In addition to the large number of
eligible bachelors in town, there are also
many young widowers
Many depraved men in this town pay
from ten cents to fifty cents for a night
cap. If women paid the same price for
an eye opener of tea or coffee, they would
be happier, healthier and prettier. Moth
ing tones up the system like q cup of hot
coffee, with squeeze of lemon and two
sugar loaves, unless 1t Is a cup of tea,
with two squeezes of lemon and three
loaves.
A long suffering public calls upon the
police to stop the practice OF over-grown
blackguards loafing on the street corners.
They insult ladies as they pass, without
discrimination. Some day they will carry
this thing to extremes, and reap the con
sequences in sound thrashing. Let the
police act that is what they are paid for.
There are more libertines to the square
foot in Shenandoah than any town of its
size in the state.
There are many people in this county
to-day who remember that at the draw
ing of the Miners Hospital Gift Concert
that S4 900 went to Myerstown, Lebanon
county, the lucky one being a poor weak
minded orphan boy. This week Rev.
John Gruhler, who was visiting the above
place, had his shoes polished by this same
boy.
This is the month hay fever patients
dread more than any other in the year.
The disease generally makes its appear

males and females. 1t is said Eagles
Mere is the only place to visit to escape
the bad effects of this dreaded malady
Females are taking to riding bicycles
as ducks do to water. They sit on their
wheels gracefully, an example which
several gentlemen riders in this town
could profit by. They should discard the
striped stockings, however. The young
ladies, 1 mean.
Some time ago the Borough Council
authorized the proper official to prohibit
the running of cars through the town
above the speed allowed by the ordinance
governing the same. 1t appears to have
had liUtle effect upon the railroads.
Before Eve dlshonored paradise and

partaken of in Eden's bowers. Not a bit

Pungent Paragraphs Prepared and Pub
liShed for the Public'S PeruSal.
This is good year for Republican
msjoritieS.
The fight between Scott and Higgins
will be an interesting one.
Brumm will make things lively for
Reilly on the stump this fall.
It Is something unusual that Pottsville
Is not represented on the county ticket.
Shenandoah's three unsuccessful candi-
dates before Mondays convention take
their defeat good naturedly.
A more enthusiastic convention was
never held by the Republicans of the
county than that on Monday.
Brumm is only too anxious to tear the
Democratic tariff bill to pieces, and with
it Reilly's Democratic majority.
The Republicans of the county have
placed the Democrats in a hole-by the
selection of strong and impregnable
ticket
Hiram Meyer, of Pottsville, and Fran
els Job, of Tamaqua, are spoken of for
the position of county chairman. Under
the new rules of the Republican party
the candidates-elect select the chairman.
Elias Davis, the defeated candidate for
Sheriff, is stronger to-day than he ever
was. His manly action in accepting his
defeat gracefully, in the face of an effort
TO stampede the convention in his favor,
has won him hundreds of new friends
His short speech did more to create the
harmony that now exists in the party,
than all the would-be thermometers In the
county.

ARSON FOR REVENUE.
The Work of an Organized Gang
of Anarchists in Chicago,
CONFESSION OF THE PRINCIPAL.

It Was His Business tu Cause Fires for
the Purpose of Defrauding Insurance
Companies, He Receiving a Hundred
Dollars for Each ConHagration.
CHICAGO, Aug. 1G.-Carl Herlitz and his
wife were held over to the grand Jury in
bonds Of 5000 and 81, 600 respectively by
Justice Caldwell, of the Englewood police
court, on charges Of arson. Herlitz pleaded
guilty to the charge, but his wife denied
her guilty. The couple have been living at
Washington Heights, and it was declared
by the fire inspector in court that they
are at the head of gang of anarchists
who have been guilty of committing an
archistic offenses not ouly for sentiment,
but for revenue to be derived therefrom.
Inspector Conway stated that he held
tndisputable evidence to show that an or
ganized gang of students of Herr Most's
theories and methods had been operating
in Chicago and vicinity. They bad been
carrying out their theories by burning
down or blowing up houses in order to Sc
cure the insurance
After the proceedings in court Herlitz
made full confession. He said he came
here from New Orleans five years ago and
met man nameu DcharI' VINO introduced
him into anarchistic doctrines. Later
Scharf suggested that the most rational
way to secure reprisals for capitalistic
robbery was to get after the insurance
companies. Bombs and other anarchistic
paraphernalia were adapted to the new
use, and operations were commenced.
Such men as did the preliminary work,
left the actual firing to Herlitz, and were
to receive 5 per cent. of the money received
from the insurance. Herhtz said they de-
rived a good revenue on the per cent.
1t is claimed that the compensation of
Herlitz for each fire for which he Is re-
sponsible was 800.

generating.
The present management of this once
popular summer resort have certainly
missed their calling Unless a change for
the better is soon made the place will be
avoided by the better and more respect
able class of people, And such state Of
affairs is to be regretted, as this section is
greatly in need of place for recreation.
To use this beautiful park for prize
fighting, cock fighting etc, is without
excuse. During the first two years OF it's
existence all the dates for the season were
easily filed 1t Is much !easier follower
the reputation of the place than regain
its former prestige. Your correspondent
does not know who composes the present
management, nor do care, for that mat
ter. But 1t is plain to be seen whoever he
may be he doesn't know when his feet
are cold.
The young ladies of Shenandoah who
were rusticating here for the good of their
health have returned home. During their
stay they had most pleasant time, made
so by the frequent presence of gentlemen
friends from Shenandoah and Mahanoy
City
"Bg" Dick Coogan, he of Shenandoah,
is no longer with us and has returned to
his home. The place was too small for
him.
Sunday finds many people here who
want to spend quiet day. They mostly
come from Shenandoah and Mahanoy
City, and bring with them plenty of re
freshments, both solid and liquid
1t was expected, and as fOudly hoped
for, that the Lakeside Electric Railway
would be extended to this place by next
fall. The intentions of the company, l
understand, are we'll enough, but owing
to the pig-headedness of those who are
continually putting sprays in the wheels
of progress, it won't be built this fall
perhaps never. This is to be regretted,
as it would be a great convenience to the
patrons of the place.
1t is rumored that Gus Roth will shortly
take possession of the place again. That
under the present management it does not
pay the actual expenses and interest on
the investment is generally acknowledged,
With change of m tnagement the place
can be again brought up to its former
popularity and made to pay the stock
holders handsomely.
