Attorney and Counselor at Law, THE CALE 19 JBANDONED BEST TERMS POSSIBLE Reorganization and Combination Will De the Rest With Better Times, The miners delegates in convention at Pittsburg on Tuesday decided to make the price of mining open. al- ho recognizing saventy-nine cents the district price. This means that is priviledged to make the 1 beet terms possible with the operators. National Secretary McBryde, after mn, seemed somewhat dis- couraged on account of the comparat- the convent _ ively few delegates at the convention, which precluded all possibilities of en- forcing the scale. The present indica- tions are that the mining rate in the Pittsburg district may drop from 79 cents to 50 cents, and it may. go lower, The latitude allowed the miners in mak- ing their own terms, may be the means of many local strikes. However this state of things was forced on the min- ers officials through the neglect of so: many of the mines not sending dele- gates to the convention. Heretofore the miners in the Pittsburg region ‘were almost a unit, and invariably a | fair compensation for a day’s work was the result of their unanimity. There is some satisfaction for the "miners in the knowledge, that in a few short months trade will have recovered sufficiently to enable the mines in that district to stand some chance to regain mining rates, and to establish a confl- ‘dence in their organization, and give to it a stability not enjoyed heretofore. -Their action on Tuesday is, however, ‘nothing less than a temporary aband- ~onment of the scale, and will undoubt- edly be the cause of much trouble in the future. To regain the price of min- . ing once abandoned is the next thing to an imposibility, and is dreaeed by : both the operator and the miner. | QUESTION OF THE WoUR { Mvery Person Ttirasted in Making the : Dollars Go Far. ‘Take care of the pence and the pounds will take care of themselves’ is _ amarim that is peculiarly applicable to ‘these hard times. Wastefulness at all times is foolish: it is worse than that now when thousands are suffering from ‘the lack of the necessaries of life. The Pittsburg Times is an object lesson in ropes economy. It presents one of the chief necessities of Tife—all the news—at the lowest possible cost. Notwithstanding the fact that the Pitts. burg Times is sold for only one cent a day, the cisim is made for it that it is the most complete newspaper printed in Pittsburg, that every occurence of human interest in every part of the globe is promptly reported in its col- ums; that it is essentially a paper for the home, everything of an objection- able charseter being excluded: that it is the only paper in ldtisburg whose market reports are relinhie and revised every day in the week; that it is the only Pittsburg newspaper which printa daily a carefully prepared department for the ladies, and ones’ a week a report, prepared by experts, of speeial interest to agricultural readers, and, finally, it is the only Pittsburg newspaper which prints daily the highest class of fiction. +n addition to all this, The Times offers to all its readers at a nominal cost the cpportanity of securing one of the highest class magscines printed in the country, and to the ladies their choice during the year 1884, of twelve of the most approved paper patterns, with privilege of selecting from a list of 20,000. Send for a sampie copy of The Times which will be mailed you free, and sce how these promises are falfilied. If there is no agent for The Times in your locality, a profitable business can be established by writing for the agency. Cambria Marriage Lirenses.

ABLE MEN ON BOTH be Procared Por the Borongh, _ Election time is drawing nigh, and in every bhorough and township tickets are being nominated and the ubual trouble of choosing candidates has begun, especially in Patton. We certainly have had a lively time in this borough in selecting candidates to suit the ideas of our citizens. At last two tickets have been nominated and the chosen ones have got on their war paint and are prepared for the struggle which will, at the February election, determine the: contest. At the presant writing we are unable to give the names by which the different tickets are known as; but are selections made by the difference .in opinion of the citizens at both conventions.

There are good men on both tickets to select from. At the Opern Honse. “The Burglar” company was greeted with a comfortably filled house and an appreciative one on Monday night. The play is full of pathos, and was so well rendered as to awaken the tender emotions in the breasts of the most hard hearted. To do justice to the whole cast sepa- rately would take up much space in these columns. = We will, however, say that Eugene Moore, as the burglar, and Miss Ruth Macauley, as his wife, were a decided success. Little Lottie Bris- coe, as Editha, in her wonderful acting, in which childish innocence and purity were predominant, captured the whole andience. Plays of this character should be encouraged. They are ele- vating in their influence and refine. ment, and sre an educator of the masses. New Livery for Patfon.

The meeting was called for the purpose of receiving does, and * the adoption of the by-laws and consti- tution The whole amount of sub - scriptions is about 350 shares, which is very satisfactory, considering the short time in which the asssociation has been in existence. Several parties, who as yet are not stockholders, were present and seemed very much interested in the proceedings. This is as it should be, and is an evidence that before very long the citizens of Patton will realize - the necessity of supporting a home as sociation, and severely let alone all foreign institutions of the samé char- acter. The committee on by-laws and constitiition, which were appointed at the previous meeting handed in their re- port which was acted upon by sections, and was accepted as reported with a few exceptions.
