A glad good bye to yoo, gray Old Year.
For you brought us trouble and pain,
And when you are gone we hope to see
The like OF you never again.
Your lists OF promises when yoa came
We're as fair as fair could be,
But alas, they are now with McGinty's clothes
At the bottom OF the sea.
You came in with flourish OF shout and bell,
And promise Of every good
But the loudest echoes sounding now
Are Of cries for fuel and food.
You stopped the wheels of the busy loom,
And spiked the guns OF trade;
And q thousand men stand gazing now
On an idle pick and spade.
You've played the mischief from shore TO shor
With your tariff aud Wilson bills,
Your frauds and miscounts and failures too,
And o host OF minor Ills.
You've thrashed and lashed US with wind AM
wave,
And stranded our vessels high,
But we bid you defiance nov, Old Year,
Determined to conquer or die
,Tis well you are going, gray Old Year,
And when we have closed the door,
Wen pray for prosperity, plenty and peace
with the advent Of Ninety four.
Dec. so, 'eS. Aisle.

PAY WHAT THOU OWEsT. -
The suggestion that all men who owe and
can get the money to pay with take special
pains to pay their January bills promptly
is going the rounds, and 1t Is . good one.
The butcher, the baker and the candlestick
maker all need the money due them. If
they can get 1t they will pay their credit
ors. Their creditors will turn 1t over to
those whom they owe, and SO on, and there
will be seen on large scale an illustration
Of how many debts can be abolished with
money quickly transferred from one to an
other.
In such q time as this he who pays
promptly pays twice, or more. Don't
wait to be dunned II you can help It. Go
to those whom you owe and cheerfully fork
over the pay for what you have had. tits
never right to economic in debt-psying,
and 1t is especially wrong to do 1t In times
like these. If everybody who can win
during the next week gaily walk up to the
captains Office and settle there will be q
much better feeling In New Haven than
there Is. Hope will make special spring,
faith In human nature will revive,
politeness will flourish and there will be
general consciousness of we'll doing.

ANOTHER CHANCE TO BE SAVED

Bourin Yatsubuchi, the Buddhist priest
Of Kamakurs, aud Shaku Soyen, the great
scholar and the most talented Buddhist
priest in Kinshiu, are, by the favor and
protection of Buddhs, at home again after
their visit to this country, and especially
to Chicago. What we call missionary
meeting has been held to give them
chance to report how thsy found us
heather and what the prospect Is for saw
ing as according to Buddhism. It is in
teresting to know that they feel encour-
aged. At first they were vsry doubtful
about us. When they received the in
vitations of the Worlds fair authorities
to attend the religious parliament they
believed that 1t was shrewd scheme of
the Christians to entice them to the west
ern world either for the. purpose of con-
verting them or to turn them and their
religion into ridiculs. Acting under this
idea they determined to visit Chicago, but
merely as individuals, not in a
priestly representative character. They
are glad they went, for when they got
there they could plainly see that the
parliament was called because the western
nations have come to realize the weakness
and folly of Christianity and they really

Electric Railroads.

From present indications it would
look as though the electric roads
throughout Central Pennsylvania are
to be controlled by one mammoth
syndicate. A special Pullman car con-
tanning a party of distinguished Phila-
delphlans came up as far as Shame
kin, viewing the premises. On board
was Secretary of State, William +.
Harrity. J. ]. Sullivan, President of
the Frankford Railway Company w.
b. Gill, Manager of the Bell Tele-
phone Company; J. o. Klein, P. &

ham, of the Philadelphia Ledger :.

A GIGANTIC SCHEME.
A reporter boarded the car and was
cordially received. He was told that
the party was returning home from
a visit over the lines Of the Schuylkill
Traction Company. The road passed
into their hands several days ago.
They had purchased the road consisting
of twenty-three miles, and intended to
unite Mahanoy City and Shenandoah
at once. The line will also be extend.
ed from Locust Dale to Mt. Carmel
and Shamokin. Among the first i'm.
provements contemplated is the build
ing of railway between Ashland and
Centralia. Eventually the syndicate
will own through line from Philadel-
phia to Erie, running into Pottsville
and then traversing the Schuylkill val.
ley to Tamaqua and from thence west.
ward to the Schuylkill Traction lines.
The capital stock is one million dol
lars and bonds to the amount of $780,
900 will be issued at once, with a re.
serve fund of $a5o, 900. Mr.. Harrity
is specially desirous to sell the stock
to the people living along the lines, as
in that way the road would have the
and cooperation Of the pub
lie. Shamokin capitalists have been
granted incorporation papers to build
a line from Shamokin to Danvile.
One of the greatest moves will be to
unite Pottsville with Minersville, Ire
mont and towns and villages as far
west as I.ykens. There is power
behind the throne in all this which the
careful observer readily perceives.

not but view the going out permanently

grave apprehension. Such step

clared that he did so as a Republican
To step clean over into the official
ranks of the opposition would mean
vastly more. But the Republican
party will make nothing through treat
ing this matter cavalierly or in a spirit
of ugliness. Throwing stones or mud
at such man as Judge Gresham will
not pay. The one will not stick, the
others will fall harmless at his feet.
There must be higher policy than
this, more manly and patriotic
recognition of the facts of the
