firms which had raised wages, the num

"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

workman's home. A neat cottage will
be built at a cost of less than 91,000, and
in it a workingman and family of four
children will live on a scale of 9500 a
year. 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. That

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.

NEARLY COST HIS' LIFE
Barnes Knows How It Feels
To Be Smothered.
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.

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

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,"

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.

OUR MINERAL RESOURCES.
AI.AIIAMA, Michigan, Pennsylvania,
New York, Minnesota and Wisconsin
produce over four-fifths of the iron
manufactured in this country.
I.N the production of steel the United
States stands first, largely exceeding
the output of Great Britain, and being
nearly double that of Germany.
IN 181)0 our product of natural gas
was estimated at 552,150,000 cubic feet,
displacing for heating and illuminating
purposes at least 9,774,417 tons of coal.
TIIE lime produced lu 1891 was esti
mated at 00,000,000 barrels, equal to
oue to each inhabitant, male and fe
male, old ami young, and was valued
at $05,000,000.
IN 1800 the United States proditced
$.13,845,000 of gold. Of this total a lit
tle over two-fifths came from Cali
fornia, which is still the principal gold
producing state.
