voters by promise of future reward. The
party who caused the circulation of the re-
port at the same time stated that the effort
was an unsuccessful one, as the parties to
whom the proposition was made promptly
rejected it.
The alleged proposition was that if the
Poles and Lithuanian people of Shenandoah
should give the Democratic party their
support this fall they would be rewarded
next spring with at least three good borough
offices.
1t is more than likely that the whole story
is a fake and was started to make people
believe that the Poles and Lithuanians are
open to propositions to desert the standard
under which Biersten stands as a candidate.
A HERALD reporter to-day called upon
several prominent Poles and Lithuanians
who are very influential in local politics and
they declared the report hoax. One Of
them said with much spirit, 'You can say in
your paper that we are for Bierstien and the
whole Republican ticket This story is
uonsensi3al. If there was such meeting 1
! certainly would have heard of it, I know
nothing of such a meeting and do not believe
! one was held"
During the interviews the reporter found
that the sentiments of the Polish and Lithuan.
ian people are decidedly anti-Democratic,
They ridiculcd the alleged offer and asked
what iuducement the three borough offices
would be. eve are looking for a county
Office now" said one of them 'and will
look after borough matters later; but when
we do we will want something more than
wind to depend upon. We cannot count on
the Democrats Of this town. We have found
them traitors. They promised us policeman
last spring; did we get one2 We had young
/ lady as am applicant for school teacher before
the School Board last June and tho only
votes she received were from the Republican
members of the Board"
In another interview an influential and
very prominent man said "The idea is
ridiculous. Why, do you think people are so
blind as to make deal with these people
here when they are doing all in their power
to kill US in districts where our people have
no vote The report is no good. There's
nothing in it,
It is quite clear that the report is a hoax,
but it would not be surprising if it should be
discovered that an attempt had been made to
bring about a meeting such as reported, as
the Democratic party is badly scared. The
attempts viii not bear fruit, however, judg

Contrary to expectations, work on the
Lakeside electric railroad has not been
started. The public looked for it because the
newspapers told them to, and the newspapers
made the announcement by authority
of Capt J. F. Bailey. If the latter
hadn't sufficient information to make
him positive in the matter he should
not have made the statement. The people
get tired of these announcements and the
constant disappontments lead them to lose
confidence in the project Just when every
thing seems to be arranged satisfactorily the
unexpected occurs; something which should
have been attended to in the first place turns
up as among the forgotten, or neglected
things, and the building Of the road is put
off for another period; then the people begin
to "kick" about the distractions on the

The advertisement was so nicely and
frankly framed that at the time l concluded
that it held out a rare opportunity for some
man wishing horse with some speed, but
upon gIancing down the column l noticed
number Of advertisements differently worded,
but evidently inserted with the same object
in view and then l commenced to think and
tried to fix in my mind why man should be
willing to part with thoroughbred mare
with record of 227 for the paltry sum Of
500!
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1893-10-27


Finding myself to arrive at a satisfactory
conclusion l decided to consult a gentleman
in town who has had considerable experience
in horse dealings. "Why," said he as he
glanced over the advertisement l had clipped
from the newspaper this is merely a 'gyp'
scheme There are several men in town who
have learned by experience what such ad-
vertsemeuts mean. You see there are
various methods of excuses for the disposal Of
these supposed excellent horses, aud some of
them are excellent, but you never get them
at that figure. The trick is this You call
upon the advertiser and he treats you royalty;
takes you to the stable, shows you fine
horse and takes you for a drive behind it
through Fairmount Park You become
captivated and try to force the 500 into the
owners hand before you get back to the
stable, but he refuses the offer unless you
will also take the buggy harness. blankets
etc The horse is genuine and you want
him, hence you give in and ask the price of
the buggy, &c. The answer is any where
from Sl75 to $3.50. High you think, but then
you look at the fine horse you can get for
500, and yet you can't get it unless you also
purchase the buggy and etc Terms of
payment comes next. The seller is fair,
Give the cash for the buggy etc, and pay for
my trottcr when delivered Some times he
is still more generous and will say Iu ship
| the buggy, etc, at once. If you pay for them
ON delivery III ship the trotter later Either
offer is generally snapped up and tho pur-
chaser returns home bubbliug over with
| good spirits and chuckling with delight over
| the surprise he will give his townsmen when
the trotter arrives.
"Well the buggy, etc. finally arrives, is
paid for, and becomes your property; but the
horse fails to arrive and when you seek in
| formation you are informed that the dealer
is very sorry to be obliged to state that the
horse you built so much upon went lame and
and the dealer could not risk his reputation
| by selling horse that was not up to the re-
/ quirements of the advertisements Further
more, he informs you, the horse has been sent
to the kentucky farm and should it recover
/ you will be notified. And there you are !
| Right in it You have no 2.21 or 2.l5 trotter,
but you have buggy harness, blankets etc,
for which you paid $l15 or more and which
are really worth about 575 or 500. Do you
see the point?

