THE SALOON QUESTION.

The members of the Retail Liquor Dealers
Association have had under consideration for
some time the reduction of the number of
saloons in this town, and any effort on their
part in this direction will be heartily seconded
by all intelligent and respectable citizens. The
keepers Of reputable and orderly saloons will
heartily indorse the project to rid their trade
Of a factor which only brings reproach upon
it and tends to demoralize the community
No legitimate interest would suffer if the
present number Of saloons in this town were
cut down one-half, while the public would be
q vast gamer. The license question in
Schuylkill county has come to that stage when
it behooves not only the men engaged in the
business but every parent, to assist in rem
edying the existing evils
Such movement need not be prompted by
puritanical or blue law motives nor desire
10 infringe the principle of personal lib
erty" A lessening of the number of saloons
would not prevent persons frsm obtaining
malt Or spirtuous drink if they wished to do
SO. Experience has simply demonstrated
that where saloons are in excess of the
natural wants of population: competition be-
comes SO sharp and close as to tempt their
propietors to exc out their meager profits by
converting their places into dens of vice and
crime, and the evil should be stopped. II is
the existence Of such low resorts, due to over
orOwding of the liquor business, which has
brought drinking places as a class into dis
repute and made it difficult to awaken public
interest in behalf of their owners It is to be
hoped that the liquor dealers association will
see the wisdom of lending their assistance in
enforcing the Brooks high license law, and
thus stamping out the low resorts,

ambassadors, and a second in Importance
only to the snub administered by the sui
tan to Great Britain in decorating Bahri
Pasha and giving him the command of the
troops going to Zeitoun, after he had been
removed from a governorship at the in
stance Of the British ambassador, Sir
Philip Currie, for his i'll treatment Of Ar
menians.
AS to order being restored in the dis
turbed districts it need only be said that
the mobilization of about 100, 600 troops to
be sent to these districts is progressing as
actively as the Turkish government can
push such an undertaking, hampered as it
is by lack of funds and the incompetency
of it's officials. Then again, advices just
received here announce fresh disturbances
at Marash, Bitlis and Sivas, with their at
tendant massacres.
1t was stated in European official circles
here that as a result of an additional ex-
change of views between the powers
through their representatives here and at
the different capitals, it is believed that a
joint course of action, involving a display
of naval and, possibly, military force, has
already been decided upon, with a view of
restoring order in Armenia, recent events
having GltdIlg uCIllOnhuItltu ulldu bllG SllI-
tan has no intention of really carrying out
the scheme for reform agreed upon some
time ago after so much delay and annoy
ance. Certain it is that the sultan will
not be allowed to trife with the ambas-
sadors for many days longer.
A prominent member of the diplomatic
corps is quoted as saying that "the end of
all this wretched business is fast approach
ing" 1t is understood that the powers
have about decided that further identical
notes" or other such communications are
useless in the case of Abdul Hamid, and
that only prompt and efficient military ac-
tion is likely to have any influence upon
him.
According to official Turkish advioes re-
ceived by the government the Armenians
of Zeitoun have, since capturing the bat
TALON of Turkish troops and practically
obtaining possession of the city, attacked
the village of Tchoukour Hissar, killed
thirty-fve Mussulmans, pillaged a house
at Dunghel and carried off the arms and
cattle of the inhabitants of that neighbor-
hood The Armenians are said to have as
sassinated the secretary of the collector of
customs of that part of the country.
The vail of Adana, town situated some
distance from Zeitoun and nearer the
coast, telegraphs that 200 Armenians, dis
guised as Circassians, have attacked and
plundered the Mussulman village of lei
tunbeli and Narl, killing a number of the
Inhabitants.
1t is believed in some Armenian quarters
here that the estimate of 10000 Armenians
killed during the recent massacres may
turn out to be considerably under the real
total, and that the number may come
nearer 1900 than 10000.

Many Lives Lost in School Fire.

