FREELAND, PA., MAY 6, 1895.
A Hazleton paper has set up the cry
that the Nescopeck might run dry, and
therefore is not to be depended upon as
a stream to furnish water. Is this an
Indirect way of excusing the corporation
which is making preparations to turn
mine water into the creek?
The Philadelphia Press has stopped
shrieking. The threat to investigate
Philadelphia's municipal affairs was only
a bluff, consequently the Press is calm
again. For a while it seemed the job
bers' organ would have a fit as severe as
the one it had when Pattison compelled
it to disgorge the Bardsley rebate divvy.
County politics are decidedly dull,
considering that the important offices of
sheriff and recorder are to be filled next
fall. In former years the buzzing of the
bees in several citizens' hats could be
plainly heard around the first week in
May. The Democrats cannot bo ex
pected to show much concern over the
the approaching election, but the other
fellows would be pardoned if they began
to make a stir.
Colonel Laciar, the Wilkes-Ilarre
correspondent of the Scranton Tribune,
says that ex-Congressman Ilines, in
spite of his disastrous defeat last year,
claims he is entitled to the Democratic
| nomination for congress in 1896, and
will make an effort to get 011 the ticket.
The same authority mentions that John
T. Lena ha 11 may also be an aspirant for
congressional honors. There may be
others before the convention is over.
The Upper Lehigh Coal Company Is
silent about that tunnel which is to
empty mine water into the Nescopeck
crock. People accused of wrong-doing
usually resent the charge if they are
innocent, but there have been no denials,
so far. The company has been charged
with preparing to pollute this stream in
tho interest of certain men who are
stockholders in the coal company and
also in a Hazleton water company. As
they refuse to refute the accusation,
people cannot help but believe them
guilty, especially while their actions
have a guilty look.
Some people 111 New York city are
greatly concerned lest the readers of
country newspapers will not thoroughly
understand tho money question. The
TRIBUNE has had offers from them to
furnish us "broadside" supplements to
send out with this paper, said supple
ments to contain brilliant and enter
taining articles 011 the money problem.
To test their sincerity in wishing to
correctly inform the country people on
[ tho question, we offered to use their
I "broadsides" if they would allow the
free silver men to edit one page and the
"sound money" men the other. Our
offer was ignored, of course. The gold
hugs refused to be a party to a square
debate.
Every fair-minded person, no matter
how bitterly they may be opposed to the
formation of Quay county, had to rejoice
to see justice triumph in the house of
representatives last Wednesday, when
tho sneaking attempt was made to kill
tho bill in the supposed absence of its
friends. Tho overwhelming voto cast
for the motion to reconsider shows there
still remains some love of fair play in
the legislature, and that the corporation
and political tricksters cannot run
things quite so high-handed as they '
would like in this matter. The fight for
Quay county has been clean, honorable
and open. Not a man has arisen to in
sinuate that anything but the fairest
methods have been used in advancing
it, and those who have the measure in
charge deserve commendation for their
refusals to imitate its opponents by try
ing to debauch the legislature.
If Mr. John Smoulter, as county chair
man of what remains of tho Democratic
party, has not invited any expression of
views 011 the advisability of holding an
early county convention, he ought to do
so. For many reasons we believe the
early holding of the convention would
be a good thing, and as wo have seen no
argument that is worthy of attention
that it would not, we think it ought to
ho held. For that reason we suggest
that he call a meeting of the county
committee at an early date, say within
two weeks, and test the sentiment and
fooling of the party for the scheme.
So far as we can see an early convention
would injure 110 interest, and the selec
tion of a strong and capable ticket and
and presenting it to tho public would
strengthen the cause of Democracy. It
needs strengthening most every one will
admit, and this early convention plan
might be the means of doing the trick.

QUEER TEXAS SNAKES.
Some Climb Trees and Bob the
Nests of Birds.
* Yellow Rarer and a floopsnaka
Had Lots of Fun Together—The Opos
lum Snake Feigns Death When
It Is Touched.
"There is a species of whlpsnake in
the Lone Star state, the male of which
is jet block and the female pea green,"
said a former resident of Texas. "They
are long, slim reptiles, and they climb
trees und rob birds'nests with remark
able celerity.
