HRI8TMAS candy fes

of town received a
sovoro blow at tho min
isterial meeting hold in
tho Trinity Roformed
church, on West Lloyd
street, yesterday, and It
may bo expected that
tho announcement will
cause a walling and a gnashing of tcoth
among tho young peoplo who In past years
havo looked upon tho approach of Christmas
with longing gaze and watering mouths.
Tho anti-sandy meeting was attended by
Rev. E. Potts, of tho Wm. I'onu Methodist
Episcopal church, of Wm. Ponn, and tho fol
lowing local clorgymon: Bridgcraan,All Saints
Protestant Episcopal church; Itev. William

Rov. W. II. Harrison, English Baptist church;
Rov. Robert O'Boyle, Trinity Reformed

Rov. Potts presided at the mooting, which,
after a discussion of tho Christmas candy
distribution custom, adopted tho following
resolutions :
Jtemlved, That wo memorialize each Sunday

gifts on Chrlfctmus.

wgs to bo donated to tho fund for tho relief of
the unemployed of Kensington, Philadelphia.
One of tho clergymen who attendedthc
mooting said to day that the course taken in
regard to abolishing Uio candy custom was
prompted by abuse. It Is a needless expense
and tho mouoy thrown away by tho purchase
of worm generators can bo bettor employed
In tho relief of tho poor of tho parishes, or
some other moans of substantial benefit.
Sorao of tho clergymen invited failed to
attend the mooting, but it is understood they
are in sympathy with tho movonicnt.

