them hope to become merchants,
when they have no aptitude what
ever for commercial affairs, and are
doomed to lives Of bitter toll and
grinding poverty. This ought not to
be. Everybody in America is Justly
entitled to trade, and he ought to
have the chance to master one. Many
sons of poor parents and many Or
phan boys are compelled to forego
the inestimable benefits of appren.

sisted by wise philanthropy; but very

ANOTHER
GAS WAR.
Main Street Business People Are
on the War Path.
THE METERS TELL LIES
Consumers Say That the More EcOnOm
iCal They Are the More Rapid
the Bills Grow.

There is another gas war in progress in
town and if the complaining consumers
do one-half what they threaten there will
be big drop in the dividends of the gas
company when the new year opens.
At least twenty consumers presented
their grievances to a HERALD representa-
tive to-day and were so emphatic in their
declarations that the paper in the repor
ter's note book refused to take the lead
from the pencil.
1t Is quite evident that the present cause
of complaint does not arise from an In
tent on the part of the company, but
rather from one of those spasmodic
'eccentricities of the meters that has done
so much to promote strife between the
stockholders and consumers; one OF those
eccentricities which is so peculiar that
when a mistake is made 1t is never on the
side Of the man who foots the bill.
One complaint is the proprietor of
lodge hall. During September the lodge
room was occupied every evening during
tue week, and the bill for the month
amounted to $3.50. Durilg October the
room was occupied but four nights week,
yet the bill for the month amounts to $40.
Another consumer states that he burus
one gas jet and his bill for The past month
amounts TO $3.50, while his neSt-door
neighbor is charged with but S2,75 for
four jets used during the same period.
One Main street business man was SO
enrsged that he went down to the CELLAR
of his building this morning and, by ac-
tual record, stood before the gas meter
for eighteen minutes, swearing like a
trooper aud maligning the memory OF the
man who invented the meter. Finding
the dials of the meter were unaffected
| by the imprecations and simply stared
him in the face in what are-you-going-to
do.abOut it manner, the worthy citizen
| seized an AK and was about to smash the
eountenances of the deceiving dials when
is good wife shrieked and Jumped for
ward, after the manner OF the heroine of
/ the play who snatches her lover from the
jaws of death, and in a few words i'm
pressed upon the mind of her spouse tue
absurdity of buying machines for the gas
company in addition to paying the in-
creased rates.
hahs Vue tnlng, anyway remafReu
/ the husband as be dropped the AK and
started out of the cellar to get his coat
and hat with the intention of finding
some official of the gas company TO in
quire why it is that since the Wilson bill
is giving the working people everything
| they want for nothing, that the business
men must pay high tariff for gas.
One man remarked to- dag that if the
new gas plant is always to work as il does
now he would prefer going back to the
old system.

ARMY and NayY Veterans.

The movement TO organize command
of the Army and Navy Veterans in town

Army and Navy Veterans at Pottsville:
John Smith, Henry Bickleman, John
Fisher, Michael Murphy, James McHugh
and Anthony Monaghan, of town; Thomas
Broderick, Ellengowan, and E. l.. Kuder,

A Series of Bets Upon Which One

The local political pot Is on a high boil
and by Saturday night it will be overflow

making frequent visits to the town and |
doing an immense amount Of quiet work.
1t is quite evident that this place is looked |
to with more interest than has been mani |
tested in connection with it for several |
years.
There is no doubling that the effect
made by the Democratic fishle on Monday |
night has made an excellent impression
for the Republican ticket. While betting
is no argument it is nevertheless pretty
fair indicator of confidence in some cases
and more Republican money has been
put up during the past two days than was
staBed during the preceding two weeks.
A stake of ten dollars was put up on each
of the following ten bets by prominent
Republican last night; I. Brumm will
carry Schuylkill county. 9. Reilly will
not have over 100 majority In Shenandoah.
g. Brumm will carry Shenandoah. A. Hjg-
gins will not have 300 majority in Shen-
doah. ). Higgins will not have $50 major

carry Pennsylvania by 100000 majority.
s. Hastings will carry Pennsylvania by
19S,OtO majority. 9. Hastings viii carry
Pennsylvania by 10000 majority. 10. Nor
ton will carry New York.
1t is incidentally remarked that the Re
publicans of PottsviLle are putting out
money by stacks on bets that Brumn
will carry that town by from 500 to son
majority.
