The Literary ATMOSPHERE Of Paris.

A certain exaggeration is the mote of
literary talks in Paris. You must not ex-
pect the text to mean just what it reads
to mean. The takers do not intend that
it shall be expected. They are ''mov-
ing ideas for the pleasure, hygiene, sol
ace, of the. act, and doing 50 before an
audience whom every intellectual audaci-
ty finds prepared, and besides prepared
tolerant. All this talk ends by making
a density in the air which is almost to
be felt, almost, you might say, visible
and palpable; real literary atmosphere,
which envelopes both the ARRIVED and
the strugglers in a common medium, and
has the effect of making other literary
atmospheres seem, in comparison. of Il
rather chilly insubstantiality- Cor

LOCAL WAR NOTES.

1t seems to be considered settled that
all Pennsylvania regiments in the field
must increase the number of their com
panies to twelve, which is the standard.
Most OF them have only eight companies.
In expectation Of this, a company has
been organized at Pittston and another
at Wilkesbarre to fill tho Ninth. This
will still leave two vacancies, and lower
end people are talking of trying to have
these places held for companies from
Freeland and Hazleton.
At needing of the Wyoming Valley
chapter of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution at Wilkesbarre resolu-
tions were adopted protesting against
tho esta blshmont in the Ninth regiment
at Chickamauga of "a regimental saloon
or cantnen." The resolution says: 1T
will prove in every way hurtfu to the
moral, physical and financial condition
OF the soldiers and be source of sorrow
as well as loss to their families and
friends"
Enlistments for the Eleventh infantry,
regulars, are still going on at WIKI es-
barre. Luzerne county has furnished
over 200 men for this regiment Tley
are AZ Fort Mcpherson, Georgia, but
will start for the Philippines in few

The State, the Democratic newspaper
recently started at Milton, has suspend
ed publication, owing to the action of the
postal authorities in refusing to admit it
to the mail as second-class matter, as
all other newspapers are. The State
had to pay two cents postage on each
copy mailed, and after trying to have
this unfair discrimination removed, it
gave up. The paper was an excellent
news journal, and its political matter,
Democratic to the core, was of Il higher
order than that in any other paper in
the state. The fear of Republicans
that it would cut big swath in their
ranks in the coming campaign is sup
posed to have been the cause of its
suppression by the postoffice depart
ment

The light from big, bright moon last
night made the absence of twelve are
street lights less noticeable than would
have been the case had the night been
dark. The change, however, in illumin-
alton, from n modern embryo city to n
backwoods hamlet, was sufficient to
cause remarks in every quarter Of town
which would not be music to council
manic ears had our borough dads heard
them. Only two of the fourteen lights
ordered extinguised by the council were
allowed to remain. These are at the
intersection of Centre and Walnut and
Pine and Walnut streets, and the busi-
ness people of these localities agreed to
pay the expense of retaining them.
On Centre street, owing to the many
well-lighted stores, the difference was
not so noticeable until late hour, but
on all other streets, even with the help
of the moon, the appearance of the
thoroughfares was anything but credit
able to the ruling powers.
Where the fault lies for taking this
backward step is not quite plain at this
writing. The plea of economy put
forth by n majority of council is IA good
one to fight behind, and If they are sin
cere in reducing all expenses the tax
payers will undoubtedly stand by them.
Any deviation from economic principles
on the part of council will, however,
make this claim u ridiculous one and
give color to the rumors which are fire.
quently heard, viz, that the reduction
in lights is due to personal friction be-
tween members of the council and mem
bers OF the light company.

From the Mt. Carmel Item.
The first steps in the boom for hard
coal have been taken throughout the
anthracite coal fields, and now as the
movement has taken root all over the
region it is Of great Importance that the
Boards of Trade and like organizations
in the various towns and cities get
down to work and appoint their dele
gates to the convention, and instruct
them as to the best means of procedure
in the matter. The interest taken
throughout the region has been up to
the fullest expectations of those who
started the movement and even outside
of the regions considerable interest has
been manifested
The Philadelphia papers have taken
the matter up and have given lengthy
and exhaustive arguments on the sub
jcct, and they think as we, that the
whole matter lies in the question of
freight tolls. 1t is an unbearable state
OF affairs for us. in the fact that even
the carriers and miners of anthracite
coal use bituminous coal for their en-
gines; and boilers in their larger shops.
They say it is cheaper to use bitumn-
Gus. But why is it so? Can not the
larger railroad companies produce their
own fuel at less cost than they can
buy the other kind? If not, then the
stockholders of these companies had
better look up better managers and
smarter financiers. In short, we think
that the old saying: Carrying Goals to
New CASTLE" which has been the ex-
preston for fool tricks for many years,
suits some of our coal carrying com
