Money in Steamships.

"There Is general impression that
the big Atlantic liners make oceans Of
money" said prominent New Yorker
recently. Some of them, perhaps, do
that make a speciality of the saloon
passenger trade, but those who depend
largely on freights for their profits
have had them badly cut by competi-
tion. came over In the last trip made
by a Guion line steamship, and on 1t
was one Of the officials of the company.
was astonished at the low freight tar
iff. l was informed that wheat was
carried across the Atlantic at two cents
q bushel and general freight as low as
twenty cents ton. 1t is the big pas
senger lines which have cut the rates.
They can afford to carry freight at
nominal rates. They make their money
off their passengers, and carry freight
as ballast. The Guion is an old estab-
lished line, but it has been driven out
by competition 1t has now sold all It's
ships and gone out Of business, simply
because there was no longer any money
IN it"

Luxurious Habits.

To-day young men are gourmands,
delicate of taste and hard to please.
They have made love of comfort into
dilettanteism. "Where is the harm?'
some one asks. "The harm is" replies
o sensible writer in youth, that one
cannot work In a reclining chair. The
harm Is that one becomes slave to
good carpet and rich food. The harm
Is that one hesitates to undertake q
journey, rough but advantageous, be-
cause one cannot take with one all the
appurtenances of ones toilet. The
harm is that at last u man comes to
sacrifice his conscience to his dear COM
fort, and that In all questions of mar
riage, of profession, of public life-that
is to say, all questions of the future, of
dignity, of honor often-comfort, the
tyrant comfort, joins issue with the
strictest duties and comes off victorious
because it calls itself by name more
powerful even than that of passion,
the name of habit. Yes, habit, that
pale companion of old age, that mel
ancholy sister of folly-habit rules
many young men as love never ruled
them. 1t causes a thousand just re-
proaches from father to son, resented
In a thousand bitter replies; from it
finally come thousand endless discus
sions on that real battlefield of the
family, the question of money"

JEDDO NEWS.

Blackberry picking parties are the rage
here at present. The Scales and Mush
valley are the favorite places for our
young ladies to gather that juicy berry.
Perhaps it is not so much the pleasure
of gathering berries as the novelty of
being dressed in male attire, which all
who took part in them SO far have in
dulged in. We are glad to know that
our young ladies are independent enough
to adopt such measures of common sense
in getting through briars.
Miss Mary Hughes, of old Jeddo, was
rendered surprise party by her many
friends on Friday evening. Taken in
all, 1t was very pleasant affair.
Rumor has it that several of our
young men, and some of our ladies, too.
will worship at the altar of hymeneal in
the near future.
The Hungarian ball team of Swamp
town suffered defeat at the hands of a
team of their brethren of Hazlebrook
yesterday.
Several of our young people took in
the excursion to Glen Onoko on Satur-
day.
John ]. Gallagher, of Pleasant Hill,
smiled on friends here yesterday.
YES" said one of our young men,
I'VE can have a quiet tete-a-tete here
free from all observation" when she
had turned down the light in the parlor.
Suiting the action to the word, he sat
gently down, but was surprised to find
some one on the sofa, who, being sat
upon, arose and proved to be her papa.
He will not be invited to call again.

SOME time ago prominent physician
In eastern New York had patient for
whom as a last resort a change of cli-
mate was recommended. The route
advised by the doctor was through the
south and by easy stages to Denver.
The patient disregarded the suggestion
and started direct for the Colorado city,
but died before reaching his destina-
ton. Not long afterward friend of
the unfortunate one called on the ply
sician and took him to task for advis-
Ing the journey. After limiting that
the physician did not understand his
profession, the friend said; Anyone
without brains could have known that
he would not live to reach Denver. I

INSECT pests are extraordinarily nu-
merous all over the country this year
Seventeen-year locusts are raising
havoc in the east and cutworms in the
south, and from the middle states come
reports OF swarms of crickets. Cham
paign and Urbana, in Illinois, were in.
vaded by an army of these insects the
other day. They practically took by
storm the courthouse in Urbana. They
swarmed in every office of the building
and covered the exterior walls Sew
eral hours work was required to sweep
the insects out. The other night they
invaded the resident portion Of the
two towns and every house had num-
bcrs of the insects, which were quite
large and slow moving. No one is
able to explain the phenomenon

BASE BALL POINTS.

