enn of Mahnv City wo Hip tho follow
ing: "Krldiiy evening lout a few of Mr.
Hiin is' tlioiiMimlh of friend concluded
that his eurnewt efforts to Improve labor
in tho cor. I distrlets of Schuylkill en
titled him to nn appropriate token of
th-1 respect held for him hy the business
Interests of the community.
''Tho committee decided that a first-
class solid 14k gold watch would be an
appropriate jjift.
"The talented organizer had no Inti
mation of the surprise In waiting for
him, and when a largo number of the
contributors called on him at tho Penn
sylvania IIoU-l at 10 o'clock Saturday
evening ai d. having already escorted
him to tho parlor of the hotel, present
ed him with the hnndnmno timepiece,
Mr. Harris was visibly affected.
"In presenting the gift of Mr. Harris'
friends, tho editor of tho Americnn said
no pleasanter duty had been his In
many years. He said that Mr. Harris
needed no eulogies, that, the splendid
condition Industrial and mercantile pur
suits are assuming in this territory was
largely due o tho untiringly honest
efforts of the gentleman whom he hoped
would accept the token In tho spirit In
which it wai presented that of appre
ciation.
"Mr. Harris accepted the gift of
friends in a feeling and earnest speech,
saying what a sunse of pride It gave
him to know that his efforts, Bmall
though they might have been, to assist
labor to rise again was appreciated
by the business interests of Mahanoy
City.
"During thu evening a prominent
merchant, whllo speaking at table,
made a remark which caught the en
dorscment of all present. Ho said there
was a strong current running in the
direction of Mr. Harris, which the
speaker was sure, would carry him into
the Senate of Pennsylvania. Tho gon
tleman stated that It was In the law
making department that men of Harris'
known honesty and ability wore sorely
needed, and that organized labor was
not true to itself If it kept its eyes in a
bandage at Buch times.
"We aro reliably informed that It is
Mr. Harris' Intention to move his family
to town and take up permanent resl
denee here."
