FREELAND, SEPTEMBER 2, 181)5. 1
Hero is the frank tribute which the
lowa Republican state platform pays
the Democratic policy of tariff reform:
"We congratulate the people of the
country upon tin- evidence of returning
prosperity, and rejoice in each instance
of labor re-employed, wages restored and i
industry re-established upon a prosper
ous basis."
When a dead whale came ashore at
Santa Monica, California, recently, and
failed to attract the attention it deserv
ed, the Southern Pacilic Railway Com
pany invested SSO In advertising, at
tracted 40.000 visitors from Los Angeles,
and took in $20,000. Every city has its
dead whale, which only needs judicious
handling to convert it to economic ends j
In fact, almost every large store has !
dead or dying whales upon its hands at i
every turn of the seasons. The South- j
cm Pacilic Railway Company has shown
the way to deal with them.
A contemporary says that newspaper
subscriptions are infallible tests of men's
honesty. They will sooner or later dis
cover the man. If lie is dishonest he
will cheat the printer some way—says
he has paid what he bus not —declares I
that he has a receipt somewhere—or |
sent money and it was lost in the mail ;
—or will take the paper and not pay for \
it on the ground that he did not subscribe
for it—or moved off leaving it come to
the office ho left. Thousands of pro- ;
fessod Christians are dishonest in this '
particular at least, and the printers*
books will tell fearful tales in the final
judgement.
Time brings changes. Under the
federal election laws, repealed by a
Democratic congress, one John I. Daven- |
port, as United States supervisor of
elections for the city of New York, was
for many years a sortof Republican joss. !
He always had money to spend. Things '
have not gone so easily with him since
he lost his occupation. He rented a
Washington house, hut last week the
contents were seized by a constable
because of an unpaid rent bill of sooo.
It is not right to rejoice at anybody's
misfortunes, but there are lots of people
who would find it very difficult to he
sorry for John I. Davenport's troubles, j
There are but a few days more than j
two months until election day. and yet
the Republicans are making no greater
headway in Luzerne than they did the
day after their ticket was nominated.
The disaffected districts have been given
a very large representation on the
county committee, but if the scheme to
placate them in that manner works no
better elsewhere than it does here the
sop-givers will gain nothing by loading
down the committee list with name-.
Frecland Republicans are not so easily
led up to the enthusiasing point as the :
leaders think. Placing several promi
nent people, on the county committee i
will not make victory sure this year.
This Is the way last week's contest is
viewed by the New York Advertiser , a
prominent Republican paper:*' The
triumph of Senator Quay in his strug
gle for mastery of the Pennsylvania
Republican convention is an event of
more than local significance. It is some
thing more than a signal vindication of j
the prowess and force <>f Senator Quay
as a political loader, it, implies some
thing besides the political downfall of
Governor Hastings and a stinging rebuff
for Mayor Warwick and David Martin.
It means that the Pennsylvania dclega- j
tion to tho next Republican national j
convention will be controlled by Matthew
Stanley Quay and that it. will oppose the
nomination of Benjamin Harrison seems 1
to he more certain at present than the
strict fulfillment of this prediction."
Ex-Governor Gulich. of Arizona, who I
has been spending the summer on lie-
Atlantic coast., is at the capital. Speak
ing of national polities, our Washington
correspondent reports him as saying:
"In my judgement the strongest j
man the Democratic party can have at
the head of Its ticket is Ex-Secretary
William Whitney. With such a lead
er we can carry New York, New Jersey,
and Connecticut beyond a doubt. The
first two will he won by Democracy this
year, according to present indications.
These three states are still essential to
the success of tie- Democratic party. Ii
Is folly, this talk about letting the east
go oild forming an alliance with the west.
Jt is a snare and a delusion. The south
cannot afford to alienate its oldtilne ai- ;
lies for the sake of a doubtful coalition
with western commonwealths of populis
tic tendencies. Tli ire is not hing to
gain by such a combination. The right
programme is to stick to New York.
Now Jersey and Connecticut. Here is
the battle ground in lspff, as it lias been
in tho past, and here the Democratic j
ticket can conquer every time."
The Pneu-Mntic Woman.
Among 1 other disasters incident to
bicycle riding may be numbered a
broken engagement. Hones, nay, even
necks, hare been smashed in the good
cause of "scorching," but it remained
for u prejudiced young man to break
his troth because his fiancee appeared
before him in a daisy pair of "bloom
ers." The costume proved too much
for him, and ho ordered the young lady
to dismount at once and retire in good
order to the seclusion of her apartment,
where Bhe should instantly resume her
badge of slavery, skirts, or their in
tended marriage would not take place,
as he drew the line at bloomers on a
bike. Did this injunction dismay her?
