GET THERE, SENATOR.
If Senator Moniiglnui will usa his
Inllueuce Shenandoah can have a
military company. I'ottsvillo, with
less population, has two companies
and u tender. St. Clair, Tauinqua,
Glrardvltle and Mahauoy City, emaller
towns, have one eash. Surely there
is at) sufficient and as good material
here as In other towns In the county
. lor such a company and why should
' wo be left In the cold?
I Shenandoah, at' ono time, had pride
,in the llneat, best drilled and largest
company in the gallant Seventh
regiment. That company was dis
banded through the dirty work of a
few disappointed and disgruntled
men. Shenandoah was insulted, a
reliable company was disbanded, and
ono of the best-hearted and noble
olUcerain the service wa9 driven to
his death, Colonel Alexander Cald
well, as bravo and valiant a soldier as
ever wore shoulder straps, felt the loss
of that regiment so keenly that had
much to do with his -death. Hut not
ouly did Shenandoah lotto its popular
company the whole gallant Seventh
i4Reglinent was sacrificed 1
If Senator Monaghan will move In
the matter Shenandoah will get there
jet.
Andv Coca ban's division of the
wards in town will meet with about as
much public approval as does the road
he laid out between here and Bran
donvillo. Any one who; ever traveled
thut portion of It going down into
j Brandon villo will understand the
;i forue of these remarks. Sunday News.
g Why this misrepresentation? Mr.
C Cochran had no hand in laying out
I the Brandonvllle road. The viewers
,yvero J. O. Roads, a surveyor from
it hat Gibraltar of Democracy, West
fPeuu, and another whose name we
ffcannot now recall. They did their
?vork all right, but the road wasn't
1 built as they wished It. It remained
for the Supervisor, a Democrat, t.o
build the road as he saw lit. The
jpoyles should refresh their memories
on county affairs.

M.T EEMITXEBL'S.
The Alliance pautv before it gets
well started appears to be about to split.
OnooflU most daugerous, and yet to j
eonio minds most attractive, schemes
Is that to establish sub-treasuries all I
ovor the country, and as to that there
Is division In the ranks, with a strong
probability that there may bo two Al
liance parties formed, one advocating
and the other opposing sub-treasuries.
The new party has started out unwisely
w)th spocltlc schemes of legislation,
instead of being foundel on broad
principles, allowing latitude for differ
ences of opinion among Its members,
and party thus founded Is sure to be
unstable.
The Iowa Democrats have fulfilled
general expectation by renominating
Horace Boles for tho Governorship.
Bolus ought to be a good man fur
Iowa Republicans to beat this fall. Ho
was elected by stay-at-home Republi
cans, who were for the moruent dissat
isfied with the Iowa prohibitory laws,
and who thoughton general principles
that a change in tho state government
might be a good thing. This Is shown
by the fact that iu 1800, when only I
minor state officers were to be elected '
the vote of Iowa was larger by almost
40,000 than In 1889, while the Domo-
cratio plurality of 0,523 was trans
formed in 1600 Into a Republican one 1
of 3,690 for Secretary of State. This'
proves thut Iowa is still a Republican I
state.
One of tho causes of gold-shipments
this year is that the freight on $880,000,-'
000 of exports last year was in large
part paid to foreliru ship owners.
Another is tho money sent abroad j
for goods thut we can make here.
Liberal aid to American snipping will,
remove the former Influence and the
McKlnley bill will do the latter. In
four months of this year the MoKluley
bill reduced the Imports in seven
schedules of dutiable goods by $18,600,
000. Foil a mau with a bankrupt Treas
ury, Uncle Sam appears to be getting
along fairly well. Ho seems to be pay
ing his debts on demand, and there Is
a little matter of over f 44,000,000 In his
storehouse laid up against a rainy day.
But, of course, that doesn't count.
When a Democrat wants to make a
point he never stops to count.
Now Is a good time to buy a sIoIrIi.

to the police as Qeorgo Frank, Frank
Slierltok and Frcnchy No, 1, and to New
York nt largo as Jack the Mp, er, in on
trial for lili life bofore Itecorder Smyth,
charged with the butchery of the old
Womnn Carrie Brown, alias Shakespeare,
in the East Elver Hotel on tho night of
Al.rll 23. ,
When tho court opened at 10:30 tho
jury filed in and solemnly took their beats.
Chief Inspector Byrnes strodo Into court,
accompanied by Detective Sergeants
McClusky, Frlnk, Crowley and Aloacle,
and took a seat at the right of the bench.
On tho benches at the back of tho court
there were not more than a dozen spec
tators, all morbid curiosity seekers be
ing rigidly excluded by order of the He
corder. Viscount d'Absac, the French Consul
General, and M. Eduiond iletirtol, coun
sel to the' French Consuluta, seated
themselves near the counsel for the de
fendant. Behind the bars of tho prisoners' pen
sat a motley gathering of gaudily attired
women and tough looking men, Cherry
utreot rouuders and habitues of tho East
River Hotel, awaiting their turn to be
called' as w Itnesses for the people.
Tho Algerian, closely attended by an
officer, emerged from tho pen and stum
bled down to the table occupied by his
couusel. The prisoner's hair was care
fully "i-llcked" and his straggly beard
was trimmed Into sonio semblance, of re
spectability. Ho halted iu front of the
jury, executed ids peculiar salaam by
rnislug his bands with tho palms extend
ed, placing tho tips of his lingers on his
breast u'ml touching them to his lips,
and then dropped into his seat and fixed
his gaze on vijoancy. All evea in tin.

