THE COMMISSIONERS OFFICE.

Much speculation is INDUCED in among the
Republicans as to the COmmissiOnership.
While the vacancy has existed for some time,
there is no immediate necessity for haste in
appointing a successor to Commissioner
Meyers. The two present members are con-
ducting the business of the Office satisfactory
to all concerned, and have been attentive to
their duties, with the exception of the week
in which Commissioner Kantner was indis-
posed.
Controller Charles A. Snyder's name has
been frequently used in connection with the
Commissionership, and there is not much
doubt that he could have the position were
he to press his claims. 1t is freely admitted
that he would make good official as he has
done in the position he occupies at present
His numerous friends have urged him to
become candidate, and while he might
accept the position if rendered him. he is not
a candidate in the sense of petitioning his
friends to urge his claims. 1t would not
surprise me, however, to hear Of some one
else appointed Commissioner, and Mr.. Snyder
made Solicitor for the county as the successor
of II. o. Bechtel who goes to the District
Attorneys office. In that event, both S.
Roll Beddall, of Port Carbon, and John
Kaufman, of the lower end are being urged
for the Commissionership. But let me give
you tip. Do not be surprised should this

Messrs. Walborn and Horgan, the two

Directors, who will control the appointments
at that institution after January 1st, have
held number of conferences but have not
yet made announcement rs to their choice.
In fact. it can be stated they have not agreed
on any one for the several places. The bone
of contention is the stewardship. For this
place there is a small army of hungry Demo
Gratis who have greatly disturbed the peace Of
mind of the Directors, and when the an
nouncements are made there will necessarily
be much dissatisfaction. NJ. j. Leahy, OF
Mahanoy City is urging his claims, but the

Not Tall EnOuRh.

JUST ut the time when vague reports
were beginning to creep abroad that
Germany was meditating fresh extern
sion of her frontier at the expense OF
Holland q Dutch official of high rank
happened to be visiting the coust Of
Berlin, and among other spectacles got
up to- annuse him review was organized
at Potsdam.
What does your excelrspcy think Of
our soldiers?" asked Prince Bismarck as
one of the regiments came marching
past in admirable order.
"They look as if they knew how to-
fight, replied the visitor gravely,, "but.
they are not quite tall enough.
The prince looked rather surprised,
but made no answer, and several other
regiments filed past in succession, but
the Dutehman's verdict upon each was
still the same, mot tall enough"
At length the grenadiers OF the guard
made their appearance-a magnificent
body of veterans, big and stalwart
enough to have satisfied even the giant
loving father of Frederick the Great,
but the memorable critic merely said,
"Fine soldiers, but not tall enough. !"
Then Prince Bismarck rejoined :
"These grenadiers are the finest men in
our whole army. May l ask what your
excellency is pleased to mean by saying
that they are not tall enough"
The Dutchman looked him full in the
face and replied, with significant en-
phasis, Il mean that we can flood our
country "a feet deep. London Tit

Brave Rescue of General Payne. by Some
Negro Volunteers.
1.-THE most daredevil piece of hero
ism ever saw was by some negroes be-
fore Fort Pillow, when / was prison
er inside the fort and General Payne
was lying in front of it with his leg
shot off, I" was the way Charles Cotton
Of Company G of the One Hundred and
Sixty-fr New York infantry began a
story Of valiant rescue that he told to
some negro veterans.
General Payne's leg had been shot
off in the first charge" he continued,
land he was lying hidden behind some
rocks in front of the fort, when his
troops were forming plans to rescue
him. The scathing fire from the fort
swept that spot, and no officer dared to
command any of his men to go to GER
tain death in what looked like vain
attempt to rescue their chief.
while the men were celebrating q
negro stepped up and said, I'VE might
as well run our chances now as any 9TH
er time, and l for one will make the
attempt. He was handsome fellow,
and the spirit he displayed was at once
equaled by that of III other negroes,
who stepped out and volunteered their
services. A stretcher was brought, and
four of them started, but had gone only
few yards when every one was shot
dead. A moment after four others of
the volunteers rushed out, and, picking
up the stretcher. carried it few yards
farther. when they, too, were killed.
The four who were left went ahead as
if nothing had happened. and two Of
them came back alive with the general,
while the other two were left dead at
the pile Of rocks where General Payne
had been lying General Payne is still
living, and, am told. the two noble
fellows who rescued him have wanted
for nothing ever since. Buffalo Ex-

The Almost Uncomfortable Amount Of Lum.