GRANA, West Indies Nov 13-A school
building here in which 15O children were
present caught fire, and before anything
could be done the whole building was
ablaze, and in spite of heroic efforts the
building was destroyed. Thirty-one charred
bodies, including that of the teacher have
so far been taken out. The fire is believed
to be of incendiary origin and two boys
who had been severely punished by the
teacher and suspended from school are be-
lieved to be the authors of the crime. They
have been arrested, but so far have not
confessed

A cONVlcT'S FORTUNE.
Stolen Property Amounting to St7O,O0O

Stolen Property Amounting to Sl7O,OOO
Unearthed by Boston's Police.
BosToN Nov. 13.-The arrest of James
Stevens ChafTee, of this city, by the police
and the recovery of over $4,000 worth of
stolen plundor was followed last night by
even more startling discoveries. In addi-
tion to the property recovered on Monday
stocks and bonds to the value Of Sl4l 800
(par value) were brought to theinspector's
office An agreement was found signed
by Mrs. William Barrett by which she
turned over all her husbands property to
Chaffee. Barrett is notorious criminal
now serving a life sentence for murder in
this state, and Chaffee claimed that all the
stuff which was found on his premises has
been given to him by Barrett in return for
his having spent great deal of money in
Barrett's defense at the time of the muir
der trial The charge against Chaffee is
receiving stolen goods while knowing them
TO have been stolen.
The total amount of plunder secured by
the police now reaches at least $4,000 in
value.
Mrs. Ames, widow Of the late Million
aire Frederick l.. Ames, of this city, called
at the inspectors office and identified a
number of articles which were stolen from
the Ames residence several years ago. She
also recognized several articles which were
stolen from the North Easton residence of
the late Ex-Governor Oliver Ames. Mr..
Kidder, of the State street banking firm of
Kidder, Peabody g. Co., the discovery of
whose collection of postage stamps in
Chaffee's possession led to the latter's ar
rest, also called. He, too, recognized some
of the goods which We're stolen during a
robbery at his Milton residence six years
ago.
The police do not place much faith in
the story that Chaffee is a brother of Will
lam Barrett.

The wife of Mr.. Leonard Wells, of East
Brimfeld, Mass, had been suffering from

sleep or hardly keep still, when Mr.. Holden,
the merchant there sent her bottle of Cham
berlain's Pain Balm, and asked that she give
it a thorough trial. On meeting Mr.. Wells
the next day he was told that she was all
right, the pain had left her within two
hours, and that the bottle Of Pain Balm was
worth $500 if it could not be had for less.

Electric Bitters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any
season, but perhaps more generally needed in
the spring, when the languid exhausted
feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and
sluggish and the need of tonic and altera-
tive is felt. prompt use of this medicine
has often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act more
surely in counteracting and freeing the sys-
TEN from the maarial poison. Headache,
Indigestion, Constipation, Dizziness yield to
Electric Bitters. Only fifty cents per bottle
at A. Wasley's drug store.

SUPREME JUSTICE CARLISLE.
The Secretary May be Appointed to Justice
,Jackson's Vacant Seat.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The Post today
says that Secretary Carlisle may be ap-
pointed to the supreme court bench to sue
ceed the late Justice jackson. The Post
says that some time ago the president had
practically fixed upon Judge Rufus Peck
ham, of the New York court of appeals, for
the place. 1t continues: GAN these plans
are said to have been changed by recent
elections Had Kentucky elected Demo
cratic legislature it was expected that
Mr.. Carlisle would step from the cabinet
into the senate. This anticipation cannot
now be realized The political revolution
in Kentucky has also materially affected
Mr.. Carlisle's chances for the presidential
nomination. Should Mr.. Carlisle leave
the treasury his place will undoubtedly be
filled by New York man, and Charles 5.
Fairchild is said to have been practically
determined upon for the position

Cnptain BreWer Must Not Play Football.
CAMBRIDGE, Nov ia great commo-
tion was caused at Harvard yesterday
afternoon by the announcement that the
faculty had requested Captain Brewer, Of
the Varsity football eleven, to refrain
from taking part in any football contests
during the remainder of the season. In
other words, the faculty has placed him
on what is termed athletic probation"
for neglecting his studies This is the first
time in the history of Harvard college
that such action has been taken by the
faculty. The students characterized the
action as another blow to football. Cap
tain Brewer will still play in practice, and
do all he can to aid the team. Edward
