Alien tlie McKinley bill was pass
el its schedules wore arraugeil by
the protected interests according to '
their notions of what was the limit of
popular endurance. The Wilson bill
is manipulated by a bevy of protec
tionist Democratic senators, who go
as far as they dare in reconstructing
its schedules against the interest of
consumers without making the bill so
outrageous that no change would be
preferable to the changes proposed.
The fact has been developed that
there is no real Democratic majority
in the senate.— PUila. Record.
This is the way the London Daily
News presented the status of tiie
Coxey movement in this country to
its readers on April 21; "Washing
ton is threatened with a new invasion.
Bands of unemployed, set in motion
by the eloquence of a member of con
gress named Coxey, arc converging
upon it from many points of the com
pass. They come, or are coming, not
only from Virginia Maryland, but
from the Middle States, from Indiana
and Pennsylvania, from New England
and Connecticut. They aro under
stood to be about to demand SSOO,
000,000 for unemployed relief."
Billy Hines is still the only candi
date who wants the Democratic nomi
nation for congress, and it is conced
ed on all sides that he will get it
without a struggle. After the con
vention Billy will make several tours
of the district and give a grand dis
play of oratorical fireworks, telling
about tho trials anil tribulations he
endured on behalf of the dear work
ingmen while in office. Billy has the
story down fine, and can rattle off a
speech of self-praise as no other man
in the county could do, but how the
records differ from his account of the
work will be shown up in due time.
Humbugs have had their day.
Kx-State Senator Morgan 11. Williams,
of \\ ilkes-Barre, is doing his best to
shove aside John Leisenring in the con
gressional race in Luzerne county. The
Democrats, however, do not propose to
allow any Republican to represent the
twelfth district in tlie next congress.—
Phila. Record.
The Democrats of this district
would, if given an opportunity, allow
none but a Democrat to bo elected to
congress, but the nominee already
picked out for them by the party
bosses is not a Democrat in anything
but name, consequently it is no fault
of theirs if John Leisenring or any
other Republican is sent to represent
the district. The present incumbent
is slated fur renomination, and since
ho has disgraced his party and his
district in congress it is going too far
to ask the Democrats of Luzerne to
disgrace themselves by giving him
another election.
The Democratic candidate for gov
ernor, whoever he may be, will not
stand a very sure chance of being
elected, but the candidate for lieu
tenant governor will have a great'
deal in bis favor from present indica
tions. Quay's selection for the posi
tion is Walter Lyon, of Allegheny,
and although "Jack" Robinson is
making a splendid light for the nomi
nation it is certain that Quay's man
will win, as he usually does in con
ventions. Against Lyon is leagued
the church element of western Penn
sylvania, comprising nearly every
Sabbath organization in that part of
tho state, including the Young Wen's
Christian Association and kindred
societies. J hey oppose him because
of bis efforts to have the "Sunday
laws" repealed, and in circulars and
through tho press threaten to use
every influence they can weild to de
feat him. If the Democrats nomi
nate a strong candidate, Colonel
Ricketts, of Wilkes-Barre, for in
stance, he will have strength behind
that will undoubtedly elect him.

