In Pennsylvania Coal Fields.

Rev. Daniel Evans of Cambridge,
Mass, was the guest of the Mems Club
of the North church Monday evening
and gave them a wonderfully interesting
and instructive address upon life IN the
Pennsylvania coal mines and the causes
OF the late strike. Mr. Evans came to
this country from Wales and began
work at seven years of age, working in
the mines until 1S when he decided to
change his occupation. He therefore
spoke rst.hand OF the treatment OF the
employees, their long hours, low pay and
the system of docking their coal after 1t
is mined. He gave vivid description OF
life in the mines, its dangers anu perils,
and cleared away many troublesome
questions that have arisen III reading the
accounts OF the recent difficulties. At
the close of the hours address he very
kindly remained another hour and was
kept busy answering questions from the
floor The address was frequently ap-
plauded and seldom has speaker given
such universal acceptance as was The
case on Monday night. By the courtesy
of the club there were many men present
from the other churches.

New St. Johnsbury invention.

Emery Powers, whose inventive genius
has appeared in several useful devices of
various kinds, has invented little ma
chine that promises to be of considerable
value commercially if it is put on the
market. The invention is known as
Rapid Letter Opener" which suggests
its use. 1t is a simple affair, the cutter
beirg a steel disc under which the letters
are carried by a milled wheel. 1t will
open letters of any size and shape and
its capacity per minute is limited only by
the ability OF the operator to handle the
letters. 1t is patented, the patent being
owned jointly by Mr. Powers and L. M.
Fullington, who conceived the idea that
Mr.. Powers carried out. The machines
are fitted either for foot ORE electric power.
One has been in use at Jordan, Marh &
Co.'s store in Boston for several weeks
and has proved very satisfactory. The
first model of the machine is now in c.
S. Hastings office.
