Eastoa Makes Our Townsman a Very
Mattering Offor. ,
A very flattering compliment has
been paid to 'one of Carbondale's most
progressive citizens. Professor W. P.
Gregory, principal of Wood's Business
college.
The compliment was from the people
of Easton, who desire Mr. Gregory to
return to that city and assume control
of the commercial department of the
public schools. A committee consisting
of William H. Warner was sent to this
city by the board of control to inter
view Mr. Gregory and obtain. If pos
sible, his return. He brought with him
a petition signed by every one of the
board and by over two hundred citi
zens. Mr. Gregory, however, to the great
delight of his many friends. inl espe
cially to his pupils, declined the tempt
ing offer. He has centered his affec
tions upon Carbondale, which he will
make his permanent home. Mr. Greg
ory, during his short residence here,
has showed himself to be an earnest
worker In all things that pertain to the
advancement of the city. We should
be sorry to lose him.
FIRST.CLASS PERFORM AN CF.
Nothing That Will Fqnnl It Eor Seen In
TtiNCHy
The performance of "The Sages" laBt
evenlnir at the opera house was first-
class In every respect, and nothing that
will equal It has ever been seen In this
city. It was laughable as well as In
structive, and there were no objection
able features which are so often found
in this class of entertainment.
It would be Impossible to enumerate
all the antics which the subjects passed
through.
Among the most Interesting was tne
passing of hat pins through the arm
and cheek of one of the subjects. No
pain was felt and no blood followed the
withdrawal of the pins. Other equally
marvelous feats were performed, the
entertainment cloning with a toboggan
race, which was about the funniest per
formed.

failures In business In the United

ceed assets, ever reported for a. like
period. The total (Including financial

In 1S94, and 1.443 more than In the first
quarter of 1893, increases of 18.11 and of
47 per cent., respectively. The largest
preceding like total, 4,050. wa rciovted
in lSS.-. Liabilities of those falling this

silver coin for the month of March was
$i8,244. and for the corresponding per
iod last year wns $7?!t.R"i3; from April
1 to 4 It aggregated $97,599.
BROAD TOP COAL TONNAGE.
The Huntingdon and Broad Top rail
road reports coal tonnmte for the past
week amounting to 63.558 tons, an In
crease over the same week last year of
6,398 tons; total for the year to date,
643,510 tons, an Increase of 57,067 tons.
THE COAL SITUATION.-"Not In
years," says the Stockholder, "has the
anthracite coal trade been as near a
unit In the matter of restriction and
the maintenance of prices as at pres
ent. Those familiar with the quibbling,
unhanded methods, broken promises,
and the like, characteristic of the trade
for years, well understand the present
condition Is not the result of change of
heart among the Interests, but due di
rectly to a control by a central body.
February and March are usually the
dullest months of the season, owing to
the hand-to-mouth policy that general
ly rules and the tote) absence of the
stocking demand. The fact that th"
interests have been passable through
these periods strictly adhering to their
agreement Is the best evidence that
when trade becomes better, m will be
the case when navigation on the lakes
and canals opens, they will reap their
reward. The conviction Is becoming
deep seated that on May 1 prices will
be 25 cents per ton higher than they
are at present. Even now, on a basis
of $3.60 for stove coal. New York har
bor, net, they are 55 cents per ton
above the averages of the month of
April, .1895. The average of the suc
ceeding month of 1895 flocreased. bo
that If the price Is advrtneed May 1, 1
as expected, it will be $3.83 net, com
pered with $3, the average in May,
1S95, or an Increase of 85 cents per ton.
The Interests can well afford to lose
tonnage In order to establish gains as
large as these. If the advance is mad
by May, there Is no question that It will
be followed by other advances as the
demand increases during the summer
and early fall, until stove coal is put
on a basis of $1.25 net. It Is extremely
Improbable that higher figures will be
sought, and it Is likely that $4 net will
be the figure the combination will seek
to obtain as an average for the twelve
months' business. This Is high enough
to return good profits, but not suffic
iently high to stimulate production on
the part of Independents, as waa the
case during the McLecd regime, when
the price was run un to nearly t4.60,
and kept between that figure ard $4.50
during November and December of
1892. and January and February of
1893. "
CHEAPNESS OF POTATOES. "Po
tatoes are fully 40 per cent, cheaper
now," said a leading receiver to a New
York Tribune reporter, "than thev were
on the corresponding date of last year.
This Is on account of the enormous
crop of 1895. which , is estimated at
400.000,000 bushels. The average annuel
crop is about 2S3.000.000 bushels, nr.d the
dl'Terence between It or-d the last crop
shows that there are 115,000,000 bushels
In excess of ordinary requirements.
This great surplus has entirely cut off
Importation and there are no foreign
potatoes in the market. The duty on
foreign potatoes is 15 cents a bushel,
and the freight ranges from six to ten
cents o bushel, so that In view of the
extremely low prices of domestic pota
toes foreign potatoes could not be hand
led here except at a large loss. This,
cf course, does not include new Havana
and Bermuda potatoes, which are now
coming In and being sold for from $4.60
to $5.60 a barrel for Havanns. No. 1
Bermuda selling; for from $5 to $6 a
barrel, and No. 2s from $3 to $4 a bar
rel." HONESDALE,
At last the postofflce fight that has
been raging for several months past
has been settled, and Miss Mary Gerety
lie received the appointment as post
mistress. The s.rpclntm?nt can hardly
be said to be a popular one nt the1 new
woman, craze has not gained a very
great foothr-ld in Honesdale ss yet. The
local Democracy arc grinding their
knives and looking for gore as they
feel that there has been treachery by
some of the bigger "guns" between here
and the white house..

To obtain best results a refrigerator must be thoroughly
:leaued onse a weeka difficult task ordinarily) but so easy
with The National. You simply remove ice chamber, drip
pan and waste pipe,, and there you are. (See cut.) An in
genious little device euables you to remove waste pan and
Irip cup from front, thus avoiding the old back breaking
method. These new points, coupled with a finely polished
oak case, carved panels 'and Roman gold trimmings make
this the simplest, most ornamental and economical refriger
itor on the market. Call or write for catalogue.

FACTS
Did you ever stop to con
sider how many $'s worth of
meat, milk, butter, etc., you
throw away every summer for
want of a good Refrigerator,
to say nothing of the incon
venience and extra cost ot be
ing compelled to buy all per
ishable articles in driblets.
Now a really good one will
save enough of those $'sinone
season to pay for itself, and
that is the title we claim for
the New National.
