REV. GEORGE L. RANKIN preached
in tbe English Lutheran Church of
this place last Sunday. For the past
two year# he has been pursuing his
Theological studies in Philadelphia
and ia back here on a brief visit. His
former associates here were pleased to
both see and bear him.
JAMES B. CLARK, ESQ., formerly of
this county, and Prothonotary of the
same from 1866 to' 69, has received the
Republican nomination for Superin
tendent of Public Instruction, in Rooks
county, Kansas, of which State he is
now a citizen. We persume Rooks
county is a Republican county and
that he has therefore been elected.
The many friends of Mr. Clark in this,
bis old home, are pleased to learn of
bis success in his new one.
DEATH OP JUDGE MARSHALL.
Hon. Samuel Marshall, of Adams
township, this county, and late Asso
ciate Judge of the county, died at Dix
mont Hospital, Allegheny county, on
Monday last, November Ist. We have
not learned bis exact age but believe be
was about eighty. Since his illness
"he was a patient roost of the time in
the State Asylum at Harrisburg. Re
cently he was removed to Dixmont.
Pernaps no man in the county was
more widely known than Judge Mar
shall, and for many years he was recog
nized as a man of more than ordinary
energy and influence in all the affairs
of l«fc. Previous to becoming an Asso
ciate Judge he filled the office of Jus
tice of the Peace in his township and
transacted much business for and
among his neighbors. He was an As
sociate Judge for a period of about
twenty years altogether, and always
had a host of warm friends in the coun
ty who will be sorry to learn of his
demise. He was a man of generous
impulses.
THE TROUBLE OP IRELAND.
Amid all the political excitement
and grave questions agitating our own
country for some time past, it has been
hard to shut our eyes to the condition
of the people of Ireland. They are
now engaged in a struggle to reform
the land system, or what we would
term the farming interest. Now, and
for all past time we may say, a few
own and have owned the lands of Ire
land. These are the "landlords." And
from them the great mass must rent
and labor in order to live. The terms
of the leases are of course exacting
and hard, and all necessary power is
retained by the landlord to enable him
to compel a strict compliance on the
part of the poor tenant. Of late years
the tenants have combined and formed
associations for the purpose of secur
ing Bome reform in the land system.
But the British Government, we see
it stated, is arresting and prosecuting
the leaders of these people This to
tie people of the United States looks
like tyranny and wrong. But relief
will come to the oppressed of Ireland
Sooner or later, just as it has come to
all other oppressed and down trodden
people.
CAMPAIGN OP 1880 CLOSKD.
Yesterday closed the Presidential
election of 1880, so far as the people
had to act. We sincerely hope that
their action yesterday was so decisive
and clear that what is to follow, in de
claring their will, through the electors
chosen and the final action in Con
• gress, will also be free of all trouble or
serious dispute Taking all together
it was an interesting contest and one
that stirred the people up to a degree
greater than ever witnessed before.
The best talent and effort was put forth
by all parties and the result should be
recieved as the deliberately expressed
will of the majority, under the forms
of existing laws. If the votors of each
State have acted according to the
laws, there can not arise, in any proba
bility, the questions that arose four
years ago from double returns made
from some of the States. Should there
be any trouble it will likely be in Con
gress, and this danger to the peace of
the Nation will threaten us until the
present National Constitution is chang
ed, and the people have the right to
vote direct for their President, the
same as for their Governor and other
officers. The public mind is fast com
ing to this view of the matter.
MIXED ELECTORAL TICKETS.
On Monday last the Republicans of
this place were considerably excited
by the arrival, on the cars, of a large
package of what proved to be a mixed
electoral ticket. It was addressed to
the Chairman of the Democratic Coun
ty Committee and contained the names
of five of the Democratic State electors,
printed in instead of the Republican
ones. The first and balance of the
names were the regular Republican
electors, and the supposition was that
some voters, into whose hands they
might fall, might vote this ticket as
the full Republican one, whereas in
fact they would be,voting for five
Democrat* This, if extensive, might
elect said five and thus give that num
ber to the Democratic candidates. If
it was so intended to decievc, it was a
deplorable and desperate trick, and one
wv hope Dover to bear of being rC-
peated. And it perhaps furnishes a
strong argument for doing away with
with our present electoral machinery
in the choosing of our President. Not
one voter in a thousand perhaps could
tell tlie names of the electors he desires
to vote. He pays no attention to
names, and hence may easily be de
cieved. Such a system would seem
to have bad its day of usefulness and
should be chauged to a direct vote on
the names of the candidates them
selves.

