There hate beon a number of dis patches to the elToct that the president's assassin, Czolgosz, was a resident of various parts of the country, The latest is that a few years ago he was a resi dent of Duryea. They say that a man auswcriig his description and giving his name as Nietnan was head of the , gang that committed depredations there and was at the head of the movement to blow up a priest's house. Tho Shickshinny and Huntington Valley Railway Company has been or ganized at Shickshinny and a charter for the same obtained. The road is to run from Shickshinny to Harveyville and is acrea miles long. R. P. Robinson is tho president, li. M. Tubbs secretary and E. \T. Garrison treasurer. Justice of the Peace S. C. Motiska. of Duryea, who has caused the authorities tnoro # trouble in jumping his hail and dodging capias than any other man in tho county, was again missing from court on Saturday when a case against him was called. The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company has Instituted proceedings to prevent the proposed now trolley line between Wilkesbarru and Hazleton from enter ing either city, on the ground that the company is not obeying the provisions of its charter, as it will not carry freight as well as passengers. The officials of Mauch Chunk and those of Carbon county celebrated ' the opening of new trolley linn which Is to connect Mauch Chunk and Leliigh ton, as far as the top of Flag Staff moun tain. DevfiKtntinir Power of LOCUMM. A swarm of these Insects stopped the advance of a Russian army. They filled the air and blinded both officers and men, so that the former could give no orders, and even if they had done so the men could not hav.e obeyed them, j The horses would not face them, and j thoy-lay on the ground many inches j tldck. Every man and horse in the army was incrusted with the insects, and tlieir clothing was literally eaten off the men as they stood helpless and blinded. The railways were useless, as the locusts covered the rails, and the I oil which exuded from their bodies i when crushed prevented the driving j wheel* from "biting." After they had i settled wliftlo regiments were detached for Hie purpose of trampling them to death. Trenthes were dug across their . path and lUld with burning coals, but the cDowdiiig swarms actually smother ed Mbc fire, vast were their numbers. Even lu a little island like Cyprus in one year •fifth of the entire revenue was speat in destroying the locusts, and eflpQGiollj their eggs. When these eggs are laid, they are inclosed In a horny envelope called a "pod," each pod contfriniieg 35 eggs. In seven moEths 1,339 tons of pods were de- ; stroyod. Now, a single ton of pods contains €0,030,000 eggs, and yet, In spile of this almost incredible destruc tion, the locusts are still a dreadful plague and show little If any symptoms of diminution la numbers.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children, The Kind You Have Always Bought sZZlrTof COUNTERFEIT GOLD. GILDING POWDERS ARE MADE OF COPPER AND SPELTER. Ilow the Material Tlint Given tho Shlßlnic, Metallic FinUh to Mirror ami Picture l'rnun-H In Produced. Gold I-enf Without Gold. How many persons who see the shin ing gold in colored printing and on mirror and picture frames know that gold does not enter at all into the com position of the stuff that produces these golden effects? The shining metallic effect Is pro duced by a fine powder made from a mixture of Iwonze and spelter. This offers the cheapest and best means of gi'ving the rich surface demanded in wall papers, printing, lithography, fres coing and In a vast range of manufac tured articles of wood, paper and iron. The material used Is so called Dutch metal, an alloy of copper and spelter. The relative proportions are varied to produce different colors. The larger the percentage of spelter the lighter or more yellowish will be the tint of the alloy. The copper and spelter are smelted In graphite crucibles containing about 400 pounds of metal, which, when com pletely fused, Is run off into molds, forming half round ingots two feet long by half an Inch In thickness. Aft er cooling these are bound into bundles and sent to the rolling mill, where they are passed cold nine times through a double set of steel rolls under enor mous pressure. This flattens them and draws them out Into thin ribbons from 50 to GO feet long and something more than one Inch wide. Cold rolling un der such extreme pressure makes the metal brittle, so It passes to the an nealing furnace, which is heated by wood fire, as the sulphur In coal or coke would be Injurious to the ribbons. Having been softened and rendered ductile by annealing, they are cleansed In an acid bath, cut Into lengths of about three feet and collected In bun dles of 40 or 50 strips each. They are laid between sheets of zinc and passed under hammers which beat the metal strips to the thinness of tissue paper. This requires six successive beatings, and great skill must be exorcised to produce a uniform and unbroken foil. After the third beating the metal strips ate taken from between the sheets of zinc, loosened from each other and cleansed by immersion In a hath of tartrate of potassium. The cleaning Is repeated after the last beating, and the sheets are hung on lines to dry. In the beginning the rolled strips are a dull gray metallic color, at the fourth boat ing tho