FREELAND, PA., JUNE 29, 1893. ] If John G. Carlisle continues to grow in public favor and esteem dur ing the next few year's as he has in the past few months he will be the next president. The people like men with a good stiff backbone and the secretary is built upon that style. He can't be bullied nor bluffed from doing his duty, as he has plainly shown in his attitude upon the silver question. A bit of timely advice is given by the New York Times, which notes that the Fourth of July is approach ing with its accompaniments of fire crackers, toy pistols and other deadly weapons, and says it may be well for the careful mother to recall the fact that the little cotton frocks of her daughter may be mude fire-proof by adding au ounce of alum to the last rinsing water. Proper protection of the little tots on Independence Day is of the first importance, and the ex periment is well worth a trial. An advocate of Hawaiian annexa tion says that "Hawaii looks to this country as the hope of her future and the arbi'er of her destiny." She will look in vain, is tho opinion of the New York World. This country is not in the business of providing for the future or arbitrating the destiny of distant islands of tho sea having a mongrel population, contract labor, tho curse of leprosy and monarchical traditions and education. Wo havo problems enough and trouble enough at home without annexing any. With the Sunday closing snag out of the way, the Columbian exposition at once moves on at a rapid rato. Public confidence in the management has been fairly won, and it is the manifest disposition of tho people to make tho fair as notably successful from a financial point of view as it has been in other regards. The childish and trival threats of boycot ting tho fair because of the Sunday opening decision, which have been in dulged in by a few zealous sectarians, are tho mere froth and efi'ervesauco of disappointment, and will speedily be forgotten. It now rests with the trunk lino railway companies to con firm the bright prospects of tho fair by establishing liberal excursion rates to Chicago. Fan tan is truly a hideous, iniquity, fouling the fair fame of our Christian land in tho tail end of this mosi blessed of all the centuries. None but a predestined reprobate heathen could fall so low as to gamble with buttons for a five-cent stake. The innate virtue of our nation cries out for the suppression of depravity so awful by prosecutions for felony as a mild means, but we must not stop short of persecution and extermina tion if need be. How pure and reraphic by contrast appear our own innocent delight characteristic of our high Christian civilization; to wit, horse-race betting, stock exchange gambling, monopoly competition, bank wrecking, prize fighting, and pistol fun.— Press. There are yet in the north and Bouth some newspapers which dili ■ gently seek to fan the embers of sec tional strife and to renew the bitter ness which preceded the collision of armed forces. Luckily, the seeds of mischief scattered abroad by such publications mainly fall upon barren ground. There are but few men so ignorant, and still fewer so unpatri otic or degraded, as to willingly lend their aid to a renewal of fraternal strife. The writers engaged in stir ing up the buried animosities of tho past are mainly disappointed men who have failed to impress the public with any adequate notion of their own personal greatness. No personage of importance among the soldiers who wore the blue or the gray has soiled tho record of his soldiership by scold ing after he had done shooting. Tho new generation of men who have sprung up since the war can have no interest in tho renewal of sectional feeling. They ought to frown down the belligerent newspaper scribblors. Let us have peace.— Record. COUGHING LEADS TO CONSUMPTION, ffemji't balsam stops the cough at once. A Cry For Freedom. Xti her sermon at tlio meeting of the world's congress of representative wom en at Chicago Rev. Annie Shaw said: "All the women who have spoken at these meetings have voiced the one cry— to bo free." Very good. But it must bo admitted that they are getting their freedom about as fast as reasonable beings could expect. Surely the pre cept that St. Paul laid upon them is not now regarded as an imuiutablo principle. At the meeting referred to 18 pulpit women sat on one platform. Among them were Kovs. Mrs. Tupper Wilkes and Mrs. Mary Safford, Unitarians; Mrs. Florence Kollock, Universalist; Miss Annie 11. Shaw of the Methodist church at large; Miss Caroline J. Bartlett, pre siding minister of the meeting, also a Unitarian minister; Mrs. Mary Moreland and Miss Jeannette Olmstead, Congro gationalists; the colored evangelist, Mrs. Amanda Smith, who a short timo ago re turned from missionary work in Africa; the Rev. N. Alanine Brighman of tho Seventh Day Baptists; Mrs. Jane S. Richards, Sarah N. Kimball, Isabella Horn and Elmira S. Taylor of the Latter Day Saints. No better evidence than this is needed to show that the sex has got a pretty good range of the religious world. That they have an equally clear range of tho moral and social world goes