Dominic F. Sweeney, the secretary
and treasurer Of the Plain Speaker Pub
fishing Company, died at his residence
in Hazleton on Friday, aged So years
and months. He has been suffering
for the past three years, and the end did
not come unexpectedly. Mr.. Sweeney
was native of the city in which he died,
He was educated in the public schools
there, and afterwards spent some time
at Georgetown, d. c., university and
West Point. After leaving the latter
place he taught school at Ebervale, and
in 1882 entered the newspaper business
as manager Of the Speaker.
He did not remain long in the position
as he was offered more lucrative one
as salesman for the Hazleton Casket
Company, which he accepted. In 1887
he returned to the Speaker, becoming
the partner of the publisher, John Der
sheck. At the death of the latter he
took control of the paper with j. L. Nor
ris, of Pittston, and to his hard work is
due the success which it attained within
the next few years. In 1891 stock
company was organized, of which he
was elected secretary and treasurer.
Mr.. Sweeney was recognized as one of
Hazleton's foremost citizens, and was
an indefatigable worker for its advance
ment. The funeral took place this
morning, the remains being inferred at
st. GabriePs cemetery.

Patrick O'Donnell attended to business

Mary Ann takes pleasure in answer
ing Bobby's special correspondence
which appeared in last Mondays issue.
Bobby says we advised him to bring his
mothers shawl along the next time.
Now before proceeding further we will
give Bobby bit of advice that might be
of benefit to him when he makes another
attempt to correct anything he sees in
print. Bobby, always quote another $
statement truthfully. If you can't see
straight borrow a pair of specks and
read the little item that ratified you
again. You will find it says, TASK your
mother for the loan of her shawl" then
let us know where you found anything
about giving you advice in the first note.
You request Mary Ann to keep silent
tongue. Allow us to politely tell you
that she has always done so and needs
no instructions on that point, especially
from you. If you mean to keep a silent
pen, Bobby, we must refuse your re-
quest. That will not be done, even for
your sake.
We see you claim to have come to the
use of reason. Perhaps that is true, so
we won't dispute it, but everybody is
not of the same opinion about it. When
you get on your dignity over an innocent
little item that did no more harm than
to cause its readers to smile, and then
make it appear as if you were slandered,
it is no wonder that the rest of the COM
munity has doubts of your reasoning
powers.
Bobby, if the town had many more
like you, newspaper correspondents
would have a poor life of it in getting up
letter for their papers. But Mary Ann
knows too well that there are only few
like you. Most people can give and take
joke, so we won't be scared by your
answers.
The readers of Mary AIMS letters
know that man, woman or child have
never been sighted or insulted by our
writings, and we are responsible to the
editor of this paper for any items we
send him to print. We do not write tc
cause any bad feelings among any per.
sons, and we do not want you to try and
make the people believe that we do.
Outside of our correspondence work we
always mind our own business, and
when any one interferes in our affairs
we can give them what they deserve.
We will be on deck with Our letter az
usual and will not finch an inch, but
Bobby for the future don't meddle
with MARY ANN.

EDITORS AND NEWSPAPERS.

In order to keep up with progressive
newspapers, Euitor Fowler, of the Pro-
gress, has equipped his Office with steam
power.
The Wilkes-Barre Leader has added
to its plant perfecting press capable of
whirling out 1900 copies per hour. 1t
intends to prove the right to its name.
Philadelphia papers make their coun-
try readers tired with their gush on the
trolley" If other cities and towns
were as long deciding about allowing
electric cars on their streets there would
be but few roads in operation. Phila-
delphia is notoriously slow, and its
newspapers need not advertise the fact.
Regardless of the sledge hammer blows
we have been dealing out, the FREELAND
TRIBUNE comes to us regularly twice a
week, one of the best and most perfect
edited local papers north of us. This is
just the kind Of newspaper we like to
read. One that hasn't courage to stand
up and say, "I'll be with you," shouldn't
be recognized by the craft. Luck to
you, Brother Buckley. - CooperSbvg SEN

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington D. c., April IA.
President Cleveland has notified sem
ate committee that he will send the last
nominations upon which he wishes i'm
mediate action to the senate in few
days, and adjournment is looked for
next week, unless things,take an unex-
pected turn. 1t will not be possible to
reach a vote upon the cases of the ap-
pointed senators at this session.
The position of assistant trearurer of
the United States at New York, is one
of the most important, from strictly
commercial point of view, under the
government, He handles more money
than any man in the country and has to
give bond Of 100000, something that
comparatively few men can do The
nomination Of Conrad n. Jordan, of New
York, who was United States treasurer
during Mr.. Cleveland's first administra-
ton, to this position gave general salts
faction, both in political and business
circles.
The investigation of the weather
bureau has so far been confined to the
charges against employees of stealing
from the bureau, which have been more
than proven by the evidence. The next
charge to be taken up will be that of
violating the civil service law by employ
ing incompetent men at fancy salaries
and promoting others for no better
reason than that they were favorites of
some high official or his friends.
The opposition to the confirmation of
Mr.. Eckles to be comptroller of currency
was evidently confined to Republican
newspapers. 1t did not materialize in
the senate, as he was promptly confirm
this week, as he would have been last
week if somebody had not started silly
story about his nomination being the
result of clerical error.
Secretary Morton smiles at the criticism
fired at him because he abolished the
sinecure held by the late Mr.. Blaine's
brother, 81 found" said the secretary,
that Mr.. Blaine was drawing $1,000 a
year for doing nothing, or at least
nothing that was of the slightest value
to the government, and he would have
had to go all the same even if he had
been Mr.. Cleveland's brother. That's
all there is to it."
Secretary Herbert is heels over head
in the making of preparations for the
big naval review to begin in Hampton
Roads next week. The secretary will,
during the review, be quartered upon
U. S. vessel, in order that he may enjoy
seeing the shine taken off the foreign
warships. The president will not 90 to
Hampton Roads, but will meet the yes
sells in New York.
The dismissal of Republican chiefs of
divisions in the departments are becom-
ing quite frequent, and to hear some of
them kick is very amusing Every man
of them thinks they ought to have been
kept in office. Fortunately the heads of
the departments differ with them. S.
