FREELAND, PA., OCTOBER 2, 181)0.
Luzerne County Politics.
From the Nanticoke News.
At the Republican headquarters in
Wilkesbarre the campaign managers
are putting up a great bluff so far as
harmony in the ranks of their party and
the probable success of their party is
concerned. They dare not deny but
that the courthouse ghost is looming up
against A. D. Hay in greater propor
tions every day; the over-confidence fad
has struck John M. Jones and those
who wore conceding the latter s elec
tion from the start do not feel so confi
dent now. There is such a thing as
being too popular, especially when a
man is running for ollice, and we are
afraid that this fact will be clearly
demonstrated in the case of Phil Raub,
the Republican candidate for sheriff.
The Bob Robinson collar is not helping
John Mainwaring and the Fourth legis
lative district is likely to roll up a
big m&jority for Lubrecht. The Shaw
nee! ts may be compelled to bite the
dust on election day.
Another proof of the weakness of the
Republican ticket is the appealing com
munications which appear frequently in
the Wilkesbarre Record. There is no
harmony in the Republican ranks; there
is an undercurrent which is liable to
come to the surface at any moment and
tho ticket will suffer considerably in the
effort to oust Bob Robinson.
The contest for commissioners prom
ises to bring out some queer deals. In
fact one is already being planned and so
dotermined are some of the manipula
tors that they are not making any great
efforts to conceal their actions.
That Finn will be elected no one
doubts. The great powers that were
behind his nomination will not leave
anything undone to elect him. Of
course every effort will be made to elect
his colleague too, as there is a vast dif
ference in a minority and a majority
commissioner. The nicest contest will
bo between Hay and Koons; here is
where the courthouse plans will cut the
greatest figure.
It is a long time since the political
situation in Luzerno county was so
evenly balanced as it is at present.
Had tho Democratic boss and his pur
chased followers used the least diplo
macy on September 12, Luzerne county
would undoubtedly be in the Democratic
column once more after November 7.
Gold Democrat!! Coining Back.
One of the most significant recent
utterances bearing upon the present
tendency in this country to imperialism
and militarism was made on Tuesday
night of last week before the National
Civic Club in Brooklyn, by Edward M.
Shepard, a Gold Democrat and leader of
tho Independent Democrats of that city
who for several years have made it im
possible for the regular organization to
have its way there. His subject was,
•'The Duty of Democrats to Their Par
ty." He said:
Democrats of all shades of opinion,
from those of our great ex-president to
those of Mr. Bryan, have sounded one
note. Every day the popular vision be
comes clearer. The issue of military
imperialism dwarfs all other political
issues now before tho American people.
We do not, like tho Republicans, put
our "Vicars"' of Bray into the White
House.
As between President McKinley, who
voted for free-silver coinage when the
popular tide seemed to run that way,
who In 1806 down almost to the last
feared to pronounce the word "gold" lest
ho should alienate some popular sup
port, and whose belief in silver or gold
seems to depend upon his estimate of its
effect upon the fortunes of his party or
himself, as between tho president on
the one hand, and, on the other hand,
Mr. Bryan, with his devotion to a prin
ciple when it stands and must stand
completely in the way of the success of
his own legitimate ambition, I do not
think high-minded men will long hesi
tato as to which, as a politician, de
serves tho greater respect.
The November election this year will
occur on the 7th day of the month.
There will be elections in cleyen states
and governors will be chosen in six,
namely, Maryland, Ohio, lowa, Massa
chusetts, Kentucky and Mississippi.
PORTO RICO'S QUEER FISH.
CurlooN Specimens llrotight Back by
Uncle Snm'a Flub Experta.
Porto Rico's queer fish, sea turtles,
deep sea clams, oysters, devil fish and
"mermaids" is the subject of a most
interesting report just made by the
United States Fish Commission's ex
pedition, which was sent to Porto Rico
to investigate its aquatic life for Un
cle Sam. The steamer Fish Hawk,
having on board the Government fish
scientists, led by Professor W. Ever
mann, brought back 250 species of fish,
many of them new to science.
In Summer there is a great abund
ance of huge sea that vicin
ity, especially about Cinebra Island.
