- sERVlA's STOCK TROUBLE.
IN 4 Middle Over Who Shall Rule, While
Milan Poses as a Patriot.


Milan Poses Patriot.
The frugal Servians just now are torn
by conflicting emotions. King Alexander
and his erratic, disreputable father have
managed between them to ALLEVIATE what
little love had been left in Servia for the
Obrenovitsch dynasty, and if the Kara
georgeVitch pretenders were reasonably
respectable and fairly disinterested they
could obtain the throne without much
difficulty. But Prince Arsene and Prince
Peter are, in their way, not much to be
preferred to e1-King Milan and his son.
They are ambitious, autocratic, extrava-
CANT and heavily in debt, and their morals
will not bear severe scrutiny.
They are surrounded by impecunious
Russian mobiles and loose people Of both
sexes, all of whom will have to be lib
orally provided for in the event of the
Karageorgevitch restoration out Of the
national treasury, and, to crown their
disadvantages in the eyes Of the Servian
farmers, they claim the retrocession to
them of the enormous estates which
were formerly the private property of
their house, and which We're confscated
to the state when the head of the Kara
georgevitch family was assassinated and
all his relatives were kicked out Of the
country.
On the whole. therefore, Arsene and
Peter would be more expensive than MI
Ian and Alexander. As the question is
mainly one OF money, the latter will in
all probability remain in Belgrade, the
establishment Of a republic being entire
ly out of the question. Meanwhile Mi
Ian poses as patriot. He pines for Paris
and its supreme delights, which it is i'm
possible to enjoy in semibarbarous Bel
grade, but stern sense OF duty keeps
him at his sons side. Privately he Is
Eagging with the ministers as to the sum
which shall be paid him to clear out. He
has limited that if his price be not paid
he will have himself appointed general
issimo and inspector of the army and set
tie permanently i'll the country. The ap-
palling prospect thus opened is likely
materially to hasten q settlement.-Bel-
grade Letter.

Kiel on board Of the German war vessel
Worth with an electrically lighted Life
buoy, the invention Of Captain Meter.
The buoy was thrown overheard when
the vessel was proceeding at a speed of
about 16 knots. For a space of about 12
seconds it was lost in the eddy currents
caused by the twin screws of the vessel,
but then reappeared. The new lifebuoy
will be found useful at night, and the
experiments resulted so successfully that
it is probable that it will be adopted gen.

Historic Brass Knocker.

TRIES light as air have interest some

trifing to feed American curiosity. A
new brass knob has just been placed up
on Mr.. Gladstone's front door in Down

done the state .much@ service and had
been grasped by the hands Of a century

Hearing of this treasure trove, an en-

A BAY KNIGHT ON HOOFs.

He Saved His Masters Little Daughter
From the Attacks of Savage Cur.
The bay Jack is one of dozen hunters
which Mr.. James B. Dill keeps in his
stable at his home on Harrison street,
Orange. His fad is breeding hunters.
The other morning Mr.. Dill was stand
ing just inside the stable door talking
to his groom and had Jacks bride In
his hand.
Suddenly he heard scream and rec
ognized the voice as that of his little
daughter. jack, the bay hunter, heard
It, too. and he must have recognized 1t,
for Quicker than it takes to tell and be-
fore Mr.. Dill realized what had happen
ed, Jack had jerked the bride from Mr..
Dill's hand, backed out of the stable and
was running across the stable yard. MIR.
Dill followed, and what he saw was cal
culated to make him follow pretty rap
idly. His little daughter was being at
tackled by dog-a big, ugly, yellow cur
that did not belong around the place.
She had seen her father return from his
ride and had started from the house to
the stable to meet him, as was her Gus
tom. The strange dog had sprung at
her. Its teeth were tearing her dress,
and she was vainly struggling to release
herself.
What Mr.. Dill saw Jack, the bay
hunter, saw, too, and he must have had
the same appreciation of the little girls
danger that the father had. Running
until he reached the little girl and the
dog, he reared up on his hind legs and
then brought his fore feet down with
crushing force on the vicious cur. The
dog released it's bold on the girls cloth
ing and fell, but Jack had not finished
his work. Turning just as the dog was
about to rise again, he let fly his hind
legs and gave the cur kick that landed
it in heap against a stone fence full 10
feet away. Then Jacks work was done,
and he waited for Mr.. Dill to come up.
Mr.. Dill found that his little daughter
was not injured, though badly frighten-
ed Then he went over and took look
,et the dog. It was dead. Then he went
over to his bay hunter, Jack, gave him
an affectionate slap OR two and placed
his little daughter on Jacks back. The
hunter seemed to appreciate the comph-
lnent and neighed with delight as he
started for the stable, where Mr.. Dill
told the groom to give him ''the best in
the house and plenty of it."-New York

