FREE DAN©, PA., AUGUST 8. 1805. Up to Monday the New York Times hud kept count of 085 companies and firms which had raised wages, the num ber of employes thus benefited having been 514,000. Rv and by it will be easier to take the national census and just sub tract from it the number of workmen whose wages have not been increased. j "It has been remarked,'' says an ex- | change, "that Democratic candidates for the presidency are becoming more numerous than they were a year ago; and it may bo added that as the success of Democratic policy shall become assur ed available Republican candidates of the high tariff pattern will become scarcer." The Republican party is credit! d with freeing the negro slaves on the plantations, but their bondage was a heaven compared with tins slavery of that same party in the fourth Luzerne district. Who will free them from the corporation collars that bow them down more pitifully than the poor blacks ever knew of ? The Republican ticket nominated on Tuesday possesses no particular strength and so far we have failed to hear that any of the Democratic nominees intend to withdraw through fear of being de feated* There are dark clouds in the Republican skies this year, and the ominous rumblings which are heard above the clanking of corporate chains bode no good for the partv next Novem ber. * At the Atlanta exposition an object lesson in domestic economy will be fur nished in what will he called a model workman's home.

There are thousands of families in the anthracite region who need no object lesson to prove that it is possible to live on less than 9500; what they want to learn is how to get, at the pres ent time, the 9500 a year. There will be some pretty stiff scores to settle, among Luzerne Republicans after the 28th of this month.

The Hastings Republicans of Free land showed a woeful lack of leadership when Democratic office-holders wen given power to conduct their campaign, to direct the delegates' movements at the district convention, to make the celebration speeches after the victory was won and to carry off all the honors of the fight, except those claimed by tin corporations. The Hastings people, in reality, had no part in the stirring af fairs of the past few weeks hut to obey those Democrats in whose hands the) were placed by the leaders. "There is no need of a leader for Tam many Hall," says ex-Mayor Grant, of New York, "no necessity for an indi vidual head or so-called boss.

While Theorizing with a Friend on the Holme 9 Cases He Allows Him self To Be Shut in an Iron Vault and Vas Removed In an Uncon scious Condition. Chicago, Aug. 2.—Walter Barnes and Frank Williams were theorizing on the Holmes' case Saturday night while sit ting in the rear part of O. A. Henla & Company's jewelry store, 570 West Madison street. All the grewsome de tails hail been recalled one by one and the conversation became decidedly inter- I esting to both young men. It finally assumed the form of ail argument over the merits of the different methods sup posed to have been employed by the ter rible Holmes in doing away with his numerous victims. Barnes said lie had heard that the feeling while being smoth ered to death was not as bail as drown ing, and his curiosity led him to sug gest to Williams that he (Barnes) would enter the vault and have the door shut just a little while, you know—and that ho would tell how it seems to a man who is about to be smothered. Tlie Door Would Not Budge. Williams was nothing loth to try the experiment suggested by Barnes, and so the latter climbed into the big steel box. and curled up in the shallow vacancy between the row of drawers and the door. The heavy door swung shut and Williams pulled the lover that forces it into its jamb. He did not pull the lever clear over, but lie pulled it so far that when he heard Barnes faintly calling for him to open the door a few minutes later it could not be moved. Williams jerked and tugged at the door, while the sweat came out all over him. He heard Barnes begging for his release in barely audible tones, and strained every muscle to move the door. But it remained as firm as Gibraltar ami Williams shouted for help. Too Weak To Bo Hoard. O. A. Ilesla heard the call from a back room in the store and in a moment he was pulling with Williams upon the doorhandle. The jeweler saw that no ' two men could move the door, and rushed wildly out on the sidewalk. Hi returned with half a dozen strong men anil began an assault upon the vault door. A rope was fastened upon the handle, and everybody pulled. The door would not budge a hair's breadth. A crowbar was found somewhere and a vain attempt was made to pry the door ! open. "Are you there yet, Walter?" i Frank Williams asked, too badly scared to know what he was saying. Barnes could make no reply. Unconscious When Released. He had been locked in twenty-five minutes and was sadly in need of a breath of fresh air, when Mr. Hesla grabbed a wrench and began to unfasten the nuts that held the lever on the door. I t was the work of but a few moments and then with a mighty pull on the rope the door came open. Barnes was lifted out of the vault unconscious and black in the face, but he recovered before a doctor arrived. When asked how it felt ! o be smothered he made some incohe rent reply. Then he said he would go out and take a walk in the fresh air. It all turned out without the services of an undertaker being required, but this is due, Mr. Hesla explained, to the fact that Frank Williams failed to push the lever of the vault door over as far as it would go.

