BENEFIT CONCERT.
Entertainment for Purpose of Raising
Funds for Strikers

Chase's New Grand Theater was taxed to
its capacity Sunday evening by an audience
composed Of members of every local labor
craft, the occasion being a grand concert
for the benefit of the striking miners of the
anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania,
under the auspices of the local Central La
Dor Union The entrance of the playhouse
was the scene of immense assemblage
Of people long before the hour of opening
the theater arrived. When the doors were
finally thrown open the multitude Of sym
pathizers surged into the playhouse, and at
the rise of the curtain but few seats
manned vacant
The concert was opened by three selec-
tons by Haley's Band, under the personal
direction of Prof. VIII Haley. The band
was compelled TO respond to several en-
cores.
The selections by the band were followed
by two soprano solos-"The Owl and the
Moon and In Dreamland-by Miss Sophie
Burnham. The next feature a musical
comedy sketch, "A Disappointed Romeo"
by Banks and Winona Winter, which was
well received. George Woman contributed
a short dialect talk, with songs and recita-
TONS which were followed by the rendition
of several songs by the Miners Glee Club,
from Wilkesbarre, Pa. The members of the
club were in miners attire and had small
torch attached to the cap. They received
several times.
At the conclusion of the songs by the glee
club Mr. Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, was intro
duced to the audience by Mr.. A. C. Sprague,
chairman Of the committee in charge of the
affair. Mr.. Gompers announced that Mr..
John Mitchell, president Of the United Mine
Workers could not be present, as had been
previously announced, owing to circum-
stances beyond that officials control.
Mr. Gompers then reviewed the coal strike
in detail, and described the conditions of
the results of the struggle, the speaker
ayerred that the miners have not only real
lied that they have a duty to perform, but
that they have rights which must be re-
spected and maintained Mr.. Gompers gave
a brief talk on the conference between the
officiaIs concerned in the strike at the
White House about ten days ago, declaring
that President Roosevelt was openly in
suited by the operators for having the
temerity to invite President Michel to be
present The speaker said he thought 1t
was the purpose of the operators to con-
miners would be compelled to return to
work or die Of hunger. Commenting on
this. he said that it is not a good thing to
try to starve men Into submission.
President Gompers pointed out the de-
mands of the strikers, and added that
should they be conceded the increase of pay
would amount to but little with the opera
tors. He said that the strikers did not
want to mine $500 to 1900 pounds of coal
&c a ton for the reason that they had been
Taught that 2 $40 pounds constituted a ton.
MT Gompers concluded his address by i'm
ploring those present to respond TO the fuil-
est possible extent of their means to the
anneaI that has; been sent out by the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor in behalf of the
striking miners

HELD DAILY SESSIONS.
Six Hundred Delegates Attended Bible
Students Convention.

The Bible students convention, held in
this city last week and attended by coo dele
gates from tWenty-siX states, presented
throughout an unusually interesting pro-
gram. One of the later addresses of the
convention, in the form of a Bible reading
was given by Mr.. Z. II. Thomson of this
city. Mr. A. E. Sarvis followed Mr.. Thorn
son in very suggestive talk on The Mis-
takes of Christians urging all to be grid
ed with the truth, not with piece of the
truth here and another piece there, but
the whole truth, revealed in the inspired
word.
On the closing of the convention, the
morning session was opened by the Gus
tomary praise and testimony service, after
which there followed a discourse on spe
cial Scripture topics by Mr.. NJ. T. Lewis of
Troy, N. Y.
Mr.. C. A. Owen of Indianapolis spoke on
The Atonement Between God and Man."
In the afternoon Mr.. Charles T. Russell,
editor of lions Watch Tower, conducted a
question meeting, which was Of intense in
terest, the questions being so numerous
that only comparative few could be taken
up in the limited time at the disposal of the
leader. The clear elucidation of all scrip
tural points propounded caused the audi
ence to insist that Mr.. Russell should con-
tinue beyond his time. He, however, de-
clined to trespass upon the next speaker;
and gave place to Mr.. Alex. NJ Graham
of Boston, who spoke on the text, Watch
you, stand fast in the faith, quit you like
men, be strong, let all your deeds be done
in love-
A uniquely interesting feature Of the day
was the colporteurs meeting, held in an
other hail. at which an object lesson in col
porteuring was presented by having num-
Der of the most successful give actual
demonstration of their methods in calling
with literature from house to house.
The evening session, which was the last,
was introduced by a praise service, fol-
lowed by inspiriting closing remarks by
Charles T. Russell, after which a reception
was rendered to the leaders and colpor-
teurs, In which all attendants on the con-
vention enthusiastically joined in general
farewell adieus.

Gen. Sternberg's Address.

General Sternberg then took up the ques-
ton of fuel Two methods, he said, were be-
ing pursued in other large cities to supply
the poor with fuel One was to purchase
coal in quantities at low a price as pos
sible and then sell it in small quantities to
the consumer at cost; the other was to
make use of the odd supplies of fuel avail
able to the public, such as the waste timber
of town wood lots. drftwood and the boxes
and broken barrels found in city dumps. In
New York city the first method has been
undertaken directly by the coal companies
under an arrangement with local dealers.
Coal is supplied on the understanding that
it will be sold at Is cents a pail. Fifteen
hundred tons have already been disposed OF
in this manner. The work of collecting and
disposing of the fuel in the shape Of wood
found on the city dumps had already begun
by the charity organization also. This lat
ter undertaking is carried on under the d.
rection of the street cleaning department,
and Dr. Doty, the health officer of the port
of New York, has arranged to have drift
wood collected off the quarantine station.
In Boston there is a cooperation between
the organized charities and committee or
ten appointed by Mayor Collins as a result
OF a mass meeting. Over $4,000 has al
ready been raised fuel fund in that city
and the work will be carried on by the COM
mittee, which will buy fuel and sell 1t at
ent Boston parks and chopped into firewood
and given away
In Chicago soft coal is the almost uni
versal fuel of the poor, and there seems to
be no lack in the supply at $275 a ton.
Philadelphia, however, depends for fuel a.
most entirely on anthracite, and the board
of city trusts has money on hand to pur-
chase something like 1900 tons. Besides
this there are number of other charitable
institutions which annually provide fuel
funds.
General Sternberg said he was not will
ing that other cities should outstrip Wash
ington in the matter Of dealing with what
was undoubtedly to be a most serious stu
alton before the winter was over. He called
on Treasurer Wilkins to ascertain the state
of the treasury of the association. Mr. Will
kins reported that there was little less
than $1C0 on hand, left over from last years
fuel fund. Gen Sternberg remarked that
this left two questions to be considered:
first, the question of getting funds, and
then the apparently more difficult one of
