Every person in business should re-

get you in a short while unless you do
something to keep your name constantly
before their eyes, and no one in business
desires to be forgotten by the buyers of
the community. There are various
methods Of making business name and
location familiar to the public, but none
has yet been devised which can take the
place of local newspaper. As a medi-

to sell and the one who wants to buy the
local papers stand above everything else.
Space in them costs less, gives the bust

PAYMASTER DISAPPEARS.
G. IL. Wolfe. of Pittston, Has Not Been
Seen Since Friday.

From the Wlkesbarre Record.
Considerable excitement has been
caused in certain circles in Pittston for
the last few days by the sudden disap-
pearance of G. b. Wolfe, paymaster for
the Newton Coal Company, the operators
of the Twin shaft. He has been gone
since Friday evening and nothing has
been seen or heard of him since. Wolfe
has been engaged as paymastcr for the
Newton Company for the past six years
and in addition he has also kept the
books for the Girard Coal Company. He
was well liked by the officers of the com
pany and considerable responsibility
and large sums of money were entrusted
to him. 1t was his custom to keep a
record of the employees and make out
the checks for wages. He also made
the deposits of the company's money
and altogether handled thousands upon
thousands of dollars.
1t seems that last Friday General
Manager Law discovered some error in
his accounts and spoke to him about it.
Mr. Law then went to Wilkesbarre and
did not return until Saturday morning.
When he reached the Office he found a
letter dated Friday evening, written by
Mr.. Wolfe, which stated that he had
resigned. The keys WERE also enclosed.
Mr.. Law stated that men had been
set to work auditing the books and ac-
counts. Some deficiency had been
found, but he did not think it would
amount to great deal. 1t might, how
ever be countcrbalanccd by an error in
the figures further on.
MIR. Wolfe is about 10 years old and |
has wife aad five children.

There is more catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many. years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires corstitu.

Regulating one saIoon.

In an address at East Aurora, Father
Zlrcher, the brave temperance priest
whom the bishop of Buffalo tried to ST.
lence, gave utterance to the following:
Good men sometimes say that saloons
can be regulated. / used to help chase
the devil around the stump, but l got
tired of it. I am glad that the politicians
are beginning 10 chase the devil around

is slippery, and sometimes crawls
through a very small hole Some men
say that it makes no difference to them
whether town has saloons or not: that
they are safe. There is d want of Amer
lean generosity in such talk A father
should help to remove the occasion of sin
from his sons and from his neighbors. If
is right that we Should send sympathetic
aid to the Armenians. What sympathy
have we for those in cur midst whom
liquor destroys? Almost any day you
may read in Buffalo something like this
from last Thursday: Sherman Jackson. a
negro, died suddenly; he sang in saloons;
his health was impaired from heavy
drinking. This is from last Friday:
Michael Shannon, aged "a, was arrested
day before Christmas for drunkenness:
he died In the penitentiary two DAYS
later. The mother learned only this week
that her son is buried in the potters field

Bachelor once Crossed in

Kentucky Bachelor Once Crossed in
Love Took Revenge n Himself.
He was a Kentuckian stopping at an
uptown hotel AT the same time he was
not six feet tall, he was not chewing
tobacco, he was not twirling a cork
screw in his fingers and he was for
sound money.

in many parts of Kentucky there are
wonderful caves. OF course, we all
know of Mammoth cave, and yet there
are some quite as remarkable as that,
and possibly as deep, if, indeed, they
are not parts Of it, and one can go
from one end of the state to the other
under ground. Several towns have
caves under them, and in Bowling
Green the sewerage of one section of
the town is simply the caves beneath,
and if the householder wants sink or
pool for receiving the waste water from
his house he simply drills a hole into
the ground until he breaks through The
rock into the cavity below, and he has
what he wants.
I'm Mammoth cave are houses where
consumptives lived in hopes of cure,
and so on, with a list of cave curios
but the oldest one ! know of is an old
bachelor who has made his home in
one of these caves near a thrifty in
terror town. He is a man of 60 odd now
and for more years than I can remem-
Der he has lived in this hole in the
ground. The romance is that when he
was q, young man he was in love with
a girl who refused him because there
was consumption in his family, and
her refusal crazed him and drove him
clear into the ground, so to speak.
Whether. she refused him ON that
ground I do not know, but it is true
that he was threatened with consump-
ton and began to try his life under
ground there being a fine cave on his
fathers farm. Here he fixed himself
a dwelling place, which was to all in
tents and purposes a house, for it was
built of wood and ceiled throughout
The cave was perfectly dry and so the
house was and the temperature being
always the same it was not such a
bad place to live. When the young
man first took to the cave he had
learned the trade of shoemaking and
this he has kept up all these years,
having a shop near his house.
Since the Introduction of electric
lighting he has had things much better
down his way, and being a studious
man he has found plenty Of time to
improve his mind. He isn't a bit of a
crank and whenever the weather Is
pleasant he comes out and goes around
town attending to whatever business
he may have on hand and making calls
on his friends. A colored man does his
cooking for him and takes care Of his
house does his marketing calls for
and delivers his cobbling and shoe
work He is a beautiful workman and
makes quite comfortable little sum
out of it to add to what he gets in
rent for his farm, as he is the only
survivor OF the family 1t is a rare
thing to see him on the streets in win
ter, and then only ON the balmiest days,
and he never comes out in the summer
time

JOIN THE CHURCH.