SI'ES THE BItnoKLYN CU R. Con Lucid Objects To Paying a Fine of Fifty Dollars. I New York, Aug. o.—Con Lucid, who received last Tuesday his ton days' no tice of release from the Brooklyn club, has entered into a suit against the club to recover money duo him. To a re porter the pitcher said that after the game in Philadelphia, in which he pitched and the Brooklyns were defeated. Mr. Byrne approached him anil handed him a notice of release. The president asked him to join the Philadelphia team at once, which he refused to do. On Saturday, Lucid said, after all the play ers had been paid off, Mr. Byrne called him into his private office and told him he had been fined SSO for drunkenness while in Chicago. Lucid denied the charge, und yesterday instructed his lawyer to bring suit against the club to recover the money. Lucid said that while in Chicago he was attacked with a hemorrhage and the next day he was sont in to pitch, although very weak. He said he was also put on to pitch against the St. Louis team when lie was physically unable to do good work, and he merely tossed the ball over the plate. Lucid will sign a contract with the Philadelphias to-day and will join them on the Oth. TWO GREAT PLANTS WELDED. Baldwin Locomotive Works and Wcslinghouso Company Unite.

RUINED BY PIE. Love for This Pastry Barred Illn Ont of the Pulpit and Drove Illm to Forgery. A most singular case is now in the courts at Kingston, in this state. A young man living there was lately found to be a forger, and when he con fessed he said he was driven to the crime by an ungovernable gluttony for mince pie. To satisfy his craving he had forged the signature of a wealthy man to a note for one thousand dollars, aad had got the paper discounted, says the Buffalo Courier. With the proceeds he went on a mince-pie spree, ami had devoured sixty dollars' worth of this pastry before he was arrested. According to his story his extraordi nary liking for mince pie began to show itself when he was a boy. He seemed even then to feel that there was something abnormal in his appe tite, for he went voluntarily to Bloom ingdale asylum in the hope of being cured of his gluttony. After he came out he believed ho was cured and be gan to study for the ministry. But in a fatal hour, about two years later, the mania for pie came upon him with irresistible power. He broke into the housekeeper's closet in the Auburn Theological seminary, where he was a student, and gorged himself with inince pic. His relapse so preyed upon him that he went to the faculty, and they advised him, he says, to drop his studies, as it would b det rimental to the ministerial call ing for him to enter it with such a fatal appetite for mince pie. He would be likely to suffer a seizure of his mania at a supper in the church parlors or at the table of one of his flock, and create an unforgetable scandal. Ho took the advice of the faculty and went to peddling clothes-wringers and bed springs, but his malady was now so deep seated that he subordinated everything to his craving. Ho devel oped an unusual cunning for stealing inince pie, or in getting the money with which to purchase it. "I would be tempted," said he, "and fall; go to a restaurant and eat a pie and a half or two pies. I became as helpless a vic tim to the mince pie habit as the drunk ard is to the drink habit. Sometimes I have pawned my overcoat or my watch when I have seen an uncommonly luscious pie iu a window and have not had enough ready money to buy it." Then came the forging of the note and the pie orgy which ended in his ar rest. After hearing his story a com mission was appointed to inquire into his sanity, and it is likely that, in stead of being sent to a penitentiary, he will he placed in a lunatic asylum. He is described as a thin, uervous-1 mik ing man with a wild expression, which Is disappointing, for many a man of New England ancestry would be glad to cultivate this lunacy if it would not spoil his complexion and keep him {iwake nights. fIOW WOMEN'S WHEELS DEVELOP Only a Few Yearn Ago Manufacture™ Would Not Make Them. It affords the pioneer women cyclers ao little amusement and satisfaction to recall the days when bicycle manufac turers, in reply to requests for women's wheels, would say with