A Lesson For Young Men.

Young men of every sort have
striking lesson presented to them in
the obituary of Charles II. Reed.
1t ia true that there are few who
possess the talents that made him
remarkable, but there are many
who are like him in other respects.
Twenty years ago Charley Reed
was the most promising young man
in Chicago. OF noteble personal
appearance, unusual charm of man
ner, and extraordinary talents, he
shone in society as in his profession.
The world was his OYSTER and he
had but TO open it with the instru-
ment in his hand.
The other day there died in
Baltimore pauper, diseased in
mind and worn out in body His
name was Charley Reed He was
the same Charley Reed who for
twelve years was States Attorney
in Chicago.
What destroyed this mau2 What
hidden impulse forced him down
from the delightful eminenoe on
which he stood when life opened
before him and drove him into the
slough in which he SO miserably
persisted? One who is satisfied not
To penetrate into the core and center
of things would answer whisky
But 1t was not whisky that was
Charley Reeds destroyer. He was
drinker of whisky and consumed
large quantities Of it, but it was
not whisky that ruined him.
Here is the secret of his life and
death, with all their distress aud
misery. Here is the key to the
riddle.
He was never in earnest.--Jour-

ABOUT the sd Of last October,
Chris Peterson Holman, a farmer
near Edmund, lost his pocket-book
containing $lI0 in money, aud
though long and diligent seach was
made it could not be traced or
found. He was at the village that
day and had the money with him,
but could not find it after he left
town. About two weeks ago while
removing oats from large bin on
his farm he found the pocketbook
in the oats with all It's contents
intact. Then he remembered that
on the evening Of the day it was
lost, when he returned home he
tooks oats from this bin TO feed his
horses, and the book must then have
slipped from the inner pocket of
his vest, and the oats slid down aud
covered it, and ever since then AZ
he removed oats the bulk above
continued 10 hide it deeper

The latest fad in social gatherings
is one termed "poverty parties" So
far as known, none have yet taken
place in Mineral Point, but the
craze will probably take hold here
before long. No lady or gentleman
is allowed to attend one of these
parties if dressed in other than
cheap aud shabbily appearing
clothes; all jewelry, etc, except
what might be purchased at a or
10 cent counter, must be discarded;
refreshments of the simple and
cheap order, to be served on bare
table, from tin and earthen dish es,
eaten with pewter spoons, iron
knives and forks, etc. It's originators
had only variety and amusement in
view, yet it is possible that some
who happen to participate in such
gathering, may be overtaken by
genuine sympathetic and generous
spirit, and proceed to administer to
the real poor and deserving.
A MINISTER in a neighboring city
who has been annoyed greatly by

spoke thus to his congregation:
"Take your quid of tobacco out of

the fence. It will positively be
there when you 90 out, for a rat
won't take it, cat won't take it,

Mills TO Run Single Turn ON Ac-
count of Election.

PITTsBURG, Nov. 14-The en-
ployees off. Painter & Sons mill
were informed that commencing
with to-day the mill would run
single turn instead Of three turns
as has been the custom for many
years. 1t was great surprise to
the men.
L. L. Harper, Superintendent,
when asked the cause for the change,
SAID: "The result of last Tuesday IS
election and for the want of orders. !"
When questioned further, MIR.
Harper said: "We have q fairly
good stock of iron on hand and we
don't want to manufacture any more
material than we can dispose of.
"If the Democratic party lives up
to it's platformthey will take the
tariff off raw material and if they do
it is going to affect this country and
especially this county seriously.
Some of the Democrats are already
clamering for an extra session of
Congress next March. If the ses-
sion is called it will be hard to tell
what will be done.
"It seems to me that the working
man of this country had a wrong
impression of the tariff. Since q
duty was put on raw material it has
resulted in making the manufactur-
ers competitors, and as result of
this the products we manufacture
are lower then they ever have been.
AS a result of this competition the
manufacturer is making but little
profit these days. We pay $3.50 a
ton to have our iron rolled and the
roller can turn out about ten tons a
day. OF course he hae his helpers
to pay and after these are paid he
has profit of 81 TO % a day. How
ever, in England they pay just so
per cent, less for their iron than we
do. "lf the tariff is taken off raw
material we could not compete with
England and Of course the result is
apparent. OF late we have been
getting our ore from the lakes.
Should the tariff be taken of ore it
will not only affect us here in West.
ern Pennsylvania, but it will throw
hundreds Of men out OF employ
ment in that region.