On Congress it may be some less. On
Senate the Democrats are claiming a
majority for Ziegler in the county, and
also that Brittain is elected Dist. At

undoubtedly elected to the Assembly.
Ex-Sheriff McCandless runs ahead of

no doubt elected, as is Mr. Slator for

A Terrible Storm In England and
Ireland.
LONDON, Oct. 28.-An unprecedented
storm and hurricane has taken place in
England and Ireland, which has des
troyed a number of bridges and flooded
several towns, compelling a stoppage
of railway traffic at various points.
The telegraph service has also been se
riously interfered with. Four vessels
were wrecked at Shields and sixteen
persons were drowned ; one vessel at
Dublin and five lives were lost; four
were wrecked at Sunderland, one man
drowned; three at Hartlepool, three
men drowned, and seven vessels were
lost at Scarborough.
DAMAUE BY THE OALE.
A terrible southwest gale was re
ported from Plymouth last night. Day
break showed five vessels stranded,
but their crews were all saved. Re
ports this afternoon show damage by
the gale all around the coast. A
scboouer eutoring the harbor of South
Shields foundered and all he.n(Js were
lost excepting one person, the mate.
Two steam trawlers were capsized in
entering the same harbor, by which
twelve persons were drowned.

Riot at Denver—Several Chinamen
Hung—The Authorities Fi
nally Control.
DENVER, October 31.—Denver has
been in the hands of a mob for eight
hours, and there are now fully fifteen
hundred rioters in the streets. Trouble
has been brewing for days. It was
discovered a week ago that there were
fully eight thousand illegal names reg
istered in this city, and immediately
afterwards the streets were tilled with
strangers of the worst character ever
seen. Since the publication of the
forged Garfield letter, violent partisans
have striven to make an issue of the
Chiuese question, and the Democratic
press has been filled with articles as
serting that as soou as Garfield was
elected the State would l>e flooded with
Chinese and all white labor driven out.
On Saturday night the Democrats had
a p ocession, carrying transparencies
with inscriptions and cartoons tending
to excite animosity against the Chi
nese. A considerable portion became
intoxicated and remained out all night.
This nuon they made an assault on the
Chinese houses, tearing down the
houses and beating and driving out
the Chinese. One was dragged from
Hop Lee's place with a rope about his
neck, and his skull crushed in with
boots and bricks. The police were
called out, but were unable to control
the mob. The fire department was
ordered to throw water on the rioters,
but the mo- attacked tb«'iu and badly
wounded two firemen. Many China
men were fearfully beaten. One was
rescued by the police, and taken to the
jail which was immediately surround
ed by a mob of about a thousand, who
hurrahed for Hancock and yelled'lynch
the leper.' The special police manag
ed to keep back the crowd. The other
mob remained intact in the lower part
of the city. About dark they were en
tirely beyond control and marched from
street to street, gutting the China
houses wherever they saw them and
assaulting citizens. On Lawrance
street, from au isolated tenement, a
Chinaman was dragged, his ears cut
off and otherwise terribly mutilated.
He was finally rescued in a dying con
dition, placed in a carriage and driven
towards the city jail. At Sixteenth
street an unsuccessful effort was made
to drag him from the wagon. Several
are reported killed, but the condition of
the streets is such that it is impossible
at this hour to get a definite report.
Many colored men were knocked dowu
and beaten.
