Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1891-01-29
FREELAND, PA, JANUARY %, 1891

In view Of the near approach OF
the Borough Democratic Convention
it would be we'll for that party, be
fore casting their votes at the primary
convention, to first consider the stand
ing of those seeking nominations Tor
the several Offices and to ascertain
their fealty to the ticket made by
former conventions. 1t is matter of
history that many of those in the
Borough Of Freeland, who claim al
legiance to the Democratic party, do
it only in name. Those men can be
seen at every municipal election in the
Borough of Freeland working against
the nominees on the ticket, and yet,
many Of them have the etfrontery to
ask the support of honest Democrats
when they themselves are looking for
office The rules adopted by the
Democratic voters of Foster Town
ship, in reference to candidates for
Office, would be a good one for the
Democratic voters of the borough to
adopt. 1t is as follows: Candidates
for township officers must be men
who have voted the Democratic ticket
for at least two years preceding their
nomination.

In his inaugural address Governor
Patlison made use of an original
phrase which promises to become the
battle cry of every man who sincerel,
desires ballot reform. Every word Of
that phrase contains the true Demo
cratic ring, and none will dare dispute
the fact that "when money shall be
king at the American polls money will
be king at American Capitols'

has been found of little avail. 1t is sys-
temaucally violated. The industrial and
political boss almost invariably secures
the information he desires concerning
the ballot of his victim. 1t is for this
reason, because of their long and disas-
trous experience under the numbering
system, that the people demand its aboli-
ton and the restoration to them of their
lost right to free and unintimidated
vote. The reason for the existing con-
stitutional provision has in great measure
ceased. Corruption and brutal coercion
have taken the place Of ballot-box stuff
ing in our elections. To reform the
abuses in question Constitutional Con
vention is necessary. There is no reason
why such a convention should not be
assembled at an early day, its delibera-

PERSONAL REGISTRATION.
Additional warranty and necessity for
this are to be found in the demand for a
system of compulsory personal registra-
tration. Such system cOnnOt be Sc
cured without an elimination from the
Constitution of the provision that "No
elector shall be deprived of the privilege
of voting by reason of his name not being
registered" Like the numbered ballot
clause, this provision was inserted to
avoid an abuse which no longer exists;
while this provision remains it is an OBJ
struction to q reform now urgently need
ed and popularly demanded. An act of
Assembly may establish in Pennsylvania
the official ballot, the booth secluding
the voter, and the open count, all Of
which are important reforms; but we
cannot establish compulsory registration
or give to the people the one thing which
they most want and are determined to
have-a secret ballot-save Il Constitu-
tional Convention.

A LECTURE TO LOVERS.

Good Advice to Boys and Girls Who Are
in Love or Expect to Be.
Jerome K. Jerome, the English es-
sayist and humorist, delivers this inter-
esting lecture to lovers and those ecu
templating love:
ooh, you foolish, foolish little maid
ems, with your dainty heads so full of
unwisdom, how often, oh, how often
are you to be warned that it is not al
ways the sweetest thing in lovers that
is the best material to mako a good
wearing husband out of? The lover
signing like furnace will not go on
signing like furnace forever. That
furnace will go out. He will become
the husband full of strange oaths,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in
QUARREL and grow into the lean and
slippered pantaloon.' How will he
wear? There will be no changing if
he does not suit, no sending him back
to be altered, no having him let out a
bit where he is too tight and hurts you,
no having him taken in where he is too
loose, no laying him by when the cold
comes to wrap yourself up in something
warmer. AS he is when you select him,
so he will have to last you all your life,
through all changes, through all
seasons

CURIOUS ENGLISH.

Specimens of Queer Expressions Used by

IA notice displayed IN Norway hotel
is curious specimen of s'English as

"Bath! frst-class bath. Can anybody

bers' Journal, another specimen Of for
eigners' English, displayed on notice
posted up in an art exhibition in Japan
to which foreigners were welcomed.
Here are few examples Of the rules:
"Visitors is requested at the entrance

BLONDES AND sEAslcKNESS.
Light-Haired People Cannot Stand q
Roush Sea.


Is there any mysterious reason now
unknown to the learned doctors why
people with light hair should become
seasick quicker than those with dark?
Yet, says the Chicago Tribune. Charles
Young, clerk of the steamer City of
Chicago, says this is so.
81 can tell 'em,'' Clerk Young said,
'sas soon as they come on the boat
whether they are going to be sick or
not. When I see a girl with light hair
and light blue eyes, who walks in with
a kind of uncertain gait, as if she did
not know exactly where she was step
ping, say to myself: Young lady,
you'll be sick before we are an hour
out But when the black-eyed woman
comes, who walks on board the boat
Just as if she had business there, l
know that any ordinary sea will not
affect her in the least
''Three-quarters OF the people who
become seasick on this steamer are de-
cided blondes. You may laugh at this,
but I have made quite study OF it, and
I will tell you am right If we had a
long run suppose it would fetch them
all. My observation has been con-
fined, of course, to the sixty-mile run
across to St. Joe, where the sea in the
summer time ought, according to my
opinion, to make nobody sick. But
these light-haired people will keel over
and want to die quicker than. anybody.
Why is it?"
With this the philosophical clerk told
the cabin1naids to prepare for a seasick
time. AS the City Of Chicago put her
nose outside the breakwater it was
soon proved that this precaution was
not in vain.

