Coal has been found along the
line of the Harvey's Lake railroad.
An exchange says: "Several coal
men from Wilkes-Barre have been
at Harvey's Lake and vicinity re-
Gently and have become very much
interested in the finding of semi-
bituminous coal deposits along the
mountains. A farmer on Dutch
Mountain, near the lire of the new
railroad running from Harvey's
Lake to Noxen, few days ago
while digging along the mountain
that joins his farm, saw a black
looking substance under large
stone he had blasted and by some
digging uncovered good quantity
of scmi-bituminous coal in vein
about eighteen inches thick. This
is what has attracted spectators,
and all say that the underlying
strata may be mined in paying
quantities. Practical coal men are
also becoming interested and pre-
parations are now being made TO
send tue coal to market

MATCHMAKER AND JEwELER,
DUSHORE. Pa.


The announcement in yesterdays
Republican, that one of the plants
of the Lackawanna Iron and Steel
Company had been compelled to
temporarily suspend work for want
of orders for steal rails, ocassioned
a good deal of surprise, and also no
little sympathy for the 600 en-
ployes who will be thrown out of
work at time when full employ
ment is most acceptable-just be-
fore the holiday season. A large
number of the steel plants through
out the country have been compelled
to adopt a similar policy. For
some reason expected orders for
steel rails have failed to materialize,
and the works are compelled to
suspend operations, at least tempor-
arily. Little more than month
ago the future of the trade appeared
to be bright and promising, and even
now there is at least some hope that
the suspension will be of brief dura-
tion and that when the new year
opens there will be sufficient orders
on hand to warrant resumption on
full time.
The mills of the Bethlehem Iron
Company, which suspended week
ago, received an unexpected order
and operations have been resumed,
but unless other orders are received
there will be a suspension again in
January. There must be some ex-
plainable reason for this unexpected
depression in the steel rail business.
What that reason is may be known
to the manufacturers and purchas-
ers of rails, but not to the public.
That the depression has affected the
steel rail mills throughout the coun-
try is an assured fact. Some natur-
ally attribute it to the belief that a
special session of Congress will be
called in March, that revision of
the tariff will follow, and that the
duty on foreign steel rails will be so
greatly reduced as to bring down
the price of American rails, and that
the railroad companies are delaying
orders as long as they can in view
of possible advantages to them.
Other American industries are at
tributing unexpected depression in
their business to this cause. The
fact cannot be denied that the ex-
pected change in our tariff system
has greatly disturbed the manu-.
featuring industries of the country,
and there will be no relief until it
shall become known what the ex-
pected change is to be. When that
is known the people will adjust
themselves to it; whatever it may
be. The existing uncertainty causes
the trouble.-Scranton Republican.

CONDUCTED BIZ MEMBERS OF THE W. G. T. A
SOCIETY OF LAPoRTE, PA.

