TOWN TALKER
THOUGHTS ON THIS AND THAT
THREADED TOGETHER.
THEMES TERSELY TABULATED.
Tho Tattle of tho Tattlors Tlmoly
Taken and Told Typograplcally
In a Tasteful and Tempt
ing Tone.
People who think tho members of tbo
thoatrical profession lio upon bodsofToses
should interview the remnants of the
"Asleep and Awako Company" in town.
The play was produced at Forguson'B
theatre last night before a houso amounting
to about thirty dollars. Tho performance
and the recoipts wore of equal standard
After computing his share of tho monov
the manager of tho company intimated that
he was what is termod in thoatrical parlance
as broke."
It Is romarkablo that Shenandoah is
convonltnt place for theattical people to
strand in. Tho town seems to bo tho ob
jectivo point of all the weak and bad com
panios on the road. If a troupe is at the
starvation point in St. Louts it manages in
some way to scramble hero and throw it
self upon tho goneroslty of tho people.
.
Last season several companies managed
to get here with just onoush monoy to
buy a few packages of cigarettes. All
actors who smoke cigarettes aro supposed
to bo prosperous and tho foot-sore thes
plans never fall to work tho fako on this

Stranding In Shenandoth is becoming
chostnutty and the thoatrical ponple now
plodding In this direction aro given tho
hint that ono of the greatest blessings of
this lilo is.tho possession of a railroad ticket
for home.
Theatrical patrons are numerous in'tbis
community and thoy aro generous, but
their generosity is not warranted to with
stand all attacks. Some of tho "Asleep
and Awake" people no doubt realized this
to-day. This morning several of them
wero at tho Lehigh "Valley depot and the
glances they threw at arriving and depart
ing trains epoko volumes. Two of them
wero fortunato to get away. Just before
the conductor gavo tho signal for tho 0:03
train to Etart for Now York tho managor
and ono of tho female members of tho com
pany hurried out of the ticket office and
boarded tho train. There was a smilo upon
tho faco of tho female which seemed to cay,
"I'm all right, anyway." Three male
members stood on the depot platform and,
as the train pulled out, they glanced at
each other In a "wo'ro-in-it" manner.
As tho rear platform of tho last car disap
peared around tho curvo they turned upon
their heels and sorrowfully wondod their
way up town.

SOHOOL OF MINES.
A Now Doparturo by tho "Col
liery Engineer."
Tho "Colliory .Engineer" Company, of
Scranton, has decided to open asehoilof
mines with the o'ject of supplying n
thorough raining education which will bo
comprehensive and comploto at a tnvill
cost to tho student.
Tho '"Colliery Engineer" Company has
ontered into an arranzemont with Mr.
Alexander Dick, an efficient and oxicr-
ionced raining onglneor and colliory mana
ger, whereby be agrees to bocomo Director
of tho Colliory Engineer Scho. 1 of Mines.
Tho objects of tho school aro (1) by a
systematic courso of tuition by correspond
onco to thoroughly prepare candidates for
the annual mino foremen's examinations:
(2) to onnblo mino foremon who have al
ready obtained their certificates to roviow
their knowledge by methodical self-exam
Ination and to add to that knowledge and
keep thomsolvos abreast of tho times j (3)
to cnablo every ono connected with mining,
oven It they do not wish to socuro a cer
tificate, to broaden their experience, and
by a system of catechetical study to
thoroughly inform tbomselvesin the theory
and practice of mining.
Tho molhod of instruction will bo by
text bonks ; a judicious course of reading ;
by papors of instruction compllod In torso
and pimplo language by an elaborate sys
tem of question and answer accompanying
each instiuction papor, so that during tin
entirocourso each student will bo under
going a periodical examination upon what
ho has previously learned.
In addition to tbe correspondence courso
it Is proposed to conduct classes for the
active practice of surveying and drawing
so that ouch pupil may, without any oxtra
charge, attend ut tho school In Scrantjn, to
take a special courso in the uso of tho
transit, lovel, etc., and in tho traversing
and plotting of survoys. For this purpc
all the necessary instruments will bo at the
disposal of students under tho caro of the
teacher, also a complete roferonco library
of mining literature .
At tho end of tho courso tho student will
undergo an examination covering tho
branches studlod and on poising eatisfne
torlly will bo grantod tho "Colliory Engi
neer" School of Minos certlflcato. While
this certificate will not entitle tho holder to
act in official capacity at collieries In stales
whore tho mining laws rcquiro a govern
montcouifijato, yet tho course will be so
cornpleto and tho examinations so thor
ough that tho fact of holding ono of' tho
certificates will In Itself bo a guarantee of
tho ability of tho possessor. Any person
taking this courso of instruction who passe
tho examination and is awarded "Tho Col
liery Engineor" School of Mines certificate
will havo no difficulty in passing any of
tho government examinations.
Tho charge for a scholarship is $2G, paya
ble in advanco. Tho scholarship entit'os
tho boldor to instruction until he passes tbo
examination and is awarded tho "Colliery
Engineer" School of Mines certificate.
Tho student may bo able to take tho courso
in six months, or perhaps his studies may
bo interrupted and bo may not bo ablo to
complete it for a number of years. Never
theless tbo scholarship will ontitle him to
instruction and participation in tho classes
until ho can pass tbo examination and docs
receive tho cortificato. The certificate also
entitles tho holder thoroof (without addi
tional expenso excepting, tho cost of rail
road farn and board,) to como to Scranton,
and take advantage of tho classes for in
siruclton in tho practical uso of Surveying
Instruments and in Drawing.
Tho plan of correspondence lessons In
mining Is no experiment, but is an elabora
tion of a system which has worked with
groat success in Europe for tho past ten
yoars. In tho United Stales similar plans
aro now being conducted with complolo
success in almost every study with tho ex
ception of miolng. If in England, with
itl compact p 'pulation, tuih a method is
nocessary, and beneficial, how much more
useful will it bo hero, wboro scattered and
isolated districts procludo tho possibility i f
soparato toachors obtaining a sufficiently
largo class to warrant thorn devoting their
time to teaching.
No ono neod fear entering onthecourie
from want of sufficient education, asovery
subject will bo taken from tho rudiments,
and all that Is required Is that oach student
shall have a few hours every week to de
vote to tho work, with a purpose In view,
and a firm determination to suc.ccd.
To intending candidates for mine fore
men's certificates, tho school will honceforlh
bo a necessity, and to tboso who may have
already obtained that magic piece of paper
tho courso is recommended as a well
organized means of keeping tho theory of
their profession fresh upon thorn, and
maintaining thoir knowledgo on a lovol
with tbo times.

