IT'S BUT A RUMOR
IF TRUE IT WILL REVOLUTION.
I7B LOCAL TRAFFIC.
A SHORT ROUTE FOR THE READING
It is Said the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company Will Turn its
Short Route to the P. 81 r.
Railroad.

Its rumored, and there seems to be ex
cellent authority for the report, that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company will
abandon its short route to Pottsville and
surrender all its rights to it to the Phila-
delphia s. Reading Railroad Company,
Such change is by no means improbable.
The careful observer must know that the
short line has been a white elephant on the
hands of the Pennsylvania company.
While the line has been OF vast benefit to
the pr ople having occasion to tiavel from
town to Pottsvile and intermediate points,
and the patronage has cen quite liberal, il
is safe to say the company has lest money
by it. The original road was hardly laid
before it had to be abandoned on account
of the undermining by the P. & R, col.
liery workings and now the second road is
idle on account vf other mine operations oi
the same company. Obstacles have fallen
in the path of the Pennsylvania thick and
fist and it is doubtful if any other com.
psny would have stood its ground SO long
To be frank, the "Pennsy" short line ha,
practically been a plsything for the l.
high Valley and should the rumor that tht
route will be turned over to the Reading
prove true the Lehigh Kindergarten will
bear close resemblance to Russell Sage
office as it appeared after the bomb throwsi
tossed himself into eternity. There is ne
disputing the fact that with short line tC
the county seat the P. & Il. railroad woulC
not only regain the patronage it has lost
but would rapidly cut into the Lehigt

competition. 1t is said the return to the
Pennsylvania company, in case the deal il
made will, be tonnage and in this connection
the "Pennsy" line through from Philadel
phia to Wilkes Barre, via Pottsville, witt
q connection with the Readings at Wetheril
Junction, would form an important factor

MAIL SERVICE !
DETERNdIN ED MOVEMENT ON
FOOT TO IMPROVE IT.
N IMPERATIVE NECESSITY
This is a Matter in Which Al
Our Townsmen, Business PeO-
pie and Others Should Peti-
ton For.

The mail kernal planted by the HERALD
several weeks ago has taken root and is
now springing above the surface with a
vigor that promises rapid and healthy
growth. All along the line the cry for
increased mail facilities is taking root and
we are proud to see Postmaster KEEPER, OF
Ashland, taking such an active part in the
mater. A grand cry is raised for additional
mail facilities between Williamsport and
Pottsville and the attention of the people is
called to the fact to-day, with the popula
ton of the region between the two points
named showing u gain of over 10000 in
population, and the cash receipts OF the
post offices showing an increase of over
$50, %, the number OF mail trains leaving
east and west remains the same as twenty
years ago. With this condition of affairs it
is certainly necessary that the business men
and others in every community should
take some steps towards haYing the Post
Office Department improve the mail
facilities One improvement asked is ad.
ditionsl mail service by which train No.
l. leaving PotLsville at 7:4O a. M, and
train No. 10, leaving Williamsport at $3.50
p. M, will become regular mail trains, SO
that letter mailed at or west of Pottsvile,
in the morning, for Willismsport would
be delivered on the same day instead of
arriving there too late for the afternoon
delivery, as at present, Also, the letters
mailed east of Williausport after o clock
q m cnnld ha forwarded on the sftprnoon
of the day they were mailed, instead OF
laying in their respective post Offices until
the following day.
But this is not the only improvement
very much needed. There should be
additional mail facilities over the Pennsyl.
vania and Lehigh Valley from Pottsvilt
| (via Delano) to Ashland covering popu.
lation of about 100000 and embracing ST.
Clair, Mahanoy City, Shenandoah and
Girardville, besides the interlying districts
and the terminal points above mentioned.
To perfect these schemes it is important
that every business man or other citizen ol
this town and all others to be benefited by
the proposed improvements should write d
letter to the Assistant Postmaster General
at Washington, d. G., and one to r. c.
jackson, Superintendent Railway Mai
Service, New York, stating the necessity
and asking them to have this additiona
mail service established.
This is an important matter and it is
hoped our citizens will see the necessity fol
prompt and vigorous action,

SOCIETY IN BIG CITIES.
Famous Social Leaders to Tell
Exactly What it is Like.


Exactly What it is Like.
Tho social life in our large cities is one Of
the most fascinating studies in the world.
The women who comprise it are naturally
the most beautiful and the most brilliant
of their sex. Never have we, however,
seen this whirl Of society through the eyes
Of those who are its leaders We have
seen it from the outside, as it were, but now
we are to have gimpae3 of it from the 10
side. During 1892 The Ladies Home
Journal will give its readers these glimpses
in a series of interesting articles under the
title Social Life at Six Centres" Mrs.
Burton Harrison, the author of 1.-THE An
glomsniacs" is to write Of Social Life in
New York" and none can speak Of it
with so much authority as she who is one
of its social leaders. Mrs. Admiral Dahl
gren will portray "Washington Society" ,"
and Mrs. Annie de Koven, daughter OF
Senator Farwell, will write of "Social
Life in Chicago" Then Boston, Philadel-
phia and San Francisco will follow. These
/ articles will tell exactly what social life in
a great city means, how dinners are ar.
ranged and given; how the women dress
and act; the etiquette of the best parlors;
what the daily life of a society woman
means how girls are introduced into the
social swim and make their debut, and the
other hundred and one things which art
most interesting to read and know about il
social life and warfare. The Journal series
will be splendid one, without question
and will give thousands new idea of wha
it means to be "in society" in the lsrges
cities of our land.

His View of It,

EDITOR HERALD Il notice in the issue
of your paper to-day that you give praise
to the coal operators for the promise to pay
before Christmas and that you accept the
announcem ent of the promise as good
tidings. certainly haYe no objection to
all my townsmen having merry Christ
mas, in fact l wish them and all others
such, but cannot but look upon pay
before Christmas as injurious TO the inter-
ests of my fellow merchants. The pay
will undoubtedly gladden. the hearts of
the heads Of many families and give cheer
to many a poor soul who has journeyed
through the past year at neck and neck
pace with starvation, perhaps, but, as 1 said
before, L cannot rejoice. L fear that the
early pay, combined with the holiday
enthusiasm, will leave my freside cold
and cherries ard the credit account of
my ledger blank. 1 cannot but place faith
in the theory of an old customer OF mine
who said yesterday, Nothing teaches tho
lmprovident better than a storage of money
at Christmas time" GROCER.