John Moser, one of the heirs of the
Moser estate, died in the almshouse at
Laurytown on Tuesday John Moser
was the grandson of Burkhart Moser,
the first white settler in the Panther
Creek valley. In 1777 Burkhart Moser
bought 200 acres of land along Panther
creek near what is the present town of
Tamaqua. lie shortly after discovered
coal along the banks of the creek. His
brother Jacob joined him and together
they conducted business of selling
coal to the farmers in Lehigh and Berks
counties by the bushel. Later Burkhart
purchased l 900 acres of land extending
northward towards Coaldale and settled
on farm. Here John was born in 1880
During the war the operations of the
Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company
were gradually extended from Nesaue-
honing towards Coaldale, and, it is
claimed, the Moser tract, which proved
to be exceedingly rich in coal, was
usurped by this company. The heirs to
the estate have been for years trying to
regain possession of the estate and have
spent fortune in litigation.
John Moser spent whatever money he
had in trying to establish his claim, and
became so poor that to earn livelihood
he was at length obliged to accept a
position of slate picker. He had follow
this occupation during the past several
years working in the breakers around
Hazleton.
Lately his health had been failing and
his inability to secure the money which
he believed by right belonged to him
preyed heavily upon his mind and he
began to show signs of insanity. Being
deprived of his only means of support
he was last February sent to the aims
house, where he died heart broken and
penniless. His wife, who is infrm and
aged, survives him.

Two of our residents are going to in
dulge in another shooting match on May

hope these two sportsmen will make the
affair creditable by doing some shooting
and not so much talking. The match
will be for $50.
The school term closed yesterday in
the primary school taught by Miss Bella
McGill at this place. The closing exer-
cises were very good and the children
show marked improvement over pre-

pleased and they will make an effort to
have Miss McGill teach here next term
by petitioning the school board or other
wise.

John Stein, who has been sick for
about a week, is able to work again.

were here visiting his parents and rela-

John Lesenring, of this place, who is
out as candidate for the congressional
nomination on the Republican ticket, is
meeting with great deal of success in
in his canvass. If the Republicans
want man to represent this district in
congress they could not find one in
the county who could down all opposi-
ton with as much ease as Mr.. Leisen-
ring. While he is not professional
politician, he has all the qualifications
that are necessary to be a successful con-
gresham and if his party will give him
the nomination our town will certainly
be the home of the next congressman
from this district.

mains to the Church and Cemetery.

requiem mass for the repose of his soul
was celebrated by Rev. F. P. McNally,
of Scranton, who was assisted by Father
O'Reilly as deacon, Father Fallihee as
subdeacon, and Father Maszotas as mas
ter of ceremonies. Father Brehony, of
Eckley, and Father Phillips, of Plains,
were also present and occupied positions
of honor near the altar.

McNally began sermon upon the life
of the deceased, of whom he was an in
innate friend. He spoke upon the good
qualities of Mr.. Hayes and how he had
endeared himself to his friends and asso-
ciates by his noble life. His remarks
were attentiyely listened to and many
in the church were affected by the sin
cere tribute the priest paid to the memo
ry of the dead attorney.