At this hour the rioters are still on
the streets in full force. Special police
have been sworn in 10 the number of
three hundred
There is a great deal of incendiarism
to-night and the fire department called
to be ready at the slightest warning.
Reports of pistols are heard all over
town and the militia will be called out
Threats have been freely made that the
Tribune office would be sacked, but
though the mob have been howling
across the street from it, no attack ha
been made yet. Citizens, irrespective
of party, are irrespective of party, are
intensely indignant.
The transparencies carried by the
Democratic procession last Saturday
night were devoted altogether to the
Chinese, and this, with the constant
repetition of the Garfield forgery, are
the causes of the mob. • There is a dan
gerous night ahead. The Chinese
population here cannot exceed one hun
dred and fifty all told, and from the
beginning of this disgraceful riot not a
single incident is reported of any of
them having resisted the onslaught.
At this time 11:30 P. M., everything
is quiet the mob have dispersed, but a
large police force is patrolling the
streets and the militia are ready for ac
tion at a moment's notice. The report
of a Chairman having his cars cut oir
is a mistake, but several had their ques
cut off. All the saloons are closed with
orders to remain so until after the elec
tion. The rioters gutted every China
house in town, with two or three ex
ceptions. One Chinaman was hung
over his front door and several badly
beaten and wounded with stones arid
other missiles. In nearly every in
stance policemen rescued the chinamen
through the back doors while the mob
were forcing the front door. Four or
five parties were slightly wounded, one
seriously, being shot iu the right side.
DENVER, November I.—Tbe aetive
response of citizens to the call of the
authorities effectually checked the mob,
and by midnight a very perceptible
improvement was developed, which has
steadily continued Early this morn
ing a squad of miscreants raised a dis
turbance near the postoffice, but within
10 minutes it is estimated that 1,000
citizens, nearly all armed, were on the
ground. All rioters at that point were
arrested and sent to jail. Several hun
dred warrants were sworn out by offi
cers. Between 200 and 300 arrests
have been made. The city is now
considered absolutely secure against a
revival of mob rule. Indignation
among all classes is intense and earn
est. Should lawlessness show itself in
any form or at any point it will un
doubtedly be checked by the strongest
and most convincing means employed
in such emergencies
Eleventh Hour Treacnary
PHILADELPHIA, October, 27 —Your
correspondent in this city has just been
informed, upon the most reliable au
thority, that thousands of tickets are
being printed and will be sent out for
use on Tuesday next under tbe oaten»
sible auspices of the Republican State
Central Committee, with the name of
Steele substituted for that of Dr. Arn
holt, the regular Republican nominee
for Senator from the Southside dis
trict in'Alltgheny county. Inquiry at
a late hour fails to develop what per
son conuected with the State Commit
tee is responsible for this ; but some
body in power has had the ticket
printed. and the Republican voters in
your country should be on the alert, as
there are evidently parties within the
organization who Ijavo a great and
pressing interest in the defeat of Arn
holt. The evidence can lie furnished
of the order to get up the .ickets with
Steele substituted for Arnholt, but 1
only hastily telegraph you for the pres
ent to advise your yeople of what is
going on. — Pittsburyh Dixp'tuh.

