Transatlantic travel has reached a
point where all the discomforts that
used to exist years ago in connection
with the details of arranging trips are
no longer known, the railroads and
steamship companies furnishing facil-
titles that remove any difficulty what
ever, and making it very easy and
simple for passenger to complete his
arrangements.
The Lehigh Valley Railroad has made
it custom for some years Of having
passenger representatives located at
New York city meet all incoming pas
senger steamers from European ports,
and also passengers arriving by It's
trains, who are going abroad; and in
fact, attend to all business in connection
with arranging for hotel accommoda-
tons, sleeping or parlor car tickets and
the checking OF baggage, ETC., etc.,
that is necessary for passengers destined
to points beyond New York via the Le-
high Valley line, or the transfer to
steamers OF passengers and baggage,
looking after steamship accommoda-
tions, etc.
Charles A. Foucart, who Is the steam
ship passenger agent representing the
Lehigh Valley Railroad, is always on
hand to meet incoming steamers, and
will also meet parties on arrival of Le-
high Valley trains, to see to their com
Portable transfer to the steamship.

MINES AND RAILROADS.

| Speaking of the an.agonism of the
Reading Company to labor organizations,
the Mahanoy City american says: "Most
OF its salaried employees, in both mine and
railway service, are compelled to do the
| work of the spy and bull-dozer, and, If
they prize their jobs above their man
hood, in very short time they become
metamorphosed into brand of Pinkerton
thug more cruel and desperate than any
manufactured in the worst Of Chicago's
slums. Ii the average p. and r. mine
boss of today is not wearing Pinkerton
badge, it is because the stock of badges
has run out"
From all parts Of the coal field come
reports OF mines suspended on account
of high water, due to last weeks heavy
rains. The production for the week,
and the month, will be materially de-
creased, as some colieries cannot re-
sumo for some days to come. The
lessened production will not affect the
market much, as the demand is light at
present and shorter hours are becoming
the rule at the mines, but considerable
expense will be incurred by the opera
tors in clearing out the water.
Thomas ID. Davis, formerly of Duryea,
is one of those entombed in the Black
Diamond mine in Kings county, state
OF Washington, where an explosion oc-
Cured two weeks ago. MIR. Davis and
his family moved West several years
ago.
No. colliery, Oneida, is completely
drowned out, and several pumps and a
large air-motor are under water. 1t
will take several weeks to pump out the
water and clear tho mine. A creek
broke into the workings on Thursday.
William Waters, aged 79 years, en-
ployed as district mine inspector for
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company for many years, died at
St. Clair on Friday. His death was due
to the effects OF stroke of paralysis.
Mine Inspector Davies, of this dis
trict, reports eight accidents for Feb
ruary, all of which proved fatal. Three
met death in Gowen, three in Oakdale
and two in Harwood. There are four
widows and twelve orphans.
John @. Haddock & Co. will build a
new breaker at Plymouth to take the
place OF the one recently destroyed by
fire. The new structure is already
staked out.

"a Milk White Flag. 81

Playwright Hoyt has written many
successful comedies, but in no other
play does his satire show so keenly or
his humor shine with such brillancy as
in "A Milk White Flag" His wit runs
wild, and that it is thoroughly appre-
ciated and enjoyed by the public is
testified to by the immense business
which this attraction has always done
Its pretty girls, bright costumes and
handsome stage settings please the eye,
its stirring music pleases the ear and
quickens the blood, and the witty lines
and situations cause the fun to grow
uproarious, as the play runs smoothly
and swiftly to its triumphant and pict-
uresque conclusion.
