WANT THEM TO REMAIN.
COAL COMPANIES FEAR THE EXO
DUS OF YOUNG MEN.
Counteracting the Desire of the Rising
Generation to Go Klsewhere by Hutld
ing Club-Houses and Aiding Them to
Advance Themselves.
The young men of this part of the
coal field have flowed outward in a
steady stream for livo years or more
past. This depletion in the homes of
the mining villages has of late caused
more or less concern to the managers of
mining corporations of the vicinity.
The young man is still a necessary part
of the equipment of any properly con
ducted colliery. Machinery and foreign
labor have displaced them in many
vocations about the mines, but there Is
yet abundant use for the activity,
energy and brightness of tho American
boy, and, try as they will, the lime has
not yet arrived when coal companies
can run their huge plants without him.
Hence the departure and continued
absenco of Iho boys, unnotieod at first
by the coal officials, has lately assumed
a position among their troublesome
questions, and efforts are now being
made to induce the young men to remain
here, instead of going off to seek that
higher and more ideal life craved by
youthful nature, which in the past was
not to bo found in the monotonous
existence which was a boy's lot in the
coal region.
With this object in view, to make
their evenings and leisure hours more
pleasant than heretofore, club-houses
and rooms arc being built in the mining
towns, wherein the younger employes
can meet and derive, to a limited extent
at least, the advantages to bo gained by
associating with ono another, eacli giv
ing to his fellows tho benefit of his
knowledge in some particular branch of
education or sport, all reaping some
thing from the whole, and the result
tending to bring thorn nearer to those
attributes which go to make man better
and nobler.
A room of tills description has for
some years boon maintained at Jcddn
by the Progressive Club. Jcddo today
has triple tho number of young men of
any town in tho coal fields, in propor
tion to population. The desiro to
wander off lias boon reduced to a mini
mum, and tliis fact lias not escaped the
attention of John Marklo, the head of
tho firm at that place. To assist the
boys in their clnvating work he has
offered to build the organization a club
house which will meet their demands
more fully than thoir present quarters.
Work upon the structure will soon begin.
It will bo a two-story building, with
basement,. A steam-heating plant will he
installed, and the club will add largely to
its present library and furnish the house
th roughout.
Previously a ball has been held in
Freeland annually on Thanksgiving Eve
by the club, to procure tho necessary
revenue to maintain its room. Under
an agreement made with Superinten
dent Smith, of the Markle firm, who is
also interested in tho club's work, this
form of raising money will hereafter
he dispensed with, and a donation of SSO
will be made to tho Progressive Club by
Mr. Smith every Thanksgiving.
Tho company will also erect a club
houso at Oakd&le for tho young residents
of that town.
A year ago the Cross Creek Coal Com
pany presented the young men of Drif
ton with a building for purposes similar
to those outlined above, and a few
weeks ago completed another building
at tho hall park in that town, designed
and adapted for the use of tho Fearnots
Athletic Association.
This intorest which the coal com
panies of our vicinity are taking in on
couraging tho young to stay hero is
truly commendable, and with a little
more humanity shown all their employes
during working hours, will go farther to
establish friendly feelings and harmoni
ous relations between capital and labor
in our midst than any person can
predict. Every such movement of the
corporations, having the advancement
of man as one of its objects, even though
tho main incentive in inaugurating it
may he a personal ono, will redound to
their credit and will be appreciated by
the beneficiaries.
A Great Attraction.
The Red Cross nurse, in her desire to
ease the pain and quell the agony of the
wounded sufferers, did no small dam
age to faithful hearts, during the late
war. In "A Daughter of Cuba," which
comes to the Grand opera house, Hazle
ton, tomorrow evening, Miss Joan
Mawson, in her petite, graceful way
portrays the loving, gentle, sympathetic
nurse. Tho play deals with the love of
two people who havo mot on tho field
of battle, wherein a tent has hastily
been erected. Tho nurse tremblingly
prepares for tho treatment of tho first of
tho wounded. She has followed her lover
to a fever-ridden country after tho
usual lover's quarrel and with hopes of
a reconciliation adopts tho custom of
the Red Cross. Among the first, who in
that awful battle of Sibony, were
wounded nigh unto death, is Jack
Price, her lover, who had joined tho New
j York Seventy-first.
Tho performance will begin promptly
at 8 o'clock, so as to anabio the people
attending to ride to tlieir homes.

Jeddo, were walking on tho track on
their way to Freeland when tho train

brother. Engineer William McNeils, who
aiso runs a passenger train, tho Reaver
Meadow man attempted to board the
engine and missed his footing. The
wheels crushed tho instep and all toes
except the great one.
The injured man was brought to his
mother's home on Adams street, where
physicians examined the foot. Reliev
ing amputation necessary, they recom
mended his removal to tho Miners'
hospital, and he was taken thorn at. 11
p. in., the D. S. &S. furnishing a special
train to Reaver Meadow road, where the
hospital ambulance was met.
At the hospital the foro part of the
foot was taken off last night. A tele

of many incidents of her long.lifo.
Mrs. Roidy was born under tho reign
of Georgo 111, and lived through tho
reign of George IV, William IV and