The Irish Land League—The Feeling
Agaicst Landlords as Bitter
as Ever.
DUBLIN, NOV. 1.
Oblivious to the threatened prose
cutions the Land League during the
past two days has shown even un
wonted vigor, while the prosecutions
are hardly spoken of in tbe press.
Nine meetings were held on Sunday
and 11 to-day. At most of the gath
erings there was a large attendauce
and much enthusiasm. The language
and deuieaaor of the speakers were as
determined and violent as ever. The
custom which now prevails at every
meeting of swearing the listeners with
raised hands to pay no rent above the
government poor law valuation, and
take no farm from which a tenant had
been evicted, was every were followed.
Among the speakers there were wilder
spirits, too, who did no: pause at gen
eralities. One orator at Ballina ad
vised his hearers to obtain guns aad
learn how to use them; another at
Bulla, who was, however, repudiated
by the League, thought guns were
very good in their way, but he pre
ferred dynamite and gun cotton.
A meeting of the corporation of Wat
terford to-day resolved, a'ter a stormy
scene, during which Mr. Parnell was
called a ruffian and a humbug, to pre
sent the agitator with the freedom of
the city. -The Land Leaguers also
scored, practically, a victory at Bran
dry. The day being a Catholic holi
day, the town was crowded. The po
lice were largely reinforced in view of
possible disturbances.
Messrs, Healy and Walsh were
charged before the Court of Sessions
with attempting to intimidate Mr.
Manning, the farmer. The prosecu
tion declared that when the defendants
visited Mr. Manning they told him that
his crops would be left to rot if the
farm was not surrendered. The coun
sel for the prosecution was instructed
by the Attorney General to ask that
the defendants be committed for trial.
The counsel for the defense alleged
that the agent for the land in ques
tion, and not Mr. Manning, originated
the prosecution. He urged that the
complaint did not show intimidation.
Mr. Manning's son did not swear to
any action of the kind. Both he and
his father had been forced into swear
ing informations by the magistrates
and police. Messrs. Healy and Walsh
were both committed for trial, but it
has been already shown that the evi
dence could hardly convince a jury.
Limerick county made to-day a
great effort to redeem her boast that
her reception of Mr. Parnell would
rival the greeting given him by Cork.
Notwithstanding the threatening
weather and intermittent rains which
turned the roads and streets into a vast
puddle, contingents poured in from all
of the surrounding country, bearing
llags covered with patriotic devices
and headed by bands playing the na
tional anthem, quicksteps and marches.
Fully 40,000 persons took part in the
proceedings. The contingents arrived
in semi military order, some mounted,
some afoot, under the command of
their local leaders. As the stalwart
peasantry filed past, it was matter of
common note that they kept good step
and obeyed with soldierlike prompt
ness the orders of their chiefs. In the
town itself there was not the same ex
hibition of enthusiasm. Only a few
houses were decorated with flags.
There was a total absence of arches
or other signal of welcome. The peo
ple, however, turned out in masse.
Every window along the route was
filled with ladies, mostly young and
handsome, who testified their sympa
thy by waving handkerchiefs.
Messrs. Parnell and Dillon left the
train at Kilmallock, where they were
joined by Mr. O'Sullivan, one of the
county members. They were driven
by road 15 miles to the city. On the
way Mr. Parnell and his friends were
joined by numerous contingents, who
acted as escort, and some miles from
Limerick they were met by a recep
tion committee, who presented Mr.
Parnell with an illuminated address.
Mr. Parnell replied briefly. The pro
cession, which had grown to consider
able dimensions, continued its progress
to the city limits, where the mayor of
the city and the common councillors,
dressed in their robes of state, awaited
him with an address of welcome. A
meeting was held in a field outside of
the town, which forms a kind of nat
ural amphitheatre. Messrs Parnell,
Dillon, Synan, O'Kellyaud O'Sullivan
spoken. The tenor of remarks was
they must settle the land question
themselves and show the British Par
liament they had p >wer to settle it.
The most notable feature of the day
politically was the effort made by Mr.
Synan, one of the county members,
who is opposed to Mr. Par
nell, to unfurl the flag of fixity of ten
ure. lie challenged Mr. Parnell to
define his plan for the establishment of
a pleasant proprietry. Mr. Parnell
replied in a bitter and stirring speech,
carrying the immense audience with
him. ilo denounced fixity of tenure
as a delusion. It was a bold stroke on
Mr. Synan's part, but it will probably
cost him his seat in Parliament next
election.
Grant JVlake3 Prodietiong.
BUFFALO, October 28. —Gen. Grant
and Senator Conkling addressed a
mass meeting here this afternoon. The
General said;
I am highly gratified to see the
great number of people that have
turned out here to-day. I am con
vinced that the people of the great
State of New York are fully alive to
the pending issues in this campaingn.
The Democratic party, organized as it
now is, is under the control of the
Ltcbel hi •igadiers. We want at least a
national party, with a policy that will
prevail in all sections. We are not
willing, and you are not willing, and
among the people of the Empire State
there are njen who will not submit to
Southern rule. We want to be ruled
by Northern people while we are alive.
I predict for this State the greatest
victory it has ever had and that it will
be a victory from the I'aeilic to the At
lantic, throughout the entire Northern
States, and that we will have a differ