without say i ing. As for tho civil and political realm, j the reason why they have not occupied ! it with tho men is chiefly because a miv -1 jority of thorn does not wish to do so. J Concerning the business world, there j is nothing to restrain the free exercise of I their powers in it. They already do any | thing in the industries which their health and strength will permit. True, they l have never cut much of a figure in the fine arts and sciences, but this can bo due to no restraining influences at present, j even were it so in days gone by. j The women? God bless'em I They may J have the earth if they want it. But i looking at the question squarely, Rev. j Annie Shaw's cry for freedom is just j a bit like taking coals to Newcastle. Easy Writing. Another so called "true story" of the | conception of Buchanan Read's famous | poem, "Sheridan's Ride," is told since I the death of James E. Murdoch. It is evidently founded upon more or less of fact. Murdoch had engaged to recite something at the great sanitary fair in Cincinnati, and the day before he met his friend Read at the Burnett House. Standing at tho newsstand, they saw a picture of Sheridan's dashing ride to Winchester in one of the illustrated pa pers. Presently Read said, "Jim, do you think you will liavo time to learn some thing new to recite at the fair?" Murdoch promised to try, and Read ordered a pot of tea sent to his room, and over it he wrote tho stirring poem now so familiar to millions and found in so many school readers, beginning: "Up at tho south at break of day, Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay." He submitted it to Murdoch in a few hours, and tho latter read it tho next night as he only could read it. When he had recited the first stanza, the vast au dienco remained silent, but at tho next thero was a whirlwind of applause that settled tho question of its popularity in a popular assemblage. Bead might have written the poem in a few hours, as stated, but it was doubt less done with tho same limitations that nearly always accompany similarly re ported feats of rapid composition. That is to say, it was well outlined in his mind before ho saw Mr. Murdoch. Some ono called upon Eugene Field one day and said ho heard that he was a poet. "Yes," said Mr. Field, "I some times write verses. And, by tho way, I am just about to writo one now. Would you like to seo me?" The man thought ho would, so Mr. Field immediately dashed off a poem that ho had been months preparing and knew by heart. He then sent it to tho composing room as if it were a common occurrence, and his visitor left profoundly impressed with the easo of writing poetry. Clean Up. Summer is hero. Now clean up. Do not delay another day. Begin with tho cellar. See that thero is no decaying vegetation in it and that it is well ven tilated. Coat tho walls with whitewash and cast out the cobwebs from the cor nel's. Rugs are cheaper, cleaner, healthier and more easily aired than carpets. Air the closets and pack away the winter clothesi you will not need them ngain this season. Keep the garret windows open tho season through. Burn up the kitchen scraps if they ore not fed to animals. Beware of those in struments of death, foul sowers. Tho hot season is one of rapid growth, ma turity and decay in the vegetable king coin. Attention to theso facts may savo you ill health or premature death. Verbum sap. Marion Crawford, Henry James, Bret Ilarto, Mrs. Burnett, Mark Twain, Blanche Willis Howard, Constance Fen iinore Wcolson, Moncure D. Conway and Poultnoy Bigelow aro among tho Ameri can authors who are ,moro or less perma nently established abroad. Thero is no accounting for taste. Tho people are always anxious to en joy good government, but they are often unwilling to try to earn it. You may pronounce tho infanta's name A-yu-lah-loe-ah for short WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C., June 27. If there are any persons who believe tho silly stories now going the round of the Republican press, charging that President Cleveland and the other Democratic leaders have abandoned all idea of making any radical changes in the tariff at the coming session of con gress, they would better begin to prepare themselves for a great disappointment. There has been no change in the pro gramme mapped out by the Democratic leaders before Mr. Cleveland was inau gurated, except that caused by the finan cial stringency throughout the country, which has given financial reform the first place on the programmo, but has by no means displaced tariff reform. Ever since President Cleveland's election he has been discussing these two reforms with every man he met who might be supposed to haye practical and valuable opinions upon either, and he has lost no opportunity to obtain suggestions from those whose practical experience or spe cial studies have made them tariff ex perts. A perfect tariff bill has never been prepared and probably never will be, but unless present indications are all wrong the tariff bill to be prepared this winter will be nearer perfection, from the standpoint of the Chicago platform, than any of its predecessors, and