The Victorian Era Exhibition, now
open in London, does not possess an
exhibit Of greater scientific interest
than that of the infant incubator, and.

merely as a sideshOw. this invention
has proved immensely attractive-in
fact, it is one Of the most paying con-

Ing with the general public in their l.
miratiOn for this new contrivance for
saving life. The necessity for such
thing is shown by the fact that where
as In 1856 the number of deaths regis
tered in Great Britain as being due to
premature birth amounted to 1890, the
figure rose for Inst year to 2,534. 1t Is
also well known that a large numb of
deaths which are attributed to various
diseases are due. indirectly, to prema
turc birth.
The two most important considern-
tons in saving the lives Of prematurely
born or very weakly infants are, Of

INDIANA MINERS.
President knight Thinks They
Will All Join in the Strike.

TERRE HAUTE Qnd.), July A.
President Knight of the United Mine
Workers for Indiana says he is con-
vinced that practically all the miners
in the State will join in the strike.
He thinks the block men will strike
from the fact that a meeting Saturday
were represented men from every part
CT the country. 1t will not be known
before Monday how many miners in
the State have not joined in the strike.
Those who were at work Saturday left
their tools in the mines when they quit
work in the evening. President Knight
says the present strike is fight
against starvation Zone miner in the
northern part of our field told me" :"
said Mr. Knight. that he had drawn
SS so for the past two months. On
this amount he was forced to try to
keep himself and his family from hun
ger? Does anybody think he could do
it?"
Mr.. Knight says the Columbus report
to the effect that $40, 900 men will be
involved in the strike is a gross ex-
ageration. Ee estimates that the to-
tai numebr of miners who will be idle
will be between 10000 and 125, 600
His figures are as follows: In Penn
sylvania, 22,000; Ohio, 25,000; Indiana
5000; West Virginia, 10000; Illinois,
35, 900; total, 10000.

rostrum. In the dome was suspended
the famous flag used in the Utah
Statehood celebration, which is the
largest flag in the world, being 125 feet
long and &c feet wide.
There were few Mormons in the au-
dience, which could easily be distin-
guished from the Endeavorers by the
lack of badge. Every visitor had
Dig bright badge, sometimes attached
to tiny flag. An occasional leader
carried a State banner, SO that the ef-
feet from the rostrum was particularly
pleasing to the eye.
The two hours services were inaug-
urated with a favorite Endeavorer
song, Sound the Battle Cry The
wonderful organ pealed forth the first
inspiring notes when the vast audience
OF thousands of young people took up
the song and sang as only Christian
Endeavorers can sing at their interna-
tlonal conventions.
The chief speaker was the Rev. Fran
els E. Clark, D. D., of Boston, Presi-
dent of the international organization.
His introduction by the presiding Off
Ger, j. B. Caldwell of Salt Lake, was
the occasion of a rousing Chautauqua
oOAACoO0y CdlIeo lOI
Mrs. Clark, and the modest little wo-
man who sat at the side of the great
leader of several millions of religious
enthusiasts, arose and bowed
DR.. Clark reminded his followers
that the subject of the afternoon was
doubiy appropriate inasmuch as it was
Lords Day and the Fourth of July He
urged work along the lines of Christian
cltlzenship, one of the great depart
ments of the organization as an outlet
OF the patriotic and religious speech of
Christian Endeavorers. The pilgrimage

he said. There is no dreaming what
this convention will do for the coun-
try"
Bishop D. w. Arnett, representative
of the African Church at Wilberforce,
o., was warmly applauded for patri-
otic speech. Other speakers included
the Rev. B. F. Clay, Rev. George F.
Pentecost of Yonkers, N. Y, formerly
of London, who spoke on behalf of
England.
Announcement of lost purses was
made from the platform, and numerous
unfortunates clamored for missing arti-
cles. The leader suggested there was
no law in Utah which prohibited
Christian Endeavorers from singing in
the streets, and the audience expressed
approval with loud applause.
After greeting was read from the
State Convention of Endeavorers at
Tacoma, Wash, now in session, Amer

pronounced by the Rev. DR.. Boynton
of Detroit, Mich.

COLUMBUS (Ohio), july 4-Te,a-
grams received by President Ratcbford
OF the United Mine Workers. - 49,. =,
dicate that the orders for a genera,
strike of the miners have been comnliad
with generally throughout the n,inin .
districts OF Ohio, Indiana. Illinois and
pennsylvania and in sections of West
virginia and Kentucky. It viii take sav-
eral days to determine with any dagraa
OF accuracy the number of men In
volved. President Ratchford rourblv
estimates the number at 200 OOO but
this is regarded as very liberal He is
pleased with the unanimity shown bv
the miners and says he has the greatest
faith in the successful outcome of the
strike He thinks the prospects are bet
ter than in 1894 when a general strike
was inaugurated. At that time the
scale of prices was being paid in manv
localities. notably West Virginia. where
a majority of the miners continued at
work and greatly weakened the strike
He has hopes that West Virginia
miners may now be brought into line, in
asmuch as they are receiving wages far
below their scale and their condition is
not any worse than that of miners in
other States. The coal production of
West Virginia has increased so RAPIDLY
in the last few years that the OUTPUT of
that State now exceeds that of Ohio.

COWBOYS HAVE THEIR FUN.
They Show the Endeavorers Some
thing of Life on the Plains.