"The yellow racer of Tex-as is anothei*
interesting snake. When ho crawls
movements are from side to side, but
when he races he undulates, with his
head several inches in the air, and ho
can get over the ground almost as fast
as a jack rabbit. You will often see a
yellow rucer chasing a red-bellied hoop
snake, and vice versa. Sometimes you
will see them racing side by side neither
seeming to try to outspeed the other,
and both getting over tho ground for
the fun of the thing. The most amus
ing snake race I ever saw out there was
between a hoopsnake aud a racer.
There was a big bulge in the hoop
snake's body, evidently caused by a
large toad in his stomach, and 110
wabbled so that every littlo while he
would lose his balance and tumble side
ways. The racer also had a large lump
in his body, but it didn't bother him
much in traveling, and he stopped and
waited whenever the hoopsnake tipped
over. The hoopsnake would look up
and start In again, and he and the racer
covered more than two miles in that
way, going ahead of the horse I was
riding.
"While trying to net pigeons one
season I saw a yellow racer crawling
toward the stool pigeon. For the mo
ment I was more concerned about a
hawk that had been circling overhead
for some time, aud I didn't pay much
attention to the snake. At length the
hawk dived at the stool pigeon and
knocked tho breath out of it. Without
waiting for the hawk to snatch the
stool pigeon the racer wound himself
around the hawk's neck and breast.
Suddenly a hoopsnake rolled past me
at top speed and brought up near the
stool pigeon, as if he was going to help
the racer strangle the hawk. The
THE RACER WOUND HIMSELF AROUND
THE HAWK'S NECK.
hawk arose before the hoopsnake got a
chance to tackle it. It hadn't ascended
more than two hundred feet when the
racer tied its wings tight to its body,
and the hawk dropped like a wad of
mud, thirty feet or so from the stool
pigeon. The hoopsnake had been glar
ing ut the hawk as if he was disap
pointed, but the instant it landed he
rolled right at it and commenced to
thuiilp it on the head with his horn.
The hawk screamed and struggled vio
lently, and the racer tightened his coils
around its wings and prevented it from
rising It couldn't fight with its claws,
and the hoopsnake continued to ham
mer it on the head, and the racer to
squeeze it, as if it had been a put-up
job between the snakes beforehand to
tackle tho hawk in that way. The
hoopsnake pounded until he had bat
tered its head all out of shape with his
sharp horn. In a littlo while the hawk
ceased to stir, and the racer unwound
himself, and the hoopsnake stopped
hammering. Both reptiles gazed at tho
dead bird for a moment, and then the
hoopsnake hooked his tail into his lip,
and the two went away together.
"The opossum snake of Texas
feigns death if you tap it on the back
with a switch, and sometimes when
you make a quick strike at it and don't
touch it. The natives assert that a
badly scared opossum snake will re
main quiescent until sunset, no matter
how early in the day you scare it, aud
then it will glide off at great speed. I
once frightened an opossum snake by
switching the ground near it. The
snake made believe it was lifeless, and
I hid in a clump of bushes and watched
it. It couldn't possibly have seen me,
and for an hour and forty minutes it
remained perfectly' motionless. It
lacked two hours and twenty minutes
of sundown, but I had concluded to
stay there and see whether the snake
would clear out. I lost the chance,
however, for within a few minutes a
pair of turkey buzzards lit on the snake
together. It began to squirm and flop
and beat the grass, but it had waited a
little too long, for the buzzards pulled
it in two speedily, each sailing away
with a writhing half.
"At another time I watched am
opossum snake for hours, and wan paid
for it a little after sunset by seeing a
monster owl pounce upon it, tie it intc
knots and sail off with it."
Death of a Famous Recluse.
James Fitzpatrick, the famous Derby
(Conn.) hermit, was found dead in his
hut the other morning. He had not
been seen for several days. A party
found him lying dead on the floor.
Half a century ago he was a very prom
inent person, but he was disappointed
in love, and for forty years he had not
spoken to a woman. During this time
he had lived as a recluse in an old hut
in the suburbs. If a womafi approached
hia hut he would run away and hide.
SELF-ROCKINQ CRADLE.
A Novelty That Will lie Welcomed by
Many Tired Mothers.
