ed Its twelfth anniversary on ll'ednesilav
by- Issuing a sixteen pago edition. The
Times Is the leslllmato product of true and
fearless journalism, and as an exposition of
push, pluck and perseverance the news
paper world has no superiors and but very
few equals.
The Democrats op Lehioiiton skicm
Ingly are sadly torn up over the result of
their spring election. As Is usual In all
such cases, made and provided, the sore and
dissatisfied are pitching terribly Into the
leaders. The leaders of the party In Le
hlghlon may bo a had set of fellows, hut It
is noticeable that they usually roll up some
big mnjoilties In Lehlghton under some,
times trying difficulties. Herald, Weath
erly. IiEIIIQHTON OWES MUCH OF ITS TRESENT
prosperity to the Building and Loan Asso
ciations of the past and present. The large
number of pleasant homes throughout the
town attest the.lrulh of this fact By Hie
monthly payment of a few dollars for a
specified number of years, a poor mau who
takes advantage of the benefits of Hie Ii
and L. A., becomes a house owner instead
of a house renter. When this fact la con
sidered, the advantages can be better under
stood than written of.
A Washington correspondent says:
Most of the mero sight-seers and celebrants
have gone borne. The men who crowd the
hotel lobbies the departments and the White
Ilouse now are here for business. Tliej
want the offices, and If being persistent and
always present'eounts for anything the
uifan to have them. They want t lie for
elgn missions, consulates, assistant secreta
ryships, qommlssionerslilos and the chief
Dlaces In the various bureaus. They have
traded oft the term "office seeker" for thai
of candidate.

ence we observe that new viewers have
been appointed in the matter of the pio
posed new bridge across the Lchlgli river
at this place. Wo trust the gentlemen in
question will be specific in presenting this
report to the Grand Jury for approval so
that no unnecessary delay may be occas
Ioned before the matter reaches the hands
of the County Commissioners. IPe sug.
gested.heretofore the advisability of gettlnj;
up a petition for presentation to the Com
missloners upon the report reaching them,
between now and April Tould be a good
time to do this.
There was joy in the heart of the
progressIveLehlghtonian on Thursdaywlien
it became known that a current of water
which promises to yield a sufficiency for all
purposes, was struck at the artesian well.
Everybody was happy from the small bo)
up iu anticipation of the benefits and ad
vantages to be derived from a first-class
water supply with which we expect out
town soon to bo furnished. The stock
holders and monled men should not lag In
their efforts to push the work so that loi'g
before autumlnal tints give place to sum
mer's brightness we will have what a 1
along we have "pra cd" for, viz: a BrM
class water supply.
It was- talked of sometime aoo
that the borough fatiers contemplated
revising, remodelling or reconstructing, th
borough ordinances so that they would fit
Lehlghton of to-day. Upon hearing tin
rumor the Advocate; advised tin
council to proceed at once with the com
mendabie project. Whether the council
mai'lc body have done aught as yet in the
the matter we nave not heard, so we once
more urge upon that progressive body to
proceed, in order thai Lehlghton need ntl
jugglt itself In order to conform with the
antique ordinances that governed us as a
vllllage d score of years ago. We air
growing, booming, and five years from now
with a good water suuply, proper street
illumination and good roads l.ehlghiun
will lead ali towns In the Lehigh Valley,
not only in population but In all the attri
butes essential to a first-class town. Theie
are a good many who won't bllev this,
and there are quite a number who will, nfl
let us all join In the work of booain thai
the leward may be equally divided.