Not a bit, for she was a "pneu" woman
in every sense, so, merely drawing off
her diamond ring, she handed it to the
sensitive young man with the observa
tion that she should not discard
"bloomers" for him or anyone else.
Friends of both parties say nothing
will ever reconcile them, for which so
ciety ought to be thankful, as it doubt
less makes one less'divorce case later on.
Duties of Congressmen.
A Massachusetts member of congress
in entire seriousness recounts his own
idea of the duties of one in his position
as follows: "The oillce of a member of
congress is principally a great business
office, looking after river and harbor
improvements for his district, public
buildings, post office accommodations,
railway mail service, lighthouse and
life-saving services, and to see that
friendly and not hostile tariff legisla
tion is enacted, to say nothing about
the soldiers and their widows entitled
to pensions, the distribution of seeds
and public documents to which the dis
trict is entitled." Daniel Webster and
Charles Sumner did not exactly pattern
their efforts to achieve usefulness and
attain fame in this way, but the reply
will probably be made that we are not
living in Webster and Sumner times.
A FUNNY incident occurred in Bos
ton the other afternoon. Two cyclists,
man und woman, met unexpectedly, j
The woman did not turn to the right
and the man ran straight into her I
wheel, upsetting both. They scrambled ,
to their feet, righted their bikes and !
glared at each other for half a second. !
Then the man coolly slapped the worn- |
an's face, and, jumping on his wheel, '
rolled away with lightning speed. An
eye-witness of the scene was ungullant !
enough to applaud the act, for, lie said, i
it was deserved. Who will deny that j
the bicycle is a leveler of the sexes?
MORE than thirty men and women !
were murdered in the city of San Fran- i
cisco in the twelve months ending with
June this year. Several of these were
decided to be cases of justiliable homi- j
cide, but in twenty-seven cases the cor
oner's jury returned a verdict of willful !
murder. For these twenty-seven mur
ders only four persons have so far been
punished by law, and those four have
escaped with terms of imprisonment.
The rest of the murderers are awaiting
trial, have been acquitted, have es
caped, or are dead. San Francisco has
the record.
"No, WE don't pal much with the |
Americans," said an English sailor at
Kiel. "You see, they are a mixed lot.
They're Swedes and Norwegians and
niggers, but I never met a sailor who
was a real American, and so we don't '
pal with them, although we have notli- j
ing against them." A genuine Amer- !
lean must be a scarce article in those j
parts. Probably when they strike Eng
land they disguise themselves with a
monocle and a drawl and pass them- I
selves off for Britishers.
STEAM railroads have not yet crowded '
the prairie schooner entirely out, even i
though the steam engine seems to be !
threatened by the electric motor. A
few days ago a train of five schooners j
from northern Kansas arrived at Walla !
Walla, Wash., bound for the Great Pa
louse. Two families of immigrants oc- i
cupied the wagons, and the outfit had
been on the road ever since last April, i
IT has been clearly demonstrated
that the bloomers worn by the wheel
women of to-day have their uses be
yond those of lightness and conven
ience in wheeling. A lady who is sum
mering at a Connecticut waterside
village wore hers while boating one
day recently, and accidentally fulling
overboard was buoyed up by her baggy
trousers until help arrived.
A NEW law has just gone into force
in Yankton, 8. I)., by which the length
of residence necessary in order to pro
cure a divorce has been reduced to
seven months. It is said that a hust
ling eastern man has visited many at
torneys in that place, and has made a
proposition to furnish them with di
vorce clients for a liberal percentage.
ALTHOUGH comparatively little has
been said of the immigration Into tho
south this year, it has been the largest
ever known. The movement is not
confined to any state, and the older
ones, as, for instance, Georgia, arc re
ceiving thousands of new settlers.
DUKIXO the year ended June 30 last
three hundred and sixty-one American
vessels were lost—eighty-five steam ves
sels and two hundred and seventy-six
sailing ships, barges, and the like.
AN Alabama paper says that state

The Confessions of a Railway
Millionaire.
HIS PLUCK AND SHREWD SENSE.

the Fnglißh Lord and the Fierce (Shirk
(Scar.
[Copyright, 1895.]
"Tho Confessions of a Millionaire"
would boa very good titlofor tho littlo
story which I will write of my talk with
Congressman Haines of New York. Mr.
Haines is a famous builder of and specu
lator in steam and street railways. "It is
odd," ho began, "how a small thing will
change a man's whole career. My father
was a boot and shoe manufacturer aiul
had a telegraph instrument in his offico.
