BUSINESS CIRCLES DULL !
The Boom Looked For Alter the Pull
Time of November Failed lo Mater
ializeComplaints on All Sides.
It was exx-ct(-d thattho piy distributed
by the Philadelphia & Heading Coal &
Iron Company on Saturday would give
business circles In the town n boom, but
that result did not materialize. It was
the first pay day In several years on which
the employes received a full two weeks'
pay, but the business men say the effect
was little different to the results of other
pay dayB.
The streets were thronged with people
during the early part of Saturday night
before, the rain fell, but the stores failed
to attract them. The great majority of
the promcnaders scorned bent only on tak
ing fresh air.
Tho police and constables also antici
pated a big rush of business on account
of the full pay, but taey, too, were disap
pointed. There were very fow drunks
upon the streets and they succeeded tu
getting through the night without creat
lug disturbance. As one of tho results
the dockets of the justices showed blank
pages to day and there U surprise in all
quarters.
The accepted explanation for the out
come is that the times have been so hard
the full two-week pay was but a drop In
the bucket to most people and the out
look for the last month of the jear Is su
gloooiny they are enforcing economy until
some tidings for the opening of the new
year ctn be received. There is certainly
i very depressed condition of uffairs
In the town aid the adoption
of the three-.iuarter time schedule
at tho mines in no way improves
the picture. When hundreds of people
walk the strets on the night of pay day
and the Monday following and there is an
absence of baskets and bundles It is very
clear evidence that money U very tight,
The busluess men, ho.vever, nre bracing
themselves on the hope that the next pay
which will be for the last two (full) weeks
of November, may create a little boom.
As UHiml on Mondays succeeding pay
days Tax Collector Soanlau had his hands
full this moruing catching peop'e who
were getting out of town without paying
taxes. He caught several. The most
noteworthy oase was that of a young, well
dressed Pole who was stopped nt the
Lehigh Valley depot. Ho did not plead
poverty, but wit.u.ui, a sniitu told the
collector that he was not n resident of
the town; that became herefrom Cum
boht Saturday night to buy clothing
and was ou his way home. The
Tax Collector smiled with pirdohable
pride as he told the yjutig man that he
was glad to he.ir that tbe Shenandoah
market had become, so attractive that It
could draw people from such a distance,
but with the next breath the tollec'.or
winked his other eye and the tip Ious Pole
was told that ho would havo to pay the
taxi i.
The young man walked up and down
the platform until the train bound for
Pottsville arrived, when he picked up his
trunk and put It In the baggage car.
Scanlan stepped forward and pulled the
trunk out of tho car. The waiting pas
sengers gathered lii groups, expecting to
see a tinsel. Tne young man walked up
to tho collector and asked, "What yon
want?" Tub crisis hnd come, but the
clash failed to materialize. The young
man walked away to seek tne udvico of
friends and left the collector lu poises. Ion

Last season they were obliged to decline

Thlsbpeaks very loudly the praises of
