"Strike For Ycvr Altars

Patriotism is always com-
mendable, but in every breast
there should be not only the
desire to be a good citizen,
but to be strong, able bodied
and well fitted for the battle
of life. To do this, pure
blood is absolutely neces-
sary, and Hood's Sarsapa-
rilla is the one specific which
cleanses the blood thorough-
ly. It acts equally well for
both sexes and ail ages.
Humor — " When I need a blood puri-
fier I take Hood's Sarsap&rdU. It cured
my humor and is excellent as a. nerve
tonic." Josie Eaton, Stafford Springs, CV.

§&* ANTON, PA., OCT. 12.—Eight
hundred and fifty-seven miners who
hold in their hands the power to end
or continue the anthracite coal
strike which has been in progress
more than three weeks met in conven-
tion here today for the purpose of
considering the 10 per cent net ad-
vance in the wages offered by the op
erators, and adjourned until tomorrow
without taking any action on their
employers proposition.
Both of today's sessions were de-
voted to organizing the convention.
It was not expected that anything
would be done today outside of a gen-
eral exchange of views.
The convention after it was per-
manently organized went into secret
session but it was learned from au-
thortative sources that nothing of a
definite nature was suggested which
would lead to the solution of what is,
to the miners, a knotty problem.
From the trend of the remarks of
the delegates It was gathered that tho
10 per cent proposition as 1t now
stands has very little chance of being
accepted. The delegates reemed almost
unanimous that the operators shou'd
first make concessions in the other
grievances before the increase is ac-
cepted by the mine workers. Great
stress was laid on the necessity of
abolishing the sliding scale and sub-
stituting therefor a tonnage basis on
which to fix the rate of wages. The
propositions of having the operators
guarantee a fixed time for paying the
advance was alro discussed while not
a few delegates said the-
satisfied with nothing less than a
more liberal advance in wages.
The whole procedure is a mutter
which Is now occupying the attention
of the labor leaders. In case the con-
vention comes to a definite under-
standing on some proposit'on the
question has been asked how the oper-
ators will be advised, in view of the
fact that the latter have repeatedly
said that the would not recognize the
union.
That the present convention will not
come to a definite conclusion is the
general opinion tonight. It is the op-
inion of several leaders that the con-
vention a.* present constituted is a
little unweildly.
There was amovement on foot to-
day for Its object the submission of
the various propositions as they are
suggested by the delegates to a com-
mittee appointed by the convention
for consideration, this committee to
report to either this or a second con-
vention. Thin movement, however,
did not gain much of a start. Some
of the delegates think that the whole
sjubject should be left in the handp
of the national officers, as hinted at
by President Mitchell in his brief re-
marks Just before the convention went
into secret session. Mr. Mitchell is
very popular among the miners, as
was shown by the enthusiasm dis-
played as he delivered his opening ad-
dress.
The first business of the afternon
session was the receiving committee
reports, a matter of routine.
During the roll call upon the ad-
option of the reports President Mitch-
ell ruled that In compliance with the
promise to the non-union mine work-
ers, all unorganized men on' strike
could be represented in the conven-
tion. For instance, if a union has i
membership of f 00 and there are TO)
men on a strike at the collery where
the union is located, then It is en-
titled to seven votes instead of five
The reports of the committees were
accepted.
President Mitchell read the follow-
ing tei«frram from Samuel Gompers,
prertdewt of the A merlin
of Labor:
"The cause of the miner-* Is
cause of humanity. Whatever th
oislinn reached regarding the opera-
tor®' offer, the future must be bright
er, tietter and more just. Miners, th !r
wives and children, and humanity
will be the gainer. Kindly convey to
the (« MifltiM " ''
sympathy on* co-operation of every
union member and officer of the
American Federation of Labor.
will pray and Work for your
Then President Mifchell ng".in ad-
dressed the mine's. In the course of
his speech he said
"This if probably one of the mos!
remarkable conventions that It hus
ever been my good fortune to attend
You are called here to pass judgment
on a proposition never made to you.
The operators made no propositions to
the miners. They posted notices of an
advance of wages over those former-
ly paid. It will now become your
duty to pass judgment as* to whether
you desire to accept it or to instruct
your officers what you wish them to
do. I said before every man here must
feel that upon his shoulder rests
terrible responsibility. If you legislate
wisely you will have a bright future
before you; on the other hand a mis-
take now may mean a continuation
of the conditions which have pre-
vailed here for many years. 1 hope
that you will do your duty. Na man
wants to be carrle dnway with en-
thusiasm. You do not want to vote or
speak on any question because It Is
popular to do so. You should do what
you believe to be right."
The convention then went into ex-
ecutive sess-ion and remained so until
adjournment.
heedless members of tie audience talk-
ing In the rear of the hall, and each
time he refused to proceed until the con-
versation ceased.
"I want you all to hear what T have
to say," he declared. "It is Important
that you should hear, aad I mean that
you shall do so."
Mr Stevenson will leave here early to-
morrow reaclng Baltimore at 0 a. m.
From there he will go to Delaware aiul
then to Now York.

