FREELAND, PA., JULY 13, 1893.
The state board of health has sent
out a circular to prepare the people
for a possible invasion of cholera. A
supervising inspector will be appoint
ed in each county to watch railroads,
especially immigrant trains, to ex
amine tho sanitary condition of the
towns and cities, and the character
and source of water supplies. If a
ease of cholera is discovered tho in
spector will telegraph the board of
health at once and isolate tho patient.
He will see that tho regulations with
regard to quarantine and disinfection
are strictly adhered to While on
duty in the presence of cholera the
inspector will be allowed $5 a day.
David L. Stone, who recently re
tired from the editorship of the New
York Journal of Commerce, after an
editorship of forty-four years, in
speaking of the tariff says: "As for
the tariff question the grand error is
the supposition that the troubles of
American manufacturers spring from
foreign competition. I don't know of
an American manufacturer failing
because of foreign competition. T1 e
difficulty arises from home competi
tion. A protective tarill fosters ex
cossive and ruinous over production.
Therefore the best revenue system
for American interests is free trade
in raw material and a revenue duty
simply large enough to cover all dif
ferences in wages and cost of living."
The pooplo of Creede, Col, have
hit upon a novel solution of tho silver
question. They desire eastern and
western sub-presidents and con
grosses. Hut the Creede idea is not
original. Newspaper reader will ro
call tho old Gorman prophecy, repub
lished in Berlin in 180(1, that Gor
many would have three emporors in
one year; and that America would
have twenty-five presidents;, and after
that four republics. The German
idea recrns to have shrunk 50 per
cent, in tho attenuated atmosphere of
Colorado. In its original proportions
it would still have been faulty in
ignoring the fact that the silver
trouble is not a matter of geographi
oal bounds, but it worldwide.
Creedo's new creed is not apt to win
many converts or disciples.— JS.cc.
Speaker Crisp anticipates a change
in the rules of the house of represen
tatives which will facilitate a vote on
any desired question, but without
curtailment of the right of debate.
Liberty of debate is absolutely essen
tial in a deliberative democratic as
sembly; and as long as the opponents
of a proposed measure of legislation
should confino thomselvos to argu
ment thero could be no valid cause of
complaint. But under tho rules of
procedure in the house iu the fifty
second congress it was in the power
of a small number of the members to
utterly defeat tho object of the
majority by offering motions of a pri
vileged character with no other pur
pose in view than to delay action by
tho house. This is the evil that it is
now proposed to remedy; and the end
should be reached without sacrificing
in the slightest particular the prin
ciple of free speech which is so dear
to the American heart. — Jlecord.
Governor Pattison's veto of the bill
appropriating $20,000 to defray the
expenses of the elections committee
of the late house of representatives
will not offend anybody except the
gentlemen who were members of that
committee. The greater part of that
bill was unquestionably a steal. Tho
members charged thousands of dollars
for railroad fare when they traveled
on passes. They charged hundreds
of dollars for telegrams that were
never sent or received. They charg
ed hundreds of dollars for carriage
hire which, if incurred at all, was for
pleasure. The governor was right in
calling a halt on this species of petty
thieving from tho state treasury.
Some future legislature will doubtless
again pass the bill but it is hoped
that no future Republican governor
will approve any bill that appropriates
more than is justly duo. Pattison
can l>o commended for a fow of his
numerous vetoes. — Scranton lie pub

Lifelike Death.
Tho current number of The Popular
Bcienco Monthly contains a paper timely
to the memorial season, and which will
1)0 received with interest not alone by
veterans, but by men of science. Writing
of tho "Phenomena of Death In Battle,"
Mr. Gcorgo L. Kilmer deals nt length
with tho mooted question, "Do men
sometimes retain in death tho last atti
tudes of life?" Citing the opinions of
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan—Grant in
the negative and Sherman and Sheridan
in the affirmative—tho writer refers to
cases at Belmont, Antietam, Williams
burg and other fields of the civil war re
ported by army surgeons, and also from
j cases in the Crimean and Italian wars,
j Soldiers were found dead from battle
! wounds with various parts of the body
in tho last attitudes of life and held so
by a severe rigidity, the onset of which
seemed to have been simultaneous with
the coining of death.
