TWENTY-TWO years can hardly be con sidered too severe a punishment for a murderer who premeditates the act, and as it is not likely any one with sutiicient iniluence will try for a pardon for Berg man, it may be said he has received a life sentence for his attempt to kill Frick, the manager of the Carnegie works. There would, however, be far more juaticee in this sentence if the man who is responsible the lockout, and the subsequent killing of workmen and detectives, would also lie brought to the bar and given twenty-two yearn for the lives he sacrificed to attain his sel fish aims. The legal law does not re gard him as guilty of any crime, but there is a higher bar before which Frick will have to stand and answer. THE Republicans of this county are to he pitied. The nominations made at the convention demoralized the party from Pittston to Hazloton, and now, to make matters worse, the candidates have commenced to send in their resig nations. Sutiiif, the man who wanted to run for sheriff and after getting knocked out was put up for recorder, has wisely come to the conclusion that he is on dangerous ground while he Btands in Russell's path to that office. The delegates will hold another conven tion on Tuesday, and anybody who is real anxious for a political thrashing should be given the nomination. Rus sell will sweep the lower end. KEEP your eye on the combine sheets ' for the next few days. The Philadel- j phia Star had a two column editorial on ; Saturday under the head of "Railway Wars Again," and a marked copy lias been sent to every editor in the eastern part of the state. Those who are in j favor of the deal or afraid of McLeod will publish parts of it, and those who are not nfraid of the man who said he cares no more about the law than he does a 1 Sioux Indian, they will dump it in the 1 waste-basket. There are several papers ' that for reasons best known to their editors have taken nodirectstand on the deal, but they show their friendship to the Reading by republishing all of the above sort of matter sent to them. BEFORE the Republican convention was held the TRIBUNE said it hoped the party would nominate candidates who could put some life in the campaign. It was understood, of course, they would tiave no show on election day, hut that should not cause them to be falling over one another in their efforts to get off the ticket. The idea of leaving a presiden- i tial year like this pass tiy without mak- ' ing some sort of a fight for power is ridiculous. No doubt the past few years have taught the Republicans the folly of trying to carry Luzerne, and they refuse to let the Democrats have any more fan with their little aspirations. From all - appearances it will lie a go-as-you-please campaign on their side, ending in the usual way. A Cliiince for the Seuato. 'flic Republican senators whose terms expire in 1893 are from California, Connecticut, Idaho, Maine, Massachu setts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North ' Dakoto, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode ■ Island, Vermont, Washington, Wiscon- | sin and Wyoming, nineteen in all. I The terniß of Democratic senators from Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Mary land, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia, eleven sure Democratic states, end next March. I!y a change of four Republican sena tors the Republicans will lose control of the senate. The election of six Demo cratic senators in place of Republicans would give the Democrats a majority over all. With Republicans retiring in Connecticut, California, Michigan, Min nesota, Montana, Nebraska, New York and Wisconsin, the case is not hopeless. A Democratic president, a Democratic senate and a Democratic house would mean reduced and honest taxation. < RlgßAllnc 1*I1AOD. A series of interesting experiments was conducted the other night at Stan ford Bridge Grounds, London, with bal loon and apparatus invented and im proved by Mr. Eric Bruce for use in mil itary signaling at night over intervening woods and hills. Within the balloon are hung on a small swinging ladder six incandescent lamps, connected by insu lated cable with a battery on the ground, worked that night at twenty-four volts and giving sixty candle power of illumi nation. By ready manipulation of the buttons at the instrument the operator flashes on the translucent sides of the balloon th!b signals of the Morse or any code, and these can bo easily read at a distance of six miles. The balloon used was a small one of eighteen feet diameter, containing 1,000 feet of gas, and was held by cable at a height of about 800 foot The strong wind prevailing rendered the position of the balloon unsteady anil uncertain, but the signals were nevertheless read by military experts, and were answered from a station on land. The experi ments were witnessed by Prince Ed ward of Saxe-Weimar, by military at taches of the Chinese and other embas sies and a number of scientific men. The experiments were varied by hang ing the lamps outside below the neck ef the balloon and flashing direct. The illuminated balloon when a few feet above ground gives a beautiful light, and can be utilized when required for executing work at night.