The "yalley" Won't Reduce.

The New York Engineering and Mn
ing JournaI of Saturday says: The firm
of Coke Bros. & Co. has received its
freight bills from the Lehigh Valley Rail
road Company for the week beginning
April Goth, or the date on which the In
terstate Commerce Commission ordered
a reduction. In an interview with Mr..
f. b. Ely, general sales agent of Coke
Bros. & Co., we learned that his firm
has officially notified the Commission
that, so far as it knows, the Lehigh Com
pany has failed to comply with the order.
This will throw the action on the Inter-
state Commerce Commission. In sum-
ming the matter up Mr.. Ely very logi-
cally remarked: "If the Commission
cannot compel obedience to its mandate
the firm of Coke Bros. & Co. certainly
cannot" The end of this case is evil
IDENTITY far off. The trade has already
outgrown the custom of specuating
upon the effect that reduction in freight
rates would have on prices.

From our exchanges we learn that
the gentle springtime has arrived in our
neighboring counties and towns, and their
editors are singing praises of the beaut-
full month of May, with its balmy days
and delightful nights. While reveling
in their selfish pleasure they might oc-
casionally give a thought to those who
are yet enveloped in overcoats and who
are battling against the angry March
winds that whistle around these noun
tains. The falling snow and wintry
mien of this week served as reminder
that spring is a month or so behind
schedule time, as far as this section is
concerned, but let no one think of envy
ing our more common neighbors who
have with them the dawn of summer.
Those who would rise in the world must
suffer many little inconvenience, and as
the people of Freeland have attained
the highest eei alton in Pennsylvania
they must endure the discomforts of
high living. Though the hills are as
bare as last November and vegetation is
cutting poor figure around here, let all
glory in their greatness of being way up
in the world.

About II o'clock Sunday morning the
wife of Patrick Dougherty, residing at
Washington and Centre Streets, died
from pneumonia. She had been sick
only short while, but the serious nature
of the disease caused her to sink rapidly
Mrs. Dougherty was well-known through
out this region and her numerous friends
and acquaintances attended the funeral
yesterday morning. Requiem mass was
held at st. AIMS Church. A husband
and eight children remain to mourn her
loss. Her son William, who is employed
in the West, could not arrive to attend
the funeral

"Big Joe's" Company on the Road.

The starring tour of the Jeanesville
survivors, who have started out as freaks,
is not meeting with the success expected
The thousands whom they thought would
flock to gaze upon their swarthy persons
have not yet appeared, and the stream
of golden shekels they had anticipated
will hardly be realized. Unless the men
draw larger crowds throughout the
country than they have in Schuylkill
County the prospectsfof getting stranded
are very good. A few months "on the
road' may convice ''Big Joe" and his
fellow countrymen that they are nothing
more than common Huns and in order
to live will have to get down and hustle
like they did before the disaster. Time
has dmmed the brilliancy of their
thrilling adventure, and the sensational
public look for something of more re-
cent date.

At Harrisburg last week the House
passed finally the Compulsory Education
bill. The bill requires that all children
between the ages of s and ~ years must
attend school at least sixteen weeks in
year, unless the child resides more than
two miles from the nearest school.
Failure TO do so is punishable by fine.
Assessors of each district must furnish
the County Commissioner with list of
children of school age. This list must
be placed in the hands of the teachers of
each district, whose duty it is to report
to the Secretary of the School Board the
names of the children who do not attend
Teachers of private schools are required
to cooperate with the authorities in en-
forcing the law, by furnishing the au-
thorities with a list of pupils under their
charpe

The new I'VE, Us & Co.." now in its
second week at the Fifth Avenue
Theatre, is genuine, original out-burst
of humor. 1t is one of those new things
that now and then pop up in the amuse-
ment line and throws everybody into
real, generous, hearty laughter, There
is fun in it from beginning to end, and
the fun is mainly new. The audience is
constantly running up against an anus
ing surprise. The entire performance is
a perfect creation in its way-perfect
for the purpose for which it was design
ed. 1t is fortuitous, happy, gladstone
and satisfying all the way through.
thoroughly original and highly
amusing character is Dr. Mul0 Medicus,
played by G. c. Hawkins. 1t is one of
the best pieces of character acting seen
on the stage for long time. DR.. Medicus
is the real Simon Pure native in looks,
actions and speech. Whoever sketched
that character was an artist so is the
man who plays it. Gus Burno makes a
ludicrous dude of a type that has not
been seen on the stage, and the other
members of the cast are up to all reason
able requirements.
The stage effects are all good; many
of them quite surprising. The scene in
the second act is unusually beautiful.
All through the performance there are
introduced striking mechanical novelties,
and the effect of what is said and done
by the players is most delightfully."-
heightened by appropriate stage access
cries. When one sees the new "We,
Us & Co." he is not surprised that it is a
great hit There is enough in it for two
good entertainments of this order, and
it richly deserves the success it has

The folly of appointing commissions
to remedy miners wrongs is well por-
trayed by an illustration in the Harris
burg Telegram of last Sunday. 1t repre-
sents the PROSTATE form of miner under
an operators iron heel, while four fellow
workmen, who were appointed commits
sioners to help him, are lured by promo
tions and gold to club him and add more
to his heavy burden. 1t fits the anthra-
cite mine commission exactly.