The conservative view is that death is
in all cases followed by relaxation of
muscles; heneo tho attitude held wlion
the body becomes rigid must be a new
one caused by the contractions of rigid
ity. The surgeons whoso records are
given, however, found tho rigidity and
the warliko attitudes upon bodies still
warm and similar appearances upon
others where death had taken place from
a few hours to 24. 48 and even GO hours
before. Tho cause, tho writer believes,
is "heat stiffening" of the juices of tho
muscles. He finds that in all cases re
ported the circumstances of tho action
favored great bodily heat combined with
excessive muscular action that would
create acid in the muscles and invito
early rigidity. He finds also an analogy
in tho action of lethal currents of elec
tricity, which produce an instantaneous
and firm, although transient, rigidity.
Cases of rigidity in lifelike attitudes
from lightning stroke have been fre
quently reported, but in common with
those found in tho literature of the bat
tlefield, have been attributed to the im
agination of descriptivo writers. The
records of men who stako professional
honor upon tlieir statements contain
cases as startling and as remarkable as
any that have been brought into play to
adorn tales of tho battlefield.
All American Inferno.
A correspondent of The Globe-Demo
crat describes a weird and wonderful
region ho visited in tho northwestern
part of Mexico. On the dividing line
between tho Mexican states of Sonora
and Lower California is a tract 35 miles
long from east to west and 10 to 18 miles
in width from north to south, which the
Indians long sinco poetically named
"Bad Men's Hunting Grounds." It is
probably such a region of miniature vol
canoes as exists nowhere else on this
globe. It contains thousands of volcanic
mounds, ranging in size "from a hen
coop to a housoof moderate dimensions,"
ind not a traco of life, animal or vegeta
ble.
Tho district is 200 miles southwest of
Yuma, A. T., and is reached by following
tho Rio Colorado to tho dry bed of ono
>f its tributaries, thence following this
lry bed to tho volcanic pit. It is really
a basin 200 to 300 feet below sea level,
and why it does not fill up with water,
either salt or fresh, is one of nature's un
explained mysteries. But tho smells of
theso sheol vomiting mounds! In de
scribing them the writer rises to tho
height of tho poetic. There are hot
springs, showers of mud, water and ash
es, puffs of smoke, and such a boiling,
seething and scenting that it makes the
beholder first dizzy, then sick. There is
a lake of some kind of demonish stew
that is as black as ink. The prevailing
smell is that of amixturo of burning sul
phur and blue lick water, added to the
< >dor of a tar roofing pot. Tho writer
makes the statement on his honor as an
honest man that you can smell the lmsin
20 miles away.
At tho basin itself, however, strangely
enough, scores of springs of delicious
sweet water sparkle alongside tho volcan
ic spouting mouths. liome day undoubt
edly this basin will become a famous re
sort for travelers. As to tho effect of its
appearance on a stranger, our poetic cor
respondent says, "After tho feeling of
awe wears off, tho first impression is that
you aro standing 011 tho edgo of hell."
What the impression is beforo tho feel
ing of awe wears off wo aro not told.
With tho advent of tho hot weather
comes the customary epidemic of sui
cides. This year thero have been several
instances in which tho impulse to self
destruction has led its victims to leap
from heights. Why people should be
more ready to kill themselves in summer
than during tlio cold and dreary days of
winter is a mystery to the student of
, mental unbalanceinent. It would bo in
teresting to know if tho proportion of
' suicides in hot countries is larger than
in those lands that aro located in tem
perato climes.

The New Immigration Law.
