To lnqulrers.
The competition positively closes at 6
p. m, March is next.
Entries may be made at any time.
When sending in batch of votes II is
not necessary to write the name of the or
ganization voted for on each separate bal
lot. Do up your votes in a bundle, Sc
curing them together by pin or string,
and write the name of the lodge they are
intended for on the top ballot. That will
be sufficient. Only be sure that the bal
lots are secured so that they will not get
astray.
Voters do not have to make any pur-
chases OF the donors OF the piano in order
to vote. Everybody is entitled to vote as
is to cut the ballot out of THE NEWS and
send il to the Barnaby Company, where 1t
will be duly registered and filed. What
ever organization has secured the moet
votes gets the piano. That's all there is
to it.
The price OF The NEWS is one cent.
This price Is invariable except to news
dealer .---, to news boys.
No pa, - will be available at THE NEWS
Office to anyone at less price. As mat
ter OF fact this price Is 25 cents a hundred
cheaper than the wholesale price of
two-cent paper. The decision to
sell the paper at the regular price to other
than dealers and newsboys, Is based on our
usual practice. We have twico had, within
few weeks, order for five thousand
papers, containing O certain article which
the buyer desired to mail throughou the
State having nothing TO do with the
piano contest-and the price demanded
End paid was fifty dollars. We will main
tain this rule during the piano
competition that all interested may
have an equally fair show
to secure their ballots without any dis
crimination In favor of those who con.
ceive the idea OF buying in large quantities
and perhaps securing all the votes they
want from an extra order for q particu-
lar edition OF the paper.
We do not propose that there shall be
any "junk" during the piano contest.
Any aud all papers returned and sent TO
the waste paper buyers will be torn
through the ballot so that 1t Will be
unavailable.
No one connected with THE NEWS Office
or with theJ. 3. Barnaby Company will
cut out or send in ballots.
No ballots will be printed except in the
regular edition OF THE NEWS.
The standing of the Barnaby Company,
who give the piano, and OF THE NEWS,
the medium OF their competition, is suffi-
cient to guarantee the friends OF he rival
organizations that not only Will
the contest be conducted strictly
on fair and square lines and
decided solely on the number OF votes
cast, but also that there shall be no
outlet for the procuring OF ballots
other than the channels that are
open to all alike; There nl,,,,o vii, Il,
any description and we will thank any OF
the friends OF the competing organizations
Cor information that seems 70 suggest
anything Of the sort.

THE LOCAL MARKET.
Bank Stocks Weak Because of Sew
eral Heavy Embarrassments.

Bank Stocks Weak Because of Sew
eral Heavy Embarrassments.
Business in the local market is quiet
and the principal part of what~ is done
Is outside OF the exchange. The
noticeably weak feature is bank stocks.
They are exceptionally dull, owing
largely, il Is understood, TO the recent
extensions asked for by large manufac-
turing and other concerns. Those en-
barrassments which chiefly affect the
banks, who hold much OF the paper of the
firms involved, are those of the Kent &
Locomotive Works and the
Earl p. Mason Land Company,
There is nothing new in the announce
ment that these houses asked for an
extension, but the delay in fixing up"
matters is causing more or less
uncomfortableness in financial circles,
and while it Is stated that the
banks have no fear but what
everything will come out all right in time,
public confidence Is being shaken and
those who were willing two weeks ago to
take the notes of either firm at liberal
discount are beginning to feel that they
would rather have the cash.
OF course the Il. p. Mason Land Com
many would not have {" been in the hole "
II it had not been for the locomotive
company. The two are closely al
lied. Way back in war times
1t will be remembered, the late Earl p.
Mason was at the head of the Burnside
Rife Works, from which the Rhode
Island Locomotive Works sprang.
After MIR. Mason's death his various in
terests were merged into the land COM
pany, having several strings to its bow,
one of the principel companies interested
In which is understood to be the Conti-
mental Steamboat Company.
The Rhode Island Locomotive Works, as
exclusively published in The NEWS, re-
Gently had three trustees appointed,
by mutual agreement, and are still
running but no extension has yet
been granted by the creditors and
until that is done things will remain in
"statu quo" The same Is true OF the
Kent a. Stanley Company and the Earl p.
Mason Land Company, hence the bank
stocks are weak and are likely to remain
so for some time.

LOVE IN TOWN.

