POLITICAL DRIFT.

sB- Democratic rule has shrinking effect upon everything that it touches except the public debt - St Louis Globe Democrat.
 s3-Just at present the democratic party is split in two parts; those who swear by the Wilson bill. and those who swear at it-N. Y. Tribune.
 sB-It is pretty tough on ademocratic militia to have to suppress democratic miners because they are dissatisfied with democratic times and wages This is current history, though, down in West Virginia. ia.-Philndelphia Press.
 B"The last treasury statement shows the deficiency for the eight months of the present fiscal year to be s40 l37, ,265; and no other argument is needed to insure republican victory in the fall elections. St Louis Globe Democrat.
 G53~ Mir. Bland calls his brother demo- crats anarchists" and ''revolutionists" and very emphatically admits that his party is utterly incapable of controll- ing legislation or the government. The democrats are telling many truths about their party these days. -Minne- apolis Journal
 e" A year and half ago democratic statesmen assured business men of the grand future before them under "a tariff for revenue only" and the rob Der tariff smashed" Here we are at the end of full year of power and what have they done? Wrecks every. where, prosperity nowhere; not a prom ise redeemed, nor scarcely a bright spot in sight.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
 L4-"Its blamed good thing for the party that there is no national election just now" gloomily remarked cuckoo democrat as he read the returns from Pennsylvania. "Oh, remarked chip per republican who had been reading an attack on the president in demo- cratic journal, "I know of something a good deal worse for the democratic party than Q national election iust now" "What?" was the anxious query. ''The national election that will take place in ls96," was the reply. "For by that time you fellows will be out of sight-in the hole you are digging for yourselves" And the cuckoo democrat proceeded to hide himself in the dark, dark silence that he emitted. IN.

Paper for a Bedroom.

Dainty bedroom papers are much in demand, and wonderfully beautiful some of them are. The one fault in rooms of any size is lack of character and a somewhat faded ensemble, but even that has been obviated by a clever device. In the home of recent bride of artistic tastes the walls of the guest room are papered with design of pale pink upon creamy, white ground, and the defect of too pale tints is en- tirely overcome by bordering of olive cartridge paper. Each of the four walls has become panel, and the plain tint runs around all sides, so that the sweet, tender pinks are in closed in a frame and the room as a whole gains the dignity that is desired.

The Safe of the PIeasanton, Kan, Bank
 Blown Open and Robbed-Neariy Se ,5OO
 Stolen-CIearly the Work of Experts.
 PLEAsANToN, Kan, March s.-Some time between 1 and o'clock yes- terday morning the vault and safe of the bank of Pleasanton were blown open with dynamite and nitro-glycerine and s2, 47O taken there from in currency, silver, gold and postage stamps A hole was drilled into the door of the vault between the dial and handle, and by the use of a punch the connection between the combination and handle was broken and the bolts could then be thrown without any effort. The door of the safe was sprung with wedges, and seams puttied up around the door and nitro-glycerine poured in. Dynamite was then placed under the safe and touched off with fuse. This caused the glycerine toeXplode, throw. ing the safe, which weighed two tons, from one side of the vault to the other. The front and bottom of the safe is one mass of twisted and broken iron.
 In the safe outside the chest was s1,25O in currency, s20O in silver and s10O in gold, which was all taken ex. cept S3S in silver dollars. The burglar. proof chest or department withstood the shock of the explosion. This box contained s1O,OOO in currency and gold, The burglars made an effort to force an entrance to this wealth, but un. doubtedly were frightened away or time was too short
 After robbing the safe of what they could get, the burglars went through all the private boxes, thirty in number, stealing $500 in currency, property oi R. A. Oderweller, and s620 worth oi stamps from Postmaster Holmes box. The vault door was then closed, the bolts thrown and the handle broken off so an entrance was impossible until an expert safe opener from Kansas City arrived at 1 o'clock.
 The books papers, notes, etc, of the bank and those kept in private boxes are all mixed and in bad condition The safe has been in use about seven years and was supposed to be burglar nroof

CHARMING BEDROOM.
A Pink and Blue Apartment of Remark
 able Attractiveness.