The Almost Uncomfortable Amount OF Lum.
Der Cut In Wisconsin and Minnesota.
1.-THE Story Of Pine Board" is the
title of All article by w. s. HARDWOOD in
st. Nicholas. MI. HARDWOOD says of the
numbering in Wisconsin and Minnesota:
About AGO, 100000 feet of logs
were cut in the season of 1S95-that is
to say, what is equivalent to 4, 160, 000,-
600 pieces Of board ~ inches square and
inch think. Iwonder if even the lum-
Der men themselves, and the log cutters,
and the manufacturers Of lumber in the
great mills, realize what an enormous
amount of lumber this is. Why, it
would build hoase around the globe,
with main room ten feet high and
large attic, ceiling up the inside walls
and roof with sweet, fragrant pine. 1t
wonld put down matched foor. and
them when the house was all com-
pletej, there would be left enoagh lum-
Der to- build tight board fences ezS either
side Of the house 80 fest high ttsewhole
distance around the globe. Besides all
this there would be shingles enough for
a good psrtjon Of the house, and then,
if the mighty builder Of such a globe
girdling house wanted to'fit it up lit
tie more neatly, there would be large
supply of hnhs, and. l suppose, the
plasterers could furnish him. enough
stucco and lime.
Or If he wanted to construct root
shelter for all the people ON the globe
our mighty builder could accommodate
them all, allowing 10 each man. woman
and child clean space of two square
feet in which to- stand, and still have
room left over for 500. 600, 900 men
with the same room in which 10 stand.
And, to look at it, in still another way,
this same builder would have material
to construct bicycle path of pine, lit
tie over two feet wide, from the earth
to the moon, for there would be nearly
500, 900 miles of board foot wide and
an inch thick In saving this lumber up
into the required length and thickness
there was great waste IL sawdust-so
great indeed, thas the sawdust1 pile
would stand liz fset high on a city
square and 500 feet square at the base.
and this is saying nothing about the
vast amount of pieces of slabs which
are split up into kirdlings
This enormous Quantity of lumber
represents merely the output of two
forests-one in the northwestern part OF
the state of Wisconsin, and the other in
the northern part of the state of Mime
sofa, and at the rate she logs are being
cut up there will not be piece Of pine
forest standing in alb this vast region at
the end of ten years anless something is
done by the government to put a. stop
to the rayages.

ENGLAND WANTED WAR.
Held Back From Fighting France In 1893
by the German Emperor.

Held Back From Fighting France In 1893
by the German Emperor.
The Gaulois, in Paris, recently re-
lated in considerable detail that during
the Siamese imbroglio of 1898 England
was ON the verge of declaring war
against France. The power that opposed
the war most vigorously was Germany.
In fact, said the Gaulois, the war was
prevented by the German emperor.
Sat that time said the Gaulois,
Emperor William was at Cowes with
his yacht. He had won regatta prize
from Lord Dunraven 8 Valkyrie and the
Prince Of Wales Britannia. He appear
ed, literally as we'll as figuratively, to
swim in English waters. It was as he
SIT at dinner in the house of the Royal
Yacht squadron that he received from
Count Hatzfeldt the news that the Eng
lish government intended to declare war
against France. The emperor rose from
the table, laid aside his napkin and sent
a dispatch empowering his ambassador
in London to protest against Lord Rose
bery's programme. Moreover, he be-
took himself at once to Osborne House
to announce to his grandmother that he
never could approve such course as re-
CARDS SIAM"
Sometimes Paris newspapers publish
articles on European politics that lack
all foundation in fact, and the amazing
story told by the Gaulois might have
been dismissed as one of them had it
not been confirmed at once by the Koel-
nische Zeitung, probably the most trust
worthy journal on the European conti-
nent. The Koelnische lettings Paris
correspondent was at Cowes with the
emperor in 1898. AS soon as the eau.
lois had made it's statement he corrobo-
rated it, Among the influential English
men at Cowes, he said, it was then
common talk that the German emperor
was England's ally against Siam and
France. Lord Dufferin, then English
ambassador i'm Paris, had come to Cowes
to conclude the negotiations for an ALI
ance, but had been met with the emper-
or's blunt refusal to take the active part
that England wished to assign him. The
Koelnische lettings correspondent as
serts that the correctness Of this state

