LEHIGH VALLEY STRIKE.
Section Men Demand an Increase in Wages
and Quit Their Work.
Fifteen hundred section men and
gravel train employes of tho Lehigh
Valley Railroad laid down their tools at
9 o'clock Monday morning, and all labor
in those departments between Mauch
Chunk and Buffalo came to a standstill.
The men quit without any demonstra
tion and quietly left their accustomed
places of toll to await tho result of a
conference between their committee and
General Superintendent Kollin 11. Wii
bur. They struck for an increase in
wages of 3 cents per hour.
The men have been getting 51. 20 for
a ten-hour day. Two weeks ago some
of tho men wont over the line for the
purpose of "sounding" their fellows in
regards to making a demand for an in
crease to 01.50 per day. Tho men were
cordially received everywhere, the
general conclusion being reached thai
a striko be ordered, if necessary, to
secure the advanco in wages.
In accordance with the general
understanding the strike was set for 9
o'clock Monday morning, and promptly
at that hour every man along the line
quit work. The Lehigh coal region
division was not affected by tho strike,
as it is mostly foreign-speaking work
men who are employed hero.
Up to the present there Is no change
in tho situation.

cites innumerable cases to sustain his
views, which are antagonistic to trusts.

most prominent Republicans in his sec
tion, and has been formerly a firm sup

Another Treat lu Store.
The appreciation shown for the two
splendid (lower pictures given froo to
readers of the Philadelphia Sunday

which is quite as attractive as the
famous "Yard of Roses" and "Easter
Lillles" pictures, is callod "A Basket of
Blossoms." It is by tho famous Paul
De Longpre, and Is one of his best
works. It is 20 by 28 inches in size and
is also noteworthy as being the first
example of a new method of color print
lug, which is quite as wonderful as the
picture Itself. The publishers guaran
tee that every picture will be perfect.
There is certain to be a great demand
for next Sunday's Press, hence It will
be well for all who want this picture to
order their copy In advance.
BUILDINGS IN DANGER.
Lackawanna Courthouse nntl Other Struc
tures May (Jo Down.
Owing to the close proximity of the
abandoned mine workings of the Lacka
wanna Iron and Coal Company in the
central part of Scranton and the crush
ing of props and splintering of pillars
by tho erection of heavy buildings, the
commissioners of Lackawanna county
have found it necessary to build up the
coal space in the mines with solid
masonery under the site of tho new
#50.000 soldiers' monument on the court
houso plot and are asking for bids for
tho work.
Tho Clark vein under the courthouse
square Is from eight to twelve feet thick.
The coal from it was mined out. The
coal in all of the veins beneath the Clark
vein—the Clark Is nearest the surface—
Is reserved, and when once this Is made
secure all danger will be removed.
The commissioners are also consider
ing the advisability of erecting pillars
under the courthouse, also, as the sur
face Is considered very unsafe. All of
the central part of tho city is under
mined save a few small reservations.
The precautions taken by the commis
sioners now Is alarming tho owners of
the heavy buildings, and tho building up
of the abandoned mines is liable to be
come general, as the slightest cave-in
would destroy an Immense amount of
property.
Soft Coal Going to Europe.
The Italian government has purchas
ed 1,000,000 tons of bituminous coal from
United States Senators Elkins and
Davis, of Wost Virginia, both of whom
have extensive mining Interests in their
states. Tho coal Is sent by rail from
West Virginia to Newport News, where
it is loaded on chartered vessels, which
are carrying it to Italian ports.
As showing the scarcity of coal on the
other side it is significant that the
Italian agent while in this country tried
to arrange for the purchase of Ameri
can coal lands with the proposition that
his government send men here to mine
tho coal. The plan wont so far that a
tract of coal land was picked out and a
price sot upon it, but suvoral obstacles
arose, chief among them tho contract
labor law.
The fact the Italian government
wanted to buy coal lands is considered
as proof that tho export of American
coal is likely to continue. Italy former
received her principal coal supply from
England, France and Belgium. In all
those countries the supply is behind the
demand, owing to the fact that no new
ceal territory is in sight, and the old is
being rapidly worked out.
Why So Many Young Men Full.
"One trouble with many young rnon
who start out in business is they try to
do too many things at once," says Ilotty
Green, "The Richest Woman in Ameri
ca," in the June Ladies' Home Journal.
"Tho result is that, they don't know as
much as they ought to about any one ;
thing, and they naturally fall. The
trouble with young men who work on
salaries is that they're always afraid
of doing more than they're paid for. j
They don't enter into their work with !
the right spirit. To get on and be ap- !
predated a young man must do more
than lie's paid to do. When he does
something that his employer has not
thought of ho shows that he is valuable.
Men are always willing to pay good
salaries to people who will think of
things for them. The man who only
carries out tho thoughts aud ideas of
another is nothing more than a more
tool. Men who can bo relied upon are
always in demand. Tho scarcest thing
in the world today is a thoroughly re
liable man.
Mrs. Annie Watkins, of Plymouth,
claims that Mrs. Mary A. Barnes, a
Wilkesbarre widow, alienated her hus
band's affections, and has commenced
suit against her for #20,000. William

