FREELAND, NOVEMBER 30, 1893. PERHAPS THIS CONCERNS YOU. ' The newspaper proprietor labors at a disadvantage in a time of money strin gency as compared with a manufacturer. The latter can shut down his mill, but the newspaper publisher never linds a time when he can shut down his plant and lay off his employes, until he lias to do so for good. The newspaper must be turned out regularly, and the expense continues right on just the same in dull times as when business is booming. Any retrenchment of the reading matter will immediately bring a protest from the subscribers, yet several of these subscribers fail to think of paying their bills unless they are dunned month after month. There are a number now who are in debted to tbe TRIBUNE, and we want to hear from them very soon. We cannot be using space every week with requests to pay up. Subscribers know how much they owe for the paper, if they don't they can find out by referring to the label on the wrapper or on the first page, which gives the date from which they are indebted. We are thankful today that a very large majority of our subscribers are good honest payers and they seem satis fled to believe they receive the worth of their money. To those, however, who can and will not pay, let us say we will try to find away to compel them. If they think the TRIBUNE is not worth three cents a week we want them to come forward, pay up all arrearages and he striken off the list. There is a limit to most everything, and a few of our subscribers have reached their limit with the TRIBUNE. The Lehigh Valley strikers made a great mistake in allowing the com pany to have the first interview with the Philadelphia publishers. They should have sent the grievance com mittee to Messrs. Singerly and Mc- Laughlin, and if the "wad" was of sufficient size the Record and the Timet would be whooping it up fur the men and not for the company. It has just been decided in Indiana, where local laws prohibit tbe pulling down of saloon blinds, that these or dinances aro not reasonable and therefore, illegal. The supreme court holds that the use of blinds, shutters, colored glass and screens in business houses and dwellings is one of the conveniences of civilized life almost as necessary as the houses themselves. Tbo recent election in Colorado re sulted in a victory for woman suffrage by 5,000 majority. This is a result to cause gratitude and inspire hope throughout tbe nation. It indicates the risins tide on this question, and may be taken as an assurance that other states will ere long fall into lino, and that finally the women of America will have their rights in the privilege of voting. A Boston clergyman tells that a short time ago he was anxious to refer to a book called "Seekers After God." Ransacking bookstores and libraries in vain for it, be recalled to mind that a Chicago friend, also a clergyman, had frequently quoted from it so he wrote to him to look about in the Chicago bookstores and buy the book for him as soon as possible. By telegram came the startling reply: "No Seekers After God in Chicago!"— Boston Gazette. Statistics are said to show that young men do not, on the average, at tain full physical maturity until thoy arrive at the age of twenty-eight years. Professor Schiller, of Harvard, asserts, as the results of his observa tions, that young men no not attain the full measure of their mental facul ties before twenty-five years of age. A shrewd observer has said that "most men are boys until they are' thirty, and little boys until they are thirty-five" and this accounts for the standard of manhood, which was fixed at thirty among the ancient Hebrews and other races.

Weeks manifested among a section of New York's aris tocracy is reported to be due to damag ing information possessed by this un happy man, involving- the honor of one of the oldest families in New York. tT h c embezzle ments charged upon him cer tainly merit se rious punish ment, but it has y that of Weeks' victims, so m e have every rea- J son to wish he had never been brought fro m FRANCIS n. WEEKS. Central Ameri ica. There were always delays crop ping up in his extradition, and the name of a well-known family hasbeqjl freely mentioned as conniving at them. Should Weeks conclude to reveal all he knows about transactions in which h young man of fashion, formerly Fifth avenue's afternoon ornament and now n hanger on at European functions, was conspicuous, New York would ex perience almost asocial upheaval. This fact explains why some of the lawyers were strangely reticent in giving out figures, and why Weeks himself does not think he is without some resource, desperate as his present position is. Ucpew's CourtlineKH. If Chauncey M. Depew undertook to answer all the begging letters sent to him by people whom lie never saw or heard of he would be kept busy from morning until night without having half finished, and would be obliged to go out of railroading altogether. lie is continually besieged with callers, and yet remains the most accessible of men. His private secretary, Mr. Harry Duval, is largely responsible for the ease and expedition with which Mr. Depew's callers are disposed of. Duval is quick u and affable, an unusual combi nation of quali- t ties in men who V> have to deal with a large number of their fellow creatures His silent sense of the value of Mr. Depew's time MR. DEPEW AT HIS never takes any DESK. other form than courteous attention in listening to what the railroad mag nate's army of visitors have to say. It is Mr. Duval who deals with the great number of letters that pour in upon the man whom so many Ameri cans want to see president of the Unit ed States. For Mr. Depew's fame is not confined to his own country. Many foreign ers, indeed, think he is a sort of ruler of this republic. Letters from pretty much every country on the globe come to Mr. Depew's office. The writers want the great American's aid in every imaginable sort of scheme. An i army of clerks and typewriters could not keep up with this avalanche of j I matter. Altogether, it is no sinecure to be Chauncey M. Depew's private secreta ry. There is this to bo. said in favor of this famous orator, diplomat, rail roader and scholar: Any person, how ever obscure, who comes to him on a legitimate errand can always secure admission to his presence. (juarrellnc Amid Defeat. The differences between Lieut. Gov. Sheehan and Gov. Flower are hav ing- an effect in New York city. It seems that the candidates on the late unlucky democratic state ticket, excluding Maynard, have been talking J among themselves and reached the j conclusion that they were unfairly dealt with. It was unfair to saddle the besmirched court of appeals candi date upon them. Cord Meyer's theory is that many democrats merely voted a ticket with Maynard's name off it. That is, they would not go to the ■trouble of scratching, but voted any yticket that did not bear the y\ odious name. *3) That ticket was j j >/ of course the 1 HEX 7 republican.Thus i yT jy A it is that May- I nard is accused of pulling iiis y.t tiw party down with y y him. Sheelian is not unwilling to LRETTT. GOV. fiiTFPJTAX. take this view of the matter, bu{ he is incensed that Maynard is charged to his account, lie points out that ilill was responsible for that piece of had generalship. \ Oddly enough, the defeated democratic : state candidates appear to agree in Illuming it all on Sheelian. No one 'has yet alluded to the fact that there exists a letter signed by Richard Croker, predicting exactly what came to pass on election day. The result of the general reerimation is that Gov. "Flower and Mr. Sheelian arc not 011 cordial terms, a fact which seems destined to have a momentous influ ence in New York city before very long. The Fountain Court. Architects in New York who make a specialty of catering for the patronage of those favored mortals who can afford to live in palaces have noticed that the fountain fad is becoming very popular. The great hallways in New York mansions presented at one time a very hare appearance despite the grato fires and potted plants adorning them, j Now, however, the electric fountain is being introduced, and its peri'..: v.niters give a most imposing air l > : "court," as the stairc: • MJ'.VUV i termed. This whole idea is a iveent French importation, but the encomiums of Mr J and Mrs. Yznaga forh- ving introduced it comes as a* surprise to that , ? p. ristocratic f ' 'VjY couple.

