The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1894-07-17

The newest profession introduced for
women who are poor, educated and well
hammered, according to the New York
Tribune, is that Of "denticure" This is
an English discovery. The "denticuristn
takes care OF the fair clients teeth, giving
them the skilfu cleansing with dental in
struments which is usually done by the
dentist, and which must occasionally sup
plement the personal attention received
daily from the owners own brush, denti-
frice and floss. In fact, this new employ.
ment provides for the teeth the careful
ministrations now furnished for the
hands by an army OF manicures; and as it
requires special study, much intelligence
and skill, and a good deal of personal re.
iinement, it offers an opportunity to those
of more ability than that possessed by the
average manicure.

| ought not to prolong this letter.
If what have written is unwelcome,
| beg you to believe in my good
intentions.
IN the conclusions of the confer
ence touching the numerous items
which will be considered the people
are not afraid tina: their interests
will be neglected. They know that
the general result, so far as they
are concerned, will be to place home
necessaries and comforts more
easily within their reach and to in
sure better and surer compensation
to those who toll.
We all know that a tariff law
covering all the interests and con-
ditions of country as vast as ours
must of necessity be largely the re.
suit of honorable adjustment and
compromise.
| expect very few of us can say,
when our measure is perfected, that
all its features are entirely as we
would prefer. You know how much
l deprecated the incorporation in
the proposed bill of the income tax
feature. In matters of this kind,
however, which do violate a fixed
and recognized Democratic doctrine,
we are willing to defer to the iudg-
ment of a majority of our Demo.
cratic brethren. l think there is a
general agreement that it is party
duty. This is more palpably ap-
parent when We realize that the
business of our country timidly
stands and watches for the result of
our efforts to perfect tariff legislation;
that a quick and certain return of
prosperity waits upon a wise ad-
iustment and that confident peo-
pie still trust in our hands their
prosperity and well being.
The Democracy of the land pleads
most earnestly for the speedy COM
pletion of the tariff legislation which
their representatives have under
taken; but they demand no less
earnestly that no stress of necessity
shall tempt those they trust to the
abandonment of Democratic prin-
pies. Yours very truly,

TO COIN SILVER DOLLARS.
Orders Issued to The Minis by The
Treasury Department.
MOST PERFECT MADE.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 19.-
Mr.. Preston, the Director of the
Mint, to-day, by direction of the
Secretary of the Treasury, issued
orders to mint authorities at San
Francisco and New Orleans to begin
at once the coinage of silver dollars,
and during the present month to
coin up to the ordinary capacities of
the mints. The silver to be first
coined will be blanks and ingots, of
which there is sufficient to coin ST.
800, 900 at these two mints, and at
Philadelphia. As soon as this sup.
ply is exhausted work will probably
begin on the silver bars, of which
there is years supply at San
Francisco and New Orleans and
probably five years supply at Phil
adelphia. So far as can be learned,
it is not the purpose of the Govern
ment to extend the coinage of the
seigniorage beyond a few mints,
but, it is stated, that after coming
what gold may be necessary and
recoining the atraded fractional
silver, each of the three mints prob
ably will be worked at their normal
capacity on silver dollars for the
next several months at least, and
presumably to the end of the pres
ent calendar year. Whether Treas
ury notes will be retired as fast as
received for silver so far as known
has not been determined.

The Ledger Stands Corrected.

To the Editor OF the Ledger.
TRuxToN, Mo-, July 15.-Dear
Sir: | see statement in your paper
that Harry Pennington was sired by
Aaron Pennington. This is incorrect.
He was sired by a son of Aaron
Pennington. He was foaled in 1884,
and raised by Mr.. Waters. | bought
him from Mr.. Waters in the autumn
of 1888, and traded him to S. ?.
Miller, Kirksville, Mo. lin the spring
of 1891. He could then go in 2 80.
Mr.. Waters told me his dam was
sired by Golddust stallion, and an
other man told me he was sired by
Harry Golddust, Of Mexico. He was
certainly sired by a son of Aaron
Pennington and not by the old
horse. II. G. NIEHAUs.

Death OF Major Day.

Major Thomas E. Day, one of
Mexico's well known citizens, died
Thursday between 3 and 4 O'Clock
at the residence of his son, Chas. H.
Day, on West jackson street. Major
Day had been troubled with his
heart for several years, but within
the last six months it had begun to
gradually fail him, and it was an
organic trouble of the heart that
caused his death. Major Day was
one of this city's most respected
citizens, an honest man and a good
Christian. Mexico has lost a noble
citizen from it's midst.
Deceased was born in Frederick
county, Maryland, March 26, 1882,
where he spent the years Of his
youth. Afterwards he married Miss
Maggie E. Shook at Cumberland,
Maryland, December 21, 1854, where
they made their home. Mrs. Day
died February 90, 1859, leaving two
sons, Thomas and Charles H., both
known in this city to day as steady
gentlemen, who reside in Desoto,
Mo-, and Mexico respectively.
The deceased at the beginning of
the Civil War enlisted in the Second
Virginia Volunteer Infantry which,
after disbanding. formed the Fifth
w. Va. Cavalry, in which he sue
cessively served as Lieutenant,
Captain and Major. He resided in
Harrisville, w. Va, after the close
of the war, and later moved to Mex
leo in 1867, and has lived here ever
since. He was 62 years of age.
He was a member of Frank Blair
Post G. A. R. No. 1, of st. Louis, a
member of the Masonic fraternity, a
knight Templar, a member of the
A. @. L. w. and of the I. 0. o. F.
orders. Major Day was prominent
Republican in this district and had
d great amount of influence in his
party in the state.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1894-07-26

