TONIGHT'S PLAY.
Mildred Holland and Her Company Have
Arrived in Town.
Mildred Holland and her company
arrived in town this morning aftor an
all-night ride from Cortland, N. Y.,
n-horo they played last evening.
Tonight they will present the noted
romantic drama, "The Power Behind
the Throne," for the first time before a
Freeland audience.
Wherever this company has appeared
they have left behind them satisfied
theatre-goers and a demand from the
opera house managers for dates next
soason. The drama it pronounced by
expert critics to be the best of its class
placed on the stage this soason. It will
be given in Freeland under a contract
which provides that the company shall
receive $450 for the performance, which
is the highest price ever guaranteed for
one performance in this county.
There are a number of desirable 9ats
on both the first and second floors that
can yet be obtained. The sale so far
has been encouraging to the manage
ment, but the house is not yet sold out,
notwithstanding the rumors circulated
to this effect.
Work on Mine Fire.
Tremendous efTorts are now being
made to extinguish the fire which lias
been burning for forty-two years in a
mine at Summit Hill. The mine is the
property of the Lehigh Coal and Navi
gation Company, aud caught firo on
February 9, 1859, in a gangway, after
an explosion of gas.
A darn has been built at Nesquehon
ing, and thero wet coal dirt and culm is
•cooped into pipes and flushed into the
workings where the fire rages at the
rate of thirty or forty tons a day. It
is expected that this will eventually
choke the fire.
Turned Up for His Share.
A sensational story eomes from New
Castle, l'a., concerning a young man
named Abner Davis, who is said to have
mysteriously disappeared from his home
in Nantleoke over fifteen years ago.
Despite diligent search and inquiry by
his father and relatives nothing was
hoard of him until last Saturday—long
after he was given up as dead. Mr.
Davis, Sr., died several years ago and
left a fortune of SIOO,OOO to bo divided
If people only knew what we know
about Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, it would be
used in nearly every household, as there
aro few people who do not suffer from a
feeling of fullness after eating, belching,
flatulence, sour stomach, or water brash,
caused by indigestion or dyspepsia. A
preparation such as Kodol .Dyspepsia
Cure, which, with no aid from the sto
mach? will digest your food, certainly
can't help hut do you good. Grover's

Nine-Hour-Day Party.
At the Lyceum theatre, Scranton,
last night the affiliated unions of ma
chinists, blacksmiths, patternmakers
and machine shop laborers presented a
request for a nine-hour day in a unique
manner. They gave an entertainment
to which they specially invited the
superintendents and foremen of all the
shops in the city. There were ad
| dresses on the advisability of a nine
hour day, which they ask to go into
ofTect tomorrow, and there was a farce
enacted entirely by the members of the
union in which the wild-eyed labor agi
tator and the miilowner and superin
tendent who oppose every progressive
movement of labor were satirized. At
the conclusion of the farce the request
for a nine-hour day was formally pre
sented.

FunnieHt Flight of Fancy.
The most eccentric humorist of the
day, John Kondrlck Bangs, will revive
liis famous "Jitninioboy Stories" in next
Sunday's Philadelphia Press, May 5.
The voyage of Jimroleboy on his "Ski
cycle" is told with a snap and humor
that is inimitable. Among other things
there are some thoughts on riding a
bicycle over a lawn mower; rheumatic
tiros; the Christopher Columbus among
ski bicycles; the dangers of puncturing
tires on church steeples, etc. This
story will be one of the interesting
features of next Sunday's Press. It

ROUND THE REGION.
A political sensation was caused at

their places in the county almhouse all
appointees who were installed on April 1

leaders by acting with Edward Kester,
the Republican member, when the posi
tions were filled a month ago. In the
shake-up, Mr. Kester took tho side of
Henry Becker, the other Democrat.
An attack on Sunday funerals was
made Sunday night by Rev. L. C. Mur

of liverymen and others, and the fact
that a larger attendance can bo had on
the Sabbath Is no justification for It.
