As to fruit, the indications at present are
that we'll have more apples and pears than
we'll know what to do with, and plums,
grapes, and all kinds of berries never looked

Leading surgeons and manufacturers of arti

of the convention will be the amelioration of
this class of unfortunates. and q special pro-
gramme, containing subjects of interest to
them, will be presented for discussion. One
very important purpose of the convention is
to bring into close relationship the surgeons
and the makers of artificial limbs, and it is
believed that conferences between the Grip
pied, the surgeons and the manufacturers Of
limbs will result in great improvements
which will tend to the advantage of the uu-
fortunate. 1t is estimated that fully $4,000
cripples will be In attendance during the

SENATOR HANNA,s VIEWS.
Strikers Choose an Unfortunate Time tC
Make Their Demand.

Make Their Demand.
NEW YORK, July Ga Herald dis
patch from Washington says:
Senator Hanna, in speaking of the
coal miners strike, said:
"Owing to the existing conditions of
business. no one can be expected to raise
wages for the present, anywhere in any
line of business, and therefore the strik-
ers have chosen very unfortunate time
to make their demands, whether the
latter be reasonable or not. With bet
ter times, greater confidence and an in
creased demand for the product of the
mines, it ought to be possible to give la
borers of all kinds a better return for
their labor. That is what we mean by
prosperity an improved condition of
business. When money is freer, opera
tions are carried on upon a safe, sound
and profitable basis. and the humblest
laborer reaps the benefit of the good
times in proportion to the value of his
labor.
"The hoped-for good times are coming,
believe, before long, but they will not
come suddenly, but gradually, and when
business does improve, employers of
labor can listen to the grievances of the
employed. 1 do not see that they can
be expected to do so before. 1t is to be
hoped that the men will agree to submit
the matter to arbitration and let their
troubles rest for the present in reason
able manner. Acts of violence prompt
ed by thoughtless passion can never ac-
complish anything good.
"Of the effect of the strike on Ohio
politics, I am not prepared to say any
thing. Business disturbances always
affect the current issues one way or an
other, and Misunderstanding frequent
ly arise on account of them. 1 have no
apprehension personally on account of
the strike, however"
