the LATEST III int department OI Abs
dies Dress.
Newmarkets and listers, such as
were worn years ago, figure among the
newest creations, and they are certain
ly bringing forth new ideas in long
cloaks, not of any particular length or
design, but in nearly all lengths. Elk
ceedingly smart are some of the redin-
gotes.
The regular coats aud jackets are
made longer, and the sleeves are mate
rally smaller. The rough cloth is used
quite as much as the smooth. The only
marked difference is that the fronts are
not tight-ftting, but the jackets are
well fitted in at the darts and do not
look exactly like tie regular loose
fronted styles.
Tight-ftting jackets are made Of
black velvet, with a very short basque,
and trimmed with sontache, passe
menterie and fur. Some are made to
close along bias line, reaching from
the shoulder to the center of the front,
and the sleeves are quite tight and

front and back, with very high-stand-

very handsome These also appear in
cloths of Russian green, Danish blue,
brown and tan.
Capes are still fashionable. Many of
the expensive styles are both lined and
bordered with fur, and the outer fabric

models, braided or strapped, are very
stylish.
The newest styles in sealskin coats
are llnee-length, while other ultra-fash
ionable models are extremely short,
some in Russian blouse style, with full
ness belted in at the waist, or they are
in fitted iaelet-shape with only few
inches in depth The boX-coat in seal
skin is very stylish.
Very Understanding collars appear on
all out-of-door eapes. jackets, coats and

There is little or no flare to the cores

Born with IA Needle in His Leg.

Mrs. Oscar Stanley, of Pittston, gave
birth to baby nine days ago. When
it was placed in care of the nurse she
found q rather peculiar pimple on the
inside of the thigh. She thought moth
ing of it at first, but it began to get
very sore and it also became very large.
On Tuesday when she was bathing the
child her hand came in contract with a
sharp projection. She called a physician
and he found that there was a needle in
the child. 1t was finally extracted and
proved to be two inches in length. 1t
was in the child when it was born. He
thinks the mother swallowed it prob
ably many years ago. The child is
sound as a dollar today and will never
be bothered because of the fact that he
was born with needle in him.

UPPER lEHlGH NOTES.

The Betterly death benefit dispute,
the Circumstances of which were explain
ed in these columns recently, was settled
finally on Saturday, when the employe es
received their September pay. Half a
days wages was deducted from each en-
ploye, Notwithstanding that the vote
taken on the question last week was 16s
to 60 against paying the money. Three
times the employees voted against pay
ing this claim. Some OF the men state
they have sought legal opinions and say
they have been advised to retain their
pay checks until they leave the COM
panys employ. The matter has caused
no small amount of i'll feeling in and
around the mines.
DIR. II. M. Neale was called yesterday

JENkS AT HAZlETON,
Rousing Reception Given the Democratic
State Candidates.

state Cand1dates.
One of the largest political meetings
held in the Hazleton region for years
took place on Saturday evening. The
Democratic state candidates were pres
ent and addressed the gathering, and
Hazle hall never held more enthu-
siastic body of men than was there
assembled. The meeting was presided
over by ex-State Chairman E. p. Kisner.
and on the stage sat many prominent
Democrats, every part of the lower end
being fully represented.
Hon. George A. jerks, the candidate
for governor, was the first speaker
His address was confined to state issues.
1t was mastery oration-calm and
dispassionate, but filed from beginning
to end with proofs of the terrible corrup-
tion that exists in the departments Of
state in Pennsylvania. He held the at
tention OF the audience steadily to the
end, and was frequently applauded.
William II. Sowden, of Lehigh county,
the candidate for lieutenant governor,
followed Mr. jerks. His address was
the most sensational of the evening.
The charges of dishonesty, common
thieving and robbery of public funds
which he made against Quay and the
tools Of the boss were not of the general
and vague order, but specific instances
were named and the proof furnished.
His story of the sale of postoiiices in
I,phiub which mi bl,,
failed to refute, was repeated, and sup
plemented with additional details of the
scandal attached to the appointment of
postmaster at Hazleton. He told how
Thomas A. Harris, of Lattimer, who
was sent to Harrisburg to vote for Leis-
enring for governor, was given notice in
the presence of C. w. Wilde, William
Schwartz and William Adams, at Har-
rsburg, that he (Harris) must vote for
Quay's man Stone for governor, other
wise Harris friend, William Powell,
would not be appointed postmaster at
Hazleton.
He told how Harris then betrayed
Leisenring at the command OF Boss Quay
and Congressman Morgan Il. Williams,
voting for Stone instead of for Leisen-
ring, and for this perfidy aud treachery
to the Republicans of the Fourth dis
trict Powell was given the postmaster
ship. Numerous other similar cases
were told of by the speaker.
Captain DeLacey, of Scranton, candi-
date for secretary of internal affairs,
who wears congressional medal for
bravery in the civil war, was next and
gave an entertaining speech.
Stanley w. Davenport, Joseph J. Nc
Ginty and DR.. Singer, county candi-
dates, also delivered addresses, and their
reception was such as to fully convince
them that lower Luzerne will do its duty

