Not So Much Freedom Allowed.

In charging the grand jury last week
Judge Rice, after very clear and plain
review of the duties of grand juries, re-
ferred to the recent fight between HIM
garians and Italians at Milnesville.
He said that the reports of newspapers
indicated that there had been violent
disturbance, with the use of deadly
weapons, by which some of the partici-
pants were fatally and others seriously
injured. 1t was probably a race fued
and it may be that those engaged be-
lieved, since it was among themselves
alone, and since no outsiders were hurt,
that it was matter with which the pub
lie or the court had no legitimate con-
cern.
This, the judge said, was erroneous.
This is free country. These people
are free to come here, but they are not
free to take the law into their own hands
and thus wreak their private vengeances
upon each other. He said the grand
jury should inquire carefully into this
matter, if it be presented to them, and
return true bills against those who are
found to have participated, even though
there be no private prosecutor in the
case.

no advance; or in other words, the out
side men have been taxed Sl.OO per
month to cover all losses on the advance
given the miners.
Thus it is that instead of an advance
in wages it has been reduction, If any
thing, caused by increasing the cost of
living.
On the other hand, let US look in the
direction of the seaboard consumers and
examine the treatment they are receiv-
ing since the combine went into effect.
The price of coal has been advanced at
different times until the consumer pays
at least ST 90 per ton more now than be-
fore the new order of things took place.
This robbery has been going on unmo-
Tested since the first advance in the price
of coal was made, and last week, at a
meeting of the coal sales agents in New
York, it was decided the output for this
month would be $4,000, 600 tons. The
81 90 per ton tribute which has been
placed on the consumer by this combina-
tion of gentle highway men will in
crease their wealth for November just
So, 100000.
Certainly, all this does not go to the
combine. The individual operators, if
they ship 10000 tons per month, will be
that many more dollars Weather than
they would have been had the combine
not existed, because the advance they
gave their employees they squared it off
at home by increasing the cost of living,
thus leaving all advances in the price of
coal at tidewater clean profit.
1t is clear, therefore, that this is the
most gigantic robbery ever attempted in
this country. 1t is also the height of

Their condition is worse. Every day
is driving them deeper into poverty and
misery, and the men whom we elected
two years ago, and who were in this re-

looking for office, are now showing their
gratitude by not even entering word of
protest against the insidious methods
used at present for robbing the people.
Rather they seem to be accomplices.

The congregation of Trinity NJ. E..
church has made arrangement to erect a
handsome parsonage for its pastor at
Washington and Chestnut streets, and
work upon the foundation was COM
menced on Friday. The dimensions of
the building will be 22x40 feet. If the
weather continues favorable it will be
completed between now and next spring.
1t is also the intention of the congrega-
tion to build a church at the same place,
opposite st. Johns Reformed, but this
will not be done until some future time.
The present church building on Birkbeck
street, South Heberton, is too small for
the increasing demands of the members
of the congregation, and it is not con-
veniently situated.
These disadvantages will be overcome
in short while, and the Methodists
expect to be soon able to erect a fine
building next to the proposed parsonage

The Festive Sticker.

An idea evidently prevails among
many persons who have not seen the re-
vised form of ballot that stickers can be
used on the ballot to paste over any
name printed thereon. This is wrong.
None of the officially printed names can
be erased, crossed out or pasted over.
Stickers may be used, but they can be
legally placed only in the blank spaces
In the fourth column of the ballot left
for that purpose, and not over another
name. In these blank spaces the voter
may insert any name he pleases either
by means of a sticker or by writing or

Prominent wilkes-Barrean Dead

Manus McGinty, a well-knowm resi-
dent of Wilkes-Barre, died of bronchitis
in that city on Thursday after a short
illness, He was formerly resident of
Summit H i'll, Eckley and Buck Noun

for a number of years.
The deceased was an uncle of John S.
McGroarty, county treasurer, and had a
number of relatives in this region, where
he is highly spoken of by all who were
acquainted with him. The fuueral took
place on Saturday morning, interment
being made in the Laurytown cemetery.

Vote Against Kline.

Some time ago the tax payers of Free
land were much agitated by the report
that the county commissioners intended
doubling the assessments. This would
have been equivalent to tax of twelve
mills for county purposes, and that is
just about the kind of tax the Freeland-
ers would have to pay under Halle coun-
ty, in which event they would cease
quite emphatically to be freelanders.
Vote against Kline. Leader.

