Watkin Waters Post No. 140, G. A. H., Is exerting Itself to make tlio observance of Decoration Day In Shenandoah this year a fitting reverenco ol the memory of the men who saved the nation by their heroic conduct during the battle to keep the states united. To this end the com mander and committee of tlio post are working Incessantly and by appeals through the press and In person they are urging the co-operation of the citizens. The following communication has been issued: To the Patriotic Citizens of Shenan doah : We feel called upon to appeal to your loyalty and urge that you arouso your selves and neighbors to a proper realiza tion of the true principles which under lies the observance ot Memorial Day. We make this special appear because vto fear that there Is a degeneracy of patriotism in the hearts of many ot our citizens. There seems to bo n tendency to make this sacred day one of mirth, frivolity and even debauchery, which means dishonor to our loyalty and disgrace to our patriot Ism. It is therefore incumbent upon us that we renew our determination to stand by the graves ot our fallen heroes, remain true to the principles for which they died and protest against the desecration of Memorial Day with all its hallowed memories. We protest against excurs ions and nlcnlcs on that dnv. Theso things do more than the open enemy to undermine our institutions, me sacreu object becomes nbMorbed in revelry and lends the young and old minds away from the spirit of patriotism which inspired such brilliant examples of citizenship as Washington and Lincoln. Such diver slons on Memorial Day are un-American. uu-ltepuhllcnn and un-I)emocratlc ; wholly nevoid ol loyalty to principles, He licient in fealty to our blood-bought coun try, and wholly Insensible to the highest claims 01 patriotism. Public sentiment should assert itself; parents should aim to guide their child ren; teachers should train the minds of their scholars in the channel of American manhood and heroism so that they will be prepared at all times to repudiato an insult to the memory of the noble dead. Let public conscience assert Itself to Ignore and condemn excursions of pleasure and pursuits of personal gain on Memorial Day as disintegrating intluences upon our common country and American patriotism.

Fresh leer at Schmlckt r's, 104 S. Main street, i-so-im A PROTEST. Lawyer Foster's Argument Itepndlated by th. Town llutchers. Tho butchers of town take exception to the argument made by Sol. Foster, Esq., In his plea before the Hoard of Health In behalf ns Otto Carl, for n permit to erect n slaughter house. There Is no objection to Mr. Carl's application and the butchers have nothing to sny on thnt score, but they emphatically protest against Mr, Foster's remarks concerning "imported" beef. In the first placo the beef Mr. roster reicrs to is not imported; secondly, Mr. Foster evidently does not know what he is talilng about when he Bays tho beef Is taken "on suspicion from a butcher wuo nas nought, it from a dealer away oil In tho west who killed It, nnd you don't know how It died, or the condition the minimi was in ;" in the third plnce, Mr. Foster is evidently ignorant of the fact that there Is not a butcher In the town who does not deal In Chicago dressed beef. As dealers In this beef tho butchers feel that Mr. Foster's remarks were an un warranted attack upon their business, and he even, unkowlngly no doubt, at tacked tho business of his own client. They desire to call the public's attention to the guarantee nlTnrded them by tho system of government inspection now in force at tho abattoirs in Chicago, Kansas City and Omaha. Every carcass of beef or pork killed Is inspected by duly authorized government inspectors, nnd is tagged by them with their inspection certificate. nnd every package of meats and other louci product mnnutaciureu is stamped with the government inspection stamp. This gives customers absolute assurnncp of thu purity and henlthfulncss of the products. WHO 19 SHE ? A Woutd.be Stili-hl" Polled at Mahanoy City. Special to the IIehai.o. Mahanoy' City, May 17. As an elec tric car was bounding down tho lonely grade nenrjthe Mahanoy City Storage yard, last evening, the motorman was suddenly startled by the form of a woman, standing upon the track, facing the car and in the attitude of one resolved upon suicide. Her thin and shrunken body was drawn forwnrd, her eyes wore an expression of terror, the parted lips revealed the clenched teeth nnd her raised hands were half opened as though In readiness to grasp something. The current was reversed and brakes applied nnd tho car wn btopped as it al most touched her body. The motormnn jumped oil nnd attempted to lay hold of the woman, but with a little shriek she bounded away and down into the coal mus and was soon swallowed up in tut' darkness, i The motgrman describes her ns being buuiii i.i years ui age, uresseu in uuri, clothes. One sleeve was almost torn from her arm. Later in the evening he caught a glimpse of her entering n place on Centre street, east of Main, but no one in that locality could recall tho visit of such a person tnis morning. ANOTHER CONVENTION.

