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.

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."
