The people of Hazleton and vicinity gave a hearty welcome to the Democratic cratic candidates on Tuesday evening. Hazle Hall was crowded to the doors and with music and cheers the voters greeted the leaders of the party which is endeavoring to redeem Pennsylvania from its present depths of degradation. The meeting was the largest held there for a number of years, and the interest manifested in the addresses of the speakers was extraordinary. Those who feared that the voters of lower Luzerne were not up with the questions of the day were treated to a surprise. The audience proved itself to be familiar with every topic discussed, as was evi denced by its keen appreciation of the numerous local and general hits made by the orators. A. L. Tilden, of Erie, candidate for State Treasurer, was the first speaker, and was followed by Robert E. Wright, of Allentown, candidate for Auditor General. Both gentlemen confined themselves to a discussion of State is sues. The address of Mr. Wright was an exceptionally strong one. After him came George 11. Hoffman, of Philadel phia, who spoke in English and German. The introduction of State Chairman Kerr was the signal for an outburst of applause which lasted several minutes. His address was one of the best of the evening, and in every sentence he de livered a home thrust to the party of corruption against which he is making a fearless stand. When Mr. Kerr con cluded the county questions were taken up and handled by Treasurer John S. McGroarty, Judge Lynch, John M. Gar man, Lee Stanton, J. C. Wiegand and John D. Hayes. The latter spoke prin cipally upon the necessity of a Constitu tional Convention, giving ample illus trations to show that tiie present instru ment needs amending. After the meeting the State Chairman stated he was more than pleased with the reception accorded the party, and said he is more confident of victory than lie was last year. Mr. Kerr has a soft place in his heart for the mining regions and the miners. He remembers who it was that turned the tide of battle at 12 o'clock on the night of November 4, 1890, when the indications were favor able to Delamater's election and the Re publicans were parading in great glee through the streets of Philadelphia. At that hour the returns from the anthra cite counties were announced, and, al though incomplete then, they gave a ma jority of over 11,000 for Robert E. Patti son, making his election an assured fact. As the tidings flashed out from one bulletin to another along Chestnut Street the thousands of anxious voters who were waiting for a decisive report sent up a shout of joy that resembled peals of thunder. "The miners did it!" was the cry for the remainder of that night, and the miners will do it again. They were true to their grand old common wealth last November and will not turn traitors in the present battle. Frocland'H Meeting. The political campaign lias been un usually quiet in this section, but the meeting of Saturday evening next at the Opera House promises to awaken the voters. The county candidates have been in the lower end all this week, holding mass meetings at every available point, and rousing people tip to the ques tions they will soon be called upon to decide. They will finish their labors in the Fourth District with the demonstra tion here, at which the following speak ers will be present: Hon. John Lynch, John M. Garman, John S. Harding, John T. Lenahan, J.C.Wiegand, Lee Stanton, Senator Hines and others. Speaking will commence at 7.30. Voters of every political belief are cordially invited. The officers of the meeting are as follows: Chairman, John Brady; Secretary, John p. Herron; Vice Presidents, Owen Fritz inger, T. Campbell, Matt. Sieger, Daniel Dauhert, A. J. Thrash, Hugh Malloy, Jas. Mcllugh, Soloman Bachert, Jas. J. Malloy, A. Goeppert, A. Rudewick.Wm. F. Boyle, I!. McLaughlin and M. Halpin. To Organize a Clioir. At an early date Prof. W. Rhys Her bert will organize a Welsh choir of 250 voices. The Hingcrs will he from Hazle ton, Freeland, Audenried, Muhanoy City and Shenandoah. On March 17 the choir will go to Wilkes-Barre and com pete for the SSOO prize offered at the Cambro-American Eisteddfod to be held in that city. There is not another sec tion in the State where so many talented Welsh singers can be brought together, and the proposed new choir will be made up of none hut the very best vocalists. Prof. Herbert is a man who knows how to get a choir together and under his training the choir will no doubt bring home the laurels from Wilkes-Barre.