This is simply the fault of the parents for
not taking an interest in the schools by
having their children attend regularity.

The Elmira Telegram, Of last Sunday
contains an excellent article entitled "More
about Mashers," which we would recon-
mend to parents in particular, and young
ladies who cherish some selfrespect and be-
lieve that their sanctity is above reproach.
The article is pungent and goes to the core
Of the great modern evil. This kind Of de-
praving business s-mashing- INDUCED in
too much Of late. 1t is one of the evils, or
chief causes that produces the libertines Of
oday and places the standard of morality
on leyel of that which swoyed in Bachina-
lisn times. Some time ago in an argument
the assertion was made that the nearer we
got to perfection in intelligence aud reached
the apex of human knowledge and splendor
the more depraved and immoral, rs peo'
pie, we became. This assertion bears dem
onstrstion and can be verified with little
trouble. or course, the evils and wicked
acts to prove this, are perpetruted mostly
under the cover and in high society and, al
a consequence, the open world does moi
catch them as it does those of the lower
grade of society. Flirting and mashing are
sworn twins, and whoever indulges in them
violates the moral law of GDd, and is plGcec
on leyel with those who have fallen by
the wayside aud have become the objects
through their transgressons Of correct prin
'cinles and virtues, of scorn and contempt
In such cases the arguments Of fcircumstanc,
and the children of circumstnnce-ha
nothing to do, for there is a universal Law
laid down, which if followed, will keep al
in bounds. ALIEN.

THE Tailor Makes the Man. ~

Since the tailor makes the man, IL must
70 evident to the most easy going mind
that the best tailor makes the best man.
This, Of course, must be taken with limit
ations. However, it is a fact admitted by
all, that as man must have clothing he
might as well have it to e t him neatly aud
made In becoming style as to have it dis.
guse him against all recognition by his
friends, as it too frequently does. For the
purpose then Of having their patrons praise
them because Of their becoming appearance
and well-made garments, Clauss 4 Bro, the
popular merchant tailors, of Lehighton,
make point to give their customers per-
iect hts and garments well and ar.istically
made. Artist in clothing themselves, they
are satisfied only when their patrons are
satisfied, and their purpose is to come as
near perfection as can be. The stock of fall
aud winter goods is very large, larger than
most merchant tailoring establishments
carry, and much larger than can be found
in any OF the tailoring stores, and being
gentlemen OF taste the style OF their goods is
prime consideration with them. In ad-
dltlon to their immense stock of merchant
tailoring goods they have full line of boots,
shoes, hats, caps, aud gentlemen's furnish
ing goods, to which they invite the atten
ton Of their patrons aud the public. Prices
fully as low as the same articles can be got
anywhere in the State.

Fooling with a Loaded Revolver.

Shortly before noon, Wednesday, two
men, named Ryan and Buckley, employed
by Contractor McCauu in the Lehigh Uni
verslty grounds and boarding IN the neigh
borhood Of Fifth aud Locust streets, Beth
lehem, were playing with loaded revolver,
when it was accidentally discharged. The
ball entered the upper part of the abdomen
of Ryan, passing through the body and
lodging under the skin of the back The
wounded man was sent to St. Lukes Hos.
ptal. Ryan is from Hartford, Con necticut
and is only 10 years of oge. He does moi
blame Buckley. 1t is doubtful whether
Ryan will recover.

Merged.

Merged.
The following from the Nduch Chunk
Democrat, OF last Saturday, explains itself:
"During the week the Carbon County Dem
ocrat was merged with the Mauch Chunk
Democrat, and this weeks issue will termin
ate the publication of the former Journal
This merger is fitting contamination, fol-
lowing as it does so closely after the success
OF united and harmonious Democracy Of
Carbon county in the last campaign. The
Democracy of the county were never in a
better condition for future contests, and this
consolidation OF the two papers is notice 10
the Republican party that all seeming di-
visions are healed and that they will be met
by solid aud united front.
"The subscription books Of the Carbon
County Democrat hsye been placed in our
hands, aud we will send the Maueh Chunk
Democrat to the present paid up subscribers
Of the former as well as to those who are
not. As it is our rule to require all sub
scriptions in advance we will as soon as prac-
ticabe forward bills to all subscribers, and
if not paid in a reasonable length Of time,
we will consider it satisfactory evidence that
the paper is no longer wanted.
"Mr. E. II. Rauch becomes an attache Of
the Mauch Chunk Democrat and will for the
present be associated with the editor and
publisher of the same, and is authorized TO
make collections, solicit subscriptions, ad-
vertising and job work for us.
"The Mauch Chunk Democrat does not in
this merger assume any claims held by par
ties against the Carbon County Democrat"