OBB'8 OBSERVATIONS.
Wlmt Jlu Sees and Hears During Ills Trav
els About Town.
Eggs do not Improve with ago but friend
ship does. A man, or a woman too, for that
matter, should stick to old friends like a
porous plaster does to an old maid. There is
something almost sacred about old friends
and when found, make a note of it. True
friendship is much better sentimentthan lovo
because tho latter has a gross olemcnt in it.
Vou havo an old friend in tho town who was
a boy when you were a hoy or a girl when
you woro a girl and vico versa, and you aro
proud of tho friendship. Let us supposo that
you am a man being mado in the imago ol
one you will havo to pass for ono anyhow
and havo a dear old friend of this kind.
You have really never tested in a sordid
way this old friendship bocauso you are
prosperous and ho is prosperous, and there
has been no necessity for a test. You are
confident, however, that his friendship is of
tho purest gold and you know that yours is
Nelthor will tarnish if oxposod to tho ele
ments of adversity. Of this you aro willing
to mako a very big oath. Life goes on
smoothly and pleasantly with you and your
old friend, but ono day you very suddenly
And yourself lu a tight place. You lost a
heap of money in an unfortunate investment
and aro likely to lose a great deal more
unless jou can get a little accommodation.
The bank, which has been using your mouoy
for years and never paying you a cent of
interest, now refuses to let you have any of
somo other fellow's money unless you got a
first class endorser, who is willing to pay it
you can't when the note becomes due,
merely for old friendship's sake.
V
Pooh! That's easy enongh, there it your
old friend, he is well fixed; ho will help you
out lu a mluuto and be glad to do it. lie's
got a eolid bank account and won't miss a
few hundreds. You call on hlni 'aud after
tho nsual friendly greeting you unhesitating
ly state your mission. You are rather taken
aback wheu a thin skim of ice seems to
form at onco over tho river of his
cordlsllty. Ho is very sorry but he, too,
has overdrawn his bank account,' money is
very source, collections vory poor; he would
like very much to accommodate, would do it
in a moment if he had the money; would oven
pinch himself to do it, and all that sort of
thing. But won't he endorse your uoto? You
can get the cash at the bank on that. He
would like to, hut only last night he promised
his wife nover to indorse for another man
aud a man must not break his word to
his wlfo you know.
Ah, it's a glorious thing to havo an old
frieud you can depend on, isn't it? A
Bplendid, a magnificent thing. Old friends
are tho salt of the earth, ever retaining their
savor. They will novor go bask ou you, will
they? Of all priceless jewels commend you
now to old friendship. It is better than
rubles and far above all price. You have lots
of other old friends in the town and you try
them all, but tho auswer is just about the
same. Thoy would be only too glad to serve
you, if. Finally you get desperate, at the
crash comes near, and you go to somo old
fellow with whom you havo hardly an
acquaintance. You know he-has money but
you never haVe courttdhlm any and you are
oitravagnntly glad surprise ho helps you out
of the holo and you onco moro fool like man.
In tlio mcantlmo the old friend of your
boyhood, tlio ono to whom you stood as
Damon to Pythias, or the latter to tho former,
after you have left him goes into a saloon,
orders a pint with a friend, sots up So centors
and remarks casually "I guess Smith Is hard
up. Ho wanted to Inn row somo nionoy from
mo a littlo while ago. I vo got a fow thou
sand in tho bank,but I don't oaro to risk them
just now." This makes tho old friend to
whom ho is confiding swallow his drink so
hastily that it sets him to coughing. Lord
bless your soul, boy, ho was JuBt about asking
a liko favor himself and this throws a very
wot blanket ovor his speculative dream.
.
Let us supposo that you occupy n voryf good
position and llvo up to tho salary to satisfy
tho demands of what is facotitlously termed
"society." You havo a wife and two chil
dren, you feed them well, clotho thorn woll
and houso them woll. You havo hold tlio
position ton or fifteen years, and haveado
friends of nt least two-thirds of tho com
munity. In fact, you havo so many friends
that it makes sad Inroads on your wealth to
keep thorn in boor and cigars. Evorybody
knows you and evorybody likes you. You
number your old, dear friends by the hun
dreds, and thoy aro, a great many ofifthoni,
men of powor and iniluenco and placo, and
who speak as ono having authority. Thoy
havo told yon a thousand times "If you
over get in troublo como to 113, old follow, and
wo will soo you out."
One day you got in troublo. A reduction
of forco includes your place, and you find
yoursolf a partially unwilling gentleman of
leisure. Partially unwilling only, because
you really need a littlo rest, and you havon't
tho slightest fear of tho futuie. Ytiujhuvo a
little money, not much, and you havo a good
timo for a month or so. Hut finally, as funds
commenco to got low, you aro forcibly ro
inindod that you had bettor got to work.
You will havo uo troublo in doing this, of
course. Somo of your old friends aro at tlio
head of great establishments, with plenty of
places to ho filled and vacancies always oc-
cuiring. Some of them aro men of vast in
iluenco, whoso names aro a towor of strength
In tho councils of tho nation, and they will
bo only too glad to placo you in a fino
position again, ono with a largo salary and
correspondingly littlo work. Why, of course,
thoy will.
You go to them confident, buoyant, head
up, with a hail fellow-well met air, lqt bo
fore tho month is up you havo loft town or
aro sneaking around among them, begging
for tho crumbs that may fall from their
tables. Tho man who is at tho head, of a
big buslnoss is extrenToly sorry, but thero is
no vacancy now, and not tho slightest chance
of ono occurring In tho near future. Tho
next day ho appoints two strangers to com
fortable places, and without making tho
slightest inquiry into their antecedents'. Tho
man of iniluenco is tho sorriest fellow you
ever saw when you tell him what you want,
but he has signed so many papers lately, and
asked so many favors, that ho is ashamed to
ask for any moro right now. If you will
como around, say in six months or so, he may
bo nolo to do somothiug for you.
And you, my good woman, you have somo
splendid old friends among tho women of
your acquaintance, havQn't you? Ain't thoy
just too swcot fornnything? You belong to all
the societies they do, to tho same church and
attend (he samo balls and parties and recep
tions. You tell-all your secrets to oach other
and always kiss when you moot or part. But
ono day your husband dlos suddonly and it is
discovered that ho is a defaulter and has loft
you almost without a penny, even tlio houso
being heavily mortgaged. Tho furnituro bo
longs to you, and outside of your grout grief
for tho loss you had sustained, you have but
littlo fear as to tho future Your old friends
woro all at the funeral, and shed toars as
thoy crowdod near you aud told you to keep
up a bravo heart, that tho Lord will provide.
You soon realize that Ho is to bo your main
dependence.
To your great surprise, two weeks after
your husband's death you find that your
oallers are principally lawyers and duns, and
that your visits from old friends aro very fow
aud far between. Dressed in deep mourning
you determine to call upon them and consult
with them as to how you shall best face tho
dreadful future. To your intense astonish,
ment you discover that most of them are
"out" and that those who are "in" are only
so in tho formal sense of tho word. However,
old friends are not to be sneezed at, and the
best way to keep them is not to neod them.

COMPLIMENT NO ONE.
A Trick by Which ltepubllotns Always
Suffer.
Tho old trick of working Republicans for
complimentary votes for tho Democratic can
didates is being played to-day for all it is
worth. It is by such methods as this that the
Democrats succeed In electing tholr entire
ticket, po matter what tho character or
ability of their candidates may be. No Re
publican should load himself to such a scheme
for it Is nothing but a trick to gain a Demo
cratic victory for tho Bpolls of office. Every
Republican in every precinct sho'ulfT bo
warned not to enter into such arrangement.
No bargain should be mado for an exchange
of compliments, for invariably It ends in a
Democratic gaiu, Every Republican who
desires tho success of his parly will vote a
straight ticket; ho will not glvo a complimen
tary vote to any oandidate not the straight
Republican ticket for if" he does it Is as plain
as A B C that the Democratic candidate ho
thus compliments scores a gain of two rotes.
Tho only site rule is to vote straight, and if
every Republican will heod this warning and
act accordingly tho Republican ratty will
soon gain something in Schuylkill county