In fact, feiri | ininc interest is largely re; pozisible 1 for the enthusiasm manifested i;i the horse, apart from that animal's turf possibilities. The women of the Van derbilt family are now striking c ::cm plification of this. So are the McAllis ter girls. "Our women are getting more Paris ian every year," Cornelius Vanderbilt is quoted as having said, very recently. When asked to specify, he instanced the New York woman's interest in horses and paintings, two incongruous tastes, truly. Hut the facts bear him out. The dealers who earn so much by im porting the works of rising art stu dents and the men who profit by the trade in superior horseflesh acknowl edge that were it not for the orders given by New York women of fashion their trade would languish. .

He seems to have had agents everywhere. The Soutli American traders have been complaining of es pionage. (.'ertainly Mendonca has been scrutinizing, or rather earn ing to bo scrutinized, every doubtful cargo invoiced to a Brazilian port. lie has been very successful in keep ing his movements secret and in avoiding an open coniliet with any one, although on one oecasion there came near being an appeal to Wash ington. One consequence of the un pleasantness is great distress among certain branches of New York trade. The hardware traffic is suffering se verely. Americans do a heavy business with Ilio Janeiro in tools and imple ments, but Admiral Mello's operations have been playing havoc with it. The principal street car line in Bio is owned and operated by Philadelphia and New York capitalists, who have been wondering whether the shots and shells would leave any rolling stock to their credit. Now Yorkers have been complaining of the temerity of Phila delpliians in undertaking to acquire control of Gotham's streets, but it seems that Bio Janeiroans have their thoroughfares controlled by the same astute class. So when these poor South Americans want hotter street railway | accommodations after the war, they \ must ask Charles J. Ilarrah, of Phila- i dolphin., and his New York colleagues i to condescend to grant thorn. If Men- j done a can manage this, too, he will be a diplomat Indeed.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hull's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitu tional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

Her littTfc girl, who was more to her than all her friends put together, died. Bob White watched the funeral go Il3*, he stroked the turkey on the hack and asked if he wasn't sorry. Then he rubbed his dirty little fists in his eyes and was just as sorry liimself as ever he could be. After that funeral the old grand mother and all the people who came to visit her declared that the rich lady couldn't have any Thanksgiving. "Naw," said the old grandmother, shaking her head, "ther'll he no Thanlcsgivin' fer her." Boh White thought he had been as sorry as it was possible for a hoy to be when the grand lady went past the gate in her carriage, following the pretty little girl to the cemetery, but lie was even sorrier when he heard that she couldn't have a Thanksgiving, lie sat a long time beside the turkey thinking about the matter. Then he stooped and kissed his friend on the bill, and the tears gathered thick and. fast in his blue eyes. "But sho must have a Thanksgiving," he said. It was on the afternoon previous to the festival that Mrs. Welburt, looking from her sitting-room window, beheld a strange couple coming across tho lawn. It was a small boy and a large lurko3' led by a string. The boy was a very solemn individual 3' the time he reached the house and looked about him to see l>3' which door lie should enter. The lady opened the long window, and, stepping out on the pia/ra, asked softly: "What will you have, little boy?" •1 want you to have a Thanksgiv ing," said Bob White, way down in his throat, for he was a bashful little boy in the presence of the grand lady. "He's nice and fat, and he's a good tur key." Then Boh held out the string and turned away, for the turkey said: "Gobble, gobble, gobble!" and he was afraid tlie lady would think he was going to cry, and he realty didn't want 16 give her the turkey. After that present, of course Mrs. i Welburt had a Thanksgiving; but she had only two guests, Lob White and his little sister. Before they sat down to the big fat turkey on the table, sho took them to the window and showed them another big fat turkey roaming about the lawn. "That's gobble,gobble, gobble,"said the lady; "and he's going to enjoy many and many a Thanksgiving."— Louise 11. Baker, in Our Little Ones. ttubtluliiff H I'olur Hear.
