POLITICAL POINTS.

It is said that Representative James
Keller, of the Second district, has no ambi-
ton for another term at Harrisburg.
Our townsman, T. j. Higgins appears very
confident that he will secure the Democratic
nomination for Sheriff with very little
trouble.
The primaries in town, in at least three of
the wards were very bitterly contested.
The county convention on Monday will be
held in Centennial hall and Chairman
Edwards headquarters will be in the Park
Hotel, Just across the street.
The Pottsville Republican is authority for
the statement that John J. COyle, smarting
under the defeat administered him on Satur-
day, will make an effort to have the county
convention endorse his course in the Legisla-
ture. The attempt will hardly be made.
John p, Howells, Of Gmrdville, candidate
for Jury Commissioner is making an active
canvass, and if the Sheriff goes below the
mountain his chances for nomination arc
excellent. Mr. Howells is young man
possessing the necessary qualifications, and
his faithful party services in the past entities
him to the nomination He will receive a
large vote in this section.
Editor John Parker is throwing hot shots
into the dead carcass of the Americans polit-
ical acrobat.
Here's prediction. Albright win lead ON
the first ballot for Sheriff with Smith, Bed
dali and Doerhinger following in the order
named.
What will Shenandoah receive ut the
hands Of Mondays convention
The clerks Of the convention will be
George p. Walker, George Glenn and Henry
Cohn, Of Pattsyille, and Fred. Wintersteen.
Of Port Carbon
The first contest for Sherifl aud control OF
the convention will be the election of q
chairman.
Whispering Francis is at his old tricks
again, playing the sneak act. He is harmless,
however, as the people have long since found
him out.
Next Saturday the Democrats will hold
their primaries.

GAEANINGS
OF THE DAY
Large Pay at the P. & R. C. & 1. Co.

ESTIMATE OF THE MONEY PAID OUT
1t Enlivens the Town and Gives the People
Better Hopes For the Future ong
Service in Mines omething
About Lost Pay Checks

As predicted yesterday, the paying Of the
mine employees Of the Philadelphia & Read
ing Coal & Iron Company this morning had
an exhilaTating influence upon the town
Shortly after nine O'Clock this morning four
horseless wagons containing the money boxes
and pay clerks, with an escort of G. & l.
policemen left the Lehigh Valley depot for
the several collieres and within an hour
after the streets Of the town were made
lively by crowds Of people vending their
ways to and fro in a manner indicating that
the pay clerks had not come to town empty
handed. And such was the case The pay
was the largest made by the company for
over year 1t is estimated that the wages
distributed at the seven collieries in this
vicinity, including the Ellaugowan and
Knickerbocker, aggregated from 500, 600 to
S70,0 900. This amount should certainly
make itself felt and give the times a better
color than they have had since last fall
A revival of good times brings with it
reflections of ''the good old times of long
ago" and it was not an uncommon thing to-
day to see a group of miners standing on
street corner discussing the past. In this
connection it may be surprising to know
how long some miners have been employed
at the collieries. A HERALD representative

The Bloomsbury State Normal School will
open for the Fall term Tuesday, August 3lst.
Extensive improvements throughout the
buildings and on the already beautiful
campus are being made, and large amount
of new apparatus is being provided.

and kindred sciences has been secured, to
provide for the increased number Of graduates
returning to take the advanced course.
Certain changes in the program will facili-
tale the work for students deficient in par
ticular branches, enabling them to strengthen
their scholarship in these without retarding
their progress in other branches. Careful
provision has been made for students needing
special dlill in English.
The number Of students enrolled for the
Fall term was never before so great.

s. Roll Beddall, Esq, of Port Carbon was
the first in the field for the Republican
nomination for Sheriff and has been making
a thorough and, we judge, effective canvass
of the county for delegates. He possesses
experience in the office besides many other
qualities which peculiarly fit him for an in
telligent and faithful discharge of the
onerOus duties of the place in the event of
his nomination, which would be equivalent
to an election. He Is gentleman of unim-
peachable integrity, steady habits and a
citizen Of whom all who know him are justly
proud. We say this without dispamgement

TO WATCH The ANARCHISTS.
Gut They can BE Excluded only Uu-
der immigration Laws.

der immigration Laws.
Washington, Aug. 14.-Commissioner
Powderly of the immigration bureau
has sent the following letter of in
structions to immigration officials at
New York, Boston. Philadelphia. Bal
timore and Quebec, Canada. relative to
the anticipated arrival in this coun-
try of Spanish anarchists:
Information has reached this bureau
to the effect that one Planas, leader
of the Spanish anarchists has been
expelled from France, being conducted
TO Havre. from which port It is ex-
pected he viii sail to the United States
/ am also advised that Tarrida Mar
moi, another Spanish anarchist, is be-
lieved to have gone to England, and
probably is en- route to this country.
A careful inspection should be made
of arriving passengers in order that
should any of this class be detected
a careful examination can be had as
to their right of admission into the
United States under existing laws"
II Is stated at the bureau of immi-
grafton that there is no law under
which persons can be excluded on the
ground that they are anarchists, nor
is anarchy anywhere declared to be
crime, so that if Planas and Mar
mol are refused admission to the
country the refusal must be based
solely upon the fact that they come
within the general immigration law as
to paupers, contract laborers crimi-
nails, etc. This law expressly provides
that nothing in this act shall be con-
stIued to apply to or exclude persons
convicted of political offense not
withstanding said political offense may
be designated a felony crime infa-
nous crime, or misdemeanor, involv-
ints moral turpitude, by the laws of the
land whence he came or by the court
convlcting."

Hot lunch on Monday morning


The cool weather the past few days has
somewhat decreased the voting in the great
bicycle contest. "Brose" Toole who has
held irst position for some time after the
contest opened seems to be compelled to be
satisfied with second place, as Miss White
lock is gradually gaining stronghold on
first place, with 1O,O1s votes, leading her op-
ponent by So votes. This is the strongest
lead she has attained. Miss McMenamin
still remains in third place, but it won't be
long until she may change her position. She
is credited with 1856 votes. The total vote
cast up to last evening was 81, ,5s2.
