PICKED UP BY THE WAY. THINGS SEEN AND HEARD IN THE TOWN AND VICINITY. Matter** of a Local Nature Commented Upon and l'laced Ilefore the Header** of the 4 Trlbuno" In Large Letter**—Some Paragraph** May Interest Von. The drop in railroad fares to Chicago has awakened interest anew among a number of peo ple in town. Many who nad intended to visit the fair aban doned the idea under the im pression that the railroads would not reduce the rates, but the move of the presidents of the trunk lines last week has set them again figuring up the probable expenses of the trip. The curtailment of privileges 011 the excursion tickets seems to be a large obstacle to some who want to get there as cheaply as they can. yet they would like to stop off at Nia gara Falls and other noted places along the line, which is not permitted by the com panies. Nevertheless, the re duction is quite an inducement to parties of limited resources, and I would advise my friends to buy an excursion ticket, if they can't reach a first-class. Get to Chicago before the show is over by all means. I have been trying to get some information about this suit William Kraut lias enter ed against the police and bor ough, but so far have been only partially successful in it. Nevertheless, it is certain that be feels damaged to the extent of $5,000 and has proceeded to collect the bill through his attorney. Now this poor de luded man is under the impres sion that to go howling through the borough like a wild Indian, as it is alleged he did at nearly midnight on May 21, is the only sure lottery to invest in, where the prizes are big and no blanks are drawn. This get-rich-quick scheme has often been tried and in many in stances with disastrous results, but it seems William and his friends are in it to win. On the night in question when Mr. Kraut went up Centre street the eagle on the P. O. S. of A. building didn't get fright ened, neither did the "cops," because they are not built on the same plain as Snowden's soldiers or the state's heroes— the coal and iron men. On the contrary, they gave William a fair show. When he came down the street again, sending forth his peals of thunder, he was taken under the wing bv a "cop" and after a livelv scrap was landed safely in the com modious quarters which are presided over by Janitor Boyle. If Mr. Kraut can draw a $5,000 prize for this the Montana and Louisiania lotteries are doom ed. There are at times a small contingent comes from the outside towns who feel as Mr. Kraut did, that it is a man's public duty to let the com munity know they have a "jag" on, and then to get angry because things are not run to suit their fancy. It seems as if it was premeditated. They heard of that little place, Bxlo, known as Freeland bor ough, where everything is sup posed to go. They get here onco or twice a month, accord ing to the number of paydays, and are always prepared to slaughter anything with which they may como in contact. The methods of getting along in the mining towns are upper most in their brain. To shout and yell at all hours of night is their hobby and then whip any of the residents who has the audacity to question it. As a rule they begin the evenings "enjoyment" by skir mishing outside of the borough, but invaribly find their way inside the limits about mid night when there is always a possibility to have a scrap with a "cop." Generally from a dimly lighted street a few yells may be heard, then a collision. It wasn't his neigh bor in the mining town he met, but a "cop." The next morn ing Janitor Boyle has a new guest who is glad to escape at any price and go home and tell his friends what a low lifed crowd resides in Free land. I noticed that one of the Hazleton papers used up five or six inclws of it editorial space to inform mo that the phrase "moth-eaten city on props," when applied to Hazle ton, is not orginal. It says I ehould have given crcdU to Lawyer Halsey, of White Haven, who coined it during the anti new county campaign. Well, to tell the truth I didn't know who was the originator or possessor of the expression, but I will take my Hazleton friend's word for it that Mr. Halsey is its author and 1 here by extend to that learned gen tleman my humble apology for using it without credit, and I also tender him my congratu lations for the good judgement and sound sense shown in giving Hazleton that very ap propriate title. "Moth-eaten city on props" is good. A letter from Michael Mul ligan. Jr., of Upper Lehigh, came under my observation a few days ago. Mike is doing duty as one of the Columbian Guards at the World's fair and had a narrow escape from ex termination at the great fire out there last week. It ap pears he was in the thick of the fire from the start, but for tunately was sent with some other guards to procure more hose. While away on this mis sion the danger to the remain ing guards and firemen became apparent and he arrived back at the burning building late enongh to escape the terrible