Cancellation Committee.

President Mitchell and the executive
boards of the three anthracite districts
yesterday took the first step in settling
existing differences between miners and
companies growing out of the interpre-
tation Of the coal commissions award,
by ordering the men in the Schuylkill
region to return to work and appointing
conciiation committee, representing
the miners, to bring about an under
standing and peace.
They have selected the presidents of
Districts 1, 7 and 0 to act as the repre-
sentatives on the board of Cancellation
and have decided to notify the presidents
OF the various coal carrying roads that
they are prepared to meet the represen-
tatives of the companies at the earliest
possible date for the purpose of consid-
erng and adjusting all questions ac-
cruing out of the Interpretation OF the
application of the award.

THEATRICAL.
"Foxy Grandpa" to Be Played Here Next
Monday Evening.

4uohuHy
VIM. A. Brady's big musical farcical
production, Foxy Grandpa" will ap-
pear at the Grand opera house Monday
evening next. The same magnificent
production will be given as during the
fifteen weeks run at the Fourteenth
street theatre, New York city, and the
sparkling comedy will be interpreted by
a splendid cast of farceurs. The author
found his inspiration for the piece in
the series of cartoons which have ap-
peared from time to time in the Sunday
newspapers, depicting Foxy Grandpa"
and his two mischievous grandsons in
various comicalities. While taking
those cartoons as the foundation prin
ciple for his play, Mr.. Baker has not
restricted himself to them alone, but
has put the genial old gentlemen and
his boys in all sorts of humorous situa-
tions, besides introducing a lot OF ori-
ginal music which is said to be both
pleasing and catchy. A company of
about thirty people will interpret the
play, including select chorus of very
pretty girls with well trained voices.
The cast of characters aud the musical
numbers of the play will appear in a
coming issue of the Tribune.
One Of the strong scenes in the "King
OF the Coal Fields" which will be at the
opera house this evening, is the miners
local convention hall. The business of
a union meeting is carried out in all its
details, and the sentiment of the men
in the midst of the Pennsylvania coal
strike is set forth as is actually was.
When one sees and hears these men at
the meeting in their own town, one can
understand how powerfully were the
sentiments that made them suffer and
fight for what they knew to be right.

Richard Baker whose revival of East
Lynne" is to be given here tomorrow
evening, was for years a popular actor
in New York city and London and is
famous in both cities as a stage director
Two clever and pretty children, the
shannon sisters, aged and 8 years, will
also appear in this revival, taking the
roles of Willie and little Isabel.

Nine MONTHS
SCHOOL TERM
Borough Directors Grant a
Request for Extension.
In Response to a General
Demand for a Full Term
the Board Adds Two More
Months.

Instead of closing tomorrow afternoon
which will complete the seventh school
month in Freeland borough, the term
will not end until on or about June 1s
This was decided upon last evening at
a meeting OF the board, which was at
tended by Directors Slattery, Brogan
Brennan, Boyle, Buckley, Kline, Nc
Geehan and Timony.
The president announced that the
| special session was called to take definite
action upon the length of the term
| A communication from the teachers of
the borough schools, containing the
signature of every teacher regularly
employed by the board, was read by the
secretary. 1t asked that the board
grant an extension of the term. The
communication was accepted and order
ed filed.
A motion was then made by Directors
Brennan and Boyle to extend the term
two more months. 1t received the votes
of all the directors present, Mr.. Kline,
however, qualifying his assent with the
provisions that the officers use the
proper funds in paying the teachers
salaries and II the funds are not suffi-
cient that the teachers wait for their
money, without interest, until the next
state appropriation is received.
After some discussion on the effect Of
certain laws affecting school districts,
passed by the late legislature, the board
adjourned.
Judging from the comments heard to-
day on the work Of board last evening,
the action of the directors meets with
the approval of every person interested
directly or indirectly in the schools.
The pupils of today will receive the
benefit of the full course of studies, and
two months will mean considerable to
those who will end their school days
with the present term.
The length of the term was fixed last
August at seven months, or longer If the
funds should permit. When this action
was taken the probability of the coal
strike affecting the collection of taxes
was considered, hence the minimum
number of months was set.
The strike having ended favorably to
the majority of the taxpayers, the col
lector was thereby enabled to secure a
larger amount of revenue than had
been anticipated and the board was
placed in a position whereby the term
could be increased without adding any
thing to the floating Indebtedness of the
district.
That the directors were equal to the
occasion and disposed of the question in
a proper manner has called forth gen
eral appreciation from every friend OF
the local schools.

the fact that on the four large brick