LARGEST CLOCK IN THE WORLD.

The English House of Parliament, in
London, has the largest clock in the
world. The dials, four in number, are
thirty-two feet in diameter, and the
minute hand moves nearly fourteen
inches in sixty seconds. It takes two
hours to wind up this clock, and when
once wound it goes for eight and half
days, The pendulum is fifteen fet long;
the wheels are of cast iron. The hour
bell is eight feet in diameter and weighs
nearly fifteen tons, the hammer alone
weighing over $50 pounds. This clock
strikes the quarter hour, and at every
alarm the shorthand reporters of the
Parliament buildings change off, a
fresh man taking notes, while the other
retires to write out what he has heard
in the quarterho just passed.-DetrOit

A LITTLE GIRLS COMPLIMENT.

The accuracy with which children
Judge character is well Illustrated in the
following anecdOte:-
One wet, foggy, muddy day, a little
girl was standing on n side OF the
street, in London, waiting for an OPP
pOrtunity to cross over Those who
have seen London streets OnSuch a day,
with their wet and mud, and watched
the rush of cabs, hansOms, Omnibuses,
and carriages, will not wonder that a
little girl should be afraid to try to
make her way through such a Babel
as that. So she walked up and down,
and looked in the faces of those who
passed by. Some looked careless, some
harsh, some we're in haste; and b did
not find the one she sought until at
length and aged man, rather tall and
spare, and of grave yet kindly aspect,
came walking down the street. Look
ing is his face, she seemed to see in
him the one for whom she had been
waiting, and she went up to him and
whispered timidly, please, sir, will
you help me over2"
The old man saw the little girl safely
across the street; and when he after
wards told the story he said: THAT
little girls trust is one of the greatest
compliments l ever had in my life"
That man was the great and good
Lord Shaftesbury. He received hOnOrs
at the hands of a mighty nation; he
was complimented with the freedom of
the greatest city on the globe; he re-
Oeived the hOnors conferred by royalty;
but the greatest compliment he ever
had in his life was when that little
unknown girl singled him out in the
jostling crowd of a London street, and
dared to trust him, stranger though he
was, to protect and assist he.

THE LARGEST LOCOMOTIVE
EVER BUILT

A huge locomotive, the largest ever
built in America and probably the
heaviest ever built even in the world,
is now at the Baldwin Locomotive
Works in Philadelphia, and will be
shipped next week to the st. Clair
Tunnel Company.
Four locomotives of the same kind
nave been built at the Baldwin Works
for the company. Each is guaranteed
to haul a load of 760 gross tons Of cars
and Iading up a grade of 105 feet to
the mile-equivalent to a train of
twenty-five or thirty loaded freight
a The St. Clair Tunnel Company,
for which the locomotives have been
built, controls the line of railroads rum
ming through the tunnel under the St.
Clair river. It is near the junction of
the st. Clair river with Lake Huron,
and connects the towns of Port Sarnia,
Ont, and Port Huron, Michigan. The
railroads which runs through the tun-
mel is the connection of the Grand
Trunk Railway of Canada with its line
in Michigan. The tunnel is 5000 feet
long and the approaches are 1, $50 and
2, 500 feet respectively, making a total
length of over two miles. The APP
proaches have a grade of 105 feet to
the mile, and a heavy locomotive is
required to haul trains through the
tunnel and up the grade of the APP
prOaches.
The locomotives are known as tank
locomotives, having no tender. There
is a tank on each side Of the boiler, and
their capacity is 1000 gallons. There
are five pairs of driving wheels so
inches in diameter. The wheel base is
10 feet 3 inches. The cylinders are %
inches in diameter, having a stroke of
% inches. The boiler is of steel 3 of
an inch thick, and is 6 feet 2 inches in
diameter. There are $50 fues q inches
in diameter and Ii feet 6 inches long.
The ire-box is II feet long and 81 feet
wide. The locomotive is too heavy for
some of the bridges it will have to cross
on the way, and the cap, tanks, side
rods and other parts will have to be
taken off and shipped separately.