It is with regret that we learn of
the retirement from the field of journalism
of John Dershuck of the Hazleton 1'lctin
Speaker, who has been failing In health for
tome months past. For many years It has
been our pleasure to know personally John
Dershuck, whose ccnUl nature, generous J
attributes and charitable qualities made
him ths friend of everybody. Positive in
action, with Indomitable p'sh, pluck and
coaheadltiveness he originated tlio Hazleton
Plain Speaker almost a decade ago, and
" Through paths where dark disaster lurks,
And disappointment (.ore beset,"
he struggled bravel, manfully until dark
ness gave way to sunshine ami the Plain
Speaker stood upon a foundation of solidit)
that found a basis impregnable on its
Strang qualities of independence, pluek and
spirit with which It protected the Interest
of the common masses against the powers
of the classes. Let us trust that he is not
entirely lost to tlio newspaper world and
higher Journalism, and that a few months
of quiet will .restore. Jiim to his usual healil
and re-place him at the.helm of the first
inland dally In the Keystone State.
BROADBRIM'S I Y. LETTER.
The Corslcan and Sicilian vendettas are
matters of history; running through count
less generations and frequently not stop
ping till one side or the oilier had not
material to vende.ta upon. Keniueky In
tunes past lias furnished tu with some ex
cedent specimens. Tennessee nnd West
Virginia have put in some very flue work
in the wa of roadside aasliiailoirs, but
we would hardly look foi a first cUa ten
aatiou of (hat Mini in the stxld e.ty of
Brooklyn. Yet, so It is On the oiiiskut
of the town lived luo well lo-dn (lerinan
families who had almost gioun up to
gether, and weie fmnllar, and happy as
happy coud be. They diauk the same
bock bier, munche.l 'he same llologua
sausage, seasoned the .repast with Schwlt.
r Kase and sour krout, anil frequently
wound up the even ng with coidous hha
tlons of schnapps straight from the Zuvder
Zee. Iu short, it was linpossblJor ai y
two families to be on more fiuiiliar terms
than tbe Shullzs and the Sclilucliners: nor
.wers Uses pepU ycung and fellia, for
Mrs. Shultz had been married twenty-five
years, anWIrs. Schtuchuer over thirty; both
had families grown up, and somo of tbeii
children were married. Business had
prospered with the Shullzs and fortuno
had not been unkind to the Schuchners.
Kacli lived in his own home nnd had a nice
little sum laid anay In a stocking for a
rainy day, Hut there Is no such thing as
perfect bliss in this miserable world ol ours,
and that these two families soon fotind out.
Schluchuer was a gay old boy,x verging
towards sixty, it Is true, but as lively as a
two-year-old colt. Mrs. iichluchner was
not uncomely to look upon, but old
Schlitchner found something very much
more attractive over at Shultz's mansion
than hi) found at his own pretty Utile
cottage. It was not very long fiefore
Shultz began to smell an exceedingly large
sized mice, and Mrs. Scliluchner's ees
would snap like a first class d namo every
time her haudsome neighbor came In
Ight.
In a ycry short .time war was declarod,
and Mrs. Sclilucliner made it exceedingly
warm for Mr. Sehluchner and Mrs. Shultz.
Mr. Shultz, scandalized by his wife's be-
havlo. , left her and setup a seperale es
tablishment for himself, and Mr. Sehluch
ner all alone In her glory. The war waged
hot, and one day last week Shultz went
home; he had been some time getting bis
courage up to the sticking point, but he
did gel It up at last, and on Mrs. Shultz re
monstrating with him for his com! net. he
made a rush for her and gave her a terrible
beating. She fled to the barn for safety
and Shultz went to bed. The next morn
ing Mrs Shultz got up, went to her bureau
and tikhm a small Smith it Wesson re-
volver blew her brains out. The news
dew like wildfire through the neighborhood,
and one of Che first to hear the joyful in
lelligence was Mrs. Sehluchner. IHien the
messenger told hei that her enemy was
dead, she fairly danced for jo. She sent
down to the drvgoods store and got a lot of
crape, and getting a large American flat:
she embroidered it aji around with black,
and when the job was finished she flung it
to the breeze out' of her front window
-lie took no pains to conceal from Iter
neighbors the fact that she was cclebratinu
the dealt) of Mrs. Shultz. Then the neigh
bors became Indignant and vowed yenge-
.mee on the Schulchiiers. Uer sons kept a
grocery store and iliev backed their.uiothei
up in what she had done, b'lt they soon lie-
jan to tiiiil that nobody would huv any
thing of them,, so as financial ruin wit
staring them in the face, at the cud of three
da.vs Mrs. Sehluchner hauled down hei
ll.lL'.
