HAIR REVIEWER

was the first preparation perfectly adapted to
cure diseases OF the scalp, and the first sue
cesSful restorer u faded gray hair to its
natural color, growth, and youthful beauty.
1t has had many imitatOrs, but none have SO
fully met all the requirements nccdiul for
the proper treatment of the hair and scalp.
HALLS II AR HENEwER has stctliiy grown
i'll favor, and spread its fame and usefulness
10 every quarter of the globe. Its unparal-
leled success can be attributed To hut one
cause: the enttrc Jalftnlent o. ttO promises.
The proprietOrs have often been surprised
at the receipt of orders from remote couu-
tries. where they had never made an effort for
its introduction.
The use for 4 short time of HALLS HAIR
RENEwER wonderfully improves the per-
sonal appearance. 1t clcanscs the scalp from
all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and
dryness, and thus prevents badness. 1t
stimulates the weakened glands. and enables
them TO push forward u new and vigorous
growth. The effects of this article are not
transient, like those of alcoholic prepara-
tions, but remain long time, which makes
its use a matter of economy.

Lehighton's Hoodlums.

Lehighton's Hoodlums.
For sometime we have had gang of
hoodlums around, who are apparent
ly banded together for the sole purpose
of insulting and maltreating any
strangers who may put in an appearance
here. On Saturday evening last large
delegation of Chapman Post, G. A.
h, Of Mapch Chunk, headed by band,
visited this place for the purpose of
mastering the Post just organized here.
During the evening the band visited the
hotels and saloons, treating the people
to some of their choicest selections of
music. Sometime about IL o'clock D.
M, young drummer belonging to the
band, was walking along the street
when he was met by some rowdy,
who struck him a terrible blow in the
face, this, too, without the least prova-
cation, This led to a more general
melee, and for time our principal
street was a perfect bedlam. This con-
dition Of things must be stopped, or
strangers viii be deferred, through ter
ror, from visiting our borough, and
business of all kinds will suffer. We
SHOULD have police patrol every night
from 7 O'Clock till midnight, composed
of three or four good men, who will
not allow breaches of the peace-either
byfighting or disturbing peaceable citi-
Gems by unearthly shputs and singing,

our most-popular thoroughfaras, 1t is
about time our town council were made
aware that the taxes paid by the people
are not simply to be used in ke1ping the
streets in repair, but that the taxpayer,
in return for bis money, is entitled to
protection to person and property, and
that the persons elected 9s members of
the council are simply the servants--not
the masters-of the people who demand
this protection at their hands. w warn
you, gentlemen, that unless this hood
lum business is stopped, our people will
take the liberty hereafter of placing men
in the council who will use all lawful
endavors to stop this midnight brawling,
and restore peace and quietness to our
borough,
Since the above was put in type, some.
six or eight persons accused of partici-
patton. in the assault and disturbance
have been arrested and put under bonds.
We TRUST the right parties may be found
and justice dealt out to them with no

A Grand suooesa.

A Grand Success.
The grand musical and literary enter
tainment under the management Of
Miss Emma L, A. Kistler, In the Pres
byterian church, this borough, on last
Tuesday evening was voted q gruAd
success, and reflects great credit on the
management, Long before the time
had arrived fol the opening Of the exer-
cises the large room was completely
crowded, leaving only standing space
for late comers.
AT about 8 0 clock Rev. Kuder opened
the exercises by leading in prayer; after
which Prof, T, A. Snyder made few
appropriate Introductory remarks; the
programme, as published in last weeks
Advocate, was delightfully."- and very
crcditably carried out. Misses Kate B.
Adams and Emma Kistler won loud
plaudits by the rendition of choice Sc
lections. It would occupy too much
space too separately enumerate the per-
formers, suffice 1t to sag that the vocal
solos by Mrs. A. j. Durling, Mrs. 4. A.
Snyder and Miss Name Miller, of Phlla-
delpRia, and the duets by Misses Emma
and Lizzie Ash and Rev. o. II. Cook
and wife were loudly applauded. THO
whistling of Home Sweet Home" and
"Mockiug Bird" by Harry Esser was
simply wonderful and Mr.. Esser received
perfect shower of applause.

