VINCENT, Chairman. A full attendance is requested. Nearly all the jokes about the oil situation have been cracked, but the consumer who now pays twice as much for oil as he formerly did has not yet seen anything to laugh at. Leather has Increased iu price and labor employed by the several leather industries have been reduced, hence the leather makers will increase their profits at both ends. The poor man with a family of a half dozen child ren will observe the change about next whiter. You will remember what the advocates of the Democrat ic party said during tlio '92 cam paign, that the consumer would be benefited by free trade. They fooled you, didn't they ? The question is, will they fool again ? As we write this, Lee's circus is arriving in town and among this troupe is a man. who sells soap. He goes through the motion of wrapping a ten dollar bill around a certain number of these cakes which lie offers for sale at three dollars for three of said bars. The purchaser on removing the red paper wrapped over the bar of soap finds the object of his purchase among the missing. Just so with the free trade policy, remove the cover and it is blank ex cept for the monopoly. The Demo cratic free trade law has crushed the wages of the poor man down t> a level with foreign labor and our people are commencing to realize it, too. Vote the Republican ticket and help start our industries on the old wage scale. tihoes Will Cost Mure. Nkw YoitK, April 29. —Retail shoe dealers have been notified by manufacturer- that prices for fall goods wi.l be about 25 per cent, higher than for the last two years. This means that a $3 shoe will cost $3.75 and a $4 shoe $5. The Leather Trusts, which con trols the market in hides, is respon sible for this advance. The trust has decided to raise prices for sole leather. The reason given is the advance in hides. It is true that some kinks of hides have enhanced in value about 100 per cent, during the last nine months, but for every ceut additional paid for hides, an extra two cents a pound is charged for the leather. Russet leather shoes will cost more next summer, but this season's supply was bought last fall aud the retailers have small excuses for raising their prices. The cheaper shoes will be most effected. The Treaxurj Deficit. WASHINGTON, April, 30.—The Treasury receipts during the month ended to-day have not met the ex pectations of the officials, and tho indications now arc that the deficit at the end of the fiscal year will be little, if any, less than $45,000,000. To-day's receipts amounted to only $318,201, of which $106,702 were from customs, $114,341 from internal revenue and $87,158 from miscellaneous sources. The receipts for the month of April amounts to $24,247,836 and the expenditures to $32,952,690, leaving a deficit for the month of $8,704,854 (cents omitted) and for the fiscal year to date $45,- 247,006. The receipts from internal revenue show a falling off for April, as com pared with the same month in 1894 of more than $700,000 and a falling off for the ten months of the fiscal year of about $2,000,000. During the remaining two months of the fiscal year there will be no extraor dinary expenditures. The pension payments will amount to about $22,000,000 ami $1,250,000 will be paid on interest account. The net result of the year is not ex pected to difler very materially fiom to-day's figures, and yet in making this estimate a considerable revenue from the income tax is anticipated. Communicated. The Second Quarterly Convention of the Sulliv.in county W. C. T. U. convened in the Baptist church at Eaglesrnerc, Friday, Apiil 12, 1895. Lopez, Muncy Valley, Forksville and L.i]>orte unions were represented by those in attendance. An oppor tunity for a social time was afforded by serving luncheon at noon and evening in the Sunday school room All who partook of these bounteous refreshments did omple justice to the great variety of edibles provided by the Eagles Mere ladies. The church pulpit was adorned with plants rich and rare in foliage and blossom. The afternoon meeting was called to order by the President, Miss 11. E. Grimm. Devotional exercises were conducted by Itev. W. A. Lepley of Muncy Valley; Mrs. Lep ley presided at the organ aud the audience joined in the singing of familiar selections from "Gospel Hymns." The Recording Sec. being absent Mrs. B. VV. Jennings of Lo pez was appointed Sec. pro tem. From the address of welcome given by Mrs. Caroline Little all were made to feel at home and appreci ated the fitting words and genuine ness with which the convention was formally received. Greetings of the church wero also extended by the Pastor, Rev. L. C. Davis. Mr. Davis' remarks were exceedingly appropriate for the occasion and his welcome hearty and acordial. Mrs. Strong of Muncy Valley responded. Her paper was a pleasing produc tion and gave encouragement to the workers, recalling as she did the crusade days and the presentation of the great polggot petition at Washington recently. Mrs. C, 11. Jennings of Lopez gave a most in teresting and entertaining report of the State Convention held in Phila delphia last