CHOW WHO LEEDp"

EDITOR HERALD: Mr., Royce, last
week, in the heading to another Nun
chausenian article, asks the question
that l quote as the caption to this
communication. l do not know as to
whether he wishes me to answer it,;
| think il we're disposed to deal in
Billingsgate or il the gentleman
should ask me personally, that 1
should answer in a word that is
spelled with only three letters. Bat
It is not nice to handy such words
through the columns Of the press;
neither is it edifyinR TO the readers
of newspapers to peruse matter that
is OF no higher notice than the splitting
of venom by The writer.
Holding this view Of such things,
/ certainly should not feel called upon
to say anything in reply, were it not
that the belicose editor of the Dispatch
in his second article fairly uncloses
IN the role OF a Sir John Falstaff, and
assumes that somebody has insinuated
that he had lied. / never said that
Mr.. Royce had lied, but l want 1t
plainly understood that did not say
that he had not lied, either Please
let me repeat what I said week be-
fore last;
Mr. Royce has very vivid imsgi-
nation. He would be a huge success
az a competitor of II. Rider Hsggard
He can give tho author of Baron
Munchsusen points, and then defeat
him."
Can't a man admire his good friends
most prominent trait Of character
without being misunderstood? Let
me say once for all that l do not be-
lieve "Sir Jobn'l would lie, but in
my opinion he handles the truth with
reckless abandon.
Now as to the statements made by
Sir John" MARK, now, how PLAIN a
tale shall put you down" From your
own columns shall the answer to your
question come. "Sir Johns" paper
of March 81, plainly stated that the
question Of county printing resulted
in meeting in this city last Saturday
of the county central committee of
that party" Oh, Sir John Sir John!
Not word was ever said about the
Ito you) all important question in the
''call" that brought the committee
together. None Of the committee was
directly Interested in said question,
for neither Brainerd nor Lsndes are
members. But here is the statement
that is almost enough to persuade the
average man to fear that "Sir John"
is in danger Of, some day, straying
from the path Of truth;
"The county printing question was
pretty thoroughly gone over IN the
committee room = The msjority of
the committee wanted to give the
printing to Landes," etc.
In his issue of the 14'h inst be
crawfshes on some things, bat spread
ing a little more war paint on his
countensnce and dipping bis pen in
good strong solution of concentrated
lie, he brings forth the following:

Special Navy Supplement.

Tho subject of our navy is one which
il all-engrossing at the present time,
and the desire for accurate and reliable
information concerning our vessels has
induced the Scientific american to publish
special navy supplement of forty
pages with ninety illustrations. Every
effort has been made to explain what
the navy is. Comparisons have been
drawn, not only between the various
types OF vessels, but also between diff
ferent vessels of the same class. The
descriptions are couched in untechnical
language, and after a careful reading Of
this number any one can discuss the
merits of the various vessels. The clear
diagrams showing the difference between
these modern fighting machines render
analyses of this kind easy. 1t is beauti-
fully illustrated by half-tone engravings
and woodcuts showing not only the
naval vessels themselves, but guns, gun
turrets, coming towers, steering APP
paratuS, etc. This number has a color
ed map of Cuba. Price 25 cents. Mum
& Co., 36l Broadway, New York, are the
publishers.

Mine Workers Take Action.

The movement begun recently to

Hazleton on Saturday, and District No.
passed the following resolutions:
Whereas, 1t being apparent that dis
tress has for some time and does still
exist in the entire anthracite coal region,
owing to the dullness in the anthracite
coal trade, and
"Whereas. In consequence many of
tho people in our midst are sorely in
need of the necessaries of life, be it
therefore
Resolved, That we appeal to our con-
grossmen to have an appropriation made
by congress that will relieve the people
in need and to ask our government to
use anthracite coal wherever it may be
practicable to do so; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of these reso-
lutions be sent throughout the entire an
thracite region for signatures by the
business men and the public at large"

Berlin s. Kunkle, of Krcsgeville, Mon
roe county, committed suicide in pc
culiar manner. He shot himself in the
mill race at that place. Kunkle first
took coil of rope and fastened one end
to staple on the bank, then tied the
other end around his waist. In his belt
was revolver, to which was tied a
string. He had written note which
read: "You will find my body at the
head of the mill race. A suit of clothes
is in my vaise to bury me in when the
undertaken has me in prcscntabe shape -
The letter further said he wanted no
tombstone and provides for every detail
of his burial, even to the giving of So to
each of the grave diggers. Kunkle was
twice married, his first wife, who came
from near Pittston, ha3ing also shot her
self to death.