Decoys are used to take them—i. e.,
counterfeit turtles cut rudely out of
thick board and anchored out. Some
times, indeed, a picture of a turtle is
6imply painted on the upper side of a
large piece of plank, and the latter is
set afloat. Evidently the big marine
tortoises, some of which weigh 1,000
pounds apiece or more, are remarkably
stupid creatures, inasmuch as the males
take the decoys for females and seek
them so persistently that they can
hardly be driven uway. Tlrny are se
cured by passing nets around them in
the water.
A kind of devil fish of a most ugly
sort was found. A sword fish with
monstrous fin extending straight up
from its back and feelers reaching far
beneath the body was added to the col
lection of freaks.
Another odd fish found by the Gov
ernment fish hunters was the bat fish.
Oysters are plentiful, though small,
being of a different species from the
bivalves of the Atlantic coast of the
United States. They are very good to
eat, but it is doubtful if the fishery for
them will ever amount to much com
mercially. Small round clams were
brought up by the dredges in consider
able numbers from a depth of forty
fathoms, or 240 feet. They were of a
species distinct from ours, and were
found to be not edible.
No lobsters like ours seem to occur in
Porto Rican waters, but there is a so
called "spiny lobster" which is eaten
by the natives. It attains a length of
about eighteen inches. Blue crabs are
extremely plentiful about the island.
There are lots of fresh water craw
fish. Some day these crawfish may be
exported in quantities to the United
States, for they are very delicious;
but they have to be tightly packed for
the journey to prevent them from
turning on their backs, else they will
work their feet until exhausted, and
so die. The Porto Rican crawfish gets
a living by impaling small fishes and
little frogs on its "tusk," as the horn
between its eyes is called.
There is no fishery for the manatee
in Porto Rico, though specimens of
that huge marine mammal are some
times seen in the tidal rivers. The
creature is a near relative of the ex
tinct rhytina, or sea cow. It attains a
length of eight feet and a weight of
nearly a ton. Columbus saw several
specimens on his voyages to America,
and in his writings he spoke of them as
"mermaids." He said: "They are
PORTO RICAN CRAB,
not as handsome as painted, but their
faces are somewhat human-like." In
1878 there was a manatee at the Lon
don Zoological Gardens. It would not
eat a thing hut lettuce, and this had
to he of the French sort. Inasmuch
as it consumed one hundred pounds a
day the beast's hoard bill was pretty
steep.
Two species of fishes found in the
neighborhood of Porto Rico are poison
ous. One of these is the jurel, a kind
of mackerel, which attains a weight of
twenty pounds. Another is the mel
etta, a tropical herring, the most dan
gerous part of which is the roe. It is
not easily distinguished from another
herring, which is harmless. A finny
curio of those waters is the batflsh,
which imitates a piece of coral so ar
tistically that it is difficult to detect
the cheat unless the creature moves.
When it does move it seems to walk on
four legs, which are In reality fins. It
has a second pair of eyes, looking for
ward, near the tail.
Most interesting of all the creatures
that inhabit Porto Rican waters are
the great marine tortoises. These are
of three species—the green turtle, log
gerhead and the hawksbill. The log
gerhead has been known to attain a
weight of 1,600 pounds. Al 1,000 it Is
eight feet long and nine teet across
the hack, including the flippers. It is
a very fast and strong swimmer, and
the only way to take it Is to catch it
asleep on the water. Often specimens
are seen many miles from land, float
ing on the waves in peaceful slumber.
Unlike the other big sea turtles, the
loggerhead is carnivorous. With Its
powerful jaws it easily crackthe shells
of large conches, eating tie "meats"
of those mollusks. It feeds on crabs
and shellfish of all sorts.
The green turtles are the ones that
are chiefly sought with decoys of the
kind previously described, " hey some
times weigh as much as I.COO pounds,
and their flesh Is one of the most priz
ed of table delicacies. Living in deep
water, they feed on sea plavts.
After browsing on these ocean pas
tures they go to the river uouths for
baths in fresh water, which they seem
. to need from time to time.
A curiouH discovery was the fact that
he fish in Pojto Rican mountain
streams live in caves and holes in the
rocky banks, and cannot be caught, by
traps or otherwise, in the current. This
is not on account of timidity or wari
ness, as in the case of our brook trout,
hut because of a peculiar necessity
which compels the fish to bide itself.