GLUTTED LINE WIRES I Held As If In a Vise mid His l-'elloir Work- men, Parnljred by Astonishment, Wern Ullllble to Itellevu Him Pre.vnco of Mind llreaks Pull. Allan Anspnch, a resident of North Pear alley, has a pretty good Idea of the sensation a man experiences when being electrocuted. Ho earned tho experience almost at tho cost of his life while at work on a Lakeside Electric Hallway con structlon car nenr tho power house at Mnhanoy City. Anspach was in tho cngo or top part of the car making connections between the span wires and trolley. As tho car was moved a dangling span wire impeded Its progress. Anspach reached for the dang ling wire with the Intention of raising and passing it over his hoad, but nt the tune he grasped It with .mo hand ho at tempted to htendy himself by clutching the trolley wire with his other hand. Tho workmen who were on the ground nt the base of the car did not see the act but had their attention drawn to tho con sequence by Ansnnch s cries for holn The current of 500 volts passing through the trolley and into tho span wire with Anspach'sbodyasthe connection held the man as m a vice. Ho braced his feet airalnst tho unrurhts of the car and with all the strength nt his command tried to pull his hands from the wires, but he could not stir a muscle of the arms. The fellow workmen seemed as much paralyzed as Anspnch nnd stood gnzing at tne uniortunnte man in muto astonish ment. Meanwhile Ansnnch was velllmr for help nnd still braced to pull his arms from the wires. Suddenly he fell back wards from the car nnd dropped towards tne ground, iweive teet ueiow. uno ol the workmen had the presence of mind and courage to throw his bodv forwaril in a convex form and broke the force of the fall, Ansnach's bodv. In Its descent. striking the workman on the chest, but the tatter was only slightly bruised. The fall was due by Anspach's sudden releaso from the wiro bv turnintr oft" the current. Tho engineer at the power house happened to look through one of the windows nnd saw tho dangerous posi tion Anspnch was in. His first thought was to turn oil the current nnd ns he did so the victim toppled backwards from his braced position. Anspach was but slightly Injured by the fall, one of his shoulders being bruised, but his hands were severely burned by the current nnd his arms and chest were made very sore by It. Anspnch remained partly dazed for some time alter ins drop, hut recovered from the elTects while on his way home. He says the experience has caused hint to resolve not to seek employment as a line man on an electric railway aixnln. An expert says tho man ha. I 1 miraculous escape.

The professor listened, his faco wearing a faint expression of ninimi'inent. mul nr. caslonally his voice was raised in assent or denial as the remarks of the other re quired. After the conversation had gone on at this rato for some time, the ex pounder of learning turned about In bin sent nnd looking his companion In the face, inquired : "For whom do you tnko me ?" The man of crops was nlniost dumbfounded. "Peale, of Schuylkill Haven, of course." His answer was greeted by a hearty laugh from tlie professor, who introduced him self and told how often he had been mis taken for the wealthy farmer and Implement agent; of thenumberof people who would order him to send them a rake, a plow or a patent binder nnd that he wouldn't feel a bit surprised if some fellow would run up to him this summer and put two or three hundred dollars in his hands for some sale lnndo by his good looking double. Exciting llunttwny. A team of horses belonging to Christ. Schmidt, the I.iiner Brewing Company's agent, ran away this morning nnd in ad dition to creating considerable excitement along the course they took the horses almost caused extensive loss to people who had teams and wagons standing ou the roadways. The horses ran for two squnres on Conl street and then turned southward on Pear alley. L'pon reaching Lloyd street they first turned towards Main street, but made a short turnaround tho corner on the opposite sideof Lloyd nnd continued on Pear alley. Just after passing the corner tho brew ery wagon collided with n heavy truck. The latter was turned over on its side nnd the brewery ivngou careened In the opposite direction and in such a man ner us to dump a dozen kegs ou the ground. This did not halt the horses.