County Politics

Editor CARBON ADVOCATES:
Dear Sir:-In looking over the DO
litipal records of this county for the past
several years it looks to me as if the
Democracy must use very judicious
Judgment in the nomination of men for
the VARIOUS county Offices at the coming
election, or, as the saying goes, "they
will be left out in the cold"
While in the past the county has been
Democratic by q majority ranging from
one hundred on up. it must be borne in
mind that the Republicans, after very
hard and spirited contest, at the late
election, have even made that majority
doubtful; and unless the men are so
PICKED as to represent fairly and honest
ly the several sections a hard fight will be
the result. The fact that Democrats
cried so loudly for change in National
affairs at the late election has caused a
feeling to arise, in the minds of many,
that probably change in affairs nearer
home would not come amiss. This we
do not think necessary if the RIGHT
MEN are put in nomination.
In conversation with prominent poll
ticians Of the county, it seems that all
agreed that the Sheriff candidacy will
occasion the most trouble Some are of
the opinion that the nomination belongs
to the "upper-end," while others con-
clude that the nomination should 90 to
the best and strongest man, no matter
what ''end' or section he represents.
We notice that, already, quite a num-
Der of individuals are looking up their
chances, and.if the general outlook is
not deceiving we think that Dir. Hiram
P, Levap, the popular constable of
FRANKLIN, will come out ahead in the
race, He is spoken Of very favorably
by leading Democrats and, also, by many
Republicans; he is very popular with
cid and young voters throughout the
county, and ii nominated be would pn-
doubtedly be elected,
For the Prothonotaryship there are
also number OF individuals in different
sections Of the county, who are anxious
ly looking up their pros. ects; and we
have no doubt but that a hard fight in
the Democratic ranks viii be the out
come of all of it, But we trust, re-
eardless who may secure the nomina-
tions, that the Democracy will, on the
day OF election, stand, as it stood sever
al years ago, strong and united, voting
a full Democratic ticket, which is the
only sure way of success and the at
tainment of party rights. The Demo-
cratic voters in the lower-end have no
need to be cautioned as 10 how to cast
their ballots: to do as they have done in
the past is all that Is necessary, Bnt
BE Democrats in the upper-end. watch
yourselves. At the late election You did
not do you duty, and it is TO be hoped
that you will follow the true instincts of
American Democracy at the coming
election and redeem Yourselves to your
party. A word TO the wise is sufficient.

In Aid of the Miners.

In Aid Of the Miners,
There is a strong movement now on
foot among the miners of Luzerne TO
organize beneficial associations among
themselves. 1t has been tried before,
but allowed to fall through. The
necessity for such organizations are
painfully evident on every hand A
miner never thinks of accident or death,
consequently he lays nothing by for q
rainy day. Suddenly he is stricken down
by a premature explosion or fall of rock.
As q result he leaves big family and
in the most destitute circumstance. But
worse than that, there is not dollar in
the house to help bury him. To remedy
this and prevent suffering it is proposed
to organize these beneficial associations.
On Saturday the miners and laborers of
the Alden Coal Company to organized
benefit association. Each employe
bo;oming party of the contract author
zies the Alden Coal Company so collect
the sum of one dollar from his monthly
wages for each and every fatality that
may occur in and about the mines dur.
ing the continuance Of the membership.
The accident to member Of the associu-
ton must prove fatal within three
months from the date of occurrence to
entitle relatives to the benefit.

The Jersey Central Lease.

A Reading Railaoad official said on
the 10Th inst, that it was not probable
that the proceedings instituted by the
Jersey Central Company to annul the
lease to the Reading would be pushed.
"The bill was fled, " said he, because
some Of the hondholders of the jersey
Central urgad it upon the management
of that company, How that it has been
done nothing more remains but to 2wait
the answer of the Reading, which will
be given on August 8. The taking of
testimony, if the matter was pushed,
would occupy at least year, hut it Is
not likely that anything further viii be
done. The majority of the Jersey
Central people do not want the lease
broken.n
