A walk past tho busi ness places will con vince him of It, There you get tho real Christmas flavor, You sco men of business who can totcuploiif; columns of figures white you slick on tho first three figures, looking at dolls with u shrewd and cautious air. Capital is timid, ami they don't propose to get a spavined or wind-broken doll if euro can help it. They tip the toy up to see if it shuts its eyes properly and poko it in j the stomach to see if it squawks successfully. They serutinizo its wig and examine lis joints and they take moro time over tho bargain than they would in swinging a real estate deal. Young hobbledehoy fellows who are or dinarily afraid to bo seen near a doll, lest it should bo legarded as .a femlulno weakness, are pricing them, too. they are thinking of their little sisters and wondering' whether a tea-set or a doll with red hair, that you can couib, would ho better. They cau't buy both out of a salary of $5 a week. All tho stores have the most beautiful tin sel things to hang on tho Chiistmas trees, silvered globes of green and red and bluo and orango gla&s, curious oblong shapes blripud wilh the gayest enamel, hunches of silvered grapes of all hues, long slivers of Bhlniag metallic stuff to strew over the trees, liny coloied tapers, paper roses of such openness of bloom as 110 earth-born flowcis ever had, gilt paper banjos, stars, crescents, harps i everything that you can think of to stick on that tree which is to go into tho front parlori and is to bo a secret until Christmas Evo cornos, and then is to be lighted up and be such a blaze of winking glories that baby eyes will bulge out at itssplendors,and pudgy hands will clap and shrill voices will chorus: ''Oh a oh!

Now after reflecting ovor all these bright foretokens of Christmas, doesn't it strike somo of our children and niauy ol our grown people that a Christmas morning collection for tho benefit of somo worthy institution would bo a pleasing ovent for that happy morning ? In many churches of the country the Christmas collection has been set apart for ono purposo or another, In somo cues for half a century or moro and Christmas Day this year will bo Hospital Sunday in many of tho largest churches .in , -tho country, Wouldn't it be a good,, idea to take collections in the churches of town uoxt Suuuav for tho benefit of thelbrary at the Fountain Springs Miners' Hospital? t Santa Ci.auh All goods warranted -as,, represented, or money refunded, at Holdennau's jewolry store, corner Main and Lloyd streets. 12-10-tf Cullies' Christmas. i Juvcnilo operetta will be rendered in the Welsh Baptist chinch on Friday evening, December 23, 1692, under tho direction of John E, Davis.

Their action in wanting tb oxcludo newspaper reporters from the besslons would Indicate that tho mem bers are too cowardly to havo their actions' corroetly placed beforo tho public or clso their transactions are of such a shady char acter that they cannot stand the light of tho press. Sinmokin Ditpatrh. Tho Shenandoah town council has passed resolutions to debar representatives of tho Evknino Herald of that place from meet- j ings of that body. Tho action is unjust, tho Evknino IIkbald may have incurred the displeasure of members of their board of law makers, wo venture to bay tho represen tatives of hat independent nnd aggressive journal will continue lo occupy a front seat at all subsequent meetings, desplto the silly attempt lo bar them out. Ml. funnel Daily News. Shenandoah's borough council has boy. cotted tho HintALD of that place, one of tho members alleging that tho Hkkald has been misrepresenting tho doings of that august body. The llKKALD teporters aro forbidden to uttend council's meetings and tho town clerk has been ordered to withhold all Information on borough business from tho 1 IlKltALi-. The boiough council of a big town like Shenandoah cannot afford to play I tho baby act. Jlost likely tho Hkbai.d's j criticisms were just and that Is tho reason I why they hurt, the action of council would lead to this supposition and to an embarrass ing acknowledgement of guilt. It Is a question whether tho council has a right to exclude tho IIisuald's reporters. Tho mem bers of council are tho servants of the people; tho pcoplo naturally want to know what their servants are doing and look to tho newspaper for tho proceedings. If the council has been misrepresented it has a remedy other than the exclusion of tho representatives of a fearless newspaper. Shenandoah council's action savors too much of star chamber methods.