emphasis: 4 We have never manufactured a wom an's wheel and we never will." In those early days of wheeling, bicycles for American women were imported from England. One woman who had never seen a bicycle, but had read of them and was possessed of the true wheeling spirit, bought one of these aumbrous machines. It had wheels ;hirty inches high, weighed over fifty pounds, had a solid tiro and cost one hundred and forty dollars. The first ride of the owner upon this machine of solid weight and worth covered ten miles, and produced a sprained ankle, i black eye and an entirely demolished gown. The rider's spirit was unbroken, however, and, after a rest of two weeks, she mounted again and rode to victory. In these days of teachers, trainers and countless comfortable ap pliances, it is refreshing to know of these Spartan achievements. While many women ride diamond frames and an increased number will doubtless continue to do so, the radical differences between a man's wheel and a woman's will always be the drop frame. When the bicycle is regarded simply as a vehicle and not as a toy or machine for display, the majority of women will probably wear skirts. A short skirt of sensible length avoids the actual danger of entanglement in chain or pedals. Still the inventor who can find any method of placing the chain under cover in a drop frame, without adding to the weight of the wheel, will meet a "long-felt want." Along this line the especial development of the woman's machine must come. Out of the multitude of counselors is finally coming wisdom on the subject of woman's bicycle dress. The latest results attained enable a rider to go fitted for any kind of weather. She may start in low shoes, heavy woolen stockings, knickerbockers and light weight silk blouse on a hot summer morning, with a soft, round felt hat or cap with visor to protect her eyes. She can also carry a small package, and, if it rains, take from that package a jacket with square revers, which button hack on themselves or across each other. The jacket, knickerbockers and cap are all rainproof. If it grows colder she may don leggins and skirt of a length above the ankles, also rainproof. Thus equipped, the can defy the elemcntst The greatest stress should be placed upon a jacket which will cover the chcs. and protect the lungs if necessary. Ilcr Only Chance. On the corner of two Boston streets a young man was peering through a sur veyor's leveling instrument and making signals to his partner, who stood in front of the schoolhouse above. A little girl, coming from out the school house later than her mates, caught sight of the instrument, smoothed out her dress and posed in front of it. A big police man came along. 41 Move on, little one," said he. "I can't," simpered the child. "Don't you see I'm getting my picture took?" ARE NOT FOR RICHES. Heads of the Catholic Church Are Not Wealthy Men. Few of Them Hare Paid Much Attention to tho Accumulation of Money— Some Who Have an Eye to DuslneHß. The late Cardinal Manning was wont to say that the proper way for a priest or bishop to die was without money and without debts. The great English prelate followed out bis own teachings in this respect, and it has been the usual rule with American bishops also. Few, if any, of them have died pos sessed of any personal fortune, al though the opportunity to amass wealth was often present. llere in New York, saj's the Herald, for in stance, the late Archbishop Hughes and Cardinal McCloskey could, if they had been so disposed, have easily ac cumulated fortunes through specula tions or investments. Neither had any thing to bother him at his demise. The late Archbishop W r ood, of Philadelphia, was noted for his ability as a financier, having large experience in business be fore he entered the ministry. All his talent in this direction was exercised to improve the diocesan property. He left nothing of his own. The pioneer bishop of Brook lj'n, Rt. Rev. John Loughlin, was famous for his shrewd foresight of real estate values. He se cured property all over the city in tho best sites long before the city limits en hanced their value. With the resources at his command he could have easily been a millionaire. All ho disposed of in his will wns his watch and a set of