FREELAND, PA., AUGUST 17, 1899.
The popularity of Mark Twain in
England and the lack of attention
shown the other Mark (Ilanna) in Ids
recent visit abroad is another proof of
the superiority of mind over matter.
Secretary of War Root has inaugurated
his career by reinvesting Inspector
General Breckenridge with authority
which ho was shorn of by the action of
Alger. General Miles is once more in
closo touch with all military plans and
movements.
It is reported that William Waldorf
Astor wiio recently gave up ids Ameri
can citizenship to become an English
man, has been snubbed by the Prince of
Wales, of which goes to show tliat
the Prince must be a pretty decent sort
of an Englishman.
The proposition to make the Philip
pines a penal colony will doubtless meet
with the approval of General Gtis, as it
will place at his disposal a select class
of housebreakors, safe blowers, etc.. to
assi4sHdm in breaking his way in, which
at preset ho seems unable to do.
The Daily Tribune , Pottsville's new
paper, which was born less than two
months ago with a flourish of trumpets,
has made fortunes for its proprietors
and they retired from business on Mon
day, when the sheet suspended publica
tion. Who will be next to try tlds get
rich-quick scheme?
There seems to be no prospect of an
early adjournment of the senate finance
committee who are considering the pro
posed bill to fasten the gold standard on
the country at the coming sossion of
congress. The reason is because the
sossions are held at Narragansett Pier
and the government pays the bills.
Tho reported attempt by a certain
clique in the Democratic party to shelve
Bryan and nominate some one else will
bo fruitless, for the hold that the bril
liant leader of 1896 lias on the masses of
the people is too strong to be shaken.
Mr. Bryan will be nominated despite
the wishes of the self-constituted leaders.
While there is some talk of annexing
Haiti and San Domingo, for expansion
has run mad In some circles of Washing
ton, the administration is evidently
waiting to feel the pulse of the people
before taking any stand in tho matter.
The negro problem in this country is
perplexing enough without adding to its
perplexity.
At this time when there seems to be a
disposition on the part of the Republi
can party to force gold monometallism
on the people, the report of the Director
of the Mint Roberts showing that the
United States has fallen to the third
position among nations in gold produc
ing power, offers food for reflection to
those who would take this rash step.
The had effects of the precedent furn
ished by Blaino when ho offered to
give and congress voted thousands of
dollars Tor the relief of the families of
those Italians who were lynched at Now
Orleans several years ago is shown by
the zeal that the Italian government is
pushing the claim for compensation in
the Tallulah affair. In both cases, the
Italians who were killed had boon
proven to he murderers of American
citizens.
The recent assassination and disputed
succession of President Hcurotix, of the
Dominican republic, are likely to bring
new problems at our doors. It Is alleged
that a powerful American syndicate lias
practically control of tho finances and
affairs of that country. Two warships
have been ordered to San Domingo to
protect American interests. Syndicates
have been very well cared for by the
present administration and there is no
no reason why wo should not take in
Domingo, if the seizure of the Philip
pines can be justiiied. All territorial
syndicates ought to look alike to Mr.
McKinley and "manifest destiny" ought
not to make any discrimination between
friends.
The Special F.leetion.
It is said that somo quiot work is
being done in different parts of the
borough against the proposed increase
of indebtedness, upon which question a
vote will be taken on the 26th Inst.
Every city and every hauilet has always
had a certain percentage of people who
oppose improvements of any nature, but
the TRIBUNE is loath to believe thai
Freeland, noted as it is as the most
progressive borough in the entire coal
lieid, has a sufficient number of this
class to defeat the proposed bond issue.
The purposes of the increase of in
debtedness are given iti the official
notice for the special election. The)
should and we believe they do appeal to
every voter who desires to see our town
advance.
The erection of a town building, on
the plans officially announced, is nothing
more than a public necessity. It must
come in the near future, and i;
requires no prophet to predict that
the borough will never get an oppor
tunity to procure a site as central!)
located at so small cost as it has at
present. Besides, the advantages of u
public library mean more for the town
than can be comprehended at this day.
Fire protection for Birvanton is tin
second purpose. If there is a man win
will openly oppose an expenditure u
protect the hundreds of lives and
thousands of dollars'worth of propert
in that portion of town ho should pro
claim his reason.
A lire alarm system comes next. Tot
often lias the absence of this been madt
known. By the time a man is running
three-quarters of a mile, from Alvin
town, or Carbon street, or old South
Heberton, his property has every chancr
to be beyond hope of saving before the
antiquated bell is rang to call the fire
men.
