POLITICAL POINTERS.
There Is not likely to be much of a
struggle ihis year to secure the Demo
cratic nomination for poor director.
About the only candidate so far who
has received any mention Is Henry
Belneuian. of East Mauch Chunk, who
filled the office some years ago, and has
a wide acquaintance throughout the
Hazleton region.— Mauch Chunk Newt.
Notwithstanding the many Important
offices to be filled, there Is little interest
taken In local politics throughout the
region this year. This apathy Is not
confined to any particular locality or
party, but Is general.
The man who pines in secret for a
nomination and forgtSts to use printers'
Ink to mako his want known. Invariably
comes out behind when the votes are
counted.
The Republicans of Foster township
will hold their primaries on Saturday
evening and the convention on Monday
evening.
The Republican primaries In the

Warred Eight Yearn for $lO.
Ten trees, valued atßl9, are the cause I
of the dispute in the case of Culver
against Hazlett argued before the super
ior court at Scranton on Tuesday, In
which the records show a bill of costs
already amounting to 81,148.75. The
litigants, G. N. Culver and George
Hazlett, are two white-haired Luzerne
farmers, who have boon at law for the
last eight years because Hazlett cleared
a little strip of land which Culver, his
neighbor, claims.
After two days' trial the dividing line
was fixed with the aid of sixty-year-old
surveys, but Culver disputed and took
an appeal. The fees of live lawyers for
eight years are not considered in the
above meijjioned bill of costs.
Sacrificed In the Philippine!).
Two more Schuylkill county veterans
of the Porto Rican campaign of the
Spanish-American war are dead. They
are John Ziegler and Moses Cohen, both

and word came this week that he was
killed while in action in the Philippines.
Cohen died of consumption at Shenan
doah.

doah, who enlisted in the United States
army at Hazleton last summer, was
killed in a battle on Sunday in the

"The Gunner's Mate's" initial per
formance In New York city took place
Monday evening and was received with
great enthusiasm. The production has
been favorably criticised by the dramat
ic editors of the metropolitan news
papers. "Finnegan's Ball" is also muk
| ing a big hit at the Metropolis theatre
lln that city. It will appear hero with
the complete New York cast of twenty
| six people next Thursday evening.
Mirers Warned Against Montana.
Ex-County Treasurer John S. Mc-
Groarty, after spending two years in
Montana, warns Pennsylvania miners
to keep away from that state. Mr. Mc-
Groarty says:
• "The solo industry of Butte is that of
mining, and tho smelting of gold, silver
and copper ores. Miners receive 53.50
and 84 for each day of eight hours.
Tho lowest wages paid for any kind of
labor is 83 per day. But to the miners
of Luzerne county I would empatically
say, 'do not let big wages tempt you to
try your fortune in Montana.' i have
frequently seen as high as two thousand
idle miners standing about the streets,
each one anxious and willing to work,
but unable to find empioymunt.
"I havo known men to 'rustle' three
months at a time to obtain work, and
after they have succeeded they found it
harder then tboy could endure. At
present the operators are rushing the
output of the mines and the bosses drive
tho workmen to the limit. The mines
are exceedingly deep, and hot as tho
infernal regions. Addod to this is the
deadly copper wat. r. Accidents are
numerous, because of tho treacherous
nature of the roof, and the indiscrimin
ate use of high explosives. Tiie Penn
sylvania coal miner would bo at a dis
advantage, his experience here would
count for very little. The quartz min
ing Is altogether different froin the
mining of anthracite, and he would have
too learn all over."
Meeting of Council.
Freeland borough council met on
Monday evening with every member
present. The report of the building
committee, awarding the contract to
erect the new borough building to
S. Y. Fredrick, of Hazleton, and the
construction of a vault to L. H. Lentz,
of town, was approved.
The fire committee was given au
thority to provide for the heating and
painting of the fire building oil the Hill.
The following bills were ordered paid:
J. E. Griffith, 8682.25, Asa Rnte, 814.IS;
Hazleton Machinery and Supply Com
pany, 825.60; Hazletou Standard, $8.40;
American Fire Engine Company, $113.25;
John Dusheck, $13.50; Henry Mincer,
82.
Immediately- after adjournment the
councilmen met with tho directors of
tho Citizens' Hose Company. George
U. Hartman and James P. McNelis
were nominated for chief of the fire de
partment. The hallot resulted in the
eluctiuu of Mr. Hartman by a vote of 0
to 4.
Tommy Shearer at the Grand.
Tommy Shearer and his company
opened a week's engagement at the
Grand opera house Monday evening in
"A Day of Reckoning." A large
audience was present and enjoyed the
performance. The company contains
a number of good people and gives a
show well worth the admission.
On Tuesday evening one of tho small
est houses of the season saw "O'Flynn
in Mexico" produced. The acting was
all that could be desired, but the play
was not of the character which pleases
Freeland people.
Last evening "Temptation of Money"
was presonted in good style to another
small audience.
The plays for tho balance of tho week
are: Tonight, "Tho Girl from Porto
Rico;" Friday night, "Cyrano do lier
gorac;" Saturday night, "In the Heart
of tiie Rockies." On Saturday after
noon at 2.15 o'clock a matinee will be
given.
Fall to Meet the Miners.
The invitation of the United Mine
Workers to the operators of the Lacka
wanna and Wyoming regions to meet
with them in conference at Scranton on
Tuesday was completely ignored. Not
a single representative of tho mine
owners put in an appearance. The
press committee of the miners gave out
a statement to tho effect that another
conference will bo called for January
18, and that if tiie operators again re
fuse to meet thein other means will be
adopted to have their grievances con
sidered.
Tuesday's mooting was attended by
about 150 delegates, representing all the
local unions in Lackawanna and upper
Luzerne counties and by officers of
Districts Nos. 7 and 9, embracing the
Shenandoah, Shamokin and Lehigh
regions.