The week has been an,exceedlngly llveh
one among the Republican politicians who
were preparing to take a hand in the In
auguration. It is marvelous where all tin'
money comes from, but it conies. The
clans turned out by hnudreds.and a swellei
looklug lot It would he hard to find. The
uniforms were unique, and there were high
white hats and white top-coats, patent
leather shoes, and buttonhole bouquets
There were dark Prince Albert coats and
fawn colored pants, white chokers and
high collars that almost cut off thelHieails
otoe wore ulsters with massive capes,
while others displayed their manly forms
m swallow tailed coates and lov cut vests
It was a very Democratic crowd; while
every one was as swell as swell could he
ili'ie was no putting on airs. The five
hundred heelers from Johnny O'Brien s-
Elahlh Assembly District cracked jokt s
Willi the silk slocking brigade led by Col
Ctugar, and made themselves eutirelx com
fortable and happy as happy could be;
and the Mike Daily lesion from Brookht
flanked bv the John Y ilelCuie battalion,
slmied Ihegloiy of the day, especially as It
wan knoun that it was John Y. MeKam
Alio pulled dow n the majority of Kings
Jounty, and by doing so rendered the elec
tion of Mr. Harrison possible.
I well recollect the departure of the elan
to Washington four years ago. Thcuuni
Democracy was then on top and Tauimaiit
was only a lemyle contingent. The Miki
ilurphy legion filled sixteen cars, and tin
eoimnlslar department alone had proven
der ami drink for an arm twice the size
I saw them depart gallant and cay, and at
the end of three da s I saw the return of
the shattered remnant, for one-half of
them came back upon their uppers. The-
Republicans goiback In much better shape.
Satuiday and Sunday were eventful day
for tlio rail mad people. Train afler train
rolled out but seemed to make very little
Impression on the crowd. At last the
were all provided for and got off, tliei
s iw the, great pageant and uot back. All
agreed t'l.it It was a great show, but the
said liny had had all the inauguration the)
wanted and were well satisfied to get back
liomtt.
HaSrv Genet is slowly d Ing of a painful
llseaso which only makes his death a ques
lion of a few weeks. Many who luve en
teied on public life within the last ten yean.
may ask who Is Harrv Genet? You would
not have had to ask that question fourteei
or tilieen years ago. when Win. M. Tweed
as a power In the city and Prince Han
(ienet wore the largest of tlio tiger badges
on his coal and the costliest of diamonds on
hln maslve shirt front. The diamend ring
on his finger proclaimed lilin a prince of the
blood, and noonedlsputed his right to reign
(ia times were those for Prince Hal. If
he wanted money he had only to draw- his
check on the city treasury anil the money
came just the same as it- would fur the
autograph of a Vandrrbilt or a Gould
With the collapse of the Tweed ring Harrv
Genet became a fugitive from justice, and,
escaping the officers who arrested linn, lav
in nlillng for man weeks. He might have
escaped to Canada, as many other booiilers
have done, but life out of New York -for
him was only a living death, so at last he
surrendered himself and stood his trial; he
was convicted, but a merciful Judge.liistead
of sending him to Stale pi Ison committed
him to the penitentiaay.where all the keeji
ers and otlieers were his old-time friends
lhe cropped his head and shaved off ids
luxuriant mustache and compelled him to
don a convict l. striped suit, and lie matched
In the loekstep with thieves and murderers.
At last his time o.' Imprisonment ended and
ho had scaicely cast his convict's stripes
when some Indiscieet friends nominate!!
him foi the Legiilaiuie. He failed of elec
tion and opened a saloon; there was a rush
for a few days ami then the saloon became
bankrupt. Old friends whom he had a-,
shied in the day of ills power pas.'cd him
In unnoticed in (lie street and the InuMi-
lude bloke liW heart. Unfortunate specu
lations and false friend swept away the
hulk of Ids ill gotten gains and ho fell the
day of doom and retribution had come.