SALT LAKE, July (On board Chi
cago Christian Endeavor train).-The
second section of the California bound
Chicagoans arrived here late last even
ing, being the first large delegation that
Illinois on Tuesday evening, reached
this city to-day The first section was
met at Colorado Springs, and is ex
pected some time tonight. The Chi
cago Endeavorers unpleasantly en-
countered the Utah cowboys at Pleas
ant Valley, a mountain station about
100 miles east of here. Considerable
excitement was caused by the unex-
pected meeting, particularly among the
feminine members of the party.
1t seems that a crowd of cowboys
had come down to the station to show
off in a friendly sort of way by shooting
through each others hats and flourish
ing their pistols in the direction of the
cars. The fun finally developed into a
class fight between two brawny
fellows in sombreros, and when a dagger
was drawn, some of the masculine En-
ceavorers sought to interfere while
the women frantically took refuge in
the Pullmans. just at the point when
it looked as if the inebriated cowboys
were to attack the coach the train
pulled out One cowboy, as a parting
salute, lassooed a colored porter, who
positively turned white with fright, but
released himself with the help of the
passengers The rest of the way the
porter stood by the barred back door
with the bar Of iron and blood thirsty
threats. The party arrived with their
characteristic yell and all sorts of
mountain trophies from a rattlesnake,
which was suspended by a college pro-
fessor from one of the coaches, to spec
linens of wild cactus. At numerous
points en- route they left the cars to
peer into miners huts or explore curl
Gus places along the track.
Immediately upon arrival the party
went in a body to the Knights of Pyth
las Hall, where they registered and re-
ceived their mail Most of the party
dined at the Knutsford Hotel, after
which a sightseeing trip was taken
about the city.
During the sojourn here the delega-
tion is occupying quarters in their spe-
cfal train, which has been conveniently
sidetracked near the station.
Most of the Chicagoans attended the
First Congregational Church this morn
ing, where the Rev. Mr.. Boynton of
Detroit preached. In the afternoon
they attended the services in the Nor
mon Tabernacle and heard the Mormon
services at the same place A trip
has been planned for Saltair, where they

ginia coal through Ohio, the Ohio min
ers endeavoring to stop this traffic. The
railroad companies promptly appealed
to the State for protection and almost
the entire Ohio National Guard was
placed in the field.
President Ratchford does not believe
there will be any repetition of these
troubles in this strike. Special efforts
are to be made to enlist the sympathy
of West Virginia miners. President
Ratchford is encoura ged to believe that
this may be accomplished by the fact
that the miners have signified their in
tention to strike in many places where
efforts to enlist their cooperation have
failed on previous occasions.
President Ratchford has received tele-
grams from a number of Pittsburg
operators asking permission to operate
their mines at scale prices These re-
quests are all emphatically refused, as
it would work an injustice not only to
other operators, but to the miners as
well.
The fact that there is a fair supply of
coal in stock and the demand for domes-
tic consumption is small, will have a
tendency to prolong the suspension. The
contracts for coal for Lake shipment will
cause the greatest trouble. The bulk Of
these contracts are held by Pittsburg
orerators. but the Ohio operators have
a fair share. The Ohio operators have
not yet held a conference to CONSIDER the
matter but are considerably Worrieo
While they say the strike is lll-umeo
and likely to fiZZle out, they VIII close
down their mines for a short time at
least until they can determine how gen.
eral the suspension is. A partial sus-
pension only in the Pittsburg district
would be ruinous to their business
should the Ohio miners refuse to work

WASHINGTON, July 4.-The outlook
for the week in the Senate is quite un-
certain. There is every probability
that the tariff bill will be passed but
whether early or later in the week
probably there is no means of ascer-
tanning. The various provisions for
stamp tax, for a beet sugar bounty
and for the suppression of trusts
threaten to develop considera BILE debate
and the prospect of general speeches
by Senators Bate, Mills, Chiffon, Allen
and others. Senator Allison has given
notice of an effort to secure night sess-
ions Monday or Tuesday. The present
indications are that there will be a
determined effort to force the Commit
tee on Finance to restore the sugar
bounty provisions and upon the sue
cess or failure of this effort probably
will largely depend the length of time
yet to be consumed in the Senate.
When the tariff bill comes over to
the House this week the programme is
to send it Immediately to conference.
The minority will make no opposition
to this if the Republicans will assure
them reasonable time" for debate
when the bill is reported back by the
conferrees. The Republican leaders
express their assent, though no deter
mination has yet been made of how
long reasonable time is. Mr.. Bal
ley thinks three or four days will be
sufficient. In view of the fact that
the bill may return TO the House any
day the order for sessions only on
Mondays and Thursdays will probably
be revoked Tomorrow or a receSs will
be taken from day to day until the
bill passes the Senate.
The Republican members of the Sem
ate Committee on Finance held a sess-
ion to-day and decided to offer no
more amendments to the tariff bill and
also not to reintroduce the beet sugar
amendment. 1t is said, however. that
the committee will make no united or
determined effort to prevent the ac-
ceptance of the amendment as offered
by Mr.. Allen, but that Republican
Senators will be left free to support
1t or not as they may see fit. The in
dications now are that a majority of
them will support the amendment.
knowing the committees action in
withdrawing it, 1t appears that the
bounty provision was authorized by
one of the Republican caucuses and
that many Republicans feel bound on
this account to stand by the provision
even though it is offered by the oppo-
sition. The Democrats. however. will
oppose the amendment determinedly
The situation is full of many possibili-
ties and the end cannot be predicted
until this question is settled.