Modern Educational Methods.
The difference in principle between
the old and the new educational meth
ods is this: At the present time, if the
scholar is not induced to study by the
attractive methods by which learning
is now imparted, if the arts of moral
suasion do not overcome juvenile indo
lence and obstinacy, the scholar goes
into the world with no knowledge
or discipline of mind, but with conceit
in the partial education he has re
ceived which will prevent hi in from
learning anything more. In tlu old
time, writes Hon. William Pope Dab- 1
ney in Blue and Gray, it was differ- j
ent. There was no royal road to
knowledge. The master had been
paid to teach, and whether the bright, j
ambitious boy could rapidly ascend
the mount of science or whether the
dunce came slowly on, impeded by the
thorns along the path, the teacher saw
to it that both should learn. The bird .
that can sing must be made to sing;
the dunce was classed with the smart j
boy, and by his pulling in front and
the master driving up the rear, the :
dunce was forced to learn. There are '
now all over the country men who
were dunces at school, and by coercion
they have attained the heights of a
lofty education. If they learned noth
ing else at the old-field school, they at .
least learned to study.
THREE twenty dollar bills and seven
ten dollar bills of Uncle Sam's good
money have been causing tho city
treasurer of Philadelphia more anxiety
than all the millions that roll into his
strong boxes in the course of a year.
This one hundred and thirty dollars
was the property of an unfortunate
Japanese leper, who died in the Mu
nicipal hospital last January. Tho
money was the savings of years as
cook. After his death it was subjected
to high pressure steam disinfection,
and as tho Jap technically owed tho
city about three hundred dollars for
care in tho hospital it was turned into
the city treasury. The treasurer is a
bit dubious about the bills, despite the
disinfection, and ho don't know
whether to deposit the bills in bank
for general circulation, lock them up
in the vaults, or send them to Wash
ington to bo destroyed and replaced by
new ones.
BIUTISH troops have been rushing
through Maine for several months, the
activity being especially noticeable at
present; but no one In Maine has got
excited over the matter. Indeed, very
few knew anything about it until in
formed by a late dispatch from St.
John. These movements, it is said,
aro in tho line of experiments, the
liritisli government desiring to find out
just how long it would take to get its
men and supplies across the continent
in .vent of trouble with Russia. A
few weeks ago a special train carrying
armament and supplies was dispatched
from Halifax to Esquimault, B. C., with
Instructions to stop for nothing hut
water and to change engines. There
were nine loaded cars on the train, and
the trip was made, according to the ro
port of the Canadian l'acifio officials,
in less than five days.
OLD-FASIIIONED country folk who
have seen rural quilting parties would
be astonished to know how quilts
are made by wholesale in this town.
There Is no such thing as the quilting
frame and the wet chalked string, nor
yet is there the buzz of feminine gos
sip, any more than there are those
"carnal considerations of tea and I
toast" that helped to brighten tlio
country quilting. Quilts arc made
there hy the aid of powerful and swift
sewing machines run hy steam, and
the only buzz audible in tlio factory
is that of the machinery. Men are the
workers.
A NEW English Invention is intended
as a substitute for the horse and horse

THE actual land area of many ol
the older states Is a matter of uncer
tainty. Tho more recently admitted
states and the territories have been
carefully surveyed by United States
engineers, and the land areas and
water areas havo been distinguished.
The accepted areas of the older states,
however, aro in somo Instances of un
certain authority, and there Is room
for a great deal of Interesting geo
graphical work by the state author

THE use of the smallest sizes of oal
for the purpose of generating steam has
been a veritable bonanza to the own
ers of coal mines, as the cost of coal at
the mines decreases In proportion to
tho size, being two dollars andseventy
flve cents for chestnut, seventy-five
cents for buckwheat and ten cents for
barley. The transportation is also
less. A Philadelphia dealer recently
stated that within his recollection
sizes below stove coal were considered
of little or no value.