They had no partings in the wood,
No meetings in the lonely lane;
Beside the sea they never stood,
Nor watched the sunset after rain.
Their pathway was the busy street,
Their trysting place the office stair;
And yet know joy more complete
Did never visit mortal pair
And why should rustic love alone
BE decked with all poetic art?
These dull, gray city walks have
known
The beating of Il nations heart.
The weary workers come and go,
The secret Of each soul is dumb;
Yet still at times a radiant glow
Across their wayworn lives may
And these. my happy lovers, knew
Hard toll, small wage and humble
fare;
The skies they saw were never blue,
But love made gladness everywhere.
His step upon the office floor
Was sweet to her as robins song;
Her face that passed the open door,
For him made sunshine all day long.

New Mining Safety Lan,n.

A safety lamp for mines, operating
upon peculiar principle, is being used
in Germany. The lamp is not closed in
any special way, like other lamps: It
matters very little whether or not the
workman, disregarding the regulations
OF the mine, succeeds in opening the
lamp, for there is a special arrange
ment by means of which the flame is
extinguished at the same instant. In
the interior of the lamp glass is a
spring: which is compressed when the
upper piece is screwed down, and
which enables a cap to operate upon
the wick in such a manner as to shift
1t aside, facilitating the lighting of the
lamp, and afterward the comhust1on
When the spring is worked in the con
trary direction the cap again operates
upon the wick, and the fame ceases
the moment the cap comes in contact
with the air. The lamp can be lighted
without being opened. Oil, benzine or
petroleum can be used as fuel.

Private Electric Elevator.

A we'll known electrical authority
has pointed out that it is now as easy
and cheap to have an electric elevator
in a private house as in a large Office
building. Stairs are literally 4 barbar-
ism to which women frequently owe
ill health and to which many delicate
persons may attribute the deprivation
Of the full enjoyment of their homes.
The cost of operating an electric ele-
vator in, say five-story house, max
ing fifty or sixty trips every day, will
not exceed So or 81 per month. The
devices for operating these elevators
have been so improved that an invalid
or a child can manage them. The old
lever arrangement can be dispensed
with and the elevator ascends or de-
sends on the pressure of a button. It
will stop only at each floor and will
start only when the elevator door is
closed.

while Mary exerted herself to please
her fathers guest, whose power and
connection with his business she well
knew. For the next two months Car
ter was constant visitor. Soon pres
ents came streaming in, a fine piano
replacing her little melodeon, music
books, fruit and flowers were daily
forwarded, and under these seductive
influences Mary McCauley developed
q warm regard for the giver. She had
abundant warning as to his character;
the housekeeper knew him we'll and
hated him vehemently, and did her
best to put the girl on her guard.
In the meantime her fathers affairs
were becoming more involved, and he
owed Carter more than the value Of
his plant, and was desperate at the
ruin that was Inevitable.
One day Carter made demand for
his money, showing that further ad-
vances We're out of the question. He
took supper with the family, and that
night had 4 long conversation with his
debtor, much Of which was overheard
by Mrs. Morgan.

A dismal, dreary. spot, an old fur

surrounded by thickets of impenetra-

covered with second growth pines, and
this is Gainesville, in the Lycoming
valley, and for the evil that was done
there the place is accused.
In the great iron boom of 1858 this
place was taken by a Scotch Irishman
named McCauley. It had originally
been a charcoal furnace and was
known as Folsom's. McCauley was a
tireless worker and we'll skilled in the
manufacture of iron, but he needed
capital, and was not very successful
In his extremity he borrowed some

daughter, girl of seventeen. He
built q neat cottage, and with the as
sistance Of the daughter and Welsh
woman named Morgan, began house.

world and make her living as teach

told her he could not spare her ser

One day a visitor came, who was re-
ceived by McCauley with servile def
erence. It was his creditor, Richard
Carter. He was IN Englishman Of
about forty, rather handsome, of the
t1orid, snowy type, genial and ELUSIVE

with him knew that, at bottom, he
was hard and INSCRIPTIONS, while in

BRITISH COLORS.

Last Time They Were Captured by
L.. An Enemy Was Memorable
The last occasion upon which the col
ors of British regiment have fallen
into an enemey's hands was. says one
OF Messrs. Cassell's publications, in
the Afghan war of 1S7S-SO. 1t was af-
ter the battle of Maiwand, when a
last determined stand was made by
100 officers and men of the Sixty-sixth
regiment. They fought on until eleven
men only We're left and a dog.
Lieut.. Barr fell dead across his col
colors.and Lieut.. Honeywood. although
wounded early in the engagement,
struggled to the garden where the
hnal stand was made, and he was shot
down while holding the color high
above his head. The dog fell into the
hands of the Afghans. but was recap
tured and subsequently returned to
London, only to meet his death by