I picked up a knowledge of that instru
ment almost unconsciously, and it was on
account of this knowledge that I got into
tho railroad business. At 14, I was offered
and accepted employment as a telegraph
operator on the Hudson River railroad.
When I was 18, anot her lucky chance hap
pened mo. Jay Gould gave mo a commis
sion to buy a piece of property, and I was
so successful in it that he made mo general
manager. At 25 I was president of a rail
way company, probably tho youngest pres
ident in tho country. It is a good story
how I happened to become president of
this road, and I will tell it.
"In looking about mo I conceived tho
idea that if a certain railroad, which wo
will call the D. and H., were extended ten
miles in order to connect with another
road it would bccomo n vastly moro valua
ble property. The road was owned by a
well known railway magnate, who was ex
ceedingly difficult to get at. Despairing
of securing an interview with him in any
other way, I wrote a letter of introduc
tion for myself and signed it with my own
name. Tho ruse worked, and I obtained
an audience. I told him I had a railroad
to sell him, and wo talked a long time. I
explained to him the advantages of the
road and how it could ho built up by sim
ply extending it ten miles. Every few
minutes he asked mo to naino tho road,
MINISTER RANSOM,
bub I kept standing him off on this till at
length I could do so no longer. 'lt is the
1). andß.,' I said. 'Why, I own that road,' |
ho exclaimed in a rather puzzled way. 1
'Get out of hero, you young rascal! How |
dare you come in here and take my time i
for an hour talking about selling tome my !
own railroad?' 'Not so fast,'l retorted. I
'I have adopted this method of getting you
interested in the proposed extension of the
line for your own good.' Ho was still
pretty hot, but cooled off by degrees while i
I poured the facts and figures into him,
and the upshot of it was that he agreed to
extend the read ten miles and make mo
manager of the lino.
"Once I heard of a road that was to ho j
sold because the owner was short of cash
and in other trouble. It was a street rail- j
way and was doing a good business, i
though baldly managed. I did not luivo
cash enough within my control to make j
the first payments required, bub concluded
to go and see ai capitalist ill a neighboring i
town, at mam who sometimes took a filer in j
such properties, and see if I couldn't in- j
(luce him to go in with me. I told him all
about the road, how much business it was i
doing, how much better it could do under ,
butter nmnaigement and so on. I thought |
1 had him, but he tinailly saiid lie would '
have to taiko time in which to consider. I
'But. this offer only holdsgood ai few days,' |
I explained. 'lt is ai bargaiin, and we get
it only because the owner must have reauly
cash. It must he closed ait once, or we lose
it.' Notwithstanding this appeal ho de
cided not to invest, and I went away feci- j
ing pretty blue, for I knew the real value !
of the property and was sure it would
prove a rich investment.
"In the seait next to mo in the train on '
my way home were two young men. I
overheard a good ileail of their conversa
tion. It turned out that one of these men
was on his waiy to investigate the condi-
tion of the very road I h;ul boon talking
about, and 1 bud my own opinion ax to 1
who had scut him. It was plain ouough
| to mo that tlio capitalist who had declined j
to go in with mo had decided to look into
the road, audit' everything was found as
: represented to buy the property himself, ;
leaving mo out in the cold. I thought tho
ease over and decided upon a plan of ac- 1
tion.
"When we reached tho city, I picked up
two smart boys whom I know, pointed
out my man to them and gave them their
instructions. They were to bo paid $lO
each for their services. I knew the first
tiling the agent would do was to take a
trip or two over tho lino to note its condi
j tion. After that ho would talk to tho su
j perintondent or owner. My boys had or-
I ders to keep an eye cm the agent, and to
1 board a street car whenever he did. The j
ears were all equipped with cashboxes,
there being no conductors. As luck would
have it, he started out on his trip at a mo
ment when trallic was dull, and ho had
not gone more than a block until one of
my bo.vs jumped on, and pursuant to my
orders, instead of simply paying one fare,
dropped a half dollar's worth of dimes and
nickels in tho cashbox. Farther up the
lino my other boy got on and did tho same
thing. Oil tho return trip both boys did i
tho trick again, and finally I stepped
aboard and dropped a lot of small change
in tho box, pretending that I did not want
any one to see mo do it. On arrival at the
end of tho road tho stranger made a bee
lino for the telegraph ofllce and sent this ,
dispatch to his principal:
" 'Will be home tonight. Property no ;
good. They are smiling tho receipts.'
