homes. The colliery is situated a short
distance east of Shenandoah.
The workmen started for home shortly
after 4 o'clock. They walked up the
middle Of East Centre street and reached
the Lehigh Valley Railroad station.
Here had gathered a large crowd of
men, women and children, who lined
both sides of the street.
shot rang out. This was followed
by shower of stones. Many of the
crowd had picked up sticks and stones
and were acting in a threatening
manner. Seeing this the sheriff, who
had previously cautioned his men to
keep cool and not to use their firearms,
commanded them to fire. The order
was obeyed with terrible results.
Sheriff Toole shortly afterward tele-
phoned to Harrisburg and asked that a
detachment of troops be sent.
Following is list of the killed and
wounded:
Killed.-Mike Yuckavage, shot in the
eye. A little girl, name unknown, shot
in the back of the neck.
ounded.-Edward Coyle, aged so.

FRIDAY EVENINGS MEETING.
A meeting was held in front of the
Grand opera house Friday evening. A
stirring address was delivered by Nation
al Organizer Fred Dicher, of Ohio, who
had just arrived from the Lackawanna
region. He told how effective the strike
order had been in the two regions in the
upper end, and appealed to the miners
here to do their duty and help fight the
battle of the century, the success of
which he glowingly predicted Mr..
Dilcher is undoubtedly the best speaker
among the leaders of the United Mine
Workers.
d. j. Mccarthy, Esq, of town, fol-
lowed Mr.. Dilcher with an address in
which he counseled the strikers to
practice sobriety and prudence and en-
joined them to obey the letter and the
spirit of the law. He explained to them
their rights in endeavoring to gain
recruits from among those who are still
working, and cautioned them, at the
risk of losing the strike, not to overstep
the limits of their rights. He said that
once they violate the law the sympathy
of the press and people of the nation,
which they now have, will turn against
them and their fight for justice will fail.
The speaker also called attention to
the importation into this borough OF
bands of armed mercenaries by the
operators, and on behalf of the people
of Freeland protested against such
action, since the local authority had not
been even asked to suppress any dis
order, because none has yet existed. His
denunciaton of the intrusion of the
corporations hirelings was loudly
applauded.
After the public meeting large
number Of men were admitted to mem
bership in the local branch of the
United Mine Workers.

FREELAND, SEPTEMBER "a, 1906
Our Pre-eminence In Cities.

The population reports of the twelfth
census furnish some interesting figures
for comparison with the populations of
the old world cities and show among
other things that the United States has
a greater number of great cities than
any other country on the globe. We
have the distinction of having more
cities with 100000 population and
upward than any other nation in the
world. No other country has more
than one city which passes that mark,
while the United States has three
New York, Chicago and Philadelphia.
1t would have had four If Brooklyn
had not been annexed to New York. as
the borough of Brooklyn has gone con-
siderably beyond that point this year.
The countries besides the United
States which have cities which exceed
the 100000 mark in population are
England Uondon), France Paris) Ger
many Berlin), Austria (Vienna), Japan
(Tokyo) and Russia (St Petersburg.
population and Peking to have 1,000,-
600, but these Chinese population fig
ures are conjectural. The United King
dom's second city, Glasgow, had 61S,-
600 inhabitants when the latest British
census was taken, in 1891, and it will
still be long way below 100000 in
1901. Russla's second city, Moscow,
had $4,000 population in 1891, and
from the rate of increase In the previ-
GUS decades it is still under the 1,O00,-
600 line.
America has the second city In the
world, New York. 1t has also the fifth
city, Chicago, for London, New York,
Paris and Berlin are probably the only
towns in the world which are now
ahead of the Illinois capital. Canton,
which was credited with 100000 in
habitants a few years ago, is left out of
this calculation, for no reliable compu-
tation has ever been made in that
and Tokyo had 1,214,000 in 1898, but
Chicago, with its 1,69S,575, has un-
doubtedly passed both of those today.
St Petersburg which had 1,033,000 in
habitants in 1892, is not in the contest
with Chicago. Philadelphia, with its
1,293,697 population, is running a close
race with St Petersburg and possibly
has beaten 1t. In any case Americas
three big towns are very near the head
of the list of the worlds great popula-
tion centers.
New York, with 3,437,202, is more
than 100000 behind London, the only
city which leads it-for Paris inhabit-
ants were 2,44S,0OO in 1891 and cannot
have gone beyond the 100000 mark
at the outside in 1900-but at the rela-
tive rate of gain of the two cities In the
past half century, allowing for annexa-
tions of territory in both cases, New
York Is likely to pass the British me-
tropolis by 1925 or 1890.

The opening theatrical season, ac-
cording to the managers, who are noto-
riously optimistic, will be the best in
the history of the American stage. This
may be true, but inasmuch as the same
statement is made in the same manner
by the same men at the same season
every year perhaps it should not be ac-
cepted at its face value.

THEATRICAL.

Were the curtain OF time rolled back,
and the performer of twenty-five years
ago to appear on the scene, what reve-
lation would last nights performance
have been to him, How he would have
wondered at the simplicity of arrange
ments of his day, and the magnifcence
of the drapery Of the present, when a
little burnt cork and banjo constituted
a performer, while now it requires all
the present grandeur of colossal at
traction, like Barlow and Wilson's Min
strels, to satisfy the public. Every
aggregation has its stars, but none cast
their rays brighter then do Barlow and
Wilson's magnificent aggregation of
star performers Orleans Daily

a VALUABLE WILD BEAST.
The Gorilla Is Hard to Capture and II
ALWAYS In Demand. -

Always 10 demand.
"At the present time there are no
wild animals In such great demand for
exhibition purposes as the gorilla"
gays q dealer in all kinds OF wild
beasts. "A full-grown gorilla stands
about four feet six inches high and is
worth 81, 200 to 81 500. They sell easily
for such prices, owing to the fact that
they are rare and very difficult to cap
ture. Chiefs In the interior OF Africa
have been offered large sums II they
would succeed In catching one OF these
beasts. Numbers of little gorillas have
been captured at various times, but
they have always pinned away and died
In a short time. The chief difficulty
about the capture of the gorilla Is that
he lives in very unhealthy districts
where fevers prevail. A white man
has to fight the climate as well as the
animals. In addition to the we'll
known ferocity of the gorilla he Ia re-
garded with a superstitious awe by the
natives, who have legend to the ef-
feet that this terrible beast carries
away the women to the jungles. They
also regard the gorilla as endowed
with supernatural powers. Two men
sent out last year by well-known
German firm that deals in wild beasts
persisted in the wilds of Africa while
seeking Cor gcrillas. 1t may seem sur
prising to an American, equipped with
all the appliances of science for the
subjugation of the animal kingdom.
that 1t seems impossible to capture and
cage a gorilla. But II his fearful
strength is considered and his wonder
full shyness. 1t will prove to be not so
much a matter of strength after all.
All kinds of suggestions have been
made to hunters with regard to the
devices to be used, such as traps, pit
falls and like appliances, but none OF
these has proved to be successful. One
of the largest gorillas ever captured
belongs to the geological gardens In
London. The animal stands four feet
nine inches high. 1t Is so valuable
that offers of $1,000 and $4,000 have
been made without acceptance"

is now generally admitted that the
