POTTSVILLE POSTMASTER,
Hon. G.. q. sohriuk, the Defeated Legis-
Iaror, Named For the Position.

Word was received IN Pottsvile yesterday
afternoon, from Congressman Biumm, to the
effect that he had sent in the name of Hon
@. c. Schrink as postmaster Of Pottsvlle, to
succeed Louis Stodregsn, the present incum-
bent. It had been generally known for the
past two weeks that Brumm would name
Schrinl, Notwithstanding the promises made
to another applicant and the protests entered
in the PostutCe Department at Washington
against the ex Legislators appointment.
There was but one other active candidate
outside Of the successful one, and that was
William r. Cole, formerly editor Of the
Miners Journal, ard who has many sins to
answer for during the recent campaign in his
enlogies of the defeated Republican candi-
date for Congress. We believe, however
Cole has repented.
1t is openly stated in Pottsville that
Brumm assured Mr.. Cole that he would re-
ceive the plum. aud even directed him how
to make the fight, but later told him he was
compelled to appoint Schrink. The Journal
this morning says Schrinks name has been
handed to Postmaster General Smith and
that the appointment will he made at once,
unless there is an unexpected hitch. &"
From what we can learn the appointment
will be held up until certain investigations
are made, and the appointee's political record
| inquired into.
Pottsvlle's new postmaster isn't yet ap.

No Telenhnne Extension.

Senator Kline president of the Hazleton

not now contemplate extending its lines to
this county. He said "You see it is this
way, the Schuylkill company was to secure
franchises and build lines to all the important
towns in Schuylkill, and had even 500, 600
worth of contracts. But for some reason or
other they were never able to secure the
Pottsvlle franchise. Whether the Bell Tele-
phone people were too much for them can
not say. Our agreement was to build the
line from this end as far as Lofty" The
local company would have built their line,
but the Pottsville Council refused to give an.
other company, outside of the Bell, right

A GLAD THANKSGIVING
WEATHER WAS IDEAL AND PEOPLE
THOROUGHLY ENJOYED III DAY.
Hotels Crowded at the Dinner Hour
Special Exercises at Differ
ent Institutions

"Thanksgivings amt what they used to
be- remarked a white-haired and feeble
old man on Monument Place yesterday aft
ernoon, as he leaned on his cane and stuck
his left and into the small of his back.
1T seems that the worlds all going wrong.
You see, when l was a small boy, up in
York State. we used to always figure on
having a sleghing party, and skating, and
dancing. an such things along with the big
turkey dinner, but lately there amt any
ice nor snow and the sun comes out like
a day in May. 1t ont seem like Thanks
giving TO ME. l suppose I'm getting old and
foolish, because all the people seem to en-
joy this as much as We did our cold
Thanksgiving. but 1t seems to me the
weather's changed along with the times
and customs and we old fellows are like
cats in strange garrets."
Yesterday did resemble a spring day, for
throughout the temperature was warm and
balmy. The sun came out brightly at 7
o'clock in a clear sky. but during the later
hours before noon it was almost obscured.
During the afternoon it reappeared, how
ever, and remained on duty until night
fall. The streets, aside from the open
theaters. took on the appearance of sun
day. Great numbers Of people were astir
at all hours, but the were either going
home with market baskets, going to church
or to the homes of friends for visits.
Large numbers of people from nearby
towns came to the city on all regular
trains and as a result the hotels and thea
tiers did a larger business than at any time
during the last few months. At the more
prominent ,-otels the evening dinner was
in such demand that the dining rooms had
to be filled in relays. there being at times
as high as a hunared people waiting for
seats. TIE Bates was compelled to close it's
dining room twice during the evening.
while the Denison, Grand, English and Oc-
cidental had much the same experience.
The evening performances at the theaters
drew large crowds.
All the public buildings were closed
throughout the day. The courts suspended
business and the postoffice employees
stopped work at 10 O'Clock.
