CHANGE OF
LOCATION.
Inspector in Town Seeking New
Post Office Quarters.
A CHANGE WILL BE MADE.
It is Believed That the Office VIII be
Moved Back to the Old Place on
West Centre Street.
A CHANGE WILL BE MADE.

1t is more than likely that in the near
future the location of the local postoffice
will be changed. PostofIice Inspector
Owings, of Washington, was in town yes
terday and spent most of the day looking
at available places. 1t is not known what
recommendation he will make to the de
partment, or what place he will recon-
mend, but it is quite certain that he win
recommend a change of location.
1t seems that the owner of the premises
now occupied is not satisfied with the rent
he has been receiving and recently inti-
mated to Postmaster Mellet that the
steam heat would be cut off if additional
rent could not be secured. An increased
rent can hardly be paid, as the govern
ment only allows a fixed sum for rent,
heat and light-S375 per year-and should
an increase be made it would come out of
the postmaster's pocket.
The rumor that the postofiice is to be
removed to Postmaster Mellet's building,
on East Centre street, is without fouuda-
tion. In the first place Mr.. Mellets
property as arranged at present is not
urge enough and, secondly, there is a
saloon in the basement and the govern
ment will not allow any of it's postal
branches to be located in the same build
ing with a saloon. The Franey building,
corner of Main and Oak streets, has been
suggested as site and inspected, but as
there is also saloon in the cellar Of this
building it will not be considered.
Among the places Inspector Owings
visited yesterday were the Higgins prop
erty on South Main street, near the First
National Bank, the Ferguson's theatre
building and the store rooms in the
Ferguson Hotel building, on the Centre
street side. The postoffice was located at
the latter place before it was established
at its present quarters, and it is generally
believed that it will be moved back there.
Inspector Owings left for Minersville last
evening.

A New Branch.

The Standard Oil Company is making
arrangements to extend its distributing
stations in this region and in the near
future the Shenandoah and Mahanoy
City territory will be separated. The
customers at the latter place are now
supplied from the Shenandoah station.
When the change goes into effect Maha-
noy City will have a station of its own
and it will be placed in charge of Will
lam Whitman, Howard E. Deisher re,
naming here. Mr.. Willman is getting
ready to move TO Mahanoy City.

Congressman Reilly.

Hon. James b. Reilly, the Democratic
candidate for Congress, is making a most
vigorous, though exceedingly quiet cam
paign. He is not depending upon promi-
ses, but on his record of the past and when
election day arrives his constituents will
attest their confidence in intelligence,
ability and integrity by giving him rous-
ing majority in all the districts that stood
by him before and many new ones. Good
Democrats and Republicans with sound
judgment will give Mr.. Reilly their votes
this fall and again return him to Congress-

The strong Mt. Carmel eleven will line
up against our boys at the Trotting park
tomorrow for the first time this season.
This club is certainly strong one, not
having been defeated yet. Our boys are
confident of success and are in good con

urday against Ashland was certainly a
good one and should they continue their
work will capture the county champion
ship. The boys should be given every
kind of encouragement as they are play
ing good ball. The Pottsville team, which
was to have played here tomorrow, post.

ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH.

in Bed.

An Old Miner Found Dead by His Wife
in Bed.
Patrick Haley, an aged man and former
miner who resided at Brownsville with
his equally aged wife as his only compan-
ion, was found dead in his bed yesterday
morning. The discovery was made by his
wife and she was prostrated by the shock.
Haley was about y years old and his wife
is about the same age.
The widow says her husband retired
early Wednesday evening in apparently
good health and seemed to be enjoying
an easy slumber in the morning, but
when she went to arouse him at about
ten O'Clock yesterday morning she found
him dead, Undertaken O'Neill took
charge of the body. 1t is supposed death
was due to heart disease.

seven minutes late, but got to Delano on
time, having made the run of % miles in
23 minutes, including three stops. The

considered an exceptionally good one, as
the run was up very heavy grade from
Quakake to Delano.