A SONG. •*
DY ERNEST A. NEWTON.
There's a sweetness in the air
When the sun is low,
And the sky is flushed and bare.
And the light winds blow;
While the shadows come and go
As the night doth fall,
Along the misty moor laud where the
curlews call.
There's a lady full of grace
Whom I loved of yore,
AYul the* lovelight on her face
Shineth evermore;
And I long as heretofore
For the night to fall
Along the misty moor land where the
curlews call.
Dear love, can I forget
Through the flying years
Thy face amid the fret
Of their pains and tears;
Nay, my heart remembers yet
When the night doth fall
Along the misty moor land where the
curlews call.
AN UNPREMED
ITATED THEFT.
Mrs. Spreadbrow sat under the big
willow in her front garden. Behind her
stood the trim cottage, and in the grass,
almost at her feet, gamboled Eddy, her
youngest born, and the new white and
black puppy.
From the gyration of the two young
creatures on the grass.Mrs. Spreadbrow
let her eyes wander drearily across the
bay to the irregular sky line of the big
city, where she knew that Mr. Spread
brow was busily engaged in converting
bales of cotton into brisk bank notes.
Ah, thought she, happily, she had
much to be thankful for, the best hus
band in the world, promising family,
a charming home on Staten Island and
But at thiß juncture her reverie
was broken in upon by the sound of
footsteps on the gravel walk leading
from the front gate to the house, and
looking up, she beheld the comfortable
figure of her dear friend, Mrs. Town
ley.
There followed a scene such as any
lady who has been surprised by the
sudden and unexpected arrival of a
valued friend can readily imagine. In
the course of it Mrs. Townley was con
veyed to.the parlor of the trim cottage,
to sit and "cool off" before going up
stairs.
"Take off your bonnet, dear," said
her cheery hostess. "I will put your
satchel and parcel and things on this
chair. O. I have so much to tell you
about and scold you for; why haven't
you come down before?"
In the midst of Mrs. Townley's ex
planations as to why she had absented
herself, there burst through the open
French window, like the advent of a
whirlwind, the puppy, Sport, in full
cry, followed by Eddy.
Round and round the room they cir
cled for some moments and then, obedi
ent to the oft-repeated commands of his
mother, the little youth turned and em
braced their visitor with much hearti
ness. The peace that followed these
demonstrations was rudely put to flight
by the click of the front gate, and the
cry from Eddy, who was stationed at
the window announcing "a lady com
ing."
"Somebody to call. How provoking!"
said Mrs. Spreadbrow, with a pucker of
her placid brow. "Come, Maria, let's
go up stairs before Delia goes to the
door. There goes the bell! Never mind
your things."
In an instant the room was cleared of
all save the black and white puppy,
who shambled about for a moment,
then trotted out into the garden by the
same route he had come in.
"It's a young lady, Mrs. Spreadbrow,
and she says she wants to see you on
business," announced Delia, a moment
later, thrusting her head through the
door of the room to which Mrs. Spread
brow and her friend had retired.
"Dear me! what can she want?" The
lady's voice expressed as much irrita
tation as that kindly organ could em
body.
As she entered the parlor, a tall, slim
girl, who had been standing nervously
in the middle of the room, advanced to
meet her, and the ioy tone and manner
that Mrs. Spreadbrow had determined
to assume toward the disturber of her
seclusion melted away as the pretty
young creature lifted a pair of sad dark
eyes to her face and said in ah em
barrassed voice.
"Please pardon me for intruding. I
have come to —to "
"Pray sit down," interrupted Mrs.
Spreadbrow, cheerily.
"Thank you," said the girl, and
dropped Into a chair. "I will not de
tain you long. I have here a chil
dren's history——"and from the depths
of a roomy satchel she produced a
small book—"that Catcham & Teasam
are publishing "
Ah! Now. Mrs. Spreadbrow knew the
worst. "But I don't want It," she said,
gently.
"It won't do any—any—harm—to—to
look at it." The girl spoke as if trying
to repeat a lesson, and with a wistful
look in her face.
"Yes, It will; because if I let you
show it to me I may buy it, and I real
ly don't want it."
"Nobody does; but you have put your
rejection of it very kindly," said the
girl, rising to go.