Coughs Hustlers, of Hazleton, will
play here next Sunday afternoon. The
Hustlers beat the Tigers, 6-5, last May,
and were since defeated, 80, by the
Tigers. The coming game promises to
be more interesting than either of the
two previously played. The strongest
clubs that can be secured will represent
both towns.
James Herron's right ankle was severe
ly sprained in Thursdays game while
sliding into second base. Thos. Mcclure
took his place. Heron is fine player
and knows every inch of the left field
The ankle is getting along nicely and
he may be able to resume work in a few
days.
The appearance of P. J. Boyle and
John McGeady in Tiger uniforms on
Thursday was pleasant surprise to the
rooters.
Welsh pitched one of his old-time
games against Jeanesville and kept the
kickers chopping wind in good style.
The Fearnots play at Honey Brook
next Saturday afternoon.
McGarvey's playing at third this sea-
son is highly praised by the spectators
He accepts every chance to head off hits
The Tigers have fourteen games won
and five lost. Percentage, .737.
Jimmy Walsh's batting and fielding
records are among the best in the Tigers.
The Hazleton delegation of rooters,
who are against the Tigers every time,
had but little TO say yesterday after the
game started.
McGeehan and Boner, of the Fearnots,
are decided help to the Tigers. Either
can fill any position on the team, and
they always play to win.
There was quite an interesting game at
Drifton yesterday, between the Roches-
ter club of Honey Brook and the Fear
nots. Excitement ran high from
beginning to end. The score was II to
10 in favor of the Fearnots.

Strange Result of Paralysis.

Authentic instances of old people
who have recovered lost sight, hearing
or speech, or who have grown third
set of teeth or supplementary crop of
hair, are not uncommon. But cases in
which perfect memory has been re-
gained after being impaired almost to
the verge of extinction by paralytic
shock, are rare. This, however, has
happened to William McEntee, an old
man of eighty-four, residing In Phila-
delphia. During u recent storm he in
sisted upon taking his daily walk, and
In consequence was laid up with Sc
we're cold. While sitting In his arm
chair after his recovery, recently,
he found himself humning an air
which he had not heard since he
was boy In the Emerald isle. Then
he began to tell story which the old
song recalled, and to the amazement of
his family he went on to recite Incl
dents and events not only of long ago,
but of more recent dates, of which, be-
fore his brief illness, he had no recol-
lection.

Deaths from Consumption.

A report that has been circulated
that the death rate from consump-
ton is greater in Washington than
In other large cities of the coun-
try has apparently no foundation,
health statistics showing that 2.7
persons in every thousand die from
the disease In that city, as COM
pared with the rate of 3.3 In San Fran
cisco, 3.2 in New York, and 8 In Boston.
In considering the rate of 2.7 in Wash
ington two facts should be borne In
mind; that negroes are more prone to
consumption than whites, and that one
third of the people of the city are of
that race. From 1883 to 1892 s,019 per-
sons died from consumption In the
District of Columbia, and of these 4,312
We're colored and 3,7O7 were white. Be-
tween the ages of 20 and 80 the NOR
tality at Washington from consumption
is the greatest 1t also appears that
during the years covered by the COM
putations 1872 white children under
years of age died from consumption
and no less than 643 negro children un-
der that age succumbed. While the
mortality is about the same among the
white males and females about 20 per
cent. more negro females die of it than
males of the same race High as the
mortality of the negro from consump-
tion in Washington is, statistics show
that 1t has decreased from 631 In 1888
to 4G2 in 1903, decrease of nearly 80
Der cent