"My little game worked to a charm. I
The capitalist had actually begun negotia
tions by wire with the owner of tho prop
erty, but hauled off and would have noth
ing more to do with it as soon as ho re- j
coivod tho report of his agent. When I
learned that this big capitalist was o
my way, I took what cash I had and si.
eroded in making a deal with the ha.'
pressed owner. The property turned out
regular gold mine for me."
An English Lord and a Black Bear.
Congressman Robertson of Louisiana
who is himself a great hunter in the cane
brakos and along the gulf coast, tells
good story on Mr. lhinsom, our ministo
to Mexico, an English lord and a bluel
bear. The lord had como over for the pur
pose of enjoying the hospitality of tli
south and having a good hunt. Mr. Ran
soin, then a United States senator, wa
his host and was determined the English
man should not bo disappointed in citlio!
expectat ion. The visitor's fondest desiri
was to kill a bear before returning toEng
land, and Mr. Ransom promised him hit
ambition should be gratiiled. So a hum
was arranged in the mountain region Oi
North Carolina. The Englishman wal
dressed up iu a faultless sporting rig. He
had checked knickerbockers, gaiters,
peaked cap and a monocle. RansSu anc
his guest, with a trusty follower who was
a dead shot, set out with a pack of hounds
In an hour tho dogs started up three bears
—a mother and her two cubs. Ransom
and the lord followed tho pack after the
mother hear and came upon her just as she
was finishing tho last of tho dogs. She
made a rush at her human foes as if she
would eat them also, greatly to tho Eng
lishman's consternation, but the senaloi
shot her in short order. He wanted to give
his guest the shot, hut the circumstances
were not congenial to delay and politeness.
In a few moments a shot was heard, and
Ransom knew that one of thocubs had hit
tho dust, for his man never missed Arc.
Tho question was then how to get a hear
for tho lord. Only ono of tho trio remained,
and tho dogs were in hot pursuit of him,
judging from their cries. The senator pro
posed to remain by tho body of tho mother
hear while tho lord and the man followed
tho dogs after the remaining cub. Tho at
tendant was quietly ordered to givo the
lord tho shot, even if tho bear wore to get
away. Ransom strolled around, listening
to the pack howling on tho* trail, when lie
chanced to look up, and there was tho cub
in a tree but a few feet away. His first
impulse was to shoot; but, remembering
the consuming desire of his guest to havo
tho honor of killing a bear, he ran after
the lord and shouted to him to make haste.
At this tlio bear started to come down out
of tho tree, and Ransom was in a quail- !
dary. If lie shot the bear, tho lord's heart
would lie entirely broken; if he didn't
shoot, tho animal would get away.
At this critical juncture a happy inspi
ration cumo to the sonutor. After vainly.j
endeavoring to push tho young cub hack
up the treo with his gun ho whipped off
his hunting belt, threw it about tho bear's
fore feet and tied them securely to the
tree. Then ho cut a piece of grapevine
near by with his knife and tied the hind
legs in the samo manner. Of course the
hear wriggled to get away and was just
about to mako his escape when, as luck
Would have it, the Englishman came up
hot and excited. "Givo it to him! Givo
it to him!" cried Ransom, who had backed
away, and tho lord lot drive into tho poor
little bear's body. Delighted that his vic
tim did not run away, lie fired a second
shot, and while tho attendant was cutting
away tho grapevine and the holt Senator
Ransom was wringing the hand of his
guest and tendering his congratulations
on the shooting of tho first hear. A few
years later Mr. Ransom visited England
and heard many stories of tho hunting
feats of this particular lord, who was
looked up to as quite a hero because ho
had killed a hear in America.
A Frontier Jury.
A good story of frontier life is told by
Congressman Drodorick of Kansas. Mr.
Brodcrick was a lawyer out in Jackson
county, his state, when that county bad
only lot) voters. The lawyers used to drive
about from tho house of one justice of tho
peace to that of another trying cases.
"Once I hail a case of obtaining money
under falso protonsos," said Mr. Brudcrick, j
"and it was stubbornly fought on both !
sides. After a trial running through two
days tho jury retired to a lumbor shed on
the justice's farm. They were out several
hours, so long that we all thought they
would surely report a disagreement. Sud
denly wo heard a tremendous noiso in the
shed. Boxes and barreds wore apparently
being knocked about, and every one sup
posed tho jury had gotten into a free fight.
The just ice and all tho lawyers rushed for
ward to quell the insurrection, when the
door opened and the jury walked out in
good order. Our fears were instantly
changed to amusement.. A verdict of not
guilty was reported, much to the surprise
of every one present, even the lawyer for
the defense. It turned out that tho jury
had disagreed from the start, and after n
number of ineffectual efforts to get togeth
er some one had suggested deciding the
case by moans of a wrestling match. Each
side selected a champion, and inasmuch as
the man who represented those who favor
ed acquittal proved a better wrestler than
tho other fellow the verdict was rendered
in favor of tho defendant.

