POTTSVILLR LETTER.
a Very Interesting Letter From Our Live
ly Correspondent

ly Correspondent
Special correspondence to HERALD.
PoTTsvILLE, Nov. 3O-In my last com
munication I mentioned the fact Of the un-
timely death of a much respected man of the
clergy, who had died after an illness which
was as brief as it was painless 1t is the
opinion of the physicians and there were
four of them, that Father Duffy suffered
little, if any, from the time Of his sudden
illness on Monday night of last week until
his final collapse on the following Wednes-
day night at 915 o'clock. For this the com
munity have sent up the one common prayer
God be praised" You have had your regu.
lar report of the obseques and of the solemn
ceremonies pertaining thereto which took
place last Monday in which his Grace, Arch
bishop Ryan, took place. aud 1 will therefore
only mention incidentally a few things
which may not appear in a report of that
kind
If anything was lacking to prove how
deep the universal love for Father Duffy had
taken root in the hearts of the people. the
demonstrations of Sunday and Monday sup
piled it. 1t is estimated that nearly ten
thousand people passed by the catafalqua on
which his remains rested on Sunday evening
last for six hours and many of those were
present who belonged not to his congrega
tion or his faith, but, like your CORES
pondent they were people who had
learned to love him for his merits,
mad come to honor him for his great worth
as a man and a citizen, whilst respecting
his memory for the honesty and faithfulness
ne displayed in his religion and his every
walk of life. Father Duhy's work on earth
is done, and when you and / come to review
It, you must decide that it was well done
Apropos of the latter remark let me mention
that the new temple, which will always be
known as Father Duffy's church was per.
haps his greatest achievement. The build
ing is up and under roof and much of the
interior completed and what is more credit
able is the fact that through his energy and
indomitable win power, Rev. Duffy had paid
FOR everything connected with the structure
up TO date, barring perhaps few insignif-
cent items. And what is more to his credit,
he leaves to the church fund for the com.
pletion of the edifce life insurance Of ten
thousand dollars, Go into any Catholic
diocese in America that you please where
will you find a superior to the man who was
buried in the vault under one of the affairs
Of his ready-prepared monument on Monday ?
Surely his memory viii remain green in the
hearts of the people living in this parish as
long as life shall last. ReqGesca IN pace.

rHE COUNTY TREASURY LOOTED.

Speaking Of the criminal court reminds me
of the multiplicity of cases which are sent
there term after term for the single purpose
of getting costs. Shenandoah and vicinity
sends a little more than its share of su ch
cases. The charge which is most common is
that Of larceny, which being felony the
jury has no power over the costs. Most Of
these cases are based on trivial testimony
and the defendants being acquitted the
county is mulcted for the costs, the larger
part Of which goes TO the prosecutor aud CON
stable. That is simply a method Of lootng
the county treasury, directly aud indirectly
stealing from the taxpayers. II ID refreshing
TO learn that the attention of the court, the
District Attorney and other county Off sials
is being directed TO this growing evil and
that when the Legislature meets an effort
will be made 10 alter the law in this regard

Closed SATURDAYS at PM.

Yes, Mondays thermometer
of sales marked the highest Of
any August day since the store
opened, one Monday morning
in March, going on sixteen
years ago. There are reasons
for business creeping up and
up in this plain, old, un-
modern building, covering a
village OF busy people, with
miles of floor streets, gas and
water pipes, etc., etc., upon
plans evolved by one thinking
head and organized by one
firm hand.
These reasons are that neith-
err heat nor cold, dull times or
rushing times are permitted to
change the tenor of trade-the
service or supply of goods.
None must be disappointed at.
this store when they come
for certain goods, neither while
they are visiting the store nor
after they have lett and are
at home with their selections.
