EVENING TELEGRAPH'S FUND.
Over Two Thousand Dollars Raised
for the PittstOn Sufferers.

Philadelphia. July 20.-The Evening
Telerraph's Twin shaft fund has reach
ed the sum Of $a,aa2S2j. The Telegraph
today devotes u page to the catastrophe
and an appeal for permanent RELIEF
fund. Mayor Warwick issued call to-
day for a meeting of the Citizens Per-
manent Relief association, to take into
consideration the distress that prevails
in Pittston. and the means to allay 1t.
The meeting will be held at the mayors
office at half past twelve O'Clock tomor-
row 1t is likely too. at the same time,
there will come up for consideration the
appeal recently made for aid by the
Amber sufferers.
The members Of the committee are
said to be very anxious to aid the move
ment i'm behalf of the families OF the en-
tombed miners. which was begun by
the Evening Telegraph and there Is 1t
tie doubt that the fund will be substan-
TALLY helped by their contribution.
There is balance to the credit Of the
fund. but it is more likely that further
appeal will be made.

The infrequency of dances, dinners
and other evening entertainments dur
ing the past six months. has been con-
sidered due to the hard times, and TIE
unsettled condition of the country gen
orally. This, however, is a mistake,
Tor in all other respects there has been
as much money spent on entertain
ments as usual, although it may not
be as perceptible on account Of the
change in the form Of the entertain
ments. The fact is outdoor affairs
nave become so popular that they have
completely eclipsed all other forms Of
anusenenSs.
Naturally, after a long day spent in
exercising in the open air person is
disinclined for dinners and dances.

There has also been seen a decided.
tendency towards informal entertain
ments, and close observers must surely
have noticed a general drifting towards
Bohemianism. which would have shock
ed our grandparents, but is much en-
Joyed by their descendants.

Lake people said goodbye to the gal