Her voice trembled, and the smile she
managed to screw her pretty lips into
was far from cheerful. Mrs. Spread
brow was touched. There was some
thing so pathetic about the voice and
manner, and she was so very young
and so very pretty. The motherly lady
laid her hand on the gill's arm, saying
softly:
"Let me give you a glass of claret be
fore you set out again in the heat—O!"
For the little book agent had turned
away to hide the tears she couid not
restrain.
"Excuse me," she murmured, "it's the
hot weather, and —and not being ac
ouatomed to the work. I— began only
yesterday, and it's a long trip to and
from New York."
"Sit down," urged Mrs. Spreadbrow,
gently, "and I will go and get the
wine."
When rhe returned the girl had quite
recovered and was sitting quietly at the
window smiling at the gambols of the
puppy. She apologized for having
given away to her emotions, sipped her
wine and then rose again to go.
"Thank you so much for your kind
ness," she said warmly, and "good-
Jiyi"
"Stop," exclaimed MTS. Spreadbrow,
"I've changed my mind about the book,
I'll take it."
"You really need it?" with a percep
tible brightening of the eyes.
"I can't get on without a history for
Eddy. I never thought of Sport's hav
ing destroyed the one he had."
When the necessary negotiations had
been concluded and the pretty book
agent had departed. Mrs. Spreadbrow
returned to her guest with many apol
ogies for her long absence and bubbling
over with the pathetic romance she had
woven from the materials furnished by
the young girl's words and manner.
The two ladies talked over this and
similar instances, until they were both
in a tearful state, and Mrs. Townley,
to turn the tide of feeling, proposed go
ing into the parlor and opening the
nubbly little package she had brought
and which she said contained some
trifles for the children.
This proposition was hailed with joy
by Mrs. Spreadbrow. Mrs. Townley
was in the act of untying the last
string, when she suddenly bethought
her of her black satchel, in which it was
her custom to carry her purse, and
which had been deposited with her bon
net and parasol on a chair in the cor
ner of the room. With the precipitancy
invariably displayed by her sex at such
junctures, she rose and stepped over
to get it. The parasol and bonnet were
on the chair, but not the satchel.
"Are you sure that you didn't take
it into the library?" asked Mrs. Spread
brow, after the parlor bad been search
ed.
"I know I didn't," responded Mrs.
Townley, with tremulous irritation.
"But of course we can look."
The satchel was not in the library, the
only room occupied by the ladies since
Mrs. Townley's arrival; nor did it turn
up any where in the house, which with
anxious inconsistency was searched
from top to bottom. Mrs. Townley had
become very pale and Mrs. Spreadbrow
trembled with excitement and chagrin.
"O, this is dreadful," she said at last.
"I—l hate to think it possible, but it
must have been stolen. How much
was in the purse?"
"A hundred dollars," responded Mrs.
Townley. "I brought it with me for
safety. But who—who? There has been
no one-—"
"The little book agent," gasped Mrs.
Spreadbrow. "She is the only person
who has been in the parlor besides my
self since you left it. Is it possible—
can it be—-that innocent-looking—O,
dear!" *
But Mrs. Spreadbrow was a woman
of action, albeit mild and gentle, and
she sprang to her feet, fiercely clench
ing her small, soft fists. "I'll follow
her!" she cried. Do —you go one way,
Maria; I will go another, and Delia and
the children shall go in the other direc
tions. O, we will run her down! The
little hypocrite!"
In a few minutes the house was emp
tied of occupants, barring the cook,
who stood with her elbows on the fence
and watched the departing search
party, and the black and white puppy,
who, in his foolish way, growled at
and worried something under the big
willow.
With the hot August sun pouring
down upon their beads the pursurers
scurried from house to house, while
with what Mrs. Spreadbrow termed
"the intense cunning of a thief," the
little book agent managed to elude
them.
At last Mrs. Spreadbrow found a maid
servant who said that she had seen the
girl enter the railway station and that
if Mrs. Spreadbrow hurried she could
overtake her before the arrival of the
train for St. George. Stationward the
anxious lady sped, fear and indigna
tion, intermixed with a spice of uncer
tainty.
