Tuesday's advices from Pcttsville
Indicate n belief that tho minors' strike
will not continue beyond the middle of
this month or the 1st of June, as many
of the storekeepers who have been trust
ing the miners cannot continue business
much longer. Some of them are (aid
to be already on tho vergH of bank
ruptcy. Quiet continues, except In the
upper portion of the county, whero
some trains havo again been stopped,
and cars have been switched off the
track, and a policeman has been severe
ly wounded. Additional pollcriuen
have been placed on duty aloug the

Incllue to the opinion that It Is a good
thing.
Only a few coat breakers are now In
operation in the Clearfield region, and
these wl'li reduced forces, under the pro
tection of special police. The strikers
watch all tho trains to prevent ''black-

Our Mauch Chunk Letter

ness should you And the present dry,
or of Ilttlo Interest. For this tho publlo
aro to blamo, not I, since they aro tho
ones upon whoso liberality I mustdepend
for "stock In trade." That they havo
been unusually quiet and well behaved
Is no fault of mine, to whom anything
lu tbe catalogue ot tho stirring would be
a welcome boon.
To begin with : It. F. nofford Is
once mora elected County Superinten
dent of Common Schools, his competi
tor, J. V. Bowland whosa friends had
made such a nolso In the papers receiv
ing 14 out of 02 votes. There Is Joy In
the Iloilord camp, but sorrow, extreme
sorrow, ainoug the friends of Rowland.
The convention which re-elected Mr.
Hoilord would have met and adjourned
without an Incident of noto, had It not
been for a little gaslng-bee between the
grave Fisher Hazard and Mr. Rowland,
which Ilttlo diversion lasted about ten
minutes. It was a well matched game,
tho award by common cousent, being
six to tho one, and half a dozen to tho
other. The Salary was voted to remain
at $1,200.

Alex. Robinson fs actively engaged
In making preparations for the opening
of his "European Hotel" on tbe first
proximo, when Mauch Chunk may ex
pect to boast of a hotel "kept on the
"European plan." Beyond these,
news-Items are scarce as nen's teeth.
As a community Mauch Chunk Is
subject to tho same tils that other com
munities are helrto, consequently are
ndivlduals nptto die hero as elsewhere.
Of those who have departed during the
week I may mention a daughter of
El Us Schick, aged 3 years, a rather
more than commonly Interesting child,
who. died on Monday last, and the de
mise of Mtb., wife of Slreet Corumlulon
er Auios Fegley, who died on the same
day. With births I shall not bother,
V
botu
cares for trifles ? That people aro
hero as well as elsewhere, you
may readily take for granted. There
Is one thing however which neither nil
do, nor alt know how to do, namely :
howHo properly celebrate a birth-day.
Of thoso who do know, the Hon. Asso.
elate Judge Houston certainly Is one, to
which assertion his numerous friends
will bear me willing testimony, at least
those among them who, on Monday
last, assisted at tbe celebration of the
40th anniversary of his birth. Jolly and
generous, as the Judge Is, ho made tho
occasion one of general hilarity for his
friends. Our worthy District Attorney,
it Is said, also celebrated his on the
same day, but quietly among "tbo old
folks at home." Ills ago however I
must not divulge, as doing so might
possibly depreciate his matrimonial
market'value, I. e. provided he should
bave any Intentions in that direction.
Had you, or any of your readers,becn
hero on Monday last, you might havo
seen the madest man you ever saw, the
geutleman In question being no less a
personage than ex-Sheriff Painter. The
Sheriff, it appears, is anxious to square
his old tax-duplicates, and, boing natu
rally ono of the best hearted souls that
ever lived, had, Indue consideration of
tho stringency of the times, favored
many until a further extension of time
would lu his estimation bave ceased to
be a virtue. The first ot the present
month had been tho day set by him, on
which he expected all delinquents to cull
at tho "captain's office to settle." But
few responded however. Jbnday's re
sults having been no better than Sat
urday's, the Sheriff got angry, and now
threatens to push every one to the
wall who shall fall to perform between
this and the 15th Inst. It will there
fore be advisable for delinquent tax
payers promptly to comply, to avoid
trouble, as the Sheriff means what he
and, once provoked by what ho
Considers "fooling" there Is no telling
what harsh measures be might not re
sort to.
George Spangler, who so mysterious'
ly disappeared Saturday a week ago.bas
not yet been heard from. Great un
easiness Is said to bo felt by his family
on his account.
The miners don't seem to be In as strong
a position for endurance, financially,
as they are trying to make people be
Have. Committees soliciting aid are to
be met with almost .dally, while tbe
people even charitably disposed per
sonsare getting weary ot tho many
calls mado upon their generosity. I en
countered one of those committees to
day at several places, but found their
success in raising tue "dough" any-
imng out encouraging.