La face Of such declarations as
these it is imperative that the friends
and supporters of American industry
should he fearless, earnest and out
spoken in asserting the rights of
American labor and opposing and
exposing the schemes Of its enemies.
The Rress will do that duty thor

1t will keep search light turned

Drinking Among Public Men.


The St. Louis Globe Democrat
reports a Missouri Congressman as
saying, There has been wonder
full revolution in the sentiment of
this country the last decade with
regard to liquor drinking" This
Congressman adds
1t is especially noticeable IN the
rural districts, whence are recruited
the ranks OF the city populations.
a man who runs for Office now
dosen't do so with Jug under QUE
arm. The voters are beginning to
watch closely the habits Of their
candidates, and If they are known
as drinking men there is some very
lively scratching done on election
day. OF course it is little differ
ent i'll the cities, but apprehend
that urban voters are also tending
towards sentiment of abstemious-
ness in their officials.
The desecration of the Sabbath is
becoming unpopular too, and no.
where else in the country is this
more evident than at Washington.
The saloons are closed at IL O'Clock
on Saturday night in Washington.
and remain closed until Monday !.
There is no side-door attachment,
either. 1t is an absolute impossible
ty to buy a drink at the capital on
Sunday unless q man is staying at a
hotel, and then he must have it
taken to his room. I don't pretend
to know what has wrought this
marked change in public sentiment
1t may be the temperance folks and
it may not be. Congress is being
literally flooded with temperance
petitions and miles of paper
iull OF names find their way
to the House every week, asking
that the Worlds Fair be closed on
Sunday. I take it that these things
are straws showing the direction of
the wind.
We venture to express the opin-
ion that the Temperance folks"
have had very much to do with
bringing about the better state OF
things upon which the Missouri
Congressman comments. Though
much has been dore, much more re-
mains to be accomplished, to usher
in the era of total abstinence and
complete sobriety on the part of our
public men.

VIII Not Build The Addition.

MT. HOLLY, Nov. IA. ISPEcrAL1.
The result Of the Democratic
victory is being felt in Burlington
County already. To-day was the
time set for the erection Of Q 140,-
600 addition to the large phosphorus
works at Ceutreton. 1t was pro-
posed to add large force of work
men to those already employed. hut
the uncertainty of tie tariff has
caused an abandon ment OF the ad-
dition, and instead of the building
going up the stakes were drawn and
some thirty men will have to look
out for employment elsewhere.

From the Harrisburg Patriot Dem.).
Governor Pattisor, Attorney
General Hensel and Secretary Har-
rity are all understood to be appli-
cants for Cabinet positions. 1t is
stated that both the Attorney Gen.
eral and Secretary of State are
agreed that it would be mistake
for the Governor to turn the office
over to the Republicans and they
have assured him that he would be
the Presidential nominee in 1896 il
he would now decline to apply to
Mr.. Cleveland for any position
Mr.. Hensel thinks it would be some,
what indelicate for Mr.. Harrity,
who is now both Secretary of State
and chairman of the National Com.
mittee, to ask for any more favors,
while friends of Mr.. Harrity thought
fully informed friends OF Mr.. Cleve-
land that the $l9,5OO Shauely fee
scandal, not to mention the "Read-
ing combine" would be perpetual
barrier to giving MIR. Hensel further
advancement. At the same time
the Governor has the feeling that as
he has been dwarfed by these gentle
men for two years he would like To
get out of the Governorship and
away from them just to see how
much they have left him of the man
who went into the executive mansion
in 1891.