that it will be a radical change from the Mc- Kinley law is as certain as that congress will meet. Tariff reform and financial reform are to be the first born children of the fifty-third congress, the first for more than thirty years to he Democratic in both branches w bile a Democrat was president. President Cleveland has not and will not attempt to say what the details of the bill for the repeal of the Sherman silver law shall be. Ho is satisfied that the law is a very bad onq and also that congress will promptly repeal it at the extra session. He is also satisfied that it is perfectly safe to leave it to the wis dom of congress as to how this shall be done and what other financial legislation shall be adopted in order to undo the bad effect of the Sherman law. In con versation with a friend last week he stated his belief that the partial polling of the members of the house and senate by newspapers furnished no reliable basis to estimate what the vote on the question of repealing this law would be, owing to the large number of senators and representatives who have not de clared how they will vote. Ever since Secretary Carlisle took charge of the treasury department he hns been quietly working to put a stop to the wholesale smuggling of Chinese and opium byway of l'uget sound. Itoports from two trusted men sent to investigate soon convinced him that a number of the government officials whose duty it was to prevent such smuggling were in league with the smugglers. He removed a number of these men and appointed theirsuccessors, but did not make either the removals or the appointments public until this week, because of his desire to-secure the necessary evidence to criminally prose cute the crooked ex-officials. Large fortunes are said to have been made by the smugglers in the last ten years, but Mr. Carlisle intends to see that no more are made while he remains in office. Not a few Republicans, among them some congressmen, have openly com mended Judge Loch ren for his vigorous efforts towards carrying out President Cleveland's idea of making the pension roll a roll of honor, and the number is bound to increase as the good effect of the new methods become more apparent. The most audacious Republican congress man will hardly dare to go on record as criticizing the present administration for dropping men from the pension rolls whose names have no right, either in law or equity, to be there, and it is only that kind who are being dropped. As was expected, Col. Ainswortb, the contractor, the superintendent, and the engineer have been pronounced guilty of criminal negligence by the coroner's jury for having failed to take necessnry precautions to prevent the accident which killed twenty-three men and wounded a number of others in Ford's old theatre. They all gave bail to await the action of the grand jury. An army court of inquiry will, as soon'as the grand jury acts, begin taking evidence upon which it will.decide whether^Col."Ains wortb shall be court-martialed or exon erated. He can only be deprived of his rank in the army by a court-martial. Mrs. Cleveland and Baby Ruth have gone to Gray Gables, on Buzzard Bay, Ruth's birthplace, while the president remains here, notwithstanding the danc ing among the nineties of the thermo meter, tip to his eyes in work so impor tant that he cannot leave it. He hopeß to get things in such shape that he can join the family in about a week and re main with them long enough to assist in welcoming the expected guest. S.

Tho last of the 17 days set apart lty tin* World's fair management for "tlio parliament of religions" is monthly whole world soul communion day and the sixth anniversary of its institution, Sept. 27. Tho first whole world observance was on the 27th of September, 1880, when "there was silonco in heaven for tho tpaeo of one-half hour," when a greater or less number of tho worshipers of all tho great religious faiths of tho world united for 00 minutes (timo at all points corresponding with tho half hour inter vening at Salem, Or., botween 12 morid lan and 12:30 past meridian) in invoking universal peace and new and higher in flowings of spiritual light. Of courso the World's fair manage ment did not know in sotting apart tho 17 days between and including Monday tho 11th and Sept. 27 that "the parlia ment of religions" would terminate its session on the anniversary of this tho most universal religious movement ever instituted among men, but such is the fact, and being so it is eminently proper that tlio brief universal prayer season of half an hour should on that day be ac corded to soul communionists and all who will unite with them in invoking with unific soul impulses "peace on earth and good will among men." Soul com munionists will ask no moro of tho fair management, as they aro silent workers. Tho timo of observance in Cliicago will be from 2:20 to 2:50 p. m., when thero and then will be gathered worshipers from all tho shrines of earth, and some of all of whom will have boon divinized by continuous previous observances in the most interior spirit of tho movement This is "tho universal prayer gauge," which a distinguished English scientist some years ago called for, and its proofs of the efficacy of unity of thought and aspiration for tho common good liavo been wonderful and will be moro won derful.