French POliteness.

During the recent meeting of the
French and English ships at New York,
the following story, illustrative Of old
time marine manners, was related,
strangely enough, by a French officer:
An English admiral who was once Wis
iting I French flagship, laid :lown his
quid on convenient bullzhead before
entering the officers quarters. When
he came out again, lie was astonished
to find the Quid in the place where he
had left it.
''Pooh!" said he, in the hearing of
some of the sailors, you Frenchmen
will never be true sea-dogs. No English
blue-jacl>et.. now, would ever have let
an admirars Q'lid alone"
Whereupon one Of the French sailors
stepped up. touched his cap, and said:
beg pardon. admiral; was chewing
your Quid while you We're in there, but
I put it back, you know, when I heard
you coming out!' g.s~:-

Bangkok is in many respects most
interesting city. It has, according to
certain authorities, 100000 floating
dwellings or shops, with a population
Of 100000. The French say this is d
gross aggregation, giving it a population
OF. only 100000. The situation Of Bang
kok is decidedly picturesque. It lies
on either, side of the Menam river,
about thirty miles from its mouth.
The streets are quite broad, but there
are very few Of them The canals
are numerous, running in every direc-
ton. The houses are built so as to
project over the canals and all have
open fronts Of balconies. Both sides
OF the river for five or six miles are
lined with floating houses. The houses

lnyaslons of cholera, 4 late king gave
the order to build on the river itself.
Ihe privilege of building on the banks
is confined to members of the royal
family, nobility and residents of polit-
ical and commercial influence.

day but you can see some one in SWIM

The streets are few rs compared with
the number of canals. The most inter-
estlng one RUNS parallel with the grand
palace and terminates in what is now
known as the new road running from
Bangkok to Paknam and crossing the
canals on movable iron bridges. Every
other house along the road is a shop
and at the close Of the wet season
the markets are filed with vegeta ables
and fruits.
The inhabitants are mild patient
and submissive to the authority, but
are lazy and idle. Any business re-
curing industry or exertion is carried
on by the Chinese. The Siamese are
very fond of amusements of all Kinds.
They are all inveterate gamblers, the
gambling houses being always full. A

Plucky BOy.

Jimmy Boivin, a. ten-year-old. lad,
living in Western Canada, was leading
a horse to put into hayrake when the
animal became unmanageable, knocked
him down, and broke his leg in two
places, between the hip and the knee.
The accident happened out on the prai-
RE many miles from home.
Notwithstanding the agony he must
have endured, the boy crawled a. con-
siderable distance to- where he hoped
to find some of the haymakers; but
they had gone farther away.
He lay down exhausted, hoping for
some one to come. How many hours
he lay there is not known. Night was
at length coming, on, and he feared he
should die if left much longer without
help. IT, - T..

not far Off Jimmy's untasted luncheon

1t was talked over at the meetings for
months prior to awarding the commits
sion. Mr.. Partridge the sculptor, was
consulted. He selected the important
event in the history of Hamilton which
the statue represents and then. made a
plaster cast of the subject. The con-
tract provided that the statue was to
cost $4,000, and was to be completed
in eighteen months. Mr.. Partridge went
to Paris immediately after the contract
was closed and entered into negotiations
with well known firm for the cast
The first time set for the unveiling of
the statue was June 1, and, as it did not

Restoration Of the Building Where

The restoration now in progress at
Stratford-upon-Avon Of course reopens
for the hundredth time at least the
controversy over what has been
named the impersonality Of Shakes
peare. We do, indeed, know but little
about the man, but one fact is abso-
lutely certain - the boy William
Sh-k-sp-r- (the reader can put in vowels
to suit whatever theory he has adopt
ed) did beyond a doubt attend the IA
nous grammar school which the
towns great benefactor, Charles E.
Flowers, is at his own cost restoring
to the exact condition in which it was
when that. boy attended it, .s g.
4 Its history is very curious. There
was on the spot, or near by, a monas-
tic institution, the society Of which in
due time became a guild OF close trade
union of the old sort Hence the guild
hall, which Mr.. Flowers is also re-
storing to it's original condition. Out
OF the same mOnastic order grew the
local school system, and in the old hall
no doubt the boy William often saw
the strolling players who performed
there, and the players and musicians
maintained by the earl of Warwick.
Many other men afterWard eminent in
church or state literature received their
