CALLING A HALT,

With Grand Master Powderly of the
Knights of Labor antagonizing the
present strikes in the southwest and
Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers not less out
spoken in his condemnation of the
movement, it is probable that the
strikers will now recede from their de.
mands and give in.
Mr.. Arthur protests that there is no
sufficient ground for their recent action.
Mr.. Powderly is equally explicit in de-
claring that the occasion is not yet and
counsels patience. Both are known to
be conservative and levelheaded, and
there is much that Is reassuring in
what they say about the organizations
at the head of which they stand. 1t
will tend to put men more on their
guard against attempting to inforce
unwise or unwarrantable demands by
unwise or unwarrantable measures.
Judging from the statements of these
gentlemen there is little cause to fear
any violent uprising. Mr.. Powderly's 5
denial that there will be general strike
ordered on the lst of May, or at any
other time, to secure eight hours as the
limit of days work, will bring about
a feeling OF more confidence among
builders, contractors and manufac.
turers who are formulating their plans
for the spring and summer work. Mr.
Powderly says that the times are moi
yet ripe for the Inauguration of an
eight-hour movement The movement
in that direction must be gradual. Al
ready four Baltimore firms have taken
steps TO avoid any possible trouble on
that account by voluntarily conceding
TO their people eight hours instead of
ten as days work. These four firms
employ in the aggregate 1000 people.
Similar steps will probably be taken

THE FAREWELL.

oh thou, whose cherished image seems
A portion of my heart,
Whose eyes of light make glad my dreams,
Farewell, for now we part.
The sail is swelling in the bay
That bears me on my distant way,
For years to rove the dreary sea-
For years-and think of only thee.
Yet will that beauteous imagine make
The dreary sea less drear,
And thy remembered smile will wake
The hope that tramples fear,
When shall face the tempest's wrath,
Or struggle through the dangerous path
Where the blue icebergs vast and steep,
Drifting and dashlng, crowd the deep.
Then, too when Heaven with clouds Is darl
And wild winds sweep the vale,
Wilt thou not think of him whose bark
Strives with the polar galei
wilt thou not think, and softly pray
For the sea wanderer far away,
That all his tolls and perls DER,
His hand may clasp thy hand once morey
But shoudst thou hear no more of me,
or hear that have died
And sleep within that icy sea,
Or on Its desert side,
VIII not pang thy bosom press,
Even In thy pride Of loveliness
tear In thy sweet eyelids shine
For him whose latest thought was thinei

was delighted with his trip to the

This "Art Studies" given at Granite Hall
last evening under the auspices of the La
dies Aid Society of st. Marks church were
entertaining in high degree, possessing
many unique and new features, which made
the evening an exceedingly enjoyable one.
The attendance ras very satisfactory as to
numb, r. and thu hIl was well filled. The
program has air, ady been published and it
was admirably carried out under the direc-
ton OF Mr.. G. B. Bartlett of Concord, Mass,
who is thoroughly conversant with his bust
ness and an artist of much ability and ex-
tended experience. The entertainment con-
sisted of n series of tableaux, statuary repre-
sensations, etc., following each other in rapid
succession, the participants being young
ladies and gentlemen, largely the former, Of
this city. We cannot speak too highly of the
tabeaux, and they were very creditable to
the Young ladies taking part. The postures
were very graceful, the grouping effective,
and the costumes rich, making the scenes
very striking and vivid. The representations
of statuary were superior and the audience
wondered at the perfection reached. Seem
ingly the figures were chiseled from marble.
The Dresden and studio pictures were pretty
as well as artistic. The Nursery Gems dance
was pleasing and the closing pantomine made
everybody laugh. Generous applause was
awarded Refreshments were served during
half an hours intermission. The music was
first class, being furnished by the famous
Togus orchestra. Tonight at the hall some
of the best numbers on last evenings pro-
gram will be reproduced and Dickens Cos
morama will be presented. There will also
be orchestral music. The entertainment
cannot fail to be an enjoyable one and large
attendance is predicted.

Bailey Praying Band.

A deep religious interest is being felt In
Pittston. The Bailey praying band are hold
ing meetings with the Methodist church and
during the past week the interest has been
daily increasing. On Sunday last the house
filled to Overlooking, at the evening service
settees and chairs were brought in to accom-
modate as many as possible. Every seat was
quickly taken and great many people went
away not being able to find room inside. Mr.
c. Nj. Bailey was present and conducted the
services. Evangelists Allen and Jones were
deeply interesting. There have already
been many conversions and the church has
been greatly revived.