WHAT ABOUT IT?
Why the Delay in Selecting a Second
Ward Polling Placer

Several weeks ago the HERALD called
attention TO the determination of j. X. p.
Soheify not to allow his place to be used
as the Second ward polling place any lon
ger. Considerable prominence was given
to the announcement and it was urged
that change Of place be arranged at
once. For some unknown reason no atten-
tion was given to the matter The election
is now near at hand and the Second ward
has no polling place. Mr.. Schieay has
again stated positively to a HERALD re-
porter that he will not allow the polling
place to be located at his house this fall.
The change should be made at once and
the new place selected generously adver-
tised. If this is not done many votes may
be lost. People not aware of the change
will go to the old stand and may not have
time to go to the new place

When Max Reese, the auctioneer, opened
his place of business yesterday morning
he found the floor strewn with empty
shoe boxes and the miscellaneous stock
on the counters and shelves scattered
about the place in manner that showed
a hasty inspection had been made during
the night An investigation showed that
the front door of the store had been
opened during the night and quantity
of stock had been stolen. By forcing a
piece of tin fastened over an opening
in one Of the doors the robbers had little
difficulty in reaching the latch inside.
Mr.. Reese kept the matter quiet yesterday
in the hope that some clue to the robbers
or stolen goods could be secured and
stated last night that he was confident a
discovery or recovery would be made very
soon. He estimates that over one hum
dred dollars worth of goods, principally
shoes that had been sent him for sale on
commission, were stolen.

There was another stir among the men,
bers of the local Evangelical church con.
gregation yesterday. 1t was caused by
another visit from Rev Newhart, of Potts
vile, the Esherite clergyman who is try
ing to get possession of the church under
the decision of the Supreme Court in the
Reading case. Rev. Newhart secured the
keys of the churches at Ashland and
Locust Dale on Wednesday and came
here yesterday to get the keys of the local
church. He called upon the trustees and
showed them a letter from his counsel,
Ex-Judge Ryou, in which a formal de-
mand was made for the keys, but the
trustees refused to surrender ON the
ground that the congregation had decided
to hold possession until ordered to vacate
by the courts of Schuylkill county.
They claim that, while under the general
effect of the Supreme Court decision the
church must ultimately be surrendered,
the status of the congregation here and
that of the church involved in the case
under the decision are not the same, in
that in the Reading case the congregation
was divided and here the congregation is
united against the Esherite- -Bowmanite
faction, that the latter haven't a member
and not one of the faction contributed a
cent towards building the church. Under
these facts and others the local congrega-
tion is still hopeful that the court may
take a different view of the matter when
the proper time comes

EVANGELICAL DEAD LOCK.
Rev. Newhart Makes Another Demand

Among the commercial travellers who
were guests at the Ferguson House last
evening was one who seemed a tower of
flesh. He attracted much attention and
it seemed to annoy him considerably.
Whenever he observed any one cycling him
he would shoot back a dagger glance
which generally caused the locker to turn
his head. Ex-Tax Receiver John A.
Titman is considered one of the heavy
weights of the town, but when he took
seat beside the stranger he found that
he was comparatively a lightweight.
Almost everybody in and about the hotel
devised scheme to learn the weight of
the stranger, but all failed. Titman got
the nearest to the mark, but got no salts
faction. He and the stranger sat beside
each other for an hour or more indulging
in a most friendly and evidently a mutu-
ally beneficial conversation, but whenever
Titman showed an inclination to talk
about weights the stranger would open a
recital of some interesting experience dur
ing his trips through various parts of the
world He had been a great traveller.
"You must pull the scales down pretty
WE'LL" Titman would remark. 81 guess
do the stranger would answer, and he
would then branch off and the anxious
public was obliged to let it go at that.
The estimates ran from $50 to 475 pounds
and the majority Of the guesses were near
the latter figure.