The immigration law which went into
effect on May 3 imposes no new restric
tions on immigration, but makes two im
portant changes for the better in pros- |
ent regulations. The first is that steam
ship companies shall he required to pre
pare on tho other side of the ocean com
plete descriptivo lists of all emigrants
for delivery to the United States in
spectors on this side npon tho arrival of
the vessel. At present pucli lists aro
inade out by these inspectors after the
arrival of tlio immigrants. The steam
ship companies can make out tho re
quired lists easier than tho inspectors,
who will be materially aided in their in
spection thereby, while the inquiries in
stituted by the steamship companies into
the character of intending emigrants
will tend to prevent the embarkation of
tho prohibited classes. In addition it is
required that the captain and surgeon of
the steamship shall make oath that there
aro no passengers on board excluded
from admission into the United States
and that the facts stated in the list of
immigrants are truo and correct. The
second change in present regulations is
intended to secure a favorable decision
from more than one treasury official
where there is a doubt as to an immi
grant's right to come in.
Tho law was framed by the senate
committee on immigration, of which
Senator Chandler was chairman, and
was intended to be preliminary to a fur
ther and more comprehensive piece of
legislation, designed to completely shut
out undesirable immigration. Its pro
vision for an inspection and certification
by the st eamship companies seems an ad
mirable solution of the vexed problem of
Inspection of immigrants at the port of
departure. Inasmuch as the steamship
companies have been directly responsi
ble for the stimulation of undesirable im
migration, and as they must hear the ex
pense of returning rejected immigrants
it does not appear unreasonable to re
quire that they shall inako sure that nono
of tho inadmissible classes embarks for
this country. It is believed that the new
law will prevent tho departure of immi
grants not entitled to come in. This is a
desirable result, and it is to he hoped the
law will attain it fully.—Detroit Trib
une.
Labor Colonies.
A committee of leading Englishmen
have recently been making investiga
tions into the labor colony question in
England and on the continent of Europe,
the result of their researches being tho
conclusion that the continental method
<>f carrying 011 these philanthropic works
is one which is not likely to have general
application. For instance, there is a
farm colony at Rickling in Schleswig-
Ilolstein which is said to be a decided
success, hut at this place the applicant
for work is first compelled to declare
that he is unable to find employment
elsewhere, and that ho wishes to ho ad
mitted to the Rickling colony on tho
ground that ho is willing to receive only
ills subsistence and shelter, and any
thing allowed beyond this will ho con
sidered an act of kindness. In case ho
gives tho inspector cause for dissatisfac
tion in any way he may not only ho dis
missed at once, but will forfeit any re
ward promised him for industrious work.
Tho clothes 110 has on when entering
aro taken from him, and he is given
fresh clothes on loan, the inspector
destroying the clothes of the applicant
if he thinks them valueless, although
theso are tho only ones in which the in
mate can clothe himself if 110 wishes to
leave. During the first fortnight 110 re
ceives food and shelter only. For tho
following four weeks, if ho is thought to
deserve it, ho is given a voluntary allow
ance of 5 cents per working Hay, this to
bo increased to 8 cents per day, provided
his work proves satisfactory. This, how
ever, applies to the from May 1
to Sept. 1. But such allowances aro en
tirely voluntary and may he withdrawn
at any time.
The service in which the labor of tho
inmates is turned is largely that of re
claiming land, which seems to bo a duty
that can best bo undertaken by colonies
of this character when it is thought un
desirable to enter into competition with
ordinary labor. But the conditions un
der which sorvico is carried on are so
straitened that it is looked upon as
doubtful whether the system can bo sat
isfactorily adopted in England.—Boston
Herald.
Tho Convict Labor Problem.
One of tho grout problems of penology
is to find work for convicts to do which
shall not infringe the natural rights of
free and honest labor. It is agreed that
it is un wiso as well as dangerous to allow
convicts to remain wholly idle, and yet
when an attempt is made to supply them
with something to do an outcry arises
from tho free labor which finds itself
forced into a competition whicli it cannot
resist and compelled to see its wages
scaled down or remain idle.
