LCTIIHK C. SMITH, Superintendent. Driven to Work by Fake Soldiers. The Idea which prevails to some ex tent in corporation circles, that the National Guard of the state is a body organized for the primary purpose of cowing and oppressing any class of men who seek to redress their wrongs, was given a practical test last week, and its success will likely he followed hereafter by other employers of labor. The test, was given at Yatesviiio by Lieutenant Bennett, of Company Ninth regiment, of I'iltston. whose father, S. K. Bennett, operates the Boston mine in the village named. Last week the men employed there, mostly lluus Slavs and Italians, went on strike owing to the refusal of Mr. Bennett to grant several requests. Lieutenant Bennett, being a member of the Ninth, when tie- regiment was on duty after tin- Lattiiner massacre, knew the power of uniform and gun upon the workingmen. II donned his uniform and sword and prevailed upon four pri vates of his company to do likewise. Then the four men armed with guns and led by the lieutenant marched upon the strikers. It was not an imposing array as to the numbers, but it was suffi ciently imposing in authority to elTuct its object. The ignorant foreigners full of dread for the militarism which oppressed them in their native land, viewed the soldiers in tin; light of tlie highest authority, and when ordered by Lieu tenant Bennett to return to work did so at once, and have boon at work since. slo.on Bicycle Given Away Daily.

It would appear that England is now following the tactics Russia adopted at the close of the civil war when she sent Mr. C'atacazy to this country to promote her chances for unfurling her flag again in the Black sea by formenting trouble between England and America over the Alabama indemnity. At that time Mr. Catacazy permitted his zeal to overflow diplomacy. England's solicitude for the United States at present has the ear marks of the professional friend promoters, or in other words Johnny Hull is giving Uncle Sam a beautiful jolly on the Anglo-Saxon gag. There is danger of the advertising agent over-doing the tiling just as did Mr. Catacazy, who was given his pass ports just at a critical period of Andrew G. Curtin's negotiations with Prince (iortcliakofT as ministor to Russia. The metropolitan press is just now devoting a great deal of space daily to cablegrams which relate the marked attention Americans are receiving in London. The queen asks of daggers, the messenger, concerning his trip to Chicago and betrays deep interest in Yankee sights as they impressed .Tag gers. Chauncey Do pew is given another ovation in Lunnon or Tod Slouna is again lionized even if he does crack a cockney with a bottle just "because ' j crossed tli' hocoan." These things may oxcito mutual ad miration between nations in the estima tion of the agent, but there is such a thing as over-doing It and another dip lomat losing his job. For Higher Fd ueut ion. In our news columns there is out lined a plan for advanced education iu Freeland which will be submitted to the school board iu the near future. It is assured of sufliciont support to carry it through when formally introduced, and if, as it seems, it is to be the first step towards given our common school grad uates an opportunity to secure such an education as could heretofore be ob tained only by going out of town, it will lie endorsed by every friend of the schools. The excellent work that has been done by teachers and pupils in the common branches in the recent past lias made this step imperative. There is no town that we know of where the demand for advanced education sur passes that in Freeland, and the estab lishing of a high school, one in fact as fully as in name, could in justice to the pupils be no longer delayed. The borough directors may confident ly count upon public support of any and every measure they may have in view that will improve local educational facilities. l'uhlic Improvements. The proposed public improvements, to which Freeland voters will give their assent or rejection on August 20, have been commented upon by newspapers of neighboring towns, and such writers who have seen fit to express an opinion commend our borough for the progres sive spirit shown. Freeland lias a reputation the state over for the successful efforts that have been made in placing it on a level with older and richer towns of similar size, and it is not likely that the result of the I coming special election will in any way j impair that reputation. The improvements are necessary and j every citizen who believes in the town ! and its future will give cordial assent to ! speed their coming. A It rave Mine Inspector. Thanks to the mine Inspectors. One I of them lias at