The members of the council met on

The committee left the matter of
ding and widening the streets in the

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
EDITOR TUHUM-:.—O, how sweet and
mild and amiable the critics have been
to me! They have stood up and taken
their medicine like little men. I started
• nit. however, to paint a true picture of
the men who belie the town in the 11 a
zleton papers, and the picture is not yet
finished, nor my duty ended.
In addition to what I have said, 1 may
add that the correspondents to whom I
refer have a faculty of wearing out a
jest to the last shred and meanest grain.
Their imagination instinctively fastens
on some mark - , sign or expression of an
individual and never lot it go. for fear
of not meeting with any other means to
express him or ridicule him by. Some
of the correspondents never stop short
of the lowest and most offensive point of
meanness in satirical description of the
efforts of our council and school board.
They may have a keen sense of what is
t rue and false, hut they have not a keen
ense of the agreeable and disagreeable.
' o have a conscience of not letting any
-1 ing escape the reader that he knows
not a good recommendation for a
• wspajter correspondent. If to he wise
" re to he obstinate our friends may lay
< signal claim to this title.
To he doggedly bent upon fatiguing
the public with a favorite idea is an
•<; or of the common failings of the men
w . > a'r themsclyes in the llazleton
i ers. Indeed, many of their articles
ar full of sharp, hitingsentences against
the town of which they claim to be fond.
Au i as- for many other of the writings
• rred to. we may say, even
• HUigh wo should hold tliein to he true,
vi it is slander to set thorn down in
;:r!n; What- sensible) men might In
troduce as an accident or a mere passing
ime of the correspondents would
a I out building a whole play upon.
1- tof what wo read from Freeland
tl llazleton papers is dreary, ob
si •to and hopeless, and never a word to
ei courage the golden dreams or hopeful
- ipectations of our growing town. We
>' e often confronted with the refuse and
: obish and not a mention of the essence,
the true elixir tiU.
The men who do these writings neither
ipy our nature nor our life; neither
■ int. the matter nor represent the opera
•us of our intellect. It would he vio
nce done to a man's conscience to dis
ver the object of much of what is
written about Freeland, its industries
ud its government. Much of the niys
i cal writings we see in the llazleton
papers read like riddles or an allegory.
Their chief aim is to make you wonder
•ti the writer, not to interest you In the
• ibject; and by an incessant craving
t'ter admiration, they have lost what
FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1897.
they might have gained with less ex
travagance and affectation.
Is it wonderful then that Freeland
people speak feelingly of the misapplica
tion of the gonitis of these correspon
dents? The complaint so often made,
and hero repeated, is not the want ol
power in tlieso men, but the waste of it;
not the absence of genius in some of
them, but the abuse of it. A writer can
be sportive in irony, if lie will, yet lie
should never trespass on modesty.
Mr. Editor, there is no valid excuse
for the silly nonsense wo see so much
indulged in from Freeland. There are
other and more benelicial lines for news
paper correspondents to follow. Will
they do It? The town, is heart-sick of
the pessimists and scolds; weary of the
incessant pen-pictures of gloom and
despair, and anxious for rest and a re
turn to neighborly confidence and trust.

Lutheran l'UMtoral AsHoriation.
Tho Lutheran Pastoral Association of

and .1. 11. Schmidt. Freeland. The first
business was outlines on sermons. Revs.
Wuehter, Pruning and Ebert presented
sermons on John .'l:3, on tho "Now
Birth." They were well studied and
gave, a great deal of light on that sub
ject. The rest of the morning session
was spent in reading a part of the second
chapter of tho book of Esther in the
Hebrew language.
At ? p. m. the afternoon session was
called to order, witli prayer by Rev. Carl
Ilouser. Tho greater part of this ses
sion was taken up with routine business,
of which there was considerable, and all
was well disposed of. Luther League
rallies and many other things of great
importance were treated.
After routine, other papers wore pre
sented. The first was on "Confession
and Absolution," presented by Rev.
Schmidt. Tills gave rise to a lively dis
cussion, pro and con, hut at last an
agreement was readied and it was passed
in harmony. Uov. Hitter read a paper
on "Church Discipline" and also on the
"Rights of Church Membership." This
also aroused a spirited debate for awhile.
"Church History" was given by Rev.
Iviitiiz and lasted for some time.
A vote of thanks was given the host
and hostess for kind entertainment, and
at 5 p. m. the association adj< urno!,
with tho Lord's prayer, to moot again on
Monday, July 20, at tho residence of

DRIFTON ITEMS.
Tho residents of No. 2 had bushels of
fun last night. Shortly after supper a
llazleton Hebrew peddler called at the
home of Paul Brusack, who was married
a week ago, and asked if he wanted to
buy anything. Paul replied that ho
would buy a horse, and the peddler im
mediately offered his for 5 cents. The
nickel was tendered and accepted, but
when Paul went outside to examine his
purchase the Hebrew protested and
claimed the sale was only a joke. Bru
sack failed to see the joke and with
several of his countrymen, who were
witnesses of the transaction, demanded
the animal. Failing to obtain it peace
fully, Paul invoked the aid of the law
by procuring a warrant from Squire
Shovlin.of Freeland. Tho peddler, how
over, in tlie meantime had become
alarmed at the prospect of facing a Free
laud justice, and lifting his packs from
tlie wagon carried them to the trolley
station and fled homeward on tho first
car. Brusack took possession of the
horse, leaving the harness and wagon
on the street. During the rumpus ex
citement ran high. Those who know
claim Brusack lias a good claim to tho
horse—at least lie has possession and
there are witnesses who saw liitii pay
his nickel.
Some of our bloods went to Freeland
on Tuesday night and became entangled
in a brawl about midnight. They
entered a Hungarian saloon, whore a
christening celebration was in progress,
and distributed cowhago among the
guests. When the Hungarians found
what was troubling, thoui tlioy made
tilings lively for tho jokers, and tlie
marks of tlie battle are. quite visible on
tho countenances of the latter.
William Gillespie, one of our famous
sportsmen, captured a large ground-hog
recently. On Tuesday evening he took
it to Freeland, where it was introduced
to "Fit/.," a noted bull-dog. Tho two
did not take kindly to one another's per
sonal appearance, and after a battle
royal tlie grounder was killed. Bill
mourns the loss of his pet.

struck by a Lehigh Valley freight train
early Wednesday morning near that

of the previous night here and it is said
he was intoxicated when he started for

a miracle. As it was, ho was thrown
from the track and severely cut and
bruised. He was taken to Hazleton
hospital at 0.35 a. m., and the right arm
was amputated near the elbow at that
institution. He is still in a precarious
condition.

lonely part of the town, lie eluded the

and serve four years in the Philadelphia
penitentiary.
