From the Wilkes Barre Record.
George Taylor, who claims to hail from
Easton, was arrested on Monday on in
formation sworn out by Frank DePierro,
of Freeland. The information alleges
that Taylor collected money from De-
Pierro with the intention to defraud
Taylor solicited advertisements from
business men to appear in pamphlet
containing suggestions on banking, with
the understanding that the advertise
ment was to obtain circulation through
the issue Of these pamphlets as compli-
ments of some local or other bank.
Taylor, it is alleged, solicited an adver.
tisement of DePierro in the latter part
of March last, for which he paid So, but
the latter has had no proof given him
yet that Taylor has performed the con-
tract. Taylor is known here and has
engaged in the advertising business by
placing music boxes with advertisements
in a number of public places. He was
given hearing before Squire Davidson
last evening and in default of $400 bail
was committed to Jail to await trial at
court

BASE BALL POINTS.

The attraction at the park here on
July l will be the strong amateur club
of Wilkes Barre, which has been seen
here in previous seasons, and they have
never failed to play sharp and inter-
esting game. The battery for the visi-
tors will be Swartzman and Zeller, and
Welsh and GafTney will occupy the
points for the Tigers. The game will
commence promptly at 8 O'Clock.
The Fearnots and Tigers each have
engaged grounds for picnics on August
Is, the former at Drifton and the latter
at Freeland
President Myers, of the Harrisburg
club, threatens to take the team to At
lantic City after July 7, unless the at
tendance at the games increases.
Higgins, Swartman, Zeller, Goeckle,
Devlin, Feisler and three of Wilkes
Barrels Eastern league club will be the
nine who will represent the county seat
here on Sunday next.
The Silver Brook club, smarting under
its defeat from last Sunday, wants the
Tigers to play a series of three games
for 500 side. The Tigers have de-
clined the proposition, and will not
play ball for wager of any kind,
The management Of the Shenandoah
team has offered the Pottsville State lea
que team 81, 900 guarantee for ten Sunday
games, but the offer has been refused
because Pottsville base ball patrons will
not stand by a club that plays Sunday
ball.
Work upon the grand stand at the
ball park has been commenced, and the
structure will be completed as soon as
possible. The seating capacity of the
stand will be nearly 500, and it will be
built with good and substantial lumber.
The Star club, of Freeland, will hold
its first annual picnic on Tuesday even
ing next. They intend to purchase uni.
forms with the proceeds. The Stars
have several good young players, and
are open for games with any club in the
region whose players are under 81.

HIGHLAND DOTS.

Saturday was pay day here and things
were pretty lively and interesting
among our foreign friends that evening
and all day Sunday. Grudges that they
had in keeping for each other for some
time were resurrected and the result
was fights were plentiful. Several of
the men who took part in the fights
were pretty badly used up whether they
deserved it or not. Some efforts should
be made to quell disturbances of this
sort, especially on Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. John McGill attended
the funeral of a relative at uazleton
this week.
Miss Matte Brown, student of
Stroudsburg normal school, is at home
on vacation.
Miss Hannah Gallagher, of Philadei-
phla, spent a few hours here visiting
her sister, Mrs. James Wilson.
The collieries are working very good
this month and there are prospects for
Sleduy tllle next ulOnln.
John McGill will return tomorrow
from Stroudsburg school, from which
institution he has graduated.
Quite number of our young people
attended the picnic held by Camp 255,
P. o. S. of A., at Farchild's grove on
Saturday evening,
1t was a disappointment to some of
our residents that the excursion of the
Young Mems Society, of Freeland, tc
Glen Onoko on Saturday was postponed
The Fourth of July is not receiving
any attention here yet and we presum,
those who wish to celebrate the day
will seek amusement elsewhere.

The Annexation Question.

Attorney E. A. Lynch, of Wilkes.
Barre, who was appointed commissioner
to audit the accounts of Freeland Dor.
ough and that portion of Foster town.
ship to be annexed to Freeland, has
completed his audit and will present the
same to the court on Saturday next. If
the audit is approved the Points and
Birvanton will then become part OF
the borough and the borough officers
will assume control of it.
In all probability the court will order
a special tax to be levied to pay off the
debt that will be caused by the taking of
so much of the township into the bor-
ough, or the township may have to pay
to the borough. This will be ascertained
when the report is presented.
The case of Margaret Finnegan against
the township for damages, which was
argued last April before the supreme
court, is still unsettled. The court has
not yet given an opinion. If it is decid
ed against the township part of thi:
claim will have to be paid by those who
are coming into the borough.
As soon as the audit is approved steps
will be taken to have the town divided
into wards at the September term of
court, so as to be in time for the Novem
Der election.

