REVENUE UNDER THE PRESENT
TARIFF

Keep it before the people, as the old
campaign organs used to say, that the
revenues from customs under the much
abused Democratic tariff amounted to
SlO9, 100000 in round figures in the fiscal
year just closed. This is $50, 900. 600
more than the revenues from customs
under the Mckinley tariff in the year
ending June 30, 1894, and it is only
81 100000 below the tariff receipts of
1891 But the calamity organs compare
the revenues under the existing tariff
with the abnormal custom receipts of
ls92, which rose to $203, 900, 600. The
enormous imports of that year were more
than the protectionistsh had bargained for
Their avowed object in the Mckinley
tariff was to reduce both imports and
revenues; but when an unexpected result
arose in transitory condition of trade
they coolly attributed the phenomenon
to their prot ctiye policy. Philadelphia

A POCKET TYPEWRITER.
But Little Larger Than a Watch, 1t
Prints Fifty Characters.

What is probably the smallest practi-
cal typewriting machine in the world
has recently been invented and is now
being manufactured ut Rockford, Ill. 1t
is made of aluminium and is /. 8 inches
in diameter, 34 inch deep and weighs
complete but l-2 ounces: about the
same size and weight as an ordinary
watch. 1t can he carried in the vest
pocket and is ready for use ut any time.
Its mechanism is very simple: the dial is
like that of watch with fifty. four
characters printed around the outer edge.
This is placed over type bars of thin
metal that radiate from the centre 1t is
operated by single upright key in the
middle of the dial, controlling Il pointer
which is directed to the desired character
which by slight pressure of the key,
drops into the notched rim of. the case
and strikes the bar beneath. The type
is upper case''-that is, capitals only.
y thin circular strip of peculiar kind
of felt is used instead of ribbon This is
prepared with ink similar to that used
on ordinary typewriters, and it is placed
in position fiat in the bottom of the case
When in use the case is fastened to u
guage road and attached to an. ordinary
writing pad by spring clamp.
The highest degree of speed is not
claimed for it, but it is swift enough for
all ordinary work, the skill of the oper-
ator, of course, governing the speed of
the execution. The inventor, Charles p.
Mars, is IL confirmed invalid who, though
he has not left his wheeled chair for
many years, has originated several profit
able mechanical devices.-New York

WATCH YOUR CHANCE

There is no such thing as luck said
Colonel North once. Everybody in this
world has chances. What people call
luck simply means that man sees his
chance, holds on to it, and at the right
moment works it for himself Luck
Nonsense! Luck is simply the faculty
of Selling passing opportunities.

Recognition

OF the Cuban billigsncy is now sgitstins the
minds of the American people, but the recog-
milton of the people of Shenandoah is unani-
nous to the effect that Amandus Womer, 124
North Main street, has the finest and best
made stock of boots, shoes and rubbers in
this locality and which he sells cheaper than
his competitors. Why2 Because he has no
rent to pay and buys only for cash, saving
10 per cent. ON the paying of rent and 8 per
cent. discount in buying, which benefits the
purchasers derive. He does not claim to sell
you at less than cost, but by considering the
above announcement one can readily see
that he can undersell others and still main
tain his profit. To convince the purchaser
we ask you to call and examine our stock
and compare our prices with others, and you
will find our statement true one. Save 10
per cent. of your purchase and remember the

A Shenandoah Man Fared Badly in a
Saloon Row.

Saloon Row.
Special to EVENING HERALD.
FREELAND, Dec. 4.-The community was
aroused about 1890 o'clock Saturday evening
by the wild screams of strong male voice.
The Chief Of Police entered John Matnells's
saloon and made an investigation. A fellow
giving the name of Harry E. Doyle, Of Shsn-
andoah, arrived in town and entered the
above saloon, ordered drink and then re-
fused to pay for the same. The fellow then
cried for police protection and related how he
had been beaten and relieved of $1.s5 in cash
and large revolver. After hearing both
sides of the story, Officer Gallagher decided
to put all connected with the affair under
arrest. Before he could secure warrant,
however, Doyle learning that his name was
to be placed upon the document, made his
escape. When it was discovered that the
prosecutor had skipped the matter was
dropped, much to the disappointment of a
large crowd that had assembled to see the
fun The bar room was full of Austrians at
the time, who demanded the intruder to
come up with the amount necessary to pay
for his drink Here Doyle drew large
revolver and threatened to use the same.
He was set upon and badly used up, after
which he was followed by a shower of beer
glasses. He was elected into the middle Of
the street.

POLITICAL TALK.

The candidates for Sheriff are multiplying
Those announced are; +. +. Masargle, of
town G. o. Smith, MahanOy City II. Clay
Evans st. Clair and Hester Albright
Orwigsburg.
The Republicans Of shamokin will hold
their primaries January End.
The First ward Democrats are coming to
the front with the following candidates;
Daniel Coakley, the present member, and
Thomas Moakler want to go TO Council
James Coughlin, Tim. O'Bren, Patrick
Graham and eK-Councilmsn James Kane are
seeking the nomination for School Director.
And there are others to hear from.
The uniformed Republican marching club,
of the Good Intent Fire Company, Pottsville.
will go to Philadelphia on the 22nd inst to
participate in the Penrose demonstration.
The Journal makes the claim that Penrose
will have IFS votes out Of total caucus vote
Of 215, leaving 40 scattering votes for Wsna-
maker and the other candidates.
The election of United States Senator takes
place the second week in January.
Forty-six members out of total vote of
370 is hardly an exact expression of the

There is anything but harmony among the
local Democrats, occssionsd by one OF two
men forming a slate in their own interests.
The friends of Jacob Noll say they can
easily break the slate, and that if the
Germans are not recognized in the formation
of the ticket there will be trouble.
The Penrose parade and mass meeting in
Philadelphia on the 22nd inst, promises TO
eclipse that which nominated Alexander Crow
for Sheriff. Clubs from all parts of the state
will be in attendance.
School Directors David Morgan and John
Lee will likely seek q denomination.
Said prominent Lithuanian citizen to-day:
"If the Democrats think they can control
our people by giving Democrat the nomina-
ton for Burgess, they will be fooled. Be-
sides, the man selected is not the choice of
our people. It's big game they're putting
up we see through it, however, and will bust
the slate"
The people will not vote for Borough
Justices this spring. The Supreme Court
meets in February to hear appeals from
Schuylkill county, and the election takes
place on the third Tuesday of the same
month.
Keep your eye on the bird. Something
will drop among the local slate makers
shortly that will stsrtle our Democratic
friends.