out in an address to the public in
reply TO the report of Mr.. Blount.
The answer of Stevens makes a.
really serious sort of a compile

all that has been ascribed to Stew

matter can now be readily under

not diplomat in the judgment OF
Mr.. Stevens and this is an awful
crime 1t does not count for any
thing that Mr.. Blount had for
years been the chairman of the
committee on foreign relations in
congress. and has probably a better
understanding of the relation than
any other man in this country.
He was not diplomat as the word
Is understood in Stevens circles, by
which is meant that Blount possess
ed none of the arts of fiunkeyism
and did not go about salaaming and
did not give any big receptions
where everybody goes and gets
drunk. No, Mr.. Blonnt refused

TOPICS OF THE DAY

The move to separate the
Offices of President and Minister
Of Foreign Affairs appears to rs
intended to conceal a Niger IN
the fence. By act Of the Provisi
onaI Government the duties
formerly devolving ON the
Sovereign under the Constitution
now deyolye in the President
In addition he has to act as
chairman of the Legislature
unless he should allow the Vice
President to take his place.
These are all the official duties of
the President. Heretofore ac-
cording to the P G and its
organs. the Sovereign had no
dnties. aud no work, and it was
useless extravaganza paying a
salary for the Office. According
to the same sources the Minister
of Foreign Affairs had also moth
ing to do. Now it appears there
is nothing to do enough for two,
and at two salaries. 1t is on all
fours with the Legation at Wash
ington. Under the Monarchy
one minister was enough Now
there are two and clerk at $500
a month. Can anybody see the
niger in the fence We guess so.

DO You LIE 7
Most People Crowd the Limit

IT sounds like rather sweep
ing statement to assert that not
one ordinary person in a hundred
;s in the habit of adhering strict
- to the truth. This. however.
has been the subject OF some
discussion in CERTAIN circles with
the conclusion as given above
There rs no positive intention to
state what is false neither IS the
exaggeration in some cases at all
marked, but. according to the
New York Ledger, there as de
cided tendency tn crowd the
limit of actual truth. and make
matters appear in light more
favorable to the speaker or less
SO to some one else.
While it may be said that this
is only natural. it can, with equal
propriety, be urged that. If 1T IS
natural it should be bred out OF
humanity at the earliest possible
ags. But instead of this. the
home influences of most children
and young people tend directly
TO foster it. The child who
...speaks up and tells the best
story to get the most notice. and
is often praised and fattered TO
its face. or complimentary
speeches made of its smartness
are repeated in its hearing.
Gradually the habit of embeliish-
ment grows upon it until 1t be-
comes second nature, and the
child could scarcely confne itself
to the truth if it tried however
much.
This is the age of sensational
ism and unless every one is able
to tell story rs good as his
| fellows he feels himself somewhat
behind the times. Indeed, to be
a good stoly-teller is to have a
passport to general favor and the
I assurance of welcome almost
every where. The Imagination is
therefore, drawn upon by those
who aspire to shine in this particu-
lar. and every incident of nature
in the least degree unusual is
stored up in the memory against q
time when some other item may be
added to it, and from all of which
composite yarn may be spun
which will interest the listening
crowd at the club room or the
corner grocery And after the
habit of establishment has been
cultivated in storytelling it is
very difficult to confhe the tongue
strictly to the truth in narratine
ordinary events.

Our attention has been called
to several instances lately where
American born residents who
have been employed by the gov
eminent as police officers have
been dismissed, because they
emphatically refused, when asked
by marshal Hitchcock, to take
up arms against American troops
if a landing should be enforced.
We have no reason to doubt the
truth of these statements aud we
can hardly say that such, action
is surprise to us. The Provis-
ional Government is composed.of
men who are Americans in their
mouth. but who in their hearts
only recognize allegiance and
fealty to their own dear selves
purses and personal gain. But it is
we'll worth which forthe American
representative and for all true
Americans to remember the char
acter of the men who, some day
will come around and willingly
claim immunity for their sinces
because they are citizens of that
Great Republic on whose flag the,
to-day stand ready to fire.