October. The question box was a source of great interest. One of tlie most important questions discussed having reference to prohi bition and local option. Many helpful suggestions concerning the work of the union were brought be fore the Convention. The evening's devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. C. L. Davis. Miss Meyers of Picture Rocks, kindly favored the Convention with two recitations. Her rendering of " I'he College Oil Cans" delighted the audience and displayed elecutionarv ability. At request, Mrs. L'. B. L. Both rock of Forksville described a temperance entertainment she had recently at tended in Lycoming county in which the children took a prominent part. A select reading I'ioin Union Signal, entitled, ' A Volunteer Crop," was given by Miss Maud Hay man of Dushore. Friend Avery of Eagles- Mere entertained the audience with a temperance recitation rendered in his usual forcible and pleasing man ner. Rev. W. A. Lepley held the attention of the Convention for some time with an enjoyable talk on the "Period of Advauce." The recita tion by Mrs. Frank Rice of Lopez, "Save the Roys," was a touching appeal to all who were present and was most appropriately given. An opportunity was offered for all who desired to become members of the union. Several new names were added. The oollection was taken by Miss Bernice Burkholder and Miss Ada Chase of Eagles Mere. A short tribute to the memory of Mrs. Ella Dennett of the Eagles Mere union, whose death occurred March 14, '95, was presented in the form of a res olution. Other resolutions were also offered aud adopted. It was decided to hold the next convention at Lopez in June; date to be llxed at some future time. A Lincoln in uu Almshouse. READING, April 28.— John Lincoln aged 86 years, a cousin of Abraham Lincoln, is an inmate of the alms house here. He is tall, muscular and clean shaved, and his features much resemble those of the martyr-, ed President. Recently his mind has given way. He is the son of a wealthy farmer and hotel keeper who died in 1859. John inhearited $30,000, and in his time was regarded as a great sport. His money went rapidly and he was finally compelled, through family estrangement, togo to the county almshouse. His wife, Mrs. Annie Lincoln, died at her home at Exeter this county, a few days ago. During the war John Lincoln made a trip to Washington and called on the President, and the cousins had quite a chat, during which their relationship was fully established. Everyone will remember the Dem ocratic howl about the "billion dollar Congress." as they termed the last Republican Congress, and how persistent the Democratic pa pers were in forcing the ma'ter up on the public. Now bow about the Democratic Congress which adjourn- Ed last March ? The official state ment shows that the appropriations made at the last session of Congress were $32*2,022 greater than those of the Fifty-first, or so culled billion dollar Congress. But thiß is not the whole truth. This same Con gress reduced the appropriations for pensions $20,000,000. this great amount being virtually taken from the pockets of the old soldiers and their widow and orphans. But this is not all. This same congress auth orized contracts to be made involv ing future appropriations amount ing to $21,686,764. No appropria tion was made to meet tlie annual interest on bonds issued by the pre sent Democratic administration, which amounts to $7,472,000. This is the harvest reaped from a Dem ocratic Cohgress. Struck a ltich Coal Vein. Sckanton, April 28.—The finding of a rich vein of coal in the No. 5 mountains east of No. 5 meadows, is announced to-night. The land is owned by William Connell. one of the largest individual anthracite operators in the state. For years the presence of coal in that region has been a matter of conjecture Fine black dirt resembling nil out cropping was found several days ago which led to the organization of a prospecting party of engineers. They found positive evidence of the presence of coal. A bore hole will be suck very soon. Additional importance is attached to the discovery from thn fact that the coal bed adjacent to and north west of the No. 5 region is rapidly being "worked out." The following surprising story is taken from the Shenandoah Sunday Neics: "John Wood, who lives in Beaver Valley, near Shuman's Station, owns a peculiar milch cow. She is just an ordinary black, but i« so much attached to Mr. Wood's children that she docs not like lo be separat ed from I hem. If the children are at home, the cow will stay in a pasture with a fence three feet high; hut if the children are taken away she will throw down even high fen ces iu order to follow them. At different times when the cow would be in the pasture, Mr. Wood ha« slipped the children sway from home but when she came up and mused them she would get out aud track them, as a do;i would do, until she found them, when the would follow wherever they went. The cow knows her business, and has an idea that if the children are allowed out of her sight they will not fare well on the pure milk question." Trial Ll»|, Mpt-cial Court.
