A Newsy Letter from Wide Awake Cor

Monday evening two of our young sports
fought a duel on Second street. Pistols were
the chosen weapons. One shot was exchanged
on each side and up to the present it cannot
be said whether either of the participants
was seriously injured. The night patrolman
kindly took them before Squire Monaghan.
who let them Off on a basis of s. a shot and
costs. The boys said duelling is nice sport,
but it comes high.
Irwin Meyer, OF Shenandoah, spent last

Owing to the rough weather Tuesday
evening the opera house was not crowded as
expected, still the audience that witnessed
the production of Daniel L. Harts famous
drama Underground" was good-sized one.
Should the drama be produced here again a
packed house will witness it.
The Philadelphia Press published report
yesterday that the Girardville Gas Works
had shut down on account of scarcity Of
water. The report is not true. The works
are in full operation and the company has
erected large water tanks near the boilers to
prevent any suspension on account Of
drought.

comedians of the first water, who have

comedians fuller scope for their unequaleC
vivacity and inimitable versatility, the
delightful comedy has been remodeed ant
reconstructed so as to introduce profusior

incidents filed with rollicking witticisms anC
capital hits.

met an ex-Republican candidate for office
yesterday and he delivered himself of the
following little piece, which may interest
some of the HERALD readers: of there is
anything that demands the attention of the
Legislature it is the striker nuisance in
politics Not an election is held that does
not bring to the surface swarm of these
pests They demand money for every little
service and the candidates are made the
victims of daring blackmail from the be-
ginning to the end of the campaign. think
all the candidates should enter contests on
their merits and not upon their ability to
respond to the demands of the blood-suckiug
strikers. The Baker ballot law does away
with the printing of tickets by candidates.
Now let other reforms be made. But the
Baker law could be much improved. 1t does
not yet afford a system for secret voting.
The loop-hole that permits the friend to enter
the booth and help make up the ticket is too
large. There ought to be an educational
qualification, or the assistance should only be
given by one of the sworn election officers"

THE COHOES KNITTING MILLS.
GREAT INCREASE OF BUSINESS UNDER THE

IMPROVEMENT OF TILE GOODS.
tFRoM A srAyr CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBuNEl
Cohoes, Aug 6.-There are thirty-eght
knitting mills in this city. nearly all
of which make cotton underwear. They
are all running on full time, with orders
for all the goods which they can manufacture. The
manufacturers delighted with the busincss out
look, and attribute their good fortune 70 the in
crease of duties knit underwear by the Nc
Kinley act The increase of business since the
act went into operation is made evident by the
enlargement Of the knit-goods factories and the
building OF new ones Akin Brothers are build
ing a knitting mill which will employ 200 men.
The Victor Knitting mill has nearly doubled its
capacity lately. Two other mills have been com
pleted within the present year, owned by
George ii. Mcdowell and the other by A. Leroy
e. Sons
"'he only one who has not been benefited by
the tariff, said manufacturer here to-day, is
the foreigner The American manufacturer has
been able to sell his goods at profit; men and
women in the mills have had constant employ
ment and the consumer has obtained his goods
at lever price than before the passage Of the
act The manufacturers declare that formerly
nearly all the fine lightweight knit underwear,
ranging in price from 81 80 10 SIS a dozen, was
imported Now that market has been taken and
1, held by the American manufacturers. All
knit goods valued at more than 81 so dozen, and
not more than So per Dozen pay duty OF 81 per
dozen. "and in addition thereto" 35 per cent
ed yalorem. Additional duties are also levied with
each increase in value up to ", reaching duty
at that point Of 81 so per dozen and 40 per cent
sd yaIorem. If valued at more than 81 per dozen
such goods pay duty of 81 per dozen and 40
DcT cent aa vaorem 1t will be readily seen
that the duty upon mediumpriced knit goods eff
fectually shuts out foreign competition, and yet
the American manufacturer has lowered the price
NJ these goods since the Mckinley act became a
law. When the high-grade goods reaching $50
q dozen, are reached, the foreign manufactures
leaps over the barrier Of the tariff and enters into
