Hints of Corrupt Influences Brought

Pointed Advice of Correspondent
Leslie Tonight's Session of the
Council Promises to Be Replete
with Incidents of Interest to Pittston
Taxpayers.
ftienVi In the Scranton Trilmn:
Pittston, Sept. 9.
BEFORE the dawn of tomorrow's
suu the latoHt reformer of Pitts
ton politics will receive another
black eye. The blow will be in
llicted at the meeting of the eounuil
which occurs this evening and the
knock-ont, it is. sail, wilt be tbe most
humiliating received silica Tom Corcor
an defeated him at the recent dulegato
election. Since the organization of the
prexunt council, this oomicilmanio
leader has felt that while being able to
handle the five conuciliuen who here
tofore had made, a working com
bination, he bad nothing to fear.
13 ut things bave taken a cbimgo nud
the rouent junket is in a great measure
reRpnnrdble for it. The fact that the
combination of six, including bimstdf,
would be snbserviHiit for all time to his
wishes was apparently all that this
gentleman stopped to consider. Alas I
the many nrgumunls advanced to the
combination while on the recent junket
by the several pave promoters were, it
is said, more than thoy aonld rtmt.
Thii evening the bids for paving will
be announced and while a breathless
siieni'o may prevail The TRIUUNB aor
rcHioii(l"nt has information that the
Mack Prick company, of Canton, O ,
will be awarded the contract. It is
this fact that has caused the breach in
the combination. A minority of the
council, ohiut or which is the reformer
already alluded to, favors asphalt,
while u majority favors the brick pave.
The reformer has been strenuously en
deavoring to win over a sufficient num
ber of the majority members, even go
ing so far as to approach by tbs aid of
an intermediary those members whom
he bus been abusing and ordered ar
retted on several occasions, but with
out success.
DOES IT MEAN BRIBF.UY?
From a source that The Thhiune
correspondent knows to be trustworthy
and one that is in a position to know,
information is received that "there is
money going, but not a lare amount."
What the amount is our informant
would not state, but rumor on the
street bints that a fund of botwesu
$4,0K and $3,000 is among the possibil
ities. iivB hundred dollars is the
amount a certain member is said to
have stated to the bartendor of a prom
inent hotel some two months ago hi
was to receive in case tho paving ques
tion carried.
As is well known dnring the past
five or six weeks, two, and. during tin
past week, as many as five, pavinw
agents bave been stopping at the best
hotels of tho town in order that they
might be within reach when lhoir
presence was needed either on busues
or pleasure.
BILLY LESLIE'S ADVICE.
Billy Leslie, the intrepid correrpond-
ent ot Eluitra Telegram, in yesturday'e
Issue oi that paper, warns tbe council-
luen, wbose welfare be has at heart, ns
follows: "Do not allow yourselves to
be made tbe tools of these paving men.
uetore you vote In favor of any bricK.
be sure yon have the dust first stowed
away in your inside pockets, Rely on
their prouiie-p, and you can go whistle
for tbe long gteeu. Be business men
for once in your lives, and give
these, ftllows to understand that
your terms are cash in advnnce
Never mind tbe Main street prop
erty owners or the Browntown,
Hugbestown and Oregon taxpayers.
What right bave they to meddle in
your business transaction? Pay no
attention whatever to the Sciianton
1 itintJNK nflidavits. What right has
'J Htt TuuiUNii or any other reputable
paper to poke its nose in yonr buainea?
Affidavits be hanged. Who ever hoard
of an nfiidsvit crawling on its baok into
the conucilmanio .chamber of Pittston?
Kick them out, kick the citizens out,
kick ben H'irding out honest men
bave no business whatever listening to
honest business transactions. Awav
with them, away with everybody and
everything, and let ns give three
oheer for King Boodle, the glistening
rascal which makes ns all happy."

