POST CARD FAD The postal oard fad is being carried to great extremes. While the Post OBioe Department looks with favor upon souvenir cards that are inoffensive it is going after others uf the opposite sort in a way that promises to cut down the business considerably. During an interview with Postmast er O. P. Harder Tuesday some tacts were learned which.it is believed,will prove very interesting reading. Jt is trne many persons have the right idea ooncermng souvenir postal cards, and the oustom of sending oat cards con taining piotures of landmarks, im provements and bits of soenery, such as our new bridge with first trol ley oar, Christ Church and the like is quite within the law and should be encouraged ; bat there are another class of faddists who have a great deal to learn<for their own good and iu the interview with our postraastor will be found the information they need. Postmaster Harder called atteutiou to the faot that tho law enacted by Congress a few years ago provides that oards of the same size aud weight as the ordinary postal card may be ueut through the mails as ordinary postal cards provided a one-cont stamp he alflxed. The trouble is, he says, that while many of the printed oards sold as sonvenir postal cards meet theßO re quirements and can be written upon and sent through the mailß witli a 1- cent stamp affixed, a largo number ot others—probably the larger number sent out—are much bigger than the ordinary postal cards,or worso yet.ard made of leather or wood. All such cards as the latter, which do not meet the requirements, are mailed as merchandise at the rato of one cent per ounce, but if anything is written npon thorn, then tiiny reqaire letter postage, whioli Is two oonts per onnoe. The leather cards are about the same size as the ordinary postal cards, but they are muoli thicker and arc bar ed from the mails except as morclian dise. If written npon letter postage must be paid. The wooden souvenirs, larger and heavier, generally weigh more than an ounoe. If anything is written upon theße fonr cents iu stamps must bo affixed. Tho tronblo is that to most people, all souvenirs "look alike" and they affix one-cent stamps to big and little, write their messages upon the back and dump them Into the letter boxes. The great maj ority of course, being unmailable. do not reach their destination. There is another olassof postal cards that are indelicate aud offensive and it is this class that the Post Office De partment is after. Orders have been issued to stop all such cards. Post master Harder says that the Depart ment draws the line 011 girls in bath ing suits and on pictures with red devils accompanied by the legend : "I am having a of a time." Not one of suoh oards are permitted to reach the addressee, but are forwarded to the dead letter oilioe. Reading's New Product. A set of rolls liavo been "turned up" at the Reading Iron Works, this city, for the manufacture of"tie plates" and thus tho oapacity of tho plaut may be said to be increased, a new product being added. A tie plate, as implied by the name, is a steel plate inserted under the rail where it reßts upon the sleeper or tie for the purpose of protecting the lat ter. It is only a small plate of steel through which the spike is drivon in to tho oroas tie, the effoct of its use being to keep the rail from wearing iuto the tie and to prevent the water in times of raiu from following tho spike down into tho wood aud causing the tie to rot prematurely as is apt to be the oase where the plates are uot used. Tie plates are employed only here aud there ou railroads at present, but it will be but a few years until they will be iu geueral uso. It is to assist iu meeting this hoavy demand foroseeu that the Reading Iron Company has turned up a roll for the manufaoturo of a tie plate. It is a unique section having features pe culiar to itaelf and which it is believ ed will make it popular with railroad oompaniea. Many Don't Know This. An arrest of a man in Pittsburg for wearing a badge or button belougiug to a society of which he was uot a member, brings to miud that there is a law prohibiting the same, passed iu 1897, which roads as follows: "Any person who shall wilfully woar the insignia, badge, or button of any lab or or fraternal organization,or use the same to obtain aid or assistance with in this State, unless fte or she shall bo entitled to uso or wear the same under the constitution and by-laws, rules and regulatioua ol tho above named organization, shall be guilty of a mis demeanor and upon conviotiou, shall be punished by a flue uot to excoed »100." August Was a Very Rainy Month August, just elided, whh a vorj peonliar month iu many respects. More rain fell in thiH August tliau for any August iu thirty-four years, wit one exception. That was iu 1873, when lh-49 inches of rain came down. Dur ing August the rainfuii lias amounted to 9.51 inches, this being ft.lfi inches above tlio normal. For the mouth the temperature was 12 degroes bolow the uormal, which is 74. A peculiarity about the 000 land warm days is that they are bunched to a groat oxtent. There were three or four warm dnys, and then as many 000l days. The speer's Port drape and Bur gundy Wine. Are extra fine, they are blood ing aud pure natural tonic.