No man or woman processing to follow
Christ has a right to stay outside the
church organization. All such should be-
long to some branch of Christ's church.
The Lord Jesus has declared himself to
be the head of the church He founded
it, having bought it with his blood. He
appointed its ministers and its ordi-
nances. 1t is clearly his will that it be
perpetuated; and no one who regards his
commands can afford to shirk his part
in its maintenance. He has directed that
his followers be baptized in his name;
that they partake of bread and wine in
company in remembrance OF him; that
they forSake not the assembling of them
selves together for his worship and for
mutual aid in his service. These things
could not be rightly attended to, nor
could a vigorous effort be put forth for
the salvation of the world, without
definite organization under proper officers
and leaders. The privileges When the
church provides are great-admittedly so
it, to appropriate these privileges without
sharing also in the burdens and RESPONSE
bilities which they involve. No one can
so to heaven alone, unless circumstances
beyond his control combine to isolate
him wholly from his fellow believers and
his fellow men.
Since. then. whoever loves God will
make it known, will want TO work for
him: viii want 10 be in the society OF his
people, and will want TO obey his COM
mands-all of which things are best com
passed by connection with some branch
Of his church-it is evident how perfectly
valueless is the declaration of great love
for God on those who shun the church;
except, indeed. so far as INV ncD-s
ance" and darkness may suffice to excuse
them for this as for any other pa1pable
wrong -dojng.-Zion' Herald.

BEFORE DECENTRALIZATION.

Before characterization both
metals constituted the redemp-
ton money of the world; and as
both metals existed in about
the same quantities. it gave VA
twice as much money of re-
demption as gold alone will now
furnish us. There is in the world
now, according to the report of
the director of our mint, s3.727,-
01S,S69 in gold, and $500, 571, 346
in silver. The dislocation of the
parity of the two metals by the
characterization of silver, and
the attempt to maintain our
credit in gold, has reduced the
redemption money of the world
from s7,547, 59O,215 to $3.727O1S.-
500, or a little less than one
half the original amount

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. o.
Chairman Bynum, of the National
Democratic executive committee, this
morning set at rest the rumor that
President Cleveland had written him a
letter in which he opposed the idea of
putting a national Democratic ticket
in the field and urged the endorse
ment of Mckinley. Mr.. Bynum said:
ANY rumor to the effect that Presi-
dent Cleveland has written to me or
has in any way indicated any indispo-
sition toward the nomina ton of a
ticket is utterly without foundation.
Furthermore. this convention will,
without any manner of doubt. nomin-
dent and vice-presidenG upon a Demo-
cratic platform. The delegates have
been elected and are being elected IN
der call contemplating that purpose,
and every scrap of information or COM
munication that we have indicates that
this will be done"
Concerning the attitude of President
Cleveland toward the movement, Sec
rotary Wilson this afternoon made the
following statement Of the view taken
at headquarters:
Mr. Cleveland has never given any
expression to an opinion as far as the
leaders of the sound money move
ment know, concerning the convention
at Indianapolis. They don't believe
that any one is authorized to speak fer
the president But certainly there has
been no antagonism from Mr.. Cleve-
land or his friends. aGld anyone observ-
ing the situation can plainly see that
Senator Villas, Senator Gallery, SEN
ator- Palmer, Senator Gray and such
gentlemen, are. to put it mildly, not
unfriendly to Mr.. Cleveland In fact
they are closely identified with him
They are all in favor of the third
ticket, and why should not Mr.. Cleveland
be friendly toward the sound money
NOV eanent? The Chicago platform
seeks to fmpeach his personal Integrity
and repudtdtes his political admins
tration, and Governor Stone, in his
Madison Square Garden speech, saw
fit TO denounce him as traitor. The
newspapers that are behind Mr. Bryan
are steadily engaged in the same kind
of work. Mr. Cleveland and his friends
are not of the makeup kind that kisses
the hand that smites them"
The New York people today engaged
quarters at the Bates house for a full
delegation of Y members and fifty
extra people. The Maryland people
also wired for quarters today Their
delegation will be headed by ex-Gov-
ernor William Pinckney Whyte and ex-
Congressman Isadore Raynor. Tele-
grams were received from North Caro-
lima, South Caroline and New Mexico,
stating that arrangements have been
made for state conventions and the Sc
lection of full delegations.
Applications for tickets to the con-
Vention are pouring in upon the ex-
ecutive committee in such numbers as
to indicate much larger attendance
of spectators than was anticipated,
and it now seems certain that the hotel
capacity of the city will be fully tested.
