One hundred years ago Monday, Sept. 18—1793, Gen. Washington laid the corner stone of the Capitol of the United States. The day marks a century of progress for the young American Republic. Wash ington the scene of this historic event was but a small country ham let. The United States then was comprised of fifteen States, two having been prior to this date added to the thirteen original States, by admission into the Union, viz Vermont, March 4, 1791, and Vir ginia, June 1, 1792. The city of 'Washington has grown to be one of the most superb capital cities iu the world with a population numbering more than a quarter of a million people. The capitol is a good mas sive structure worthy a nation of free people whose representatives are sheltered within its walls. From lour millions the population of the United States has swollen to sixty-five millions of people, and the number of States from fifteen to forty-four. The new Republic had no army, no navy. Its treasury was bankrupt. It had neither com» merce nor manufacturers. Its ships now float upon the high seas bearing the national flag and carry ing the commerce of every nation on the face of the globe, its flag being everywhere respected as the emblem of American authority. This is a mere glance at the pro press of a century for America, but it is sufficient to remind the youth uf our land that they are now en joying the blood bought blessings und benefits of the institutions set ou the foot by the fathers of the Republic. It should inspire in them n deeper and more sublime love of country, and a patriotic and jealous guard over the rights and liberties of the American people, whenever threatened by foes within or foes without. ■ mmrn • ■ STKELTON, FA., Sept, IG, 1893. The steel works this morning, presented a dismal appearance. The universal mill and three of the nine open hearth furnaces are all the departments running. It is al most a complete Democratic victory. There are 500 less names on the pay rolls now than a month ago—3Bsß. A leading mercantile establishment here this morning, made large re ductions in prices. Iu making the announcement they say "in con sideration of the great number of )*»rson» unemployed at the present lime aud in order to benefit those of our customers who are out of work or earning only small wages, we will make a general reduction in the price on all goods, till such times as these U a general resumption." I'rices may lie reduced, hut if we have no cash lu>w are we to buy the goods ?

The 39th annual exhibition of this association will be held on their grounds in Bloosburg from October 10 to 15 inclusive. Many improve ments have been made this year to the buildings, which are now supplied with as capacious and comfortable stalls for horses and cattle as they are accustomed to occupy at home. A building has been fitted up in a convenient location for the storage of baggage, the association check ing and taking charge of the same for a small fee. Prof. Tolbert's com bination of running, hurdle and Roman chariot races will be the at traction. The purses aggregate $2,500 which arc offered for eleven races, including 2:19 and free for all classes. The track has been kept in first-class condition during the sea son. Many of the other premiums have also been increased, and the classes rearranged to fully meet the demands ol exhibitors. The cyclo rama ot the Battle of Gettysburg will be on exhibition. An additional outlet gate has been built on Fifth street for the accommodation of vehicles. The Secretary has already received many entries. Strange But True. Three years ago William Brown of Lost Creek, spent Sunday on the mountain between Mahanoy Plane and Shenandoah and in the evening walked down a path to the Reading track in time to have a leg cut off by Conductor Doherty's train. Yesterday Brown spent the day on the same mountain, walked down the path and when at the spot of his previous misfortune tripped and fell just as Doherty's train shot by, the wheels cutting his remaining leg off about the same place where the first leg was mangled.— Shamokin Ilcrahl. All manner of men are presenting themselves before the Ways and Means Committee to argue the tariff question from their individual stand point. The most singular feature, however, is the foreigners who come all the way from Austria and the Bermudas to ask our country to let their manufacturers and pro ducts into this country for their in dividual benefit. It shows a good deal of cheek for these people to ask our Government to benefit them at the expense of its own citizens. EST ELL A ITEMS. How soon will a P. O.
