nMusT BE DEFEATED .

The Golden club has declared a
great many anathemas against the
|acts and interests of the American
Ipeople, but in a sweet, seductive way,
.and it is not surpsising now to learn
ktf the edict has gone forth from that
influential free trade coterie that our
Mckinley "must be defeated" We
shall see. Let us retain our composure,
for the pronunciamentos of the Cob
den club are not infallable.
Many mistakes in dictation, in per-
|suasive argument and in lucrative in
ducement have been attempted by
this generous but aggrsndizing British
body to make division of interest and
enmity between American capitalists
and American laborers, as British
statesmen did between the North and
the South before and during our civil
war, and as Satan did and is always
doing between parties whose domestic
relations should and which do require
united action to preSerUe protective
and prosperous conditions.
Fortunately, there need be no fear

MINING MATTERS
AN EXCELLENT PIECE OF
WORK JUST COMPLETED.
SILVER CREEK SHAFT FINISHED.
A Brilliant Future for New Phila-
delphia and Vicinity-A New
Supply of Coal for Fifty
Years.

The people of New Philadelphia and
vicinity are jubiant over the completion of
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company's gigantic piece of work at
fuckers hill, mile and half from the
town.
The Silver Creek shaft is completed,
John H. Evans, The contractor of town,
having reached the bottom, over 300 feet
below the surface.
The shaft is second TO no piece of mine
work of the kind in this section of the
state. Some are inclined to place the
Shenandoah City colliery shaft, in town,
on par with it, but Mr.. Evans, who also
had the contract for the Shenandoah City
work, says that the New Philadelphia shaft
takes the cake, especially in the line OF
timbering The Silver Greek shaft is tim
bered throughout with yellow pine while
the timber in the Shenandoah City shaft is
of white pine and oak.
The Silver Creek shaft was started on the
22d day OF February, 1890. 1t is p feet 6
inches long and 12 feet wide, inside the
timbers. 1t is timbered from top to bot
tom with Pinch square timber, the bunt-
ings being 1919. At a depth of 365 the
first vein (the orchid) was struck The
Primrose was struck at a depth of 450 feet;
the Holmes at SIS; the seven-foot at 750;
the top split of the mammoth at 800; and
the bottom split al 9l0. The bottom split is
GOO feet below the old Tucker hill slope
workings.
The shaft is constructed for two cages
and pump and air shaft.
During the operations of year and
nearly seven months not one life has been
lost. Not more than eight men were in
jured and none of them were incapacitated
for work more than twenty days on ac-
count of the injuries.
The people of New Philadelphia and
vicinity may well rejoice, for the compile
ton of the shaft will inspire new life in
that section. The work is one of the most
important the p. & r. O. s. 1. Co. has
under way. All the veins cut by the shaft
are of excellent quality and will meet all
demands for fifty years hen O.
The p & r. O. & L. Co. will develope
the place at once. Work on large engine
and boiler houses has already begun and
surveys have been made for the breaker
which will be a gigantic one.

Natural Gas Scarce.

The HERALD is indebted to Mr. George
W. Pooler, OF Pittsburg, who is visiting
friends in this county, for information con-
corning the natural gas field in the western
part of the state, MIR. Pooler says Pitts
burg is getting TO look as black as it was
before the use of natural gas, which is
getting scarce and high in price. All the
manufacturers have discontinued its use
and have taken up coal again for fuel
This is making the coal trade brisk. The
cost of natural gas for a cooking stove to
private families has gone up to S35 year.
The first year the gas was put in use it cost
81. The second year it went up to 500, the
third to $25, the fourth to $50 and now it
has gone IS higher.

