J. E. Toole in "The Hells."
Maluinoy City American, September 14, 1800.
You cannot always tell by the prices
of admission tho value of a theatrical
performance, and that is whero some
people have been mislead as to the J. E.
Toole company, now filling an engage
ment at Kaior's Grand opera house. Of
all the repertoire companies that come
to Mahanoy City, none are more worthy
of crowded houses. Last evening the
piece was Henry Irving's version of
"Mathias, tho Bells, or the Murder of
the Polish Jew." Mr. Toole filled the
roll of the burgomaster who had murder
ed the Jew and became rich. After
fifteen years and just as he is marrying
off his only child to a man of high char
actor, remorse seizes him.
Ills portrayal of tho oonsciencc
strlcken murderer was a splendid bit of
work, which gave evidence of his high
attainments as an actor. As usual tho
support was good and tho stage setting
and effects in good taste. Specialties
of a high order are promised for this
evening.

THERE IS HOPE FOR ALL.
Milinay Protective Association Still Work
ing for Jersey Land Investors.
Milinay, N. J., September 15, 1899.
EDITOR TRIBUNE. —While in that part
of Luzerne county, I found many who
had paid only a small amount to tho
South Jersey Land and Transportation
Company, and had only a receipt or two
and no contract. These we did not en
courage to join our Protective Associa
tion, as we saw but little hope for them.
Wo felt that if we saved those that had
been large investors, that was all we could
undertake; but we now have reached a
point whero wo ask all who have a con
tract or receipts to send them to us at
once and we will see if we can save their
property, that is if they care to finish
paying for it after they get it released
from the mortgage.
We can secure something where there
is a contract or receipts. We ask no fee
from tills class of claimants, until we
have saved their property; then tho fee
will not exceed $2, and possibly not that
much.
We will not promise to secure the re
turn of any money already paid on iand,
but we will try to secure proper credit
and get a release so that all may safely
complete payment, if they so desire.
Lot all who desire to act send me
thoir papers at onco. Also give full
address so that these papers can be
returned after they have boon presented
to tho company to bo identified.
Hoping to have a hearty response, I
am, yours, J. B. Doty, Socretary,
Milmay Protective Association.

Philadelphia Export Exposition.
The National Export Exposition,
which opened at Philadelphia Thursday,
was not any more complete in Its prep
aration for that evont than such
exhibitions are usually. When every
thing is in place and in order, however,
it will be an imposing display gathered
in buildings of great magnitude and
impressive architecture and decoration.
The purpose of this exhibition is to
spread knowledge of our agricultural
and mechanical industries and products
throughout tho markets of tho world,
and thus extend and increase our ex
ports. Already these have grown to
enormous amounts, the increase in our
exportation of manufactures being es
pecially great; but this volume can still
bo multiplied speedily, for the superior
ity of American methods of manufac
turing gives us an advantage in com
petition with foreigners which only
needs to be better understood by the
outside world to create such a demand.

A 801 l telephone in an air-tight

joyed to receive a quick response. With
difficulty he stammered his predicament
to the operator, who told him to keep
up his courage.

was told of Philips' peril. Within five
minutes Raup readied the hotel and
opened the closet. Phillips, who had
collapsed, was removed from tho death
trap and fresh air revived him.
