Illinois Miners Protest.
Springfield Ills, Sept. GA large
delegation of miners, representing
mines in different sections of the state,
called on Governor Tanner yesterday
to protest against the Importation of
negro miners into Illinois. The deega-
ton was headed by President Hunter
and Secretary Ryan, of the United
Mine Workers. The governor express
ed the strongest sympathy for the
miners. He said that in the absence
of federal legislation the worst classes
apparently could be gotten together
and moved in great masses from one
part Of the country to another, to the
detriment of labor. He promised to
exert all his power against the importa-
ton of labor, The Illinois statute pro-
hbiting bringing armed bodies Of men
into the state, the governor assured the
miners, would be enforced The gov
erEor pointed out also that the county
boards Of supervisors could refuse to
pay for armed deputies to guard i'm
ported miners.

No other Summer outing appeals so
strongly to the people of Western Penn
sylvania as the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company's popular excursions to the
Atlantic seacoast. For years they have
been looked forward to as the holiday
event of each Summer. The secret of
their great popularity is the phenom-
enally low rate and the high character
of the service The limit of twelve
days lust fits the time set apart for the
average vacation, and the dates of the
excursions are most conveniently adJus-
ted. There is also the widest field for
choice in the selection of a resort. At
lantic City, Cape May, Sea Isle City,
Ocean City, n J., Rehoboth, Del, and
Ocean City, Md, are the choicest of the
Atlantic coast resorts, and any one OF
them may be visited under these ar
rangements.
The dates of the excursions are July
Z and 81, and August and Is. A spe-
cial train of Pullman parlor cars and
day coaches will leave Pittsburg on
above mentioned dates mt SO a. Nj.

BUFFALO BILLS REVIEW
OF the Representative Rough
Riders of the World

On no account should the habitual
tardiness which characteriZes so many
on entertainment bound, be permitted
to rob any pair of eyes of the grand and
glorious equestrian review, with which
the afternoon and evenings performan-
ces of Buffalo Bills Wild West and
Congress of rough riders of the World,
at Butler on Wednesday, July will be
inaugurated at precisely , and 5 o'clock.
Imagine" says the New York Sun, "a
Kaleidoscope with an object filed four
and a half acres in extent, occupied by a
swift moving mass of figures, individu-
ally picturesque, brilliant with metallic
reflections and gay with colors, mo
mentarily springing and flashing into
new combinations and modes of motion
which dazzle, confuse and fascinate the
eve of the holder Such is the spectacle
presented by the hundreds of rough
riders, forming port of the Wild
West show, when gone through their
evolutions together. All the rest of the
show is interesting and remarkable; the
craftsmanship of Buffalo Bill and his
men, the excellent acrobatic feats of
genuine Arabs, the Indians songs and
dances, the combats between the scouts,
cowboys and red men, and much more
that need not be recapltulated: but, AT
ter all. the feature which arouses the
enthusiasm of the spectators is the tenn
porary Centaur, the horseman combi-
nation seen in each of these rough rid
ers when in action. 1t stirs the blood
as no other spectacle could short of a
battle. a shipwreck or an earthq quake
When band after band of Vaqueros,
Gauchos, Cowboy and Indians, gallop-
| ing swiftly, with wild yells, futtering
| drapery and waving lariats, are follow
! ed by ponderons German Cuirassers,
| dashing French cavalryman, impetuous
| Cossacks handsome Royal Irish Ian
GERS, mysterious Arab horsemen and
American cavalry, all in succession,
| charging up the field, wheeling with
characteristic salutes, and retreating at
| full speed the laundering of the hors
es hoofs, the snorting of the animals
| the dull roar of the moving mass, the
| faunting of the pennons and plumes OF
| the riders and the flashing of sabres,
| send through the spectators Il thrill OF
vital sympathy with the electric energy
magnificent force, and grace of the
army OF Centaurs Men and women
rise in their seats, shouting, applauding