—ll. N. Maguire in New York Sun. Only lliuh Officers Need Apply. It is somowliat hard to find suitablo of ficers of tho army and navy to occupy tho places of military and naval attaches to the Ignited States legations in foreign countries. To satisfactorily fulfill the duties of these posts plenty of money is an essential requisite. A man attached in such a capacity to tho embassy at Paris or at London needs a private for tuno to keep up with tho social require ments of tho situation. Ho must move in the most richly gilded swim and must meet all sorts of unusual expenses. It is expected of him that he shall live like a gentleman of rank and wealth, because the attaches at tho legations of other na tions aro rich and noble. . A clear understanding of theso facts would lessen the number of applications for these places which are sent in by young officers to the departments of war and navy at Washington. They desire the appointments for tho sake of the agroeableness of tho duties and tho so cial prestige belonging to them, not real izing that they could not keep up appear ances decently on their jiay alone. — Washington Star. The Promise to Obey. The promise to obey ought no longer to bo either asked or given. Men as well as women ure learning to regard it as a relic of barbarism. Ono young man of my acquaintance acted as "best man" to a friend who was married by tho Epis copal service. Ho was scandalized by tho bride's promise to obey and wrote to his own sweetheart a letter of in dignation and dismay. Ho said he hoped it was not customary with other denominations to use a similar form, for he should disliko exceedingly to have her promise to obey him. She answered that he need give himself no uneasi ness; Bhe had not tho smallest intention of promising anything of tho sort. They have been married 10 years and are a very happy couple. Methodist ministers are now forbidden to exact the promise to obey, and it is fast going out of uso in all denomina tions that are not tied to a fixed ritual.— Boston Woman's Journal. Tlie Largest Block of Coal. An enormous cob of cannel coal was recently raised from tho Abrain col lieries, Wigan, and sent by train to tho Alexandra dock, Liverpool, for shipment to Boston. It is said to bo tho largest block of coal ever dug from the earth and weighs over 12 tons. It took nine months to hew it out of tho Beam. It is said that tho cost of obtaining it was £I,OOO, or about £B3 per ten. When raised, tho cob was inclosed in a case of planks, the weight of cob and case being 18 tons 11 hundredweight. From Boston tho coal will be conveyed by train to Chicago for tho World's fair. There havo also just been shipped from Liver pool several large blocks of salt rock from the Cheshire salt district. Romeof them aro skillfully carved into figures.—Lon don Tit-Bits. The Telegraph In China.

Messages can now be sent to ; all parts of the world from any telegraph station in China. Since the negotiation of this conven tion. the cable companies havo added 15 per cent to their churges, but messages can be sent on the Chinese lines at the previous rate of $2 per word, tho cost of transmission across tho Atlantic being added. Ho Chose tho Gold Cure. Tho city authorities at Lemars, la., havo begun the enforcement of a novel ponalty for drunkenness. The city coun cil passed an ordinance which required that any person arrested twice for drunk onness havo his choice between reforina tion and hard labor. Ho must mnko up his mind to take either a courso of treat ment at a bichloride of gold institute or work on tho streets of tho city for 10 days witli u ball and chain. Tho ordi nance is now in force, but so far only ono man has been twice arrested. He chose the gold cure. BILLY GREGG. Reginald Bnbbington Tompkins lives down Crystal palace way in tho groat me tropolis of London. There is no harm in that, for many good and estimable people live within sight of the great glass house— the proximity of which seems to make them chary about throwing stones. Consequent ly Tompkins was loth to tell Billy Gregg just what he thought of hiin. Billy looked upon the wine when it was led (in a Burgundy bottle) and white (in a bottle of champagne). The color did not matter to Billy so long as the wine was sound and old. Youth and age never get along so hilariously as when the young man about town and old wine from the cel lar meet. So tho wicked Billy Gregg went on his way rejoicing, aided by the lampposts aud cautioned by the police, until one night a new world burst upon him. The liew world was peopled principally by animated nature —monkeys and baboons such as nev er were harbored by the Zoo; but the chief inhabitants, besides Billy himself, were snakes. When Billy emerged from this zoological horror, he determined to reform. He re solved to proceed with caution. He did not go so far as to abjure liquor altogether —he felt that was asking too much of his system—but he