FREELAND, PA., AUGUST 10, 189-1. What has Conyressman I lines ever <lme tn deserve a renominci linn from the Democratic party f Every business mnn who advertises judiciously and treats his customers honestly, courteously nnd fairly is bound to get business, and the more business he secures and holds the better it is for the town. No man can make a success of his business without helping his neighbors. There fore lei none be envious of prosperity that is fairly and legitimately earned. Mars is vory near to the earth now, and the observations of astronomers have again revived the romantic hallucination that the people of that orb are signaling us by means of whole continents of electric light. Tlio astronomers profess to regret that some means are not at baud to return the signals. "Why not send up a bal loon with tho senate trail! bill in it. It would satisfy tho Marsians and afford an immense relief to tho earth. An exchange says that the eloquent Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, who, by the way, is a staunch Republican, is likely to lose cast among the aherents of the G. O. I'. on account of the for ciblo manner in which he donouncod tho Republican tariff humbug. In a recent address he said: "It may be well enough to rock tho cradle for in fant industry, but when it gets over six feet tall and wears number nine boots and threatens to get out of the cradle and kick your head off if you don't rock to suit it, it is about time to move on and give tho McKinley infant a rest." This remark contains a big chunk of common sense com pressed in a few words. At the first sign of tho recent trouble tho Pullman Company yelled for protection. It wanted soldiers. It begged for troops. It yearned for guns and bayonetu and thugs and re fused to be comforted until tho town of Pullman looked like a military garrison. It protested against tho re moval of troops long after all evidences of lawlessness had been wiped out. Now comes a modest bill of §15,000 for feeding the militia. The hill is made out in tho name of the Hotel Florence. The Hotel Florence is located in Pullman. It is owned and operated by the Pullman Company. Hotel business this year has been rather dull in Pullman.— Dispatch. Tho "patriotic orders," as we learn from an afternoon paper, are organiz ing in a secret and oathbound way to defeat the election of Mr. Strubinger, who is the Democratic candidate for congress in the York and Cumberland district. Nothing is alleged against Mr. Strubinger but his religion. He has religious convictions. If he was an atheist, or an agnostic of the Bob Ingersoll pattern, the "patriotic or ders" would have nothing to say against him. These "patriotic orders" would have driven Charles Carroll out of tho Continental congress, Lafayette out of the revolutionary army, and Phil Sheridan out of tho union army, and proscribed thousands who have shed their blood on every battlefield of ( the republic. A fig for such patriot- 1 ism that conspires under tho secrecy of midnight lodges and blasphemous oaths to trample down the most sacred principles of American liberty.— Pitts hnry Dost. Now that the federal troops have finished subduing Dehhs' followers at Chicago and elsewhere it might bo a good plan to turn them loose on the Pacific Railroad millionaires and en deavor to collect tho $150,000,000 those giant corporations owo the j United States, a great part of which i was stolen in the eminently respectable ! way of thieving called credit mobiliers and construction companies. Collis P. Huntington, tho head of tho groat Pacific Railroad system, is in Wash ington, openly declaring the corpora tion of which he is the head will not pay its debt to tho United States, or mako provision for payment in the future. He is in tho lobby working to dofoat a bill looking to securing the governmentin itriglits. When theat terapt is made to regulate thoso sub sidized railroads on tho basis of pay ing their debts, there is a great outcry of impertinent interference with pri vate rights. Rut when they go into | troubles with their employes they j claim to bo public institutions, and tho j government is called on for assistance. I WASHINGTON LETTER. ' Washington, 1). C., Aug. 1 1' 1891. j At last! The agony is nearly over, an j " agreement has been reached and a ; > tariff bill will be passed. Yesterday the Democratic caucus of house members j concluded to end the struggle of months by accepting the senate bill, having become fully satisfied that it J j must be that bill or no bill. They made > a brave light for their party's principles ' and the interests of the masses, but the 1 shackles of monopoly are bound so i tightly about the Republican senators r and four or five Democratic senators, that all their pleading or threats could not change the vote of the debased creatures who appear to have sold tlieir • bodies and souls to tho upholders of the . McKinley law. The senate bill has won, I i | but the cost of the battle will never be i known. Since the passage of the Mc- Kinley law the capitalists interested in \ the heavily-protected industries have i . waxed fat at tho expense of the people I , at large, and when an attempt was made J to bring the tariff down a peg or two it ■ i was not surprising to see a stubborn resistance made. But that the monopo- ( , lists should be aided and supported by I , some of the greatest men in our party j j was a surprise that can only be expressed I j mildly in words. We expected the Re- j 3 publicans would