For this state of things tho convict
lease system is much to blame. The con
tractor secures convict labor at a price
which enables him to underbid free la
bor, not only because his lease is low,
I but becauso he can reduce the subsist
( ence of his convicts, over whom his
power is absolute, to the very lowest
j limit. It may not bo possible to avoid
j entirely the competition of convict labor
I with free labor, but every state might so
regulate matters as to maintain the
standard of wages, and thus prevent
convict labor from making free labor [
unprofitable if not impossible. Abovo
all, the leaso system in vogue in the
south should be abolished, for it is more j
onerous and cruel than negro slavery
ever was.—San Francisco Chronicle.

PROFIT CHARING.
The I'reslclent of the Nelson Manufacturing
Coin puny Still Very Kiithuslastic.
Headers who have kept a close watch
ui>on iiulustriul matters during the past
five years know something about the j
Nelson Manufacturing company of St. j
Louis and Kdwardsville, Ills. Newspaper j
writers have fallen into the error of
speaking of tho plan adopted by the Nel- j
son as co-operation. It is not co-opera
tion in tho sense that the term is used by |
economists, for the workers do not stand j
upon an equality in the direction of af
fairs, and the capital employed is not |
owned jointly by all the workers. The j
Nelson Manufacturing company is tho
property of a few stockholders, and the ,
laborers are simply employees working [
for stipulated wages.
However, from all reports tho company [
is exceedingly fair in the treatment of its 1
employees, and the profit sharing system .
under which it operates is of great bene
fit to the workmen as well as to the
stockholders. In a recent interview N. |
O. Nelson, who is president of tho com
pany, Baid that during a visit to England
about seven years ago ho became imbued
with tho idea that the settlement of tho
differences between employer and em
ployee lay in the direction of profit shar
ing. On his return to St. Louis he ar
ranged to have his theories carried into
practice.
"At our works near Edwardsville,
Ills.," ho said, "there aro about 450 men
employed, and at the end of every quarter
each one of them, from the manager down
to tho smallest apprentice, gets his share
of the profits. This averages 8 per cent
on the wages per annum ever since we
put the system into force.
"Lilliane is in every respect a model
village. We bought 125 acres of ground,
erected substantial buildings for our fac
tories and laid off the town, not with
sqnaro blocks, but on the park idea,
with winding roads and grassy lawns.
In our village we have a co-operative
store where the men and their families
trade. They pay tho current retail
prico for everything purchased, but at
tho end of every threo months tho books
aro balanced, and the profits thus shown
are divided among the purchasers in
proportion to tho amounts they have
paid in. These dividends amount to from
13 to 15 per cent a year and are so many
dollars saved to tho men who work.
Besides this we have a hall where school
and church aro held and a free kinder
garten is maintained during several
months of tho year. We have freo baths,
electric lights, modern waterworks and
a circulating library. During the win
ter there is a course of lectures delivered
for the men, and some of the best lec
turers of tho country aro engaged. Last
winter we had Edward Everett Hale
and men of his class.
"To employees who desire homes we
sell them one-third of an acre of ground
at $2 a front foot and erect a cottago for
them at cost. This is all paid for in in
stallments, tho sum not amounting to
nioro each month than the rent of a cot
tage in a city.
"Ours is essentially a corporation col
ony and tho only ono of its kind this
side of the Atlantic. It makes, I think,
a superior class of workingmcn, and that
it encourages men to apply themselves
was shown when wo reduced the work
ing hours from 10 to 0 hours without a
reduction of wages and without any do
crease in tho amount of material turned
out."
Weekly Payment i In New York.
A New York daily paper's Albany cor
respondent says in a recent communica
tion that the state officials are "very
much interested just now in the welfare
of the workingman." The stato officials,
especially Factory Inspector James Con
nelly, have started in to rigidly enforce
the weekly payment law. The officials
will make strenuous efforts to aid tho
condition of tho great working masses in
tho metropolis, and the deputy inspectors
in New York will in a few days receive
instructions to make a prompt and thor
ough investigation.