resolved to drink method ically, and he began to drink secretly, which is a dangerous thing for a man. Tompkins called upon liim in his cham bers one day and saw at a glance how things were going. So he invited Billy to come down and visit him from Saturday to Monday in the virtuous precincts of tho Crystal palace. Tompkins was wise and said nothing of reform to Gregg, but ho prepared a little surprise for him. Billy said that his ricrves had somehow gone wrong, and that lie would bo glad of a day or two of quiet with the grateful aud comforting sight of tho Crystal palace be fore his eyes. Now, it happens that in the grounds of the Crystal palace and in an unfrequented part of them, for tho crowd as a general thing haunts the immediate vicinity of the huge buildiug itself, there is a lake with numerous islands and a quiet shady walk uround its borders. This lake is situated in a wooded dell in tho low grounds as far as possible from the big building. It is a quiet spot of soothing natural beauty, but art has added a peculiar horror to it. On the islands, and by tho margin of the lake, and here and there in the water have been placed huge reproductions in some waterproof material of tho antediluvian animals which scientists, doubtless suffer ing from the strong drinks of former days, have imagined the earth to have been pop ulated with. No sane man believes that such creatures ever existed on any planet called into being by an all wise Providence. The punishment fits the crime, and the names aro as horrible as the animals them selves. Thero is the anoplotherium, the iguanadon, the palaeotherium and other uncanny appellations.. Long, giraffelike necks project up into the air from great blonted bodies. Winged sell serpents stand erect in tho water. Huge elephantlike creatures, with bodies like bal loons and ears like wings of satan, clamber up over the islands. Ghastly nightmares meet one at turn along the walk that fringes the margin of the lake. A ghost haunted graveyard at midnight is a cheer ful, enlivening spot compared with that lake at any time in the 34 hours. On Saturday afternoon Tompkins warm ly welcomed his friend Gregg and took him down the shady paths that led to the margin of the lake. Gregg did not care much for country walks. They were not in his line, but be accompanied his friend uncomplainingly. "What I like about this," said Tomp kins, "is the refreshing quiet and rest. Five days out of the six in these parts of tho grounds you meet nobody; nothing meets the eye but tho sylvan"— Gregg nervously clutched his arm. "For mercy's sake," he cried, "what's that?" "What's what?" asked Tompkins, look tng calmly at his friend. "What is that coming out of tlio water?" Tompkins gazed serenely around, and looked at his friend with a certain surprise upon his brow. "I see nothing," ho said. "What was it? A rat perhaps." "No,' no," gasped Gregg, drawing his hand across his eyes. "It was not a rat. It was nothing. My imagination perhaps." "Your nerves are overstrained," said the innocent Tompkins. "You have been working too hard." "That's it; that's it," assented Gregg, with a tremor in his voice. "Well, as I was saying," continued Tompkins, "the sylvan beauty of this spot makes it a favorite ramble of mine, espe cially in the evening. It has a soothing and calming effect, especially after a man has put in a hard day's work. A restful scene like this, the smooth water in the evening light, the twitter of the birds, the sight of some gentle hare or pretty squirrel on the" Billy Gregg suddenly put his hands on the shoulders of his friend, and his body swayed to and fro. "For heaven's sake," he cried, "look at that island aud tell me what you see. What is that creature with a body liko Somerset House and ears like Battersea park, climb ing up out of the water? You don't mean to tell me there is nothing there?" Tompkins looked at his friend with well assumed amazement on his face. "Gregg," he said, "there is something the matter with you. You tfre not in the usual state of health. Does not your own good sense show you that there can be no such animal as you describe?" "I know it, I know it. Tompkins," ho cried suddenly, clinging to his friend, "I have lied to you. I admit it. I've had 'cm before, but never in this shape. Tompkins, I have been drinking too much. Take me home with you and write out a cast iron pledge, and I'll sign it 10 times. Call in all your friends to witness it, but for God's sake let us get out of this quiet, peaceful, sylvan retreat." Gregg's reform has been so combletethat he now lives at Brixton, but he breathes hard when anybody mentions the Crystal palace in his hearing.—Luke Sharp in De troit Free Press. An Enemy of Sewors. The eucalyptus treo is the greatest de stroyer of a sewerage system known to the municipalities. The fibrous roots will pen etrate the smallest possible opening at the pipe connections, and once into the sewer pipe will grow, and expand until the sewer is entirely choked up, and in a number of cities it has been found that the pipes have been broken. The planting of trees of this variety should be discouraged.
