Kvil Effect* of Corporation Rule.
From the Serantou Scrantoniun.
No section of the state has felt the
evil effects of corporation rule so dis
astrously as the anthracite coal region.
Railroad abuses and discriminations j
which constitute flagrant violations of
the inter-state commerce laws, an utter
disregard for the laws regulating the j
conditions existing between employer
and employe, the wholesale confisica- ;
tion of rights and privileges guaranteed
by the constitution and expressly pro
vided for # in the statutes and the op
pression of the weak by the strong in j
every branch of trade.
Theso and kindred evils are surely
sapping the life out of business and
rendering the lot of the toiling masses
harder and more bitter every day. The
small individual coal operators are being
steadily absorbed by the big corpora
tions owning coal carrying roads to tide
water, because they can no longer pay
the exorbitant rates demanded for haul
age. This insures big profits and a
monopoly of the anthracite business to
the coal owning railroad, and compels
the individual operator to sell out or
shut down.
On the other hand, the individual
operator, struggling for a foothold fin
the business, robs his mine worker in
the company store of his earnings,
cheats him through a docking boss and
levvs almost a 200 per cent tax on the
miner's tools—powder, fuses, oil, etc.
Coming down a step or two further, we
find the mine foreman levying tribute
from foreigners for the privilege of
earning their daily bread, and because
they can get $lO or $25 for a chamber
froin men who neither understand min
ing nor the English language (and Un
law demands both) the lives of thous
ands of fellow mortals are daily en
dangered to satisfy the bosses' greed.
Once more we are tempted to ask, how
long will tliis utter disregard for law
and justice continue among us? Just as
long as the people will tolerate it, and
not an hour longer. The remedy may
be slow, but it's sure. Combines and
monopolies in trade arc purely artificial
conditions. They can not endure with
time and must necessarily fail sooner or
later because they have no stable
foundation on which to rest.
If the remedy comes through cleaner
politics and a desire for right and jus
tice, so much the better, for matters
may then be adjusted without much
loss or hardship to any one. Rut if
long delayed a bitter fight bordering
close on revolution is hound to be the
outcome in which the ill-gotten gains
of the greedy and unscrupulous trust
magnates and corporation barons will
melt in a moment and disappear like
snow thrown into a furnace.
Eckles, of the Cleveland administra
tion, seems to have a nightmare be
cause the Democratic party refuses to
bow to the English money trust. And
this is the same Eckles that was con
troller of the United States treasury
when the Philadelphia banks were
being burglarized by gold bugs of the
last presidential campaign.— Lansford
Record.
If the people of Frcoland who believe

matter should be given immediate atten
tion. The time is growing short.
Superintendent liarman of the Hazlc
ton schools is quoted as saying that
there is but one female teacher in that
city who is capable of giving instruction
in algebra, and none who can fill the
present demand for a teacher in music

dition for a place like liazlnton.

Trouble for Admlnlittratiuii.
Where Indiana Will Stund in 11)00.
Washington, D. C., August 1, 1609.
Attornoy General Griggs, before going
off on bis summer vacation, shattered
the hopes of numerous persons who
thought they had everything fixed to
secure valuable l'orto ltican concessions
from the war department, by rendering
opinions upon three specific concessions:
The right to use the water power of the
river Plata, the right to build and
operate a tramway, and the right to
build and control, for all time, piers and
wharves at Ponce. These opinions take
the ground that all such concessions
were the crown property of Spain, and
sums them all, and apparently all other
public concessions on the island, up as
follows: "As crown property, they
were, by the treaty of cession, trans
ferred by Spain to the United States of
America, and are now a part of the
public domain of that nation. Ido not
know of any right or power which the
secretary of war or the president lias to
alienate in perpetuity, any of tin? public
domain of tiie United States, except in
accordance with acts of congress, duly
passed with reference thereto." This
Is understood to be a hint to Alger of
the power of the administration to make
trouble for him and his business friends,
who are heavily interested in some
Cuban deals, if ho attempts to antagon
ize the administration.
t t J
Republican wishes father the story
sent out from Washington, several days
ago, that a movement was on foot to
put another Gold Democratic presiden
tial ticket in the field, next year. No
such movement is known among Demo
crats and no such action is expected to
get the support of any considerable
number of Democrats, because they all
know that It is not being instigated by
Democrats, but by Republicans, whose
only object is to draw support away
from the regular Democratic ticket.
