New York, July 9.- The an thracite strike has developed into a crucial struggle of national im port between the forces of capi tal and organized labor. The American Federation of Labor, realizing that a victory for the operators would mean almost a death blow to unionism, have come Ito the assistance of the United Mine Workers. Five hun dred thousand dollars a week has been pledged to the striking miners as long as they maintain the struggle. President Henry White, of the Garment Cutters Union, of New York, returned here today, after a conference with Mitchell, to whom he outlined a plan for the American Federation of Labor. to assess a per capita tax on its million members to provide means for pretracting the strike. He said the miners need no funds now, but would accept assistance when necessary. Hanna declares that negotia tions are progressing which may lead to anael` settlement of the strike. He also said that the miners do not need funds at present. President Baer, of the Read ing railroad admits that the strikers have the advantage owing to the mining laws of Penosyl vania; the operators will there fore wait until the miners are tired of the strike.

World's Fair Grounds, St. Louls, July 9,--The ;legislature of Louisiana hap passed the bill Appropriating $100,000 for the state representation at the Loui sianaPurchase Exposition This is the full amount recommended by Governor Heard. The Loui siana state building will be a re production of the famous Cabaldo or town hall, erected in New Or leans somewhat more than a hundred years ago, in which the transfer of sovereignty over the great Louisiana territory took place. But far the greater part of the appropriation will be used to bring to the attention of expo sition visitors, the many import ant industries and industrial pos sibilitiesof Louisiana. The state has awakened to a new era of in dustrial. progress through the development of its rice culture, lumber, oil and salt production. While the old standard crop, cot ton, must continue to receive a large measure of attention, the new diversity of industry has brought a new era of prosperity to Louisiana, which has given rise to the desire to have the state better known. The oppor tunity to do this will come with the great exposition of 1904. When in need of a nice busi ness sign see McGivney, over Two Brothers' bicycle store. Wood. and Japan.

Seattle, ,Wash., July 9.-Harry Tracy is a fugitive for the fourth time. After his arrival at Mead ow joint he escaped from the po lice and was traced to the house of Charles Gerrels, and when Deputy Sheriff Cook arrived with a possee and advanced toward the house the convict plunged through and was lost to view. Two blood hounds were turned loose on the scent but the outlaw scattered cayenne pepper on the trail and ten minutes was lost before the dogs were able to exercise the power of smell again. When hard pressed Tracy plunged into the outskirts of the lake and succeeded in casting the scent until dark when the guara was compelled to return with the dogs.

No general sessions were held by the National Educational associ ation today, the entire time be ing given over to meetings of the various departments. This was done in ozder to relieve the crowded schedule of department meetings which has prevailed in various years This forenoon, in the First Congregational church, the de partment of kindergarten edu cation held its first session. "Language in Relation to the Work of the Kindergarten" was the general topic of discussion, and interesting papers treating of various phases of the subject were presented by Miss Mary C. May of Salt Lake City, Miss Ce cilia Adamsof Denverand others. The department :of secondary education heldlits annual meeting at the East Side High School, with J. Remsen Bishop of Cin cinnati, presiding. After an ad dress ;y superintendent R. G. Boone, of Cincinnati, on the sub ject, "Studies for Adolescents," the meeting separated into con ferences for the discussion of various branches of secondary education; such as the classics, mathematics and biology. Before the department of higher education this afternoon papers were presented by differ ent members of the association. The following is an extract from that of Professor Edwin G. Dex ter of the University of Illinois: "The problem for discussion is the relative merits of admitting candidates to college by means of the personal examination of DO YOU WANT MONEY ON YOUR .RICE CROP ? If you do we are ready to serve you. Notice what we offer you. ........ MONEY AT 8 PER CENT.

The question is not that of the rela tive merits of the entrance, ex amination and admission by cer tificate, which has already been fully discussed in the east. The problem falls under three heads, as follows: "First, what is the pedagogical efct of the entrance examination upon the pupil; second, what is its effect upon the school and third, what is its effect upon the college? The conclusion reached is that entrance examinations are pernicious to the pupil, be cause it places the youth under an unnecessr' ry mental strain and because it puts a premium on cramming; that they are inju rious to the secondary school be cause its curriculum has to be adjusted to the point of view of an examiner who is mainly in terested in and familliar with the more advanced phases;of his sub ject, the integrity and rational development of the secondary school course thus being placed in jeopardy; that they are not satisfactory from the stand point of the college. as shown by the fact that candidates admitted by certificate seem to make abet ter showing in their subsequent work than do those admitted by examination. On the other hand admissions withou t examinations from schools inspected and ap proved by a competent collegeof ficial has decided advantages. In the first place, the pupil is not directly affected by the examina tion of the school, in the second place the standared of the school is raised, and its development stimulated along proper lines, and finally the college itself is furnished with students who have had tho oportunity of de veloping their abilities unhamp ered by the thoughts of an exam ination which is rather a test of their powers of discrete memory than of their real proficiency and knowledge." One of the most interesting meetings of the day was that of the department of child study. Prof. Frederick E. Bolton of the University of Iowa, opened the session with a paper on "New Lines of Attack in Child Study," which was discussed by Miss Clara W. Magnus of Detroit. The child study department of the Chicago Public schools was the subject of an inlteresting paper by Miss Angeline Loech of Chi cago, and Theodore B. Noss, principal of the Southwestern
