetings are being held. For more
than an hour before the time set for the
opening of the services Friday evening
the streets near Woodward's and Me-
chanics' pavilions were literally packed
with men, women and children, eager
for admission, and almost before sun
down the buildings, capable of accom-
modating 10000, were SO crowded that
the fire authorities positively refused
to admit any more.
Thousands of people from the east
poured into town Friday, and it is es-
timated that not less than $4,000 Wis.,
itors have already arrived, although
several trains are still delayed. The ar
engagements for the convention made by
General Secretary Baer, aided by the
local committees, are admirable, and
everyone is pleased.
Stunning parties through China
town are being organized, and are prov
ing source of peculiar attraction.
Friday seems to have almost touched
the high-water mark of religious fervor,
but it is predicted that by Sunday a
wave of even greater excitement will
sweep over the city. Withal, much
hard, earnest work is being done, and
the practical results of the convention
will be surprising when the full record
Is written.

Pittsburgh, Pa, July 1o.-The great
est gathering of labor leaders that even
assembled in this country during ma
,tional strike was held in this city Fri.
day night to devise means to assist the
miners in their contest for increased
wages. The conference was called sud
denly but the officials responding rep.
resented nearly every branch of or
ganized labor in the United States.
Those present We're:
Samuel Gompers. president Of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor; NJ. d. Ratchford,

Workers of America; NJ. NJ. Garland pres
ldent of the Amalgamated Association of

More Coal cont,scated.


More Coal Conflscated.
An unusual quantity of coal came in
from the Fairmont region of West Vir-
ginia over the Baltimore & Ohio road
and is crowded in the Glenwood yards.
Most of it will go to the lakes. The
mines on the Pennsylvania road are
running to their fullest capacity and
operators in need of coal are making
heavy purchases. One operator pur-
chased $50 carloads Thursday from the
Keystone Coal and Coke company. The
shortage of coal is severely felt by the
railroads. Wholesale confscations are
the rule on all lines shipping west.
Beading Brothers reported that the
railroad had taken eight loaded cars
shipped by them Thursday, but by
making vigorous protest, the firm got
three of them back.
The movement among the operators
to get conference with the miners
leaders has not yet assumed any def
mite form. Col. Rend, the Chicago
operator, and several others are work
ing hard to this end. The colonel be-
lieves the controversy can be nrbitrated
but the majority of operators will not
hear of the proposition.
At springville, Ill.
Springville, ILL.,, July 1o.-The strike
situation in this city is about the same,
with few additional features. All
of the 1000 men here are still idle and
the company men do not show any dis
position to return to work. If the lat
ter remain out long, the mines will start
to cave. There has been some talk here
of even the engineers and firemen quit
ting. They get reduction every time
the wages of the miners go down and
they are interested in the outcome of
the strike. The men in this district are
very much agitated over the Rutland
miners working. That is the only mine,
outside of few slopes, that is working
in northern Illinois, and as hot as the
weather is, there is talk of marching
over there to request the men to come
out. The miners in this district do not
take kindly to the reports of arbitra-
ton in the other states. They say here
they have nothing to arbitrate. They
claim that they will not make living
digging coal at present prices and have
simply quit the business until the OPP
orators decide to pay living wages for
their service.

STILL UNDECIDED.
President May Yet Send Currency
Message to Congress.

Washington, July 1o.-The main topic
of discussion before the cabinet at the
regular meeting Friday was the mes
sage on the subject Of currency COM
mission, which has been withheld for a
few days in Difference to the wishes of
many prominent republicans. After
considering all of the objections that
had been made against the presenta-
ton of the message at the present ses-
sion of congress the president and his
cabinet were still of the opinion that in
order to redeem the party promises the
subject OF currency reforms should be
treated in message recommending the
creation of a special non-partisan COM
mission, and unless there is another
change in the plans of the president he
will send the message to congress next