A Singular Fact.
A singular fact is recorded in Tho Moni
tour Industrial—namely, that on tho shores
of Brittany, between St. Malo and St. Lu
naire, in tho vicinity of tho St. Knogat
station, at a place called Port Blanc, the
tides have lately displaced a considerable
amount of wind, say to a depth of some 9
to IB foot. Accompanying this remarkable
phenomenon is the fact that forests known
to have been buried for periods covering
some 18 or 2b centuries have now been
brought to light, and a vast forest lias, it
appears, been discovered in process of
transformation into coal; ferns and the
trunks and barks of trees are to be seen in
an advanced state of decomposition, being
already beyond thope.it formation, show- !
ing, in fact, the films and flakes which are
found in coal, and, while some of the j
trunks are 16 foot in length and still very
distinct , they are becoming rapidly trans
formed.
Dentil by Spontaneous Combustion.
They that laugh at death by spontaneous
combustion and poke fun at Dickens and
Captain Marryat for their "fantastic" do- I
script ion should ponder thought fully the .
experiment made lately by an ingenious
Frenchman. He procured the body of an
authenticated dipsomaniac, bored a hole in :
the skull and applied thereto tho flame of !
a candle. Wild was his joy so that he 1
leaped nimbly in the air when tho gas from
tho brain caught fire immediately and
burned balefully for r.omo time with a
bluish light.—Boston Journal.
Funny Itotli Ways.

SOLDIERS' MONUMENT.
Erected at Louisville, Ky., In Honor of
the Confederate Dead.
The monument to confederate dead,
erected under the auspieies of the Ken
tucky Women's Monument association,
was dedicated at Louisville, July 30.
The shaft., situated at the intersection
e,f Third street and the boulevard at D
irtrcet, is the result of fifteen years'
labor on the part of the women of the
state, who raised upwurd of 120,000 for
the purpose. It was a proud day in
their lives when their tribute of love
CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS' MONUMENT IN
LOUISVILLE.
and affection for the lost cause was
completed and raised on its pedestal
ready for the unveiling.
The day had been declared a half hol
iday by Maj'or Tavlor. About the
monument a great crowd gathered.
The dedication was preceded by a
parade of several thousand confederate
veterans, escorted by the Louisville Le
gion of the State Guard. The oration
was delivered by Gen. Basil IV. Duke,
brother-in-law of Gen. John 11. Mor
gan, and one of his staff. His remarks
went deeply to the hearts of the white
haired veterans who stood beside him,
and there was scarcely a man among
them who did not shed a tear as the old
times were recalled.
The shaft rises to the height of fifty
feet above a hexagonal base fifteen feet
square. The base is broken into a
flight of three steps. It is crowned
with the figure of a soldier, at "parade
rest," in confederate regimentals. The
words "confederate memorial" stand
out just above the top step and are
flanked on one side by a figure of an
artiller3'inan with raised swab, and on
the other side by an officer about to
draw his sword. Sculptured cannon
bulls make a ring about the shaft just
above their heads. Under this warlike
necklace is the emblem and motto of
tho confederate states of America.
FINE MASONIC TEMPLE.
Soon to Be Erected at St. Louis by the
Brethren of the Craft.
St. Louis is to have a new Masonic
Temple and it will be a credit to the
order in Missouri and the city. An or
ganization has been formed by the
leading local masons called the Masons'
Building association, and they have
had plans drawn for a building to cost
8350,000. The association has for its
officers the following prominent citi
zens: Isaac M. Mason, president; V. O.
Saunders, vice president; 11. A. Blos

lard, P. J. Prosser, John Hrocnough
and J. L. Emits. Four thousand
masons in the city of St. Louis are in
terested in the enterprise. The cap
ital stock of the association is $850,000
and it is the intention to induce every
member in the city to become a stock
holder, making use of the money held
in reserve by the subordinate lodges to
purchase stock. The site of the struc
ture has been selected in Market street
west of Twelfth, directly opposite the
new city hall. The building will be
seven stories in height and halls for
each local lodge will be provided. On
the second floor will bo a grand ball,
with banquet-room adjoining, lcitohen,
etc. The material of the walls will bo
buff brick, granite and terra cotta
trimmings. The main entrance will
open into a large auditorium with onyx
and marble walls. It is expected that
everything will be in readiness to lay
tho corner stone on October 1.
