Loyal Castle, No. 65, and Freeland
Company, No. 30, Military Rank,
Knights of the Mystic Chain, will run
an excursion to Scranton on Tuesday,
September 13. Visitors to Scranton on
that day will not only have an oppor-
tunity to view the grand display made
by the state fair and the Lackawanna
county fair, which will then be open,
but they can also see the monster parade
to be held by the Knights of the Mystic
Chain of Pennsylvania, in honor of the
meeting of the select castle of the order.
The Freeland P. o. S. of A. band will
accompany the excursion and furnish
music in the parade for the societies
from here.
The train will start from Hazleton at
7.05 A. NJ, and will leave here at 7.3O
A. M. The fare from Freeland and vi
cinity has been made as low as possible,
SLIGO for adults, and 60 cents for chill
dren. Ample time will be given to visit
friends and see the sights of the Electric
City, as the excursion train will not
leave there until 10 P. M. Tickets can
be obtained from any of the members of
the order. A refreshment car will ac-
company the excursion, and enough will
be carried along to prevent anybody
from being thirsty or hungry.

Two Candidates.

The Republican delegates of the fourth
legislative district will meet at Hazleton
to-day to nominate a candidate for re-
preventative. The only aspirant for the
honor is Hon. William r. Jeffrey, Of
Freeland, the present incumbent, and
he will be nominated by acclamation.
The Republicans intend to make strong
fight to hold the district in their column,
and the popularity of their candidate
will aid them considerably. B. F. Davis
will represent Freeland in to-day's con-
vention.
If the Democratic nominee does not
want to be showed under completely he
should give little of his attention to the
North Side, and spend less time dabbling
in affairs outside the district. A cand-
date for the legislature is not compelled
to attend county conventions and 90
about lobbying in the interest of aspir-
ants there, in order that men of his own
nationality shall be left off the ticket.
1t was shrewd little game and was
worked successfully, but it did not pass
unnoticed last Tuesday.

equal Rights" )"

Daniel F. Guinan, of Mahanoy City,
has commenced the publication of a
weekly paper devoted to the single tax
theory. 1t is appropriately named Equal
Rights, and there is no reason why it
should not prosper in a field like the
coal regions, where the curse of land
monopoly has had full sway and where
the effects of the present tax system are
so plainly shown in the enslavement of
the people. The doctrine has many ad-
vocates and friends in this part of the
state, especially in this vicinity, and
they will undoubtedly give hearty
welcome to good, aggressive organ, the
columns of which can be entirely devoted
to the discussion of the subject. That
Mr.. Guinan's paper will meet the require
ments we are certain, and continuation
of the high standard of reading matter
given in the first number will make
Equal Rights powerful ally in spread
ing the light. 1t is only 80 cents year.

The Tigers New Building.

The building on Walnut street, occu-
pied by the Tigers Athletic Association,
is to be entirely remodeled and enlarged.
Arrangements have been made with the
proprietor, A. Goeppert, by which an
other story will be added TO the present
building, and the interior will be chang
ed to make the structure suitable for the
purposes of first-class clubhouse. The
first floor will be divided into reception
parlor and reading room, and on the
second there will be gymnasium, equip
ped with all the necessary appliances.
A good library will also be added. The
association expects to expend several
hundred dollars in fitting out the new
building, and before the first of the year
the members will have one of the best
and most convenient places in this sec
ton. As everything connected with the
rooms has always been open and free to
the public, small admission will be
charged for the next few games played
by the base ball club connected with the
association. In this way the friends of
the Tigers can each assist little, and
see the worth of their money in ball
playing at the same time.

SEPTEMBER WEATHER.
Rev. Irl Hicks Tells People How the Gil
mate Will Vary This Month.

The following predictions of Septem-
ber weather are made for the remainder
of the month by Weather Prophet Hicks:
About the 9TH very warm wave may
be looked for, advancing from the west,
which will spread over the whole coun-
try. This warm wave will result from
the equinox of Venus, central on the
7th, a regular storm period central on
the Sth, and the approaching centre of
the earth's equinox..on the 2lst.
The period extends from about the
9th to 18th, thus embracing and rein
forcing the electrical and magnetic dis
turbances which reach an annual crisis
on and about the 18th of September.
We may, therefore, expect during the
period extending from the 9th to the
18th, phenomenal high temperature
and a highly excited condition of the
electrical forces in earth and sky, re-
sulting either in dangerous cyclones and
storms on sea and land, or in a prolong-
ed term of oppressive heat, ending in
many earthquake disturbances.
If heavy storms, with much thunder
and lightning, occur about the danger
days, 9th, 10th and 11th, the tempera-
ture is almost sure to fall Immediately
after, almost to the freezing point in
HoillleTH SeCIlOnS.
A regular storm period is central on
the 10th, the moon on the same day
reaching her position between us and
the sun, thereby adding much to all the
disturbing causes mentioned at the last
period and still in force. The forecasts
and admonitions concerning the period,
9TH to 18th, will apply with added en-
phasis to the period, 18th to 23d.
During these days the snn will pass to
the south of our equator, and all terres-
trial forces, excited by the unusual
blending of causes, will rouse them
selves up for the work of transferring
the seasons to opposite ends of our
world. Seas and coasts everywhere in
the direction of our equator will be ex-
posed to violent and dangerous storms.
About the winding up of the period
18th to 23d, blasts of polar air will ad-
monish us of the oncoming autumn
Some very cool weather will attend and
follow the disturbances about this time.
Reactionary tendencies centering on the
26th, will bring higher temperature and
autumnal storminess. Another cool
wave will follow up to about the Goth,
when warmer weather and other storm
indications will appear in the west,
heralding the storms that will pass
across the continent during the first
days of October.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
SANDY RUN, September /.