A cradle set in motion by clockwork
mechanism is certainly a novelty, and
will bo welcomed by many overworked
mothers and nurses. In outward ap
pearance this novel cot is much the
same as the ordinary wire net bassi
nette, suspended between two upright
supports, the motor being inclosed in a
metal casing, which is fixed in the
front part of the cot. The mechanism
is wound up with a key and started by
a button, when it will produce a sternly
and noiseless rocking motion at a very
slow and gentle speed, lasting from
one to forty minutes. The swinging
motion can be sflippcd and restarted at
will by a siinplo contrivance, and the
BELF-ROCKINO CRADLE.
clockwork Is constructed to rock a
child up to thirty pounds in weight,
corresponding with the age of eighteen
months. The rocking motion is not af
fected by the movements of the child.

ABOUT DINNER-GIVING.
Borne Hints for Ladles Who Like This
Form of Hospitality.
Dinner-giving should not bo a great
tax on any good housekeeper; her
domestic affairs should be so arranged
and in such good running order that
the mere fact of having a few extra
persons to entertain is of very little
moment. Table decoration, to be in
good taste, should be very simple.
There was a time, only a few years ago,
when we ran into tremendous extremes
in this regard, says a writer in Ilar
per's Bazar. At dinners favors wero
sometimes given, which for many per
sons it was an embarrassment to accept.
But we have seen the folly of all this,
and have modified our ways, and now
we entertain in a more temperate and
certainly in a much more refined man
ner. Any ostentatious display of wealth
is vulgar, and is generally so consid
ered.
Candles are used for lighting dinner
tables, chiefly because the light is sup
posed to be softer and more becoming.
These are placed either in single
candlesticks, disposed in some regular
way on the table, or in low candelabra.
Shades are used or not, as one prefers.
If they are used, the table decorations
should bo kept harmonious in color.
There is an asbestos lining which can
be bought separate from the shades,
and can be readily used. This prevents
any danger of their burning. The
candles themselves should be very
cold, and if they aro laid in an ice
chest all day, they will burn evenly,
without any of that disagreeable melt
ing which is so disfiguring to the candle
and so damaging to the candlestick.
There aro all sorts and kinds of do
vices used as a substitute for candles,
but the best taste is to have the real
thing, and with Just a little thought
given to the subject the wax candles
ought to burn satisfactorily. Small
lamps are often used, and sometimes
there is no light on the table itself,
illumination depending entirely upon a
drop-light, which, with a handsome
shade, casts a mellow glow on the
table, and is absolutely no trouble at
all to arrange. I liavo seen a pretty
effoct produced, when there was a
chandelier directly over the table, by
arranging an open Japanese umbrella
so that the light was softly diffused
through this medium, and at the same
time one's head was protected from the
heat of the gas.
Flowers should be odorless, if pos
sible, when used for a dinner-table
decoration, as strong-scented blossoms
are apt to make some persons feel faint.
Of course violets, roses and the like
would not come under the head of.
heavy perfumes. The floral decoration
should be kept low, so as not to ob
struct the view across the table. A
boutonnicre is often placed at each
gentleman's plate, and a long-stemmed
jose at each lady's. It is a pretty fash
ion, sometimes observed, to put a few.
violets in each flngor-bowL The center
piece can be so arranged as to be fash- :
ioned of a number of bouquets, so that
after dinner the man or maid can pass
a tray upon which these bouquets are*
placed, and each lady may select her
own.
Besides the flowers and the candles
there are also placed on the table
quaint silver bonbon-dishes containing 1
candies, cake, etc.
When Selecting a Veil.
The salesgirl at the veil counter has
Bomo good ideas. Buy a wide enough
veil, she urges, always double width,
pnless it is over a close bonnet; buy a
good quality—the flimsy ragß are tho
most expensive in tho end, and never
Jook well at any time of their service;
Belect one of fine net, with a far-apart
small dot; the cross-barred meshes
make lines on tho face that are exactly
like wrinkles, and the sprigged and be
figured ones are equally unbecoming;
don't use an edged veil, it only makes
a thick look about the throat as all
yells now are gathered under the chin,
not left hanging free, and above all,
don't wear a veil after it is torn; a slit
across one eye or on the nose, or show
ing a bit of hair, Is intolerable, and
spoils an otherwise effective toilet, and
finally, always pin, never tie, a veil.
LARGEST OF DIAMONDS.
Said to Have Been Sent to tho
Pope at Bomo.
It Weighs More Than Nine Hundred and
Beventy-One Carats Which, In Avoir
dupois, In Equivalent to Nearly
Half a Found.