Commissioner Allen Not Guilty.

After being locked up twenty-five
hours the jury in the case of Charles F.
Allen, Schuylkill's county commissioner
charged by Major Losch, secretary of
the Republican county committee, with
bribery and violating the election laws,
rendered verdict of not guilty and dis
posed of the costs by placing two-thirds
on Allen and one-third on Losch.
Allen was elected last fall on the Re-
publican ticket. He made deal with
John P. Martin, the Democratic minori-
ty commissioner and diyided his patron
age. This suit was brought after this
deal was made and an attempt was
made to prove that Allen secured his
election by bribery and fraud.

and vigorous campaign in this state.
His Democracy is of the kind that at
tracts voters to the party, and he can be
depended upon to reduce Hastings
majority many thousands below what it
would be with less aggressive leader.
The battle for tariff reform he has waged
in the citadel of protection for fifteen
years gave him a record that can be
pointed to with pride by every Demo
crat in Pennsylvania, and no citizen
will have cause to regret giving him a
vote if he should be elected.

Mysterious Absence of a merchant.

Miller II. Cooke, wholesale flour
and feed merchant of Wilkes Barre, has
mysteriously disappeared, Mr.. Cooke
left his home on Monday evening at 6
o'clock to call on some people in Wyom-
ing, near there, with whom he had bust
ness relations. Not returning at mid
night his wife became greatly alarmed
and neighbors notified the police. A
search was made throughout the city,
but without avail and detectives are now
engaged on the case. They traced Mr..
Cooke to Wyoming, where he had called
on his friends, and left about o'clock.
AS yet they have been unable to gain
any further trace of him.

Advertising Never Sleeps.

The public looks upon the advertising
of a merchant as thermometer of his
business. If it is large and we'll defined,
they believe he deserves and is enjoying
prosperity, and so patronize him. If, on
the other hand, it is small and contract
ed, it gives the appearance of poor bus
mess, and thus freezes away custom
Advertising, like the stars, never sleeps

The commission in lunacy in the case
of Jacob Gould, of Salem township, this
county, decided that he was insane when
he died and when he made his will.
Gould was worth $4,000 or 1000 and
was bachelor. He labored under the
hallucination that he was very poor and
had to sell his farm, which he dis
posed of to his nephew, Stephen Gould,
for $4,000, aprice considered very low
The heirs ask for commission in
lunacy, which has been hearing evidence
for month, and the verdict just render
ed is in their favor, that he was of not of
sound mind at the time he sold the
farm. There are forty heirs in
terested. The nephew to whom the
farm was sold will carry the casesto the
supreme court.

Slayish and Creek Union.

The Slavsh and Greek Union of Penn.
sylvania held its annual state conven-
ton in Hazleton this week. Thirty
seven branches of the union were
represented. After hearing the reports
of the several standing committees, the
work of revising the bylaws was taken
up and consumed the greater part of
the session. 1t was decided to pay $500
upon the death of member, and $3.50
upon the death of a members wife.

Cannot Select n Site.

From the Wilkes Barre Leader
The county commissioners had another
conference with Judges Rice and Wood:
ward on Monday evening relative to the
courthouse site, but no conclusion was
reached. Judge Woodward favors some
other place that the Square, while Judge
Rice is non-committal-thinks the judges
should not take any part in making the
selection. Plans of Boston architect
were also examined, but no plans will be
adopted until place to put the new
building has been agreed upon. 1t is a
knotty question and worries the com.
missioners not little.

Making a Success of 1t.
From the Hazleton Standard.

From the Hazleton Standard.
The coal washery, or breaker of the
new Ebervale Coal Company, is now on
the high road to prosperity. One hun
dred and twenty-five men are now en-
ployed and about 250 tons of coal are
prepared for market daily, but the pro-
duct will in a short time be increased to
$50 tons daily. The greatest drawback,
at the present time is in getting men
to do the work. The culm banks from
which the coal is taken yield from so to
60 per cent, the latter average being
realized only from the lump banks.