PAWNEE BILE'S SHOW
WORLD'S GREATEST WILD WEST TO
BE HERE TOMORROW.
Wonderful and Realistic Exhibition of
Frontier Life-Performance Given IM
Most Exciting and Bent of 11 Kind on
the Road— Sketch of the Great Show.
From the Kenton, Ohio, Democrat.
Pawnee Bill's Wild West show ar
rived in town Wednesday morning, aud
those who saw tho grand street pageant
in tho forenoon and witnessed tho
marvelous afternoon performance wero
quite willing to accept the claim tiiat
the enterprise is the best wild west
show in tho country.
Tho parade was witnessed by a large
crowd of people who had collected on
tho streets somo time before the
scheduled time and wore eagerly await
ing its coming. Nor were they disap
pointed, for everything that they ad
vertised was present in the parade.
Pawnee Bill's show is surely a won
derful exhibition and shows in the most
exciting manner the dangerous life of
our early ancestors in the far West.
All the frontier scenes are very realisti
cally shown to the great amusement of
the spectators. The gorgeous brillian
cy of the circus, fascinating us with its
striking colors, but cannot stir up the
same interest as the realistic presenta
tion of the early life on tho frontier.
The anticipation of the spectators
were great nor wore they disappoint
ed, for the performance was all that It
was represented to be. Tho enthusiasm
of the people over the riding, shooting,
banging, and iirlng of the hut; the excit
ing chase between cowboys and the
Indians, who captured an emigrant
train, found enthusiastic expressions.
Tho bill is one of the best that has
ever been aeon here, and aside from the
usual feats of horsemanship and other
distinctively "Wild West'' numbers,
probably the troup of acrobats aroused
the most enthusiasm in the audience.
They were far beyond tho average and
merited groat applause. Their tumbling
was of the ••rapid-lire" order.
Then there was tho prairie schooner
with its customary legend, "Pike's Peak
or Host." The donkeys, which the
small boys caressed so affectionately
during the street parade, trotted around
contented behind tho "schooner," and
during tho excitement of tho attack by
tho Indians and the rescue hy the cow
boys calmly munched hay as though
thero was nothing else in life to do.
After this cowboys and Indians raced
and a few moments later fought des
perately over the ruins of a settler's
home. An example of rough border
justice was afforded when a horse thiol'
was captured and later made to orna
ment a convenient telegraph pole after
having been dragged around tho arena
at the end of a lariat. Cavalrymen,
representing various nations, gave ex
hibitions of fancy riding. Naturally
Pawnee Pill was a personage of inter
est, and gave a clever exhibition that
attracted attention.
A reporter called on Pawnee Hill and
his press agent, at tho show grounds in
the morning, and found them both to be
very genial and courteous. Major Lillio
himself, who Is unlike most men of re
pute in the fact that he tries to be as
ordinary as possible, notwithstanding
that he is a hero of tho west and a scholar,
one finds him to be very modest and most
agreoablo. Naturally he fools proud of
his exhibition and why shouldn't he? It
is indeed a wonderful exhibition and
worthy of the greatest praise.
Something that is out of the ordinary
on the show grounds is the scarcity of
swindlers, frauds and tho like. Mr.
Lily does not permit those on tho show
grounds and consequently is not follow
ed by them. This is quite unusual, but
is always highly appreciated by tho
public, and we are suro tho manage
ment will be givon the greatest credit
for taking such precaution.
Pawnee Hill will exhibit his show at
the Hirvanton grounds, Freeland, to
morrow afternoon and evoning. Ad
mission, 25 cents.
