STAR SHOE STORE, HUGH IIALLOV, PBOP., Centre and Walnut Streets. FLEE LAND, PA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1901. TRIBUTE TO FALLEN CHIEF Freeland. Honors Memory of Dead President. Procession and Memorial Exercises Conducted in a Manner Creditable to the Town and the Occasion. Freeland yesterday afternoon paid its last tribute to the memory of President McKinley, and tbo people of town may feel proud of the magnitude of the ex ercises and the manner in which they were conducted. At an early hour the town took on a Sunday appearance, and when noontime had arrived business of every descrip tion had como to an end for the day. By common consent operations at all the surrounding collieries were suspend ed, and in response to the wishes of the local committee every industrial estab lishment and workshop in town was idle. Never before in the history of Free land was there shown such respect for any person, renowned or unknown. Every business house, great and small, was closed; trallie of all kinds was sus pended, and the real and honest emo tion felt by all the people was evident on all sides. The program prepared by the com mittee was carried out with but slight variation. The procession was by far the most notable of its kind that has over traversed the streets of tho bor ough. With few exceptions, all the members of the societies of town were in the line, marching, however, as American citizens rather than as mem bers of their respective organizations. A conservative estimate of the adults in the procession places the number at 3,500. In addition to these, there were 1,750 school children, and from the little tots in the front ranks to tho Lligh school pupils in tho rear, all seemed to fully realize tho significance of the affair. None of the local churches held ser vices, as tho exercises provided for one grand gathering of all denominations ; and all classes, irrespective of creed or nationality, and the good judgment in j doing so was shown by a view of the immense throng which assembled at tin; Public park, where the procession ended. The services there wore carried out to the letter, and were listened to by over 8,000 people, and the several clergymen, musical organizations and others who had been assigned to speak or furnish music performed their duty in a most creditable manner. Memorial services were held yester day morning at St. James* I*. E. church, Driftou. Tho services included singing by the choir, prayers, and an appro priate! address by Rev. F. Marshall.

They offered some concessions from the original demands, but the of ficials refused those and at a meeting of the strikers it was decided to declare all negotiations for a settlement off. Andrew Benaskf, a miner employed at the Boston colliery of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad at Plymouth, was instantly killed by being buried beneath five tons of rock. Thirty-three years ago W. J.

Death of Wiliiam B. O'Donnell. The news of the death of William B. D'Donoell, at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick O'Donuel), Ridge street, at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, was a shock and surprise to the com munity. The young man had been ail ing for the past year with kidney trouble. During the cold weather last waiter he was lying for death, but recovered and was ablt to move about and apparently was gaining strength. Wednesday even ing a change was noticed in his condi tion, but he arose yesterday morning. Later ho returned to his bud and shortly after doing so he passed into the sleep from which there is no awakening. He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick O'Donnell; two sisters, Mrs. William Purcell and Katie, and four brothers, Rev. It. J.

Bears tho /> "w Kind You Ham Always Bought "rr C AHTOriTA. Boars tho BoucM THEATRICAL Willis Granger, the romantic young actor, will assume the leading role in a '•Secret Warrant." France under the Bourbons was victimized by many cor rupt practices; one of the most dreaded instruments was the Lettro do Cachet, which might easily be obtained by a court favorite. In many cases the Secret Warrant would be Issued in blank. A courtesan In favor with the king might fill in a name and secure the arrest of a most worthy person, who would bo forthwith Incarcerated in the Basfclle, and In many cases never heard of again. From this circumstance W. A. Tremayne has evolved a powerful romance. The above is a brief des cription of tbo play. At the Grand opera house, September 26. X X X The Chinese-American play, "The King of the Opium Ring," which demon stratod that it had several meritorious features by drawing crowds nightly for six weeks to the Academy of Music, New York, will be the attraction at Grand opera house in the near furure. X X X "Pennsylvania" is a new play whose incidents occur In tho neighborhood of Wilkesbarre and are said to have a foundation of fact. It is to have a handsome scenic production at tho Grand opera house shortly. The play has been written jointly by Daniel L. Hart, of Wilkesbarre, and C. E. Calla han. Though touching on the labor question incidentally, and having a very thrilling strike scene it is not a "labor" play. The story turns upon a law peculiar to this state, and is dramatic and true to nature. There is a mine scene in which real coal cars aro used, and a remarkably realistic explosion. In the company presenting "Pennsyl vania" are included Willis Marble, Jr., Geo. K. Ilenery, Clyde Hess, Dorothy Lewis, other clever artists, and the Black Diamond Quartette. X t X At the opera house last night Prof. Svingali continued to amuse bis patrons, and at the closing of the performance placed one of his subjects in a hypnotic trance. Tho sleeper was .removed to the window of the Press office, where lie will lie until the time selected to re move him to the opera house to bo awakened tonight. Doings in Court.

So l'rominfli the Sunday North American, the Firiifc Number of Which Will lie Out September '4O. The North American announces that on September 21) it will began the pub lication of a Sunday edition. Prevail ing conditions demand of each metro* polican paper an issue every day in the year, and the North American is sen sibly obeying that demand. Rumors of this innovation have already been heard and speculation as to what it will be like is keen. The North American when it does anything, does It better than any one else, and in the matter of a Sunday paper the same rule Is expected to apply. For one thing, the North American promises that its Sunday edition will be "different." The standard of text and illustration will hit as high as that of any monthly magazine. It will not be "cheap" in any sense. The North American's motto is, "A sensible Sun day newspaper." It will strivo, of course, to be interesting and entertain ing. The spocial writers and artists are of the first rank and the magnifi cent mechanical equipment of the North American insures perfect printing. As to t he details of the paper itself this must known. There will be four color ed supplements in addition to the news sections and sheet music. There will he a supplement of eight pages in colors, devoted exclusively to women's interests, a comic section of four pages in colors, a magazine section of twelve pages in colors a sixteen-page supplement in colors explain ng the involved and vari ed processes of making a newspaper. The first Sunday North American will probably consist of seventy-six pages, of which thirty-two will he used for news. Ice cream soda at Keiper's TR I-WEEKLY STOP!
