in Greenbacks:

HAZELToN, Pa, June 30.-There il
trouble in the camps of laborers in the
Buck Mountain section. 1t has been
brought about by the wholesale distribu.
tion of silver literature by the Pennsyl-
vania department of the Gold Monometal-
list Literary bureau. These document
set forth the distress which free silver
would precipitate through a 5O-cent dollar
Jacob Hogan, a contractor who is build
ing the reservoir at Buck Mountain, has
learned more on this subject during the
past few days than he ever knew before.
He employs 800 men. These men have
been reading about fiat money, bimetal-
lism and 5O-cent dollars.
Anthony Reetz is one of the most intel
ligent laborers, and his opinion is the opin-
ion of all the others. He is an ardent gold
advocate and in his zeal to spread the light
laid particular stress on the deprecated
silver coin. The result was that the men
held meeting and decided that they
would all be gold men, not politically, but
commercially, and that their labor should
be traded on a sound money basis only.
Reetz WHO'S An under-boss, communicated
this fact to Contractor Hogan Thursday.
The men were to be paid their months
wages on Saturday. 1t did not strike Hogan
at that time that there would be any diff
Guilty in paying the men in gold. He called
at his bank and demanded 81, 800 in gold
He was struck dumb when the teller
told him he could not get that sum in the
entire county. Out of the S1l,OOO,OOO on
deposit in the several banks Of the county.
1t is. estimated that scarcely half the re-
qnired amour. is circulating The labor
ers, however. have refused to go beyond
the 50 limit on silver. and the contractor
and his gold standard advocating under
boss are very much embarrassed in conse-

a petrihed Queen.

An American traveller found M
in Alaska a queen that was receiving
more homage than any other queen
ever received. This traveller went
north with sloop laden with a mis-
cellaneous cargo which he sold to
the na.ives in small Indian village
on Prince of Wales Island, off the
coast Of Alaska. In studying the
customs CT the Indians, he found the
divinity that is supposed to keep
watch over them, was former queen,
who, by some popularity of the soil
of her burial plac, had been tur led
into stone instead of into dust.
Years afterwards the grave was un-
covered and the petrifed body was
found. The Indians looked upon

Well. wife, I've found the model church
Iwor, hipped there to-day;
II made me think of good old times, be-
fore my hairs were gray.
The meetin'- house war finer built than
they were years ago;
But then | found, when | went in, it
wasn't built for show.
The sexton didn't seat me way back
by the door;
lie knew that was old and deaf, as
well As old and poor.
He must have been a Christian, for he
led me boldly through
The long aisle of that pleasant church
to find pleasant pew.

"Let all the people sing"
The tune was Coronation" and the
music upwards rolled
Till | thought | heard the angels
striking all their harps of gold.
My deafness seem to melt away, my
spirit caught the fire;
I Joined my feeble, trembling voice
with that melodious choir,
And sang, SIS in my youthful days,"Let
angels PROSTATE fall,
BRING forth the royal diadem and
crown him Lord of ALL"
1 tell you, wife, it did me good to sing
that hymn once more,
1 felt like some wrecked mariner who
gets glimpse of shore;
almost want to lay aside this weather
beaten form
And anchor in the blessed port forever
from the storm.

1t fitted poor old men like me, it fittec
hopeful youth;
Twas full of consolation for weary
hearts that bleed,
Twas full of invitations to Chris.-ant
not to creed.
The preacher made sin hideous il
Gentiles and in Jews:
He shot the golden sentences straigh
at the finest pews,
And, though can't see very we'll, saw
q falling tear
That told me hell was some way of
and heaven very near.
How swift the golden moments he,
within that holy place!
How brightly beamed the light o
