FREELAND, PA., FEBRUARY 3, 1902
Secretary Gage did not leave the
cabinet any too soon to please men
who believe in honesty and fair deal
ing. The shady transaction in con
nection with the sale of the old New
York custom house casts a suspicion
on his integrity and he never ventured
any explanation, thus giving ground
for the belief that it admitted no solu
tion consistent with honesty. He was
authorized by special act of congress
to sell the property at public or private
sale for not less than $3,000,000, and
then rent it from the purchaser at 4
per cent, of the purchase price until
the new custom house should be ready
for use. He sold the property to the
City National Bank, the Standard Oil
company's institution, for $3,205,000.
The president of the bank took a certi
fied check for the amount to Washing
ton, and within an hour the secretary
handed hack all but $40,000 to be de
posited in the City National Bank
without interest, though the bank was
not a United States depository. It is
supposed that he kept the $40,000 back
in order that the title might still re
main in the government and thus save
the City bank $70,000 a year in taxes.
The bank's profits in dealing with Sec
retary Gage are estimated to have been
at least SI,OOO a day for a long time, as
it had $15,000,000 of the government
Tunds without paying a single cent of
.nterest. The only question about
which there seems to be any doubt in
the public mind is whether the secre
tary received a share of the swag or
whether in the goodness of his heart
he permitted the Standard Oil company
to keep it all in order to assist a strug
gling infant industry. No wonder he
grew furious in Philadelphia recently
when some one made mention of the
New York transaction in his presence.
It touched a tender spot.
There were only seven votes on a
collateral question on Mr. Knox's con
firmation that appeared to be in op
position, while there were 43 the other
way. Then the nomination was con
firmed without division, showing there
were no senators so earnest in oppo
sition as to call for a record vote. The
debate did not go to the merits or de
merits of Mr. Knox, but was con
fined to the proposition for further
delay in order that his outside oppo
nents might present fresh evidence as
to his alleged sympathy or alliance
with trusts. In this matter Mr. Knox
lias merely suffered, and that only to a
very limited extent, by the position of
liis party and administration, under
both McKinley and Roosevelt. There
is no doubt the law of 1890 expressed
Republican antagonism to trusts a few
years ago. It was used as an elec
tioneering argument to show the anti
trust stand of that party. For a time
it had considerable effect in holding
to party allegiance the anti-trust ele
ment; but that soon became useless.
The trusts to a very great extent ab
sorbed the Republican party and the
liw of 1890 was shelved. Pretense that
it indicated Republican policy was
abandoned, and the Republicans he
tame an ally of the trusts and depend
ed on them for material aid in carry
ing elections. The whole thing makes
a comic episode in our recent political
history, but one that is tainted with
bad faith and betrayal of public in
terests. —Pittsburg Post.
President Roosevelt has not yet ap
pointed a genuine Democrat to office
In the south or anywhere else. The
drivelling rot indulged in by the sub

ship appointment was nauseating.—
fcjabinal (Texas) Sentinel.
Is. W. Durham, the Insurance com
missioner, who leaves his work entire
ly to subordinates, while his official
duties are confined to drawing the sal
ary, is now a bigger boss than the Old
Man. What he says goes, and since he
has declared that Elkin is to be the
next machine candidate for governor
that settles the matter. It must be
rather discouraging for men who im
agine that they live under a republican
form of government to have all their
candidates picked out a few yeara
ahead, but the Republicans of boss
ridden Pennsylvania have become so
accustomed to having all their candi
dates slated by a few self constituted
bosses that they submit without a
whine, except those who are willing to

Oar HilllitrriiNtn Abroad.
Several of our lending manipulators
of the cue are seeking honors nnd
shekels in foreign lands this season,
und consequently the home interests of
both pool nnd billiards are suffering.
Of the billinrdists who have ventured
across the Atlantic the best known Is
Jacob Sclinefer, who recently won the
great championship tourney in Madi
son Square Garden, New York.
Selinefer has for several years been
the most prominent figure in the Amer-

ican billiard arena. He is the greatest
exponent of the balk line game in the
world today. George Slosson of New
York can defeat Sclinefer at cushion
caroms.
Sclinefer made a very successful trip
to 1011 rope a year ago, winning a large
amount of money in London and Paris.
1I' brought with him on his return last
summer a French crack named Buru
tel. who performed creditably in Amer
ica. Hurutel returned to Paris recently
with Sclinefer.
it is Sehaefer's intention to compete
in the various tournaments to be held
during the winter in the foreign capi
tals. He will also participate in many
specially arranged matches and hopes
to come back with a comfortable bal
ance in his pocket book.
Cnrliiß u Gan Sliy Dog.
An old hunter tells the following
story relative to gun shy dogs:
"A few years ago I owned an Irish
terrier who was not only frightened
out of his wits at the report of a gun,
but who would flee at tho sight of one
or even at the sound of the 'click' caus
ed by closing the breech. To cure him
I used to take him 011 a chain fastened
to a belt around my waist and used to
lire continually at small birds. Occa
sionally I let him cliuse a rabbit, shot
it as close in front of his nose as I
dared and then let him pick it up.
This was of course teaching him bad
manners, but to cure him of running in
was an easier matter than breaking
him of being gun shy. After a mouth
or two of this sort of thing—und it very
often meant dragging him out by main
force—lie began to understand that the
gun was quite harmless to himself and
that there was fun to bo had some
times in addition. Eventually whenev
er he saw me pick up the gun lie went
wild with excitement, and to the day
of ills death, although only a terrier,
he was one of the best dogs with the
gun I ever had."
For I IM* American Derby.
An agent of tlie British government
who lias purchased several broken
down thoroughbreds at Montgomery
Park, Tenn., for shipment to South Af
rica called on Sam llildretli in Mem
phis recently and asked that owner to
put a price on McCliesney, the sensa
tional son or Macduff.
"Oh, no!" was Ilildreth's reply.
"That colt doesn't go to Africa. He is
going to Washington park, where he'll
win the next American Derby."
llildretli thinks he lias the Derby al
ready won and is anxiously awaiting
the opening of the winter book on the
event.
Jeffrie* to Meet the Winner.
Jim Jeffries will meet the winner
of the Sharkey-Maher bout in Denver
in either March or April. When Jef
fries was in Denver recently, lie was
asked by local promoters if he would
consent to such a match, and lie stated
that lie would. A letter has since been
received in which he expressed a
strong desire to meet the winner of tlie
fight which takes place in Philadel
phia.

