JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.

The mine workers of Jermyn and
Mayfield celebrated the closing of the
strike Saturday afternoon with Il pa =
rade through the principal streets of
the borough. The idea of having the
parade was conceived at the meeting
the previous evening. and the turnout
was therefore highly creditable on such
short notice. The parade was accom-
panied by the Citizens and Hogarth's s
bands. of Iermyn, and the Russian
band. of Mayfield. Stephen Morcom
was grand marshal. Carriages were
furnished for some of the <older miners,
and as the march extended over sew
eral miles the riders no doubt appreci-
ated the forethought of the young
members. ~
1t is expected that all the mines in
this vicinity will be in operation again
today. The following notice was post
ed at the Delaware and Hudson COL
liery Saturday: Inside employees at
this coliery will report for work Mon-
day morning. October %. at Z O'Clock.
Outside employees will report at $50

The High School foot ball team was

nearly so one-sided as would appear
from the score. The local team played
an excellent game, and had they not
had the misfortune to lose the services
of NJ. Ruddy. who was injured in the
first rush, the result would undoubt-
edly have been still closer. Principal
Barrett accompanied the team and wit
messed the game.
An Italian boy. while running bare

EVANS OF MoNTEvIDEo.
He Came from Minersville, Pa, and
Has Made Millions in Uruguay.

Douglas Whlte, IN AlllSlees.
Over on South Americas eastern
coast. at uruguay's pretty capital
dwells an American who is better
known to the officers of all navies than
any single individual in the world.
This is Mr.. w. d. Evans, of Monte
video.
For more than forty wears Mr..
Evans was the most prominent figure
at MontevideO's port, having from a
small beginning built up a business in
ship chandlery until he was practically
without competition in the harbor. 1t
was from Minersville, Penn, that this
present-day millionaire set out for the
lands beyond the equator. His advent
in the harbor of Montevideo was as
mate aboard sailing ship. He saw a
chance to make money. and left his
billet to start a business on shore. Ar
ter having made an excellent start, his
venture was wrecked by the manipula- So
tions of his partner.
This meant another beginning and
practically harder struggle than the
hrst, but Mr. Evans had not started out
to submit to failure. HIe was looking
for success and meant to find 1t.
On his second race for fortune his
most valuable possession was boat
with which he personally served his
wares to the various ships The
stock which he carried in this same
craft ofttimes represented his entire
capital. and in the rough harhor of
Montevideo any hour might render him
again penniless. He had many narrow
escapes. Finally he had made a suf-
n ayN IS.
to send to Baltimore, Nd, for craft
which would stand all weathers. With
the new boat came added prosperity.
until finally it required steam tug
and several lighters to handle his enor-
nous trade.
Prosperity in business made outside
investments possible. These were
handled with so much foresight that as
Montevideo expanded the Evans prop
critics increased in value until today
they are worth millions. Mr.. Evans
has retired from active business. He Is
succeeded by his former clerk, Manuel,
Bottini. an American citizen of for
eigh parentage.
HIS AMERlCANISM,
Mr, Evans has specially endeared
himself to the officers of every navy
which has had ships upon the South
Atlantic station. These war ships have
always been his especial charge, and
no fighting craft ever entered the har-
bor at Monteyideo that was not met
by an Evans boat carrying ice. fruits,
fresh provisions and all those things
which are impossible accompaniments
of long cruise. TO naval officers Mr..
Evans has been banker, and many
an officers wife has blessed this man
from North America when she arrived
at Montevideo and found her husbands
ship not yet in port. If you arrive at
Montevideo and do not find me there,
go to Evans. He will take care of
you and see that you want for noth-
ing We're the travelling instructions
issued to officers wives when they
started to join their husbands on the
