The ejectment suits of the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company will be
taken up against Celia McHugh and
Patrick Gildea, of Lansford, at this
term of Carbon county court. The other
cases will not likely come before the
court for some years. In an eject
ment suit the plaintiff must win two
cases out of three before the ejectment
becomes operative. If this fight is car
ried on to finish it will take years to
settle it.

Whether class-leader in Sunday
school or prayer meeting. or as post
master general OF the United States of
America, or as philanthropist and friend
of presidents, or as one of the most
successful business men in the world,
John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, is
CONSPICUOUS for what he says and does,
being keen, accurate and generally wise
in word and deed. The following
extract is from an interview with him
on his manner of advertising and the
results thereof:
Il never in my life used such thing
thing as poster or a dodger or hand
bill. My plan for twenty years has
been to buy so much space in news
paper and fill it up as | wanted.
would not give an advertisement in a
newspaper of 500 circulation for 5000
dodgers or posters. If | wanted to sell
cheap jewelry or run gambling scheme
| might use posters; but | would not
insult a decent reading public with
handbils. The class of people who read
them are too poor to look to support
mercantile affairs. | deal directly with
the publisher and say to him.
"'llow long will you let me run a
column of matter through your paper
for 500 or $5C0?' as the case may be. |
let him do the figuring. and if think
he is not trying to take more than his
share give him the copy.
Il lay aside the profits on a particular
line of goods for advertising purposes
At first laid aside $1,000. In 1896 | laid
aside and spent $40, 600. l have done bet
ter this year, and shall increase the sum a
the profits warrant it. l owe my success
to newspapers and to them | freely give
certain profit of my yearly business"

From the Mauch Chunk Democrat.
There is a very strong sentiment
among the local base ball cranks in favor
of electing Ed. Galfney manager and
captain of next seasons team. They
rightly argue that with man of Gaff-
ney's executive and coaching ability in
absolute charge of the men, the team
would be 20 per cent stronger, with the
same players, than it was last year.
Broderick, McFadden, Gillespie and
Bonner, according to their most inti-
mate friends, have all expressed them
selves as desiring to play in Mauch
Chunk again next season notwithstand-
ing the many offers made them by other

Church War Ended.

The fight for the possession of the
Polish Catholic church at Mill Creek,
near Wilkesbarre, is ended and there
will probably be no further trouble.
The church and parochial residence are
in possession of the proper persons. On
tion with the earnest persuasion of other
priests of the diocese, the warning fac
tions have ceased to carry on hostilities.
Jacob Schal, the church treasurer, upon
whom an attachment of execution was
levied, has turned the money into court.
The Judgment was opened and the sale
stopped.