death of so many others but also soon enough to receive a slight scorching and to lose his cap and a shoulder knot off his uniform when the tower fell. The names of all who were on duty at the fire have been placed on file in the Chicago city hall, and visitors from this section can call there and see that the above is true. A more liberal display of signs at the intersection of streets would not be out of place by our borough council men. The use of street names in defining places of business and residences is coming into vogue, more and more every day. yet when strangers and people from the towns about Freeland come hero looking for a certain street they experience a great deal of dfficulty in ob taining the required inform tion. It is true that sign boards are to be seen upon some corners, but these are not enough. Two at least should he visible at every point where one street crosses another. Another matter that was | called to my attention recently ! is the fact that a few of the streets have names that are not at all appropriate to their location. Let us take Front for example. It is situated almost in the centre of the town, and I can find no reasonable excuse for its claim to the name it bears. South street is another of these. It was, years ago, the most southern street of the town and is yet of the borough, but it is a long way now from being what it was when it re ceived the name. These are not very serious things, still it is as easy to have them right as wrong. Sauntkrkk. ECKLEY CLIPPINGS.

How Illun Paper Was Discovered* It was by the purest accident that the simple process of tinting white paper was discovered. It was the result of sheer carelessness in a woman. The wife of an English paper maker named Wil liam East, accidentally dropped the''bluo bag," a small bag full of bluing wltb which she was about to bl uo her washing, Into a vat of pulp, where It lay long enough to give the entire mass a bluish tinge before, to her consternation, she re covered it. So terrified was she at the result of her gross carelessness and its disastrous result that she dared not men tion tho fact to her husband, whose dis may at what he considered the discolors tion and destruction of the entire lot of paper made from tho mass was his worry for months. Ho considered the paper spoiled and an entire loss, but suffered it to remain in an out of the way place as unsalable stock for four years, when, in ordor to get it out of the way and to mako room for bettor Stock, he sent it to his agent in London, asking lilm to get rid of It at any price. To the paper maker's utter surprise, in a short time he received from his agent an order for a great quantity of the bluish paper and found upon in quiry concerning the sanity of the agent that tho bluish paper being a novelty had taken wonderfully with tho public. But East was in a dilemma, for he had no idea as to how to give the blue tinge to tho paper ordered by his agent and wearily tried without result for many days and nights. Mentioning bis trouble to his wife one day she admitted her carelessness and told of tho way in which the pulp hap pened to becomo spoilod by tho bag of bluing. Tho paper maker was overjoyed at the revelation, found it an easy task to give the tlngo to his white paper and until the time of his death, which oc curred many years after, ho was 1 unable to supply tho great demand for blue pa per, so acceptable and relieving to the eye of tho writer.—Boston Herald. Au Old Woman'* Cure For Dy*i>e|i*la. "The most remarkable thing that has ever occurred to mo in my earthly ca reer," said Eugene HcKelsey, "occurred some years ago when I was afflicted with dyspepsia. I had a bad case, I assure you. Oh, I was all broke up. Food was disgusting. I had no appetite, and I just walked around looking for some place to lay down and dia Some time passed, and I grew worse. I saw myself a physical wreck, and try as I might I simply couldnt revive appetite nor am bition.

"I was at the United States hotel in New York several years ago," aid Mr. William L Montague, "and while there formed a very pleasant ac quaintance with the chief clerk. We were chatting one afternoon when a j bellboy came to him and stated tho man In No. 86 was dead. Ho had been ailing I for some time and had probably died of ! what doctors now call heart failure. The hotel was full of guests, and how to re move tho man without arousing their suspicions was a puzzling question. The deceased had 0 sister living on Thirty first street, and it was decided to carry tho body to her homo. A hack was called, and two of the stoutest porters were called upon to dress the body in everyday costume, and with one on each side walk him down stairs as if he was in a maudlin state of intoxication. Ev arything worked to perfection, and in a half hour the dead body had been seated In the hack and driven away, none of the guests being the wiser for what had happened."—St. Louis Republio, Tho Place of Meeting.