The African's lie lief in Fate.
Terhups the most interesting races with
whom I bave beeu thrown iu contact are
tbe African. I have moio especially had
to do with tbe natives of Kiist Africa, who
are Mohammedans of a somewhat lax and
unorthodox type, and yet, owing to their
implicit acceptance of Mohammed's fatal
istic doctrines, their submission to kismet
is so complete as distinctly to influence the
course of their illnesses.
Indirectly it, does so in the following
way: When a Sidi boy incurs, for instance,
a wound on his leg, ho thinks that if Allah
wills that this should get well its healing
is certain, hut if the divine wish is other
wise no human skill or care can do one
iota of good. On this account details of
simpUv-ilressing and protection aro quite
neglected by this poor fellow, or as much
so as tho aurgeou will allow. If under
discipline be is willing to havo his name
on the sick list for the privileges which
belong to it, but In his heart bo despises
surgical treatment. Clearly, then, the
prognosis with such a case is much worso
than it would be in other subjects.
The same argument applies with much
greater force to medical cases, on account
of the childlike ignorance which exists
among such people as to what disease act
ually means.
This extreme and apathet ic dependence
on faUi forms tho greatest difficulty with
which the physician has- to contend. It
speaks well for the blind religious faith of
these raees, and puts to shame many pro
fessing Christians on their sick beds, but
it raists many lives, and entails much ex
tra work on medical attendants, who havo
perhaps to administer remedies with their
own hands, and that often under great
difficulties and at much prrsoual sacrifice.

Cnsh of the j:rly Ancients.
The familiar little brass cash, with the
square hole for stringing t hem together on
a thread in the renter, well knowu to the
frequenters of minor provincial museums,
are, strange to say, the lineal descendants,
in unbroken order, of the bronze ax of re
mote Celestial ancestors. From the regu
lar hatchet to the modern coin one can
trace a distinct, if somewhat broken suc
cession, so that, it is impossible to say where
the one leaves of! and the other begins
where the implement, merges into the me
dium of exchange and settles down linally
info the root, of all evil. Hern is how this
curious pedigree first worked it.self out.
In early times, before coin was invented,
barter was usually conducted between pro
ducer nnd consumer with metal imple
ments, ns it, st ill is in central Africa at. the
present, day.
At first, the Chinese in that unsophisti
cated age were content to use real hatchets
for this commercial purpose, but after n
time, with tho profound mercantile in
stinct of their race, it occurred to some of
them that when a man wanted half a
batchet's worth of goods he. mlglit, as well
pay for them with half a hatchet. Still, as
it, would lie a pity to spoil a good working
implement by cutting it, btwo, the worthy
Ah Sin ingeniously compromised tho mat
ter by making thin hatchets of the usual
size, nnd shape, but far ton slender foi
practical usage. By so doing he invented
coin, and, what is moro, he invented it fai
earlier than the rival claimants to that
proud distinction, tho Iij-diitiis, whose
electrum staters wore first struck in the

The abbe accepted au invitation of the
Prince de Conti to dinner, but forgot the
date, and at tho dinner his chair was va
cant. The next day a friend said to him:
"Monseigneur was very angry with yon
yesterday." The abbe felt t hat ho had been
remiss and attended tho prince's next re
Ception to oiler an humble apology.
His highness, as soon as he perceived hit
discourteous guest, turned his back. But
the undaunted abho exclaimed:
"Oh monseigneur, you overwhelm mt
with gratitude. Iliad been told that you
never more would havo anything to (It
Wit h mo; but I am happy to seo that I hav
been misinformed."
"How?" asked tho prince.

seasoned them liberally wi'J salt, pcppei

part of tho performance was that ho at

"Two other customers como hero foi

"who eat their eggs that way. They oniei
three eggs at every meal; so, you see, eacl

An Unsolved Problem.
To call right, handedness an instinct ma
seem to some an evasion of the question,
an explanation which does not explain
but this criticism is not just. We call cer
tain phenomena electrical, though wo do
not know what electricity is, and iu Urn
sumo way we may call others instinctive,
though wo must content ourselves with
delining nn instinct as an inborn impulsi
to certain actions for tho benefit of tho in
dividual or his descendants, depending nei
ther on reason nor experience. When w
understand instinct, then, and no sooner,
we may hope to understand right handed
ness nnd to know why it is sometimes ro
versed. Thomas Dwight, M. D., in Scrib