OuliuS tA0 llCcuoC rSIeatiOh al
Johnstown last March, not only the
Protestant clergy but Rev. Father
Kittell of the Catholic Church, were
leaders of the anti-saloon element
AS so many Catholics were saloon
keepers, the decided opposition OF
their priest shows bravery and
sound temperance principles. In
one his addresses to his congrega.
tion, after protesting against the
signing of petitions of applicants for
license, Father Kittell said
eff any do sign such petitions,
let them cease styling themselves
faithful children of the church, let
them take their proper place in the
ranks of the heather and publicans,
but let them at the same time re-
member that just as they now act in
opposition to the church, SO one day
their children will act in opposition
to their wishes and will rebel against
their commands. Let them with
draw their names from the applica-
tions before it is too late, and the
blessing of God will reward them
for so doing.
"No one can serve two masters.
He cannot serve God and Bacchus.
II he love one, he must necessarily
condemn the other. So in this
irreconcilable conflict between the
church and the liquor traffic, no
Catholic can be neutral, the line is
too clearly drawn. The church by
her highest authority has declared
herself the enemy of the liquor
traffic, root and branch, and those
Catholics who favor and maintain
this business are open enemies to
the church.
81 appeal to the women of the
parish to take an active interest in
this matter, as the evils of the busi-
ness affect them more directly and
more seriously than the male por-
ton. They have wept and suffered
too long and uncomplaingly. They
have great influence, and they must
arouse themselves and exert them
selves and exert it. The saloon is
the mill that is grinding away un.
ceasingly. 1t is run by the silent
stream of woman's tears and broken
hearts; broken pledges, wrecks of
human happiness and lost chances
of heaven are the grist for its in
satiable hopper.
"The only hope for women is to
discuss the matter with one another,
and to keep on discussing and
urging it until public opinion be-
comes so strong as not to allow any
licensed saloon in our midst. AS
long as liquor is sold under the pro-
lection of the law, just so long will
moderate drinkers become sots, just
so long will your boys develop into
drunkards. No one has right to
sell alcoholic beverages, and by with
holding licenses the court will do
injury to no one, and surely the
court will not grant license to any
community whose members do not
desire it,"

Both Sfdes Have Something ia
Say Regarding the Alleged
Attempt to Poison
NOn-UnfOn Men.

NOn-UniOn Men.
HOMESTEAD, Dec. 12.-The sensa-
tional reports Of the poisoning OF
the men in the Carnegie steel works
here, while engaging the attention
of almost every person in the town,
is given no credence by the majority
of the people, whether they have
been identified with the strikers or
not. 1t is said, however, informa-
tions are to be made shortly against
persons implicated in the alleged
poisoning plot, and sensational de-
velopments are expected. As yet
the attorneys for the Carnegie Steel
Company are reticent, as the publ
cation came before their plans had
fully matured.
Secretary Killgallon, of the Am
algamation Association, said to-day:
"Ihe idea that the Amalganated
Association would take part in such
plot is preposterous. I do not
know this man Beatty and never
heard of him before. / assure you
the Amalgamated Association has
had nothing whatever to do with
this case in any shape or FORM"
Secretary Breccke, one of the at
torneys for Carnegie said; "The
idea as to Beatty's statement in
Louisville that he was arrested to
prevent his testifying who fired the
first shot on the morning of the
riot is nonsense. He was arrested
because of his completely in the
poisoning plot, and he knows it..
The company is gathering more
evidence against the leaders, and
every day adds something to the
chain being forged around them.
We think our case will be made the
strongest by a few days. waiting.
We are sure none will escape"
Hugh O'Donnell, the ex-leader of
the Homestead strikers, was inter-
viewed in Jail this morning on the
subject. O'Donnell denounced the
reports as false, and requests that
his friends at once take steps for a
searching investigation of the
charges.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

A local newspaper says an ex-
change, is often accused of bias in
regard to giving personal notices, OF
mentioning the coming and going
OF some and emitting others. The
fault is with the people and not the
editor. He is always willing, and
even anxious to tell who comes and
goes if he can find out. If you
have visitors, let lis know who they
are and where they came from.

Removing Superfluous Hair.

DR.. Leviseur, who has, made O special
study of the removal of superhuous hairs
by electricity, is Of opinion that the best
results are obtained by allowing the pa
tient herself to close and interrupt the cur
rent by pressure ON the electrode attached
to the positive pole. If the needle be in
troduced into the hair follicle and the cur
rent closed, twenty seconds will suffice to
destroy the hair, which will be found to be
perfectly loose and which should be re-
moved at once by forceps.
The operation is not by any means COM
Portable one, but there are few patients
who object to second treatment when it
is necessary. A 20 per cent. salve of cocaine
in lanolin, thoroughly rubbed into the skin.
enables even very sensitive patients to un-
dergo the operation with comparatively
little pain. As rule, so to 100 hairs are
removed at one sitting, and the sittings
are renewed at intervals Of week or ten
days. The proportion Of hairs that start
new growth is greatly dependent on the
skill of the operator, but they should not
be more than or 10 per cent.
Immediately after the operation the pa
TENTS face is washed with hot water and
alcohol. and an antiseptic ointment is ap.
piled. 1t is fo'. md advisable to extract only
the coarser and more deeply seated hairs
and to leave the lanugo hairs alone.-Pitts-
burg Dispatch.