At the last term of court, w. G. STAY
ing and Alber Braun, of Pittsburg, plead
ed guilty to selling oleomargarine, and
sentence was suspended with the under
standing that they were not to sell any

From that time on, however, they vio-

were brought in and fined $500 each and

Realistic Mine Scenes,

The Lansford Record said on Saturday:
D. L. Hart's play of "Underground"
was produced in the Lansford opera
house Thursnay evening to the largest
audience of the season, and gave excel
lent satisfaction, which proves that the
mechanical and scenic effects were cor
rect.
Any exaggerated scenes would not
take in mining town; but so true were
the gangyay and shaft scenes that old
miners could not help applauding. The
gas explosion was very good
The cast is No. l, and all acquitted
themselves well. Mr.. Hart is to be con-
graduated upon the success of "Under-
ground" A return date would pack the

the best-educated farmers in the county.
Another rumor stated that he was to

Perhaps the fight most interesting to
lower enders is that Of Phil Boyle
against Michael Russell for recorder.
Boyle is making extraordinary efforts to
poll a large vote in this section, but as
yet he has failed to- give any reason why
Democrats should desert their candidate
and vote for him.
Russell is a man of principle. He
showed it when he lost good position
by refusing to scab in the strike of 1877,
and he showed it again when he refused
to enter into an agreement with Boyle
to make his own election certain if he
would promise the chief deputyship to
Boyle.
One Republican paper denied this for
Boyle, but the dates and place of con-
versation were promptly produced by
Russell, who, on Friday, repeated the
terms of the agreement, and says he has
proof that the offer was made.
Trimmer for coroner and Crockett for
surveyor will be carried into office with
the tide of victory, and both are men
who deserve to be supported and elected.
The contest for the legislature between
Reilly and Jeffrey is the most doubtful
of all. The district, being Democratic,
will probably go for the former on ac-
count of the number who will vote
straight, but Jeffrey's popularity and
the strong fight being made by his
friends is liable to upset all calculations.
Between the two candidates the TRIBUNE
has made no choice in the campaign.
One has been charged with intending to
vote for Quay for United States senator,
and has not denied it. The other is re-
garded as a friend of the new county
movement, and has said nothing to alter
such opinion. The voters of this side
will, no doubt, choose whichever they
consider the lesser of the two evils

THOSE OUTSIDE CORSETS.
The Latest Fad Shocks Passengers on n
Chicago Train.

The Latest Fad Shocks Passengers on n
Chicago Train.
The summer girl If out with a new
wrinkle. 1t discounts the suspenders
by about one hundred per cent, al
though the shoulder straps are pressed
into service in conjunction with it.
The new idea is nothing more or less
than a pair of corsets worn outside the
blouse.
A reporter encountered the new
wrinkle the other day on a bridge
train, and sustained quite a severe
shock. A pretty little girl entered the
car carrying a violin case She was
dressed in cool summer attire, consist
ing OF plain skirt and blazer OF the
same material.
Between the the open edges of the
blazer front bit of the same material
could be seen, which looked very much
like wide belt. The observer would
never have known whether it was belt
or what it was had not the fair wearer
been heated and removed her blazer,
throwing it over her arm in true man
fashion.
Then it was seen that the girl had on
pair of corsets outside of her blouse.
They were made of the same material
rs the rest of the costume, of regula-
ton height, and were separated in
front, being laced together with a silk
en- cord
The removal of the blazer created q
sensation in the car. A couple of young
men snickered; an elderly man who
wore flowing whiskers and looked like
Jerseyman glanced at the girl over
his spectaclcs and then, turning very
red, fixed his eyes on the floor.
A matronly old lady started to speak
to the summer girl, but was rcfrained
by her daughter, who said:
sob, no, ma; there's no mistake She
wears that way purposely."
"Law salles!" commented the old
lady, and looked both puzzled and dis
gusted.
The strangeness OF the costume was
increased by having pair of blue silk
suspenders, buckles and all, fastened
to the top of the corsets, both front
and back. 1t was question whether
the suspenders sustained the corsets or
vice versa. -Chicago Inter-Ocean.

RECOVERY FROM CONSUMPTION
The Dread Disease Is Not Always Fatal.

