Special Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, May II, 1895.
Hon. Thomas B. Reed paid Washing
ton an unannOunced visit this week
which started no end of stories about
his having been sent for In connection
with the calling of an extra session Of
congress and his candidacy for the re-
publican presidential nomination. None
of these things had any connection with
Mr.. Reeds visit. He was brought to
Washington by one of the most holy
tier which binds men ogether-frlend-
ship. The condition of Representative
Hit of ILL.,, who has been dangerously
i'll and who is not yet entirely out of
danger was the magnet which drew MIR.
Reed to Washington. They have been
for years the closest of friends, personal
and political, anu Mr.. Reed wanted to
see if his presence would not help his
friend. That's the whole story, but
Just nJw and the correspondents are
working this highly praiseworthy visit
of one friend to another for all it's
worth, not bothering about facts, but
giving their imagination free rein. Mr.
Reed only remained in Washing on
few hours.
1t Is given out by those connected
with the administration that the reason
the idea of court martialing Admiral
Meade for his recent criticism of the un.
American policy of the administration
was abandoned was that Admiral Meade
declined to answer questions as to his
responsibility for tie newspaper inter
view in which the criticism appeared
aud the absence Of any law to compel
the newspaper man who interviewed the
admiral TO testify before a naval court
martial. But that was not the reason
at all; it was merely a pretence. The
real reason was the fear of public opn-
ion, which was quick to see that Admiral
Meade was goaded into making the re
marAs which constituted technical yio-
lation of the naval regulations, but re-
t9cted the sentiments of seven-tenths OF
tie American people, and would have
been equ ally as quick to resent any at
tempt to punish him by the us of
packed court martial Admiral Meade
has given the country forty years of GAL
10 t service, haying a record unsurpassed
by any living officer of our navy, and
tie administration will do well to make
t4e reprimand which it proposes to give
hun as mild as possible,
There is little doubt that the pres.
idency Of the Pullman ear company has
been rendered to Secretary Gresham. \
gentleman whose relations wi several
directors Of that company are close ex
presses the opinion that if Mr.. Gresham
declines the position il viii be offered to
e.. Secretary Robert T. Lincoln.
An open rupture between Mr.. Cleve-
land and Vice President Stevenson is in
tls opinion o. many, certain to occur in
the near future. All OF the news re-
ceived in Washington points to the
p obable capture OF the democratic party
Il Illinois by tho silver men, and it is

Windy, the ex mayor who recently made
a pleasure trip to California, wanted the
city council to engage Dannie Proud to
expert" the city books. Ye gods! Let
Windy do it himself, and then he can
find just what he wants to. The coun-
Gil very appropriately refused to con-
slider the proposition.

uncle. The latter believes him to be
married, and II visit from the old gentle
man taxes the young mans ingenuity ito
make the deception complete. The ser
want girl, whose name is the title of the
piece, is induced to pose as the wife,
and child is also borrowed by the
young man to deceive the uncle. The
supposed wife has just been married to
the butler, who does not view the de-
cepton kindly, and the many complica-
tionS that arise from the real and aSsum-
ed relationships keep the audience
laughing from start to finish.
On Thursday evening the farclal
comedy, "Tom Sawyer" will be render
ed, followed on Friday evening by the
popular western drama, Hearts OF

Prof. L, Stone Virgins, who declares
he predicted the great storm in March,
1894, predicts another of equal violence
between September II and 2l. He says
it will sweep the shores of all continents
from the equator to the poles as early as
the 18th inst, but on the east coast of
North America will reach its climax,
with high tides, by the afternoon of the
21st. There is danger of volcanic up
heayals on the meridian of Japan and of
earthquakes in South America and

Five games uf base ball are to be
played by the Eastern league club of
Wilkesbarre and the State league club
of Hazleton to decide the professional
championship of Lu2erne county. Man
ager McGarvcy, of the Tigers, has Sc
cured the consent OF Managers shannon
and Sharsig to play the third game Of
the series at Frceland, under the aus
pces of the Tigers Athletic Club. This
interesting event will take place at the
Tigers park on Sunday next, the 22d
inst. Both of these clubs have already
played here against the local team, and
the base ball enthusiasts of town know
that each can put up strong game.
This should prove one Of the greatest
events in base ball that has taken place
in Frceland, as it is something above an
ordinary exhibition game and the result
means more to the clubs than the glory
of common victory.
Arrangements are being made to run
an excursion train to town from Wilkes
barre via the Lehigh Valley Railroad,
and the upper cndcrs promise to send
down a large delegation of rOotcrs for
their favoritcs. HaHoton, also, can be
depended upon to be well represented on
the grounds, and the rivalry existing be-
tween the two cities will add to the in
tcrest and make the occasion mcmor-
able one for lovers Of the national sport.

Mary Wanted to Die,

Mary Fillstein, of Wilkesbarre, on Sat
urday imagined that she was tired of
life, and she went to the mountain with
piece of clothes line to hang herself.
She fastened the line to the limb of Il
tree, fixed the moose around her neck
and jumped off, but the limb yielded
just enough to land her feet on the
ground, and then she began to scream.
a butcher driving his team happened to
come that way, who at once saw the
situation, and cut the rope. He tried to
persuade her to go home and give up
the suicide idea, but she stuck to it that
she wants to die. She was placed in
charge Of friends.

The Reading and the Lchigh Valley
Coal Companies have announced an ad-
vance in the price of anthracite coal,
and the new rate is to go into effect at
once along the line and in the cities.
The largest advance is in the price of
stove sizes and the smallestain the price
of nut. The coal officials say the differ
ence will be from 5 cents to 80
cents ton. For some time past the
price of coal in the cities has been lower
than it has been for years, and, notwith-
standing the conditions were anything
but favorable, the Reading Company
some time ago made reduction in the
price, which caused the other companies
to follow suit, and since then the price
has been practically whatever the coal
would bring.
At one time coal was being sold at
price which did not bring profit to the
operators and number of the individual
operators shut down their mines, rather
then sell their coal at loss. In the
last few weeks there have been more in
quireS for coal and the individual mines
are now being worked again.
The advance is considered Il good
thing, and it is predicted that this is
the beginning of an advance all around.
IN New York cutting has been yer,
severe and at times it was almost impos-
siblc to sell coal at any price.

Republicans Appealing to Pre- judice.

From the Shickshinny Democrat.
That hireling of the Republican politi-
clans who is appealing to the preiudices
of the people in the rural districts ad-
jacent to Shickshinny, is the dirtiest
kind of an individual. Mr. Mclean is
not member of the Roman Catholic
church, as stated, although if he were,
he is not the kind of IA man who would
apologize or cant about the matter. We
don't know whether he belongs to any
church, although we believe his family
are Prcsbytcrians. Pretty small busi-
ness, any way, for the opposition to re-
sort TO anything like this, even in poll
tics. Mr.. Mclean is man through
and through, and that's more than can
be said of large number of people
who are constantly prating about church
and nationality.