yellowish color begins to show, and after the sixth they are clear and bright as gold. The defective leaves are then thrown out and the perfect ones cut luto small squares, which are laid together by hand in packets of several hundred each and inclosed within an envelope of sheet brass. The packets return to the annealing furnace, where they are softened by heating and slow cooling, and then go to the beaters, where they are reduced under Battening hammers to the thinness of real gold leaf, so thin that It can be blown away by the breath. The manufacture of bronze powder consists In grading, clipping and pul verizing the various bronze foils to an even. Impalpable powder and is an In dustry of comparatively recent date. It began as a means of using up and utilizing the imperfect leaves which came as waste from the heaters of gold, silver and bronze. These were cut by hand into lino clippings and then ground to powder in hand mills of simple construction. With the lapse of time and the spread of artistic indus tries the uses of bronze powder in creased until the demand far outran the supply of waste, and the leaf metal is now made on a large scale. The heating process llattens out a pound of copper and spelter alloy to an area of about 500 square feet, and in this condition the square sheets as they comd from the brass envelopes are sheared Into small fragments and rub bed with olive oil through a steel sieve having ten meshes to the Inch and then pnssed to the stamping and grinding machines, where they are pulverized by steam or water power to the bronze powder of commerce. The grinding occupies from one to four hours, ac cording to the grade or quality of the powder to be produced, which Is of four grades, from coarse to superfine. The superfluous oil Is removed by heat ing under pressure, and the powder Is then carried Into centrifugal clarl fiers, or grading machines, which, turn ing at a high speed, expel the powder through tine orifices iu the form of dust, which settles on inclosed shelves, according to weight and fineness, the finer particles at the top, the coarser below, and In this way the powder is divided Into its various grades.—New York Press. lion- CoHtoniN Vary.

She Siicccsmfnlly Plnyeil on the WcnkiieaH of the Htntenninii. The New York Herald tells how a diplomatic j*oung lady who understood the weakness of politicians secured some years ago a place in the state service. The day before the opening of the session a shy girl knocked at the door of the attorney general's office. "Is the attorney general in?" she asked timidly. "Yes," said the clerk. "He will see you when he gets through with this long line of job hunters. Just have a seat." In the numerous chairs, on the office lounge and standing were 20 more waiting for a turn to press some claim for a position. The attorney general was rather a gruff looking man, and lie dismissed each with the remark: "1 can't do any thing for you. Sorry, you know, but there are hundreds of applicants, and each officer, every legislator, has a dozen begging for each position." When the timid girl's turn came, she handed the impatient looking ofllcer a letter. She said nothing. She hardly looked Into his face. "I'm sorry. Miss C., that I can do nothing for you. It was foolish for you to come here expecting to get work. I'd be glad to help you If 1 could; but, you see, it's this way: 1 have no influence I to get you a position. 1 am very"— "We were speaking of that at home, but I thought it would do no harm to see you," she interrupted. "And we were saying what a pity it was that you had lost your Influence." The stale otliclal winced. He looked as if somethlng hurt him. "brown," he said, turning to his dep uty with unnecessary abruptness, "this young lady is to have a position in the enrolling departinent. See that, there is a place for her if you have to muzzle every legislator in the building." Oh, for a glimpse of a natural boy— A boy with freckled face, With forehead white 'neath tangled hair And limbs devoid of grace; Whose feet foe In, while his elbows flare; Whose knees arc patched nil ways; Who turns a9 rod as a lobster t'jpicn You give bim a word of praise; A boy who's born with an appetite, Who seeks the pantrv shell To cut his "piece" with resounding smack, Who isn't gone on himself; A "Robinson Crusoe" reading boy, Whose pockets bulge with trash, Who knows the use of rod and gun And where the brook trout splash. It's true he'll sit In the easiest chair With his hat on his tousled head; That his hands and feet arc everywhere, For youth must have room to spread, lJut he doesn't dub his father "old man" Nor deny his mother's call Nor ridicule what his elders say Ur think that he knows it all. A rough and wholesome natural boy Of a good old fashioned clay- God bless him, if he's still on earth, For he'll make a man some day! —Detroit Free Press. | FijKftfjLM with Eureka liar- B U ■ fii uess Oil It ir- v B 3 si- is the damp, ¥ w \ \ 8| B do not break, y j*\ V g No rough Mir- \\ A /l/Fi A ■ I Made by v* J/ \"UM \\ Standard Oil j\ V/J \ Company £jr tr \ ilipj m ts rftiMfsU % frt^ I Shoes for 1 Fall Wear! | Very large stocks of the'latest stylo gl Fall Shoes have just been received. aj We invite inspection from the most S critical, knowing that the goods we jA now have to offer you are the peer of anything sold elsewhere at the same |ji| price.