The ten iblu disease, cancer In the mouth,
attacked htm, and now, in suffering inde
scribable, ends a life that twenty vears ao
jiiomiieil lo be one of the ga-esl and mist
promising In this cav ami hus capital, iiis
fate should Ilea warning to all oiimj men.
Nature, did everyililu for him. Fortune
reached out her hand to aid hi in, hut ha
bartered ho(,e, lame and honor for the com-
ji&uloBihlp of sninsltrs ami lVl. B.
threw the chances uf life upon a single cast
for Ill-gotten gold and lost.
Another sad sight Is Henry S. Ives ahd
his partner Stayner In Ludlow street Jail.
A year ago Henry S. Ives had his town
house, his conn try hrnue, his yacht; ret Hi
ttes of fcrvants who waited his bidding; his
check was good for millions. Old-men rep
le.'cntlng the wealth and lionnr of tlio ell v
stood uncovered In the presence of this
stripling who In two short years had ilsen
from an humble clerkship to the Control of
thousands of miles of railroad, till all Wall
street ooked upon this oung Napoleon os
the only man who cotilil possibly down Jay
Gould. Ho had already effected a combi
nation that made the Little Wltzsrd trem
ble,"and the future seemed big with fate.
Wall street had Ferdinand Ward fast In
State prison, and hpre was another case
almost parallel to Ward's, lioth had started
on tlio same capllal cheek and both li.nl
created millions out of the same capita
tomcZ. And for wind and cheek Wall stieet,
Cincinnati, Ualtimorc,Ulileag'ojind St. Louis
laid down nearly twenty millions In solid
gnld. Just think of il! Hard fisted old
curmudgeons vho would pinch a p'llvcr dol
lar till thsy made the eagle squeal, unlocked
their strong boxes to this windy financier
and bade him help himself to all he wanted,
and he did. In two years the bubble burst
and now Henry S. Ives and his partner
Stayner aro lodged In Ludlow street jail
Willi the almost certain prospect of State
pilson before them.
And as if this was not enough for one
week, the town was startled with the Intel
ligence that Gen. Franz Slgel's son had
swindled the pension office, of which he
had charge, to the amount of thousands of
dollars. While there is no svmpath fell
for the swindler himself, the deepest and
most profound sympathy Is felt for Ills hon
ored father, who placed in him the utmost
confidence. For the past two or three vears
It appears that he has systematically vlolal ed
the law b extorting fees and forging names.
Should he be convicted on the counts now.
against him he would not get out of pilson
for a bundled and fifty years.

AN EASTERN TALE.
A kinr; once summoned his three sons,
And thus addressed the anxious ones :
"Go forth, my sons, through all the earth
And search for articles of worth ;
Then he who brings the choicest thing,
Shall in my stead be crowned as king."
In one year's time again they meet,
And kneel before the so'vereign's fect :
And as with gracious outstretched hand,
He welcomed home the youthful band,
He natural eagerness expressed,
To see the objects of their quest.
The first such lustrous pearls displays,
That every tongue is loud in praise.
So white, the snow-flakes on their way
Compared to them arc dull and gray.
The next a diamond more pure,
And larger than the Koh-i-noor,
That shone with such a brilliant light,
The sunbeams, shamed, withdrew from

'Twas hard to choose between the two,
The monarch knew not what to do.
The third is standing calmly there;
Now, with a half triumphant air
And smile of confidence and hope,
He shows a cake of Ivory Soap,
So peerless in its purity,
That dirt, alarmed, takes wings to fly.
The old king, asit meets his sight,
Grasps it, and cries in wild delight:
" No more confusion or dismay,
No more cold meals on washing day.
Subjects ! my youngest son obey,
The Ivory Soap has won the day."
