STARVING MINERS.
Miners and Their Families Literally
Starving ut Ebervale.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, February
22.-There is terrible distress al
Ebervale, this county. Early in
January the mines in that vicin
ity were flooded. AT first it was
believed that the waters could be
drained out and the mines easily
opened, but attempts 10 carry out
this plan showed its futility and
all efforts in that direction have
been abandoned. The colIiers
employed about fourteen hun
dred persons, and population of
about five thousand were totally
dependent upon the mines for
subsistence. Owing to the de-
pressed condition of the coal trade
the miners were unable to find
work else where, and their condi.
tion and that of their families are
literally appalling. In hundreds
of homes there is nothing to eat
and no prospect of obtaining any
thing, except through charity
Many OF the stores have closed
up. and others refuse 10 sell ex-
cept for cash. The town presents
a deserted appearance. All who
could do so have gone away. but
the large majority have no where
to go and no means of going anv
distance. A relief cammittee has
been appointed to solicit contri-
buttons Of money, food and cloth
ing for the sufferers. James Nc
Ginty, who IS treasurer, said yes
terday that persons in New York,
Wilkesbarre and other places
were soliciting, aid for the suffer.
ers. The mines were operated by
The Ebervale Coal Company. The
land is owned by Philadelphia
The mines are very
valuable. and it is likely that the
land owners will in the spring mn
dertake the task of pumping the
water out and putting the mines
in condition to be worked.

The Mountain Campaigns In
Georgia.

We have received from Jas. M.
Brown, General Passenger Agent
Of the Western & Atlantic Railroad
Co.. Atlanta, Ga an embellished
pamphlet entitled Tho Mountain
Campaigns in Georgia or War
Scenes on the Western & Atlantic I"
Mr.. Brown can MT be too highly
complimented for producing this
valuable work. We append ar ex-
tract from letter of w. T. Sher-
man, on this work, which we think,
sets forth the excellence of the
book: Mr.. Sherman says:
.'The maps are admirable, the
Illustrations are characteristic, and
the text as near the truth as can be
compressed in so small a space. 1
am willing to endorse what You re-
cord-that the Atlanta Campaign
of 1864 would have been impossible
without this road, that all our bat
ties were fought for its possession,
and that the Western & Atlantic
Railroad Of Georgia should be the
pride OF, every true American be
cause, by reason Of its existence the
Union was saved
Il infer you have prepared this
costly pamphlet TO induce travel by
this route, and l will add that the
scenery will fully repay evory low
er..ofnature's beauty and subl,mity;
that every foot of it should be 50
cred ground: because ir was once
moistened by patriotic blood and
that over a hundred miles of 1t was
fought continuous battle of hun.
drcd and twenty days, during which
day and night, were heard the con
tinuous boom of cannon and the
sharp crack Of the rifle.
l sincerely wish for you, and all
ike you, al success, prosperity and
in these days of peace,
made possible by the deadly strug-
g'es between Chattanooga and At
Ianta In the summer of 1864,

The second presentation of the
Mikado by the Leland Opera Co. o.at
Rempel's Opera House, Saturday
night, was well received, and We
think, more fully appreciated by
our people than when heard Sc YER
al weeks ago.
The music of the Mikado is very
pretty. 1t is true it lacks the crash
and thunder that shelters the d.
vine melody of the old masters, but
take.the solos and choruses through
out and they are beautiful.
The Mlkado is decidedly popu
lar. There is world of wit, hu
NOR and sarcasm in it, and is hare
to grasp in ono evening, if not stud
led before hand, all of the brilliant
and bright things it contains.
The Leland Company is compos
ed of excellent actors. The make
up ofeac., performer was complete
Barring the effects that could b,
| produced on a larger stage anG
with full orchestra, the enter
tainment was all that
could be asked for. James F
Kearney, as Ko Ko, is simply i'm.
mense, and it is doubtful if there is
any one on the stage that will ex.
Gel him iu that part.
Miss Lillian Lawrence is an &C.
complished actress and plays the
part of Yum Yum with marked abiI-
ity.
MISS bessie De Esta. as Petit
Sing. and Miss May Mayfield as
Peep Bo, were especially happy in
the personation of these characters
and we have reliable information
that..they played sad havoc with
that portion of the audience that is
usually is compelled to sit clio: e up to
tho footlights, because of faulty
eye sight, or because of a weakness
for fair women
Miss Efie Darling. who appears
as Kad;sha, has a pleasant voice.
and her singing, as we'll as acting,
was well received by the audience.
The character of Nanki Poo was
we'll sustained by Miss Alice Brew
s'er, and though one of the hardest
parts in the cast, 1t was carried TO
u finish in successful and highly
satisfactorily manner.
Prof. Clarence L. Roserson, the
musical director of the company. is
an excellen: mu usician.
The Leland Opera Co.. gave, We
think, one of the finest entainments
that has been in the city for years.
and as long as it retains the pres.
mt talented members, shonld be
accorded a hearty welcome wherev-
cr it may 60.

"I'ts folly for the Chinese to
ask either the governme*t or
the states or territories on the
Pacific slope to reimburse them
for the losses they have sustained
by the recent outrages out there. !"
said a Golden Gate Congressman
lately. 1.-THE government would
have no business TO Esyssnch
damages; they must be rfged
to the state or territory in which
the damages are sustained OF
course, no Legislature would vote
an appropriation to pay a China
man for loss made at the hands
ola mob, because local sentiment
is TOO strong against it,"
"Then there is no safety for a
Chinaman on the Pacific slopes'
"None, for his life or property,
and it is perfectly natural that
there should not be. There the
scourge of the Celestial is felt
There the people know the curse
of having the Chinaman, who has
no family and no responsibilities.
and who lives on 10 cents a day,
to supersede the white laborer
with a family, and who can net
live upon less than from 81 tAs$2
a day. Certainly it would be
folly to think of holding a peo-
pie like that responsible for the
expression of their disgust of the
Chinaman, even if it was in a
that incurred a loss PEI
to the Celestial" 4