HIS DYING WORDS.
'MX LOVE TO MY COLLEAGUES
AND THE IRISH PEOPLE."
UNERAL OF THE DEAD LEADER
Ho "Will bo Buried In G!a?nevin
Cemetery, Dublin, on Sunday.
No Autopsy Hold Upon tho
Body, as Intended.
London, Oct. U. The announcement
that thero was to bo n post-mortem on
the body of Mr. l'arnoll created some
misgivings ns to the causa of death. Dr.
Gowers, In responso to a telegram of In
quiry, said that tho post-mortem had not
been ordered by any public authority,
but was to be hold by tho wish of the at
tending nhvslclnns. with tho consent of
frlendi of Mr. Parnell.
He stnted that tho death wa ns plain
a cose as he had ever attended. Par
nell died of rheumatic fever.
The doctors, aftor examining tho body
of Mr. Parnell. concluded that It was
not necessary to perform an autopsy, and
therefore rofrnined from doing so. Dr.
Gowers and two other physicians mado
tho examination. The remains had un
dergone a rapid change, and it was
found advisable to close the shell.
As far as known, Mr. Parnell did not
lenvo a will or a political declaration
Ho had no perception of tho gravity of
his Ulnoss or any consciousness of tho
npnroach of death.
During his delirium, shortly beforo ho
died, Mr. Parnell talked about Irelnnd,
and what ho would do for horif he lived.
Almost his last words wero: "Lot my
love be conveyed to my colleagues and
the Irish people."
Tho Messrs. Redmond & Mahony re
arranging for tho funeral. Tho body
will arrive In Dublin on Sunday morning,
and be takon in state to the City Hall
from which the funeral will proceed to
Ulasnevln comotery, tho placo ot Inter
ment. Extensive preparations are being
made for tbo obsequies.
There will bo no rollglous ceremony at
Brighton. Tho body will bo conveyed to
London on Saturday in time to catch th
Irish night mall.
CAPTAIN O'SHHA
TALKS.
Ilia Estimate of the Donil
Leader Ko
Union Llkoly.
London, Oct. 9. In an lntorvlow at
Brighton Captain O'Shea said that ul
timately it would be seon that tho death
of Parnoll would not result In a reunion
of the Irish Homo Rulo party.
"in mo last conversation, but one
that I had with Parnoll ho assented with
obvious pleasuro to my suggestion that
among his political friends tho most false
was John Dillon, the lowest Tim Healy
and T. i: U'Uounor, nnd the most con
temptible Justin McCarthy. I have
nothing now to say about Parnell.
"It was In April. 1880. that! found
mm out for what ho was.
Pnlltlxnll,. ,n
was never a man of Ideas. His was not
an original mind. But ho was the most
Bklllful assimllntor of the Ideas of othors
that I ever knew."
Comments on the Continent.
London, Oct. 0. The views of tho
Continental press and public opinion ns
to tho effect of I'arnoli's death aro large
ly colored by local political interests.
Tho general Impression on the Continent
is that Parncll's denth will strengthen
tho Liberal party, and therefore have an
indirectly unfavorabloiulleunce upon the
foroign policy of Lord Salisbury. Hence
in Germany tho news is received with re
gret, whilo In Franco nnd St. Petersburg,
where tho return of Mr. Gladstone to
power Is desired, there is a disposition
rather to oxult over tho death of tho
man who stood in his way.
I'arnoli's I.ant Rpeech.
London, Oct. 0. Tho last publlo utter
toronce of Mr. Parnoll was at Groggs,
County Galway, Ireland, ou Sopt. 27.
when ho addressed a meeting of three or
four thousand people. Ho was nt that
time far from well, and said, as ho be
gan his speech, that his physicians had
ordered him not to leavo his room, but
he would not disappoint men of Galway,
elso tho socoders would say ho was
beaten.
