The First Alarm.

AT an early hour yesterday morning
clouds of thick black smoke swept through
limerick street and the source was dis
covered in the chimney of house occupied
by Polish family near Lloyd street.
Efforts to attract attention Of the inmates of
the house failed and as the smoke continued
to sweep down the street in large volumes
an alarm was sounded. The department
responded, but when the fremen appeared
on the scene occupants of the house de-
elared that they had just started wood
fire in the kitchen stove.

latest cases under discussion is that of
Pole residing on South Main street. He
complains that he applied for license for
the building at the southeast corner of Main
and Poplar streets with the understanding
that he was to have the use of the whole
building. The place was considered an
excellent stand because of the room on the
top floor used for public and society meet
ings. He says that when he went to take
possession of the brilding, after securing the
license, the understanding of the landlord
did conform to his views. The landlord said
he could not have the whole building and
would have to be content with the lower
portion. Another condition of possession
which the landlord insisted upon was an
increase of rent from $40 to 800 per month,
The first condition was hard knock, but
the second dazzled him. The Pole thinks
game Of freeze out is being played on
him so that Paul Sdmms, who moved from
town to Plymouth few months ago, can
get the place; but as the Pole secured the
license in his own name he thinks he will
be able to bring about terms satisfactory 10
himself.
A well known gentleman, in discussing
the case, said that the license business is
being abused. Rents have been raised to
gilt-edged figures by landlords whose places
have been licensed and on the average the
rents are equal to those charged for some Of
the best places in Philadelphia and New
York.
Another feature that seems an abuse of
the license system is the readiness with which
licenses have been granted to parties who
applied for them simply to give their
properties selling price on the market.
while cripples, old people and widows with
small properties to protect were refused.
The fact that many worthy people were
thus handicapped has aroused a
strong sentiment among the people
in general and there is no doubt
that views on the subject will be given to
the public more fully in the near future.
1t is argued that it is unjust that needy and
law abiding people should be denied
licenses upon bona tide applications and
unquestionsble bonds, when new licenses
are granted the big fish right and left. 1t
certainly looks as if the English, Welsh
and American people are hoing scrutinized
TO an extent that gives it an appearance of
unjust discrimination, If the three judges
of the Pottsville court would pay our town
visit they would certainly accept this
conclusion.

BAKER BALLOT.

Instructions to Voters and Election Off
GERS Almost Ready.
Secretary of State Harrity will shortly
issue cards of instruction explaining the
Baker ballot law to voters and election
officers The instructions will be plain
and useful and will begin by stating that
the object of the new law is secrecy.
The right of the inspectors to challenge
voters remains. No one can pass the guard
rail if he is challenged or his name is not
on the ballot checklist, until he proves his
right to vote. No one can be given ballot
until he has passed the guard rail. Ballots
must be folded before they are given out,
so that ouly the official Endorsement can be
seen.
No ballot should be given to a voter who
desires help in marking it until the judge
has allowed such help to be given. A voter
de iring such help must declare specifically
that he cannot read, or is so physically dis
abled that he cannot mark his ballot. The
voter must choose his own helper.
Election officers are responsible for the
safe keeping of sll the ballots, whether
used at the election or not. No voter can
be allowed to take any ballot out of the in
closed space, whether he has marked it or
not. If he attempts to do so he should be
arrested for an attempted violation of the
act.
The card will also give detailed instruc.
tions to officers as to the manner of con-
Quoting elections

AMERICAN SABBATH.
The Work of the American Sabbath Uni
L. A


Rev. II. A. Dony's Appeal.
The Rev f. A. Dony, of Scranton, sec
retary of the American Sabbath Union,
spent Sunday in town in the interests of
Sabbath Observance. In the morning he
preached 10 the Presbyterin church and in
the evening in the Methodist Episcopal
church. He is a man of pleasing address
and is very enthusiastic in his work and
succeeded in inspiring his audiences which
not only listened attentively to his dis
courses but contributed generously to his
society. He called attention to the fact
that God intended the Sabbath to be
blessing-s delight-to man and to make it
the means of dispensing those heavenly in
luences which are necessary to his highest
welfare. The necessity Of preserving it to
the working people as a day of rest and
worship cannot be over-estimated. The
great majority of the people are slaves
through the week and if something is not
done to protect the Sabbath they will be-
come slaves on Sunday too. Toe demand
for Sunday trains and open exhibitions on
Sunday is made not by the laboring classes
III tholI OWu Ueutusi UuI uy eOulless cor
porations and wealthy individuals in order
to increase heir own wealth. The opening
on Sunday of the Columbian Exhibition at
Chicago next year would, if accomplished,
strike deadly blow at the lsborIng classes
| from which they would never recover. 1t
would mean the downfall of the christian
Sabbath and the enforced labor on Sunday
of multtudes who will desire to rest. The
question of opening it on Sunday not only
affects those who want to visit it, but those
| who have to conduct it, Rev. VIM.
Powick followed in the evening with
briet account of his experiences concerning
Sabbath desecraton in France and the
decentralization resulting from the opening
of the Paris Exposition on Sunday, and
attributed the recent anarchistic plots in
Paris to the fact that France is practically
without Sabbath. At the close of each
service vote was taken on the question Of
endorsing the petition of the w @. T. U.
to Congress to forbid the opening on Sun
day of any exhibition for which public
moneys are appropriated. The vote was
unanimous and the petition will be for
warded to Congress at once.