A number of Democrats who took part
in organizing the Palmer and liuckner
movement, have since acknowledged
their mistake and their regret, and ex
pressed their intention to stand by the
regular nominations hereafter, because
the Democratic phrty as a whole stands
for most of the things they believe in.
Although Republican money is likely to
be freely used to bring about such a
condition, there is absolutely nothing in
sight at this time, to indicate the nomi
nation of a Gold Democratic ticket next
year.
i t t
Representative Griffith, who repre
sents the Indiana district which sent
the late Judge Hoi man to congress for
so many years, said of politics in his
state, and ho knows: "Indiana will
send to the Democratic national con
vention a solid Rryan delegation. The
men who were for Mr. Rryan and the
Chicago platform, in 1890, have not
weakened in their faith regarding
either. 1 am one of those who believe
in the indestructibility of the principles
of Democracy, and though the party
may suffer temporary defeat, it is sure
to regain ascendency, for it represents
better than any other political organiza
tion, the true interests of the people.
The predominant issue in 1900 is very
apt to be war upon the trusts, and upon
this, the Democrats will be in far better
position than their opponents. Tin
voters of the country cannot be deluded
by anti-trust declarations of the Repub
lican convention, seeing that most of
the intluential Republicans are thor
oughly identified with combines and
monopolies. 1 seo nothing in tho sit
uation that is discouraging to Demo
crats, but on thb contrary much that,
betokens a winning campaign."

ABUSE OF PERFUMES
Nuutentlng llouvv Odors Like Muak Shows
Luck of Refinement.
Some of us, in these days of artificial
musk and suffocating rose, who have
stilled In theatres and have been over
come in cable cars and restaurants by
the heaviness, have fervently wished
tin- proiuiscuos use of these powerful
odors, might be restricted to the bou
doirs and drawing rooms whose
queens elect to vulgarize all their sur
roundings by tills and kindred extrava
gance.
Fastidious women (with here and
there an exception) are as delicately
refined in their selection of sweet odors
as in every other personal appointment
A high-bred woman does not associate
herself with musk or patchouly. She
may select the most delicate of violet
extracts, and so assimilate her per
sonality with the flower as always to
recall it, or her linen may be fragrant
with the faintest odor of florentine or
ris. The shadow of the clear pungent
lavender may precede her, but the
most sensitive and refined women
shrink intuitively from the odors that
attract the parvenue.
Few people outside the scientific
world know the hygienic value us well
as the danger lurking in flower scents.
The effect of musk, rose saffron and
almond flowers Is almost hypnotic to
some sensitive organizations. To others
tlie heavy odors are like strains of sen
suous music, and In their results the
reverse of elevating. Hysteria is Inev
itably aggravated and frequently
caused by the odor of musk, and the
use of this perfume should be forbid
den delicate girls and women.
On the other hand, the effect of the
odors yielded by the balsams of Peru
and Mecca, benzoin tolu, onsenrillu aud
cinnamon are tonic and invigorating.
The perfumes possessing real antisep
tic qualities are numerous, and it Is
an acknowledged fact that until the
Egyptians abandoned the practice of
purifying the houses of the sick und
embalming the dead by the use of aro
matic aud resinous gums, such as stor
ax, myrrh, etfar, origanum, tfce., the
terrible pestilence never laid the Nile
country waste.