I THE EXAMPLE OF KINGS.
How the Gender Of Noun Came to B.
E L. Nv~nr i:

How the Gender Of q Noun Came to BE
Changed.
The French court, ever fond Of novel
ty, once carried it's innovations in
language so far as to alter the gender
of substantive in compliment to an
infant mistake of their grand monarch.
The word "carrosse," coach, was
originally feminine, as it's termination
implies, says Youths Companion.
But when M. Menage published a
dictionary he gave it as avowedly mas
-culine. The. revolution as to the gender
of this word arose from trivial gram
NAUTICAL error.
Louis XIV. succeeded to the crown at
the age of five years. Not long after
ward, on inquiring for his coach one
day, he happened to mistake the gender
of the noun, and said: ssOu est mon
carrosse?" using the masculine pronoun
instead of the feminine. The courtiers,
on the principle that the king can do
no wrong, even in grammar, at once
treated the word s'carrosse'' as mascu-
line, and so it has continued ever since.
Everyone initiates the example of the
king" used to be a courtly maxim, and
1t is even now acted upon more general
" than those who initiate it would ac-
knowledge. Yet even the most slavish
imitators of royalty would hardly go so
far as did the French courtiers during
the preceding reign, that Of Louis XIII.
This monarch also was boy when
he succeeded Henry w. And being a
boy he had no beard. Therefore the
cour4iers would wear no beard them
selves. Not man of them ventured to
appear in the kings presence unless
smoothly shaven.

WEESTER'S SMALL INCOME.

Only Fifteen Thousand Dollars Year
Made by the Great Expounder OF Law.
The legal profession of the present
day will be surprised to learn that Mr..
Webster, the greatest American lawyer
of his time, made but fifteen thousand
dollars year by his practice. But the
fees of counsel between 1910 and 1850
were not what they have been since.
In 1s48 accompanied client to MIR.
Webster's Office in Boston, says a writer
in the New York Sun, and asked him to
name retaining fee in an important
patent case. He said he thought that a
couple of hundred dollars would do.
When the case was tried his fee was
only one thousand dollars. On another
occasion paid him a retaining fee of
two thousand dollars for the proprie-
tors of the Goodyear India rubber
patent.
His fee for arguing the great equity
cause of Goodyear VS.. Day in the cir
cult court of the United States for the
district of New Jersey, by which he es-
tablished the validity Of the Goodyear
patent, was five thousand dollars. This
was in the spring Of 1852, and was the
last case he ever argued.
His professional income from 1918 to
1923, during which period he was out of
congress, averaged, think, twenty
thousand dollars q year.

THE HA WA,lAN'S "POl."

They Eat 1t with Their Fingers and
Catch 1t on the Fly.
In an article on the Sandwich islands
writer in Frank Leslie's Monthly says:
We saw the natives eating 'spoi. -
Poi is something like cornstarch and is
made from the ''taro," the Hawaiian
potato, which is first mashed into kind
of -four and then cooked until it is a
thick paste. Their manner Of eating it
is peculiar, and I will describe it as I
saw it.
Four or five persons {natives) were
seated on the forward deck around an
open earthen jar containing this pol
Putting their two forefngers together
they would Clip them into this jar; a
little twist of the wrist would collect a
fair mouthful, which was lifted rapidly
to the mouth (no dripping allowed);
the fingers were licked clean, and then
they were ready for another ego"
It doesn't look pretty, and as it is Gus
tomary for several to eat from the
same dish it rather went against my
/ American prejudice. If was very
much in love, and 'sshe" had very pretty
Fingers and was very particular about
her hands, might be willing to eat poi
with her.

Three Lotos Plants.

Three lotos plants, set out three years
lgo in the small lake near the north
western corner of Central park, New
York, have increased hundreds and
spread over an area Of many square
yards. Scores Of great pink blossoms
are now tossing their heads In air and
thousands of large cup-ike leaves rise
above the surface Of the water. With
in a year or two the lake itself is likely
to be. invisible beneath its mass Of
think green leaves. The sight now,
says the Sun, Is one Of the finest in the
park. 'Curiously enough the attempt
to domesticate the lotos in the lower
lake has been almost failure. The
American lotos fourishes finely in the
lily pond, just east Of the so-called con-
lservatory lake. IS

pensable.
The fan is an inseparable part of the
Japanese dress. A native is rarely
without fan It is his shelter from
the sun, his notebook and his play thing.
The varieties of these paper fans,
says the Paper Mill, would form a
curious collection in respect to form as
we'll as quality. The highest priced
fan that was used in the days Of Sc
clusion from the outer world was not
more than five yen, or fifteen shillings;
but now they have been made to order
for foreigners as dear as two to three
pounds sterling.
The general prices of ordinary fans
range from two shillings to guineas per
hundred.
There are many curious uses for fans
in Japan. The umpire at wrestling and
fencing matches uses heavy one,
shaped like large butterfly, the
handle being the body and rendered
imposing by heavy cords of silk.
The various motions of the fan con-
stitute a language which the wrestlers
fully understand and appreciate. For
merly, in time of war, the Japanese
commander used a large fan having a
frame of iron covered with thick paper.
In case of danger it could be shut, and
a blow from it's iron bones was no light
affair
One notable variety Of fan is made of
waterproof paper which can be dipped
in water, and creates great GOODNESS

Identification Cards.

A novel and ingenious plan to enable
a person to identify himself under all
circumstances, as when, cashing a
check or money or obtaining registered
letters or mail matter, has been in
vented. 1t is in the form of an ''identi-
fcation card" which is inclosed in a.
morocco case, so that it can be carrie d
around by the owner conveniently.
The card contains in one corner a
miniature photograph of the person to
whom it is issued, with his signature
below. Beneath this is the attestation
of a notary public to the genuineness Of
the photograph and signature. On an
other division Of the card is registered
the name, occupation, age and citizen
ship of the possessor, together with an
accurate description Of him and his
place Of residence. Room is also left in
another column for signatures and adj
dresses of any references that the
bearer may have.