 able Attractiveness
 I had set my heart upon having such an apartment, and fortunately the pa- per of my room was a neutral tint. Not being satisfied with the border I bought two pieces of decided blue paper at cost of forty cents. This l cut in half, the paper being too wide to suit my idea. l then pasted it over the old border, being careful that the edge of my blue paper should touch the edge of the ceiling, and this l fin- ished with narrow gilt border which pasted on the ceiling. A carpet cov- cred the floor, as the boards were un- equal in width.
 I procured from the manufacturers 8 plain bedstead, bureau, wardrobe with nickel-plated knobs and locks, and two of the plainest kitchen chairs, without painting or finishing of any kind. gave each piece in the set two coats of blue paint and a coat of var nish, and had the glass in the bureau changed to French plate. An old wicker rocking chair was painted white and ornamented with pink and blue ribbons. The bedspread and bolster case were made from ordinary twelve-cent scrim, having baby ribbon run through the lace stripes. The stationary washstand was hidden by a common three-fold screen. The cover- ing for this, as was also the window drapery and chair cushions, was of fine China silk of pink and blue. The shade for the standing lamp, made from crinkled paper, the bureau scarf and glove case were all of the shades of pink and blue. The beauty of this room, completed at a cost of seventy five dollars, can hardly be imagined.- Laurie Duckett, in Ladies' Home Jour nal.

Relief for Nervous Headache.

The ordinary nervous headache will be greatly relieved, and in many cases entirely cured by removing the waist of one's dress, knotting the hair high
 up on the head out of the way, and, while leaning over a basin, placing a sponge soaked in water as hot as it can be borne on the back of the neck.
 Repeat this many times, also applying the sponge behind the ears, and the strained muscles and nerves that have caused so much misery will be felt to relax and smooth themselves out deli ciously, and very frequently the pain

 Egypt has been called "the land of surprises" Year after year the ex- plorers in the Nile land bring to light some new and startling examples of art, revealing to us the astonishing character of the early civilization of the Egyptians. Egypt has now rival in the sister civilization of ancient Chaldea. Although in art Chaldea Is far behind the land of the Nile, espe- cially in the art of painting, the res toration of the early civilization and the perfect picture which we can form of the life and manners and customs of the people are almost as complete as those which we can restore of Egypt

COLORS OF FLOWERS.
An Easy Method or Preserving Them foI
 an Indefinite Period.

An Easy method or freserVing Them Tor
 an Indefinite Period.
 It is over a quarter of a century since the following appeared in the Garden ers' Monthly. Coming back again to America after its long travel, it is still worth republishing.
 "The following ancient method, which comes from America as new, may be worth repeating and trying: Take very fine sand, wash it perfectly clean, and when dry sift it through a fine sieve into pan. When the sand is deep enough to hold the flowers in an upright position, take some more sifted sand and carefully cover them. A spoon is good thing to take for this, as it fills in every chink and cram ny without breaking or bending the leaves. When the pan is filled solidly, leave the flowers to dry for several days. It is a good plan to warm the sand in the oven before using it, as the flowers will then dry more thoroughly. In taking the sand off, great care must be taken not to break the leaves, as they arc now dry and brittle. Pansies preserved in this way will keep their shape and brilliancy of color all win ter, and many other flowers can be equally successfully treated - any, thing, in fact, where the full pressure of the sand comes on both sides of the leaf; otherwise they will shrivel. To fill in flowers with cup-like shapes it is better to lay them on the sand, and with small spoon fill in and around each flower. Ferns when preserved in this way have more natural look than when pressed, and the maiden hair fern looks almost as well as when it is freshly gathered"

B-The cotton and woolen mills in and around Worcester, Mass, are re- suming operations, and about seventy per cent of the old employees are at work Orders are coming in, but the manufacturers say that buyers insist upon lower prices So goods must be produced for less money, and reduc- tions in wages are the rule. The em- ployes find that work at lower pay is better than idleness, and so there has been no trouble on account of the re- ,duction. Democratic wages must fol- low democratic cheapness. - Troy Times

ST. PETERS FIRST SERMON.
Rev. DR.. Mcleod Speaks Strongly on Re-
viyal Work and Conversion.

