FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1808. Local Industrial Notes. The extensive brass works at Rlooin- Ington, Illinois, will come to town on condition that they be given the uso of 100 %cres of land and 850,000. Good security for the money and land Is promised. The works employ 2,000 men. The reason forrequlringso much ground is their intention to soil It to the em ployes and have them live near the mills. M. Schwahe will donate a large plot of land in South llcb Tton to any worthy industry desiring to locate here. He will also invest a good round sum in any first-class plant, if money Is needed to bring it to town. The success following the overall fac tory and silk mill, which are steadily In creasing their output, ought to encour age local capitalists to seek a few plants which will omploy male labor. The call for a meeting of the ltoard of Trade, to bo held last evening, was not responded to In a very creditable manner by the members. So few appeared that no meeting was held.

The petition presented by the citizens of Centralia asking that their school board be ousted was heard before Judge Herring on Tuesday.

Eisenhower was contracted with to act as principal of the borough schools for throe years. He taught one year, when a new board was elected, who refused to recognize the action of the former board and ap pointed another principal. Mr. Elisenhower brought suit for tho year's salary and obtained judgment. He applied for the position again this this year, when tho board again refused to appoint him. The school**, which should have been opened September 1, were kept closed until the present time while the question was argued pro aud con. The citizens became tired of this and last Saturday petitioned the court to oust the board and appoint their successors, which was done. Tendered a Farewell Supper. Several of tho friends of Peter J.

There were twenty bands in line and about 5,000 men in all. In the evening the anniversary was celebrated locally at Yannos' opera house by the Young Men's Corps with a very pleasant ball.

He was employed as a laborer, and while shovoling Into a car a huge lump of coal fell on his foot, badly crushing it. Ho was take to tho Miners' hospital. TREASURY BALANCES Their Manipulation In Debauchery of Our Politics—How a Beneficent Dem ocratic Law Operated to the Profit of the People and Was Surreptitiously Set Aside by the Machine —The Proof That Democrats, Wlien They Are In, Do Ileal Deform Work. The state treasury balances, whether real or fictitious, have never since 188S fallen below $3,687,035 and have gone as high as $6,679,854. According to the reports of the auditor general and state treasurer they have been, for the last ten years, as follows : 1888 $3,687,035.65 1889 3,969,587.53 1890 4,426,645.45 1891 6,679,854.55 1892 6,000.644.95 1893 5,830,308.07 1894 5,014,642.18 1895 3,429,654.07 1896 5,062,604.19 1897 5,136,700.02 Average $4,923,767.66 These are the balances at the end of each fiscal year. The monthly balances are approximately the same. No money is kept in the treasury. It is all In the banks. Here we have, therefore, an average of about $5,000,000 constantly in the favored fiscal institutions. This is so large a proportion of the total re sources of many of them that financiers say a sudden withdrawal of the whole line would create something like a panic. Indeed, that reason has more than once been put forward to stay re forms Intended to prevent the carrying of such balances, by cutting down taxes when the balances have been real, or requiring that the money be paid out when they are manufactured. When banks are without adequate money re sources of their own, depositing with them ceases to be safe. It is notorious that the machine has been In large part maintained from in terest privately paid on the deposits to its leaders. Smedley Darlington, of the collapsed West Chester bank, open ly admits that he paid such interest, and glories in it. Responding most reluctantly to popu lar protests against the outrage and de mand that -It cease, the legislature of 1897 passed the act requiring the pay ment of lVfe and 2 per cent interest to the state. The state treasurer selects the de positories with the approval of the board of revenue commissioners. The members of this board are the auditor general (Quay machlnlte) the state treasurer (Quay machinite) and the sec retary of the commonwealth (the head of the Martin machine). And since most of the depositories are with the Quay machine, it will be seen that that machine has everything in connection with this business nicely within its own control. The best possible proof that this mat ter of the state balances has been a source of unusual profit to the favored banks, and that they have been willing contributors to the support of the ma chine, in return for the favor of the deposits, abides In the fact that no word of open protest has been made against the new law (which went into operation on the first Monday In May of this year, 1898) and that there is almost as urgent a call on their part, to be per mitted to continue as depositories as ever. Possibly the law will curtail to some extent the machine gain there from, and that of the individual bene ficiaries. Rut the money is worth to the banks that carry it more than the 1% and 2 per cent they are required to pay for its use, and it may be safely assumed that the machine leaders are not unaware thereof. There are stories current In Harrisburg and elsewhere that banks have paid, as bonus to those acting as intermediaries to secure de posits, sums In excess of IV4 and 2 per cent. And, while it might be some what difficult to legally prove these al legations, no one familiar with the do ings "on the Hill" of recent years can be found to doubt their accuracy. It is the boast of the machine lead ers that the state has never been to any serious extent a loser through the fail ure of banks carrying state deposits. Where such failures hdve occurred the loss is alleged to have fallen upon the treasurers and their bondsmen, or upon the wealthy machine politicians who have afterwards felt it Incumbent upon them, or been in effect compelled, to make the treasurers and bondsmen good. The act of 1897 inaugurates a new order of things in this connection. Section 4 of the act provides that the state treasurer."shall not be held perso nally liable for any moneys that may be lost by reason of the failure or in solvency of any bank, banking institu tion or trust company, selected as aforesaid." Hereafter, therefore, burst on banks, if there be InsiifllHonrv in Purity Is Guaranteed. Hartal's beer is without doubt one of the few beverages which working people can safely drink and not suffer ill effects to their systems. It Is manufactured by people who are careful of Its ingredients and who guarantee its purity. Drink it and you will experience none of the many troubles which impure beers inflict.

