John Stanton and double building owned
by Stanton, Dunmore Pioneer office,
John Hawley's hotel and residence, and
the residence of Joshua Warfel. Sew
eral other buildings were badly damaged,

A dispute arose between the miners
and operators of the West Side coliery,
at Jermyn, Lackawanna County, last
week from an attempt to reduce the
mems wages, and the result is strike.
The men were receiving eighty cents a
car until month ago, when they were
informed that the company could only
afford to pay seventy-fve cents, and
they submitted to the drop. Now they
are told that they will receive only sixty
five cents. AS the cars average twenty
nine hundred pounds this would bring
the mems wages below the figure given
at other collieries and the men naturally
object to the reduction.

Every atom of scenery used in the
production of "She Couldn't Marry
Three" is specially built for the play.
There are over three tons of it; it is
worth going miles to see. One of the
most notable scenes in the play is a
picture of the Cornish Coast, with practi-
cal revolving lighthouse and moonlight
on the ocean; also, the view of Carboy's
Abbey with crumbling walls and cling
ing ivy, a scene so beautiful as to battle
description. In the last act of the play
is shown an exact representation of
Dingley Tunnel, one of the most stupen-
dous and natural railroad scenes ever
produced.
Every one of these novel effects are
guaranteed by Manager Hassenforder,
and will be seen here in the production
of "She Couldn't Marry Three"

tressing cough became constant. But John
didn't mind the pain-he ignored it and went
on with his work as though pain meant moth
ing. After time he began TO grow thin and
weak, and an attack of dysentery compelled
covered his condition, and by this time infiltra-
tion was well advanced in the right lung. Now
the fight for life became serious, and it all came
from common cold that treated at first could
have been easily cured. The physician, being
an experienced practitioner, recommended
pulled through But how much better it would
have been had John bought a bottle of the
Elixir at once, and taken dose on going TO
bed and wax ed up the next morning clear as
whistle.
In view of the fact that the season of coughs
and colds is now at hand, we call the attention

Threads of Thought for Thanksgiving

Offer thanks, and give thank offerings
Be grateful for life, if for nothing else
Be like the harvest of the year, good
and generous.
Kind wishes are good, but good deeds
are better.
Our deeds seal our words in the record
of our lives.
Let words and deeds be the signal
lights of your faith.
Give now to the living. You cannot
send your gifts beyond the grave.
The little acts of kindness count high
in the book of remembrance.
Heavens twin angels, Love and Pity
whisper in our hearts: Remember
Others"
If you have not gifts of gold to bestow,
donate gems of kind words.

frog gurgled softly as he fell back into

solitary man, seated astride great bay
horse; he cast one long sweeping glance
around him and then went back over
the brow of the hill again. And that
same night over seven hundred people
were turned away unable to gain admis-
sion to the Opera House where "She
Couldn't Marry Three" was being played
to the most delighted audience of the

Alone on the Prairie.

The day was in that transitory state
when twilight fingers in the lap of day
and darkness struggles for the ascen-
dency. The sun hung in great red ball
of lurid flame betwiXt heaven and earth
there was feeling of profound quiet
which seemed to settle on all things
animate and inanimate. The birds, the
insects, the very trees and sprouting
plants were for the moment hushed as if
in expectancy of some unforeseen, some
inexplcable something which seemed to

wAsHINGTON's BALL CLUE.
The Report of Messrs- Young and Phelps
viii Decide Its Composition.

The Report of Messrs- Young and Phelps
VIII Decide Its Composition.
Who will compose the nine that will represent
Washington in the new consolidated base ball
league next season can only be guessed until
Messrs. Young and Phelps reveal the apportion-
ment made Of the players And they are not
telling. President Young. who returned
yesterday from indianapolis thoroughly tired
out by his weeks work. was asked
last evening for an inkliay of what his report
would be, but he refused 10 make any premature
statements The unofficial aPportionment
printed in The STAR on Saturday Is said by
Director Scanlon to be as nearly accurate az
can be made under the circumstances This
gives Washington Danny richardson,
Ted Larkin, DoIan, knel- III ". Dufee
and Mcclure. These will be a nucleus on which
q first-class club can be built-who the rest
will be Is only conjecture. Everything must
be at standstill for while. ar Wagner
Of Philadelphia will come over to Warrington
probably after the holidays and take control
Until Messrs- Young and Phelps report ~ can
not be decided what will be done with the men
signed by the old management
The New York .Sssa today prints an interview
with Walter SpeldIng. in which he says that
New Yorks prospects are good Tor getting
Rusie and Richardson. This contradicts the
same gentlemans statement that present con-
tracts will stand they are, for Mr.. Wagner
has q contract with Richardson. Richardson
will play here.
IL Is not well known but il is stated a fact,
nevertheless, that Washington WAS IN very
great danger of being left out IN the cold IN the
recent deal. Ii was the intention Of some to
choose PIttsburg an eastern city instead OF
this city. Luckily Messrs- Scanlon and hGlbfus
were on hand and they made strong fight IN
which they were aided by Mr.. SOden OF
Boston
There is no doubt that the admission fee to
next year games here will be % cents, as 1t
vii be in those cities where such rate has been
the rule
As far as can be ascertsined the local base
ball enthusiasts are highly pleased over the
outlook. Some were inclined at trst to doubt
the wisdom of n surrender to the league on the
part of the association bu. that feeling has been
succeeded by one OF satisfaction that Washing
ton is again in the - ter base ball organlza-
ton and We will all again have an opportunity
to see the best known players Capt Prince,
the well-knovn scorer, wien asked today how
he liked the deal said, .Oh. I'm delighted. L
will feel at home again" This Just about ex-
presses the general feeling.