viyal Work and Conversion.
Rev. DR.. Mcleod continued his series
of sermons upon "The Early Years
Of Christianity, his subject last even
ing being "St Peters First Sermon, u
which he remarked was his greatest
sermon and, probably, the most effec-
tive sermon preached by any Of the
ministers of Christ since the days OF
Penitent Dr. Mcleod entered exhaus-
lively into the question Of the time, the
place, and the audience upon the occa-
sion and followed with an eloquent dis.
sertation upon the preacher and made
comparative remarks as to the preach
ing Of the present day. Speaking of the
sermon, DR.. Mcleod said;
There was no silly gush about ST.
Peters preaching 1t contained nc
sickly sentimentalism. He did not
preach a sham Christianity. The re-
vival that followed his preaching was no
sham revival, 1t was not man-made, but
1t was God-given its results were gen.
uine. There have been times in the his
tory of the church when great numbers
have professed to be converted, and
whose names were enrolled upon the
church records, but they soon grew
cold and careless. They got easily into
the church and they got easily out of it.
Like the seed sown in stony places,
their piety soon withered away. and the
backdoor of the church was almost as
wide open as the front door and short
time after the revival one may search
for them in vain"

IN FINANCIAL TROUBLE.
Big Judgment Entered Up Against tn
Firm of II. Battin 4 Co,


The hardware business of Henry Bat
tin on Penn avenue will probably be
closed this morning by the sheriff, who
will levy upon the stock to satisfy a
judgment note for $16,140 in favor of
Emellne c. Battin, the merchants wife.
The note is dated Aug. Is, 1892, and was
filed in the prothonotary's office late
Saturday afternoon by Attorney Diehl,
of Watson & Diehl. A writ was issued
and given TO the sheriff for service.
Execution, however was postponed ow-
ing to the lateness of the hour which
prevented the sheriff procuring insur-
ance and attending to other necessary
details.
Mr.. Battin is engaged in the business
with James Holden under the firm
name of Henry Battin & Co. They re-
side In Elmhurst and Dunmore, respec-
lively. Mr.. Battin has been in Scranton
for over quarter Of a century, and was
for many years in partnership with
William P. Connell and later with w.
]. Battin, a son,
The building at 126 Penn avenue Is
owned by Mr.. Battin and is valued at
$25, 900. He also owns his residence at
Elmhurst.
Deputy Sheriff Ryan, who has charge
of the writ, told a Tribune reporter last
night that the writ would be served
this morning, unless some manner of
settlement is made. From another
source it is learned that the levy will
positively be made and that Monday,
Oct. %. will be the day fixed for the sale.

BROKEN.HEARTED WIFE.
Was in the City in Search of n Faithless
Husband.

A broken-hearted wife was in the
city Saturday afternoon and until late
that night, accompanied by Wilkes
Barre police sergeant, looking for a
perfidious husband who had robbed and
deserted her. Their search was un-
successful. - -
The woman was Mrs. William Gel
seke, who had once before been de-
serted and robbed by her husband
when they lived in Newark. She To-
Gated him in Wilkes-Barre and finally
Joined him in that city under the prom
ise that he would not again betray
her confidence. She had some money
and considerable valuable jewelry.
GeiselSe squandered a large amount OF
both and finally, ON Friday, disap-
peared with $500.
He was known to have left on a
Delaware and Hudson train, so Mrs.
Geiseke, with Sergeant of Police Houck,
of Wilkes-Barre, came to Scranton In
the hope that they would find him here.
That their quest proved fruitless is
evidence that Geiseke and the money
are hundreds of miles distant.
The deserted woman Is said to be
of the German nobility. She relin-
quished her title to marry poor drug
gist named Engle, with whom she came
to Newark, where Engle conducted a
small pharmacy. Soon after his death
his widow married Geiseke.

HORSES WERE FRIGHTENED.
Collision with an Electric Car Caused
Them TO Run AWAY.

lhem 10 KUN Away.
A spirited runaway which fortu-
nately did not result seriously created
considerable excitement on Adams
avenue yesterday afternoon about 6
o'clock.
A team of horses owned by Frank M.
Spencer, driven by the coachman and
attached to a two-seated phaeton, be-
came frightened during a slight COLI
sion with Dunmore car at the corner
of Linden street and became unman-
ageable, Two friends of the driver
were in the carriage and safely alighted
before the frightened team had made
much headway. The harness became
partly detached from the carriage in
sudden plunge over the curblng
and onto the court house lawn, where
the horses were freed from the convey
ance and were caught after running
few blocks.
The driver was slightly hurt by being
pulled over the dashboard. The team
was not injured excepting few small
scratches.