The Coal Trade.
The situation in the anthracite coal
regions remains unchanged from what
It was last week. Beyond the fact that
wo know that coal produetiuit in tho
"striking" regions must begin sooner
or later, and that, therefore, wo are
now nearer resumption than a week'
ago, the future In this regard scorns
just as uncertain aud resumption as far
removed as It then was. Tbe latest
news gives no promise of a settlement of
existing difference between tho miners
and the operators, and Ilttlo or no min
ing, or. Indeed, labor of any. kind, is
being douo at the miuesln tbe Schuyl
kill and Lelilgu coal regions. The cor
porators of Lackawanna ana Upper
Luzerne aro working tbeir mines day
nud night and shipping loaded cars to
New York. The Delaware and Hud
son Coal Company and tbe Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad (Jo.,
have issued circulars ot their prices for
coal for May, which shows an advance
ot twenty cents per ton Instead ot fifteen
the usual advance. This advance In
price will no doubt continue until the
regions go to work, wheu tho usual
Drosramme will bo adopted. The ptlces
of coal at Rmdout and at Uobokcn are
both tho same Lump, $480; steam
er, $4 00; grate, $5; egg, $3 51; stove,
$5 60, and chettnut, 91 50. At Now
burg the prices of Pennsylvania Coal
Company's coal have been fixed at $4 85
for lump and steamer, 14 03 for grate
15 05 fur egg. 85 55 for stove, and $4-
50 for chestnut. Coal Is quite scarce In'
this city, but rigid economy in its use
has prevented any serious Inconven
ience from short supply. Phlla. Ledger,

Ity of coal shipped over tho Lehigh

Coal Coming,
Coal mining In the Wyoming Valloy,
says tho ylllentown Democrat, Is now
carried on to such an extent that parties
who are we.l versed iu tho matter glvo
It as their opinion that they will be ablo
to furnish all. the coal needed for the
next twelve months, and without using
any from the Schuylkill Regions what
ever. The Wyoming mine owners aro
paying a gradual Increase of wages,
thus Inducing miners to como to work
frcm Carbon ami Schuylkill counties.
It Is said they nre willing to work there,
while for the present they decline to
touch a pick In their old places. Tho
men In the Upper Regions, with their
gradual advance, will thus be ablo to
support those of tho lower regions as
they stand out. In the present position
ot affairs contractors In the Schuylkill
and Lower Lehigh regions aro now on
account ot tho absence ot supply com
pelled to throw up their coritrrcts for de
livery, and as a result they are given to
mine operator In the v yomlng district.
Thus, even if tbe strike should keep on,
there will bo no cause for want ot coal.
The Lockrldge Furnaces, In this county,
are now only using coke In small quan
tity, with a view of exhausting tbo sup
ply on hand. They aro receiving plenty
of anthracite coal, and havo the prospect
of a steady supply for the future. The
Danville Furnacss are very much pleas
ed with tho Wyoming coal, becauso of
It being superior to the Schuylkill coal
In tbo amount of Iron it produces.
Decoration Dmy Parade.
Leblgh Hook k Ladder Co, , and tho