little dfoubt but what Kansas City and
Minneapolis will be thrown out of th?
American league circuit and Baltimore
and Washington taktn in as the new c ub
at the opening of another season. Five
clubs are heartily in favor of the change
and that number is sufficient to ovrry
when put to a vote.
An informal meeting of the cireu t
committee was held today and the situa-
tion thoroughly canvassed, but nothing
was recommended to the league for ac-

FIRST DAYS CAMPAIGN CLOSES
WITH A SPEECH AT PORTS-
MOUTH.
PORTSMOUTH. O., OCT. 12.-Oct. 12.—
Mr. Bryan concluded the first da yof
his campaign in Ohio, In this city to-
night. He was met at the station by
a torchlight procession consisting of men
both on foot and horseback, and escort-
ed to a square in the center of the
city, wh°re he spoke from a platform io
the open air. The meeting was *by far
the largest of the day and it was thor-
oughly enthusiastic.
The republicans had a torch light pro-
cession in tne city tonight, with speeches
In a public hall by Senator Spooner and
W. D.Bynum. As a consequence the city
was full of red fire and political enthu-
siasm. The line of march of the two par
ties were so pranged as not to conflict
and there was no physical clash.
A majority of tho meetings during the
day were not so largely attended nor
so demonstrative as those of Indiana and
Illinois tour of last week Rain threaten-
ed during the greater part of the day
and elreumstance doubtless had a. damp-
ening Influence on the ardor of the
crowds, as well as upon their attend-
ance. *
When Mr. Bryan .was Introduced at
Springfield where he had ono of the best
crowds of the day, some enthusiastic
admirer In the crowd, shouted: 'TTurrah
for the farmer president" The exclama-
tion attracted Mr. Bryan's attention and
he said:
"I do not want to be elected under
false, pretenses. I am not a farmer; I
am -an agriculturalist, You know tho
difference between them. A farmer is a
man who makes his money on the farm
and spends it. in town, while an agricul-
turalist Is a man who makes his money
in town and spends it on the farm."
This definition pleased the audience and
all listened attentively to his speech
throughout.
At this point Mr. Bryan devoted his
principal attention to the trusts and his
argumeents were along the usual lines.

EVANSVILLE, INI)., OCT. 12-Gov-
ernor Roosevelt concluded his Indiana
tour tonight, making two speeches in
this city, and speaking in both instan-
ces to large audiences.
Arriving here at 4:".' the governor dined j
fn his private car remaining then until
shortly before eight o'clock, at which
time he was escorted to the St. George
hotel, where he reviewed a parade giv-
en in his honor. From the reviewing
stand he was driven to the Evans hall,
■where he made a reply to a speech de-
livered yesterday by Mr. Bryan.
From the hall he went to the C.rand
opera house and odressed the second iu-
dicn. • , eonstltufling the eleventh which
has heard him speak since ho- left In-
dianapolis this morning.
The day was characterized by large
crowds and much enthusiasm, in whieh
respect Evansville was not lacking.
In his speech ut Vincennes, Governor
Roosevelt delved Into history to show
that through expansion that part of the
state of Indiana in which Vincennes Is
iltuated was added to the domain of
this government.
At Vincennes Governor Roosevelt said
In part:
• Speaking here In Vincennes, I am en-
lvatable reminded of the first expansion
of the United States, It was a hundred
.ind twenty-one years ago that George
I Rogers Clark and his troop of riflemen,

I ole Inhabitants, forced the British gar-
I rlson to surrender and added what is a
j portion of tho state of Indiana to the
l1 nit ed States And. gentlemen, they did

habitant*, and much against the will of
the British garrison, and. although
