Can be fitted and suited here.
We have clothes made for the
"hard to fits" and we fit them.
Many stout and slim men who give
up trying to buy clothes ready
made, come here and find exactly
what they want. If you are an
extra tall, short or fat man come
and see what we can do for you.
We'll surprise you with the
clothes; possibly more with the
prices—for, being unusual in
shape, you've had to pay a penalty
to your tailor. We do away with |
that and charge you no more than i
we do the ordinary built man. t
We also have a large line of
Ladies' and Gents' Furnishings, I
Hats, Caps, Neckties, Dry Goods, [
Notions, etc. Large line of
Trunks and Suit Cases.

First Meeting Today.
The first meeting of the Board of Con
ciliation which Is to adjust the differ
ences between the mine workers and
the operators will be held in Wllkes
barro today. The preliminary organiza
tion is to be effected, the arrangements
made for holding further meetings and
the seventh man or umpire may be
selected. Rules will also be drawn up to
govern the work of the board.
It is understood that at the outset
there will be a conflict of opinion.
Messrs. Luther, Warrlner and Connell
are understood to deem It best for the
board to confine Its work to the adjust
ment of the questions of greatest impor
tance only and to desire that all others
be settled directly at the collieries by
the mine workers and the collieries'
officials.
The mine workers' representatives,
Messrs. Dettrey, Nichols and Fahey
FREELAND, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 1903.
oppose this, believing that there are
many questions of details which cannot
be properly settled at the collieries and
which should be adjusted by the board.
The conciliators adjourned at 3 o'clock
this afternoon, but refused to divulge
any of the business transacted at the
meeting.
Board of Trade Meeting.
The weekly meeting of the Hoard of
Trade was held last evening with Vice
President Edward Murphy in the chair.
The reports of the several committees
wore encouraging, especially those hav
ing to do with new Industries, railroads
and trolleys.
The work of the Industrial committee
is progressing encouragingly, but is
! somewhat hampered by the committee
not yet being able to assure as good
railroad facilities as are desired by cer
tain manufacturers who are willing to
consider Freeland as a site for their
plants.
The railroad committee is working
upon plans which are confidently ex
pected to mature successfully and which
will make the town a better railroad
centre than ever In its history.
The report of the trolley committee
contained the information already an
nounced, viz., that an ordinance enabl
ing the Lehigh Traction Company to
its tracks to Front street will be
presented to council at the meeting of
tfye borough legislators next Monday
evening.

were chosen as follows: President, Rev.
Anthony Kallzinckl, Minersvllle; secre
taries, Rev. J. V. Kudyrka, Kingston,
and Rev. V. Dargis, Minersvllle.
Many mine workers are in favor of
erecting the proposed monument to the
Lattluier martyrs in Courthouse square
at Wllkesbarre. They conteifd that
Lattluier is au out-of-way town and that
the monument there would not have the
effect that they wish it to have.

to Inspect the collieries of the Lehigh
and Wllkesbarre Company, but was dis
appointed to find nearly all of them shut
down owing to the visit of a circus.

The contract for the construction of

had boon granted.
Four hundred and twenty-five for
eigners were naturalized at Wilkesbarre
on Monday. This Is the largest number
ever branded as citizens in Luzerne
county in one day.
Big Demand for Coal.
From Today's North American.
Consumers are absorbing anthracite
coal as fast as it can be mined. Pres
ent indications are that the railroad
coal companies will succeed In stocking
very little coal between now and winter.
The production of anthracite aggre
gates about 5,000,000 tons a month now,
which Is a normal, not a maximum,
output.
There Is unusual demand for domestic
sizes, particularly from New England
dealers, who aro complaining that they
cannot fill their orders with the supply
of coal they aro getting.
There is some accumulation of pea
and buckwheat coal, partly explained
by the fact that there is no discount on
steam sizes to tempt buying in adyance.
On June 1 the discount allowed on pre
pared coal will drop to 30 cents a
ton and the retail price will be ad
vanced 10 cents to $0 45 a ton.