MITCHELL'S HEffS MORE[SANGUINE President John Mitohell iu his ad dress Saturday evening declared that President George Haer was roasouable, i keen and Blirewd, and felt that the coal operators would see their way clear to hold a conference with the leaders of the rainars before the term ination of the present agreement. It is the general conviction that Mr. Mitchell has some reasons for being sanguine, hopeful and optimistlo. His > speeches are not so forcible and de monstrative as four weeks ago. He wants peace, and desires it, but nrgeß the miners to better their organiza tion declaring that the only way it can be dono, is to increase their num erical strength. "Show them by num bers that you are in earnest and the results will be easy attaiuod" said Mr. Mitchell. "Tho independence of the anthraoite mine workers is now pending," he oontinned. "It is up to you to either make or bear It. If we lose, the right to join a labor organization will be taken from you,and not in a life time wilt an opportunity, like this present itself," He oouoluded by declaring that lie nor the minors wanted strike, but they do want an eight lionr day, the recognition of the union and the permanent retention of the oonoilia tion board, the latter to be on a more improved plan. Shortly after his little talk it was given out by the district officers of the uniou that the miners' union in creased sixty thousand members dur ing tho past three months,aud expect ed that half that number would apply ' during tho next two weeks. If these figures are true, it means that Mitch ell's visit has really surpassed ex pectations,and it might mean that his first prediction yf a solid anthraoite nnion of miners, with a membership of 160,000 members will be realized. Tha operators, as is evidenced by their acts,look upon the agitation with indifference, and wheu questioned openly pay, that Presideut Mitchell is not siuoero in his efforts to get an eight-hoar day. Tho miners might demaud it, bat will ucvor insist npou it. As to recognition,the operators will uot concede it, for tho opportunity to break the uuion, would be lost forever. Tho mine owners desire to be froe from collecting tho uuiou dues, and will pay 110 more attention to the mine workers' organization than is necessary. There is no mistake abont the faot, however, that the ooal com panies intend to be prepared for every emergency,as all, without a single ex ception, are storing coal in larger quantities than evor hoforo. The large manufacturing establishments are do ing likewise. Odd Fellows at Philadelphia. Robert IS. Wright, of Allentowu, grand sire has completed his roport to the sovereign grand lodge of the In dependent Order of Odd Fellowß, which begins its eighty-first annual session in Philadelphia next Monday. Mr. Wright says: "It is natural that the Odd Fellows of this state Bhould boast of the faot that Pennsylvania still loads largely in her own Odd Followship.evon while she takes pride in the rapid growth of her sister jurisdictions. "The record ol the last year has been no exception to the history of progress. The increase in meuiborshlp of our subordinate lodges was 05,721; in the encampment branch, 9,990; in the Rebckah branch, 2(l,9l)l—making a total increase of 102,115. The Patri archs Militant show a decrease in membership, but that doorcase Is only nominal, aud, doubtless, results iu a clearing out of names that really did uot represout active members of that brauoli. "Tho increase in receipts for tlm yoar was 1751,077.5(1; the increase in resources, *2,974,951.50, aud the in crease iu relief, 1307,189.95." A Snake Story. Bark loaders at the head of Little Pine Creek, abovo Williamsport,while working on a big pile of homlock bark one dav last week, killed nearly 400 copperhead snakes, 5 woodchooks, 3 minks and 2 weasels which had taken up their residence there. It will re quire more than a month to load the entire pile, audit ia quite likely that more "game" will bo discovered. Homlock bark has a peouliar attrac tion for copperhead snakes. Celebrated Birthday. Mrs. Daniel DeLong celebrated her 74th birthday Sunday at Blue Springs Farm. A dinner for the family aud a few friends was givou in honor of the occasion.

Chief Burgess Creasy and Street Commissioner Kostenbauder, of Cata wissa, had a little difforeuoe Saturday over some matter pertaining to a pub lic sewer. The Street Commissioner, it is alleged,chokod the Chief Burgess and now lie is bound over to Court to answer a oliarge of assault and bat tery. A REMARKABLE CRIMINAL Edward Hayes, several accounts of whoso actions have appeared lately in tiie News, and who made such a dar ing attempt to eseapa trom the North umberland county prison is a most re markable oriuiiual. Above the avei age intelligence lie is as sharp as a t steel trap, witty and as slick an in dividual as can be. On Saturday morning Hayes was tak en before Justice of the Peaoo Car penter and charged by Spooial Officer J. M. Rhoades witli forcing an entr ance and stealing goods from the Penn sylvania railroad station at Horndon. When Hayes wai brougiit from the jail securely hand culfed to Ofllaer Brittain, upou entering the Justice office he appeared to be in the best of humor and spoke to all proseut in a very pleasant uianuer. When the oliarge was read to hiui of stealing six shirts, six bottles of whiskey, a trunk and a number of lead pencils, lie re plied "make it right and I will plead guilty." He said that he took only four bottles of whiskey and did not take any lead pencils. After he had pleadod guilty lie talked freely of his attempted escape. He said that if lie had had better tools he would have made his oscapo from his oell in one hoar's time. He said lie would advise no one to try it as It was too hard, a job. The mofct difficult part of the woik was the bending of the siieot iron ceiling whioh occupied moßt of his time. He knew when he had been dis covered trying to net away, and was quietly watching the officers who were looking for him. When he sow the light turned on in Warden Hancock's office lie gave up ail hope of making his escape. While Hayes was telling abont his attempted escape Officer Simmers of the Reading Company who arrested him entored the oiTice and Hayes look ing np at him with a smile said, "I had a good one on you but it did not work, so I had to fix tilings so that you would not have tiie laugh ou me. When I found that I could get through ray cell and through tiie roof 1 wrote oil the wall of my cell "yon may be able to catch me on a pastenger train going a mile minute but you can't keep mo." When I found that 1 was discovered I robbed the writing oil the wall. Wlieu Jusiice Oarponter told Hayes that lie would have to send him to jail for Court he surprised everybody when he said : "Now look here,l have made a study of the law concerning bur glary,larceny and felonious entry" and his explanation that followed was a correct interpretation of that part of the law. When questioned he said that he be lieved that his father and inothor wore still living ut Montoursville but he had uot seen then for some time as he had been away to college taking a special courso at the Eastern Peniten tiary. When told that his father was one of the Jury Commissioners of Ly coming coonty he replied "I wish he was the Judge that X will be brought up before; maybe Pop would be easy with me." When leaving tho offlce for the jail Justice Carpenter said "Good by Ed, come again," with a laugh Hayes told the Justice togo to the place where summer heat is a cool breeze, but then turning he waved his baud aud said "I was only fooling. Squiro, I'll seo yon again." Hayes does not drink,smoke or chew aud the list of plaoes ho has robbod wonld fill a largo book. NOTICVB. ro A 1.1.