old spoons, which he gave to his sister. A year before his death the people of Brooklyn gave him a purse of twenty five thousand dollars at the celebration of his sacerdotal jubilee. With this money he paid off the debts of some of the charitable institutions. The only modern prelate on record who tried to make money was the late Archbishop Purc.ell, of Cincinnati, who started a banking annex to the Episcopal palace. What a disastrous failure it was need not be recapitulated here. Yet it was his brother more than the archbishop that was to blame in the matter, and the object of the scheme was not for personal gain. It was a means udopted to better the resources of the diocese to meet the demands of the increasing population for churches and priests. Of the present members of the hier archy of the United States Archbishop Ireland, "the consecrated blizzard" of St. Paul, is probably the wealthiest. His personal fortune comes from land investments made before the marvelous growth of the western cities near his home and from railroad enterprises in which he had been included bj' the in timate and powyful friends he has among the western trunk line mag nates. According to his admirers, the bulk of his income goes to the poor mis sions and churches that form no incon siderable part of his province. Arch bishop Corrigan has a modest patri mony from his father's estate. It is doubtful if be has increased it from the salary of his office, which, as has al ready been explained, is well balanced by tho demands continually made on it. He is now much interested in the completion of the new diocesan sem inary near Yonkers. His personal con tribution to it is the erection of the chapel of the institution. This will probably cost him seventy-five thou sand dollars. Cardinal Gibbons does not get a very large income from the small diocese of Baltimore. It is well known that ho hesitated for some time about accepting the red hat, for the reason thnt he was too poor to incur the very considerable expense that ac companied such an honor. Archbishop Williams, of Boston.whose name has more than once been men tioned for a second liat, has also given this reason for a refusal. The other day ho commemorated his sacerdotal jubilee, and one of the gifts from his admiring subjects was a check for fifty thousand dollars. Perhaps ho may now see his way to an acceptance of a seat in the senate of the church, where, it is said, the pope desires to have him. Archbishops Feehan, of Chicago; Riordan, of San Francisco; Gross, of Oregon; Ryan, of Philadel phia; Chapollc, of Santa Fe; Ivatzer, of Milwaukee; Janssens, of New Orleans, and Ilennessy, of Dubuque, are all comparatively poor men. There is not a money spinner among them. Arch bishop Elder, of Cincinnati, has a con siderable reputation as a financial ex ecutive, but all his energies have been spent in getting tho diocese out of the tangle into which the Purcell disaster threw its affairs. Related to the Qnecn. Victoria, queen of Great Britain and empress of India, has just given her royal and parental consent to one of her relatives entering upon a profes sional career In order to earn his living on the public stage. In an English paper the following business-like an nouncement appears among the court news: "A member of the queen's fam ily is about to go on the stage as a pro fessional singer. Countess Valda Glei ehen, the daughter of the late Prince Victor of Ilolienlohe, tho queen's nephew, more remarkable for her voice than her pocketbook, finds herself com pelled to make her own living by sing Tho Ncwly-Rlch. Wealth and ignorance sometimes go hand in hand. To a jewelry store in a small town there drove up one day a handsomely dressed lady, who entered, and, ufter some preliininarj' flourishes, asked for a dozen souvenir spoons. "A dozen souvenir spoons?" repeated the clerk, in natural surprise. "Yes," re plied the lady, piacidlj', "a dozen sou venir spoons—to eat souvenirs with, you know. My daughter makes beau tiful souvenirs." The clerk turned pale, and exhibited a tray of orange spoons, on a venture. She selected a dozen and carried them away, and the clerk is still wondering what she really wanted. Anthracite coal used exclusively, insuring cleanliness and comfort.
