FREELAND, SEPTEMBER 17, 1902 The Quay machine is hard pushed Tor money this year, and the rich Re publicans are not coming down with tho cash as usual. One prominent member of the Philadelphia Union League, who is earnestly supporting Governor Pattison and tho whole Dem ocratic state ticket, sarcastically ob served that he would act in accord ance with the suggestion of tho beg ging circular received and contribute "according to inclination." His check will not he made payable to the order of the boss this time, and he has plenty of company^ After killing every measure asked for by the miners in the last 'legisla ture, Quay and Penrose are pretend ing sympathy for the distressed strik ers. This won't deceive the men, and at the polls in November they will settle with the boss tools of the coal monopolists. . Every day since the Erie convention the prospect of the election of its ticket has brightened. In every part of the state there is a rising tide of pubtie sentiment in favor of Pattison, Guthrie. Nolan and reform. Every Democrat has something to do this year. Let every part of the or ganization be strengthened, every doubtful voter be looked after, every publit meeting made a brilliant suc cess. Spread tlie truth. Each issue of thits paper, frdta now until election, should he read by as many fair-minded RepifMieans as possible. Hand it around courteously. The revolt against organized public robbery is growing stronger every day. Help it along. The sueeessful fight of 1890 began in Reading. AH the indications are that history will repeat itself this year. The Democratic lines are in splendid 3ha-pe at the opening of tho great reform battle of 1902. Help along the great work of house cleaning at Harrisburg. Send your contribution, large or small, to the Democratic state chairman. Every dollar received will be wisely and hon estly expended. The old Quay parrot will bo put ou the spit next week and roasted alive. Violated Factory Law. Jonathan Davis, tho deputy factory inspector of this district, has had war rants sworn out for tho arrest of W. J. Barry, of Luzerne borough, and A. J Ellsworth, of Dorrauceton, justices of tho peaco. Thoy are charged with violating a section of the factory laws iu the issuing of permits to children to work in a manufacturing establishment. The names of six children appear on tho warrants who were given permits by tho defendants to work in the Blue Ridgo canning factory. Tho penalty for the offense is SSOO. Cliarle* Hondo at Work. A friend once called on Charles Rondo and found him sitting at his desk placidly smiling, while with great precision and deliberation he inscribed his thoughts on a sheet of foolscap in a large schoolboy text. He might have been writing a love letter, lie seemed so happy. He was In reality scari fying a "criticaster" iu language that made his friend's hair stand on end.— London Telegraph. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought of WASHINGTON LETTER [Special Correspondence.] Now that tho list of ollicers and men of tho navy who are to receive the West Indian campaign medals and bars has boon completed the naval board on awards is busy with the "meritorious service" medals, which are intended to go to those officers who rendered particularly telling services In the West Indian naval campaign. Four persons have for some time been decided upon for the meritorious serv ice medals. These are Captain Rich mond Pearson Hobson for his well known feat with the Merrlinnc, Lieu tenants Ward and Puck for their peril ous secret mission into Spain, and Lieutenant Victor Blue for his famous work in connection with the location of the Spanish fleet in Santiago har bor. It is understood that meritorious service medals also are intended for the American officers and men who rendered exceptional service in the res cue of the drowning officers and men of the defeated Spanish fleet at San tiago. More Liberal to Travelers. According to a ruling made by Sec retary Shaw, residents of the United States returning from abroad may bring with them as personal baggage up to the limit of SIOO in value any article they choose without payment of duty. This is a more liberal con struction of tho law than has hereto fore been made. Mr. Shaw insists only that the examination of such baggage at *lllO port of New York and other places shall be .honest and thorough, with the least possible annoyance to the passengers. The tariff law describes exemption of SIOO as including "wearing apparel, ar ticles of personal adornment, toilet ar ticles and similar personal effects." Secretary Shaw in his new ruling says that the SIOO worth need not be strict ly confined to wearing apparel, articles of personal adornment, toilet articles and similar effects, but may include any article intended for the personal use of the passenger. No More "Laborers" as ClerkH. By the time the politicians return to Washington for the next meeting of congress they will find that one of the last remaining avenues by which clerks have been slipped into the government service without regard to the civil service examination has been block aded. The heads of the various depart ments are getting out regulations gov erning the appointment to positions of mere unskilled laborers and prohibit ing such appointees from performing clerical work. One of the favorite dodges that have been worked for years past to avoid the civil service law has been to get men appointed as