One of earth's great pulsatloDs
will coon be felt, and the question
will be asked, How is the patient
Her symptoms are little understood
Her past is tlippantly called the
Dark ages; the present, all that's
worth living, and the future will be
Just what we make it. She has
been bathed through her history
with blood from pole to pole
Religions have been prophesled,
realized aud still move forward
AS the wants Of man have been
multiplied, latent resources have
developed.
This progress in the last hundred
years has been phenomenal, increas-
ing in arithmetical progression un'
til we have now condition un'
heard of then.
In mechanics, the sewing ma
chine, the harvester, the loom and
the great living, breathing and
pulsating engine.
Science has chained lightning
and made it subservient to oul
wishes. 1t supplants the hangman' s
moose and the star route, and re.
produces the voice, in song aud
laughter, of our friends, through
endless years.
The duration of so high and com
plicated condition depends upon
the cohesiveness Of a higher civil
ization.
Man is progressive beng lie
must have new fields in which to
expand new obstacles to over

BILE. This Is the history OF all ages.
Are not the signs Of the times
ominous ? Who eau say what the
next few years will do toward per-
fecting the lines of thought so
nearly completed Are we not
quiveriug in the balance ? The
skill of the inventor has SO far sup.
planted labor as to fill the world
with intelligent tramps. States
manship has been degraded into
class legislation. and made 1t posi-
BILE for the INSCRIPTIONS and avaric-
ious to centralize capital and con-
troll the fabrics and food of the
world.
Slavery is no longer confined to
race or color--it includes alike the
scholar and the boor--black and
white, regardless of nationality.
Let me ask, in all seriousness,
are we not going to round out the
century disappointed people, and
turn onr backs on progress

The Opening Entertainments.

The opening entertainment at the
Young Mems opera house last evening
gathered an audience that filed every
seat in the building and made standing
room a scarce article in some quarters.
Over 500 admissions were registered at
the doors, many of the people being from
Hazleton, White Haven and the South
Side, who attended to show their appre-
citation of the efforts of the society in
successfully overcoming the many diff
culties that the members encountered
since the project was begun. James Il.
Sweeney, the president of the corps,
opened the evenings programme with a
brief address of welcome, in which he
called attention to the temperance move
msnt and made an eloquent plea to the
parents of this community to give over
to the Young Mems Corps the care of
their boys, promising that the society
would guide them right and have them
grow up with the spirit of true manhood
instilled in them.
Mr.. Sweeneys remarks were well re-
ceived, and he was followed by the la
dies and gentlemen on the programme,
as announced last week, with very
few exceptions. In addition to those
whose names have been published, Geo.
Slattery, of Hazleton, and Thomas Doug
herty, of Audenried, took part.

Judges Cannot BE Removed.

Attorney General Mccormick has sent
an opinion to Governor Hastings relative
to the removal of judges in Schuylliill
county. Recently j. o. Ulrich, of Potts
Vile, the Schuylkill county solicitor,
wrote to the governor asking him under
certain provisions in article five of the
constitution to remove two judges of that
county who has been incapacitated from
work; one for three years and the other
for over one year.
The attorney general advises the
governor that he has no power under
the law to take the initiative in such Il
matter. A judge can only be removed
from Office, he says, by process of i'm
parchment or by an address to the COVER
nor signed by two-thirds of the members
of each house OF the general assembly.
Under the circumstances the attorney
general holds that no action can be
taken.

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an innamed con-
dition Of the mucous lining of the

inilamed you have q rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire

less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-

ANOTHER INDUSTRY,
Overall Factory Appears to Be on 1t,
Way to Town.

The proposition to locate an overall
and jumper factory here, which was
made to the Board of Trade some time
ago, has been investigated by the com
mittee to which it was referred, and
the members report that it is an industry
which the citizens should bring here.
The factory would employ at least 125
hands. 1t will require $25. 900 to put the
plant in operation. OF this amount the
company will invest $50, 900 and ask the
people of town to accept bonds for the
balance, $1,000. The bonds will bear
interest at the rate of per cent per
annum. j. C. Berner, who is IA member
of the committee, is accepting subscrip-
tions for the bonds. and of the amount
required $3,075 have been subscribed.
Those desiring to invest will have to at
tend to the matter Immediately, as the
entire lot will be taken before few
more days
The rapidity with which money has
been subscribed for the bonds of the
proposed silk mill and the overall factory
is sufficient evidence that any bona iide
industry will be welcomed by the people
of Freeland There is yet some stock in
the new brewery for sale, and this, it is
said, will not be long on the market until
it is all taken.
These three industries, all of which
are expected to be in operation before
the end of next summer, will give the
town Il start which should keep it
moving onward and upward, and every
encouragement possible should be given
the Board of Trade to continue in the
excellent work now under way.

Quarterly Temperance Convention.

The quarterly convention of the c. L.
A. societies of the fourth district was
held at the new opera house yesterday
afternoon. As this occasion marked the
informal opening of the building the
attendance was quite large, and every
society in the district was represented.
Jas. f. Sweeney, of Freeland, as chair
man, opened the convention with
prayer. T. A. Kelly, of Audenricd, the
district secretary, received the credcn-
tials of the delegates, and the business
of the day was then taken up.
One of the questions given by the last
convention to the societies for discussion
was the advisability of forming a new
union, to consist of the societies in the
lower end of the Scranton diocesan
union and some from the Philadelphia
archdioceSan union.
The answers of the societies were as
follows: In favor of new union Halle
ton society and cadets, Beaver Brook
societies, Audenried societies. including
the ladies' society. Harleigh thought it
not advisable at present, Freeland was
satisfied with the present union, and
Harwood, Eckley and Jeanesville took
no action.
The best way to promote the temper
ance cause and the organization of
ladies societies were two questions that
were entertainingly discussed and many
points were made by delegates in giving
their views on these subjects.
The debate on one of the most intr-
cate questions connected with temper
ance was next taken up. 1t was: RE
solved, that moral suasion has done
more to advance the temperance cause
than legal Suasion." The affirmative side
of the subject was handled by j. j. Nc
Menamin, of Freeland, and the mega
tive by William O'Donnell, of Auden-
ried. Both gentlemen presented their
sides of the argument with strong proof
An address was made on temperance
matters in general by j. f. Sweeney,
and he was followed by James F. Judge
of Scranton, who advocated the spread
ing of the anti-treating league. The
habit of treating he strongly condemned
and claimed if this could be broken up
the cause of temperance would stride
forward more rapidly.
Audenred was selected as the place
for holding the next district meeting
The convention then closed with prayer
The delegates were rendered supper
in the building by the Young Mems
Corps.

|. Refowich, Jr., the popular young
manager of Refowich's clothing store,
has resigned his position in that estab-
lishment and will leave town about the
latter part of this week. During the six
years that Mr.. Refowch resided here,
the last two of which he spent as general
manager of the store, he made large
circle of friends and built up business
that far exceeded the expectations
of himself or the proprietor. No small
amount of the trade which the establish
ment now enjoys is due to the energy and
push of the manager, who devoted him
self to the work before him with tact
ana ability that would have done credit
to an older and more experienced man.
He has made himself very popular
with the patrons of the store by his
courteous and obliging disposition, and
in business matters has given strict at
tcntion to every department. His friends
heard with regret his Intention to leave
town, but will, no doubt be pleased to
learn that he has already received some
good offers, and will likely accept one of
them. which will take him to the vicin-
ity of pittsburg, where he has been offer
ed the management of Il large estab ablish-
ment in the same lines of business.
