THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
Stocks and lsouds.

New York, Dec. 1s.-Stocks today were
more active, the sales footing up 2SA.oo
shares. The business was also better dis-
tributed than of late, the railways Tor the
first time in weeks figuring prominently IN
the dealings. Manhattan was the special
card, rising from lO2A to 107 on extensive
covering of short contracts. Nothing OF
definite character developed except that
long outstanding short interest had taken
fright and covered up. The squirt OF activ-
ity in Manhattan affected the bears IN
other railway issues and there was gem
eral covering movement all along the
line. In the rise which followed the Gran
gers, anthracite coalers and the Vander
bilts were most conspicuous and improved

BURNED THE BANNER.
A Harrisburg Darkey Broke Up the
Drifton Delegations Parade.

The scenes at Harrisburg before the
Republican state convention was held
were exciting. One, of particular in
terest to the people here, is mentioned
in the Philadelphia Record yesterday,
and reads as follows:
"A delegation of Luzerne county
workers from the fourth and sixth dis.
tricts,-. comprising IIazleton and the
surrounding sections, were the next tt
get here to the number of about 3,O0t
with a monster transparency bearing
the legend, ''For Hastings and Gilkcson
Fourth and Sixth Districts, Luzernc
County. The delegation is headed by
Daniel Coke, nephew of the late Eckley
Is. Coke and an enthusiastic Hastings
man. The delegation came on train of
Pullman cars drawn by brand-ncw
locomotive and named the Daniel H.
Hastings. Mr.. Coke himself ran the
locomotive to Harrisburg.
'They marched over the principal
streets. As they passed the Common
wealth hotel Governor Hastings appear
ed on the balcony at the corner and
stood there bowling as long as any of the
paraders remained in sight.
Disaster overlook the paraders, how
ever. The transparency was longer
than street car, and the men carried
it. As they turned the corner of Third
and Walnut streets, a colored man
suddenly dashed out of an allcy set fire
to the gauzy affair, and before the
paraders could recover from their sur
prise, had dashed away again as rapidly
as he came. Nearly every man in the
parade made break after the colored
man, but they never caught him. The
transparency was ruined and the parade
broken up.'

1t is almost a year since |. Refowich
reopened his clothing and gents furnish
ing store in Freeland. The exact date
is September 1, at which time the busi-
ness, for two years previous owned by
Jacobs Il Barasch, was again taken
charge of by the original proprietor,
and the record made by the establish
ment in the past twelve months exceeds
all other years by far This is state
ment that the proprietor guarantees,
and there is no telling to what extent
the business might not have increased
were it not for the condition of the
times in this vicinity during that period.
When Mr.. Refowich took charge last
year the business done required the at
tention of but four tailors. Since then
there has been thirty people employed
almost steadily in the manufacture of
the clothing he sells. In fact, the rush
upon the house has been so great at
times that work has actually been re-
fused. This was notably the case last
May, when Mr.. Refowich had to refuse
large order from the Freeland firemen
for white trousers, although two weeks
time was offered him to complete the
work.
The establishment has won for itself
a reputation for fair and honest dealing
with its patrons that few business men
would not give much to possess. The
good opinion of the house that is held
by the public is well-deserved. Its
manager, who, by the way, is Ike Refo-
wich, Jr., a nephew of the proprietor
and bright young man who under
stands cloth and clothing from A to u,
Is largely responsible for the increase of
trade that the house is enjoying. He
has complete charge of the business,
and, though modest and unassuming,
has proved himself hustler.
Another feature that has added to the
popularity of Refowich's store in the
custom-work trade is the fact that an
experienced New York cutter is employ
ed all the year round, gentleman who
is up to date in all departments of his
profession, and can give the patrons the
very latest in style while the manager
gives the very lowest in price.
1t is doubtful If any other establish
nent in the same line anywhere can
point to more successful year than has
been attained by Refowich's, and the
knowledge that Freeland numbers
among its business people such enter
prising men should be and is source OF
pride to to all who admire energy and
progress in any branch of trade.

Deafness Cannot bo Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the
eustachian tube. When this tube gets
infamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un-
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases ont of ten are caused by

A Scranton Man Made Happv.

Joseph Mcnamara, of Scranton, has
received letter from Ireland ac-
quainting him of the fact that bache-
lor uncle of his had died and left an
estate which is estimated to be worth in
the ncighborhood of 100000. The news
was received with exultation by Mr.. Nc
Namara and his wife, and by the next
mail they had letters speeding across the
Atlantic ocean calling for verilication
of the fortune intelligence. The pros
pective legatee is employed loading
coal in the Oxford shaft. He has been
married several years and has large
family of small children. He is indus
trious, and the intimation that he has a
prospective fortune in store has not
caused him to lie idle and quite work.
