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.

“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-

that Eugene Moore, as the burglar, and
Miss Ruth Macauley, as his wife, were
a decided success. Little Lottie Bris-

in which childish innocence and purity
were predominant, captured the whole
andience. Plays of this character

At the meeting of the Patton Build-

evening more interest was manifested
than usual. The meeting was called
for the purpose of receiving does, and

tution The whole amount of sub

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,

a few exceptions. The sdccess of the
