A Wonderful Collection of Facts.

To those familiar with the almanac
issued by the Philadelphia Press the
announcement that the 1899 edition is
on sale is quite sufficient to induce pur-
chase. Those who have examined the
contents of the two previous volumes is
sued by that paper know that there is
not to be found in the United States
and, if not there, nowhere in the world
an almanac which surpasses the Press
foraccuracy. comprehensiyeness, variety
and attractiveness. 1t is volume of
of over 500 pages, replete with the in
formation that every citizen interested
n the past, the present OF the future of
the country in which he lives needs con-
stantly. What the Press does for the
news of the world daily its almanac
does for the events of the year.
There is not one department of human
activity which is not touched ON. 1t
answers the many questions concerning
the government of the United States
and of foreign nations, is u valuable
resume OF the war with Spain, abounds
with statistics from commercial and
industrial pursuits, tells the story Of the
part played by the Keystone boys in the
late war-and is, in fact, u complete
cyclopaedia of the worlds activities dur
ing 1898, and must be Indispensable to
every thinking American citizen. The
almanac may be had from newsdealers
or by sending a5 cents to the Press,

THREE GREAT NIGHTS.
Tigers Tenth Ball and Hops viii Eud
This Evening.

The tenth annual ball of The Tigers
Athletic Club took place on Friday even
ing, and the result added one more sue
cess to the long record of credita BILE
affairs that have been conducted bv the
organization. The management of a
ball on the scale outlined and advertised
for weeks prevons to this event would
tax the genius and ingenuity of greater
societies in larger towns to carry it to a
successful finish, nevertheless the club
was equal to tho occasion, and every
promise made TO the public was fulfilled
and every expectation of the people was
realized. Nothing of the kind had ever
before been attempted within radius
of many miles. and the clubs nnova-
tions and daring original ideas. with
nothing similar in the past to guide from
made the achievement of Friday evening
all the more praiseworthy.
The suberb decorations caused amaze
meat from local as we'll as from out
of-town visitors, being snch as to
battle an adequate description. The
uPPhi'hbig tHbl'NS Nti6diilS VI UdtIDlldl-
colored bunting, palms. holly and holly
hook, representing thousands of yards
il laid end to end. into which 5000 tiny
flags were placed, carried the eve to the
ceiling which was barely visible through
the mass OF evergreens, and to the walls.
where truly artistic work has been per-
formed in shaping appropriate designs,
covering every inch of available space.
The stage was a bower OF beauty, and
various colored incandescent lights and
arcs of several hues threw a lustre over
the scene that gave the whole an effect
really beautiful.
Every feature of the affair. from the
brilliant ballroom on the FIRST floor and
the spectators accommodations on the
second to the eating and other depart
ments on the third, was beyond criti-
csm. and the throngs made the spacious
building ring with genuine pleasure the
whole night. The program of the even
ing opened with march led by Master
of Ceremonies Peter G. Gallagher, Of
town, and Miss Mary A. Boyle, Of
Beaver Meadow. Dancing was con-
'tinued until 5 o'clock Saturday morning
to the strains of DePierros enlarged or
chestra.
The New Years Eve Hop on Saturday
evening was repetition of the success
of the previous night. The Business
Mems Dance tonight will close the af-
fair. st. AIMS band will supply the
dance music this evening.

A Northern business man living in
the South has found an agreeable cure
for insomnia. 1t answered perfectly
in his case, and no longer needing 1t
as medicine he continues it as food.
1t is a most agreeable dish of popcorn.
The corn is popped in the usual wire
basket, and while hot it is put in Il
hot bowl. Scalding milk is poured
over it, and in two minutes it is soft
and ready to be sprnkled with sugar,
unless salt and pepper are preferred.
The addition of little vanilla trans
forms the juvenile favorite into a deli
cate hasty pudding. To keep the corn
after gathering, put it Ton the cob) in
a cool place; if shelled it loses It's
moisture sooner, AID after awhile will
not pop The place where other corn
is kept is best to preserve it in. Pop
corn hot served in bowls of hot milk
is a Southern rejection at card par
ties.