It is said that the followuig aromat
ic essences will kill bacteria germs in
typhoid: Clove, vervolne, thyme, san
dal. cedar, ceylon, cinnamon, camomile
anise; und lavender water, according
to Mouiu, the great French hygienist,
will, if used freely by the attendants,
greatly lessen the danger of contract
ing contagious maladies.

The Manufacture) of Wall-I'apcr.
While various kinds of printed fab
rics were known to the people of most
remote antiquity, it was not till the
eighteenth century that wallpaper in
anything like its present form came
into common use in Europe, though it
appears to have been used much
earlier in Uhluu. A few rare examples
which may be as early as the six
teenth century exist In England, but
these are imitations, generally in
"Hock." of the old Florentine and
(ielioese cut velvets, aud hence the
style of the design In no way shows
the date of the wallpaper, tne same
traditional patterns being reproduced
with little or 110 change for many
years. It was not till the end of the
list century that the machinery to
make paper in long strips was invent
ed. Up to that time wallpapers were
printed on small square pieces of
hund-iundc pai>er and were very ex
pensive. On this account wallpaper
was slow in superseding the older
mural decorations, such as tapestry,
stamped leather and paper cloth.
A work printed in London iu 1741
throws some light n the use of wall
papers at that time: "The method of
printing wallpapers of tin- better sort
is probably tlie same now that it lias
ever been. Wooden blocks with tin*
design cut in relief, one for each color,
are applied by hand, after being dip
ped iu an elastic cloth sieve charged
with wet tempera pigment, great care
being taken to lay each block on the
light place so that the various colors
may 'register' or fit together, in order
to suit the productions of the paper
mills these blocks are made in Eng
land 21 inches wide, and in France IS
inches wide. The length of the block
Is limited to what tin* workman enn
easily lift with one hand- two feet be
ing abhut the limit, as the blocks are
necessarily thick, and in many cases
made heavier by being inlaid with
copper, especially the thin outlines,
which, if made of wood, would not
stand tlie wear and tear of printing.
"In 'flock' and gold or silver printing
the design Is first printed in strong
size, the tlock (finely cut wood of the
required color), or metallic powder, is
then sprinkled by hand all over the
paper: It adheres only to tlie wet size,
and Is easily shaken off the ground or
uusizrd pari. If the pattern Is requir
ed to tanc' out in some relief, the pro
cess Is repeated several times, and the
whole paper then rolled t(\ coin press
the flock. Cheaper sorts of paper are
printed by machinery, the desigu be
ing cut on the surface of wooden rol
lers under which the paper passes.
The chief drawback to this process Is*
that all tlie colors nre applied rapidly
one after the other without allowing
each to dry separately, as is done In
hand printing. A somewhat blurred
LunearuiKe is usually the result."
NEW YORK WOMEN.
THEY SCORN THE " 808-UP-SEREN
LY" WALK OF PHILADELPHIANS.
Twonty-tlilrU Street the Place to See
the Style of Walking by Women-Self
-I'oHsennlon Seeming Quite Natural tlie
Chief Now York Charuu'orh*tlc.
New York women walk better than
they did live years ago. It u man hap
pens to have any antiquated opinions
on this subject it is time for him to
change them. The tired feeling which
pertalneth unto hot weather will
make it hard for him to stand at the
entrance of some Twenty-third street
shop for half an hour und wateli the
women passing, but if he persists he
will get a composite mental photo
graph of their gait which ought to
he trustworthy.
First, though, he will find out what
it is to be < y.zy. lie will feel as if
he vr at the centre ..f a great bun.an
pinwhtel r siuiug • till nmoi.e •■
numerable dancers, an doiug indies'
t halns am "a a main" lefts and "chas
ezs" as ''. their lives depended on it
\ few men are mixed up in the ladles'
chains, and if the man looking on
could take lime to observe them and
their ways he would ilnd them Inter
esting-as interesting as the women
who are in, but not of, the lower
1 troadway tide. Hut the chances are
that he won't take that time. Certain
ly not if lie once begins taking snap ob
servations of the way the women
walk.
