1t is the intention Of the w. G. T. L. to
petition the authorities of the Columbian
Exposition to exclude liquor as a beverage
or as an exhibition from the fair. A Chica-
go paper noting this, comments by saying
''this is a formidable programme and
offers its sympathy. 1t attempts to prove
Its sincerity by trying to show that the
undertaking cannot be carried out and
ought not to be. 1t grows painfully po-
lite when it observes that to exclude wines
from the restaurants would be to %s'insult
the strangers from the four quarters of the
globe" 1t also makes some statements re-
garding the effect of wines on the system
which are refuted in any scientific work
OF the day on the nature of alcohol. 1t is
a poor argument which cannot be gathered
from facts. -Chicago Nems.

Thou must be true thyself,
Ifthou the truth wouldst teach;
Thy soul must overflow, If thou
Another soul wouldst reach;
1t needs the overflow of heart
To give the lips true speech.
Think truly, and thy thoughts
Shall the worlds famine feed;
Speak truly, and each word of timo
Shall be II fruitful seed;
Live truly, and thy life shall be
4 great and noble deed.

An Account of the ShOemak e~rsyiIIe
Disaster.

DEAR EDIroR:-Perhaps every one of
your readers has read or heard of the
terrible accident that happened at Shoe
makcrsville last Friday evening. But, as
all Of the accounts of Philadelphia papers
described the situation at Reading, and as
very little is said Of the mining region, |
thought | would describe the situation and
feeling of PottsviIle and vicinity.
Hardly had the last rays of daylight dis
appeared, and the shades of evening began
to gather over the quiet >n
of Pottsville, when there was bed
over tbs wires such astonishing nsW bs
has never had it's parallel in the history of
the state-surely not within the precincts
of this county. The telegram stated that
No. B Express had jumped the track near
Shoemakersville. and that several passen-
gers had been killed and injured.
The news spread rapidly, and o a
large crowd of people had gathered at the
Reading depot to learn particulars of the
accident, but as it is the custom Of nearly
all railroads to detain new of an accident

JUST RECEIVED AND NOW BEING OPENED
GOOD ADVICE BY 4 WOMAN.

As general rule women are good
advisers. They are apt to be sound
and practical in their views, when they
turn their attention to the considera-
ton of the serious side of life, and
many man would be better off by
following the counsel of a good and
sensible woman. In a recent issue of
the Pr0gyess,Oe Farmer, correspond
ent who signs the name "Mrs. H. B.
A" writes as follows:
But there is a better day for the
farmers if they will only persevere in
the way now open to them. Stick to
the Alliance with all the heart,
soul and cash stand firmly by it's
principles, be true, full of faith in the
order. Attend every meeting and
endeavor to make every succeeding
one more interesting than the last.
There is much to be done. Let every
man put his shoulder to the wheel and
press forward with determination to
do his whole duty, and the sunlight
of prosperity will beam upon us, and
where debt and want now Cypress, in
dependence and plenty will reign.

ABOUT STOPPING NEWSPAPERS.

There is big merchant in one of
our neighboring little towns who has
been receiving the Banner over a year.
He received it regularly. If it was
ever refused we did not know it. Last
week we sent the bill for subscription.
The bill and the paper were returned.
1t seems that as little as he could have
done would have been to pay up
and then ordered itstopped. We wish
him to understand he owes us for that
subscrlption.-ZVbo,o Banner.
Did that "big merchant" ever sub
scribe for the Banner, Brother King ?
If SO, then he ought to pay for it, but
II the paper was sent to him without
his instructions SO to do, we hold that
he does not owe for it, although he
may have taken it regularly from the
postofflce and read it for a whole year.
But we take it that either the editor or
some representative of the paper was
authorized to send it to the merchant
aforesaid, or he would not have had
the pleasure of perusing the Bannc,
at all. In that event, then he should
pay for it or give some reasonable ex-
cuse for not doing SO.
No honest man should throw a news.
paper back into the postoffice simply
because he is asked to pay an account
that is due. If he does not want it
certainly he has perfect right to stop
taking it, but the proper and only
manly way to do it is to notify the
publisher himself. Do not leave the