—London News. Lionized the Wrong Englishman. The Hotel Del Monto at Monterey, ! Gal., is stirred up over a ludicrons mis take by which a prosaic English mer chant was lionized as Robert Buchanan, poet and dramatist. The Briton arrived at the hotel three days ago with two friends. He regis tered in a fine, literary hand, and as lie bore a strong resemblance to the author several ladies present declared he must bo the author of "The Shadow of tho Sword." So several ladies desired him to write his autograph in their albums with some poetical sentiment. He re ceived all their flattery complacently, but grinding out poetry for them kept him up all night and the result was something to shako confidence in their idol. The next day he was the center of an admiring gronp. His companions be came suspicious and asked the hotel clerk why so much attention was paid their friend. They were amazed whon they learnod tho true reason, because they declared their friend had never heard of Buchanan. They broke the news gently to him, hut his conceit re ceived a groat shock. All three packed and left before disclosures came.—Cor. Chicago Herald. The Wilde Boys' First Appearance. It is not generally known that the brothers Oscar and Willie Wilde first came to public notice on tho occasion of the centenary of Thomas Moore at Dub lin about fifteen years ago. It was pro posed to perform an odo specially writ ten for the occasion by Mr. S. N. Elring ton and composed by the well known Irish composer, John William Glover. The Wilde brothers, assisted by Mr. Sexton, the member for West Belfast, and then on the staff of The Nation, led a furious and successful opposition against the official adoption of the Nolan-Glover ode. It may be only a coincidence that the music to "The Poet and Puppets" at the Comed\ theater is written by a grand son of the rejected composer.—lrish Times. In Chains In India. The practice of binding religions per sons still exists in India, as is evidenced by the following from the Allahabad (India) Pioneer. The incident occurred recently at Meerut: A fakir, wearing nearly five maunds (490 pounds) of iron chains and hands on him, recently left tho cantonment station. The rail way authorities declined to allow him to travel as a passenger, but sent him as goods by weight, in spite of his argu ment that native women were nevor charged for their anklots and bangles. Tho iron absorbed the heat so mnch that tho man had to be incessantly sprinkled with water. Ho is an old man and nearly died at the station. Luck iu Photographing Lightning. One of the most remarkable and suc cessful photographs of lightning ever known was made by Mr. liusk, at Haines Falls, in the Catskills, during the electrical display the other night. The lateral zigzag streaks of fire against the massive slope of Mount Lincoln were instantaneously caught in the exposure and are plainly and sharply shown in the print, which also shows bursting bolts of lightning in the upper atmos phere, where the vivid illumination casts wonderful shadows upon the sur rounding mountains. The print is an interesting study of atmospheric elec tricity.—Albany Journal. A Word About Ills Mother. A neat report is recorded of the Mar quis of Carmarthen, the Duko of Leed's eldest son, who, at the recent elections in England, was returned for Brixton by a large majority. The night before the election, while he was addressing a mass meeting, he was interrupted by a cry of, "Does your mother know yon're out?"—a referenco to his very youthful appearance. "Oh, yea, she knows I'm out," said the young candidate, "and she hopes tomorrow she'll know I'm in." —London Lottor. The Failure of the Peach Crop. The newspapers come filled with re porta-of the failure of the eastern fruit crops. The Maryland and Delaware peach crop, which is the heaviest com petitor we have for our California prod duct, is reckoned at less than one-sixth of an average yield. Tho heavy rains ' have caused a dropping of fruit in the ; peach country. The loss is over $2,000,- , 000 to the eastern poach growers.—Po- ! puma (Gal.) Progress. A Comfortable Warm Weafhnr IlreM. "Never heard of a Chinese collapsing from the heat, did you?" asked a West bide doctor as he fanuod himself vigor ously and occasionally tugged away at his shirt collar. "They may be heathen, but they have more common sense in apparel than all of us good Christiana combined. 1 just passed one of the queued gentry standing at the corner of Madison and Clark at high noon, the Bun pouring upon tho top of his head and the thermometer registering 01 in the shade. He was cool as a cucumber. "He wore no band about his shirt i*nd no collar to shirt or blouse. Vest he had none. You and I have from twenty to twenty-five thicknesses of cloth close about our jugulars and then we say we are Christians. Christians know suicide to be sinful, don't they? Then how dare they choke themselves in blistering weather? And the Chinaman isn't idiot enough to clinch his undergarments to his back with perspiration producing suspenders, nor wear his shirt inside his trousers. He affects cool sandals ami light hats, and iu all shows a superb re gard for his safety. Next to following the example of our first parents in their first estate, tho Chinese plan iu summer Is the most comfortable style of dress upon the face of the earth."—Chicago Mail A Tricycle for Lund or Water. Tho people along Ogden boulevard, near Douglas park, at 9:30 o'clock ono morning stopped and looked with wonder at a slender man who was rid ing a queer machine toward the park. The amazement of those who followed was not diminished when they saw tho man ride into tho park, down the drive to the water and out on the lake. The man was T. J. Olsen, a boot and shoe maker. The machine somewhat resembled a tricycle, but on tho spokes of the drive wheels there were paddles and the little wheel was covered with sheet iron and served as a rudder. Underneath the main axle and about four inches from tho ground two boats six feet in length and eighteen inches beam, about two feet apart, like the hulls of a catama ran, adapted the queer craft to the water. The speed attained was equal to that of a rowboat, and Mr. Qlsen claimed it was more easily propelled.