FIRST JOINT CONFERENCE.
The Miners and Operators Select
Committees and Adjourn.

1t was nearly IL o'clock yesterday morn
ing when the joint conference Of mine
workers and operators convened at the
German House, the delay being caused by
the grouping of the miners on one side of
the large hall and the operators on the
other side Both the miners and operators
occupied sections according to the States.
After quiet was restored the selection Of
a chairman was Endorsed and President
Mitchell Of the United Mine Workers,
moved that Walter S. Bogel. of Chicago.
be elected to preside. Mr.. Bogel was Sc
lected chairman amid the applause of his
friends. He was Immediately escorted to
the stage and took the gavel. He made
a brief speech thanking his friends and
saying he hoped he would be as popular
when the convention adjourned as he
seemed to be at the opening. He said the
spirit of fairness and conservatism should
prevail, as il will have much to do with
the work He further said the good feel
ing that has prevailed in past joint con-
ventions has done much to improve the
feeling between the miners and opera
tors. Inc convention then selected w.
c. Pearce, secretary of the miners, as sec
re AIRY of the convention and G. l.. Scroggs.
OF Chicago, assistant secretary.
President Mitchell, OF the miners made
a speech, in which he referred TO the Pitts
kept by both the miners and the operators,
and because OF this fact he said the OPP
orators should take the miners into their
confidence. President Mitchell further
said the interests Of all concerned could
be best conserved by cooperation. as they
are mutual.

DIR. DEwHURsTs RECEPTION.
A Chicago Paper Says He Made q
Good Impression.

Rev. Frederic E. Dewhurst preached his
tional Church, of Chicago, Sunday. The
Chicago Chronicle says of him:
'Dr. Frederick E. Dewhurst, the new
pastor of the University Congregational
Church, preached his initial sermon in the
floor of the edifice at Madison avenue and
Fifty-sixth street was filled by congre-
cation which welcomed the pastor with
appreciative attention.
'Sturdiness. dignity and reserve force
were the marked characteristics of the
minister as he stood behind his desk and
referred to his manuscript in delivering
his ministry here DR.. Dewhurst outlined
fundamentals. love of God and love of men.
declaring that basal things found in
elimination, not in origin, and emphasizing
the correlation Of these two fundamentals
most strongly.
1.-The literary style Of the wording of the
sermon was a subject of much congratu-
latory comment at it's close. The most
striking literary passage was DR.. Dew
hurstS comparing the four massive pillars
of the University Congregational Church
building to truth, Righteousness, hope and
love, and said that they were incomplete
without the overarching dome of love for
God. He expressed the hope that this CO.
relation would be accomplished by his new
flock.
DR. Dewhurst has just completed pas
torate of eight years at plymouth Church.
Indianapolis. He has become widely known
for advanced positions, pulpit ability and
suggested that the University Church work
along humanitarian lines, but after the SER
mon said he did not propose to try to make
1t an institutional church."

JERRY SHEA'S ARREST.
After Years of Employment He Re-
sorts to Petty Stealing.

Jerry Shea, aged fifty-five years, residing
at 24S Blackboard street, has fallen from
grace after twenty-seven years in the en-
ploy Of Kingan & Co., and was arrested
last evening by Detective Thornton on
the charge of petit larceny. For about a
year brass stopcocks, valves. etc., have
been missed from one of the store-rooms
Of Kingan's packing establishment. The
guilty party worked cautiously and it was
hard to catch him.
The detective department was notified
and Detective Thornton learned where
Shea had been selling brass at junk shop
on West Washington street. Last Fri
day Shea sold twenty-six pounds of the
brass receiving ten cents pound. He gave
his name and address to the junk dealer
differently each time he called. The detec-
tiyes carried the brass away and yesterday
morning Shea again called with more
brass He was told that he would have
to take il away as the detectives were look
ing for him. He hurried from the place
but was captured later. He claims that
he did not steal the brass but bought 1t
from boys and then sold it TO the junk
dealer He said he did not have brass to
sell when he called at the junk shop yes
terday, but had basket containing sew
eral empty bottles. 1t is said that the
Kingan officials are not DESTROYS of pros
ecuting the old man but that they are de-
termined the petty stealing shall come to
an end
