The popularity Of Festival Field was dem
onstrated last night when thousands
braved the cool breezes that came up after
dark, and many took advantage of the side
shows. Shortly after the gates were opened
at o'clock the street cars from the center
of the city unloaded many passengers, who
tramped over Festival Field before entering
the horse show arena. Despite the rain
that fell during the afternoon the ground
was not muddy. At $50 o'clock. when the
first event in the horse show was on, it was
estimated that 1900 people had patronized
Festival Field. All the shows did a good
business. The scantily-clad "Balleho" per-
formers seemed a little averse to appearing
the platforms in their tights and light
clothing. Many of the women and men
acrobats, when called on the "Balleho"
were clad I'm long bath robes. These were
pulled closely about them.
A feature not on the programme for last
night was the total eclipse of the moon.
Just prior to Daniel Canary's sensational
exhibition on the cycle whirl hundreds of
people gathered about his incline. While
waiting Ii was noticed that the earth had
begun to throw its shadow over the moon s
surface. From that time until nearly mid
night all necks were craned upward and
attention was drawn from the shows that
were vigorously advertised by men through
megaphones. At the hour when the total
eclipse became apparent all the side show
men began to announce their greatest of
all events-the midnight show. This I'M
usual feature the eclipse, was OF greater
interest, and many boys, girls. women and
men stood about the field looking intently
at the moon.

have grown gray-headed trying to solve.
Z. b. Thomas, chairman of the executive
board of the Erie road. said: II consider
that the adjustment of differences will be

Discussing the possibility of getting coal
into the market promptly after the mines

coal here right away. 1 do not know any

Station Question Is Settled.
HAVANA, Oct. 16.-Business men, who
have been called in to consult with Presi-
dent Palma on the proposed Cuban-Ameri-
can commercial treaty, feel assured that
the Cabinet will approve the proposition
of the United States and that 1t will be
sent to Congress within few days for
adoption. There is some fear that the
radical element in Congress will object to
approving any commercial treaty without
first settling the question of coaling sta
tions and without being informed clearly
of the intentions Of the United States with
regard to the enforcement of the Platt
amendment.
The commercial treaty submitted to Cuba
by Washington Is practically the Bliss
tariff schedule, which was drawn up just
before the American military government
withdrew from the island and which leaves
the present duty in force against all other
nations, but gives the United States a
differential of from 20 to 60 per cent. In
return the United States offers Cuba a re-
duction in duties of 20 per cent. This was
considered too small In proportion to the
benefit asked by the United States and in
the beginning there was a strong inclina-
ton to reject the proposition, but 1t was
explained that, under existing conditions
In the United States and considering that
the bill was passed by the House of Repre-
sentatives, in Washington, more could not

Tamaqua CPa.) Letter.
The rank and file of the strikers favor
calling a convention, voting to adopt the
proposition of the operators and then re-
turning to work. They seem to care little
whether the union survives or goes to
pieces on the rocks. Their main desire Is
to get back to work, and they seem to real
ize that they now have an opportunity to
do so. To-day a number of strikers inter-
viewed said that they were growing tired
of trying to live on a dollar a week, and
that they favored an immediate resump-
ton of work.
When one of them was asked what would
become of the union If such a. plan were to
be followed, he said: What has the union
done for US? When We were ordered on
strike We were told that every married man
would receive at least seven dollars a
week from the relief fund and every single
man at least four dollars. We have never
received anything like that amount. At
present the married man gets on an aver
age about one dollar a week, and the I'M
married man about 70 cents. We are told
that contributions are pouring into head
quarters, but We are getting but little
money"
IF a convention was called would the
men go back to work? % was asked.
would they?'' he exclaimed; well, I
should say so. The only men who would
vote to continue the strike would be those
who never do a great deal of work and the
officers of the union, who are enjoying the
most prosperous times of their lives

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct. 16.-Purdue's
football eleven yesterday practiced behind
closed gates and will continue to keep prac-
tice secret until after the Illinois game
at Champaign, next Saturday. Ii was
planned TO have the entire student body
attend this game. but the disappointing
result at Chicago somewhat cooled the ar
dor of the supporters and the 800 names
necessary to assure college being closed on
that day could not be secured. and no
cheap excursion will be run as proposed
There is no doubt of the fact that students
are not doing much to boost the fortunes
Of the team, the defeat by Chicago having
been such decisive one that small hopes
are entertained of the development of the
eleven into a winning aggregation. Coach
Best, however, still hopes TO bring the
men around into form, although there Is
no one here.who ventures to predict VIC

one of the team said, was disappointing.
The scrubs found little difficulty in tearing
up 'varsity's interference and downing the
backs. The team work was loose and each
man on the eleven seemed to have dis
couraged. spiritless air that made snappy
play impossible.
The lineup yesterday was about the
same has been used since the Chicago
game. Holm and Minch were at the ends.
Davidson and MacManus, tackles. Rebel
and Boyer guards. and Emise in center.
The back field was composed of Osborne,
Knapp, Mills and Zimmerman. Captain
Leslie undoubtedly will play at quarter in
the Illinois game, and 1t is Coach Best's
intention to play Allen at half back. the
position he played at Chicago. Long
John" Miller and Krull are still in a bad
condition and cannot possibly play next
Saturday. There is little likelihood that
either will be able to take part In any
other game this season.
The situation at Purdue seems darker
than ever before. and unless the eleven
takes a big brace or some new men are
developed the record for 1902 promises to
be one devoid of victories for the old gold
and black.
