INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 3.-rhe national
executive committee of the United Mine
Workers met behind closed doors this
morning and remained in session until $3.50
p. m. The business transacted was for the
greater part routine matters. The matter
of the special levy Of 81 n week on each
member of the organization to create
strike fund for use in the coming idleness
was not reached until late in the day.
1t was then discussed, but informally, and
no action was taken.
There is an intimation that pressure has
been eNorted on some Of the board members
to cut the proposed assessment in two.
There is little likelihood that this will be
done. Secretary-Trcasurer w. =. Wilson
is especially determined that the funds
shall be al least S2jOO,o0J and the other
national officers and a majority Of the
board members are of his opinion that
this sum will not be found too large.
Prior to the meeting President Mitchell
said nothing but routine matters were to
be considered and he had nothing 10 say.
According to the figures at the head
quarters of the mine workers "a general
strike April would bring out of the mines
500 eco men, If the nonunion miners of West
Virginia, numbering 10000, could be in
duced to strike with the union men of the
other districts.
The last of the operators and miners left
for their homes today, leaving only the
members of tho natiouul executive board
of the mine workers here.
President Mitchell said this afternoon the
national executive board would finish its
work probably this afternoon and adjourn.
He declined to state what matters are being
considered Mr.. Mitchell will leave for the
east about February 10 to meet the OPP
orators and miners Of the anthracite region
in conference February Is. The place of
this meeting will not be given any more
publicity than possible.

ators at indianapolis and made the follow
ing statement regarding the coal mining
situation in Illinois: The joint agreement
between operators and miners in Illinois

were that conditions OF trade did not jus
tify an Increase Advances In wages to
labor in the mining districts of Illinois
since 1898 have been over 1W per cent,
while there has been but one reduction in
that time. and that was only 5lA per cent.
The miners now demand l2la per cent in
crease. 1t is now IN Ia the miners to de-
termine whether they will work after April

The South Carolina Institute for
blind is located at Cedar Springs,
Spartanburg County miles south
OF Spartanburg court house, and one
mile Of Cedar Springs station, on the
Spartanburg and Columbia Railroad,
and occupies a healthful and pleas
ant site.
This institution was established
at it's present location, Cedar Springs,
Spartanburg County, S. c., by Rev.
Newton Pinckney Walker, in 1S49
On the 22nd of January that year,
Mr.. Walker admitted a class of five
deaf children into his school for
speaking and hearing children. By
the end of the year three additional;
pupils had Joined this class and Mr..
Walker decided to devote his entire
time to the education of the deaf.
In April, 1855, department for
the blind was added, with Professor
James S. Henderson, graduate Of
the Tennessee School for the Blind,
as principal teacher.
In 1857 the school was changed
from an individual enterprise to a
state institution, and the legislature
made liberal appropriation for tho
erection of suitable buildings.
HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL.
The death of the principal, Rev.
N. P. Walker, occurred November Is,
1861. In the annual report of the
board of commissioners to the legisla-