An Insurance Association I. the Complain
ant An lnvostl);4tl(ii Seem, to Show
That tho A reused Man Win 11s Much
Deceived us tlio Company.
fj HERE was an arrest in
town yesterday which
was important in many
respects. In tho first
placo it involved ono of
our prominent citizens,
and secondly it laid
bare tho systom by which a gigantic fraud is
perpetrated through tho agoncy of beneficial
and fraternal associations.
Boforo giving tho facts of tho caso it is but
fair to stato that tho investigation thus far
mado by tho Herald warrants tho assertion
that the townsman arrested is more a victim
of circumstances than an otTcndor and when
tho proper tlmo comes ho will bo able to
show that ho was as much Imposed upon as
thoso who caused tho arrest?
Yesterday tho town was visited by Do-
tcctivo C. W. Leary, of tlio Philadelphia'
Pinkcrtou sorvlco. The detective proceodod
to tho ollico of Justico Shoemaker and pre
sented a warrant for endorsement. After
this formality tho detoctlvo called upon Dr.
Ilochlerncr and placod him under arrest.
Detective Leary is not a stranger to Shen
andoah. Sevoral years ago ho spent somo-
time hero investigating tho robbery of
Daniel Ellis, which cose caused a groat sen
sation as the investigation cast somo very
unpleasant reflections upon somo of the
prominent men of that timo.
Tlio case in which Detective Leary acted
yesterday is one which reveals a system of
fraud practiced upon an insuranco concern
known as Tho National Fraternal Union of
Cincinnati, Ohio, Tills association pays $35
per week sick benefits to a certain class of
members. Three branches of the ordor wore
organized in Philadelphia by 0110 Dr.
Liohoman. According to tlio allegations
certain members of tho organization have
boeu collocting 4-35 per week benefits upon
certificates of illness issued by physicians
when in fact the parties drawing tho boncfits
havo been shamming illness.
Tho chargo upon which Dr. Hochlerner
was arrested yesterday is that he Issued a
certificate of illness which enabled a member
of tho association to draw boncfits to which
ho was not entitled by reason of any dis
ability. Detective Leary spent but littlo timo
hero. Immediately after tho arrest ho and
Dr. llochlernor loft for Philadelphia and very
few peoplo had any knowledge of tho affair.
A friend of tho doctor's stated last night
that tho accused man is more a victim of cir
cumstances. Some months ago, on account of
a change ownership of a local drug store, Dr.
Uochlcrner moved from town to Philadel
phia and while a resident of that city made
acquaintances which led to his appointment
as examining physician for the society
namod. A short timo ago tho Doctor moved
back to town and aftor that removal thoro
were certain exposures which led to tho im
plication of Dr. Hochlerner and several other
physicians still residing in Philadelphia.
According to the doctor's friends ho at
worst was interested in but one fraudulent
case and his action in that caso was not duo
to any design or voluntary act on his part,
but rather to fraud and doceptlon practiced
upon himself. As ono of tho friends gay,
"If a man throws himself upon his baok and
complains of a severe pain in his back and
side, what can the physician do but proscribe?
And that is the caso with Dr. Hochlerner.
Uo was called lu and finding tho man ill,
prescribed for him. When a certificate of
illness was asked for ho granted it."
The warrant upon which the arrest was
made was issued by Magistrate Polo of
Philadelphia ou October 17th, on oath of one
Don A. Phelps, a representative of the
Insuranco association, charging conspiracy
with intent to cheat and defraud. The delay
in tho execution of the warrant was duo to
tho doctor's removal from Philadelphia and
subsequent correspondence through Chief of
Police O'Uara, ot town, conducted for the
purpose of ascertaining whether the doctor
was a resident of this place.

THE "WATER OASES.
I-Hwyor Sclmlck Injudiciously Monkeys"
With 11 llurz Huw.
Quito n number of town peoplo attended
tho Pottsvillo court yesterday to hoar argu
ments 'iu tho public water works injunction
casos. Tho suit of tlio Shenandoah Water
Company was postpone! until noxt Monday,
but tho arguments in tho easra of the Glrard
Estato and Thomas Coal Company woro
proceeded with and concluded. The oourt
reserved its decision.
Whllo A. W. Schalck, Esq., tho counsol for
tho borough of Shenandoah, was making his
argument his zealousneas in tho intorost of
hla clients got tlio uppor hand of his judg
ment aud ho alluded to Thomas Baird, super
intendent of tho Kohloy Run colliory. as
"Tommy" Baird. Tho superintendent, who
was ono in tho court room, became indig
nant and stated for tho information of tho
oourt that ho would not allow any man to
alludoto him as "Tommy." Tho lawyer
made an apology and tho argument proceeded.
Mr. Baird should bo applauded for his act
aud tho Judges should put a hridlo on tho
tongues of somo of tho lawyers. Thoro is
too much unseemly bullbonory lu tho court
rooms by mombors of tho legal fraternity
with swollod hoads and thoy should be re
quired to adhere as strictly as possiblo to tho
logitlmato lines of. arguraont. It is hard to
seo what point Mr. Schalck expected to gain
by making sarcastic slaps at Mr. Baird, but
tho noxt tlmo ho encounters that gontlcman
ho will probably romembor that ho has a
Tartar to doal with and ho a littlo more
careful.