last, gathered up sufliciont courage to close up a colliery because it was unsafe for the men. What are we j coming to anyway? Is there to be a ro j volution among tlie.se trusted guardians i of the corporations? — Uaz'cton Standard. Inspector Maguire, whoso courage lias caused so much surprise. Is probab ly seeking retirement. If not, bis chances of reappointment for another I term are not worth 30 cents. Morgan LL Williams will attoud to his case. FOSTER TOWNSHIP. Now Hul Id I iik Contract Awarded and a Supervising Principal Fleeted. Foster township school board held an adjourned meeting Monday evening, with all the directors present. The following bids were received for the building of a new school house at Eckley: Justus Schaub, Ilazleton; $1,220; James E. Griffiths, Freeland, $800; C. 11. Knelly, Ilazleton, $834.70; Lewis 11. Lentz, Freeland, $835. Mr. Lentz, being the lowest bidder, was awarded tiie contract, and was asked to furnish a bond for $1,200 for the com pletion of the work according to speci fications. Secretary Wood ring stated that the specifications for repairs, which were to have been sent out were not yet ready, but that they would be submitted to the contractors before the next regular meeting. The board decided to elect a new sub stitute teacher. Director Lesser named Miss Emma Bottoms, and Director Doud nominated Miss Lizzie Metzgar. Miss Bottoms was chosen by the votes of Messrs. Lesser, Evans, Kellar and Woodring, Miss Metzgar receiving the votes of Messrs. Doud and Zeisloft. The salary of the substitute teacher was fixed at $2 per day. It was agreed to transfer Miss Mackoy, who was appointed to toach at Lehigh Tannery, to the Eckley school, and change Miss Gallagher from the latter to Tannery. Joseph G. Sarricks, of Sandy Run, was chosen supervising principal of the the township schools at a salary of SOB per month. Mr. Sarricks will be called upon to take up a great deal of the work that was formerly looked after by the superintendent. However, the board's knowledge of the duties of a supervising principal was not ample enough, and President Evans appointed a committee, consist ing of Messrs. Woodring, Lesser and Doud, to look into the matter and re port at the next meeting. The schools throughout the township will be opened on September 5. MINES AND RAILROADS. A secret meeting of the Brotherhood Firemen of the Lehigh Valley Railroad was held in Wllkesbarre Monday night. Grand Master Wilson was present. Various grievances were discussed. The men claimed that ever since the strike of 1893 they havo been discrimi nated against in favor of non-union men. The whole matter was referred to Grand Master Wilson to bring before the company officials. The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, after an effort of years, has just com pleted the last purchase of property necessary to complete its right of way into the city of Wiiliamsport. The Nortli and West Branch Railroad is controlled by people acting in the inter est of the Lehigh Valley, and connection with t-ho Lehigh Valley will be made near Laporto. John Maguire, tnino inspector of the Eighth anthracito district, lias shut up half of the Williams colliery near Potts ville, which employs over 300 hands, bocause of its gaseous condition, due to improper ventilation. The mine is owned by ex-Congressman Williams, of Wllkesbarre. Mr. Chance, ex-state geolgist, is in Scranton making an examination of the coal mines of the, Delaware, Lackawana and Western Company for the purpose of giving an expert opinion on gases, etc. He will also inspect a number of other coal properties in that region. BUCK MOUNTAIN. James Cannon fell off his bike while coming down tiie hill Monday evening and sprained his wrist. He will be unable to work for a few days. Misses Sarah O'Donnell and Ilannah Boyle, of Bayonne City, N. J., are spending a few weeks here as the guests of Mrs. Patrick Dougherty. All who desire a good time should not fail to attend the picnic at this place on Saturday evening. Neal O'Donnell and Patrick Maloney, of Eckley, were visitors here on Sunday. Quite a number of our folks attended the game of ball at Freeland on Sunday. Friday will be pay day hero at tiie Cross Creek colliery. LAURYTOWN AND ROCKPORT. The raflle that was held at the Wash ington hotel on Saturday evening was a grand success. The guitar was won by Thomas Bolds. Patrick Quinlivan, of Rockport, will in a few weeks remove his family to Jersey City where he has obtained em ployment. Frank and Albert Stofenskie spent a few hours at Weatherly on Sunday. Tho Art of Style. "I wish," said tho young mnn who was writing a spooch, "that I could think of the word that I wont." "What kind of a word Is It?" asked his wife. "Something that moans cutthroat, robber and villain. Its got to he a word of at least four syllables, because I want It to he a polished sarcasm."