stand out for everything [ i that savored of high taxes and special | i privileges; that is their creed, but it was - not thought the party would be betrayed ! r so shamelessly as it has been by Gorman, . Brice & Co., who threatened to destroy it, if they could, before tliey would part i company with the trusts. Let us, how -5 ever, thank the Lord the traitors in the 3 Democratic party in the senate number less than half a dozen; on the Republi can side every senator stood out boldly • in favor of class legislation as against the interests of the masses. Remember 1 that, Democrats, and do not desert the (lag of our party. Tho day of reckoning j will come, and wo will yet pass a genuine tariff reform bill. President Cleveland's veto of the pri vate bill for the relief of Eugene Wells, [ late captain in the twelfth infantry, is . approved by army officers, and more ' over it is based upon the principles of I the highest justice. This man retired from the army in 1870, to avoid a court , martial that would have resulted in his ' dismissal; was appointed a lieutenant in , 1885 and court-martialed and dismissed j from the service in 1887, for drunkeness , and other causes. Tho vetoed bill pro vided that lie should be appointed a i second lieutenant of artillery and placed on the retired list without the usual ex i animation. In plain words, that a man who had been officially found unfit to be an officer should be paid a salary for the rest of his life as a retired otiicer. t The fact that Wells has influential I friends merely adds to the credit to • which the president is entitled for veto ing the bill, and brings out the strongest • trait in Grover Cleveland's character— -1 bis absolute determination to do what ' he believes to be right regardless of whom it may please or displease. The Republicans in congress who were ' deluded into contributing money to the | Kolb campaign in Alabama—there are a number of them—in the hope that tho ' movement might be made the entering wedge to break up the solid Democracy ' of the South, were a deeply chagrined lot of individuals when the returns were received. Needless to say that tho ! Democratic colleagues of Governor-elect . Oates were delighted at his success. > President Cleveland also had good rea , son to feel gratified, as Colonel Oates • from the beginning of his campaign for 1 the nomination had been classed as the t Cleveland candidate. This election lias ) thrown a wet blanket over the loud i mouthed, but poorly informed, individ ' uals who have been prophesying tre • mendous gains to the Populists in the south at tho expense of the Democratic party. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, says: "It is absurd to talk about tho sugar trust owning the senate. I believe that the [ trust would willingly give a million dol j lars to be assured that there would he no tariff legislation, as under the exist ing McKinley law its profits are vastly greater than under any Democratic j tariff law." Still, if tho right kind of Democrats were in the senate, the sugar trust would have to earn its profits, ami would not be granted a subsidy of forty . or fifty million dollars a year. Cutting j down its special privilege to levy tribute , j upon the American peoplo is very good, j but it should be wiped out entirely, and i would be only for its friends in the sen j ate, who, if they are not owned by the trust, have acted in this tariff business | in away that convinces the majority of the people that their votes arc subject | to orders. A favorable report was made in con gress on Monday from the committee on military affairs on the bill of Represen tative Ilines authorizing the secretary of i: war to deliver condemned cannon to ! Asher Gaylord Post, of Plymontli, and ] to Maj. C. B. Coxe Post, of Freeland. The house judiciary committee has unfavorably reported Representative 1 Everett's hill to enable persons of Jap | anese descent to become citizens of the United States. The committee couldn't j see any good reason for granting to the j | Japs what has been denied to the Chi-1 ' nese. 8. COMMODIOUS COTTAGE. Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars Build and Finish It. All Rooms Am of Convenient Size nnd WVII Proportioned—ChuMto In I)e --kI trii and Ilathor Plcturcnquo In Appearance. When a man is for tho first time bo coining a home builder he meets with many perplexing and troublesome matters, lie quite naturally tells his friends of his intention to build and they in return offer much free advice and many suggestions as to arrange ment and style of architecture. In guiding him through this bewilder ment is displayed the value of tho | a.Y PEHBPECTIV R V EEW. architect's services. It is not only a cTGdit to anyone to dress well, but it is a duty that we owo to our fellow man. And for quite the same reason our houses should have a good appearance as well as being comfortable, for there we spend the greater part of our time. Tho climatic surroundings and the site upon which it is to l>o built greatly govern tho construction of the Amer ican house. All who are going to build want as much room and convenience as possible for the money, with an at tractive exterior. This is a design for a really well built frame residence, with all tho modern improvements, and with an ex terior conceived in a picturesque but chaste style of design, free from cur rent extravagances. The rooms aro well shaped and proportioned to each other, and a general ah of light and cheerfulness pervades