and wrinkled vis go as he sat stolidly be
tween his counsel, Lawyer Friend, and
tho Interpreter, blinking Ht the sunlight
that utreuuicd full upon his face from
the southern windows.
Mont of. the testimony taken was a
repetition of that delivered at tho coro-
uer's Inquest six woeks ago.
Catherine McQovern, who llrst Identi
fied old Shakespeare's body; Policeman
Jeremiah J. Grllllu, who took tho knife
from under it, and Policeman John Mul
arkey, who kept stragglers awjty from
the scene of the murder, testified. As
the knife was passed from hand to hand
through tho jury box Frenchy observed
It in an nputhotic fashion.
A Point fur Frenchy
Mary Hlnetur, the girl who assigned a
room to Shakespeare and the missing
fair-haired man on the night of the mur
der, told bur story over again. She didn't
know who Shakespeare's companion was
or whether he had a mustache or hazel
eyes or fair hair. "He was tall ami light
ish," said Mary. "I thought ho might
have hazel eyes because ue was light
complexioned. The mun certaluly was
not Frenchy."
MIcroacopio Testa.
By microscopic tests it was shown
that the dark rod spots upon tho prison
er's sblrt and fingers were made by blood
mingled with intestinal lluld. The ex
perts testified that in the scraping from
Ben All's nails were infinitesimal bits of
the very food Carrie bad eaten, mingled
with bloou corpuscles, ilio woman was
old and thin blooded. Tho blood
corpuscles found upon the person of
Frenchy No. 1 were shown to have coma
from an anoiinlc person. Carrie Brown
was choked to death; then her murderer
lashed at her senseless body.
The experts for the prosecution testi
fied that minute lnspectiou of tho 11 110, (
dried blood found upou "Frenohy's"
hands uud clothes showed that it came
from a dead, not a living, body.
This is tlio most terrible evidence that
could be brought against Ameer Ban Ati.
Beside It the detectives' testimony about
bloodstains 011 tho floor leading to his
room itself sinks into Insignificance.
But will It be strong enough to overcome
the feeling in the prisoner's favor sure
to be created by tho absence of tho man
who led her to her death chamber?
The prisoner's lawyer closely exom
lned every witness and are working hard
to save their client. They will claim
that It was Slmkesponie's companion
who committed the crime, after which
lie made Ids escape by the skylight to
th roof.

MR. PALMER HONORED.

Mr. Itichard Palmer. Insldo foreman of

marked it beforo him aud I pray God that
his last days may bo his best."
Mr. Lowis then presented the cano.

Hit-hard Palnierby employes." Mr. Lowis
supplemented Iho presentation with ad-
ni! -n.i icumrxs, auting whloh lie DHid n
highest compliment to Mr. Palmer as a
ventilator of mines. Ho also said :
When Mr. Palmer assumed control of tho
inddo workings of tho Win. Ponn colliery
18 years ago it was said It would bo impos
sible to work tho eangway9 in tho summer
time and a letter ws Eent to tho proprietors
of tho colliery, stating that Messrs Lewis
and Palmor would ruin tho colliery. Not
withstanding this Mr. Palmor has oporated

Ho
Couldn't
Understand
That
Kind of Business.
A thrifty Polander who owns a small
grocery store has decided ho will deal with
hi own people in tho future. Not long
ago a neighboring business man Duuhta
birrol of ilour oU him, agreeing to pay for
it iu thlr'y d,ays. About two weeks later
the neighbor ca'.led on tho Polo and tradd
him tho barrel of flour for a number of
hams. At tho end of tho month tho Pole
went around after bis mouey.
"Monoy for what?" asked the neighbor.
"Fer der flour."
"Why, you'vo got your flour. I traded
it witli you for the bams, didn't I ?"
Tho Pole nodded and then asked pay for
the barm.
"Whynhou!dI pay you for tho bams
when I traded you the flour for the hums?"
Tho Polo looked bewildered and said be
must havo pay lor th 1 flour.
"Now, why should I 1 ay you for what I
haven't got?"
"Yes, Lut do hams?"
Tho noiirhbor smiloJ compassionately
and asked, "Didn't you trade rue the burnt
for tho flour?"
The Pole looked ti."od, and said ! "I no

will bo lar superior to any heretofore en
joyed by the towns rofcrrod to.
Superintendent Jaokson, of tho Slow
York division, Is now ongaRod in securing
information that will assist aim in oilth-
lish insr the now routo.
The towns that will bo bonefilted by tho
now system are PottBville, St. Olair, Now
Uo-ton, iloreo, Delano, Park- Place,
Mahauoy City, Shenandoah, Ifrackvillo,
Ii06t Creols, Oirardvillo and Ashland.
It will lie a great boon an improvement
of I. f. w. order, for under the existing:
eystom tko business men find it much
more advantageous to travel from one town
to another than to make use of the mails.
An extended fn 0 mail delivery is alto
contemplated. The HmuLiv is not in a
position to give to the public just what is
undor consideration, but It is known that
the servieo will ho mondod to a number of
small towns that now have post offieos.
fhey will bo supplied by the Shenando- .
and Mahauoy City oHlce.
rVmong tho improvomonts suggested aid
seriously contemplated is a. mounted lettor
carrier sorvlco bolwton Shonandoah and
Lost Creek, AVm. Ponn, ColoraJu, Con-
ners', Oilborton and liko places.
Such a system would be of wondarful ad-
vantago to this section.
Another progreifivo stop of tho presont
administration is a msvemont to supply all
houses in towns having the free mail de
livery system wilh letter boxt
oliarnr. Hundreds of samples of boxes
havo been suppliod tho govornment and as
