FREELAND, PA, MAY 10, 1894.

When the Mckinley bill was pass
ed its schedules We're arranged by
the protected interests according to
their notions Of what was the limit of
popular endurance. The Wilson bill
is manipulated by bevy of protec-
zionist Democratic senators, who go
as far as they dare in reconstructing
its schedules against the interest of
consumers without making the bill so
outrageous that no change would be
preferable to the changes proposed
The fact has been developed that
there is no real Democratic majority
in the senate.-Phjla RecorG

Ex-State Senator Morgan b. Williams,
of Wilkes Barre, is doing his best to
shove aside John Leisenring in the con-
gressional race in Luzerne county. The
Democrats, however, do not propose to
allow any Republican to represent the
twelfth district in the next congress-
Phija. Record.
The Democrats of this district
would, if given an opportunity, allow
none but Democrat to be elected to
congress, but the nominee already
picked out for them by the party
bosses is not Democrat in anything
but name, consequently it is no fault
OF theirs if John Leisenring or any
other Republican is sent to represent
the district. The present incumbent
is slated for denomination, and since
he has disgraced his party and his
district in congress it is going too fal
to ask the Democrats of Luzerne t.
disgrace themselves by giving hin
another election.

end of the eighteenth century colored
fashion plates and illustrated almanacs
made their appearance. Great ladies
used to send these dolls to their friends
at distance, and, as the costumes

exactly to the right shape and in the
latest style, with due regard to de-
tails of materials and trimmings, the
dressmakers had only to enlarge the
measurements of them.

Modern Educational Methods.

The difference in principle between
the old and the new educational meth
ods is this At the present time, if the
scholar is not induced to study by the
attractive methods by which learning
is now impaired, if the arts of moral
suasion do not overcome juvenile indo-
lence and obstinacy, the scholar goes
into the world with no knowledge
or discipline of mind, but with conceit
In the partial education he has re-
ceived which will prevent him from
learning anything more. In the old
time, writes Hon. William Pope Dab
ney in Blue and Gray it was differ
ent There was no royal road to
knowledge. The master had been
paid to teach, and whether the bright,
ambitious boy could rapidly ascend
the mount of science or whether the
Ounce came slowly on, impeded by the
thorns along the path, the teacher saw
to it that both should learn. The bird
that can sing must be made to sing;
the Ounce was classed with the smart
boy, and by his pulling in front and
the master driving up the rear, the
Ounce was forced to learn. There are
now all over the country men who
were ounces at school, and by coercion
they have attained the heights of
lofty education. If they learned moth
ing else at the old-feld school, they at
least learned to study.

"Bowery Flower company, in which
he had played the heavy villain, having
stranded in Oshkosh, where they were

get back to New York as best they
could. Temple had come in on his up

rate actors boarding house until he
struck another engagement How he
obtained money to pay his board was
something of a mystery, but it was no
ticed that he had become very friendly
with Coots, the two being together a

pect the truth, and, one day, she ac-

How Ladies Obtained the Styles In the

Long before ladies' newspapers were
started and fashion plates in their mod

rived their knowledge of the fashions
from dolls dressed in model costumes,
which were sent from one country to
another, most especially from Paris,
which then as now was the leading
center of the mode. This custom of
exchanging fashion dolls commenced
early in the fifteenth century, and pre-
rallied for more than one hundred

she hated the insipid fops, for he had

was delayed, and he was close behind

lie was always thinking of her. He
saw her fresh oval face in the blue-gray
rings of his cigarette smoke; the smell
of roses was like the perfume of her
breath; her eyes looked at him from
the pansies on every corner flower

was one of the band of wood nymphs
who came out in pink and white to
strew flowers for the feet of the prima
donna to crush. She should have been
a prima donna herself; he had heard
her sing, and he knew. Wait till his

BRAVE ENGINEER LLOYD.


His Presence Of Mind and HereIsm saved
Forty-six Lfves.
WHKEspARRn, Pa, Dec 17.--Ths pres
snce Of mind Of Thomas Lloyd, the engi-
neer OF the Stevens oolliery, at West Pitts-
ton, saved the lives Of forty-six miners yes
terday. The engine house, . small frame
structure, caught fire, and as the interior
was dry and saturated with oil tho flames
rapidly spread. The only person In the
building at the time was Lloyd. He first
attempted to extinguish the blaze with o
few buckets Of water, but In less than five
minutes the flames had communicated TO
the fan house. The destruction of this
building meant the shutting of of the air
current which would have been fatal to
the forty-six miners who were ut work in
the mine, 500 feet below.
Without losing an instant's time Lloyd
ran TO the telephone and told the foreman
at the bottom Of the shaft to hurry through
the mine and give the alarm to the men
Notwithstanding the foreman's haste IL
was more than twenty minutes before ali
the men could be gathered together at tho
bottom Of the shaft preparatory to being
hauled to the surface In the meantime
the engine house was completely envel-
oped by fire, The flames surrounded the
engineer, but he bravely stood at his post,
waiting for the signal to hoist tho men
| from the mine.
At last the bell rang, and in few min
utes the carriage containing eighteen men
had reached tho surface A second peril
Gus trip brought eighteen more up, and by
this time the roof of the engine house had
fallen in, but Lloyd, with hands and face
badly burned, still chung to tho lever.
Finally the carriage was hauled up for the
third time, with the remaining ten men in
it. Lloyd tainted tho moment his brave
task was ended. His burns, though pain
full, will not prove fatal
