WAITING FOR
BIG MEETING
Miners and Operators Look
to National Convention.
Anthracite Delegates Will
Fight Hard for Total Sus
pension of Mining in the
United States.
Now that the call has boon issued for
a national convention of the United
Mine Workers of America on July 17.
nothing remains for the anthracite
minors to do during the month that
must elapse before it convenes hut to
maintain the solidity of their ranks and
continue their efforts along peaceable
lines, to cripplo the operators as far as
possible, by inducing every man they
can reach to remain away from the
collieries.
The operators, It is believed, will
await will equal patience tho result of
tbe Indianapolis meeting. Stories to
the effect that they proposed to make an
effort to resume the mining of coal
about July 1 have been contradicted
by persons in close touch with the
operators.
Some capital has been made of the
announcement that the coal companies
are receiving applications for reinstate
ment from some oT their old men. This
is not denied, but as an operator's agent
admitted, it is not at all unreasonable
that out of an army of 147,000 men
there should bo some who would be
glad to desert if they could do so with
out being found out. All tbe applica
tions thus far received he acknowledged
would not bo sufficient to begin to run
the smallest colliery in tho three dis
tricts.
The locals throughout tho region are
preparing to elect their delegates to the
national convention at Indianapolis.
Every 100 men, or majuy fraction there
of, arc entitled to one delegate. It Is
presumed that 1,400 delegates will take
part in the great convention. Many
locals, however, will not send delegates,
on account of the expense, but all will
bo represented either in person or by
proxy, and the anthracite delegates will
light hard for a general suspension of
mining.
The striking miners agree that calling
out the bituminous regions is their last
card. This is the final aggressive resort
in their hands. Just whether the or
ganized districts of the bituminous re
gions will strike, or If the miners will
gain a point by a general suspension, is
the point about which tho public is now
speculating.
DEMANDS GRANTED AT SANDY RUN.
What is regarded by the miners as a
significant move on the part of tho
operators was the granting this week
to the engineers, Bremen and pumpmen
of tho eight-hour day and all other de
mands hy M. S. Kemmorer & Co., at
Sandy Run. The agreement, however,
is only conditional and if the miners
lose in the present struggle the men at
the close of the strike will ho compelled
to return to the ton-hour schedule.
District President Duffy has approved
of the agreement.
It is rumored that the Upper Lehigh
Independence Day at Niagara Falls.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad announces
the low faro of 88.55 from Freeland
for the round trip. Tickets on sale July
3 and 4, limited for return to July 0, and

Toilet Bnjrs.
A sot of bags for the toilet compris
ing one each for soiled linen, for comb
and brush, for combings, the latter
stiffened, may be very effectively made
of colored linen or denim, with a bold
design cut out of satin, jean, drill or
any smooth surface washing material
In white and appliqued on with a small
white washing cord sewed with stitch
es the color of the ground material. A
larger cord Is used for the stems. The
stitches in this are not seen. It is
quite easy to get a copy of some con
ventional scroll design suitable for this
work or, indeed, to make one from a
wall paper pattern. By tracing tlic dis
tinct portions and cutting them out of
paper the pattern is obtained for cut
ting the material. Small table covers
and sofa pillows for the bedroom are
very pretty worked this way in linen.
Utility llovch.
Boxes for holding odds and ends
utility boxes they are called—are pen
tagonal in shape and stand about two
feet high. They are lined with art
ticking, and inside are several pockets,
besides plenty of room in tho center.
The art ticking covers the outside of
the box, and there is a deep valance.
The cover is hinged and provided with
a fancy metal handle to lift it with.
Shirt waist boxes are made in the same
way and of the same material, but are
oblong in shape. These boxes are In
tended for rooms where spuce Is at a
premium and serve us seats as well as
boxes.
A Window Sill Garden.
If the baby is fond of flowers and
would like to make things grow, let
him start a garden in a bowl or glass
of water. Put some seeds of sweet
peas into tbe bowl or glass with just
enough water to cover them. Then
stand it in a sunny window, and in a
few days the tiny seeds will be throw
ing out green sprouts. The baby must
not expect them to grow tall and flow
er, but the mere sprouting is a wonder
ful feat for seeds planted in water and
very interesting to watch.
A Sand Table Far Little Children..
For the Indoor amusement of the
little folks get a sand table, sueli as is
used in the kindergarten. It is (5 feet
long. 30 inches wide and 24 inches high.
The tray, which is 4 inches deep, is

And See If Your Kidneys
Are Diseased.
A very simpio way to determine
whether your kidneys or bladder are
diseusod is to put some of your urine in
a glass tumbler and let in stand 21 hours;
if it has a sediment or a cloudy, ropy or
stringy appearances, if it is pale or dis
colored, you do not need a physician to
tell you that you are in a dangerous con
dition. Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy speedily cures such serious
symptoms as pain In back, inability to
hold urine, a burning scalding pain in
passing it. Frequent desire to urinate,
especially at night, the staining of linen
by your urine and all unpleasant and
dangerous effects produced on the sys
tem by the use of whiskey and beer.
In speaking of the good done him by
Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy,
the Rev. Aaron Coons, 1). D., pastor of
the M. E. Church of libinecliff, N. Y.,
says:
"I most sincerely believe that T)r.
David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
is the best kidney, liver and blood
medicine made, and urgently recom
mend it, for I know by experience it
will do all that is claimed for it."
"Favorite Remedy" is a vegetable
help to the stomach and bowels in per
forming their duties properly. It over
comes and permanently cures dyspepsia,
indigestion, biliousness and rheumatism.
It is absolutely harmless and purely
vegetable. It contains no dangerous
stimulants, no mercury or poisons, and
is the only kidney medicine that does
not constipate.