purposes to have a parade aud decoiate

May 29tb (Decoration Day); tbo line
will form at 3 o'olock v, m. A com
mlttee has been appointed to solicit
flowers aud ooutrlbutlocs for the oc
casion. Too Tbcenlx CViroet Dand, of Mauch
Chunk, visited our borough on Thurs
day evening, and discoursed sweet
strains ot music at tho different hotels
la ton a. Como again I
'Country Parlors.
"D. W. LH" In Hearth and Home,
says: A great many people think thoy
can't keep hriuso without n patlor set
apart exclusively for company use,kopt
"span clean," and Jealousy guarded
from stray sunbeams that havo it trick
of peeping through every unwary
crevice. Our grandmothers had such a
room, our mothers had one, and so,
forsooth, must wo. But then tbe par
lors of our ancestors boasted of thoso
glorious, wide-mouthed fire-places that
brighten any room, howover gloomy,
whilo wo box up tho cheerful flames In
Iron or freostono and call It moro gen
teel. Wo retrain all tho stillness while
discarding tho only redeeming, feature
of their "spare room."
I do not mean to say that nono of us
should have a parlor, but I do protest
ngalnst spending the greater part of tho
money ono lias to furnish a homo In
putting expensive furnlturo Into a room
that, in our country homes, will bo
used perhaps n dozen times In tho
course of n year, while the remainder
ot tho houso suffers thereby. It you
have but few pictures, with a rare gein
or two, put them Into your sitting-room
by all means. Your homo should bo
mado pleasant for your family, and
then it will bo'an attractive place for
visitors.
I go to make Mrs. Prim an afternoon
visit. I find her la tho sitting-room
busy with the week's mending. After
a half hour's chat she excuses herself
and passes out of tho room. I know
Just where she has gone. The horror
of her best room comes over me. I
hear ber sweeping down the cobwebs,
rolling up tbo curtains, and throwing
open the blinds. I wait In nervous ex
pectation. I am contented and cosey
where I am, but I know Mrs. Prim
wishes that. I should see "tho parlor."
She knows I haven't any at home. Sbe
comes back leaving the doors open, and
says in bare, distinct words, "we will
tako some seats In this way." I know
just what to say. 1 have said It a great
many times. Everybody says it Is un
der the circumstances. I reply. "I sit
very comfortably here," rising at the
same time.
Jrs. Prim passes on, I following af
ter, feeling as though I nm In a funeral k
procession going to look at tbe corpse,
and tbe corpse Is lu the best room. It
smells of tho tcmb, It looks gravelike,
and I shudder Inwardly as I sit down
on the horse-hair sofa, staring at tho
blank walls. I am uncomfortable ; I
can't help it. Mrs. Prim Is uncomfor
table. Suo don't feel at home. How
ever, Johnny's overalls, with ono leg
torn off, don't correspond with tho
room, but they must be mended, this af
ternoon. She tries to talk, and I do the same.
I know what she expects of me, and I
try to satisfy her. I speak ot tho beau
ty of her carpet, which resembles a cir
cus bill ; ot the enormous 6lzo of her
minor, and then I am at tho end of my
wits, the room isn't suggestlvo of
ideas. Don't you know how much dif
ference there Is In rooms? It Is so
easy to tak In some rooms ; your tongue
ruus In spite of Itself. You find so
much to awaken thought that It seems
as It tbo room was planned for that
purpose.
Country parlors, as a rule, do not be
long to this class. They are nothing
but a "hollow mookery." And Uteri
the abrnbt manner of showing visitors
Into them I If you happen to be caught
In the kitchen, try to find somo excuse
for changing rooms, as showing them
a new song, or late picture, and then
you can easily bo seated and continue
tho conversation. If you bave a parlor
make It homo-like, llfe-llko and avoid
any appearance ot stiffness. Sit In there
by yourself, and with your family
sometimes, so as to get rid of that feel
ing supposed to belong to a "cat in a
strange garret."
God bo thanked for our noblo wom
en in the country that are an honor to
any community, but preservo us from
these old-fashioned, straight - backed,
gloomy dens called parlors.
