NATIONAL FUND TO AID MINERS.
Organized Labor and General Public
Will Be Asked to Assist Strikers,


Will Be Asked to Assist Strikers.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July "a ma
tional defense fund, to which all or
ganized labor and the public in gen.
eral will be asked to contribute, Is
the latest proposition placed on foot
to help the striking anthracite coal
strikers, if they need assistance N
their struggle for higher wages and
a shorter work day. Harry White of
New York, secretary of the National
Garment Workers, and member Of
the Cancellation committee of the Ma
tional Civic Federation, had long
conference with President Mitchell,
during which the plan was approved
by the miners chief, and Mr.. White
will at once begin preparations to
carry out the plan. Mr.. Mitchell
wants it understood, however, that
the miners union will accept no aid
until their own resources are eA-
hausted.
The National Civic Federation.
which tried SO hard to prevent the
strike, has not exhausted all its
means in an effort to bring about
peace in the anthracite coal fields.
The investigation, which was started
soon after the miners laid down their
picks, is still in progress and it is
understood the federal government,
through the department of labor, is
assisting in this work.

Iowa Crop Conditions.

Des Moines. July Dry weather
I'D sunshine are now imperatively
ssssded for ripening and harvesting
small grain and securing the bounti-
full hay crop. Spring wheat in sec
tions where the acreage is largest has
been doing well, with moderate DAM
age by rust. Oats lodged badly In
the central valleys, but the state av-
erage is nearly UP to the normal, and
the output depends wholly upon sea-
sonable weather in the near future.

Trouble Feared at Denver.

Denver. July 9.-The situation al
the local Union Pacific shops is more
critical than at any time since the
strike was begun. A force Of Pinker.
ton men has been put in charge of
the shops. and the city has supplied
four policemen for protection. Since
one of the workmen was assaulted on
Sunday night the crowd that gathers
at night has been continually on the
increase. The strikers now assert
that they have all the experienced ma.
chinists out but three, and that all
OF the boilemakers. blacksmiths and
coppersmiths have stopped work.
The strikers continue to patrol the
grounds outside of the Pinkertou
lines.

back again in the evening. Finding
the night clerk on, but not on to me, I
asked him, giving my name, If I was

find out.

well-known clergyman of Germantown,
tells the following story:
while on a tour abroad last year I
was being shown around Dublin by a
resident of that city. 1 took occasion
to remark that the architecture of the
city could in no way compare with
that Of some Of our American cities.
The Irishman said nothing at the time,
but we soon came to large building.
which he informed me was the post
office. Pointing to three statutes in
front of the building I asked him who
they represented.
"They are the three disciples, Peter,
James and John," he replied.
But where are the other nine?"
asked.
Quick as a flash he replied:
"'Shure. they're inside, sortin' the

Capt. T. D. Kline has received from
his son, Mr.. William F. Kline, of New

ing the new stained glass window
which the artist has just completed
for the First Presbyterian Church of
Chicago. This window, of which the
subject is the Resurrection" is the
largest work of this kind in America.
1t was described several weeks ago in
the Morning News. The photographs
are on exhibition at Messrs. Theus

his chosen profession may be judged
from the critical article, Some Amer
lean Figure Painters" Kenyon Cox, in

Kline the writer says:
"A pupil of Low and LaFarge, win

has been lacking, thus far, for him
to show his hand in anything else
than a few sketches and projects, and
two or three easel-pictures. The best
of these is Her Tribute 1t is charm
ngly old fashioned and serenely unin-
f1uenced by the fads and f1urries of
decadent art. Its inspiration may de-
rive from the little Dutchman and
from Alfred Stevens, which is only to
say from the best painting there Is.
The elegance of spacing the precision
of execution, the reticence and sanity
of it all, are refreshing, yet it passed
almost unnoticed on it's first appear
ance. Such work does not speak loud,
but its voice is sure to be heard in