tho house. Tho building is set well above the grade and entered from the front by a porch through u vestibule into tho sitting- R— A 1 "IP" T zr '-s. Q'tf'fly I f ' \ | \ 4 I c* —4 JiHifJ PLAN OF FinST FLOOR. room or parlor. The sitting-room Is of fair size and made cozy by the largo octagonal bay and an open fireplace. The bay is aleoved by means of artistic grille work and fitted with built-in bookcases, making a delightful rootl ing nook. To the right is tho parlor of tho same size and back of it the din ing-room. These rooms arc connected by wide sliding doors. To the rear of the sitting-room is a chamber having a rear outlet into the hack porch and connected with the kitchen and dining room through a lobby. In the lobby is a dumb waiter furnishing conven ient connection with the cellar, which is also reached by stairs leading down from the lobby. The pantry is well fitted with all the modern conveniences. The kitchen has a sink and brick-set range with watcrback and boiler, and communicates with tho dining-room through the lobby and the china closet. Cellar is provided under tho whole house, for furnace-room eight feet deep and seven feet for remainder. Going upstairs from tho sitting-room wo land in n small hall, from which aro J R,R ""1 f JW "-"■ I PLAN OP SECOND FLOOR. accessible the three chambers and bath room and stuirs to the attic. The in terior trim for the whole of the first story is of cypress, finished natural, and for tho second story white pine painted in suitable tints or colors. The house is of the very best construc tion and only the best materials and workmanship are used. The cellar walls are of stone, eighteen inches thick to one course above grade lino, thence underpinning of brick. The outside walls are sheathed diagonal ly with lap sheathing and covered with building paper and half-inch sid ing. The second story of tho octagonal tower and the gables and roof are cov ered with cypress shingles. The entire first floor is laid double of yellow pino with paper between. The interior walls throughout are plastered three coats on seasoned pine lath. The hard ware of the first story is of real bronze, of tho second story bronze plated. The outside is painted three coats in colors well selected. Tho plumbing consists of tub, bowl and closet In bathroom, bowl in first story lobby and sink in kitchen, all furnished with hot and cold water, with supply tank in attic. The house is hsated by furnaco placed un der tho dining-room. Tho outside di mensions are 35x40 feet, over all except projection of front porch. Height of stories 10 feet and 8 feet 0 inches re spectively. This house can be built thus in most localities for §2,500, but would vary according to style and Quality of finish employed. E. A. PAYNE. THE WONDERFUL SUN. Actual Work Performed by Old Sol In the Ahaorptlon of Water. At a recent meeting of the Engineers' club of this city Joseph T. Richards mad q, some interesting remarks on the actual work of lifting performed by the sun's rays in tho absorption of wa ter from through the atmosphere. lie said: "For many years past I have been much interested in matters relat ing to the composition of the atmos phere and the work done by the sun in raising the moisture afterwards precip itated as rain. Prof. Loomis claims that the average height of clouds is two miles. Although this is probably correct, I think there is no doubt on the other hand that many clouds from which wo sec rain falling are with in half a mile of the surface of the earth. To make a moderate calculation let us assume as a minimum distance 3,000 feet. If you figure it out you will find that a rain fall of one inch in an hour would amount to 72,000 tons of water deposited on each square mile, to elevate which 3,000 feet would mean an amount of work equal to 220,000 horse-power. To raise this water in an hour by pumping engines giving a duty of 100,000,000 foot-pounds would require the consumption of 200 gross kins of coaL I think this will help us to ap preciate the immense amount of work being done by tho sun in storing up our natural water supply. If the aver age elevation of Philadelphia is 84 feet, then we have 4,517 horse-power de veloped for each square mile for a rain fall run-off In an hour. When these quantities are considered the wonder is that when we have such as that which caused the Johnstown flood the dam age is not much greater than it was on that occasion.—Philadelphia Record. IRRIGATING PLANTS. Vjuit Englnwrtng Works In tho Groat Amorlcan Dosort Rogloii. Very few people realize what vast en gineering mid construction problems ore being solved out west in what a few years ago was termed the Great American Desert region. That same desert region is of remarkable fertility when water is supplied by irrigation plants. The Sweetwater dam, in South ern California, is the pride of its build ers and is worth many millions to the lands it renders fertile. In Arizona an immense canal is being built, which will utilize a part of the surplus waters of Colorado and Irrigate 200,000 acres of land. In New Mexico, in Eddy county, Is the second largest irrigation plant in tho United States. To secure an abundance of water at all times, two immense reservoirs were construct ed capable of storing 5,000,000,000 cubic feet <-f water. Some idea of the size of these arti ficial lakes may bo had when it is men tioned that one of them is thirteen miles long by four miles wide. The water from these reservoirs is conduct ed through some 1,200 