All Pittsburg Miners Obstinate

Pittsburg. Pa, July 3.-The coal min
ers of the Pittsburg district in delegate
convention here today decided unani-
mously to comply with the order Of the
national executive board to strike, and
all Of the union miners in the district
will lay down their tools tomorrow
morning and enter upon a struggle for
better wages which promises to be one
of the longest and most bitterly con-
tested fights ever known in the labor
world. The delegates to the conven-
tlon left for their homes full of the
strike sentiment, each man promising
a complete suspension of work in the
mines represented. The miners off,
cials have completed arrangements for
a series Of mass meetings to be held
throughout the entire district and it is
believed that the effect Of these meet
ngs will be to bring out every digger
in the district, those who are under
ironclad agreements, as Well as the
others.

minister, tomorrow a general and the day
after minister for foreign affairs. The
same is with us today
The visit of Prince Hohenlohe and
Baron Bulow simultaneously to Prince
Bismarck is taken as an Indication of
another reconciliation, and the whole of
the Bismarck press is writing on the sub
ject in tone of satisfaction. Prince Bis
marcks health is good and he has de-
clined to follow the advice of his physi-
clan to take the waters of Gastein.

miral Won TierpitZ, the new secretary of

Miss Haguewood is able to cut and

to write slowly on the tablets which

sight and hearing totally. She lived in
q world without sound and practically
never having heard the human voice
she was unable to speak, notwithstand-
Ing that the muscles and nerves used
In articulating were in nowise injured.
But Linnie's parents, unlike those of
Miss Kellar, were not rich, and were
unable to engage special teachers for
her. Indeed, they did not know that
their child could be rescued from the
awful solitude in which she lived until
she was nearly IA years old.
Until she was IA years old Miss
Haguewood was cared for like an in
FAINT. She was unable to walk and
could not communicate single thought
to any human being. At IA she was
placed in an asylum for the blind al
vinton, Iowa, and there Miss Dora
Donald, one of the teachers, became
deeply interested in the girl. A sub
scription was opened for the purpose of
educating Linnie, the Iowa Legislature
appropriated $500, and Miss Donald at
once devoted all her time to her. For
three years she had instructed the help

Deaf and Dumb Institution at Sioux
