Believed That the Miners' Officials and Anthracite Magnates Will Soon Ar rive at an Understanding. Tho dark clouds which have for the past few weeks been hovering over the anthracite coal field, and by their pres ence have caused an uneasiness that has penetrated every avenue of business and trado, are now, from reports which can be considered authentic, almost ready to pass away. From reliable sources it Is learned that the silence maintained by the an thracite coal magnates has been broken, and that tho ofTicials of the United Mine Workers and the representatives of the mining industry will soon, if they are not already together, meet in confer ence to discuss the questions of right and equity which were raised by tho recent convention at Hazleton. During the past forty-eight hours the sponsors of the capital and labor inter ested in the anthracite coal business have transacted business which has paved the way for a better understand ing on both sides, and, whilo the work done is not yet in shape to present in full to the public at large, it is no viola tion of confidence to state that President Mitchell and tho three district presidents have succeeded in obtaining assurances from some of the leading people on the side of capital that the miners' claims, as set forth in the resolutions adopted in convention, are entitled to consideration, and that a time and place have been set to give the union officials an opportunity to present these claims before represen tatives of the operators. The officers and members of the union have steadily claimed that ail that is necessary to convince their employers of the justice of their claims, especially their demand for a uniform wage scale, is an opportunity to meet the operators in conference. That the miners will bo able to substantiate with abundant proofs the position they have taken is not doubted by themselves or their friends. Nevertheless, knowing that they have a wily and crafty opposition to deal with, the United Mine Workers are not neglecting preparations to be ready to make a determined stand for their rights, should the conference to be held fail to bring about such a settlement as every resident of the coal region hopes for. The men are opposed to striking, and will do overylhing consist ent with dignity and honor to avoid such a struggle, but if the contest comes to a point whero the choice must be made between striking or surrendering their claims, the strike will bo called and willingly obeyed. President Mitchell and District Presi dents Fahey, of Pottsville; Duffy, of McAdoo, and- Nicbolls, of Nanticeke, arrived In Now York city from Scranton on Saturday. They established head quarters at the Ashland House, and their program for today includes a meet ing with J. Pierpont Morgan at the latter's office. At this meeting an agree ment will be reached for or agafnst the holding of a future session. PRIEST OPPOSES A STRIKE. Rev. J. J. Curran, president of the Scranton Catholic Temperance Union and pastor of a large congregation at Wilkesbarre, took strong ground yester day against a miners' strike. His con gregation is composed almost entirely of miners. In his address to his parish ioners he said the miners had not yet recovered from the last striko, and it would be almost suicidal to engage in another strike so soon. How to Keep Your Friends. "The less you exact of your friends the more they will give you." writes Helen Watterson Moody of "The First Tragedy in a Girl's Life," in the April Ladies' Home Journal. "For yourself give as richly and as nobly as you want to—of your love and your confidence and your loyalty. Live up to your highest ideal of what a friend should bo (and the higher you make that ideal the finer woman you will be and the more friends will flock to you), but never exact of your friends that they shall give you M ISCKLLANKOUS ADVERTISEMKNTB. i \BTBGTIVBS -Men wanted; experience 1J not necessary; if experienced state par ticulars.

"If aoine one you love disappoints you, and as many, many more will do in days to come, do not hold up your ideal of what they should bo and do as a mirror in which to count their imperfections. Let it pass, if you can, with a little smile tiiat may be sad, but need not be at all satirical. And never be jealous of a friend if you want to keep one. "If anybody you are fond of forms other friendships, or seems to be en grossed with other friends, do not let it make you unhappy, and above all never offer comment upon her all too evident neglect of her old friends for her new ones." Rendered Good Music. No entertainment conducted this sea son by the Mining and Mechanical Insti tute gave more pleasure to the friends of the school than the engagement of the Royal Hungarian orchestra, which appeared here Saturday evening. The music was without question the finest ever rendered in Freeland by a similar organization, and even those who acknowledge that they know but little of music were profoundly impressed with the evening's entertainment. Last night a sacred concert was given by the orchestra, and was attended by a small but very appreciative audience. The members left this morning for Binghampton, N. Y, where they are engaged to play this evening. Will Play in Big Leagues. Bernard McFadden, of Villanova col lege, is spending a few days in Freeland.

The Italian and Tirolese Catholic church on Fern street was consecrated yesterday morning by Rev. M. J. Falli hee in the presence of a large number of people. He was assisted by the pas tor, Rev.

The church has been tastily furnished and equipped with a handsome altar and organ, and the Italian and Tirolese residents of the community are taking a great deal of interest in its future. The church will be known as St. Anthony's. Contesting for Stewardship. The poor directors are in session at Laurytown today and it is expected that a successor will be chosen to fill the vacancy at the almshouso caused by the resignation of Steward Wells.

The three members of the board are Republi cans. Will of George Bird. The will of George Bird, late of Free-' land, was probated at Wiikesbarre on Saturday.

Around the coffin in which lay the body of the Infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Waytkosky, at their home in Scranton, were a number of lighted wax candles. One of the neighbors came in last night, bent over to kiss the lips of tho dead child and knocked one of the lighted tapers into the coffin. The coffin decorations and the grave clothes of the child flamed up in an in stant. The body of the child was charred in many places, but it was saved from cremation. Mrs. Mary E. Mabey, of Mill Creek, fired three shots at a man wbo is alleged to have broken into her hotel early Sat urday morning and wounded him severely in the right side. Mrs. Mabey stood at the top of the steps and ordered the man out of the house. He threw three oil lamps at her and then started to climb the stairs. The wounded man was taken to the hospital. Prof. Ivison, of Lonaconing, Md., suffered terribly from neuralgia of the stomach and indigestion for thirteen years and after the doctors failed to cure him they fed him on morphine.

Taylor, whose hus band last week broke out of Pottsville jail, but was recaptured, has filed an ap plication for divorce in Schuylkill coun ty court. Taylor, from tho time of his recapture until yesterday, refused food, intending, he said, to starve himself to death. He lias since changed his mind. Three hundred miners of the Clear Spring colliery, Pittston, narrowly es caped death by suffocation on Saturday. Only the prosence of mind of a mine boss, who rushed messengers to other sections of the workings, saved the men from being overcome by gas.