According to a cablegram received
from London, the pope has received
from the president of the Transvaal
republic a diamond wcighing97l carats.
The stone was fouud in the Jagersfon
tcin mines and is declared to be the
largest known.
The cablegram states that the mon
ster diamond is of a bluish-white cast
and practically perfect, its only blem
ish being a tiny spot in the center, in
visible to the naked eye.
Why the president of the Transvaal
republic has sent it to the pope is not
mude clear. It Is not to be supposed
that ho has made a present to his holi
ness of a stone valued at $1,000,000.
Probably his object was to get a free
advertisement for his little republic
and the big diamond found there.
The Jewelers' Circular prints a pic
ture of the diamond, showing its actual
size. This was received from a corre
spondent in South Africa. The Circu
lar presumes that the diamond referred
to is the one known as the Jagersfon
tein Excelsior.
It was picked up by a pative while
ho was loading a truck. Although a
white overseer was standing near him,
he managed to hide it and keep it on
his person for some time. It turned
out, however, that he did not wish to
steal it, for he delivered it personally
to the maanger. As a reward he re
ceived $750 and a horse and saddle.
Tho exact weight of the diamond is
971% carats, or about seven and ono
quartex ounces avoirdupois. It there
fore weighs uncut nearly half a pound.
In its present condition it measures
three inches in length, one and a half
inches in thickness, two and a half
inches at Its greatest breadth and one
and a third inches at its least breadth.
It is of a beautiful bluish color and is
shaped like the broken-off end of an
icicle.
The flaw In it is believed to be more
serious than is stated in tho cable dis
fUE LAROEST DIAMOND IN TUB WORLD.
(Reproduced at Its exact size.)
patch. It Is a black spot near the mid
dle. It could be cut in two, however,
so as to leave out the blemish. It would
then make two of the largest diamonds
in existence. At the time of its discov
ery it was valued at $1,000,000.
The largest cut diamond in tho world
is the Orloff in the scepter of the em
peror of Russia, weighing 194% carats.
It is cut in tho rose form, with a flat
surface below. According to one story,
it formed the eye of an Indian idol and
was stolen by a French deserter. In
1773 Count Orloff bought it for Em
presß Catherine at a' cost of $450,000.
The next largest is the Pitt diamond,
bought in 1703 by Mr. Pitt, governor of
Madras, for SIOO,OOO. The duke of Or
leans, regent of France, bought it for
Louis XV. for $050,000. It is now re
ported to be worth twice that sum. At
the time of the revolution it was sent to
Berlin, but reappeared in the hilt of
the sword of state used by Napoleon I.
It weighs 136% carats, but originally
weighed 410.
After this comes the Florentine, or
Grand Duke, now in the possession of
the emperor of Austria. It is of a yel
low color, oblong in shape and cut in
the rose pattern. Its exact weight is
given as 133.10 carats. Tradition says
it was lost by Charles the Bold at the
battle of Granson and picked up by a
Swiss soldier who sold it for a few
pence.
Tho Kohinoor, the largest diamond in
the possession of the British crown, is
believed to be the finest and purest in
existence. It also has the most singu
lar history. The Indian legend says
that it was found in one of the Golcon
da mines, near the Klshna river, and
was worn 5,000 years ago by Kama, one
of the heroes celebrated in the Mahab
harata. It passed through many hands
to Baber, founder of the Mogul dynasty,
In 1530. Tavernier, the French explorer, |
saw it in 1005.
It was then of the shape of half an
egg and weighed 250 carats. It had
been reduced to that weight from 705%
carats by an unskillful stonecutter.
In 1789 it passed to Nadir Shah, the
Persian invader of India, who gave it its
name of Kohinoor, or mountain of light.
In 1849, when the conquest of the Pun
jab was finally completed, it was sur
rendered to the British, and in 1850 it
was presented to Queen Victoria.
When it was shown in the exhibition
of 1857 in London it weighed 180 1-10
carats. Since then it has been recut,
and now weighs 100 1-10.
It has been conjectured that the Koh
inoor originally formed parts of tho
same stone as the Orloff diamond, both
of them having once been in the posses
sion of the Great Mogul. A stone ol
132 carats captured by Abbas Mirza al
the storming of Cooeha in 1882 may be
a third fragment. This was long used
by a peasant as a flint for striking flic.