Ihe knew he could act He felt it in his
soul, and he would prove it to the
whole world some day. He was born
with a silver spoon in his mouth, and
it made little difference if the governor
had cast him off when ho left college
to go on the stage, for ho knew his
luclc would coino back to him in time.
He was always thinking of her. Ho
saw her fresh oval face in tho blue-gray
rings of his cigarette smoke; the smell
of roses was like the perfume of her
breath; her eyes looked at him from
the pansies on every corner flower
stand. Perhaps this was because she
was one of the band of wood nymphs
who came out in pink and white to
strew flowers for the feet of the prima
donna to crush. She should have been
a prima donna herself; he had heard
her sing, and he knew. Wait till his
fortune came back to liira.
They were both stopping at the same
wretched actors' boarding-house, ou a
side street that ran from Broadway to
the Bowery, and at dinner she sat op
posite him at the long table around
which gathered nightly a rare collec
tion of chorus girls, ballet dancers,
song and dance artists, variety per
formers, and broken-down and hard-up
people of the "legit." He knew that
curly shock of yellow hair was not its
natural color, and her eyelids were
penciled, but she had teeth like ivory
and her laugh thrilled him away down
into his shoes. It was only when the
professional ventriloquist, desiring the
butter, made the chandelier squeak,
"Shove the grease, Coots," that he be
came aware he was staring at her and
not eating a mouthful. He hated tho
ventriloquist; for that manipulator of
vocalization was the one who had
given him the nickname of "Coots,"
and now everybody in the house called
him that—even she called him that.
But she was divinol
The "Johnnies" gathered thickly
about the stage door every night to see
the chorus girls come out; but ho knew
she hated the insipid fops, for he had
heard her say so, and she never paid
any attention to them. She usually got
off first, and left the theater as soon as
possible, and he had not yet commanded
sufficient courage to tell her he would
take her safely to the boarding house
if Bhe would wait. Hut one night she
was delayed, and he was close behind
her when she left the theater.
There was the usual throng outside
the stage door, and one of them spoke
to her. He had been drinking, and he
placed himself in her path, offering his
arm and proposing to call a cab. She
AND COOTS WAS WALKING AWAY WITII
HER,
tried to pass him, but he caught at her
arm. The next instant he lay flat on
his back, and Coots was walking away
with her.
"Oh, I thank you, Coots!" she said,
with a catchy little laugh that was like
the gurgle of a brook to him. "That
cad has bothered rae for a week. Per
haps he'll keep away now ho has got
swiped."
He did not mind the slang; he ex
pected it He had found everybody
talked slang at the boarding house, and
it sounded rather sweet and "chic"
from her lips, when he would have
thought it coarse from some other
woman.
"I'm almost ashamed to think I
struck him so hard," he said; "but my
blood boiled when I saw him put hia
hand on your arm, Miss Thorne/'
"Ohl call mo Daisy, Coots; that's
(food enough for my style."
"Your style! You're too modest.
You are fit to star. You will someday,
too."
"Well, I hope you're right. All I
want is to get hold of an angel. I'll
work the duck for all ho is worth!
Twelve dollars a week is rocky, but 1
have to do it or get off the earth."
"Wait till my luck comes back to
me!" cried Coots. "I'll back you then.
I'll have a piece written for you."
"You dear boy!" she laughed.
They did not take a car. She raid
she had as lief walk, as it would save
the fare; and Coots was sure he had
much rather walk as long as she waa
at his side.
"Tell me, Coots—how did you ever
happen to get down to this?" she
asked.
Then he told her all about it, and she
called him a foolish fellow, but he did
not agree with her.
"Mother sends mo money every now
and then, without the governor know
ing it," ho said. "I'll get along all
right until I find an opening and do
something to give me a foothold."
Coots never forgot that walk down
Broadway and the warm pressure given
his fingers by her plump little hand
when they reached the boarding-house.
That night she was in all his dreams.
Sidney Temple belonged to the
"legit," but he was in hard luck; the
"Bowery Flower" company, in which
he had played the heavy villain, having
stranded in Oshkosh, where they were
deserted by their manager and left.to
get back to New York as best they
could. Temple had come in on his up
pers, and he was staying at the second
rate actors' boarding house until he
struck another engagement How he
obtained money to pay his board was
something of a mystery, but it was no
ticed that he had become very friendly
with Coots, the two being together a
great deal. Daisy was the first to sus
pect the truth, and, one day, she ac
| cused Temple.
"You are playing Coots for a sucker.
Temple!" she declared, her brown eyes
flashing. "I know he has money from
his mother, and you are beating him
out of it at cards! You are encourag
ing him to drink, too."
Temple laughed. "Well, what of it.
Little Spitfire.? He'll blow himself

some way and I've got to live till I get
on the road again."
"It's a shame!" cried Daisy, warmly.
"You are a scoundrel and he is nothing
but a boy I"
"It seems to mo you take a remark
able interest in the kid. I believe
you're stuck on his bang."
"I don't care what you believe. I'm
not going to see him beaten out of his
money."
"How will you help it?"
"I know away. There's a man on
Twenty-third street who would give
something to know where to find you,
and he says he is willing to pay j r our
board at Ludlow street jail for awhile.
If you don't let up on Coots, that man
is pretty sure to find you."
"I pass!" said Temple, ruefully.
"You hold high cards and the pot is
yours."
One day Coots came to Daisy with a
strange look of mingled grief and joy
on his face.
"It's awful!" he said, chokingly.
"Father's dead. Terribly sudden.
Heart failure."
11c saw the sympathy In her eyes,
and he went on, before she could
speak:
"lie was rich, you know, and his will
leaves one-half of everything to me,
providing I give up the idea of going
on the stage."
"Of course you will do that," she
said. "You'd be crazy if you didn't!"
"Yes, I shall give it up. 1 don't know
as I was cut out for an actor, after aIL
I told you my luck would come back to
me, and I would not forget you then.
There is nothing in the will to prevent
me from marrying an actress and back
ing lior, if I want to do it If you'll
marry me, Daisy, I'll put you out in a
new piece and at the head of a first-class
company."
"You dear, good boy!" she cried, with
a laugh that was half a sob. "I
signed contracts for next season yes
terday. and I am to marry Sidney
Temple next Saturday! We are going
out together in the same company."
Coots' luck had truly come back to
him!

