He was coming here to begin manu-
featuring the kinds of laces that the
Tariff prevented his shipping into the
country from England. In my line,
of course, the Tariff makes no differ
ence. We do not ship tea here.
The growing popularity Of the new
Tariff is convincing foreigners that the
triumph of lying last November was a
snap judgment, and that the people
we'll never consent to the repeal OF
that benefcent measure, The stream

a New Opening.

The United States Employment and
Business Agency of "A and 46 Broadway,
New York, have just made arrangements
with Max Reese of town, to represent
them in this city. Their plan is so simple
yet so effective that it surprises us it has
not been put in operation before this time.
They do business in buying, selling, and
exchanging real estate and business
chances, negotiating partnerships, procur-
ing capital for enterprises and also in pro-
curing situations and help Their agents
in the various cities send reports to the
central Office in New York every day, of
the wants in the various branches of busi-
ness they transact, which information is
compiled and sent to every one of the
agents throughout the country, of whom
there are now over so in the various cities
and the number is being increased daily.
1t will be seen at glance that the plan for
equalizing the labor market and transact
ing other business, is thus made very
simple and effective and cannot fail to be
successful A small fee is charged at the
local office, parties registering, which en-
titles them to the privilege Of same for one
month, where corrected lists of situations
and other business are kept on file. In no
way can the territory be covered so
cheapy and yet so eff etively, as under
this system. The agents are all we'll known
responsible men in their respective com
munities and have the confidence of the
people that the business will be conducted
on strictly honorable principles. This is an
enterprise which we think deserving the
support of the people of this city For
furthe. particulars call on or address,

A Brilliant Affair.

The supper in Robbins opera house last
night under the auspices of the English
Baptist church, was grand success. After
the feast three cake walks were arranged
and fifteen couples took part in each The
first was closely contested and was decided
in favor of Thomas Grfiths and Miss An
ME Thomas. The second was decided in
favor of George Flock and Miss Hannah
Tunnah, and the third in favor of Charles
Binneman and Miss Matte Lee. Some
very good walking was done and the judges
had no easy time to arrive at decisions,
but they succeeded in making adjudca-
tions satisfactory to ALL The music was
furnished by William Waters. The judges
were John II. Reese Robert Lawson,
Enoch Davis, Taliesin Phillips and Ed
ward L. Thomas. A handsome sum was
netted for the church fund.

stand how the amount had increased to
S429, unless Council intended to add in
terest. The matter was referred to the
law committee.
Mr.. Foltz appeared and complained that
contractor for street work had failed TO
pay him for labor He asked that
Council protect him by deducting The
amount from the money due the cont"ac-
tor from the borough. The street com-

STILL THEY COME.

Mr.. Alexander Garvie, of Leith,
Scotland, thus expressed himself to
representative Of the San Francisco
.onicle
On the steamer I was on crossing
the Atlantic was the owner of the
largest tannery in Glasgow, perhaps
In Great Britain. He was coming 10
America to establish branch factory
to tan the leather required for his ex-
port trade in this country. The worst
part Of it was he found he would be
forced to employ American workmen,
because some contract labor law they
have here would not permit him to
bring his own experienced men from
Scotland. He said there was no way for
him to get around building the factory
in America, for he could not possibly
pay the outrageous Tariff and sell his
goods here in competition with goods
made in the United States, Many
other manufacturers have determined
to build branch factories here for some
reason. To my knowledge there are
several in Glasgow and more in other
towns, and besid 9, of course, there
are great many L do not know any
thing about. One other man on the
= steamer was a lace manufacturer at

POLICEMAN CONNERS SERVED IT
Mr.. Shirey's Version of the Case
in Which the Minstrel Men
Were Mentioned-Cake
Walks,