— Washington Stnr. Nlgim of Intellect. "What's the reason you're so care less In dress of Into, and why do you never wear your hair In that pretty style I used tp admire?" asked the hushnnd who liked to spend his even ings nt home. "I am preparing a lecture," replied the wife, "on the "Dawn of Bathetic Life.' "—Detroit Free Press. 81.50 U year Is all the THIDUXK costs. OUR CAPITAL LETTER. ALGER'S RESIGNATION WAS TEN DERED AS A BLUFF. Mr. McKlnley's Acceptance Wan a Sad SurprUe to the Secretary of War. Whitney Scouring the World for a Alan t Defeat Ilryan—Other Toplcn. Washington, July 25, 1899. A close friend of Alger Is responsible for the statement that Alger's resigna tion was handed to Mr. McKinley as a big bluff, with the expectation that lie would decline it in a nice little note that Alger could have published to refute the charge that ho was remaining in the cabinet against Mr. McKlnley's wishes, and that Alger was the most surprised man in Washington when ho received Mr. McKinleys note accepting his resig nation to take effect August 1. The same man says that Alger is very mad, although pretending to bo greatly pleased, and that he may toss bomb shells administrationward, after he drops official harness, and that the ex plosion will not make pleasant music for Mr. McKinley. If the now secre tary of war—Mr. ltoot—is merely to look after the legal questions connected with our military occupation of Cuba, Porto Uico and the Philippines, leaving military affairs to be controlled by Meiklejohn and Corbin, and that is the present understanding, Algorism isn't likely to depart with Alger. X X t The statement that Hon. W. C. Whit ney, whose shrewd manipulation pro cured tho last nomination of Mr. Cleve land, in spite of seemingly invincible obstacles, had gone to Europo for tho purpose of trying to persuade Admiral Dewey to allow his name to go before the next Democratic convention, as a candidate for tho presidential nomina tion, while interesting, was not regard ed in Washington as of any particular importance. Mr. Whitney has been hunting for some time for anybody to beat Ilryan, and has sounded a number of men as to their willingness to contest tho nomination with the colonel. Nobody with the slightest political knowledge has shown any disposition to try to do the Impossible, and it is among the possibilities that Mr. Whit ney, banking upon Admiral Dewey's ignorance of politics and existing political conditions, may Intercept him somewhere in Europe and try to per suade him to attempt it. Those who know him best say that Admiral Dewey never changes his mind, after having once decided a question, and that he will give Mr. Whitney the same answer he has already given to others to the same question. X t t General Carlos Garcia, son of tho late General C'alixto Garcia, Is in Washing ton, as a representative of the Cuban Republican League, which advocates complete political independence of Cuba. He asked Mr. McKinley for authority to hold elections for municipal offices, throughout Cuba, In order to demon strate the ability of tho Cubans to govern themsolves. Mr. McKinley did not give him a decided answer, but it had been previously said by officials that no elections would be held In Cuba, until a census of thoso entitled to vote had been taken. t t t Governor Roosevelt was reminded by the turning down of several men whom he had recommended personally, to Mr. McKinley for appointment to be officers in the volunteers, that there are othor politicians in New York, who have a pull with the administration. Not only were some of Roosevelt's men turned down, but there wero Now Yorkers ap pointed whose name were not oven re ferred to him, by Mr. McKinley. The authority for this statement is an official of the war department, who knows the endorsement on tho papers on every man who was appointed. Perhaps Roosevelt would have had better luck if he had withheld his de claration in favor of Mr. McKlnley's renomination a little longer. Publicly committing himself probably weakened kis pull. t t t Perhaps It was a fellow feeling that caused "Corporal" Tanner, who was kicked out of the pension bureau by Harrison, after a few months service as commissioner, to rush Into print with fulsome praise for Alger and Algorism. Whatever it was, it was credltablo to Tanner's hoart, if not to his sense of thrift, to stand up for tho under dog, in this fracas, because he liked him per sonally, although he knew when he did it that It was likely to lessen Ills own pull on the administration. 6tat on Onto, City of Toledo, J Lucas County, ( Fuank-J.