SANDY RUN, September /.
EDITOR TRIBUNE.-Friday evening, Au-
gust 26, marked an epoch in Sandy Run
politics. The occasion was the firing of
the first gun in this presidential cam
paign in Sandy Run, and that was by
the Prohibitionists. The school house
had been secured, and at the hour ap-
pointed, Rev. L. G. Jordan, of Phila-
delphia, addressed the vast throng that
had assembled to hear this champion of
Prohibition espouse his cause. The
school house was entirely filled, even
standing room being at premium, whilst
some of the unfortunates who had been
shut out, took their stations at the win
dows as they listened to the orator.
For two hours he held them spell
and swayed them as he willed. Now
the crowd was SO intent ON his words,
the falling of a pin could have been
heard. Now they were wild with ap-
plause, making the building shake.
Never was more enthusiastic political
gathering at Sandy Run. That is the
verdict of both friends and enemies of
the cause so ably presented. If Sandy
Run does not go Prohibition in the fall
it certainly will not be the Rev. Mr..
Jordan's fault. AT the close of the meet
ing, subscriptions were taken for the
Pelple, the Prohibition state organ, pub
lished at Scranton, at the rate of ten
weeks subscription for 10 cents, and
sixty-three subscribers were secured.
Rev. Spaulding, of Freeland; Rev. J. w.
Bedford, of White Haven, and Z. D.
Nichols, ESQ.,, of Wilkes-Barre, the
county chairman, are expected to speak
at Sandy Run during the campaign.

Good-Natured People in Monroe.

Editing paper in Monroe county
must be pleasant job. Instead of sooth-
ing irate subscribers, angry advertisers,
and listening to the tales of woe which
mankind insist on telling, the editor
OF the Stroudsburg Times is accorded
treatment which would make a Luzerne
county scribe think he had reached the
seventh heaven. Last week the Times
editor gave short account of the good
things he gets, and it read as follows:
A large box of wedding cake with the
compliments of Mr., and Mrs. Milton
Dennis Keller reached our Office. 1t was
fine lot and not the little gilt-edged
postage stamp size that are sometimes
handed out. They have our thanks and
best wishes.
Our friend, Prof. VIM. Coolbaugh.
hied himself to Courtright's Pond, and
by diligent and expert work he made a
big catch. He had many "messes'' for
his friends. Among the fortunate was
the big printer and the little printers,
who are always open for such engage
ments. He also has the wishes of the
household.
Without any buster and Kansas cy-
clone noise about the matter, and much
to our qualification, our granger friend,
John Clark, quietly left big roll of but.

OBSERVING LABOR DAY.
Mountain Parks Big Picnic This After
noon-Other Demonstrations.

The workingmen of Wyoming valley
decided about six months ago to cele-
brate Labor Day at Mountain Park, and
they are doing it with vengeance this
afternoon. The programme consists
chiefly of addresses by prominent labor
leaders on the important topic of the
day-the struggle between capital and
labor.
Hugh O'Donnell, who has made him
self one of the best known men in
America by the prominent part he took
in the Homestead strike, is expected to
be present and to speak. If he does not
come, one or two of his associates will
be present. Burgess McLuckie and a
prominent member of the advisory COM
mittee are expected. Gen. James B.
Weaver, of Iowa, the Peoples party
candidate for president, will be present
and speak, and Grand Master Workman
Powderly has also given his assurance
that he will attend and speak. Every
arrangement has been made by the park
committee to accommodate and enter
tain large crowd.
Preparations have been made for a
great demonstration in Mahanoy CITY.
General Goblin will be grand marshal.
A handsome soldiers monument will be
unveiled. Governor Pattison will de-
liver an address.
At Nanticoke a monument erected to
the memory of Father Mattingly, the
first Catholic pastor there, will be un-
veiled to-day. A parade of all the
Catholic societies of that section will be
the principal feature.
Labor Day at Centralia is one of the
biggest in the towns history. The Le-
gion of honor will have parade there,
in which they expect several hundred
Schuylkill county members to partici-
pate.
In several other parts there will be
demonstrations, but the majority are
held by benevolent and secret societies.
Labor organizations and laboring men in
the anthracite coal regions, outside of
the Mountain Park display, are not
taking an active part in observing Labor
Day. Freeland, however, has still life
enough left to hold a good picnic this
evening

BASE BALL NOTES.

The Fearnots went to Honey Brook on
Saturday and played an interesting game
with the club of that place. They re-
turned victorious the score being 15 to 13.
Jeanesville did not seem to have much
trouble in batting Gormley on Saturday,
and with the aid of their ten hits they
defeated Lansford, to 2. The visitors
made four hits off Mccullough.
The Fearnots and Silver Brook met at
Drlfton park yesterday afternoon. A
great game was expected, but a few
innings demonstrated the fact that Silver
Brook is not in the same class with the
Fearnots. The latter club played fine
all through the game, the battery work
of Boner and Boyle being very good, as
was also the playing of Gaffney, of the
Tigers, at third. Silver Brook people
could not hit when hits were needed,
and they were defeated by score of
10 to 0.
At Freeland park next Sunday after
noon the Freeland Tigers and Drifton
Fearnots will come together for the
fourth time this season. AS our readers
will remember, the last game between
these clubs was twelve-inning contest,
which was won by Drifton with the
score 3 to 2. Both teams will be streng-
thened as much as possible, and it is
safe to say that the game will be played
for all it is worth when they meet. The
Tigers will have complete charge of the
park during the game, and an admission
of ten cents will be charged. No lover
of base ball will refuse to pay this small
amount to see game between the Fear
nots and Tigers. This is the first time
the local club has ever charged, having
played for several years at every oppor-
tunity, and it is only done now on ac-
count of the heavy expense which they
will have to meet in few months.