CASTORIA, Bear, tbe 11* Kind You Harc Always Bought i the bank's bonds or default in their bondsmen, will mulct the treasury and the people instead of the treasurers. The act referred to is a concession to popular opinion created largely by Democratic platforms. Democratic newspapers and Democratic stump ora tors, but it is far from being as safe for and profitable to the state as was an act originating with the Democrats in 1883, and passed by the legislature of that year and approved by the then governor, Robert E. Pattlson. That act was known as the Humes' sinking fund net,and provided that when state bonds were not to be had the surplus moneys in the sinking fund should be invested in United States bonds. It was the cus tom in those days to carry the big end of the balances in the sinking fund, presumably because, when moneys go into that fund, there is no legal way of getting them out again, except to pay the state's bonded debt, and having large sums there insured large sums for distribution among the banks. There were about $2,500,000 then In the sink ing fund, and not quite as much in the general fund. Senator Humes (Demo crat) the father of the act, pointed out that $2,000,000 of the sinking fund bal ance, which was not needed to take up bonds, could be utilized to save the state during the term the bonds then out standing had to run from one to three and a half millions. The bill was fierce ly fought by the retainer,s of the Re publican machine in both houses, and did not pass the lower body until the night before the adjournment, when it did not have a single vote to spare. However, as already stated, it was signed by Governor Pattlson and be came a law. For eight years It remain fd in operation, and It is the testimony, both of those who had to do with the execution of the act and of the books, that it operated largely to the advan tage of the treasury. It brought the state considerably more than 1% or 2 per cent on its moneys that would oth erwise have been farmed out to the banks gratis, and it involved absolute ly no possibility of loss. Its repeaf*was not actual, but vir tual. It was not manly, but tricky, after the manner of all the doings of the machine. In 1891 legislation was had largely lessening the flow of money into the sinking fund, so that there re mained in that fund practically nothing to be Invested under the Humes act. This was not because the balances car ried were any less. In fact, they were larger In that year and the year fol lowing than ever before or since. But they were kept mainly In the general fund, and the bs nlcs got them again, and the machine treasury and the ma chlneitos reveled correspondingly. Here we have the convincing proofs that, when the Democrats are in, they do real reform work, and that the great ado recently made in so-called independent reform circles touching the debauchery of our politics through ma nipulation of the state deposits is a very old story to the workers of the Democratic party.

A Stream of Air is Forced Out of a Tube In Such a Way as to llore a Hole Through the Fog—By the L'so of It Pilots Can Pick Up lltiojg In Foggy Weather. The latest invention la a fog dis peller. The apparatus consists of a horizontal out-look pipe eight feet in length and eight Inches in diameter. At the mouth of the tube is a wide flange; the rear end is covered with a thick disc of glass. About two feet from the rear end a pipe enters the tube from below, at an obtuse angle with the forward section. This connection is made through a sort of turntable, which permits the outlook tube to be pointed in any di rection desired, up or down, from one side to the other. The pipe below con nects with a blower down in the vessel. When the dispeller is in use, the blower sends a powerful stream of air up through the pipe into the tube, and the current hurtles into the fog, bor ing a hole throug'h It, as it were. The action of the suspended moisture is twofold. The fog is rolled back in every direction, the high pressure of the blast produces a cooling influence, the moisture in suspension condenses and falls in rain. A great cone of clear atmosphere, with its apex at the mouth of the tube, results. The eye of the pilot is at the glass at the rear of the tube, and he gazes into the bowels of the fog. With its aid a pilot can readily pick up his buoys in a fog, and keep an eye out for vessels ahead. With a powerful blower, the invent or hopes to make the fog-dispeller use ful at 1,000 feet. No claims is made that the dispeller would be practical except when .the vessel is going at a slow rate of speed, which is customary when there is fog gy weather. Bow a Peanut Vlu.li.-U the Tiger. A story is told, in La France du Nord, about a Cossack, ignorant of the French language and equally ignorant of fear, who was hired, at Moscow, by the lion-tamer, Pezon, to clean the cages of his wild beasts, says Emily Mayer Higgins, in Lippincott's Mugazlno. Their understanding, or misunder standing, was arranged by means of gestures and dumb show, as that unfortunate Tower of Babel hindered intelligible speech, and Pezon thought that the man thoroughly understood what he had to do. The next morn ing the Tartar began his new duties by entering, with bucket, sponge and broom, not the cage of a tame beast, as his master had done, but of a splendid, untamed tiger. The fierce animal fixed his eyes upon the man, who calmly proceeded to wet his large sponge, and to approach the tiger. At this moment Pezon appeared upon the scene, and was struck with horror. Any sound or motion upon his part would intensify the danger by rousing the beast to fury; so he quiet ly waited till the need should arise to rush to the man's assistance. The moujlk, sponge in hand, ap proached the animal, and, perfectly fearless, proceeded to rub him down, as if he had been a horse or dog; while the tiger, apparently delighted by the application of cold water, roll ed over on his back, stretched out its paws, and, purring, offered every part of his body to the Cossack, who washed him as complacently as a mother bathes her infant. Then he left the cage, and would have repeated the hazardous experiment upon anoth er savage from the desert had not Pe zon drawn him off. with difficulty. The lludMon'N Smokestack.