The second grand concert of the first
series will be given in the Presbyterian
church, Hazleton, on Tuesday evening,
May 15, 1894, at 8.15 o'clock. Miss

organist, Mr. Geo. W. Morgan, a harpist
of rare ability and known from New
\ork to San Francisco through her con
cert tours with her father, has been en
gaged for this occasion. Miss Morgan's
selections are true compositions for the
harp, not mere little piano ditties played
by ear; therefore she is entitled to a first
place among artists on the harp.
Charles A. Rice, who so captivated the
people at the first concert last January,
has been re-engaged because of popular
demand. Mr. Rice possesses a tenor
voice of unusual beauty, flexibility and
range. Admission, reserved seats, 50
cents; unreserved seats, 25 cents.

Castoria is truly a marvelous thing for
children. Doctors prescribe it, medical
journals recommend it and more than a
million mothers are using it in place of
paregoric, Bateman's Drops, so-called
soothing syrups and other narcotic and
stupefying remedies. Castoria is the
quickest thing to regulate the stomach
and bowels and give healthy sleep the
world has ever seen. It is pleasant to
the taste and absolutely harmless. It
relieves constipation, quiets pain, cures
diarrhoea and wind colic, allays fever
ish ness, destroys worms, and prevents
convulsions, soothes the child and gives
it refreshing and natural sleep. Cas
toria is the children's panacea—the
mother's friend.

Fifteenth Centory.
Long before ladies* newspapers were
started and fashion plates in their mod
ern form were thought of, ladies de
rived their knowledge of the fashions
from dolls dressed in model costumes,
which were sont from one country to
another, most especially from Paris,
which then as now was the leading
center of the mode. This custom of
exchanging fashion dolls commenced
early in the fifteenth century, and pre
railed for more than one hundred

fears, when woodcuts and engravings
were substituted, until towards the
end of the eighteenth century colored
fashion plates and illustrated almanacs
made their appearance. Great ladies
used to send these dolls to their friends
at a distance, and, as the costumes
were made by professional "cutters,"
exactly to the right shape and in the
latest style, with due regard to de
tails of materials and trimmings, the
dressmakers had only to enlarge the
measurements of them.
DRESSING THE BRIDE.
Heavy White Satin Ih the Correct Ma
terial for Wedding Gown*.
Very heavy white satin is used for the
wedding gown, writes Isabel A. Mal
lon, in Ladies' Home Journal. The
skirt, which is quite plain in front, has
a ilare about the lower part, the result
of there being two full plaits on each
side of the broad gore. In the back
there are two double box-plaits that
fall far down, spread out and extend
through the train, which is very nearly
a yard long. The bodice is a pointed
one, laced in the back; is high in the
neck, and has over its white satin col
lar folds of white tulle, caught at one
side with a tiny bunch of orange blos
soms. The sleeves have enormous
pull's of the satin that reach quite to
the elbows, and below that they lit in
to the arms, and each comes down in a
point over the hand. Folds of tulle
outline this point. Over each shoulder
is an elaborate epaulette of orange
blossoms. The hair is arranged quite
high and pinned closely and very firm
ly to the head; and the veil, which is
fastened on under a wreath of orange
blossoms, extends to the edge of the
skirt in front and over the entire
length of the train at the back. It is
necessary in arranging this veil to re
member that while it is worn over the
face going up the aisle of the church,
it is thrown back after the ceremony,
in such away that the bride may look
her best when the veil is off her face.

When any cleaning or sweeping is in
progress the heavy curtains and por
tieres should be removed, and after be
ing thoroughly brushed and shaken
should be allowed to hang in the air
until the rooms are cleaned ami ready I
for their return, writes James Thomp
son in a very practical article, "Artis
tic Doorways and Windows," in La
dies' Home Journal. Heavy hangings
will absorb the odor from cigar smoke
or from any food which may bo cook
ing, and the greatest care should there
fore be taken tliat they be kept well
aired. The doorway curtains may ho
so easily removed and placed in posi
tion again that there should bo no ex
cuse for any unpleasant odor being at
tached to them.

The beaux and belles of Washington
have a dancing- class called the "Lit
tle 400." No one over nine years old
can join the class, and no child is too
young. Even your little baby-broth
ers and sisters might go and take their
first walking steps to the music of ♦his
dancing clas#.—N. V. Ledger.