New Postage Stamp.

For the third time In the history OF
the nation, in recognition of the impor'
lance of a brilliant enterprise Postmas'
ter General Gary has decided to order
series of special postage stamps, com.
memorative of the holding of the Trans
Mississippi and International Exposi
ton at Omaha in 1898. The stamps
will be issued in denominations of l.
cent, 2-cent, scent, 10-cent and 81. In
issuing these special stamps it is not
designed to withdraw from sale the
current series as was the case during
the Worlds Fair.
AS it is the aim of the Postmaster
General to give the Exposition il ser,
les of stamps that will not only be art
istic in character but which will apply
to all classes of people and be especial
ly typical of the Greater West it is sug,
gested that possibly one of the demon
nations might have on the face re
production of IL celebrated painting,
Fremont Hosting the Flag or the
Rocky Mountains" Other prominent
men and events in connection with Fhe
western territory, typical of its marvel
GUS development and progress during
the past one hundred years, are SOg-
gested. Among these is the well
known statute of the distinguished lea
der and statesman, United States Sen
atOr Thomas III. Benton, at st. Louis,
which bears upon one side of the base
a quotation from one OF BentOn'S eel
ebrated speeches, wherein he outlined
the possibilities of the country beyond
the Mississippi. 1t has been thought
that the Benton statue would be an ap.
prOprate design for one of the stamps.
The complex picture which hangs in
the south corridor of the capitol,
known as"Westward no, mathematical
of the hardships attendant upon a pio-
neers, and suggested by Bishop Berk-
ley's quotation. Westward tine course
of empire lakes it's way" is also
proposed.
A representation of the picture "De
Soto's Discovery of the Mississippi riv.
En-" in the rOtunda of the capitol at
Washington, is suggested for use Oh
one of the stamps. The stamps will
be different in color from the regular
series. In shape they will resemble
the columbian stamp issued in com
memOration of the Worlds Fair The
new ones will be twice the size of the
present postage stamp. The Trans
Mississippi stamps will be sought after
by collectors, and as there are nearly
half a million of those people im the
world, the government, instead of be,
ing philanthropic, expects to realize
hansomely upon this issue. Conm
bian stamps today are selling at prices
many times higher than was once paid
for them and they are growing more
valuable each year. 1t is the same
way with the Centennial stamp, and il
will also be true with the Trans Missis
sippi stamp.
The Assistant Postmaster Genera
Merritt, invites suggestions of scenes
for use of stamps, it being the desire
of the post office authorities to give
the Trans Mississippi and Information
al Exposition the handsomeSt set o
stamps ever issued to commemorate
an exposition.

Follow her with tender eyes,
Look 80 lovingly that she
Cannot choose but think Of me.
Watch her kindly, stars
Soothe her sweetly, night.
On her eyes, o'erwearied, press
The tired lids with light caress.
Let that shadowy hand Of thine
Ever in her dreams seem mine.
Soothe her sweetly, night!
Wake her gently, morn.
Let the notes of early birds
Seem like loves melodious words.
Every pleasant sound my dear,
When she stirs from sleep, should hear
Wake her gently, mornl
Kiss her softly, winds.
Softly that she may not miss
ANY sweet, accustomed bliss.
