A' double disappointment occurred to
Bt. Leo's Glee club In M ears' hatl last
evening, when a number of the par
ticipants failed to materialize, and
when the attendance was anything but
encouraging. The programme as given,
however, merited the applause received,
and what enjoyment was lacklnc In
the entertainment was fully made u?
In the social which followed.
John H. Dcvlne was chairman of
the evening, and seated on the stage
were a dozen members of the Glee club
In full evening dress. The stage set
tings were entirely now and much ad
mired by the patrons. New scenery
was In evidence and the furniture and
curtains were especially secured for the
occasion. The Glee cluo sang three
numbers and showed much Improve
ment since their last public appear
ance. Miss Kato Iteardon played three
piano selections and also furnished the
music for dancing. Will F. Burke, the
song writer and comedian, gave a
clever monologue, which was very well
received. Miss Anna Scanlon, one of
the most promising of the younser
soloists in the city, sang "This Is My
Dream of You," and received an en
core, which showed that her effort was
appreciated. She was accompanied by
Miss Mamc Cavanaugh.
John Shaughnessy sang a solo In his
usual clever manner, and the Glee club
closed the entertainment with an ex
cellent rendition of "Farewell." The
club contains some splendid material
and under the direction of Prof. John
T. Watklns will undoubtedly be heara
from in musical circles. A programme
of up-to-date dances was enjoyed for
eevcral hours after the entertainment.
I'rythcrch presided and Mr. Thomas
had charge of the musical programme.

tiser and well-known everywhere
throughout this vicinity. About a year

ness on a large scale In connection
with his Jewelry business. The venture
did not turn out as profitable ns ex
pected, and he was closed In bank
ruptcy. Mr. Staley was a conscientious
man. His business troubles cuused him
considerable worry, and last October
he was taken to the Easton sanitarium
for treatment. He remained there for
several months and his condition show
ing signs of Improvement, he was then
taken to the home of his brother In

Staley went to New Jersey for the pur
pose of bringing her husband hero.

out him. Shortly after arriving here,
word was received that the cast-bound
Black Diamond had killed a man near
Sugar Notch, a short distance below

ing with Mr. Staley, relatives went to

Mr. Staley was about forty-flvo years
of age, and is survived by a wlfd
and four children. Tho remains wero
brought to this city.

America has a magnificent opportun

of ho many chances will surely not fall
to reap for Its commerce the benefits
which It has earned by Its bravery.
The possession of the Philippine islands
brings the United States close up to
the greatest markets in the world
markets which havo only Just begun to
be developed, but which have already
shown a capacity for development thnt
a great commercial people will under
stand. There are many millions of peo
ple In China, and they aro ready to buy
from other nations tho thlncs which
they can use. Some In America seem
to think that the Chinese now manu
facture practically all that Is sufficient
for their own needs. Far from It. Of
course, It Is true that for centuries bo
fore China was open to foreign trade
its people made the goods they used,
and this seemed sufficient; but now
China Is open to forosn trade, and
manufactured goods come from Amer
ica and Europe. Wo buy them readily.
America can sell us goods more cheap
ly than our people could manufacture
them. This Is true especially of cotton
cloth. That which we manufacture
ourselves wo weave with our own
hands, and it Is very durable; but the
American product Is very fine In com
parison, and now It has como to be In
common use with us. In some parts of
tho empire American and English cot
tons have taken almost entirely the
place of our native manufacture. With
finer dresses, silks, and that sort of
thing. It Is not yet true; but with
cheaper articles It Is.
MODERN CHINA.
China takes kindly to Improvements.
Wo have not only tho railroad, but tho
telegraph and tho telephone. Tho tele
graph linos extend throughout tho
length and breadth of China. Thero Is
not a province now without tho tele
graph. Tho first cable In China was
laid by tho Danish company, and our
principal telegraph company Is now
superintended by a Danish engineer.
The llrst telegraph company was or
ganized by an official named Sheng
Hsuan Hual, commonly , known ns
Sheng Taotal. He Induced Chinese
merchants to subscribe and built tho
lino under government protection. The
lino extended from Tientsin fQ" a short
distance; then it was continued to
Shanghai; then to Poking, and so
branched out from north to south,
from east to west. This was twenty
years ago, and the telegraph built by
private enterprise tinder government
control, with Danish operatives, In the
main now covers a wide extent of ter
ritory. When It camo to extending tho
system to more remoto parts of tho
country tho prlvato commercial coni
pany did not llko to undertake the con
struction, nnd so the government has
built these lines Itself. Thus there are
practically two systems, one semi-official,
the other solely under government
control.
Tho telephone has been Introduced
more recently. The first telephones
were brought In by foreigners for their
own convenience, and their use spread
gradually. The first line was put up at
Shanghai, and others followed in dif
ferent treaty ports. They are all man
aged by different private companies.
Wo havo no long-distance telephone an
yet, but that will come In time. With
the railroad, tho telegraph, the tele
phone, and a great population thickly
settling a vast extent of territory, the
future possibilities of tho Chinese trade
must appeal to the commercial In
stincts of tho United States. With a
foothold in tho Philippines, America
will havo a great advantage over other
nations which lack possessions in that
part of tho world. If Americans know
how to turn this to good account they
will bo able to do wonders.

A Follower of Measles.
In many Instances a persistent cough
follows an attack of measles. In speak
ing of this Mr. Walter U. Heel, editor
of the Elkln (N. C.) Times, says:
"Threo weeks ago I had an attack of
measles which loft me with a bad
cough. I tok several doses of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and the cough
has entirely disappeared. I consider
Chamberlain's medicines tho best on
the market. For sale by all druggists.

Different Fates.
My neighbor's house Is hugt and grand,
Mine humble Is and small;
Of wealth he has store In hand,
And I have none at all;
liul neighbor's wife Is grim and gaunt,
A most repelling she;
While she who shares my toll and want
Is pretty as can be.
Ves, she Is bright as any pin,
And his spouse gaunt and grim;
Yet, could tho shekels bo throvsn In,
I'd like to trade with him!