ent organization to contend with in
the next election from vvintt we |<i*ve
now. We will have an organization
then to contend with which we will
be divided into two parties, and not
by two sections of the country. We
will then have a f«*ee ballot and an
honest baiiot, which the j.eoplp of this
country are determined to have, an«l If
the South persists in a solid South
they will be met by a solid North.
A reception was tendered to Gen.
Grant in tue evening and thyie was a
torch-light procession.
Mark Twain on Free Trade.
From a Speech in Hartford, Tuesiay night
a week.
I am going to vote the Republican
ticket myself from old habit, but what
i am here for is to try to pursuade you
to vote the Democratic ticket, because
if you throw the Governm* nt of this
country into the hands of the Repub
licans they will unquestionably kill
that Wood tariff project. But f you
throw this Government into the bands
of the Democrats, the Wood tariff pro
ject will become the law of the laud,
and every one of us will reap his share
of the enormous benefits resulting from
it. There will be nothing sectional
about it. Its wholesome generosities
aro as all-embracing as the broad and
general atmosphere. The North, the
South, the East, the West, will have
their portion of those benefactions.
Consider the South's share, for in
stance. With a tarilf for "protection,"
she will not be obliged to carry on a
trade with us of the North and pay
Northern prices. No ! She can buy
of England, duty free, at far cheaper
cheaper rates The price of her cotton
will remain as before, but the cost of
producing will be vastly diminished
and the profit vastly increased. Wealth
will pour in on her in such a deluge
that she will not know what to do
with the money. In time she will be
able to buy and sell the North. Will
the .South cast a solid vote for the
Wood tariff' bill ? I am glad to believe
yes; to know that the South will
stand by our Senator Eaton to a man
in this great and good cause.
The speaker then showed in a fa
cetious way, what benefits the North
would derive from free trade. The
chief benefit would be in getting rid of
factory smoke, lie showed the sav
ing in washing bills and profanity, and
in the enforced idleness which would
be produced. Capable men could be
hired for 50 cents a day. Houses
could.be built cheaper, and real estate
would be the same price on the ground
that it was in a cart. There would be
holiday season, and the streets of the
North would be adorned with a soft,
rich carpet of grass. "The odious law
which to day deprives us of the im
proving, elevating, humanizing socie
ty of the tramp will be swept from the
statue book by the tramp himself, for
we all shall be trauips then, and
can outvote anythiug that can be de
vised to hampper us, and give the op
position long odds, too." He review
ed the course of England during the
war, but said that he should now for
give them all, and let them come in
here to restore their prostrated in
dustries by voting the Democratic
ticket, "which is all English, English
of Connecticut, and English of Indi
ana, and Euglidh over the water." He
closed with what he called a fable,
showing a company of sparrows well
settled on one side of the lake with
cuckoos on the opposite side. The lat
ter wanted to get over and lay eggs
in the sparrows' nests, but protective
eagles stopped them. At last a major
ity of the sparrows thought that re
striction should be removed. Getting
rid of the eagles, the other birds came
in, but the experiment was disastrous,
and the sparrows resolved to let well
enough alone thereafter.
Sarah Eemhmdt.
NEW YORK, October 27. —Sarah
Bernhardt was given a formal welcome
to this country by the President of the
Circlo Artistique, who, with a number
of other gentlemen, went down the
bay to-dav to meet the steamer.
Many persons were upon the wharf,
anxious to see the famous artist, and
in front of the hotel where Miss Bern
hardt is lodged groups of people stand
and stare at the windows.
Baccaret and poker wre the princi
pal distractions of the company on the
way after the first couple of days,
which were devoted to other duties
which took from the passengers all de
sire for frivolities and food. 4 storm
struck the vessel when sho had com
pleted about half her voyage, and many
on hoard thought they had come to the
end of their journey. Bouillond em
ployed himself in the manufacture of
wills. lie constructed 11 in one day.
The last was said to be a codicil to the
other 10, and in it he bequeathed his
swords to Dorsay, his laces to Galiay,
his shoebuckles to Thefyr, his wigs
to Gangloff, his costumes to Depassy,
his address to Chamonin, and his love
to the ladies. When the custom house
officers began at the trunks there was
great excitement. Each lady was
equipped with a surprising abundaice
of luggage, and the officials were stag
gered at the mountains of it that were
piled upon the dock. It took a couple
of hours to go through it, and the ex
clamations and side speeches of the ac
tress as their finery was turned over
and twisted and pulled, were occa
sionally spicy.
Mile. Soduey had in one large truuk
a great number ot jewels in elegant
cases. As soon as an officer began to
estimate the value of the diamonds she
trembled like an aspen leaf, and in her
nervous dread spoke English for the
first time in her life. She said they
were all her own and for her own use.
She would li.-.e to see the woman who
would dare to more than look at them.
Mine. Mca was in similar distress.
She had a life size picture of Alexan
der Dumas, pere, and she would allow
no one to approach it but herself. Idne,
daughter of Mine. Mea, and the sou
brette of the company, watched the
searching of her luxurious robes with
dreamy indifference Mme. Juliet,
M me. Deletranz and Mme. Martel pro