Policeman Conners very effeotually
resented the insults of q Gilberton resident
in Pottsville yesterday, When Conners
and some of the councilmen of town were
10 a saloon fellow named Michael Kelly
of Gilberton, entered and said, as he
passed, Hello, ConnersW The policeman
returned the ssutation pleasantly and
said, Come and have something, I'm
setting them up"
Kelly turned, with q scowl on his face,
and said, mo, wouldn't drink with you
and, what is more, can pay for my
drink"
o, very we'll" replied Conners, II
wouldn't give you one, now"
Your re dirty ----," CON
tinued Kelly and, as he uttered the words,
Corners gave him a Sullvanizer in the face.
Kelly gathered himself up and hastened
to Squire Hills office, where he swore out
a warrant for Conners arrest on a charge
of assault and battery. Conners promptly
furnished bail.
The cUuncilmen who we're with the 20.
liceman say that the Gilberton fellow wa.
very properly punished. That no mar
could have resisted striking the fellow.
About two months ago Policemen Con.
ners and Phalen arrested Kelly and otherl
for engaging in fight at the corner o
Centre and White streets and Kelly ha!
held grudge against the two policemen
since then.

of cake-walker, who is willing to meet all

from anyone in the county. There are but
two considerations which are demanded in

clusions with this wonderful find" of
ours, and Il ey are there shall be no cor

Not the PARTY.

Some people of town are under the inn
preston that it was Francis Stetler who
left town some days ago with Mrs. Bern
hardt. 1t was not Francis, but Charles.
AS the men are brothers and both are
BARRIERS, and as Francis happened to be out
of town when his brother disappeared,
some people were mistaken in their identity
of the parties, but it is hoped that this state
ment will suffice to assure all that Francis is
with his family in town and was not the
party who disappeared.

Mahanoy City Willing.

If built, and the Shenandoah HERALD
assures the public there are now no OBJ
stacles in the way, the Mahanoy City,
Shenandoah, Grardville and Ashland
Street Electric Railway will be owned by
outside capitalists, the people of Shensn-
doah having failed TO respond to repeated
and urgent appeals to put up the capital
The Herald is anxious that the communi-
ties interested will not throw obstacles in
the way of the construction of any part of
the road. SO far as Mahanoy City is con-
cerned we think we can safely say that no
unreasonable restrictions will be enforced
or demanded, and while the interests of
the community will be carefully guarded
every proper encouragement will be
rendered the enterprise, which is bound to
be of great value and convenience to this

Organization of Another Water
Company Spoken OF.

Within the past few days large number
of prominent men have expressed indigna
tion at attitude the water company has
taken against the borough and yesterday
the organization of another water company
was predicted. 1t is understood that more
than one large property holder are prepared
to invest $50 in such an undertaking, and
that any amount Of subscribers for $500 and
upwards stand ready to chip in. Ont
gentleman said last night, "In view of
the understanding the water company
had with the borough some years
ago, when the borough gave up the
project OF establishing water works of It's
own, the company certainly has no moral
standing in its suit for $40 per fire plug,
and think the result will show it has no
legal standing. But, however, that may
be, it looks almost cel sain that the indigna-
tion aroused by the case will result in the
formation of q new water company"

A site Selected.

A H. Chadbourne, an electrical expei5
in the employ OF the Thomson Houston
Company, and Jonn F. Fnney, General
Manager of the new Shenandoah Maha-
noy City, Girardvile and Ashland Rail-
way company, were in town on Saturday
afternoon. The gentlemen had driven
over the proposed route and located the
site for the power house on Girsrd Estate
land at Girardville. In conversation with
Telegram scribe Mr.. Finuey said that
there was no possibility of doubt as to the
coming Of the new railway. The capital is
already secured, and most of the contracts
let. The gentlemen at the head of the
company are all monied men, who repre-
sent several millions of dollars, and who
are largely interested in similar railway
schemes in other sections of the state.
They expect to be represented at Wednes-
day evenings meeting of the borough
council when the question of ordinance
will be discussed. ed.-AShiand Telegram.