NEW YORK FASHIONS
THEY COME HIGH FOR THOSE
WHO MUST HAVE THEM.
Bargain Gowns—Dest Economy to
Buy Good Materials—Wise Employ
ment of Odds and Ends—The Nar
row Turn-Over Collars.
An out-of-town friend sent me a
clipping from a magazine, which stat
ed that tailor-made suits might be
had for $5 up. She enclosed sls, and
minute directions as to cut, color, ma
terial, etc. I knew before I started
out just what a wild goose chase 1
was destined for, but she was a dear
friend and I resolved to take nothing
for granted.
I wasted two whole days, spent two
dollars in carfare and luncheon, lost
my patience, aroused the ire of divers
saleswomen because I tried to get a
stylish, well-made gown for the
money. I found at last the exact copy
of the cut she sent me, and the price
was S4O.
The so-called bargains in the big
department stores are bargains only
when the purchaser can remodel the
garment that is slighty behind the
style and adapt it to her needs. The
exhorbitant prices asked for some
gowns and coats often apparently
have no cause for being. It may be
due to the special cut, the use of an
exclusive material or an unusual
amount of handwork that often dou
bles the actual cost of the garment,
fashionable women who order their
gowns from Paris, or can buy the lat
est importations, have already dis
carded a fashion by the time the great
feminine world is wearing it on the
street, so the woman who is not par
ticular as to the latest mode can often
pick up beautiful costumes at a low
cost, but they cannot always be had
by seeking.
Except for fleeting styles, it pays to
buy good materials and well-made
trimmings. One clever woman, who
does most of her own dressmaking
and makes her hats says she is very
careful to buy the best her purse af
fords, and the moment the trimming
becomes out of date she rips it off and
lays it aside, knowing that in "seven
years" it will be in style again. She
has an ermine collar on her new
tailor-made suit that was a Christmas
present when she was nine years old,
and a white evening waist adorned
with silk fringe that decorated her
comencement gown years ago.
"I never give away flnery," she says.
"If a friend needs anything that I
have for a certain purpose, I am gen
erous, but indiscriminate giving is
worth nothing and never appreciated."
Fur hats are especially fashionable,
and if you have any scraps of fur, you
can, if you are careful, make a toque
yourself, while sable and chinchilla
are the favorites, other furs make
pretty combinations. To cut fur, lay
it face downward on a board and cut
on the skin side with a sharp knife.
Sew it overhand on the wrong side
and smooth the seam with the fingers.
The very narrow turn over white
collars can easily be made at home.
These are made of sheerest cambric,
Fawn or mull with the finest hand
embroidery or edged with real lace.
Dainty embroidered handkerchiefs are
used for this purpose or even the
sheer hemstitched ones. These turned
over collars are s.ipped into a band
the width of an ordinary stock collar,
and this band is sufficiently stiff to
give support to the tie that is worn.
A vivid contrast to the animal scarfs
and boas seen at a recent festival was
a boa made entirely of violets. An
other remarkable specimen in neck
wear is a very short chiffon cape and
long ends made of chenille fringe and
sable fur.
Silks, gauzes and velvets are all
painted by hand and used as trim
ming. Of course, the work must be