The Dread Disease Is Not ALWAYS Fatal.
Persons often ask "Can a person who
has once been seriously affected by this
disease, recover by the. use of any
known means?" We unhesitatingly
answer, Yes, as we can to-day point to
a considerable number of persons who
are alive and apparently enjoying good
health, whose cases were at one time
considered almost absolutely hopeless
in consequence of the advanced state OF
the tuberculous disease from which
they were suffering On each of these
persons a considerable area of lung.
tissue had been affected by the dis
ease. According to Prof. Brouar
del, an eminent Partisan ply.
sician, a large proportion of
persons affected by tubercuar disease
of the lungs recover This eminent
pathologiSt states that he has found
evidence of crude tubercle in the apex
of the lungs of sixty per cent of those
persons over thirty years of age on
whom he has made post-mortem eX-
animation on account of their having
died violent death. In these cases, of
course, the area of the lung affected by
the disease was small, the malaay not
having advanced sufficiently 70 inter
fere with the functions of the lungs, or
to affect the system at large. The inn
portant thing in this disease is to dis.
cover its presence while the morbid
process is still limited to small area.
This can only be done by a most crit
ical examination by an expert physi-
clan.
Laennec. the great French physician
who laid the foundation for the modern
science of physical diagnosis by which
disease of the lungs is studied, asserted
that patient does not die of his first
attack of tuber culosis, and othe- en-
incnt physicians have recognized what
is known as the pre-consumptive period,
during which the patient, although his
lungs may be considerably affected,
still seems to enjoy good health, pre-
senting no other symptoms than a
slight cough, little debility, and
slight shortness of breath. Good
Health.

Neat and Tasteful Continuance That Is

A Neat and Tasteful Continuance That Is

A tasteful continuance for keeping
newspaper clippings can be made of
heavy ecru-tinted envelopes and some
ribbon, which may be hung in a library
or office, and be really useful and in
good taste, and therefore truly decora-
tive. Take four or six firmly-made
heavy manila envelopes, eight or ten
inches long. Turn up the loose flap of
each, and paste it firmly to the face of
an envelope PLACED above it; this will
form series of pocket-like receptacles
one above the other. The flap of the
top envelope is to be turned up and
have ribbon loop at the point by
which to hang the pockets on the wall
or desk, and this may be finished
with q bow. For ornamental ton, with
black or red ink make border around
AN the edges of the envelopes and fol-
lowing the lines of construction, com
posed of double inch-long straight lines
alternating with dots, using a stub pen,
and making the dots equal in diameter
to the width of the two lines. This
will give three triangular-shaped de-
signs on each envelope. Do not use
white envelopes; the effect will not be
restful, but irritating to a nervous per-
son, who will probably scold without
knowing what is the matter Home is

A LITTLE GENTLEMAN.
What q Selfish Little Boy Learned from
the Canaries.

What Seinsh Little BOY Learneu from
the Canaries.
The very first snow of the season had
come-just enough to slide on without
going in over your boots.
1t was sunny December day, and
Ted and Mamie were out on the terrace
all ready for fun. :, ,si..
Mamie wore her blue hood and red
mittens. Her eyes matched the hood
and her checks matched the mittens.
She wanted the first slide down the
terrace
"Oh, please let me, Teddy" she begged
in happy flutter.
"No," said Ted; I'm going to slide
first, cause I'm the Oldest. Sides it's
my sled."Tl
"Then you're mean boy" said
Mamie.
Say tniich and I'll slide all the time"
answered Ted, coolly.
Wasn't it pity that quarrel should
cloud the beautiful bright day? Nam
:Iaa. thought so. She had opened the
,window to get handful of fresh snow,
and she heard it all.
"Ted. Mamie' mamma called. 'T'm
going to give Tony and Cleo a bath.
Don't you want to see?"
They came, hanging back little.
"Oh, yes!' crio-l Mamie.
1t was yet one of her delights to watch
the new canaries battle.
Ted didn't say nightingale didn't
care much about such fun himself
but he looked on while mamma took
off the cage-bottom and set the cage
over q glass dish full of water on the
oilcloth mat.
Tony hoped to the lowest perch with
an eager fiutter, and dipped his yellow
bill in the water Then all at once he
seemed to remember something. He
looked up at Cleo
"Chip. chip! chip!'' he said.
Cleo understood
"Che-up.' she answered softly.
Then down she came, and into the
water she went. while Tony stood by
and sang as il he meant to burst his
little throat.
When Cleo finished her bath, he took
his, scattering the water-drops like
rain.
Mamma looked at Teddy.
"What do you think Of it?" she asked,
with twinkle.
81 think Tony's little gentleman"
answered Ted, promptly. And I'm
going to be one too. You can slide first,
Mamie"
"No, you can" said Mamie.
1t was to see who shouldn't be first
! this time! But Teddy conquered. Sun
shine.