From the Nanticoke News, September 10.
The Niver Animatiscope Company pre-
sented its new and unrivalled entertain
ment to large and appreciative audi
ence on Saturday evening. Many in
teresting and thrilling life-motion scenes
OF the Spanish war were pro-
duced in picture form on canvas, life
size. The cavalry charge of Roosevelt's
Rough Riders near FL Cancy was exceed
ingly fine. The full charge can be seen
coming upward over the Cuban hills at
very rapid gallop until they come i'm
mediately before the audience and then
they pass in full size off the screen to
the right.
The famous dynamite gun is shown in
the battlefields while the cannons are
booming on all sides, as it was operated
by the Ohio volunteers at Abnita; the
wonderful gun is loaded before the au-
dience and discharged to the right in a
manner that makes one trembe on ac-
count of its likeness to reality.
The Seventy-first regiment Of New
York city is seen in parade and under a
difficult drill; the American flag waves
proudly over the brave boys as they
march along under martial tread; great
crowds of people are seen ON all sides
witnessing the event.
American marines are seen to climb
the flag pole in front of the Spanish fort
at Cavte, near Manila, and tear down
the hated Spanish ensign from its digni-
fed position and the Stars and Stripes
are raised instead. The scene of a bull
fight which took place at Seville, Spain,
while the Spanish American war was
hottest, was presented. There were
many other scenes which show men
struggling for their lives while the
American flag proudly floats over them
on the smoky battlefield. All pictures
are clear and distinct, being from the
jerky, eye-straining motion peculiar to
most picture machines.
Between the pictures the audience is
entertained by Edison's very latest
phonograph, which is very loud and
clear, being very distinctly heard in
every part of the auditorium. The rec
ords are appropriate and unexceled.
At the Grand opera house Wednesday
evening. Proceeds for the benefit OF
the English Baptist church.

More Mine Mules to Go.

The inside workings of the Shenan-
doah city collery, operated by the
Philadelphia and Reading Company, are
being inspected by representatives of
the Baldwin Locomotive Works, of
Philadelphia, for the purpose of intro
ducing compressed air engines to haul
cars through the mines, supplanting the
mule power now in use. The system is
working successfully in Drfton mines,
and the change will be made in the near
future in the Shenandoah collery, and
it is expected it will be the means of
saving many thousands of dollars and
doing away with mule power. At this
colliery there are sixty-tive mules en-
ployed, and it takes team of three
mules to haul nine cars a trip, whereas,
the new engines, it is claimed, can haul
at least twenty cars in each trip, and do
the work in half the time.

Chestnuts for Winter Use.

A good plan for storing chestnuts for
winter use is to place a small quantity of
salt in the bags with the nuts. They
will then become soft and sweet and any
worms which happen to be among them
will be driven out. The bags will be-
come covered with sweat caused by the
salt, but this will not impair the quality
Of the nuts in the slightest degree. This
plan is followed by many persons and is
considered one OF the best.
