THE COAL TROUBLES.

The Long Strike Drawing Slowly to n Close
Both Parties Tired of the COntest-The
Miners Propose Test the Magnanimiiy OF
the Observation-Disclosures Movement Of
st0rekeepers.
SCRANTON, May s. 1871.
There is little change in public feeling to-day.
although the situation is absolutely no better 10 all
appearances, than yesterday The previous atti-
tude OF the companies affords but little hope that
the earnest efforts made by distinguished citizens to
draw from the representatives OF the companies and
the miners what terms viii be acceptable
to each will prove more efcacous than
those which have been tried before. People,
therefore, are anxiously awaiting The answer
rom the directors of the corporations to the propo
si'loh oi the miners to go to work Immediately ana
leave the question OF wages to arbitration. Many
wen informed persons express an opinion that 1t
WIN be accepted, while Others equally intelligent as
TO the disposition oil the officials say that it Will be
rejected. AS the result will be shown to-
morrow or Monday speculation on the sub
Ject VIII be prodtless. In case the
miners oaer ID rejected | have reason
10 believe that the men VIII propose to 60 into the
mines and test the magnanimty OF their employers
Ihey VIM he encouraged TO do this by assurance of
many company adherents that better terms WI. lie
given them IN case the companies pride is gratifed
TO tnat extent 1t is certain that the long strike
Is drawing slowly TO close, and both parties are
hedging TO save as much as possible Of their pres
tge. Eacn side has failed to accomplish its
object and both are heartily disguised with the
struggle, 50 Tar as they have got. Public sentiment
Is sill strong for the miners but il evident that
sympathy OF that KIND is powerless to prolong the
struggle for any length OF time. 0bGuracy on the
part OF the company may keep the men out until
june; little CONCESSION Will put the miners at work
NJ once and everybody IL trusting that the corpora

An Important meeting was held In Pittston yester-
day. The most influential and largest storekeepers
IN the region embraced between Carb0ndaie and
pittston assembled in council and discussed The
situation in all its bearings. An association was
formed FOR mutual protection This movement is
significant and may have great influence IN the
fui ure OF matters In the coal regions.
the movement to set the miners and laborers by
the ears has fairly COLLAPSED. II only excited the
contempt OF the citizens generally and the deris0n
OF the labOrers themselves.

A RARE INvENTIoN.-Two gentle
men, Anderson and Lundberg, No.
1OS, Chicago avenue, have lately
patented two inventions, both of
which will attract more than ordin-
ary public attention, and doubtless
be to them source of great profit
The one is a safety lock, to be
fastened inside the pocket of ladies'
or gentlemen garments, to prevent
the stealing of pocketbooks or other
valuable things therein. The safety
lock is inserted between the outer
cloth and the lining of the coat or
dress, and is provided with spring,
so as to secure the pOcketbook that
it can't be removed. In taking the
pocket-book from the pocket with
one hand it must be unlocked with the
other by turning spring ring inside
the coat, which spring ring also, for
greater safety, can be taken away at
pleasure-which operation is easily
done by the wearer, but is trouble
some and incOnvenient for the pick
pocket; neither can the pocket-book,
so fastened, be cut ont with a knife.
The other is also a safety lock, made
to prevent the stealing of watches
from vest pockets. Each invention
is cheap, simple, and seems entirely
to suit its purpose. SO We can at
last travel around and mingle in
large crowds without fear of being
robbed by pickpockets. We under
stand that the patentees have taken
measures to secure patents in all the
European countries also, and that
the patents will be offered for sale to
tailors and others in this country

THE STAGE BABY.

The stage baby is thrust upon the
stage as soon as it can walk and I'M
derstands that it must not cry. In
the morning. instead of being sent
to school like other children it is
taken to the theater to rehearse its
part At night it is not allowed to
sleep and build up a constitution for
after life, but the weary puppit
must go through its tricks before Il
crowd of whom it Is afraid. The
stage baby IS forced to do without
food for many consecutive hours. to
tax its memory, and to be beaten if
it torgets.
The applause OF large audience,
50 gratifying to men and women. Is
simply terrifying to child. The
stage baby leads the life OF grown
person. undergoing the harIships Of
the hardest profession in the world,
without any Of the compensation
which older theatricals experience.
such as money. gifts. applause, and
celebrity. The reward of 4 stage

ssThe Calico BaIl.D


Editors Intellgencer.
The impulse which has led to the pro.
posal to hold ball for the benefit of the
sufferers at Chicago was noble. The
names OF the managers, as published, are
those of men who are greatly respected.
We presume, however, the whole move
ment has been made under excitement.
We therefore beg leave tosuggest whether
it would not be better, under the circum-
stances, to omit the ball? Certainly, in
the presence OF such an awful calamity as
has overtaken the city OF Chicago, no one
could really feel like dancing. A ball
will be a very CHASTITY affair, If those who
engage in it think Of the hundreds OF
persons who have persisted in the flames,
Of the tens of thousands who are suffering
for lack of food and clothing and shelter,
and of the hundreds of millions OF prop.
erty which have been Destroyed.
Without presuming to interfere with
the liberty Of any person We would beg
leave very humbly to suggest that il
would be in keeping with the circnm.
stances to omit the ball. Let each gen.
tlemen who proposes to attend, pay his
money to the proper relief committee and
each lady send dress of calico or other
material, the warmer the better-to the
poor sufferers. We are confident that all
charitable persons will in the end be
better satisfied. A CITIZEN.