miles of canals and ditches and irrigates or will irri gate 250,000 acres of land, mostly fruit and garden land. Imagine a water works plant with a reservoir 40,000 feet square and having 1,200 miles of mains. It took three years to build this plant. Vet others as great or greater are pro jeotod and will be constructed. The future effect of all this vast labor and skill is not easy to predict. In many places they have surely made the desert bloom and turned poverty into wealth. —Land and Water. llnrtu'g Have Toothache. "I was culled in once to attend a horse which was suffering from the toothache," said Dr. R. L. Humphrey, a Philadelphia dentist. "The animal was in great agony, and when I proceeded to examine his mouth he appeared to realize that it was my purpose to re lieve him, and he submitted to my ad ministrations with calmness that was almost human. I discovered a cavity in one of the back teeth, which was also badly ulcerated at the root. I temporarily relieved the pain and next morning went to seo him again. Ho gave evidence of pleasure at my ap proach, and I concluded that I would attempt to fill the tooth instead of re moving it I proceeded to carry out my plan, and when I was outting away the diseased portions of the tooth tho horse flinched no more than a man would have done under the circum stances. I filled tho tooth with a ce ment composition, and the animal had no more trouble with its mouth." Tho I.atoHt Thing In Glass. A new and wonderful substitute for common brittle glass is announced by a Vienna journal devoted to the glass and porcelain trade. Tho substitute is said to have all the properties of Common glass, except that it is flexible. It is made of collodion wool, whatever that may be. False Tooth 2,000 Years Old. In the Ilnman catacombs have been found several sots of false teeth manu factured from Ivory to repair the rav ages of time in the mouths of Roman beauties. The Action of tho Heart.

A colossal equestrian statue in bronze of Gen. Winfleld Scott Hancock will in about a year be set up by the state oi Pennsylvania on the battlefield of Get tysburg, where he stood with his stall and Gen. Howard discussing the action and pointing in a general way toward Round Top. This statue, which is to cost, with lis granite pedestal, about $30,000, is the work of F. Edwin Elwell, and has just been finished in the plaster by the sculptor at his studio in New York city. It will be put into bronze by Bureau Brothers, of Philadelphia. The statue is 17 odd feet high; the horse measures 0 feet 0 inches in the withers, and the bronze plinth is 11 feet 3 inches long by 4 feet 0 inches wide. The 0-foot pedostal, designed by an architect friend of Mr. Elwell, is remarkably artistic, with cartouches on cither side, one with the nuine of \f.-i * __^ipiC } HANCOCK STATUE FOB GETTYSBURG. the subject on the right and that of the sculptor and date on the left. The statue will be one of the largest eques trian works in the country. The figure of lluncock standing would measure 13 feet inches. Mr. Elwoll's statue is picturesque, dignified and forceful, and is said to present an excellent likeness of Gen. Hancock as he appeared at that time. The pose of the figure is easy and com manding, and the modeling strong, simple and broad, the textures being notably well preserved and the fact be ing made essentially evident that the man and horse and trappings are sepa rate objects. The general sits in his saddle like a fine horseman. The face of Hancock is full of life, and the hair, then worn rather long, like the mustache and goatee, adds much to the pieturesqueness of the fig ure. The horse, a fine animal, is full of life, and its pose is capital, standing still, with one foot pawing the air. Tho horse, which from the left of the writer has somewhat of a classic char acter, has its head turned to the left in well-chosen contrast to that of the gen eral, which is directed to tho right. In expression tho head of the horse is rt markably lifelike and alert. Mr. Elwell has made his statue with out any sketch model, preferring to model it directly from life andstili life In evei;y part NEW SUPREME REGENT. Chill \V. Ilazzard, Who Is Now at the Head of the Koyal Arcanum. Col. Chill W. Ilazzard, who was elected supreme regent of the Royal Arcanum, at Detroit, has won distinc tion in many important positions both in and out of the brotherhood. He is now editor of the Monongahcla (Pa.) Daily Republican. He is a thirty-sec ond degree mason and a Knight Tem plar. In the Grand Army of the Repub lic he is u past department commander CHILI.

Ho is also one of the directors of the Gettysburg Bat tlefield Memorial association and sec retary of tho Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia Editorial association. He entered the Royal Arcanum August 4, 1880, as a charter member of Monon gahcla council, No. 507, and at the in stitution of the council was elected past regent. He was regarded in the grand council of Pennsylvania as a val uable and influential member, and was soon made grand regent, the highest office in the gift of the state grand council. This was in 1883, and in 1885 ho was reelected to the office unanimously. In 1802 Mr. Ilazzard was ejected su preme vice regent, and at the expira tion of his term of office in that capac ity, June 11, 1804, he was unanimously chosen supreme regent His various positions of responsibility and trust have given him u large acquaintance, and he is esteemed nnd liked by all who know him.
