The State Christian EndaaI or Union
has accepted the invitation of the
Wilmington Christian Endeavor Union
to hold the next convention in Viii

Endeavor workers at the convention in
Wilmington in 1895 was very Crafty

proval and general interest manifested
in our annual conventions; and it ia
understood that the convention of '97
will be better than any previous con-
lention.

MestinG of the Constitutional Convention
Committee on Education.
The Constitutional Convention COM
mittee on education held meeting
at Dover Friday. The principal work
seems to be to equalize the conditions
of the two races in proportion to the
population. which is nearly five whites
to one colored. At present nearly half
of the support Of the schools for whites
comes from the State school fund of
1916, 900. while the colored schools are
dependent upon the biennial appropria-
tion of the General Assembly, which in
1896 was $4,000 a year. 1t was less
before. The city of Wilmington has
given equal opportunities to the races
since 1869. the city paying nearly the
cost of its schools. 1t is only recently
that about one-siyth Of the income
from tine school fund, about SIT, 600,
has been donated TO Wilmington. The
necessity for equalizing these appro-
priations is made apparent by the

force passed the prince in single file.
Arriving in front of the prince, the
colonial soldiers saluted singly. then

Pittsburg, Pa, July 3.-The largest
convention of coal miners ever held in
this district began here at 10 o'clock
this morning, TO take action on the
strike circulars sent out by the general
officers a few days ago. Nothing had
been done when the convention ad-
journed for lunch, but President Dolan
stated that the committee on resolu-
tons had prepared a report favoring a
strike, and this would be presented this
afternoon. The feeling among the dele
gates, he said. was strongly in favor of
a strike, and the resolution would prob
ably be adopted.
In case a strike among the coal min
ers in the Pittsburg district is declared
by the convention today, $1,000 miners
will be concerned in the result. MANY
of these, however, have not been work
ing regularly for some time. In the
Clearfield district, $4,000 miners are
employed when the mines are running,
and District President Dclan says the
whole district viii also go out. The
number of men in other states who are
concerned in the present strike, so far
as can be estimated are as follows:
Ohio, $4,000: Illinois, 10000; Indiana, 3d.
900, and in West irginia about $4,000
men.
The miners employed in the vicinity
of Greensburg will not join the strike,
but on the contrary are prepared for a
rush of work. The Greensburg, Madi-
son, Hempfield and Carbon Coal COM
panieS employ about 1900, who have
never been identified with the miners
union, and have always been paid the
highest scale of wages. The inaugura-
ton of the general strike means steady
work fer them. During the general
strike of two years ago, the miners and
operators of Greensburg literally coined
money.
Shortly after the adjournment foT
lunch. District President Dolan re-
ceived the following telegram from
President Ratchford:
Columbus, O., July 3.-We are out
for living wages. The issue must be
met squarely and determinedly, and
success will attend the greatest move
ment the country has ever seem
The resolution TO strike was unani-
mously adopted by the miners conven-
ton this afternoon. and a general sus-
pension will be ordered at once.

A NEW SENSATION.
It Was Provided For Royalty by
Chamberlain.

London, July S.-The secretary of
state for the colonies. Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlain, provided royalty with a new
sensation on Wednesday, Wishing TO
have an overwhelming social show, Mr..
Chamberlain took the late Sir Julian
Goldschmidt's big house in Piccadilly.
and invited 1000 guests to a banquet
and reception following it. all of whom
apparently accepted. resulting in the
greatest crush London has expert
enced. About 500 or 900 Carriages
crowded into the thoroughfare. caus-
ing a jam which the police were un-
able TO control. The Prince and Prin-
cess of Wales drove down ST. James
street, but finding the way blocked, the
Prince of Wales ordered his coachrnan
TO return home.
Inside the house the crush was
terrible. Mr.. and Mrs. Chamberlain
vainly tried TO edge their way TO the
foot OF the stairs in order to receive
the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Hundreds were unable to get in at ali.
and the Duke and Duchess of Yor,,
were Obliged 70 make their exit by
way of the kitchen and the rear stems.
The fiasco is the talk OF the town. and
many bitter remarks are circulating in
society.
The old Tories are delighted at what
they call Mr.. Chamberlain's bad
breeding and want OF taste. etc, and
predictions are made that the Prince
and Princess of Wales will never again
accept their invitations

