people almost a hundred and one

Of this town look around about them

hose house question that is now so
famous Ben is reported as saying that
"he didn't care whether It would be

Lehighton Republican next year and
that's what / want" Again he said he
didn't care II certain Republicans we're
down on him that he would get ten

Republican votes here that would

The Largest and Finest Carpet Store In the
Lehigh valley.
On recent visit to the large, commo-
lious carpet store Of J. NJ. Grimley, SO4
Hamilton street, Allentown, we were es-
corted through the different departments
by the proprietor, Mr.. Giimley-a man
whose amicable disposition toward all who
come in contact with him, coupled with
natural business qualifications, brought
him prize worth being proved of-the
largest, finest and best equipped carpet
store in the Lehigl Valley.
Progress and prosperity are best illus
trated by comparison. In February, 1884,
Mr.. j m. GrimleY bought out the carpet
store Of j. T. CLOVER. Though good sized
room, 22x64 feet, the customers Of eight
years ago will scarcely recognize it now
The carpet trade was new to Mr. Grimley
but he soon acquired thorough knowl.
edge Of the business, and being a man Of
push and energy he quickly gained a large
trade, so much so that his limited quarters
soon compelled him to occupy the base
ment and upper floors. With these eX-
pansions, and they were large, he thought
he would be amply prepared to meet all
demands upon him in the way Of trade,
but last spring he found further enlarge
ment necessary, and which he has just had
brought to campletion by the erection of
an annex to the rear 27x7O feet, giving the
ground floor an average width of q feet,
and length Of 1874, making it one Of the
largest store rooms in the city. Light
pours in from front and rear also from
several large sky-lights, thus enabling Gus

number of Siemen's reflector gas lamps are
arranged through the centre of the room
at convenient height, flashing a strong and
steady light on the carpets when spread on
the floor. The store room has been pap
cred and all the shelving remodeled. A
shade rack and counter occupy the front
part Of the store, while on the east side,
near the centre of the room, a nice office
in hard wood finish helps to beautify the
room. Mr.. Grimley's aim was to have room
adapted In every department to the busi-

RUNNING a newspaper requires capt'
tai just as surely as a locomotive does
steam. The strides the newspaper
makes dspends entirely upon the sup.
port given, just as truly as the speed
of the engine is regulated by the power
applied. We are endeayoring to run a
newsY paper, but there are a number OF
delinquents who could help us out

is the root of all evil, and some of our

not. We will sacrifice the paper on

A SANTA MONICA BOY DESERTS S
FROM THE CHARLESTON.
Not Happy One-He Is Now Safe at
Home.

The Santa Ana Blade contains story
about Santa Monica boy who was ar
rested there on some petty charge:
1t now transpires that Williams, the
young man who gave the marshal such
lively chase on Thursday last, turns
out to be a deserter from the man-of-
war Charleston.
Prisoners when in confinement natur-
ally become more or less communicative
with their fellows in trouble, and it is
through one of the men that shared
blankets with the young fellow that it
has become known that he was fleeing
from life which he has described as
being few degrees worse than that OF
prison.
Williams first become infatuated with
the bright furnishings of the crack man
of-war's man when she lay on dress pa
rade at Santa Monica. The sailor boys
all looked go trim and pleasant and
happy looking on the day hepaid visit
to the vessel, that he was quite carried
away with the idea of joining the navy
and becoming one of the boys in blue.
At the time of his first visit to the
ship he was employed by farmer re-
siding near Santa Monica, and the hum
drum life of ranch hand seemed tame
to him when compared with the pomp
and exterior doings OF the hundred or
more young men that he met on duty on
the ship.
Being young man of fine physique
and address, it was not hard matter
for him to enlist, and he was put in the
firemen's quarters, one of the most
onerous positions to which he could
have been assigned.
He found that for the slightest infrac-
ton of the regulations he was repri-
manded, and that his credit marks were
taken from him on the least provoca-
tion. To be ''good order" man was to
be something that required all his wax
ing moments of watchfulness and care
that he might not incur the displeasure
of superior officer, and even his sleep
ing moments-should they inadvertently
be prolonged-were watched that he
might not become derelict.
1t WAS when in Japan that be was al
lowed days freedom on shore, and
then it was that he purchased the silk
| handkerchiefs which were found on him.
He intended putting them in the mail
and sending them to couple of pretty
cousins at home when he had the op-
portunity. sN
Long before his return to the United
States he had made up his mind that
should he ever get the opportunity he
would make good his escape.
He managed while off duty at San
Diego to give his guardians the slip, and,
dressed in the garb OF a man-of-war's
man, he struck out for the country. He
managed to get hold of pair of over
alls, and with an old hat picked up in
town. he thus disguised himself.
By this time he is doubtless far from
harms way, as he proposed putting
himself where men-of-war are unheard
of and dry land and corn-beef and cab
bage are considered good enough. for the
Inhabitants of his intended where