They will be instructed to visit the
largo factories, stores, offices and cor
poration buildings and make a searching
investigation. Whatever companies aro
found ovading tho weekly payment law
will tie notified that they must comply
with its requirements. If they still con
tinue to disobey tho law, prompt meas
ures will bo taken by tho stato to bring
them to terms. The attorney general
has promised his assistance in enforcing
the strict letter of tho law.
This weekly payment law went into ef
fect in this state on July 1, 181)0, and its
requirements are that every corporation
shall pay weekly each employee engaged
in its business, and that tho penalty for
every violation thereof is a fine of not
less than $lO nor more than SSO. Tho
factory inspector of this stato is charged
with tho enforcement of this law and is
authorized to bring actions in tho namo
of the people against any corporation
neglecting to comply with tho law.
The Arena Clubs.
Hamlin Garland, tho well known so
cial re former and writer upon economic
topics, is very enthusiastic over tho or
ganization of educational societies known
as Arena clubs. He is one of tho princi
pal advocates of the idcu and devotes
considerable time to the formation of tho
clubs. In a recent interview reported
by Mrs. Eva McDonald Valesh, labor
editor of tho Minneapolis Tribune, Mr.
Garland said:
The really progressive man or woman
in any ono line of work is always inter
ested in other lines and inclinoil to think
liberally along all of them. Of course
tho complexity of modern society makes
people specialists. That is the only way
they can accomplish anything definite.
But the specialist is apt to become nar
row unless ho occasionally joins hands
with other reformers. Our Arena clubs
will organize the reform forces instead
nf leaving them to waste their efforts by
Individual and spasmodic action. Wo
: will havo an educational organization
reaching from ono boundary of tho coun
ry to tho other as elastic and liberal us
' fire most enthusiastic could desire.
THE LUCKY COTN.
"Gomez."
"Well, Pedro, my boy."
"One question—where did you get your
money}'"
Gomez had been nl>out as poor as poor
could be. True, lie had a profession—that of
a journalist—but in Spain the gains of tho
fraternity of pen workers are anything but
large, and what he did earn unfortunately
—being a rabid gambler—went to the dogs.
Then, ono morning, from being a hand to
mouth quill driver, he suddenly blossomed
forth as a moneyed grandee. Fine horses
were his, the entree to the most fashionable
and expensive clubs also his, as well as the
best cook in Madrid and the most luxuri
ously appointed town and country houses
purchasable for money
"Listen," said he. "Two years ago,"
continued he, lighting a fresh cigar, "I was
a very poor man, as I do not need to remind
you. You and all tho rest of my friends
know, too, that I had a wild passion for
gaming. 'Poor Bonilla!' you would always
chorus when speaking of me, 'lie has tho
worst of vices—he is a gambler!' You were
wrong nevertheless. I played, but I did
uot play for love of it. I played because I
was poor. 1 was a speculator. 1 was not a
gambler.
"In a word, I had fixed upon a certain
sum that I considered would be a comfort
able competency. There was no was or
chance of acquiring it in my profession.
There was in the green cloth, llow assidu
ously I devoted myself to that chance you
know."
He smiled a little at the expressive nod
that involuntarily escaped me, gazed a mo
ment at the smoke wreaths curling over
his head and went on:
"One uiglit I was feeling particularly de
pressed. I never drank, you remember
that is, never to excess, and certainly never
for the purpose of what is termed drowning
sorrow—the gamingtable was my resource.
"Unfortunately for me I had in my pos
session 011 that night a considerable sum of
money intrusted to me by a frieui suddenly
called from the city, for the paying of some
debts. I entered the gambling ball and
took my seat at the roulette table. Luck
was against me. The scant pile of douros
that belonged to me one by ono melted
away in the banker's pocket. Hut the fever
was on me. I was as one possessed, and I
did what I never should have believed my
self capable of doing—l staked my friend's
money. I staked it, and I lost it all!"
I was going to cry out. Bonilla stopped
me.