"Ways" would lie a better word to
use in this case. A Philadelphia man
recently took an afternoon's rest from
the mud rush of Quaker City existence
and counted up the distinct varieties
of the feminine gait us it may be seen
on Chestnut street, lie noted "the
swing, the swagger, the side-step, the
lope, the spring, the wriggle" and
others. "Hut," he said in triumph,
the walk of tlie walks nowadays is the
'bob-up-sereneiy.' Up and down, up
and down like a Jumping jack, goes the
maid, her foot hut touching the ground
when straightway it spurns it, and she
rises in the air us if all the exhllnra
tion thut Is abroad in the laud was
pent at the sole of her boot and push
ed her upward."
Allowing something for the exuber
ance of the Phtladelphlau emancipated
from toil, there is here a plain Indica
tion that tlie prevailing Chestnut
street gait resembles thut of the lit
tle lambs which skip so gayly. This
sort of thing may go in Philadelphia,
but it is a pleasure to be able to say
that New York women are not hop
ping airily along tlie corridors of time.
Maybe the "eel skirt" has not yet
reached Philadelphia. at least,
there are only a few advance Issues of
that funny feminine fashion, and the
women wearing them are the ones
who proceed in a wriggle, as noted by
the man with the afternoon off. This
seems plausible.
Hut tlie sheath skirt is universally
worn ly New York women with any
pretensions to swellness, and it would
he u pathetic thing to behold if a bri
gade of eel-skirted women should at
tempt to emulate the bob-up-sereneiy
walk of the Quaker City dames.
Twenty-third street can show Just as
many different kinds of a walk JUS
Chestnut street can. There is no deny
ing tlie fact that some New York wom
en lope and some wriggle. In fact,
there is every variety of locomotion
represented, even to the stout old
ladies, who lumber along, so like the
automobiles that it is always a sur
prise to lliiri that they can go forward
without first hacking. Hut iu spite of
the endless variety of gaits, there is
really ouo which is characteristic of
the great majority of the women who
make up the procession.
That is what may he vaguely termed
the self-possessed walk. It appears in
various forms. The reporter observed
at least half a dozen variations of the
one type the other day. There was a
Ki-year-old girl who looked as if she
might he a cash girl out on an errand.
Her natty hat was tipped over her
nose, her hair was frowzy and her
clothes were hopeless. She was hol
low-chested and round shouldered, and
of that type of countenance known as
pie-faced. Hut she had all her self
satisfaction with her, and her walk
showed it.
There were other l(i-year-old girls,
In better clothes and literally in better
form, but their self-possession was al
most as aggressive as the cash girl's.
There were the portly dames whose
figures, alas! had not been trained up
in the way they should go. It is not
necessary to state that their walk car
ried a certain assurance with it. It
isn't easy for a portly dowager to ap
pear retiring. She has herself to con
tend with. Then there were the as
sertive-looking women, who, perhaps
after all, were only in a hurry. And
there were many, many other types,
all apparently quite at ease and sure of
themselves.
Hut the walk which struck the re
porter ns the one most characteristic
of the crowd was not assertive or ag
gressive. It was simply expressive of
a certain aplomb. It was the proof of
the very highest form of self-posses
sion the point where self-possession
has become so habitual as to result in
absolute lack of self-conscioiiHuess.
Not all the women had this perfect
aplomb by any means; but almost all
of them hud some of it.—New York
Sun.

A Hartford lawyer tells of a client
in one of tlie adjoining towns who had
a farm to sell, lie had recently sunk
u well on It, and the Job cost quite a
sum. Consequently, when he talked
of disposing of his property, the well
caused liini considerable anxiety.
"Ilow much do you ask for the farm?"
the lawyer asked.
"Wnl. I'll tell yer," drawled the
farmer. "I'll sell the deru place for
S7OO with the well, and I'll let it go
