A NOVEL CHALLENGE.
The sohoppe Orchestra of Town Cha
lenaed to Compnta.

The following communication, which
appeared in the Weekly Record yes
terday, explains itself
VIII you kindly permit me space in
your valuable paper for personal eX-
planation. At the Philador engagement
Of my orchestra last week, | came in for
= goodly share Of detraction from some
Shenandoah people, who were aggrieved
because The Schoppe orchestra was not
engaged for that occasion 1t would
seem that they think it presumption for
any orchestra here to put up for anything
in our own town. These parties went to
the extent OF saying that my orchestra
was no good, and actually had the kind
ness to say ought to be shot for putting
up such an orchestra or to call 1t one. |
do not blame these people for saying the
best they can for their orchestra, but do
expect them 60 be fair, | have had the
pleasure of listening to the Shoppe Orches-
ira and can assure them that had | been
disposed to find fault could have done so,
having played and had experience in some
OF the best orchestras in Europe | re-
Trained from criticism or even suggesting
that Schoppe ought to be shot for putting
them there, although asked my opinion by
a good many people.
At the Philador ball there were present
persons from Pottsville, and members of
the Third Brigade band, who expressed a
very different opinion in regard to the
orchestra from the Shenandoah people
Now wish to state that am prepared to
meet the Suhoppe orchestra in a friendly
contest in any class of music, either
classical or dance, on time, execution and
tone, ten men against ten men, and the
Schoppes shall have the choice of music
to be played, the orchestra that loses to
pay the expenses Of a competent adiudica-
tor, either from Reading or Philadelphia;
or l myself will contest singly the leader
or any man they may choose from
amongst them, on the same conditions
mentioned for the orchestra.
am sorry to speak so plainly, but feel
1t necessary to resent imputations against
my own ability or the ability of the or
chestra l have the honor to lead. I make
my living by this profession and do not
throw it in as a side issue to some other
regular calling. These people who i'm
agine they know it all should go to the
large cities or to Europe, where competi-
tion Is keener and they would learn les
son. Yours respectfully,
PROF. JOHN JONES.

PoTTsvILLE, May with the advent
of the Commonwealers into the national
capital on this beautiful spring morning
we must also note the exodus of an army
of common wheelers from many an indus
trial working camp, made idle by the
striking miners in bituminOus coal fields
of the west. The times, it seems, are not
hard enough for the poor laboring mon
they must do something rash and make
them harder for themselves. OF all the
foolhardy movements that ever were
started is the present coal miners strike
in the coke and other regions west of the
Alleghenies Now is the time for the an
thracite miners to show good sense. Let
them stick close to their picks and never 90
astray and they will have steady work
and increased pay. (All truth in the last
sentence, and no poetry intended.)
THE LICENSE TRAFFIC.
The court has had its attention called
by leading editorial in the Morning Des-
patch to the disreputable traffic in liquor
licenses and it was therein shown how the
judges are imposed upon by designing
people who engage In this traffic. This
county is entitled to county detective at
a salary of q ,000 Let some one be ap.
pointed and let him pursue as part Of his
duties an inquiry into the character of
the men who buy licensed places, and
those who get them and sell them; also
the necessity for all places applied for.
The town OF Shenandoah, instead of
having fifty or sixty licensed places kept
by Polanders and Hungarians, would
have less than twenty-five, about fifteen
more than this class of foreigners are en-
titled to, basing the number on the citi-
zen population of the classes named.
Is not that little word necessity"
abused in the granting Of liquor licenses
more than poor dog with tin can tied
to his tail If any one asks you, tell
them YES"

MEDIOCRE STATESMEN.

Like the poor who are always with us,
we have the usual number of chronic
Office seekers in the field again for minor
Offices The latest announcement is that
of the irresistible p. f. Bauer, of Schuylkill
Haven, for Director of the Poor. 1t is not
any particular Office that Peter wants-it
is any Office at all, A list of political an
nouncements In Democratic paper with
Peters not in it is like the play of
Hamlet with Hamlet left out. 1t
would be we'll for the Democrats
to give Peter an Office for three years
this time if only to give our eyes a rest.
Peter is not the worst Democratic office
seeker, by jug full-yet, | would like to
know why Sehuylkill Haveners have such
hankering after the Poor House direc-
tory. 1t is certainly not because they
know a trick or two beyond their fellow
aspirants who reside in other places-do
you think Bauer will have a good follow
ing in the convention and if the Democrat
ic convention nominates sheriff from
north Of the mountain his show to get on
the ticket will be excellent.

HUsTLING FOR SHERIFF..

During a recent trip north of Locust
Mountain | met Frank p Langton, Of
Ashland, a hustling Democratic candi-
date for Sheriff. He was making a quiet
but impressive canvas among the sturdy
farmers of the Unions and ne appeared to
be well pleased with his reception. Ash
land has a pretty good representation on
Court House hill now, that wont count
in the Democratic convention, since Mr.
Thomas Pepper went out of Office last
January. If Shenandoah's favorite son,
Hon, Thomas j. Higgins, does not
get too lukewarm in the fight Mr..
Langton will be possibility, all de
pending upon that horney handed farmer
Of Ringtown, Israel Applegate. Israel Is
in the field, sure enough, so he recently
told your scribe and, as he putlt, 1t Will
do no HARM anyway, if | do come out"
The candidate for Jury Commissioner,
/ believe, who will receive the Democratic
nom nation, has not been heard from yet.
Brothers McGuinness and O'Brien, OF
your town, are only parcelling out meagre
and uncertain strength They should
get together and toss up for the lead with
the understanding that the one who gets
tail should turn tail on the Office and let
the other fellow have the field to himself.
For Senator in the 30th district tine latest
name circulated is NJ Y. O'Connor, Read,
ing Railroad station agent at Mahanoy
City Heis announcing himself by per
sonal letters to friends, some of whom say
openly that Spiese will beat him for the
nomination and Coyle can whip him at
the polls, since the family has received
very recent and wholesome recognition
from their party. What if NJ. rs brother
is postmaster Every man Is supposed
TO be the measurer of his own ambition
and ought not to be handicapped by his
relations. Let the O'Connors Whoop il up
and if j. j. Reilly's friends do not fly the
track you will see one OF the prettiest
tussles that ever took place. n.
