WEST VIRGINIA MINERS



tar Situation In the SiAts-
PITTSBURGH. Pa, July 6-In West
Virginia the miners have been slow in
responding to the strike order. A dis
patch tonight says that a general strike
in the state IL not probable. The men
are not organized. and they are inclined
TO regard the strike elsewhere as favor
able to their chances for securing plenty
OF work at good prices while II Ia pend
ing. Great pressure Is being brought
10 bear upon them by the United Mine
Workers TO join the strike, but SO far
without success.
The impression among both operators
and miners In this state Is that West
Virginia will be able 10 supply the de-
mands for coal In the event OF a pro-
longed strike, and that the operators
will be justified to offer the miners In
ducements TO remain at work, al they
did in 1894.
Chief Mine Inspector Paul says that
he does not look for much response to
the order. He says: III the West Vlr-
ginla miners remain at work during the
strike IN other states new markets Will
open up for West Virginia coal. which
West Virginia operators can hold after
the termination OF the strike. During
the strike OF 1894 the operators were
pushed TO supply the demand for coal.
and were able 10 give the miners bo-
muses. TO remain at work. This argu-
ment has had great effect with the
miners. and the United Mine Workers
may have difficulty In persuading them
to Join the strike. This applies espe-
ciaily 10 the Fairmont. Kanawha and
New River regionA"

unless they can ultimately be brought
out. This. p r. Dolan confidently
claims can be done. The operators, on
the other hand, are In nowise discon-
certed, and assert that the strike can
not succeed.
The first break In the operators ranks
was made this afternoon by ]. w. Steer,
OF the O. /. c. mine at Rossville. The
diggers refused to work and the mine
was closed down, but notice WIS post
ed that after to-day the 69-cent rate
would be paid. II Is not likely that the
officials will allow the men TO work until
a majority OF the operators have agreed
to the mlnera' demands.

GRANTS A NEW TRIAL,
Court of Appeals on County Bond

Court of Appeals on ii County Bond
Case.
The United States circuit court Of
appeals has reversed the Judgment of
the United States circuit court for the
district of Colorado and granted a new
trial in the case of E. H. Rollins &
Sons, a New Hampshire corporation,
against the board of county commits
sloners of Gunnison county, Colorado,
in which the lower court directed
verdict for the defendant. The action
was founded on coupons attached to
ten county bonds each for 1,000 Judge
Thayer wrote the opinion.
The question Of chief Importance dis
cussed in the opinion arose upon the
plaintiffs objection to the admission Of
the financial statements and the record
OF the proceedings of the county board.
Judge Iha4ser says in his opinion:
We are constrained to hold that the
financial Statements were not admis-
sible ina evidence against an innocent
purchaser for value, before maturity,

citals as those contained in the bonds

Importance of building up the inter-
mediate department.
The event Of the evening was the adj
dress of Rev. DR.. Andrew B. Medium,
of the. Central Presbyterian church.
upon 1.-THE Value of High Ideals in
Sunday School Work
What is an ideal?'' inquired DR..
Medium. "An ideal is just a concep-
ton or standard toward which we
strive and by which we measure the
character Of our work. Before we can
do anything well we must recognize
that it is worth doing well. The best
work In any department Is always IN
the direction Of some standard Of ex-
cellence, some ideal. The, value of an
ideal in the Sunday school may be seen
by what takes place where there Is no
ideal'
DR.. Medium instanced examples of
unsympathetic and irritable teachers
who failed to gain the affection of the
children. Children could be won only
by love and kindness Teachers who
deemed their work drudgery could
not possibly do 1t well.
IF you find Sunday school work
task" said Dr. Meldrum, you must do
your knees and ask God to give you
realizing sense Of the high value Of the
work to be done, or else quit teaching"
I Dr. Meldruun likened the work of a
Sunday school teacher to that of
gardener. The gardener sowed the
seed, nourished 1t and nurtured the
plant. The little seed was possibility.
The little child was nothing more.
1.-THE child Is innocent" said DR.. Mel
drum. "but innocence is not character
It is the province Of the teacher to
stamp character upon this impression
able innocence. Christ was the ideal
teacher, and 1t was His ideal that made
Him 30. He had the vision. He saw
that every man was possibility So
every childas possibility-for good or
bad. ThA1k what a great mission
awaits nm g And yet we can yawn
over suchowork and say 1t is a drudg-
cry. We need the ideal to lift us from
the realm OF drudgery, to glorify the
work. The ideal will remove all selfish
ness. Selfshness will kill the ideal or
the ideal will kill selfishness. The ideal
aeontains within itself the promise and
assurance of reward
y The committee on resolutions SUBJ
n1itted the following, which were
adopted:
/ Z. Resolved. That we express our ap-
probation OF the careful and conscien-
etious efforts Of those whose labors
nave contributed so successfully toward
making the Third Annual Primary
Sunday School Institute a profit and
inspiration to all present; to the press
: for the use of their columns; to the
First Baptist church for the generous
hospitality extended and thoughtful
attention given us; and especially to
those who have come from a distance.
90 we feel indebted; to Mrs. Evans for
her comprehensive and lucid exposition
OF the lesson; to Mr.. Cork for his strong
plea for the intermediate department
and to Rev. Dr. Medium for his vigor-
Gus and helpful address.
F.. Resolved, That we express to Mrs.
Hobart our grateful appreciation of her
acceptance Of the office Of state primary
sazper1ntendents Of the Sunday school
associataan, and that we pledge her the
sustaining encouragement of our
loyal support in her work.
The institute then adjourned after
deciding to hold the next annual meet
ing in MINNEAPOLIS