A SEPARATE POLE LINE The Western Union uruws that are building a soparate )iui<t line from Danvill] to Wiliiarasport hive now gotten on as far an Norinun Beyir's, Valley township, proceeding us nearly as possible in a straight line to Ex change. Just at present one of the orews is at work in this city on iliat part of the line, which oarries the wire oat from the D. L. & W. Railroud to the Maasdale road. The extension begins at the L). L. & W. crossing and ex tends down along the track as far as Mahoning creek when it takes a north erly coarse to the Boroagh line. The poles, which are already planted, are set close to Mahoning oreek on the eastern side. The wires are not yet strong. Tiie Western Union telegraph wire between tills city and Williamsport ap to the present has been oarried on the poles of the United Telephone and Telegraph Company. It is brought in to this oity ou its own poles planted along the D. L. & W. railroad where it liaß tiie right of way. From the D. L. & W. to the telegraph office under agreement with the Standard Eleotrio Light Company tiie poles of the latter corporation are used. The poles used for tiie new line are all shipped s. hundred miles or more from New Jersey to this oity, wheuoe tiiey are hauled by teams oat Into the country and distributed where needed, A little later the poles will be deliv ered at Wasliingtonville as more oon veniont. The work is under tiie direc tion of J. A. Burt, the Company' Right-of-Way man,and very good pro gress is being made considering all the oirenmstances. During the earlier Btages of the work tiie men all lodged in this city. At present one of the orews remains in tiie conntry boarding at the farm liousos. The farmSrs also do the haul ing for the company, delivering the polos wliore needed, &o. Tiiere is a rumor abroad totlieeSeot that tiie Western Union people pro pose to bnild a separate line in this city which will follow the alleys, the object being to remove their wires from the poles of the Standard Eleotric Light Company. Mr. Bart, however, states that ho has received no orders looking to the construction of any such a line in Danville and has no knowledge that any snob plaus aro on foot by the company. Lackawanna's New Ferry. The Lackawanna Railroad will open its new ferry terminal at West 23rd Street, New York on Wednesday, Sep tember 20tli. The structure will be the most imposing of the Railroad Kerry Buildings now grouped on the North River at which is rapidly becoming tho great crosstown aitory of the roads terminating on the Jersey side. It was the original Intention of the Lackawanna to have the structure ready for patronage early in August, but the destructive fire which recently swept its Hoboken piers made it im practicable to inaugurate the service until the slips for tile present Barclay and Christopher Street lines had first been restored. So rapid has been the Company's reoovery from the effeots of the fire, however, that the 23rd Street servico is being started much earlier than was anticipated aud the new line will be opened on September 20th with a full fleet of modern double docked ferry boats aud complete facil ities for passengers aud teauip. On week days the boats will rnu ev ery 15 minutes between fi a. m and 10 p. m and every half hour betweon 10 p. m and (la. in., while on Sundays the 15 minute servico will not begin until Ba. m. The structure is one of the finest ou the North River. It is built of steel witii an imposing front of ornamental copper aud is absolute ly fire proof throughout. The leugth of the building is 325 feet, providing three firry slips with waiting rooms on the firßt and second floors. There will be a central clock tower IDS feet high visible from many portions of the river. With the opening of this terminal the Lackawanna will also begin the operation of electrio cab and a oarrl age Hervioe at West 23rd Street for the , benefit of its patronß. Cabs will be available at all times of the day or night for service in Greater New York. The new service will material ly add to the convenience offered by tho Lackawanna for reaching the Metropolitan hotel aud shopping dis tricts, all of wliioh are easily reached from the 23rd Street crosstown lines. The new line will be in addition to tliose now being operated between Hobokeu, Barclay and Christopher Streets, New York. The present ser vice between 23rd Street, New York and 1-itli Street, Hoboken will also be oontinued as heretofore. I. 0. 0. r. AT PHILADELPHIA.