Denver, Colo. July "A cold wave
is sweeping over Colorado. Tomorrow
will be the coolest day in July in the
history of the state unless there is a
sudden change in the weather. The
Endeavorers now on their way through
the state have been treated to the sight
of a binding snowstorm in midsummer.
The trains through Leadville this
morning stopped to permit the tourists
to SNOWFALL.
Eighteen inches Of wet snow fell at
Telluride and it is still falling. The
canyons are chol1ed and in some places
travel is impossible.
From all parts of the San Juan re-
gion comes the same story. Trees are
broken by the tremendous weight OF
snow. AT the Nellie mine the snow
had to be shOveled from the bunk
house to prevent a collapse. There is
two inches of snow at Gunnison.
The Endeavor trains crossing Mar
shall Pass halted to allow the passen-
gers TO SNOWFALL each other.
At Ouray a big celebration was
planned for tomorrow. but the entire
landscape is coated with snow, which
is still falling. The weather is very
cold. Snow is also falling at Aspen and
all through the main range of the
Rocky mountains.
In Denver the drop in temperature
commenced at o'clock. the change
coming in the form of frigid blasts
from the north. Light overcOats are
word of a sudden drop. At Central

LIKE A HOLIDAY.
Ten Thousand People Greet Bryan
at Stockton.

Stockton, Cal, July 3.-It looked like
q holiday in Stockton today. Early in
the forenoon crowds began to arrive
from the country by steamer and train,
and until midday the streets in the
business part of town were thronged
with people. Although the streets and
other business places were open, the
holiday spirit was generally manifest,
and William j. Bryan was treated TO
an ovation. The special train bearing
the Bryan party was several hours late,
but so great was the desire TO hear the
first speech in California on the trip
that a great throng gathered at the
railroad depot and escorted the Wis
itor through the main streets to the
Plaza, which was completely filled.
The surrounding buildings were packed
with people. At 3 low estimate the
crowd numbered 10000. Bryan's APP
pearance on the platform was greeted
with tremendous enthusiasm. E D.

INDUSTRIAL sERvITUDE.
Good Day on Which to Throw Of
the Chains.

Columbus, O., July 3.-President
Ratchford, of the United Mine Work
ers of America, says of the miners
strike, on July I:
The exact date of the national sus-
pension has been matter of sDecuia-
ton with newspapers of the country
for weeks past. We are very thankful
for the friendly mention which this
movement has received from every
quarter. With the press and the pub
lie, il is not a question OF should or
should not take place, but rather a
question when shall the movement for
living wages be inaugurated? hide
pendence day was chosen as a day well
betting our demand. 1t is the ami
versary of our political independence;
let ii also mark the beginning of an
era of industrial freedom, and as our
revolutionary fathers freed themselves
from foreign rule, let the miners of the
country free themselves from the dOmI-
nation Of their oppresscrs, and wreSt
from their limbs the letters and
shackles CT slavery. Independence day
cannot be celebrated by American
slaves in a more patriotic manner than
to make proclamation to the world tina;
they shall no longer submit to indus
trial servitude. Our present suspension
is not of our choice; il is forced upon
US by continuous reductions in wages
until the point is reached where living
by our industry is no longer possible
Our miners everywhere throughout the
country are ready for it as a last re-
sort, and there is no doubt that it viii
be the greatest movement of its Kind
this country has ever seen. Reports
from every mining section indicate the
temper and determination of the min
ers, and shows conclusively that his
movement must continue until living
wages are established.
The convention held in Pittsburg to-
day will be unanimous in their support.
Those miners who have been forced by
employers of that district to sign IRON
clad contracts will throw them up as
they should do and join the suspension.
Il am net fearful that the miners
viii in any case violate law or order.
This will be a peaceful contest; vio-
lence must not enter into it in any de-
gree. Public opinion is with US; tele-
grams and letters from men in all
walks of life are pouring in endorsing
our actions. The great body of the
people is on our side and we mean to
retain their support by strict adher-
