PAUL REVERE wILKEsBARRE.
Wilkcsbarre, Sept. ia Paul Revere of
the anthracite coal region rode on horse
back through the streets of this city last
night shouting:
'The strike has been ordered"
Frequently he was theered and soon
the streets were crowded with people,
who talked of nothing but strike. The
miners here are jubilant. and from all
parts OF the Wyoming Valley come re-
ports that fully 80 per cent. of the min
.ers will strike.
Leaders declare that nearly all the coll
lleries will be closed down tomorrow.
and that before the end of the week the
tie-up will be complete.
T'ne opera tors declare that they believe
from the last reports coming from fore,
men at their various eollieries that not
more than 10 per cent. of the men will GO

The Dear Little Anglers wings.

Apropos of the old fat satin sachet
with its painted cupids here is a true
and quaint little story: A wise 4-ye4r-
old maid named Florence lives in New
York and tells her mamma about heaven
aud her experience there before coming
down TO earth.
sand So" said mamma. one day, after
q long and detailed explanation Of
things from florence, 4you came down
on a ladder with diamond handles that
God afterward pulled upe Why didn't
you fly down? Surely, you had wings

"F course" said Florence, promptly;
"bnt you know I've got to wear them
when l go back; aud God didn't want
'em astroyed, $ he put them away
thinking very hard-"in a blue sachet.n
Somehow one can't tell exactly why
there seems neither %irrevcrence nor bad
taste in the notion of a dear familiar
God thus preserving that little pair Of
wings Tor future use.