laborers, this posi tion not being classifled, and then have them do the work of clerks, steadily promoting them in salary. A Monro 11 MM the Job. One of the most earnestly sought messenger positions is that of the Brit ish embassy, and it is now for the first time in the history of the British lega tion In America occupied by a negro. Always In the past the berth has been given to some retired English soldier who has during the best part of his life served the crown on battlefields. This recommendation has in the past been deemed necessary on account of the value of the messages transmitted. All state papers, secret reports and pri vate documents are given to the mes senger. lie is held responsible for the safe delivery of these messages to an English vessel either at New York or some Canadian port. War Record* to lie PubllNlted. The war department has arranged for the publication of tho war records of the conflict between this country and Spain. The set of works, which will be compiled from the documents in possession of the war department, will embrace the military operations in the Philippines since the close of the war with Spain and in China dur ing tho relief expedition to Peking. An officer has been selected for this work, and orders have been sent to Manila requiring that all records in the possession of the authorities there mil be forwarded to Washington. The Contract Labor Law. Instructions for the strict enforce ment of the alien contract labor law have been given by Commissioner Gen eral Sargent to the immigration com missioners at all the ports of entry where immigrants land. From this time on few immigrants who come to this country under a specified or im plied contract will remain, as the in spectors are now keeping a vigilant outlook for those who violate the law, and if sufficient evidence can be se cured they will be sent back. Knihva)- Cnanaltlc*. The interstate commerce commission has issued a bulletin showing colli sions and derailments of trains and casualties to persons for the three months ending March 31, 1902. The number of persons killed in train acci dents was 212 and of injured 2,111. Accidents of other kinds, including those sustained by employees while at work and by passengers in getting on or off cars, bring the total number up to 783 killed and 9,958 injured. CARL SCHO FIELD. A llititoric Church. The French Protestant church in Charleston, S. C., is the only Huguenot church in the United States. It was founded in 1081 and has preserved its organization without a break ever since. It was the first Ilugucnot church established in America, and it is singular indeed that it should out last all those which followed it, but were gradually merged into other or ganizations. Its founders were those | who were driven from France by the I revocation of the edict of Nantes, and | their descendants are prominent among tho leading families of the I north ami south today. THE PUBLIC SCHOOL. flow It Mliflit Do Mu<lo mi Important Social Factor. The American public school Is the soul center of every community, the bulwark of the nation. The public use and the public ownership* of the public school Is the best example of pure democracy even In this country. The public schools were bullded bet ter than we knew, welded for a larger purpose than that to which we are putting them. We are neglecting our op portunities. The public school should be a social as well as an educational center. Schoolhouses and churches, too, for that matter, should be open at all times instead of only a few hours a week for the soola 1 reception of all the people who desire to take advantage of such opportunities. The public school could do no high er service to the community in which it is located than by making itself a social center, a social settlement, such as we have in the large cities. This is being done in New York, Chicago and other cities. The common people are the only people in this country. Don't let us neglect them. It Is the business of the public school to enlighten the par ents as well as their children. The public schools should be made civic centers, places where the fathers and mothers may congregate. People are as good as they know. It is the busi ness of the common school to teach them what they should know. I know no better place to counteract public abuses than in the public school. It is not in the interest of our finer element that I plead. It is for the whole peo ple. Some of our otherwise compara tively well informed native born citi zens have little or no idea of the essen tial principles of a democratic form of government. The making of our public schools a social center would not increase the school tax levy. It could be done al most without expense. The public school has 011 its hands the possibility of making an ethical center, regardless of theological differences. The public school is the soul of the great religion of democratic relationship.—Gruhain Taylor in Michigan Moderator. Tho \<>ivfonii(]laii(l l)o. Much as we may regret it, the fact is that the Newfoundland dog, the em bodiment of courage, intelligence and kindness, the highest type of canine excellence, the animal that formed the subject of Landseer's famous painting, "The Child's Best Friend," is today al most extinct. In the United States the animals have vanished completely, and had it not been for Mr. Edwin Nichols of South Kensington they would have died out in England as well. Mr. Nich ols Is now, we believe, the solo breeder of Newfoundlands in the world. Even in the land of its origin there are very few fine specimens of the Newfound land dog now to be found. The dogs most common and numoroup in New foundland are a wretched mongrel race, cowardly, thievish and given to sheep killing. Starvation and neglect have killed out tho old Newfoundland breed, which thrives better anywhere except 011 this island, the place of its origin.