CONCERNING TEE .
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

of the flpeer New Jersey vineyards are

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

many friends all served to tnaktj the
day most enjoyable.

Officials at Odds.

Commissioner Kostenbauder, of Cata

over some matter pertaining to a pub

it is alleged,chokod the Chief Burgess
and now lie is bound over to Court to

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.

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.