In an account of Mexican meteorites
Mr.. L. Fletcher, an English mineralo-
gist, describes fourteen huge masses of
iron which have been found within a
small section of country. The largest
has the form of beehive, rises four
feet above the ground, and is five feet
in diameter at the surface of the soil,
beneath which it extends to unknown
depths. The second mass, estimated
to weigh 1000 pounds, is now in the
National museum at Washington. The
Butcher masses number eight pieces,
weighing from 300 pounds to $50
pounds, and having q total weight of
1000 pounds. The Sanchez estate
mass weighs 252 pounds, and the Fort
Duncan mass 81 Ia pounds. The
greatest dispersion is sixty-six miles,

that is, that not more than 20, 200 peo-
pie during 1890 arrived in New York
who did not live here, or who were not

Furthermore it should be noted that
New York has become to so great de-
gree the port to which transatlantic
business tends that not more than Is
per cent. of either Immigrants or cabin
passengers land at any other port. A
few go to Boston or Philadelphia or

Too Much Apathy.

Couldock's company was once barn
storming through Virginia. 1t was at
Petersburg, and the play was ''The
Chimney Corner" All through the
audience sat in distressing silence,
neither laughing nor shedding a tear,
although ''The Chimney Corner
abounds with humor and pathos, and
the company then producing it was of
great merit for those times. Couldock
appeared to pay no attention to the
apathy of his audience until just at the
close of the performance. The con-
Guiding lines of the play are somewhat
to this effect: "You, John, are happy,
and so are you, Ellen; so am I, and SO
are we all. Let us hope that our friends
the public share our happiness.
But to the surprise of everybody
Couldock fell into a towering passion
when he reached these lines, and in
laundering tones he said, "You, John,
are happy, and SO are you, Ellen; SO
am /, and so are we all except the fools
that have been sitting like stoughton
bottles in front of the footlights to-
night !"-San Francisco Argonaut.

Though epicureans will say warm
water is against good flavor, I found
oysters at the mouth of the st. Johns
river, Florida, very fine. They were
extremely fresh, the only trouble, and
one easily rectiaed. Formerly oysters
were common from Maine to Florida,
but now Long Island is the most north
ern point. This is somewhat singular.
Some years ago while doing the Maine
coast pushed up small river about
ten miles to the town of Damaris-
Gotta, where there was an Indian
mound. The latter found made up
entirely of oyster shells of remarkable
size, piled one upon another for fifteen
or twenty feet up, big pine tree grow
ing in the mass.
This showed that several hundred
years ago the coast abounded in fine
oysters, which had been carried up the
river year after year until the pile of
shells had reached the proportions of a
hill. In it found charred deer bones
and fragments of simple Indian imple-
ments. That the Indian had exter-
minated the oyster is improbable, and
1 assume that the beds were destroyed
by an exceptionally cold winter Cor.

OF the few animals which now in
habit the woods and the hillsides, per-
haps the badger is the least known to
the general public. He is nocturnal,
in the first place, and his coloring be-
ing In broken tones, does not readily
arrest the eye. His mead, chin and
neck are white, with brownish black
bands running on either side from the
nose over the eyes and ears. His up
per parts are light gray sprinkled with
black; the lower parts brownish black;
his fore feet are long and stout,
his limbs muscular, his jaw powerful,
and his teeth sharp; in fact he is well
set up as far as these formidable weap-
ons are concerned.
The usual length of the animal is a
little over three feet, but in his family,
as well as in the human race, there are
large and small individuals. Take his
general appearance as he joys along,
and small bear is at once suggested
to your mind. Many of his ways, too,
are bearlike; he will lie up in the win
ter, and eat vegetable as well as animal
food. Some other creatures that are
supposed to be strictly carnivorous will
eat fruit when they can get it.-Popu-

She KneM a Good Deal.

Two young girls, art students, were
talking about some sister students the
other day. Now, as a general thing,
the art student makes little enough as
piration to fashionable life or knowl-
edge of society's doings. Her profess
sion is enough for her, and it makes
little difference to her whether the
wind of fancy sweeps those persons
whose profession is fashion. But there
is one young girl, it seems, up among
the students at the Art league whose
relatives in the city are of the ultra
fashionable set, and who goes about
more or less with the fashionable
world. 1t was of her that the students
were speaking especially. SIS she
really so well up in thingsa" asked the
first one.
''Up in things!" echoed the second.
"Well, 1 should say so. Why, the
other day we were in a silver shop and
she knew what all the different spoons
were for''-New York Evening Sun.