—■ Sentinel. On tlie .Saratoga. The Pennsylvania Schoolship Saratoga returned recently to Philadelphia from a three months' cruise, and on Tuesday Chas. Ilaganey, who was appointed by Hon. Wm. R. Jeffrey as the representa tive of this district, left for Philadelphia to take a position on board the vessel. When the appointment was made last June it was too late to prepare and pass examination in time to accompany the Saratoga, hence the delay. The next voyage will he commenced in January, and as the young man lias had consider able experience already on the water be will be found equal to any of the ship's complement. Tlie term of service is three years. A dispatch from Mr. Haganey last evening states that he passed examination O. K., and was ordered to report on Monday. Till. Evening's Flay. "An Irishman's Luck" is a musical farce comedy, written by the well-known author, Will H. Powers, and has never yet failed to keep an audience in good humor. The company which will present it at the Opera House this evening is one of competent comedians, selected solely for their ability to do justice to the characters they represent. Clever dan cers and pleasing vocalists will entertain the audience between the numerous funny saying and laughable situations of the play. The Emerald Quartette, which this company has secured at great ex pense, is one of the finest collection of singers traveling this season. All the topical songs and latest stage specialties will he introduced during the evening, and if it is a hearty laugh you want it can be found in "A Irish an'- Luck." FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1891. DRAMATIC COMPANY. Freeland Amateurs to Appcur at tile Opera House on November 11. The movement to organize a dramatic company composed of local talent has been successful, and the organization has commenced rehearsing for its first public appearance, which will be at the Free land Opera House on the evening of No vember 11. The members of the com pany have been selected by Rev. F. I'. McNally, through whose efforts it was organized, and who is also acting as in structor. The latter states that the com pany has already attained a degree of proficiency that is surprising, consider ing the short time since rehearsing be gan, and confidently expects to present before the people of Freeland a company of well-trained actors on the opening night. "The Danger Signal," a two-act drama by T. S. Denison, of Chicago, will be the first production, and is to be given for the benefit of the St. Patrick's Bene ficial Society. The following is a brief synopsis of the play: Mr. Norman had in early life succeed ed by questionable means in obtaining a colonelcy which Enfield would otherwise have obtained. To make amends Nor man afterward has Williamson, alias Enfield, appointed captain of the steamer "Northern Belle," which is wrecked. Norman, who thinks Williamson wreck ed the vessel intentionally, had him ar rested, and Williamson flees from justice, he had at the time of the wreck rescued Stella, who is really Norman's daughter, and left her at an obscure place on the Great Lakes. He afterward takes her with him to Bald Point, where he makes a living by keeping summer boarders, fishing, etc. The wreck of the vessel and loss of many lives, together with his wrongs, gradually prey upon Enfield's mind till Stella fears insanity. Mother Foresight knows his secret. Chester Norman is on the Lake Survey and be comes acquainted with the Enlields. Charles Norman, his foster father, calls to see him and is recognized by Enfield. He and Dr. Valerian, who is a pretty thorough knave, ullow Norman to depart in a small boat with a squall coming on. Mother Foresight gives the alarm and Norman is saved. In the second act Enfield plots to throw Norman over a cliff with the tacit acquiescence of Valerian. Mother Fore sight again frustrates their plan and the whole denouement is precipitated. En field's whole soul is now possessed by the desire for revenge. In the scene where he meditates for a brief time, al lowing Stella to marry Chester Norman, her own brother, as he supposes him, the opportunity for acting is very fine. Persimmon and Pat afford unlimited fun. The characters are very evenly balanced, and, it is stated, there is not an unimportant part in the play. The cast is composed of the following: Chas. Norman M. J. Gondii Ivnthdd, alias Williamson John O'Neil Chester Norman J. 11. liauhm Dr. Valerian Jas. F. Sweeney Peter Bullock \ni its. Jewelry and Watches.
