The MINERS CONVENTION.
President Mitchell Opposed to a
General Walk 0ut---Appealed
for Aid for Strikers.

Indianapolis, Ind, July T.-If the
voice and influence of President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers,
shall prevail with the members of his
organization there will be no general
strike of the organization. In his
speech in the convention this afternoon
Mr.. Mitchell advised strongly against
strike and urged that the bitumi-
nous miners continue at work and that
system of assessment upon the
members of the order, which he out
lined, be carried into effect as the best
means of afording aid and support to
the striking anthracite miners in the
east.
His recommendation, if it had been
adopted by the convention this after
non, would have settled the entire
question for which the convention was
called, and an immediate adjourn
ment would have followed.
A motion to adopt them provoked a
long debate, in which the general SEN
timent was against the ordering of
the strike. The men from the anthra-
cite regions finally asked that they
be allowed to hold a caucus to deter
mine upon an expression of opinion
as to what they thought the conven-
tion should do, and asked an adjourn
ment pending the caucus. This was
granted. In the convention three
speeches were made by members of the
anthracite districts, asking that the
soft coal men walk out, and twice as
many were made by the anthracite
men arging the soft coal men to con-
Time AT work.

Poisoning the System.

It is through the bowels that the body is
cleansed of Impurities. Constipation keeps
these poisons in the system, causing head
ache, dulness and melancholia at first, then
unsightly eruptions and finally serious lii
ness unless a remedy is applied. De"itt's
Little Early Risers prevent this trouble by
stimulating the liver and promote easy,
healthy action of the bowels. These little
pills do not act violently but by strength
ening the bowels enable them to perform
their own work. Never gripe or distress.

Whitney as a Prophet.

A story is going the rounds about
William G.. Whitney and one Of his
negro hostlers, says the New York
Times. Mr.. Whitney had noticed
that each time he visited his stable
this man watched every move he made,
and, upon one pretext or another,
managed to keep near to him from
the moment he entered the stable till
he left it. The fnancier was greatly
puzzled by the conduct of the negro,
and one day he called him aside.
.sPeter,' . he said, "why do you fol-
low me around and watch me so close
ly every time I enter the stable? You
must have some good reason for your
actions. What is it?''
aHas gotter .'splain, sah?''
"I,s pow'ful 'fraid dat it IL spoil