The Bunch of Grapes Murder.
PITTSBOBGH, October 27.—Herbert
Gould, Joseph Beltz and John Martin,
three of the railroad track menconviot
pel of involuntary manslaughter, he :
cause of their connection with "the
hunch of grapes" murder of Robert
Bryson, at Agnew Station, were called
up for sentence to-day before Judge
Kirkpatrick. The juries had recom
mended them to the extreme mercy of
the Court. The Judge slated that he
considered them technically truilty un
der the law tather vhan actually guilty
of a crime, and that a delegation of
some of the best citizens in the neigh- j
borhood of Agnew Station had called I
upon him and test tied to the prison- ;
ers uniform good reputation for peace.
][c then imposed qpon oi> each a ;en- J
to nee to pay a tine of six euiil.i "and
costs and to undergo a term of three
months' imprisonment in the county
jail. Luster, another of the prisoners,
wiii be suijienoed probably ue*t
fu case the Court should overrule a 4
motion for a new trial which is pend
ing. The case is stronger against him
than the others, and the jury did not
recommend him to the extreem mercy
of the Court. It recommended him,
however, to the Court's mercy.
Thanksgiving Day.—Proclamation
By th.o Prc3 dent of the United

this people had so abundant and so
universal reasons for joy and gratitude

humbly to implore His continued
care and protection. Henlth, wealth
and prosperity throughout all our bor
ders, peace, honor and friendship with
all the world, firm and faithful ad
herence by the great body of our pop
ulation to the prineiples of liberty and
justice which have made our great
ness as a nation, and to the wise insti
tutions and strong frame of govern
ment and society which will perpetu
ate it, for all these let the thanks of a
happy and united people as with one
voice ascend in devout homage to the
giver of all good.
"I therefore recommend that on
Thursday, the 25th day of November
next, the people meet in their respec
tive places of worship to make the ac
knowledgement to Almighty God for
His bounties and His protection, aud
to oiler Him prayer for their continu
ance.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to he affixed.

The reports of oleaginous operation.',
for the month of October show a slight
decline in all parts of the field. Fewer
wells have been completed with a
smalkr average production, while the
number of wells drilling and rigs up
and buildiug is also less than the name
report showed on the Ist of the month,
The Dei rick's figures show that in the
northern field 334 wells were complet
ed, having a production of 8,655 bar
rels, au average of 25# barrels per
well, as against an average of over 27
barrels for September. The total num
ber of wells completed iu the whole
oil region was 378; production, 9,009;
average production per well, 23}, as
against 25 in September. The number
of dry holes is 11.
In the Northern field 455 rigs are up
and building, and 43 5 wells drilling; in
the whole field the rigs number 494 ;
wells, 492, showing five fewer than on
October 1.
In the northern field there is a
promise that operations will be less
active in the coming months. Many
of the largest operators are inclined to
check the drill, and as this feeling pre
vails among nearly all the firms it will
probably lead to some good results.
Lines have been protected by the
drilling during the summer, and this
done operators are not auxious to push
work now.
The Petroleum World gives the fol

Our Foreign Trade Still Booming.
NEW YORK, October 2!). —The for
eign ttade of the port continues to lack
well, though the exports of domestic
products for the past week are nearly
$1,000,000 ho ow tljuso of tho week
previous. The exact figures as return

715. It is gratifying to note a gradual
increase in the demand for manufac
tured articles. To Hamburg we sent
$12,220 worth of leather, $1,G77 indi»
rubber goods, $3,012 machinery, s>,t
150 domestics. To Amsterdam, $•!,-.

Petroleum AbioaJ.
The American Ma 1 predicts a vast
increase in the consumption of petro
leum during the next five years. It has
been forceing its way among the "ex
clusive races," such as tho Chinese,
the Persians, the Moors, etc." The na
tural persistence of those eminently
conservative peoples, who worship old
things and old usages, was considera
bly strengthened by their fear of kero
sene. Both the Rritisih uad American
Consuls in China aud I'ersiu now re
port that the people are surmounting
their fears and the r prejudices, and
taking to the use of petroleum. A late
report from our Consul at Tripoli, of
Barbary, says that petroleum is daily
becoming more popular in t!)Ut country,
and th? fpars* ut first entertained in re
gard to its explosiveness are gradually
disappearing. It is now used by all
city Arabs and gradually reaching out
to the country people, fha o""ie ts
true of Wherever our petrole
um goes, our exporters should see that
our lamps should go with it, Tbey
should aliio remember that, in addition
to its utility and superiority as an il
luminator, its cheapness is its princi
pal recommendation to these Eastern
millions.