Against Sunday Base Ball.

On Sunday the Harrisburg State league
team vent to Shenandoah and played a
game with the team of that place.
There were $500 spectators. On Mon
day the management and players of the
home team were again arrested. The
clergymen are making determined
fight against Sunday ball playing. They
petitioned the borough council to act, but
that body side tracked the matter
Then the ministers got up big petitions
asking Land Agent Frank Carter to
annul the lease, the base ball ground
being located on land owned by the
Philadelphia and Reading Company
There is nothing in the lease to prevent
Sunday games, and the petitions arrived
too late to oust the team until the expira-
of the lease on September next.

famous paintings, and portraits of his
father and mother and other persons
closely related to or intimately associated
with him, accompanying an interesting
account by Miss Ida M. Tarbell, Of his
career down to the time he assumed the
command Of the army in Italy. The por-
traits are from a very large and carefully
chosen collection made by the Hon.
Gardiner g. Hubbard. and MIR. Hubbard
himself introduces them with a valuable
letter describing the classification and
VARYING merits of the existing portraits
of Napoleon. II the succeeding parts of
the series maintain the high level of this
one. and there is every reason to believe

that they have $50 notable pictures yet

| whole, one Of the most attractive pro
ducts thus far of the recent Napoleon

MANIA FOR REFORM.
The New Woman Would Rather Reform
Something Than Vote.

The New Woman Would Rather Reform
Something Than Vote.
(From the Milwaukee Journal.)
One of the most distressing SYMPTOMS
of the new ona is her mania for re-
form. She has reform on the brain.
The wheels, as they buzz in the head,
spell nothing but reform. For even her
reform she must be original and start
ling. She would rather reform some
thing than vote. And that is sayieg a
great deal.
A st. Louis woman, and a real nice
woman, too, she is said to be, is reform
ing smokers. Cigars, cigarettes, pipes,
everything with fire on the end is under
her ban. Mankind must not smoke.
This is the way she says she is doing it.
When she gets the address of a man
who smokes she begins to lombard him
with literature, whose purpose is
to convince him what a nasty habit
smoking is. She has great stacks Of
this literature and he gets it all in small
doses at regular intervals. When he is
supposed to be fully prepared she calls
on him and labors with him personally.
Be he friend or stranger, patrician or
plebeian, the treatment is the same.
She invsdes his shop or his office and
hangs on like a life insurance agent.
She says that ordinarily men treat her

The prices being realized in the New
York dispersal sale this week are dis
couragingly low, many royalty bred
brood mares in foal to favorite stations
being Negotiated from s25 to $50, and
one animal was knocked down for $40.
The average prices were much lower
than obtained last week in the Chicago
combination sale and western breeders
will find the garden city the leading
market of the world for the light har-
ness horse. The uncertainty of racing
affairs in the eastern states owing to
the provisions in the Ives bill and other
aggressive laws has turned the light
harness racing interests west and south,
and without a radical change of policy
the eastern value of the trotter and
PAGER will soon be measured by his road
qualities and not his earning capacity
on the turf. One OF the noticeable feat
ures Of the New York sale was the pres
ence of western horsemen, who paid the
strongest prices realized on any of the
consignment.
1t is regretted that trotting bred stock
is selling so low in sympathy with the
general depreciation of all other grades
of horses. The conditions which created
fabulous prices have changed. Breed
ers are no longer active competitors. but
sellers, and animals are priced according
to their road qualities and value for
racing purposes. The demand for road
sters of the eastern states will, no doubt.
continue active, hut as the racing affairs
of the country gravitate to the west Chi
cago is destined to greater prominence
as a market for the light-harness per
former. Choicely bred brood mares
and stations are not in strong
demand in the breeding world, as
more studs are being negotiated than
will supply the new establishments. The
future value of the trotter and PAGER
will largely be determined by Legislation
increasing or diminishing his earning
capacity, and if forced to race in the
south and west by the Puritanical laws
of the Eastern States, the future home
and breeding territory of the harness
racer will be the Ohio and Mississippi
valleys, with Chicago as the natural
market of the industry. Like all other
enterprises the price Of t~rotters and pa.
GERS will be governed by the great law
of supply and demand.