—London Times. Japnn'M Democratic Emperor. There is no barbaric splendor about the court of Japan, nor does the em peror insist 011 fantastic forms of hom age. lie is just a plain individual. His guests he receives standing, and lie en ters freely into conversation with all. There is scarcely a subject that does not interest him or one 011 which lie is not well informed. A delightful host, it is his custom to surround himself with clever men, men who are the shining lights of tlieir professions. En gineers, artists, musicians, writers, soldiers, scientists—every class of per son who has won distinction is wel come at the royal table, for it is one of the characteristics of his majesty that in the distributions of his favors he is thoroughly impartial.—lndianap olis News. Drytlcn'M New Honsc. The house of John Dryden 111 Gerard street, London, has been recently de molished. A "Jerry built monstrosity" has been erected in its place, and the memorial tablet with the inscription, "John Dryden, ppet, lived here; B. 1031, D. 1700," is now attached to tho new structure. This is not the only instance of a house bearing a tablet stating that a certain great man "lived here" when he never did live there, as the fraudulent tablets to llogarth in Leicester square, to Turner in Queen Anne street, Marylobone, and to Byron in Holies street testify. OH Calendar Coin. While excavating at some old cot tages at High Wycombe, Bucks, Eng land, recently a workman discovered a calendar coin dated 1797. It Is of copper and about the size of a four shil ling piece. On one side are clearly en graved the dates of the Sundays of the whole year, with special reference to Septungesimn, Advent, Lent, Easter, Holy Thursday, Whitsunday and Trin ity Sunday. 011 the other side there the everyday calendar for the year. The Eir on Earl Hall. As seen from certain angles the dome 011 Earl hall, the new Columbia uni versity building, resembles the dome on the library given by Seth Low to the university, which Is near by. A man observing the likeness remarked, "Why, the librae has dropped an egg, hasn't it?"— New York Press. Preteniio. You hove nil laughed at children for "pretending" In piny. Grown people do It In dead earnest and will fight for months to back up a silly pretense, a pretense that they know is unreason able, foolish and unfair. Atchison Globe. I HUMOR OF THE HOUR The Kind He Wanted. "I want to look at some dining room tables," said the customer. "Yes, sir," said the clerk. "We have some very fine ones. Now, here is an unusually pretty table, very cheap too." "Can you play pingpong on It?" "Well, why, to tell you the truth, sir, this table Is not suitable for pingpong." 1 "I didn't ask you whether It was suit able or not. I asked you whether or | not you could play pingpong on it." | "Well, 110, sir; you can't." | "No way to stick in an extra board j or to put patent fixings to the round ! corners or anything like that?" "No, sir; it would be impossible to arrange this particular table so that the game of pingpong could be played on it, but"— "That's all right. I'll take this table. Send It right up. You see, 1 wanted to make sure."—Chicago Tribune. Why She I)*toN(el It. "Again," complains the devoted wife, "I am told that you have been fiirting with that odious Miss Mashem 011 the piazza." "Bah!" retorts the gay husband, thinking to riducule the suspicions of his wife. "Bah!" 110 repeats. "It isn't so laid," asserts the wife, "for a man to be guilty, but what I de test is when he nets so sheepish about it."—Baltimore American. UnneceHNnrily Cruel. "And did you have jour maid Incar cerated for stealing your jewels?" asked Mrs. Oldcastle. "Oh. my, 110! Josiah was reading to me the other niglit about the way a man's body was incarcerated at one of them crematory places because lie made tbem promise to do It before he died, but I'd never think of treating a person that way for just stealing."— Cliicugo Record-Herald. Tli on ah (ful of tlio Children. "I suppose," said Mr. Olds, "if I were to start smoking again it would set the children a bad example." "It would, Indeed," replied his wife. "It's thoughtful and unselfish of you to consider that." "Yes; so I've decided to send the chil dren right off to boarding school, where they won't see me." Philadelphia Press. A Fashion Note.

Ilnas Classified. "And to what insect family," said Phunny Phool, the student, "would you assign the licks that infest clocks, professor?" "Young man," sternly replied the veteran, "011 page 24, third paragraph, under 'ldiotic and Otherwise,' you will find clock ticks mentioned as a branch of the tempus fugit."—Baltimore News. Not to Be DlniTed. "I will have to have three more days out a week and receive my company in the parlor," said the cook lady firmly. "Bridget," replied the mistress of the house, "I warn you not to push me too far. You seem to forget that I be long to the Housewives' union No. 17!" —Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. Deforce of Love.