"If you wnnt to nee some of the vani ties of life, just pass a week in a photog rapher's gallery," said ono who has grown gray in the art that immortalizes. "That the bulk of our patrons is of tho class of handsome people is a common belief, but not a correct one. "Of course pretty women of a certain class got an enormous number of pictures taken, which they use almost as some people do cards, to give away to every body. But a largo number of orders come from people who are positively homely. Photographers rarely do a pretty face full Justice. Wo cannot flat ter nature without spoiling tho effect entirely, but wo can help out a homely person wonderfully, and tho shrewd pho tographer doesn't neglect to do it in overy possible way. I have seen com monplace looking womon go into ecsta sies over pictures of themselves. "The painter who can use the modifi cations of light and shade in colors has a big advantage over us, but we have pretty well balanced things by touching up photographs in water colors. It's wonderful what exalted ojdnions some women liavo of their personal beauty. I have seen somo of them who have been dealing with mo for a quarter of a cen tury, and they expect that their pictures of today shall show as attractively as those of decades ago."—Now York Com mercial Advertiser. Wordsworth 011 Womon. Wordsworth indulges not infrequently in caustic remarks on women who write, toward whom ho always retained a root ed objection. It is said that after Miss Martineau took up her residence in his neighborhood this abhorrence to author esses sometimes took such activo expres sion that tho deaf lady was frequently obliged to seo what she could not hear and perforce to recognize that her pres ence was unwelcome at Rydal Mount. She herself, however, makes no mention of anything of the kind when alluding to tho WordswortliH and her intercourse with them. On one occasion, after unsparingly condemning a work by Miss Sedgwick, he concludes his criticism thus: "Such productions add to my dislike of literary ladies—indeed make me almost detest the name." And further on again I find the rather sweeping announcement that "blue stockingism is sadly at enmity with true refinement of mind." This last is said in reference to Sara Cole ridge, whom he rather pettishly accuses of monopolizing Mr. Quilliuan's atten tion on ono occasion during tho time of the letter's engagement to his daughter Dora. Perhaps as the remark is made in a letter to Qullliuan himself something in the nature of a tacit reproof may bo Included in it for him also.—Conihill Magazine. What the Growing Generation Wants. There is one great fault with the grow ing generation. The young men want to got rich too fast. With wealth going to waste all around them they cannot find it in their souls to be patient. They aro not content to plod along as their fathers did before thom and slowly lay up a fortune. Thoy must have it now, today, this instant. When they go into an enterprise, they want capital and lots of it. They want to begin on a big scalo and electrify the world. It is not tho ago of saving, but of spending. Speculation is the craze of the hour. Every man wants to make more than ho can earn by the sweat of Ids brow. Ho must double his money in a night and quadruple it tho noxt day. It is an altogether artificial existence. Contentment is not sought nowadays. All that men want is excitement.—Now York Tribune. Trece In French Cities. One of the chief beauties of the larger French cities and second only to their odiflces and monuments aro the trees. Tho almost interminable vistas of chest nuts and acaciaa stretching along tho broad and well paved avenues as far as the eye can reach, their bending branches almost touching one another in an end less arch of verdure, form not only a delightful perspective for tho eye, but serve to add beauty to cities already beautiful and grace and symmetry to whatever might be harsh and forbid ding. This, however, is not the rosult of na ture's handiwork alone, for science and art have lent their aid. Tho planting, as well as tho maintenance of the trees In French cities, is an item of no little importance in the annual budget pre pared by tho municipal council, which does not look upon their preservation as of less consequence than tho repairing of tho roadways or the lighting of the streets.—London Times, A Wont.
