A good deal of excitement has been
caused in Plymouth over the notification
by the Lchigh and Wilkesbarre Coal
Company that if their employees did not
pay the saloon-kccpers what they owed
them they would be discharged. Some
time ago, Mrs. Rooney, widow, who
runs u soloon in Plymouth, negotiated
with the coal company for the purchase
of a lot. During the talk with the agent
of the company she remarked that she
could purchase two lots and pay cash
for them if she could collect the money
the employees of the company owed her,
The company agreed to the woman's
proposal and at the payday previous to
the last the debtors were privately noti-
fed to pay Mrs. Rooney what they owed
her. Some of the men obeyed the COM
pany's orders, but others refused. The
matter dragged along until Saturday,
when the men received decisive orders
to pay Immediately or they would be
dis 'hargcd. Three of the men refused
on the spot and were told their services
were not needed any longer.

ed, the Junior Order of United American
Mechanics of Pennsylvania on Tuesday
signalized its thrty-sixth annual state
meeting at McKeesport. The city is
decorated in honor of the event. Mayor
Andre delivered the address of welcome

that premiums be offered for new coIn-

that the state council is on the verge
bankruptcy.

charged with the murder of Fred T..
Bittenbender, of Nanticoke, was called
for trial in Luzerne county court. At
torney Lewis Dewart, of Sunbury, for
the defendant asked to have the case
continued until November next. Judge
Woodward said owing to the over
crowded trial list the case must be tried
and he assigned John O'Neill and p. NJ.
Thornton to assist in defending the
prisoner. The call of jurors went on
then, and among those accepted on the
case were George Cutler, of South Heb
erton, and Edward Allen, of Hazleton.
The murder occurred last July. Bit
tender, who was school director, went
to the school building of which Ecliert
was janitor and found fault with him
about the condition of the school. AT
ter Bittenbendcr left Eckcrt followed
him. They met few hours later and
Eckert shot the director dead without a
word of warning.
The prisoner took the stand in his
own defense on Tuesday and said that
twelve years ago he sustained painful
injury on the head, and since then he
had periods of abstraction of mind. On
the day of the murder he remembered
nothing from the time he left the house
until he found himself in the lookup.
The trial is expected to be ended to-
day and verdict rendered this evening.

Reserve Below the Dead Line"

New York, Sept 17.-William E. Cur
tis, assistant secretary of the treasury,
arrived in town yesterday, back from
his recent trip to Bar Harbor. His pres
ence in town and the conference he had
here prior to his start for Bar Harbor
with assistant treasurer Conrad n. Jor-
dan of the United States sub-treasury
and the members of the firm of j. p.
Morgan a. Co., have resulted in rumors
that another government bonds issue is
at hand. These rumors are numerous
in Wall street to-day. The sta te of the
government gold reserve, which has been
reduced below the 800, 900, 600 mark by
recent Withdrawals of gold from the
sub-treasury, the condition of the foreign
exchanges and the apparent unfavorable
prospects of any speedy improvement in
the situation were pointed out as factors
which make bond issue probable.
Docs Not Consider 1t Desirable.

seen at the sub-treasury this morning

No Occasion for a New Issue.

If there is any intention on the part of
the government to place new issue of
bonds, prior to October 1, Secretary
Carlisle declines to admit it. He says
that he is no way responsible for the
sensational reports floating around in
financial circles, and he cannot under
take to confirm or deny them. So far as
the present condition of the treasury is
concerned, there is no occasion for n new
issue of bonds, and those treasury
officers who are usually in the confidence
of the secretary in making the prelimi-
nary arrangements for such transac-
tion assert positively that there is moth
ing in sight to indicate such an act on
the part of the government.

An Enectiye Dry shamnoo.

Many women who have luxurious
tresses and who take cold easily are
obliged to forego washing them as
often as they would like because of the
difficulty of getting them dry quickly.
For such, dry shampoo is the next
best thing, and. if carefully and thor
oughly done. it removes the accumu-
lated dust and dandruff almost as well
as washing. The hair should be shaken
loosely out over the shoulders and the
head manipulated with the fingers till
all foreign matter is well loosened and
scattered through the hair, which
should then be parted in different
places all over the head, and the parts
cleansed with stiff little brush, after
which the entire head and hair should
be very thoroughly brushed in sections
till the dandru1f is brushed out as much
- possible, when. some good hair tonic
or scalp cleanseffnay be rubbed on and
the snarls engendered by the whole
process gently combed out, and the
ends Of ne hair clipped. This should
always he done once a nonth to pro-
mote the growth of the hair.

WATER AS A COSMETIC.
More Valuable and Effective Than Expen
siVe Lotions

More Valuable and Effective Than Expen-
sive Lotions.
A pretty complexion is a boon to
every woman who is so fortunate as to
have it, for it not only adds to her
beauty, but it testifes to the good
health of its possessor.
Consequently it may be, when not us
good as it should be, improved by care
of the diet, by the proper use of the
bath, and by avoiding whatever makes
one i'll, or even dull and apathetic.
One of the most vexing of the enc
mics of a good complexion are black
heads, or flesh worms, which are very
liable to degenerate into ugly-looking
white pimples, by no means endowed
with life of their own, although this
is the general belief concerning them.
They are simply the result of unclean-
illness, for the oily matter exuded by the
pores forms these black specxs, which
dishonor the prettiest face and are in
reality nothing but accumulated dirt.
When blackheads have once been
permitted to form it is quite difficult
matter to get rid of them Many APP
plications are recommended for the
purpose; for instance bicarbonate of
soda dissolved in hot water, borax
water, white of an egg applied to the
skin on retiring to bed, pure alcohol,
etc, but, besides being irritating to
the tissues, all these substances are only
successful for brief period, and when
toe often repeated are worse than the
evil they are supposed to cure.
The only way of getting permanently
rid of blackheads is to thoroughly wash,
night and morning, with water as
warm as can be borne, and then battle
the face for ten minutes at least in tepid
milk by the aid of soft and very fine
sponge. Continue this for month,
and you will find that your skin has be-
come pure and sweet as baby's.