The fourth purpose calls for an ex
tension of the sewer system. Let In
who believes this is not necessary wall
down South Itidge street, along Carbor
street, then go to North Washington
and Birkbeck streets, and the sunt tan
point of the question will appeal to hb
common sense. The extensions pro
posed will complete the system in a
parts where a sewer is a necessity, and
in justice to the property owners am
residents along these streets the build
ing of the extensions ought not be d
layed.
There may be good reasons why tin
voters should not give consent to in
crease the indebtedness, but so far the
TRIHUN'K has not been able to find one
reason that will bear the light of day.
If there is a voter who has a reason that
has been overlooked in our investigation
we offer him all the space desired in
these columns to place his argument
before the people.
Not an opponent of the increase who
has been interviewed by representatives
of the TKIJU XK will permit his reason to
bo published with his name as sponsor.
The very weakness of the argument and
often the motive for the stand taken is
thereby exposed, for that which a man
privately disseminates, but will not pub
licly father, is, as a general rule, not
the sort of an argument which will con
vince men.
it should also be remembered that
this is not a political question. Every
member of council, Republican aur'
Democrat, is on record in its favor, th
ordinance having passed council unani
tnously. A Democratic burgess and u
Republican secretary have affixed theii
signatures to the ordinance, and tin
question of party lias no place in tin
special election. Let the increase or no
increase carry on its merits.

NAKED IN THE STREETS.
A Common Sight on the Island Since
Ponce de Leon Founded the First
Settlement at Caparra in 1509.
Camera EuthuiliuU Frightened Them
end Uen, Henry'. Crder Came u, a I'ro- '
tectlon—Corporal Witt Who llid Not
Speak Spanish Had Many Interesting Ad
venture* In Enforcing the Order.
Before the Americans went to Porto
Rico the little black and white boys
and girls of the poorer part of the
community played in the streets of San
Juan and other towns unmolested.
They chose the street pavement for a
playground because they had no back
yards. And if, in those days of Span
ish rule, they neglected to dress,
neither citizen nor policeman bothered 1
thein, for unclothed children, between
the ages of 2 and 0 years, have been a
common sight on the island since
Ponce de Leon founded tile first set- j
tleinent at Caparra in the year IT, Ob. I
For nearly 400 years, then, children j
enjoyed themselves, unnoticed, by tak- j
ing sun baths on the front doorstep,
eating their 1111 of oranges and bananas I
and by roiling on the dirty pavement. -
But when the American troops took
possession of the island government
these little people began a life of mis
ery and trouble. At first the soldiers
stared at them. Later business men
came from the United States, and, tak
ing rooms with the better-off families
on the second floor, began to stumble
over the same pickaninnies ou the
doorstep. Camera enthusiasts then !
frightened tlieni into the house by a
mysterious shaped box and even paid
the mothers a few coppers to drag the :
little forms hack into the sunlight. I
But the native children found protec
tion and comfort in the new ileal th law
made by Gen. Henry.
"No children will he allowed in the
street unless they are properly cloth
ed."
On the day following the promulga
tion of the order forty native police
men and ten American Corporals, or
roundsmen, began a crusade against
unclothed children. Native policemen,
of course, easily made the mothers un
derstand that the children, if not
properly dressed, must he kept out of
sight of the public. And as the law
took effect immediately, for the next
six hours, or until emergency shirts,
trousers and dresses could be procured,
the hordes of little natives were miss
ing from the streets.
But in tho suburban villages of
Puerto de Tierra and Santurce, Cor
poral A. P. Witt, who like eight of his
Yankee comrades in San Juan could
not speak Spanish fluently, at first
found the new health law very trouble
some. He saw plenty of unclothed
children, but as his Spanish vocabulary
consisted of only ntalo, bueno and si,
Senor, which he knew meant respec
tively bad, good and yes, sir, he could
not make the mothers understand the
purpose of his visit. At the first
house he interpreted the order partly
by the sign language. He captured a
little hUtck 4-year-old youngster, who
naturally began to cry, and led him to
his mother.
"Malo, rnalo," said the-Corporal,
pointing to the unclothed lad, referring,
of course, to his nudity.
"Si. Senor," replied the mother.
"He needs some clothes."
"Si, Senor," said the mother.
"Well, put some on him, for Gen.
Henry says that all the children in the
street must wear proper clothing," mnl
tile Corporal, pointing again to the
frightened little boy, said "Malo, ntalo."