Bernard ]. keenan,, with copper
tunity" for his text, made plea to all
to grasp every opportunity in life that
might assist in educating the brain or
the hand. He commented freely upon
the opportunities that lie before the
young men and advised each to make
good use of every chance to improve
oneself ere it is too late.
"Air We Breathe" was the title of
Patrick J. Dever's subject, and it is safe
to conclude that after he finished many
in the audience were better acquainted
with this important article Of life than
before. The necessity of maintaining
the purity of the air we breathe, thereby
insuring our health against disease, was
brought out in striking form, and
statistics of air analyzed in various
places clinched the speakers arguments.
o. Il. Richards told of the vast amount
of knowledge which can be obtained by
Asking Questions. People who see
something and do not understand it
were advised to ask questions from
those who know. Every mans store of
learning can be increased in this
manner.
Condy johnson gave brief but very
interesting review of "One Of America s
Greatest Statesmen UIenry Clay" The
life and work of this noble man furnished
the speaker with n theme that was well
discoursed upon in the short space of
time allotted him. Clay's grand stability
of character was offered by Mr.. johnson
as model for all others who would rise
to prominence in the affairs of state and
still retain the respect OF the populace.
The opera house was well filed with a
select audience. During the evening
several appropriate selections were rem
dered by St. Patrck's band.
The board Of directors of the institute
consists of the following: President, A.

Hanged TIL He stopped Kicking,

A case of youthful depravity has re-
Gently come to public notice at Turn
ers Falls, Mass. 1t appears that several
boys from Tough end" who had
heard the particulars of the execution
of O'Neil, concluded to try one of their
number for the crime of murder. An
empty freight car was used as a court
room, and the trial proceeded with
Judge, jury, and full complement of
officers.
After the trial, in which the accused
was found guilty, the sentence of death
was pronounced upon the accused, and
preparations taken to carry out the
decree of the court. The death watch
was set and a gallows improvised in
the car. When the time drew near for
the execution the condemned boy was
mounted upon box and the moose ad-
justed. The box was knocked out
from under his feet, and the victim
was told that when he stopped kick
ing he would be cut down. He was
soon unable to kick, and the break
ing of the rope probably saved the
boys life. Some little time was re-
quired to bring the boy around.
The ages of the boys are given as
from 10 to Is, and the victims age was
about IL. The matter has been kept
very quiet, and it was only by accident
that the affair became known.

LElSENRING'S BETRAYAL.
How the Ex-Congressmnn Was Buncoed
by Delegates Elected to support Him.

by Delegates Elected to Support Him.
staff correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Press, writing from Harrisburg
vention, tells as follows how the alleged
friends of congressman Leisenring
threw over their candidate for governor:
"Tonight both Connell and Leisenring
are out, this action having been taken
to help w. A. Stone. Mr. Conncl Is
of Mr.. Lesenring, he being absent in
Colorado, appears to be an exhibition of
bad faith on the part of his alleged
friends, who arg for the machine candi-
date. The facts are most significant
and illustrates how some of the things
are done.
"A meeting of the LeiSenring delegates
was held this evening. The LeiSenring
strength was twentyonc votes. Mr..
LeiSenrng had agreed that his name
would be presented to the convention.
but the Hon. Farmer" Kulp, who
claimed to be a Leisenring delegate, al
though he was on the w. A. Stone steer
ing committees, came to the meeting
He opened with lengthy speech, in
which he said that Leisenring had no
was to be nominated he would not vote
for LeiSenring.
"F. w. Wheaton, of Wikesbarre,
stated that he was elected in opposition
to Leisenring, and was not in favor of
having Leisenring's name presented
and that he was in favor of w. A. Stone
on the ground that it was practical
politics and Luzerne could get no share
of the small offices unless the delegates
stood by the machine.
"Mr. Harris, of Hazleton, stated that
he had to be for w. A. Stone because a
friend of his was candidate for the
Hazeton postoflice, and they had to
stand with Quay. However, he voted
for presenting the name. c. C. Bow
man, of Pittston, also opposed the pre-
senting of Leisenring's name, because
Luzerne would lose its share of patron
age.
"Mr. Davis, of Carbon, and Mr.. Hal
sey, of White Haven, stood by Leiscn-
ring to the end, and Mr. Halsey stated
he would not vote for w. A. Stone. The
truth of the matter is that every per-
sonal friend of Leisenring, the men
whom he relied on, came to Harrisburg
with determination to throw him over
and they succeeded. To "Farmer"
Kulp, more than anyone else, is due the
betrayal of Leisenring."

give a free show at the Cottage hall on
Saturday evening. They said the per-
formance was intended to draw a crowd
to whom the wonders of Kckapoo In
dian medicine could be related, but the
show became so yellow" that the actors
had to ring down the curtain and escape
via the secret exits before the program

the most horrible burlesque on variety

The practice of economy goes steadily
onward along the Lehgh Valley Rail =
road A number Of men who have been
drawing good salaries for comparatively
easy duty have had their salaries cut
to figure that the company believes
fits the duties, while others who have
been bent down with burden for years
have had them lightoned by very sub
stantla increase. The latest innova-
tion consists OF change in the hours
and duties of train despatchers and
operators at Delano. Instead of ten
hours u day as has been the practice for
years they will work eight hours. Three
despatchcrs will direct train movements,
one for each third of the twenty-four
hours, while each will be aided by a
COPPER, telegraph operator who assists
the dispatcher. Heretofore five or six
men handled this work by day and a
lesser number by night.
To enable ono man to attend to all
this work at once, all Offices on the
entire division have been connected with
one wire. In this way Delano may com
municate with Mt. Carmel, Mauch
Chunk, Freeland, Tomhicken or New
Boston junction with the same instru-
ment. 1t is expected that the new ar
rangemeht will go into effect within a
few days
