The officer charged with the enforce
ment OF the ordinance in regard to
animals running at large, visited South
Wilmington OIL Saturday evening, and
carried of nine geese belonging to
Mrs. Quinn, poor widow; 10 belong
ing to Mr.. Thomas, and IL to another
party. These were placed in the pound,
and fifty cents each were demanded
for their restoration to their owners.
AS the geese are now poor there is no
market for their sale and tho owners
think it very hard that they should be
compelled 10 submit to such exaction
on so short a notice. Beside it is al
legged that the garbage contractor has
not visited that section for weeks. and
these geese did much more good than
harm as they ate up the oifal which
otherwise wonld have poisoned the at
mospheIe, and led to disease ii not
death on the part of some of the resi-
dents. The matter should be looked
into with the least possible delay.

EVA MANN had the cheek to appear
on the stage in rendering a realistic
scene of herself stabbing her nurse
Donnelly. The people in the mining
towns of Pennsylvania, who rather en-
joy an exciting scene Of this kind,
could not stand Eva, and with the
press of those towns they brought The
adulteress to grief, and drove her from
the stage. This credltable is for the
miners.

II IS unfortunate for the working
men OF our city that they got such a
gathering anarchist as Weissman,
who is said not to be naturalized yet,
TO address them. Fortunately the
greater part of those present didn't
care what he said and those who lis
tened to him didn't believe all he said.
Ii our American workiugmen want to
make popular dem onstrations they
should get Americans to address Amer
leans. In another sense the labor
demonstration would have appealed
more to popular favor without liquor
bar on the grounds. The elevation of
the workingmen can never be accom-
plished through beer kegs and whisky
decanters.

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1891-11-19

The annual report of the Secretary of
Internal Affairs on the industrial statis-
tics of the State will soon appear. Its
publication has been delayed in order to
procure statistics of the last census re-
iating to the leading manufactures of the
State. 1t was confidently believed that
these could be completed, but so much
CT the work in the census Office has been
suspended from lack of funds that it was
finally determined to publish the report
without these statistics. As soon as they
are completed, however, they will APP
pear in a separate form.
The statistics of strikes and lock-outs
from 1887 to 1890 are given. In the re-
port for 1883 all the strikes for the pre-
ceding six years were published, and
the record is here presented for four
wears more. The most important ones
during this period were the strikes of
the employees of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Company, the Read
ing Iron and Coal Company and the Le-
high region miners. In the four years,
1887 to 1890. inclusive, there were 81
strikes and lock-outs. OF this number
A were for an increase of wages and I
against reduction of wages. OF the
81 strikes and lock-outs inaugurated 13
were successful, I partly successful and
81 were total failures. From this report
it can be seen that the odds are against
the workngmen in strikes and lock-outs.
The report closes with a description of
the railroad relief associations of the
State. They have been established by
the Pennsylvania Railroad, Cumberland
Valley, Lehigh Valley, Philadelphia and
Reading and the Baltimore 4 Ohio-in
short they include all the more impor-
tant lines in the State. The report of
the Factory Inspector also appears in
this volume, though it properly forms
no part of it, as the Factory Inspector is
not under the supervision either of the
Secretary of Internal Affairs or the Chief
of the Bureau of Statistics.

In the "Tar and Tartar there is an
elaborate medley of American patriotic
airs at the close of the third act. The
leader of the orchestra has arranged
them so that the people on the stage
sing the "Star Spangled Banner"
Dixie" and Yankee Doodle" at one
time without any discord. There is a
tremendous amount of marching and
countermarching, and the singers raise
the roof with their songs. The arrange
ment is so popular that four or five
encores are demanded every night New
\ ork audiences are not supposed to be
particularly patriotic, and the applause
was set down as a tribute to the skill of
the musician who had made the arrange
ment Of the songs, until the other night,
when some foreigners who were sitting
near the stage grew weary of the music
and began to hiss. Instantly there was
an outburst Of cheers and applause which
startled the attendants of the house.
The song was redemanded three times
more, and when the Spaniards got up
and left the theatre, the people glared at
them in fashion that surprised me. |
had no idea that New York audience
could be wrought up to such pitch of
patriotism. - Byooklya Eagle.

AN underground city is reported
by Russian newspapers as having
been found in Russian Turkestan
near the Bokharan town of Karki.
The entrances are by a series of large
caves in the side of rocky hill.
Efigies and inscriptions have been
found, and also designs upon gold and
silver money, which lead to the belief
that the town dates back to some two
centuries before the birth of Christ
There are a number Of streets and
squares surrounded by houses two
and three stories high. Urns, vases,
cooking pots, and other utensils have
been found in great abundance The
symmetry Of the streets and squares
and the beauty Of the baked clay and
metal utensils attest the fact that the
people had reached an advanced stage
of civilization.