Sam Harris is prepared to match
Terry McGovern against "Kid" La

take tlie Lavigne end of the bet. The
only provision Harris makes is that

1y -i. 1 because " Children like il and ask for it." BEST because
I its tonic properties are so good and so strengthening that
V;_ keeps the little ones in fine, hearty condition.
// if ft jf/ a dangerous thing to give llttlo babies violent
/ cathartics that rack and rend their little bodies. DON'T
71 DO IT—give them Laxakola. For constipation, coated
tongue, simple colds and fevers it is invaluable.
I.nxnlioln for Young Girln on tbo threshold of
womanhood, has been found invaluable. When tliey bo
come pale and languid, tbo eyes dull, aching head, feet
an( l bands cold, appetite gone or abnormal, and their sys-
MRIW terns generally run down, they need building up, and their
JMjfjMM blood needs cleunsing. Give them Laxakola, its gentle
& UylMnriW bowel action to cleanse and its tonio properties to build up
the system, will show immediate and most beueflcial results.
V# I.axohola for Mother*.— Tt is particularly valuable
and useful to women, especially mothers, as It is a gentle
and safe remedy to use during all conditions of health
whenever tlicir peculiar and delicate constitutions require
a mild and eflicient laxative and tonic, while to nursing
mothers, worn out with tho care of infants and whose sys
terns therefore are particularly susceptible to diseaso
J Laxakola particularly a])pcals.

W appetite, removes muddy and blotched condition of the skin
\/ rS w " < T~ a> v and cures sick headache to a certainty by removing thecause.
Il x Z To women suffering from chronic constipation, head
aches, biliousness, dizziness, sallowness of the skin uud
dyspepsia, Laxakola will invariably bring relief.
I.ninkola for Old Folks. —ln the Autumn and
Winter of Life, when the various organs through long
'"" years of action have become more or less sluggish, it ho
oomes necessary to stimulate them by some remedy best
adapted to that purpose. That Laxakola is such, has been
pjpjßfr. proved beyond all question. Its gentle wanning, soothing
action on tho bowels, liver and kidneys, stimulates them to
increased activity, cleanses the blood, quickens tho circu
<YS luliou, and puts the whole system in u condition of health
/ and enables it to ward off disease, while its tome properties
tone up tlio system and keep it healthy.
Laxakola Does It.
Laxakola is not only the most eflicient of family remedies, hut the most economical because it com.
bines two medicines for one price, t.-nie and laxative. No other remedy RIVCS so much for the money. All

tolls of a "hundred freethinking young
ladies at a drawing room meeting—
good people strictly excluded," and con
tinues: ' Last week 1 wont to a ball, but
this is almost the only invitation I
have accepted. 1 wanted to see the
Prince of Wales in his native jungle.
It was a most magnificent spectacle
and quite a thing to see once in one's
life. I watched the prince and prin
cess through a dance, but had no op
portunity of giving tlieni—tracts! Aft
er all, a ball is not such a pandemo
nium. I had one or two really good
talks, and one noble earl said to me,
•If I did not think Christ was as near
me here as in church, I would not have
come.' "
He 3in<le a Show.
An English sailor recently paid off
at Malta, having only a day in which
to spend the money before his ship left
port, hired forty rowing boats, formed
them into a procession and, seating
himself comfortably in the stern of the
last boat, he had himself and his forty
boats rowed round and round bis ship,
much to the amusement of his com
rades. After making the tour several
times the sailor paid the boat hire and
then returned to duty, evidently well
satisfied.
The Convicts* Yell.
The latest in "yells," says the Kan
sas City Journal, is that of the con
victs on their way from the jail in the
county in which they are sentenced to
the penitentiary. A gang of fifteen of
them from Huchauan county, the sher
iff's "guests" on a special car, gave
vent to this yell at each railway sta
tion tlicy passed between St. Joseph
au,l Jefferson City a few days ago:
"Two years—five years—we will stay;
didn't like ftt. Joe anyway!"

Teddy's a tl"*ee-yoar-old, Virnve and sweet.
But, oh. Ills lips won't agree with his feet!
His feet, though small, are sturdy and
strong.
And mother can trust them all day long,
But his rosy hps. so dear to see,
Seldom will with his feet agree.
When mother says, "Come!" the fee',

But the wayward lips just pout and say,
"No, no. 1 can't!" while with patter and

The feet are rearing the mother's side.
When the lamns are lighted and stars ap

And we say. "It is bedtime. Toddy, dear,"
: The feet submit to be quietly led
I Up the long stairs to the little white bed,
While the naughty lips keep time all the
"No, no. I can't; no, no!" they say.
Those dear little feet are mother's delight,
For they try to keep Teddy In paths of

Wh.-n Teddy's lips with his feet agree!