Shortly after s o'clock yesterday morn
ing fire was discovered in Hugh Malloy's
building, Centre and Walnut streets. The
sound of the alarm was heard by few
people, owing to the high wind, and
some who did hear IL mstook the ring
ing for one of the several similar-toned
church bells. Those who responded
worked heroically in bitter cold and
located the blaze in the woodwork near
the chimney leading from the kitchens
OF Mr.. Malloys and Owen Peters resid-
ences.
The fire was eXtinguished before any
considerab damage had resulted, Mr..
Malloy's loss being about 500 to the
property. The cause of the fire was a
blocked chimney, considerable SCOT
having gathered from constant burning
OF wood in one Of Mr.. Peters stoves.

Narrow Escape of Four Miners.

Four men were entombed five hours
and narrowly escaped with their lives
from a run of quicksand at the No. IS
coliery of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarrc
Company at Wanamie mine on Friday
afternoon. They are: William Will
liams, miner; Frank Brown, Il MINER
John Nation, a miner; Mike Sefsky, a
laborer. So suddenly did it occur and
so rapid was the run of the quicksand
that the surface was affected almost as
soon as the workings, and the frame
house of Michael Polsue was sucked
gradually down into hole some thirty
feet in diameter and circular. Mrs.
Polsue and the children managed to
escape. Soon the Polsue house was half
engulfed and then it stopped.
AS soon as the news was heard mer
were sent down to warn the miners and
all were hurried out as fast as possible.
but it was found by the investigating
party that some men were shut in by
rush of the quicksand. At first it was
thought that many men were entom bed,

driver boy, staggered up the gangway.

qnicksand which was there about foot
deep. He said that he thought only four
men were caught-and so it proved.
The escape was Il narrow one. They
wero at work in the gangway about a
mile from the foot of the shaft. A blast
hred by Brown broke through the six
foot vein and into a vein of uuicksand.
lJ burst upon him like water. Run
for your life, Billy!' he shouted to
Fritzges' his driver boy, and as
Frit:ges raa Brown turned from the
road to safety and heroically dashed
up the gangway to warn Williams, Mat

but all of them hung in >the balance for
some time.

they climbed into the highest breast and
waited for their fate. The quicksand
arose until it Tapped their knees Then
the flow stopped and gradually subsidized
until they were able to wade out.

The expediency of having Citizens
Protective Associations in each county
of Pennsy ylrania has been suggested by
the Philadelphia Press, such organza-
tion. to assume the responsibility of
noting how the public officials conduct
the taxpayers business. A knowledge
of methods in county government aud
the frequent disparities in the cost of
supplies, or expense Of keeping the
states dependents, etc, commended the
wisdom OF careful supervision of the
kind suggested. Schuylkill county has
its Taxpayers Association that has re-
volutionized measures for reform in that
district. Luzerne has somewhat simi-
lar association. In other counties where
there is official looseness there is u quies-
cent submission to the way things are
going, because of disposition upon the
part of representative citizens not to
bother over public interests or fear of
antagonzing political powers.
The Luzerne Association has inst
demonstrated its usefulness by exposing
how it is done" in the recorders Office.
Other courthouse officials are to be ex-
amined later. Prior to six years ago the
recorder was paid in fees. aud now he
receives salary. Comparisons show
that 10 1887 that official employed three
clerks, to whom he paid So, 300 annual
wages. La 1897 there were seven clerks,
and the salary and clerk hire aggregated
S13,292. In this connection the asSocia-
ton calls attention to the alleged fact
that the recorder and his chief deputy
have done practically no Office work, aud
that the clerks have nursed their sine
cure places.
To further evidence the good service
of this association in uncovering abuses
of trust in Luzerne comfy, compari-
son with other counties of the state is
submitted, viz:
Philadelp phia-Number of clerks, 50;
papers filed in 1897, $1,000: remaining
unrecorded at end of year. none; salary
and clerk hire, S92, 900; average record
ing fee, So. 40; cost in salary and wages
for each paper recorded, SLIT.

ing fee, Sl.SS; cost in salary and wages
for each paper recorded, SLIT.

filed in 1897, $3.50; remaining unrecord-
ed at end Of year, 900, estimated; salary
and clerk hire, Sl3,29 average record

May Abandon Large CoIliery.

Considerable uneasiness is manifested
over the uncertainty of the future of
William Penn colliery, one of the largest
coal operations in the Shenandoah
region. 1t employs close to 500 men
and boys. The iifteen-year lease of
Stckney, Cunningham & Co.. of New

company declares it will not take re-
newal of the lease unless the Girard
estate reduces the royalty. Should the
latter refuse, the coliery will in all
