FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1899.
"Faust" Last Evening.
Lewis Morrison's "Faust" was pro
duced at the Grand opera house last
evening. Of the play, which is now so
well known to opera-goers everywhere,
little need be said beyond the noting
of the fact that it was all that the
management of the company and the
house had promised for it. Every char
acter was in capable hands, the cos
tomes were in keeping with the high
tone of the people who wore them, the
special scenery was a mass of beautiful
and artistic work, and the scenic effects,
especially the Brocket) scene, were
really wonderful.
The attendance exceeded all expecta
tions and certainly entitles Freeland to
a place in the list of towns where high
class plays are appreciated. Notwith
standing the advance in prices, every
seat in the building was sold before the
curtain rose. Later the sales of admis
sion to the gallery were suspended, as
no more could be squeezed into that
portion of the house, and at 8.30 o'clock
comfortable standing room was at a
premium in every part of the building.
The total number of admissions amount
ed to 1,108 and the gross receipts were
$478.15
Evangelistic Services.
The various churches of town will |
unite with the V. M. C. A. In holding
ovangelistic services during the next j
three weeks. For tho first week, be- |
ginning with tomorrow evening, the j
meetings will be held in the Baptist;
church. The evening services will be
gin at 7.30 o'clock.
On Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock a
men's meeting will bo held in St. John's
Reformed church.
This series of meetings will be In
charge of Messrs. Armstrong and Bry- j
den, who have labored so successfully
elsewhere, assisted by tho ministers of
the local churches. It Is urgently re
quested that all Christian workers of
town shall be present at all these meet
ings and help in every possible way to
make thorn a power for good.
WIICD You May Hunt.

ies are made in reference to tho game

Two Large Funerals,

with the sad occasion. The Daughters |
of Mary Sodality attended the funeral

Delighted with a letter from her hus
band inviting her to witnoss the Dewey

fifteen minutes after tho receipt of tho

boaring the sad message of her hus
band's death in a wreck on the Long
Island Railroad, where ho began work
ing four weeks ago. Ilor husband until
recently was a prominent Lehigh Valloy
firemen, Brotherhoodman and chiof of
the East End firo company of Hazleton.
Social Laot Evening.
At the residence of Rev. J. B. Kersch
ner last evening a goodly number of
members of St. John's Reformed church
gathered and held a most pleasant
social meeting. Tho visit was a decided
surprise to the family of Rev. Kersch
ner, and as everybody brought along a
substantial token of their good will the
evening hours were spent in a manner
highly agreeablo to all. At a season
able hour tho assemblage dispersed
after brief devotional services.
West l'ittiiton Strike Ended.
The strike at tho Stovens' colliery, in

ed in a fatal riot a few weeks ago, has
been settled. Tho original demand of
the strikers was for an increase from 90
to $1.20 per car, but after numerous con

Model Towns Not Successful.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The announcement that a big Chicago
coal dealer intends to erect In this state
a model mining town along the lines
that Pullman presented as a manu
facturing centre is most interesting to
those who have followed the fate of a
number of similar enterprises. Mode)
towns without number have been start
ed, and without number have failed to
perpetuate themselves, and their gloomy
ruins dot the state from end to end.
For a timo each has experienced its
period of prosperity and then it has
faded away, its people have left and
only a few deserted houses mark the
spots where they have been located.
In Pullman there was no trouble so
long as the man who started the town
lived, but With his death it was found
that the corporation which succeeded in
the control of his estate could not run a
factory and a town at the same timo,
and so the model town that was has
passed into the hands of regular politi
cal parties organized to run it.
If the Chicago man wants to start a
model town in this state we say that lie
is more than welcome, but unless he
prolits by the failures of the past his
town will last only so long as he is
personally able to direct it.
Flooding tlie Dodson Mine.
The water which is boing poured into
the Dodson shaft at Plymouth to drown
out the fire has roached a point fifty-six i
feet high in the shaft and is now pouring
into the Cooper, the Ponnett and the
live-foot veins. It is estimated that by
Saturday the fire will be roached. The
water will be allowed to remain a few
weeks and then will be pumped out, and j
this will take several months. It is not
certain that the fire will be quenched,
for the water may be held back from it
by air or gas. In this case it will have
to be Hooded again and then a bore hole
sunk as a vent for the imprisoned air
and gases.
Nino big pumps are now at work and
they empty into the mine thirteen mil
lion gallons of water every twenty-four
hours.
The Lance colliery adjoining is shut
down and will remain so until the water
is all pumped out of the Dodson, owing
to the danger of it broaking through
the separating pillar and drowning the
miners.
I'uper and Leather Going Up.
Newspaper has gone up a quarter of
a cent a pound within the last three
weeks. The tendency is to raise- the
jirlco still higher. The advance is
made by the big paper mill trust, which
has a monopoly on account of the high
tariff preventing foreign paper coming
hero. Hook paper has also gone up
a quarter of a cent a pound and letter
paper over 1 cent a pound.
The price of shoe leather has gone up
from 3H to 5 per cent within the last
wook. A sharper advance still has
been made in the price of crudo sole
leather. For two months the cost has
boon steadily going up and it has ad
vanced G cents per pound abovo the
market prico paid in August. Still
higher prices are looked for by manu
facturers. The increased cost is due to
the greed of the leather trust.
A Surplus of Pedagogues.
As usual, the state normal schools are
crowded, remarks the Philadelphia
Press. At Ploorosburg over GOO stu
dents are in attendance, and the gradu
ating class is larger than any in the his
tory of the institution. IP they all re
ceive diplomas next spring, 2. r l teachers
will be turned out, enough to supply a
whole county. What is to become of all
the brand new pedagogues that are bo
ing trained for service? Pennsylvania
contains thirteen normal schools, and
the product of these institutions, to
gether with instructors who are pre
pared for educational work in other
channels, is certainly far greater than
the resignations and vacancies warrant.
Sandy Run llrick Won.
The Sandy Run Prick Company won
a victory in court on Monday through
an important doclsion rendered by
Judge Ilalsey. When the Pittston
council decided to use shale brick for
the paving of ono of the city's streets
and the contract for furnishing the
brick was awardod to the Sandy Run
company, an injunction was taken out
by a number of citizens restraining the
council from using the Sandy Run
brick. Judge Ilalsey dlssolyed the
injunction and the Sandy Run company
will now fill Its contract.
