While we do net know with any

Savior's birth, yet we do know
that nearly alllChristian worship
ers observe one day or more in
each year, and sad to say that in
many instances the manner and
spirit of the observance is an

the Christmas Of 1859 with all
due reverence to Him in whose
name they claim to celebrate. And
oh, dear Christians, dom let the
pure, fresh air that God gives us
to breathe be laden with the foul

throne reason and bring us down

their parents in their early child
hood, that fathers and mothers
should think seriously and go
down upon their knees and ask

The Outing of the Tigers.

The trolley excursion and outing of
the Tigers Athletic Club on Saturday
evening at Halle park fulfilled all the
expectations of the members of the
club and of those whose had looked for
ward to an evening of pleasure at the
Traction Company's resort. The special
trains which were run from Freeland
and McAdoo were crowded, every sec
tion having more passengers on before
the cars started than the Traction Com
pany deems safe load. The third
section leaving here was very heavily
the trolley road officials to supply more
cars over 200 people at Freeland, Drift
ton and Jeddo were unable to take ad-
vantage of the excursion rate and had to
go on the regular cars, all of which
were also crowded entering the park.
At the park the Tigers made it as
pleasant as possible for the vast throng
which had gathered from all sections of
the region. The night was an ideal
one, and socially and financially the
affair was one of the largest and most
successful yet held on the grounds. St.
AIMS band furnished the dancing
music at the park. Returning, all were
safely landed at their homes by a. m. =,
and beyond the derailng of trailer
while passing over a safety switch near
Hareigh, which did not injure any one,
there were no accidents.
This was the first affair of the kind held
by the club and the members are graft
fed at the success attained. The reputa-
tion of the organization had much to do
with the large attendance, nevertheless
the members believe the people were
attracted by the original advertising
methods adopted. Printers ink and
newspaper publicity were used unstint-
edly, and all these, combined with
individual efforts, resulted in the success
of the outing.

MINES AND RAILROADS.

B. F. Davis, who purchased the old
Lehigh Valley station on the upper
track, has torn down the structure and
will use the lumber for other purposes.
The tracks are also being removed, the
rails and slls of quite distance al
ready having been taken away by the
company, and soon nothing but the
roadbed will remain of the original rail
road into Freeland.
The conference between the officials
and engineers Of the Lackawanna Road,
which began Friday, is still going on.
About the only thing discussed was the
mileage system, but at 11.45 o'clock
Saturday night no agreement had been
reached and the conference was ad-
journed until Monday morning.
Miners supplies are steadily advanc-
ing in price, but wages show no signs of
moving upward. At the company store
houses miners now pay 7 cents per foot
for blasting barrels which a year ago
sold at 3 cents u foot.