What should she do if the girl refused
to give up the purse? Ah, she knew;
she would get on the train, And a po
liceman at St. George, and intercept her
as she stepped on the boat.
She reached the station just in time
to see the book agent's skirt whisk
through the door of a forward car; she
herself was hauled on to the last car by
an obliging brakeman, just as the train
moved off.
Arrived at St. George, Mrs. Spread
brow hurriedly accosted a policeman,
explained that the young woman in the
gray linen dress, carrying the black
satchel, had committed a theft, and
urged him excitedly to detain her. The
officer hesitated a moment, and then
interposing his portly form between
the young girl and the gang plank,
touched her lightly on the arm and
said, pointing to Mrs. Spreadbrow:
"Do you know this lady?"
"Yes —that is, I went to her house
this morning and she was "
"Will you come out of this crowd?"
said Mrs. Spreadbrow, her firmness
suddenly forsaking her, "I want to
speak to you."
"But I will miss my boat," expostu
lated the girl nervously. My mother
will be waiting for me and —what can
you mean by calling a policeman to
stop me?" she concluded with frighten
ed eyes, as if a full realization of the
situation had but Just flashed upon her.
"The fact is," explained the police
man, "this lady wants me to arrest you
for theft, but maybe you can explain
certain suspicious circumstances."
The girl was white to the lips now,
and the look of despairing fright In her
eyes was pitiful to see.
"For theft —me—for theft!" she said
with stiff Hps,
"O, do come where it is quiet," urged
the accuser, looking as distressed as the
accused and then the three went Into
the ferry-house.
"Sit down," said Mrs. Spreadbrow,
weakly, when they had reached a quiet
corner of the big room.
"Thank you, I prefer to ntand," re
plied the girl proudly. "And now may
1 ask what you accuse me of stealing?"
"I—I," said Mrs. Spreadbrow. trem
bling before the pale "little thief," "we
think you took Mrs. Townley's purse
out of my parlor this morning; you
were the only person in the room beside
myself between the time ehe left it
there and the time we found it gone
and "
"My God," murmured the book agent
dropping into a seat and covering her
face with her hands. Presently she re
covered herself and turning the police
man said: "Search my satchel, please,
and you," to Mrs. Spreadbrow, "you
may search my person; and may God
forgive you!"
"O, my dear, I can't, I can't—l can't;
when I look at you I can't be—be— But
everything's against you." Mrs. Spread
brow's eyes were full of tears and her
voice trembled.
"There ain't no purse here hut this
one," remarked the policeman, who had
'been rummaging through the contents
of the black satchel, holding up a 6llm
pocket-book.
"Tbat'B mine; look through it; you
will find Just 20 cents," The book agent
spoke very calmly.
"That's right," he assented, putting
the purse back. "But of course the
money mußl he hid on the lady's per
son," he added oautiously.
"Here it Is! Here it is!" cried a
panting but triumphant voice, and Mrs.
Townley, flushed and excited, rushed
toward the trio waving a much-mauled
Russian-leather hag, such as some
ladles are fond of carrying their hand
kerchiefs and purses in.
"It was that wretched black and
white puppy! He must have taken it
out of the parlor and Eddie found him
chewing It to pieces in the garden.
Why, what is the matter, Hattie?" for
Mrs. Spreadbrow had dropped into a
seat and regardless of curious eyes, was
weeping piteouely.
"I—l —l'm sorry. Pie—please for
give me."
The little book agent wavered a mo
ment, indignation, scorn and pity chas
ing each other across her face. Then
she slipped down beside the distressed
little lady and taking one of her limp
hands said simply:
"I do forgive you. Pray don't cry.
But, please, next time you miss any
thing, be sure the black and white pup
py hasn't taken it before you decide
that anybody else has."
She could not refrain from this mild
shot, and though it was tremulously
aimed, it did not miscarry, but went
straight to Mrs. Spread'brow's heart,
where it has lodged ever since.
And so it was the black and white
Puppy! He is a sedate dog now and a
great favorite of Miss Amelia Banks—
ex-book agent—who declares that if it
had not been for him she would never
have obtained her present lucrative and
congenial position In Mr. Spreadbrow's
office, where the painful memories of
her experlenoe as a hook agent—and
other painful memories as well- —are
fast fading into oblivion.
