It has been said that his opinions were care

supreme court did hint the distinguished
honor el making his opinion thelr ew n, and
alllruilng his judgment. Ills conclusions
wero almost always right oieu wheru Ids

though net a great judge It may be said of
Judge Leng, as It bus bcnii said or a greater
Jurist, 'hlsjuillcl.il Integrity has never been

Judge Leng Is rich- ene et the wealthiest
men In thn county, lie luherllnd seme
property from Ids lather, and seme came te
him Irnm hlswlfe, but en thn wnnlnhehas
been thn architect el his own rertiinn. Prugal
aud n-eti leal his ex'ties havobeen light,
w Ith the oxcetIon that his hand Is e or ejven
te deserving prlvatn or public charilli-s.
Having geed Jmlginent he Invested nafely In
real ostate that rapidly onhanceit In value,
and in stocks, Imndsand mortgages that re
turned handsoine dividends. He owns per
haps morn turnpike stock than any ether
man In thn county, and It Is almost lmios.l lmies.l
tilii lodrive mil of or Inte L-tncaster without
being required te drop tell at a turnpike gate
In which he has nn Interest.
Having gathered the nlsne facts from ro re ro
cerdisl history, tradition, and the art of the
Interviewer, the Istih.i iui:.v Kit felt that It
might net 1st amiss te iy a personal visit te
the luilge In his littlii eltlcn In the little ene-
story htenn house Ne. Ul Last Orange street.
A rap en the deer, te which there Is
nolther knockerorboll, was answensl by the
enorable Jurist, who with a Hinllnandabevv
asked Jho Intruder te enter. 1 he smile van

t-ry plainly that he did net seek new simper
notoriety, and that he thought thn public did
net earn te knew mere about him than was
already Known, llu said' his. life had been
rather an uneventful one, notwithstanding
the tact that he had se long held elllclul sla
lien.
The ioierl r suggested that there might
he some recollections of his boyhood that
would beet Interest te people of teslay.
"Well," said tlie Judge, warming upii little,
"IAticnsler was a vorydltleroiit looking town
when I was a Isiy from what It is new, and
the peeple were very dlllorent people, and
had very dlllorent manners mid customs.
The schools were all pay schools and or In
ferior grade; ljinc.ister was then n sporting
town, and colebratod horses wero brought
from all parts or thn 1'uleu te run en the
Ivncaster track, and thousands or dollars
changed hands en overy race."
Judge Leng remembers very well when
the war or HIJ II brokeout and hew (.'apts.
Hamilton and llamhrlght raised conipaiiles

hew en their return home they camped en

hundreds of citrons went out te escort them

It is Indeed a most romarkable statu of
allalrs that men paid in cash, or their wlves
who go te the stere, having ready money, as
Is nlleged, would v e! tin bully geand exebange
It rer this scrip as a matter or "convenience"
or economy. When this pitiful business geU
down te one, two and three cent purchases it
is an loeeviuentiiiai
the design Is the