Cheating, a. Landlord.

Some people SEEM to,Begard their land
lord as natural enemy and take every op-
portunity of having the advantage of him
if they can. A. man Of this sort was q
grocer who leased Il shop in leading
thoroughfare. Whenever rent day came
around this gentlsman was sure to de-
mand an abatement for some reason or
other. On one OCCASION he asked deduc-
tion of ten pounds, this being the value Of
number of sacksof -four that had been
destroyed by the bursting of waste pipe,
which he contended Was due to the negli-
gence of the landlord AS it seemed inn
possible for the Leak, which was very
tritiing, to have caused such an extensive
destruction, we resisted the claim and re-
sorted to legal measures to enforce pay
ment of the rent
Meantime thegrocer had discharged an
assistant for some offense, and this young
man, no doubt by way Of doing his late
employer a. good turn" informed us that
the flour destroyed was some musty old
rubbish upon which his master had delib-
erately poured few bucketfuls Of water.
The grocer, ON being acquainted with this
statement, described it as simply q cock
and bull story concocted by the assistant.
Later on, however, he seemed to view the
matter in different light, for on the day
before that on which the case was set
down for hearing he paid the rent in full.
and also the court expenses. After that
we were troubled with no more claims for
damage to gOods-so far as this gentleman
was concerned.-London Tit-Bits.

A Persuadfng Clerk.

Once, when I was still in deacon's Or
ders, the clerk of a neighboring parish
came over to inform me that the parson
had been taken suddenly and seriously ill,
and that he would be greatly obliged to
me if would take his service for him on
the following Sunday morning The man
was much delighted at my consenting, and
was profuse in his thanks. Just as he was
leaving the room he casually remarked,
"Oh, by the way, it is sacrament Sunday"
l then explained to him that I was un-
able to do what he wanted, for was only
in deacon's orders, and that he must get
some one else. He seemed much distressed
at the failure of his efforts, and at last,
like one trying his last chance, he turned
to me with most insinuating smile and
said, Couldn't you do it, sir, just for
once!'-Cornhill Magazine.

Fan Folding and Fan Painting

Nobody in America has quite mastered
the art of folding fans. That difficult art
has been developed best in the fine French
fans that are for sale at prices ranging
from $50 to $500 apiece. In folded fan
the edges of all the sticks should be paral.
lei and even, the shoulders should be of
equal height, and the. silken body should
be snugly and evenly disposed within the
inclosing sides. A French fanmaker,
unique among his fellows, having mastered
the whole art of fanmaking, came to this
country not many years ago and was en-
ployed by famous firm to make fans R
took charge of factory and was told to go
ahead. He was supplied with skilled work.
men and not uncomfortably limited as to
expenditure.
For few years the factory turned out
excellent fans. Even the folding was well
done. Then the head workman died, and
it was feared that with him had almost
perished the art Of fan folding in this
country, but he left his secret behind him.
1t was very simple secret, the tools being
primitive enough and the process apparent
ly not difficult, but as the whole art lies
in the delicate manipulation that comes of
long practice, his place has never really
been filled by those to whom he impaired
his secret.
Fan painting of the finer kind is almost
as little practiced in this country as fan
folding The same firm that employed the
French workman sought high and low in
New York for fan painter until young
woman with undoubted artistic genius
was found. She had just sold painting for
large sum, and she was asked to paint
three fans No limitations in regard to
subject, time or price were fixed. In the
course of time the work was done, but it
never saw the light. Her genius was not
for fan painting.--New York Sun.