"No," ho interrupted, "do not condemn
me. You could say to mo nothing harsher
than'my own self reproaches. Like a man
turned to stone I sat there in my chair
dumb, torpid, glaring with fevered eyeballs
at the other players, my brain as the ivory
ball spun round whirling and spinning
with it. My senses seemed leaving me.
My life was no Monger dear to mo. Penni
less, dishonored, what was there left for
me to live for?
"In thoughts like these and with burn
ing self reproaches the night wore on. One
by one the players dropped off—the tables
were gradually deserted. Soon there was
but ono left lighted—the roulette table at
which I sat niul whereon a persevering
gambler was still trying his luck.
"Finally ho, too, grew tired, and I was
alone with tho banker, who was also the
keeper of the guuibling hell."
"Jose Ilerrarra, you mean," cried I, "who
disappeared so mysteriously two years
ago?"
"Exactly, Jose Herrurra," Bonilla re
turned quietly, continuing bis story. "He
looked at mo inquiringly. I shook my
head slightly and half rose to depart, in
wardly determined to blow out my brains
as soon as I reached tho street. That I did
not do it is owing to the strangest chances
of all—so strange that when I tell you you
will no longer wonder that I am still un
able to decide whether the agency at work
at that moment was supernatural or other
wise.
"I half rose, I say, to go out, and as I did
so I saw on the floor a round, bright object
that had a silvery shimmer as the gaslight
fell upon it. It was a coin, a silver"
"Peseta?" interrupted I breathlessly be
fore Gomez could finish.
"Yes," said he, "a little silver coin, only
a peseta, but it saved my life. Quick as
thought I placed my foot upon it, motioned
to the banker and called aloud:
" 'A peseta on 17!'
"Tho banker knew inc well—he had rea
son to know mo—and without a question or
hesitation he called after me my wager and
set the ball rolling. It stopped on—l7.
" 'Seventeen wins,' said he, and on 11
clinked and shimmered seven round silver
douros.
"'You Icftvo them there? YQU stake
again?' demanded the banker anew.
"I nodded my head. Again the ball spun
and again came to a stop on—l7.
" 'Seventeen wins,' the banker called once
more.
"Once, twice, thrice—seven separate and
consecutive times I left tho glittering pile
on 17, and seven separate and consecutive
times the ball spun round and 17 won.
"When I stopped at last, it was not be
cause I was afraid to longer risk fortune on
17, but because I had broken the bank. The
poor, poverty stricken, dishonored journal
ist, who had contemplated suicide only a
brief half hour ago, was now a wealthy
man."
"But the peseta, the lucky peseta," said
I, "of course, Gomez, you have it still?"
"No," Gomez replied, with a singulur
smile.
"Eh?" cried I, amazed. "Why, had 1
been you, nothing in the world would havo
made me part with it."
"No," replied he again with tho samo pe
culiar 6mile. "You would have parted
with it, for you could not have kept it."
"Why not, pray?"
"Because when I stooped to pick up tho
coin nothing was there."
"Nothing there?"
"Nothing! That which I 1 ad taken for a
peseta was not a coin. The round little
shimmering object upon which the gaslight
had flashed was only—a drop of water!"—

The Masters In America.
Max O'Rell has pointed out that America
/s the only country where the man who is
paid is tho master. One feels this every
where. The attitude of the clerk behind
| tho counter, of the waiter of the hotel, of
' tho conductor in the car, of the official who
l hands one the letters at the postoflice, too
| frequently varies between injured dignity,
; offensive patronage and what to the Brit
! isb mind amounts to downright rudeness.
| I have seen a lady poked by a conductor in
; tho back without a word of explanation.
1 The man simply required lier ticket, and it
! was too much trouble for him to ask for it.
Mr. Hamilton Aide complained last year
j that, an American waiter once removed Mr.
Aide's hut from his head and put it on a
s peg without uttering a word. This has
never happened to me, but I have hud a

I ribbon and the hat by a railway guard.—