exquisitely done, for there is nothing
more ugly than crude painting on a
handsome gown, and even when well
done, must be used most sparingly.
The aim of dressmakers is to make
the waist appear as long as possible,
and belts, when worn, should be quite
inconspicuous. On many of the cloth
gowns the waists are put over the
skirt and then the finish is the nar
rowest possible bias band with ma
chine stitching, the ends of which
cross in front or at the back with hook
and eye.
Fancy muffs are to be the style,
and all the good costumes now have
muffs made especially for them. They
are very small affairs, these fancy
muffs, but the materials of which they
are composed cost a large price. Lace
and fur are combined in a most charm
ing haphazard way, with an utter dis
regard as to the value of the material.
A muff made entirely of lace will have
a band of sable around the centre and
tneu six or eight sable tails tied in
front, with a knot of ribbon and occa
sionally a bunch of very tine artificial
flowers. None of these muffs are large,
and apparently are in contrast to the
large muffs of fur that are so smart
with the tailor gowns. Bear fur, the
black, the gray and the cinnamon
bear muffs with long boas to match,
are considered particularly desirable
this year, and when a woman is tall
enough to wear them without looking
like a bear cub herself, the effect is
certainly very good. Sable and mink
are as popular as ever, while chin
chilla is used as commonly as though
it were torchon lace.
The princesse style of dress is be
coming more and more fashionable, as
more and more dressmakers are learn
ing how to turn out a good-looking
gown made in this style. A garment
that used to be called the polonaise is
more often seen than a whole prin
cesse gown, although it is called by
the latter name. It is a long, tight-fit
ting coat worn over quite a long skirt
made of the same material, and a
flounce of the underskirt shows below
the coat This coat fastens at the
left side-, or in the front, and, as a
mlu whatever trimming there is is

The shop windows are tilled with love
ly importations, which rival anything
at the show. The materials which
seem to predominate are heavily em
brlodered satins, panne velvets, che
nille, embroidered laces and perforated
satins. The colors this season are de
cidedly the pastels.
A ONES OLCOTT.
Cost of the Army.
Imagine a block of solid gold, 11%
feet square at the base and 11% feet
high; its weight, in round numbers,
1G9% tons, or 339,085 1-3 pounds. This
is the amount of gold which it took to
support the army during the past fis
cal year. The amount in coined dol
lars was $92,000,000.
The translation .nto cubic gold was
made by ex-Director and present Ex
aminer of the Mint R. E. Preston, and
does not profess to be fractionally cor
rect. Using the same figures, any one
who is interested in making more
realistic the processional figures of
the annual reports, may discover that
the total amount of money appropri
ated by congress at its last session
(aggregating about a billion dollars)
would make a cubic block of gold 26%
feet square. Its weight would be 1,-
841 tons. If set in the middle of an
ordinary street there would scarcely
be room for teams to drive around it,
and the top would reach to the middle
of the third-story windows.
After all a millionaire hasn't very
much gold. It would only make a
block whose length, breadth and
thickness are about two and a half
1 feet. —Chicago Journal.