Miss Alice Sockolosky, ono of tho young women who were mentioned in connection with tho Connell robbery mentioned in tho Herald on Monday, called at the offico of this paper to-day and asked perinissiun to make a statement in rogaid to tho caso. Miss Sockolosky is a handsono young woman who speaks the English languago fluently and dresses stylishly. Sho was accompanied by her sister, Maggie, who is also one of the accused in the case. Miss Sockolosky said: "The facts of tho case as given to tho public aro outrageous. Neither my parents or myself know that any of tho goods had been stolen until after my sister, Maggie, confessed; and nouo of tho stolen goods were found In our house, except a few pieces of plush and other goods found in Maggie's possession, Katie Connell, who confessed to tho stealings, and Maggie my slstor, were schoolmates and traveled to gether. When my mother or myself wanted a dress or anything wo used to giro Maggie money to get tho goods and Instead of buying the goods she and Katie Connell would spend tho money and tho Connell girl would cut tho goods from what was in her parents' house It is not truo that tho bteallng went on for two years. It lasted only since last Septem ber, when Katie Connell's'sister, Mamo, went out West. Maggie, my sister, got a whipping beforo the search lost woek and sho confessed that she spent tho monojj we had given her to buy goods with Katlo Connell and Katie cut tho pieces wo wanted from goods in hor iiarents' house. Tho piece of wedding gown tho ollicerssay thoy found was a waist I oiailo for Maggie. I gave Maggie mouoy to buy the goods. Sho shared It with Katie Connell aud Katie cut the goods from pieces that were In her house nud brought it to us wrapped in a piece of paper as If it had been bought in a storo. Wo supposed tho goods had been purchased and made them up as we intended. As to the piece of carpet, Katie Connell cut it off of a piece in her houie, wrapped it in a shawl and sent It to our Maggie. Katie and our girl used it to play house in tho upper part of our houso. This was a week beforo the soareh. After they jot through playing they put the carpet In a closet. When Magglo saw the constables coming sho hid tho carpet in tho coal shanty and thero it was found when tho search was made. I wish to eay that my mother and myself knew nothing of the stealings beforo the confessions. Tho mouoy we gave to purchase goods at stores tho two girls shared between them and Katie Council from her house stole what we told Maggie to purchase."

James Also Died YeBterday. ARTIN F. O'HARAdied at Ills rosidenco, on East Lloyd street, at a quarterof seven o'clock last evening. Tho an- nounccment was a great surprlEo and was re- ceived with deep feel- ings of regret on M sides. None of tho deceased's friends had any idea yesterday when he was removed to his home after having his leg crushed on tho Lehigh rail-1 road that fatal results would follow, but ; during tho afternoon unfavorable symptoms , developed. The victim fulled to rfiliy from ! the shock aud spitting of blood indicated internal injuries. Dr. J. C, Blddlo was summoned from tho Miners' Hospital Immediately after the accident to amputate tho mancled limb. Pending the arrival of tho Eurgeou the sufferer received attendance, from his brother, Dr. O'Hara and Dr. Straup, aud Rev. Father Kane, of the Annunciation church, adminis tered spiritual consolation. Dr. Biddle arrived oti the 3:09 Lehigh Valley train from Ashlaiu'., The victim was still prostrated by shock. Shortly alter 0 o'clock arrangements were made for tho operation, but were again abandoned as tho patient Mill suffered from sh ock and was too weak.

About three yoars ago ho married Miss Mary Qiiiun, daughter of John T. uud Margaret Quinn, of Mahanoy City, and as a a result ot tho uniou there aro two surviving children, the oldost being about two years of age. Several mouths ago Mr. O'Hara was ap pointed to fill a position in tho office of tho I'. & R. C. & I. Co.'s Shenandoah City colliery and he filled tho position with much satisfac tion to tho company and credit to himself up to the time of his death. It was while on his way from tho office to havo his dinner at homo that ho met with the distressing accident. Ho was walking on tho railroad. and in stepping out of the way of an cngino approaching In front ho was struck by the engine of a frieght train that he did not know was approaching from tho rear. It is believed that internal injuries were sustained when tho freight train struck him and knocked him against the first engine. Miss Nelllo O'Hara, who Is toaching school at Bucksvillc, aud James J. O'Hara, a student ut the Pennsylvania University, Philadel phia, wore siuumonod homo by telegrams last night aud aro expected homo to day.

You were then very 111 with malarial fever, contracted at Portsmouth, just across the river from here.