IL the death of Maj. Thos. f. Day
Mexico loses an important citizen
and a man we'll known throughout
the State. Maj. Day was interested
largely in the noble work of secret
societies. He belonged to all branches
of the Masonic order, was an Odd
Fellow, an 4. O. L. w. and an
honored member of Frank Blair
Fost, G. A. R., of st. Louis. By
these societies more especially will
he be missed, as he devoted large
ly of his time and means in their
behalf. He was an intelligent, we'll
read man and information once had
he always retained in memory. Calm,
quiet, unostentatious, charitable to
fault, he had the respect of his
fellow man. He was brave soldier
and served his country we'll. All
honor his memory for good deeds
done in the flesh.

CENrRALIA, Mo-, July 1S.-Mrs.

south of here, to-day was out in the
field with her two little boys cutting
oats with reaper. While resting
the horses she stood in front of the
machine, and when ready to start
struck one of the horses with q

tance. One of her feet was cut off

Last June, Dick Crawford brought
his twelve months old child, suffering
from infantile diarrhoea, to me. 1t
had been weaned at four months old
and being sickly everything ran
through it like water through sieve.
l gave it the usual treatment in such
cases without benefit. The child kept
growing thinner until it weighed but
little more than when born, or per-
haps ten pounds. I then started the
father to giving Chamberlain's c Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Be-
fore one bottle of the 25 cent size had
been used, marked improv ement
was seen and its continued use cured
the child. Its weakness and puny
constitution disappeared and its fa-
ther and myself believe the child's
life was saved by this Remedy. J. T.

that the revenue from private

FEDERAL TROOPS ORDERED BACK
TO THEIR POSTS AND CAMP
HAS BEEN BROKEN.
The Direction For The Withdrawal
Game From The War Department
Last EYening-Debs Still
Behind The Bars.

CHICAGO, July 1S.-At s o'clock
tonight General Miles appended his
signature to the general order re-
moving Federal troops from Chi
cago
The infantry will take trains for
their respective posts, while the
cavalry and artillery will march to
Fort Sheridan and remain there un-
til such time as General Miles thinks
best that they be sent to their posts.
The order for breaking camp
came from the War Department
this evening, after General Miles
had informed the department that
he thought the situation had so far
improved that it was perfectly safe
to Withdraw them from the city.
The cavalry and artillery will
break camp after breakfast, and it is
thought they will be on the march
to Fort Sheridan by noon and camp
at Evanston at night. The troops
from the East will return TO their
old stations.
DEBS STILL IN JAIL.
Debs and his associates are still
in Jail, and the railroads continue
to do business despite the fact that
the ''strike is still on"
The Federal authorities, with
Edwin Walkers assistance, are not
yet satisfied with what they have
done to Mr.. Debs, and are pursuing
him and his associates at every
point. The Federal Grand Jury adj
journed this evening without re-
turning any indictments, but Dis
trict Attorney Milchrist said that a
number of indictments will be pre-
sented in court to morrow morning.
Among them may be additional
indictments against Debs and the
other leaders of the American Rail-
way Union. The indictment upon
which they were arrested was for
conspiracy TO obstruct the mails and
it said nothing about interference
with interstate commerce Or melting
insurrection against the Govern
ment.
Since then the Grand Jury has
heard a great deal of evidence
against the four leaders of the
strike, and there was a rumor about
the Government Building this after |
noon that several additional indict-
ments have been found. Mr.. Mil
christ would neither deny nor ad-
NIT that the leaders are to be in
dicted again tomorrow, but it is
believed they will be. He said that |
if anything more is presented in
court against them the court will
fix bail under the new indictment,
but, in deciding upon the amount,
will probably take into considera.
ton the fact that they are already |
under bail.

Officially Recognized,

Editorial IN St. Louis Republic.
Mr.. Cleveland's letter to Chair
man Wilson has a virtue which, we
fear, will not flash upon some of the
Presidents most pretentious admir-
ers until they have enthusiastically
indorsed its every word.
We allude to something of i'm
portance to the mugwumps. 1t is
within bounds to say that no such
official recognition of the substantial
presence of party government ex-
lists anywhere in the annals of the
country.
When a President addresses what
cannot by the subtlest casuistry be
described as anything but a formal
and official communication to the
leader of his party on the floor of the
House, the mugwump is a purblind
idoit if he does not see the gull
between him and the instinct of his
race.
Mr.. Cleveland has before conced.
ed the impractieability of a nom
partisan civil service.
He has, we cannot say whether
without or with consciousness of his
progress, now reached in his letter
to Mr.. Wilson a point considerably
beyond the doctrine of most ar.
dent partisans. They would un.
hesitatingly participate in the prac.
tIce OF party unity. Not many would
openly avow that the Chief Execu-
tive should establish official and
openly official relations with party
leaders as such.
We congratulate Mr.. Cleveland
on his progress. Free government
is a mere bauble except when con-
Quoted by parties.
Mugwumps have caught this
week the most conspicuous reproof
that has ever been administered.