and net the benefit
of the men. Why,

The " I'lilrk-Me Meres.
The object and operation of such company
stores as that of the Reaver concern, for
whose benefit this scrip Is issued, are related
by llenry (leorge lu the current number el
the Serih liirii-ii llcciew, lle says ;
Theso " pliiek-me" steres seem le well do de do
serve the name the miners have given thorn,
the prices charged lu thorn running from l.
te loe per cent, abeve ordinary rebill rates,
probably averaging rrem i"i te 10 per cent.
Quality, tee, Is sometimes in inverse relation
te price, as when a miner bitterly complain
ed te me that while fresh roll butter could
1m3 bought ter 2.' cents a eund, the company
stere charged -Ti cents a pound ter butter
"strong enough te pull a air up a slope."
It is doubtless true that there are seme com cem
piny stores centent te chirge only ordinary
price, but iu the ceurse et conversations
with miners representing pretty much all
the mining districts el the state, 1 only heard
or ene. In tills case tlie company stere has
passed tn the widow or a deceased momber
or the mining linn, and this lady, who lives,
I believe, In New Yerk, has Issued strict or
ders that prices shall net be higher than In
ordinary stores.
Frem the Htore-kooS)r's standpoint, thore
can be no prettler business than lhecemiauy
store. It has all the economic advantages
or the best en-operatlvo stere without
any division et pretlts. Thore nre no
bad debts, no dead stock, no oxpensos
for advertising or shoving oil goods,
or in any way attracting custom. In
putchaMiig, they knew Just what is wanted
and can gel the very lewe-st rates,and in soil
ing have no competitors te intreduce mero
taking goods or te cut prices. Charging or
dinary rates, they would tsj very prolltable,
and charging such prices as they de, it is no
wonder that they are looked en, by the
smaller oeraters at least, as yielding no in in in
conslderablo part of the pretlts or mining.
In tbe bituminous region, it is sid that the
company that runs a store can allerd if need
Is? te soil coal at rrem a quarter te a half cent
issr bushel cheaper than the oporater who
has none, and were it net ler their e-outrel of
transportation, tlie great compauies like the
Reading could net sustain In the anthraclte
regions the competition of the operators who
thus get back a geed part of the wages they
pay their men.
A HOLLOW ill CI.AUVTIO,
Thore U noavewod compulsion In dealing
with these steres, but It nevertheless as
elleictlvely exists. The operators would
doubtless doclare that the men are free te
buy where they please, and that they only
maintain the stores for the convenience of
their empleyes. Thore are two things that
de make it convenient for the men te deal at
theso stores. 1st. Where the company owns
tlie land of the village ue ethor stere is al
lowed tn be set up ; and -d, as the miners are
only paid by the month, and that rrem two
te three weeks (afler thu end et the mouth,
they are frequently unable te purchase olso elso olse
wliero. Hut, In addition te this, It is gen
erally well uudorsteod that meu must make
thelr purchases at thoeempany stores, and it
a man falls te de se he will receive a hint
from ene or the " bosses " (feremen), or be
quietly informed at the end or the
month that his sorvices are ue longer
noeded. 1 was tehl byonueftho delegates
te the Miners' convention In A 1 toen a el a
case which occurred a few mouths age in
Klk county, whero a miner's w lle brought a
basket with her Inte the comp my store. The
store-keopor took occasion te raise the lid of
the basket, and finding In It a purchase she
had in ado at anether stuns her husband was
the next day discharged wlthoiitexplanatien,
though the case was well understood. Ner
are such stories Incredible. Men accustomed
te belleve In a pluck-me tarlll are net likely
vtosee much Impropriety In a pluck-me store,
and thore Is no dllloreuco iu principle be
tween the searching of n trunk te seeUiat an
American returning Irem abroad has net
brought anything el low-price lorelgners, and
thu lnsiN?ctleu of a market bosket
te see that a miner's wife has
net bought anything el n low - price
store. And 1 am luitn stire tint Prolesser
Rebert Kills Thompson, olthe University of
Pennsylvania, could, if hocheso te, make
qulte as geed mi arguuient te prevu that
Pennsylvania miners are profited by belng
compelloj tn pay nign pnees ie inuir com
pany stores, as he does te preve that all
Americans are enriched by being cempelled
te pay high prices te their protecled pro pre
elucers. It Is nt least, net te lie wondered at,
that the proprietors el these company Btores,
belng accustomed te bellove that the nation
at large should be protected from cheap
goods, should endeavor te protect their own
miners.

And further than the compulsion te buy nt
the company stere In proferonco te buy else else
where, itsoems te be gonerally well under undor undor
stoed that the man who spends the largest
part el his earnings In the stere aud has least

With the small earnings et the ininers, It 1",
under these circumstances, no wonder that a

gatherings of coal miners from various dis

that this Is the habitual condition el many

In the same way. I have evon heard efa
stere order lielng given for the putting or n
patch en the tee or a shoe. This system, or
course, oiieratos te make the company the
great all-in-all or the district.
The coal miners el Pennsylvania are net,
howevor, what In this country we call iioens.
As a class, the coal miners are net allowed le
run In debt te thoeempany. There are seme
oxceptlons, as, for Instance, when a man
working under contract is doing unprolltable
work as a preliminary te getting at prolltable
work, or when It Is otherwise certain that he
will remain aud work out his Indobtednoss;
butthorule is that until wages lisve Ix.'en
earned they cannot be drawn against at the
stere. This rule Is otten unforced te the very
cent, and I have heard of llve potateos belng
held back out of abusliel, bocausetho miner's
credit fell a few cents short of the price. Rut
through the stere the miner can get his
wages as seen as he has oarned thorn, whlle
te get them in cash he may have te wait a
month or six weeks. And feeling It hopeless
te try te get mero than a living, many of the
miners seem toreslgn themselves togettlng
all they can at the store, as the way of getting
the best living, the " bob tailed check " men
Isjing preferred ompleyes.
A MVTTF.U Of IBNTIMKNT.
The feeling In Pennsylvania against com
pany steres, which Is bitter and deep, has In
it something mero than objection te their
high prices. This is the point en which the
miners dwell in talking almut the system,
but beneath that there Is, I think, a matter of
sentiment, the man (and especially the
foniale man) who can buy whero he pleases,
reellng hlmself freer than ene who Is obliged
te buy at ene particular place. The stere or
the great Cambria Iren aud Steel company
(net a mining but a manulacturing cempan) )
at Johnstown, Pennsylvania, sellsas cheaply
as the Individual stores, but ir I am correctly
Informed is nevertheless much disliked by
the men. The only explanation I was able te
get is that the having te purchase at the com
iwny stere marks asocial distinction the pen
ple who are able te buy where they ploase
constituting asnrt or superior classef Ireomen.
Perhaps, also, this feeling may In seme jmrt