— Chicago News-Record. Too Profitable a Fire. The following is a copy of a letter from a town in New Hampshire received at tho office of the Hartford Fire Insur ance company one day last week: "1 inclose SIOO in this letter, which I want paid to tho Hartford Fire Insurance company of Hartford. I thought I got more insurance than my right." In closed was a SIOO bill of the First Na tional bank of Concord, N. H. Tho writing is identified as similar to two previous communications received by the company, inclosing, respectively, SSO and SIOO, making a total of $250 already received from this one source. It is evident that sorno beneficiary re ceived more than his duo, and is en deavoring to quiet his conscience by re turning in installments the amount overpaid. Several thousand dollars have been received by the Hartford un der similar circumstances.—Hartford Courant. A Petrified CorjiHO. At Hazlewood cemetery, near Monte zuma, la., ono day last week, Charles Block, wishing to remove the remains o£ his wife, who died eight years ago, opened her grave. He found it full of water and was astonished at tho weight of tho coffin. The combined strength of five men finally brought tho coffin out of tho grave, and when opened it was found that the action of the water had turned the body to solid stone, preserv ing its natural appearance to a remark able degree. Even a bouquet of flowers held by tlie-dead woman wus perfoctly petrified. The skin was fair and the hair as black and glossy as in life.-* Chicago Inter Ocean. Glitter In a Cottage* Tho lyiggesfc diamonds in Saratoga do not belong to any of the women who are stopping at tho big hotels. They are tho property of the stout woman who has a cottage on one of tho streets lead ing up from Congress Hall. Anil she wears her gems day and night. She has them on wnen tho sun is shining bright ly and later when the sun has gone down and the stars have come out. Wherever she goes there goeth also tho flash and tho sparkle of the big gems.— Saratoga Letter. .Saved by a I>og' Hark. The noise made by a dog saved several persons from being burned to deatli in a fire which broke out in Brooklyn on a re cent morning. A woman was awak ened by the yelping of a dog and found tho whole place in flames. She roused her husband and children, and inside of live minutes after they were out of the house tho building was a mass of flumes. The Largest American Flu,. The largest American flag ever made will float from tho top of a very lofty "liberty pole" iu front of the Adminis tration building at the World's fair. Upon request the state of Washington will furnish this big flagstaff, as well us two or throe others of the largest that are required by the exposition. Tlie Social Swim In Atcliluon. The young men who attended the lawn party last night took extra collars along. One used six. The thermometer registered nearly 90 at midnight— At chison Globo. A Texou Event.

What is the Electropoise ? and What Will it Do? The Electropoise has been in use for four ycura,nnd is well known in some sections of the United States, but there are a great many sufferers tliat have never hoanl the name, i hose that have heard of it and seen something pi its wonderful power, are curious to know how an instrument so small and so simple can accomplish cures so great. Now, while the Electropoise is very wonderful, it is not at all mysterious. Its operation falls in with what w ' 3 know of science and any one at all familiar with the simplest facts of iliology and Physics understand. .HOW IT OPERATES.— The way in which the Electropoise accomplishes its cures is very simple and natural. It consists of a polarizer. which is connected by a woven wire cord with a small plate and garter. This polarizer is im mersed In cold water, or put on ice. The plate at the other end of the cord is attached to the warm body of the patient, generally at the ankle. From the inherent nature of this polarizer it becomes negatively charged. By the well-known laws of induction, the plate, and with it the body of the patient, becomes positively charged. The body thereby becomes a centre of attraction for negative bodies. Oxygen is the most negative form of matter in nature. Hence the body, bathed in the atmos phere, drinks in the life-giving oxygen at every pore. Every process of life is thereby quickened. The temperature rises; the pulse throbs with a fuller beat; the skin tingles with new life; every organ acts with renewed vigor, and the ctfete poisonous products of the body arc-thrown off with case. That quickened change of matter which oxygen produces throughout the system, is accompanied by a largely increased genesis of nerve Force. Organs half dead and stag nant are born again, and begin to perform their wonted functions. The heart, the lungs, the liver, the organs of the external senses, the organs of reproduction—all these throw oil' their derangement and weakness, and even the disordered intellect is ofttimes reenthroned. w here disease lias not already made too great ravages, restoration to perfect health is in evitable. The Electropoise is generally used at night while the patient is asleep, but may be applied, of course, at any time, ami to several persons during the twenty-four hours. It will last a life-time, never wears out nor loses its strength, never needs mending nor recharging. One in each family will render that family largely independent of doctors ami druggists, ami thus will save every year many times its small cost.
