KENNETH SQUARE, Chester county,
is just now indulging in a peculiar
post-office fight. The present incum-
bent is a Democrat, who was appoint
ed by President Cleveland. His wife
is staunch Republican, and as she
believes in turning the rascals out"
she has herself made application for
appointment as postmistress. The
position is worth $1,000 a year, and
the woman is being assisted in her
fight by number of influential Re-
publicans of the county. A number
of the sterner sex are also after the
prize, but the woman, it is believed
will be able to keep the office within
the family.

"O'Dowd's Neighbors," which was pro-
duced last night at the National Theatre,
to large and appreciative audience, has
been frightened by new features since it
was last seen here and furnishes an aecepta-
BILE entertainment, 1t has been contrived
for laughter purposes and its slender plot
offers ample opportunity for the introduce
tion of vaudeville specialties Mark Muir
ply, who leads the company, is clever
stage Irishman, who sings, dances and
kicks his way into favor. The bill presents
variety of fresh humor, popular ballads
and good dancing, and the whole cast is
equal to the standard OF the piece, which,
it has been intmsted, disarms criticism
from the standpoint of the drama, but
keeps its promise of providing unlimited
fun-making g.-Phiia. Ledger "O'Dowd's
Neighbors' will be produced at Ferguson'I .
theatre tomorrow evening.

CONTRACT LABOR
A REPORT IN CONNECTION
WITH 1T
AND THE PENNSYLVANIA MINES
Contract Labor Inspectors Conk-
ling and Osborne Say American
Miners Are Crowded Out
by Imported Labor.

Contract labor inspectors Cjnkling and
Osborne, who we're sent from New York to
the mining districts of Penns lyania to
investigate the workings of the alien con-
tract law, have sent their report to Secre-
tary Foster, of the Treasury Department.
Their report states that they discovered
evidences of wholesale violation of the
law that was framed to protect American
worRIngmen
In the mines surrounding Scranton it
was found that nine-tenths of the miners
at present employed are Hungarians,
Italians and Slavs. Five years ago the
miners there were nearly all Americans.
At the Arion mine in Western Pennsylvs-
mia, Msjor Osborne learned that Hungarian
and Italian immigrants come there in
squads of 200 at a time direct from the
Barge Office in New York, under charge of
padrones.
At the mines near Carbondale in 1896
there were 800 miners all Americans.
While the miners strike was on in 1889-90
large numbers of Slavs and Hungarans
were brought to the mines from Castle
Garden under the protection of Pinkertons
detectives. AT the last election out of 1877
miners employed there just sixty-eght
were entitled to vote.
The inspectors found that immigrants
were brought over from Europe in droves,
passed through the Barge Office by an agent
and taken to the mine to supersede Ameri-
can miners. There are several men en-
ployed by the mine owners whose sole duty
is to visit the Barge Office and get lmmi-
giant contract laborers passed through
One man in particular was nicknamed the
Much Cousin Man." as he would visit
the Barge office and secure the release of
detained immigrants, claiming them as
cousins, brothers or other relatives.
The inspectors recommend more stringent
scrutiny of immigrants p ssing through
the different landing places At present,
they say, the law is practically useless as
contract laborers pass through by thous-
ands without detection.