About 1890 O'Clock on Thursday night, a
Ere was discovered in the store room tccu-
pied by Mr.. David Treharn. Tho alarm
was promptly given by the bank wotchman
in an adjoining roem. The fire department
was tardy in getting 10 work, and by the
time they did the FIRE had gained such head
way that the destruction ofthe building was
inevitable. For some unaccountablo rea-
son, fully three quarters of on hour expired
before the steamer could be brought into
service. The FIRE originated from the stove
which sat very close to some filled sheiVes'
The watchman Of the bank who was in the
adjoining room, separated from the store by
a board partition says that some time alter
procession had started for East Mnuch
Chunk, be went in the'bank room and laid
down on a lounge, After a little tine he
heard cracking noise, and the smoke be-
gan coming through the cracks in the par
tition. He ran out front, looked through
the keyhole Of the store door and saw that
everything was on FIRE surrounding the
stoYe when he gave the alarm. The testi-
mony Of a large number Of persons who
we're standing on the corners was that there
was no appearance Of FIRE in the loft or on
the roof, but all was confined 10 the store
room below until the doors and windows
were broken open, when the flames soon
broke through the roof. The writer, who
was in the street opposite the American Ho'
tel when the alarm was given, ran 10 the
building and saw that the FIRE was in the
rear of the first floor, ho then went to En-
gessers stable and sent a messenger on
horseback 10 the reservoir to put the water
from the creek IN it. After this was done
he returned to the building and then for the
first the flames began bursting through the
roof. The charge made by at least one in
dividual that the roof was set on fire by q
ball from a roman candle is entirely with
out foundation ,as no fireworks had been Ox
ploded in that locality for half aR hour pre-
vious, besides the statements OF the bank
watchman and others clearly show that the
fire originated from the stove. The bonfire
that had been started in the early part Of the
night at the side of the building was moth
ing but heap of smouldering ashes, which
explodes the assertion of others that thi!
, was the cause Of the conaagration. The
money, books ana most OF the papers in thu
bank room were saved. AS the lire was a
first confined to the store room, it was i'm
possible to save any OF the store goods on &C
, count of the density of the smoke. Mr.. Ire
harm gives no estimate OF his loss, but say
: his stock was insured Tor $5,o0O.-Maucf

The Anthracite Coal Trade.

Philadelphia Jsiqer, 9th ult.: We have
no change to note in the condition OF the
coal trade, in the local supply Of coal, or in
the prices realized. The anthracite trade
continues ia much the same active condi-
ton as for some time past, and any very
material change, il is believed, will depend
mainly on whatever alterations may occur
in the iron manufacture. The Miners
Journal,speaking of the trade Of the Schuyl.
kill region, says that it continues active in
all sizes ofanthracite coal except broken and
pea. The stove sizes are in greatest demand
and most difficult to get. The reported
dpllness in the iron trade has no effect upon
the demand for the furnace sizes but this is
not surprising when,it is known that there
has been no shutting down Of anthracite
furnaces. The Eastern end Southern trade,
just now is disturbed by the scarcity Of YES
sells to deliver the coal, which is again ac-
eumulating at the tde.watcr shipping
points in inconyenient quantity. With
these exceptions the trade is progressing
smosthly enough, and is likely to so con
tinue until the end of the year, exhibiting
at the close Of the season a total product Of
about half million tons 10 excess Of that
of last year, which was in round numbers
2s,5O0,000 tons. The weather SO far has not
greatly interfered with the mining, or, rath
er, with the preparation Of coal, but as the
season progresses the difficulties increase
and 1t becomes necessary to abridge the
working hours. From this cause it is prob
able that three quarters time will be srder-
ed for next month, after which, until the
opening of spring, only such portion Of the
co lieries will bs kept working as are neces-
sary TO supply the regular winter trade,
which is mainly in the furnace and manu-
featuring sizes. Writing of the trade in
New York, the Engineering and lMnino
Journal says that it still remains in an sx-
pectant condition SO far as the coming cold
weather is concerned. There is very little
new business, and no material change is no.
ported from any of the points East OF
West.
The total tonnage of anthracite coal from
oil the regions for the week ending Nov. 1s
as reported by the several carrying compan.
les, amounted to 69s,l4S tons, against Ge9,
7sO tons in the corresponding week las
year, an increase of 2s,S6s tons. The tota
amount oi anthracite mined for the year il
2s,eCo,Sl3 tons, against 24,6ss,949 tons fol
the same period last year, increase of Oil
854 tons.

MY DEAR FRIEND: Replying TO your letter
would say, have been acquainted with
my highly valued friend, the Rev. S. D.
Hopkins about eighteen months, and very
intimately acquainted for about six months
past. For a little more than five months
he was an inmate of my house, and we eu-
joyed constan. intercourse with each other.
When be came in April last he was almost
perfect wreck in point Of health. l
thought he had come TO us but to die. Soon
afterwards he began the use OF II. II. War.
ner & Co.'S remedies, namely the Safe Kid
ney and Liver Cure, Safe Nervne and SAFE
Pills. From almost the time he began their
use his improvement was very marked and
wonderful, and VIXEN he left us, after hav-
ing taken some two dozen bottles, he was
like a new man. The change was the most
remarkable | ever witnessed.

In view, therefore, of these facts and with
hope that all who read this may take
timely warning, make this open state
ment freely and for the good Of my fellow
men. Sincerely,