"Si, Senor," repeated tho mother,
who, upon hearing the police officer say
"malo, malo," interpreted his speech
as the recital of some hrinte her son
had committed against the peace. Ac
cordingly she started to whip him.
"No, no, no." interrupted the puzzled
officer. And in order to make him
self better understood, he picked up an
old shirt waist, wrapped ibis covering
around the pickaninny, and then added,
"Bueno, bueno." His object lesson
evidently proved more successful than
his Spanish and English speech, for tlie
mother soon returned his smile of ap
proval with a series of affirmative nods
and "Si, Senors."
Corporal Witt was gratified at the
final success of his first interview, but
before two more mothers had been in
structed he decided that in ord to
save time and trouble he would call a
mothers' meeting and explain the new
law to all at one time. For an inter
preter he secured an elderly English
negress from St. Thomas, who notified
twenty-five mothers of the convention.
They assembled in the hack yard of a
neighbor, and wondered, of course, the
object of this unusual meeting. But
their curiosity was satisfied soon by
the Yankee Corporal. He began with
the statement that all the children, us
well as the older persons, must wear
clothes in public places, for such an
order had been Issued by G*n. Henry.
Such a reformatory measure, the Cor
poral noticed, greatly astonished the
mothers. But before they had recov
ered their surprise he told them that
in the United States all the little chil
dren always wore a proper dress. He
added further that as the little chil
dren of Borto Rico would he citizens
soon of the same Government they also
should adopt the dress of c'vilization.
But in the general discussion which
followed the Corporal learned from his
interpreter that more than half the
mothers present had neither money nor
clolh for dresses. So he Immediately
started a mothers' benefit fund. From
well-to-do Porto Ricans, Amnican res
idents and soldiers he easily collected
20 pesos for 200 yards of calico. He
then distributed the cloth among a few
volunteer dressmakers, and instructed
them to make knee trousers and short
jackets for the boys and little Mother
Hubbards for the girls.

Individuality as it Stands Out In a Country
Town.
Individuality is lost sight ot in tho
cities. It is swallowed up, as it were in
the mob. In a village it stands out
| with surprising distinctness. The odd
I characters of the pla-ce are known to
everybody, and their queer sayings and
doings are told from mouth to mouth.
lu a certain town not a great ways
from Cleveland there are probably as
many of these peculiar people as any
place of its size can boast. One of them
is an ancient man who longs for the
good old times that followed the war,
and is a firm believer in the criminal
weakness of the present financial sys
-1 torn. He is a man of considerable prop
' erty, but nevertheless is economical to
i ail extreme degree. In fact he was never
known to spend a penny that didn't go
, for some actual necessity.
, There is another character in the
town who keeps the village general
1 store. He is a good-hearted fellow who
after a long course of bachelorhood,
finally married. In this little town it
j is tlie custom for the happy bridegroom
to setup the cigars for all the congrat
ulating males who drop in to wish him
joy. So the bridegroom in this instance
had a box on tho counter, and most of
his patrons were regaled from it.
Pretty soon the ancient gentleman
first referred to lounged in. The store
keeper who felt friendly to all the
world just then, pushed tho box toward
i the newcomer.
"Have a cigar, Uncle Jim," he smil
| ingly said.
"Uncle Jim looked at tho box and
looked at the storekeeper,
i "Wat's this for?" lie asked.
The storekeeper slightly blushed.
"Been gottiu' married," he ans
wered.
"Eh?"
"Been gettin' married,
"Who? You?"
"Yep Me."
"An you're standin' treat, eh?"
"Yep." said the storekeeper.
"How much did these seegars cost
ye, Ah?" lie inquired.
"Oh,*'replied the storekeeper, "they
! cost me bout 4 cents. They 're nickel
The old man dropped tho cigar back
in the box. Then his gaze wandered
around the store,
i "Well, Ab," ho slowly drawled, "of
it's all the same to you I 'll take a pound
o' nails!"
And lie got them.—-Cleveland Plain

Experiences of the French Explorer,
Fao, in Trailing an Animal
and Killing Him.
Whole Population of an African Vil
lage Turned Out to Take Revenge
on the Animal's Head Roily—Per
forated It With Spear Thrusts and
Cut Oil' Its Head.
The French explorer, M. Ertouard
Foa, the author of the volume, "From
the Cape to I>ake Nyasaa," is now pub
lishing an account of his exploits as a
lion and elephant hunter, which the
French papers are printing conspicu
ously. The following is his story of a
lion chase in Tchiromo:
"We found the trail behind the
house, which proved that the brute had
gone around it. With the trail there
were footmarks of a child. Evidently
he had been seized by the upper pari
of the body. Then we found a few
drops of blood. The animal passed
through one of the streets— if wo may
call them streets —of the village, lead
ing toward the river, going along with
his burden in front of more than twen
ty huts. The inhabitants had not been
aroused by a woman's cries until after
the beast had passed. Still following
the track, we reached the stream,
where the animal halted and left his
prey beside him.
Before following the trail any further
I sent Tambarika to watch the outer
edge of the thick bushes and to find 11
tlicrc were any traces of the animal
having passed through. A well-known
whistle from him notified us that such
was the case, so I took to the clearing
in order to get to him as quickly as
possible. After running for a short
distance thraugh the tall grass we
came upon a new pool of blood which
showed where the beast had stopped
again. Then we found ourselves in
a little open plain still on the trail ot
the nocturnal man-eater. After that
we entered a wood, where we discov
ered clote of blood and the belt ol
poarls that the little fellow had worn
about bis loins. After that we found
part of his scanty clothing, which was
torn off by the bushes. A pool of
blood indicated where the brute began
to tear up his victim.
"Finally, on the opposite edge of the
wood we passed into the high grass,
where a terrible growl brought us tc
a sudden halt. There we listened.
We knew that the animal was there;
but was he going to charge? We heard
nothing more. I cocked my gun and
kept within reach of my hand my six
charges of buckshot cartridges. When
all was ready I advanced in the grass
with my hand upon the trigger, watch
ing closely and listening for the slight
est sound. Ton metres before us w§'
heard the rustling of the long grass
and we saw the heads of it waving,
but nothing more. We continued tc j
advance slowly. To the right there
was a tree. I mode a sign to Kam-1
bombe, who clim! d it like a monkey
in a few jumps. Soon he was in the
tree's fork and on the watch. *Thc
child is here,' he raid, 'but there is nc
lion.' Then turning to the right he
shouted: 'Here he is! Come this way! |
"Guided by his gesture 1 ran to the
right. Then I signalled to the natives
to follow us and with a movement of
my arms I made them understand that
they were to watch the grass to the'
left. I sent Rodzani to tell them tc |
make a noise so as to frighten the lion j
toward me. Then I placed myself ID
a little opening and remained motion
less, watching the bunch of bushes
from which I expected every moment
to see the brute emerge. Kambombc
In the tree whispered: "He's going
away. No. he Is coming back now
He stops and looks in the direction ol
the men. Now he's coming your way
in a walk. Here he comes! Here he
comes! Step back a little!'
"One may Imagine the anxiety with
which I listened to these words. Tak
ing his advice I stepped back twe
paces. My men were behind me with
their arms ready. 'Don't fire except ic
case of necessity,' said I. 'Don't be
in a hurry,' said Tambarika. The tall
grass moved forward like a wave and
the lion came out at about eight metres
from me, walking slowly and occasion
ally looking behind him. At last h*
saw me. He stopped, showed his teeth
growled and advanced without chang
ing his course. At the same moment
he lashed his tail, lowered his ears
and seemed about to charge. Having
followed him with my gun, I aimec
at the nape of his neck and pulled the
trigger. His legs bent as if they wen
rubber and he rolled over dead as s
log.
"He was an old fellow of ordinary
size and extremely thin. The chile
that he intended to devour was about
14 years old and must have been killec
the very moment he was seized, be
cause these felines never carry ofl
struggling prey unless they are obligee
to do so by a surprise. We carriec
back on an improvised litter the bod lei
of the two actors in this nocturna
drama. That of the child showed ileej
wounds which had torn the neck anc
the right shoulder, and on one of hit
thighs the bone was laid bare. At
for the body of the lion, when it wat
brought to the village carried by eight
men, the whole population attemptec
to rush upon it with old guns, bowi
and spears. I shouted that the flrsi
one to touch the carcass before it wat
skinned would make the acquaintance
of my cane. All the population sal
down in a circle, waiting patiently uu
til Tchlgallo. aided by Rodzani anc
Msiambiri, finished their work. Thet
they rushed upon the body, filled i'
with projectiles, perforated it witt
spear thrusts and dragged the remain!
through all the neighboring villages
Without feet and without a head ''
looked like an ox prepared by thi
butchers. Later, in the midst of tf :
lamentations of the women, there wat
a funeral dance aad more noise. Thi
body of the lion was burned upon ui
enormous tire.
