The Wealthy Sass0ons,

A traveller tells of treasure chambers
in Bagdad that rival the tales of the
Arabian Nights" Among these null
ti-millionaires are the Sassoons, whose
banking firm exercises the functions
Of great power throughout Asia.
Some members Of this family have be-
come Europeanized, having established
themselves in London, and one of them
Is married to Rothschild. A pass
port signed Sassoon is a safe conduct
throughout the widest regions of the
Himalayas, through Afghanistan or
Persia or Thibet. They deal with the
chiefs Of all the wandering tribes, such
transactions being mostly on honor.
The idea of failing the Sassoons is en-
tertained with as much dread and hor-
ror as death.

All Must Pay BOard.

When members of the queens fam
lily or any wandering German relatives
of high degree visit London and occu-
by apartments in Buckingham palace,
by invitation" they pay their board
Just like common folks in first-class
hotel. This prevents the sovereign
lady from having too much company
and makes things very pleasant for
the palace servants. The independence
1t gives some Of the royal guests is not
wholly appreciated by them, but, as the
queen early in Der reign determined
on this economical course, her subjects
cannot justly complain of her extrava-
gance. 1t is very expensive piece of
pleasure, being a guest of royalty, and
even the queens own children must
pay their way out Of their allowances,
when not directly under mammals roof.

Restore Peace at Once.


From the Philadelphia Record
Anybody with half an eye can see
that the thing to do in the Philippines
is to crush opposition and restore peace,
and to do it swiftly, surely and for good.
1t is too late to think of any other plan.
If the force at the command of General
Otis be too small-and the fact that it
is has become obvious to all not will
fully blind-it should be increased until
its adequacy for the purpose should be
beyond doubt.
Congress has invested the president
with ample power to deal with the
emergency. Under the circumstances
the potterng and wabbling policy of
the administraton-its anxious heark-
ening for popular approval and its
feeling of the public pulse-is sadly out
of place. Men who aspire to leadership
and yet shirk the responsibilities of
leaders present spectacle which is
anything but inspiring.
opportunism may serve in the manage
ment of division politics, but in military
affairs it will not do. The war in the
Philippines is not nearly over, notwith-
standing the late deluge of semi-official
bulletins from the war department as
scrting that it was; and it will never be
over until the situation shall be fully
understood and firmly and resolutely
met

MANUFACTURE OF MATCHES
Is One of tho Largest and Most Important
of Industries,

Is One of tho Largest and Most Important
of Industries.
The manufacture Of matches, trivial
as 1t may seem, is one of the largest
and most important existing. So large
an amount of money is invested in
their manufacture that in France 1t Is
Government monopoly and a consid-
erable portion Of the revenue of the
State is derived from this source. The
Yearly value Of the matches made in
England alone is said to amount to
nearly $10,O00,000 each year, and that
The numbers that the makers turn out
1aily exceed 300,000,OOO. In France
The Government monopoly is let to a
company for minimum annual pay
ment OF over $5,000,000, with a great
increase II certain number is ex-
,eeded. Among the largest factories
in Europe are those of the Scandinav-
Ian peninsula and England In Ger
many, however, there are between 200
and 800 factories. OF the dangerous
material phosphorus, which is employ
ed in the manufacture, between 1000
and 1000 tons are annually consumed
The general character of phosphorus
is that of an exceedingly inflammable
substance, burning slowly in the open
air and shining with a luminous ap-
pearance in the dark. In this state it
is one of the most poisonous sub
stances known, less than two grains
having been known to cause the death
of an adult human being, and innu-
merable cases have occurred OF chill
dren being poisoned by sucking the
ends Of few matches.
On the other hand, heated without
exposure to the air for some short time
the phosphorus changes into a red
powder, which is perfectly insoluble
in water, not combustible and not in
the slightest degree poisonous. In
this latter state it is mixed with other
substances and placed on the outside
of the boxes of what are termed safety
matches. These matches consist Of
uon-poisonous chemical materials that
will not ignite when struck on any or
dinary surface, but are Immediately
set on fire by rubbing on the box,
which is covered with a preparation Of
innocuous red phosphorus.
But, unfortunately, the public at
large prefers matches which will ignite
when struck on any surface and the
manufacture Of these is necessarily at
tended with risk to the workers, the
people who are most seriously affected

matches in the boxes in which they are
sold. BY practice their dexterity be-

ably take up in one hand the exact
number required.

Jasmine Pine stems,

In Turkey, the jasmine is extensively
grown for the manufacture Of pipe
stems. For this purpose the stems Of
the growing plant are trained with the
greatest care until they have attained
the proper length and size. The bark
is protected by wrapping Of varnish-
ed linen or calico. Two or thvee times
a year this will be taken off and the
bark treated to a citron juice bath.
This is said to give it the light color
so much sought after. Some of these
pipe stems are from ten to eighteen
feet In length and bring as much as
800 each.

FREELAND, PA, JUNE $, 1899.
Modern Republicanism.

The citizens of Freeland had an
opportunity on Monday of witnessing Il
typical demonstration of modern Re-
publcanism. The district convention
held here on that day was enough to
make the political purist abandon all
hope of ever again seeing politics con-
Quoted on the old lines, when merit and
not money was the leading factor in the
struggle for supremacy at party gather
ings.
In the ranks of the Republican party
in the Fourth legislative district there
are many voters, hundreds no doubt,
who have high ideals in politics and
who earnestly desire that their party
and society in general shall not be con-
taminated by the improper use of
money, power and prestige.
OF these voters we ask how long do
they suppose such conditions as pre-
vailed at the late convention can con-
tinue without lowering our standard of
civilization, and why do they persist in
supporting and accepting as leaders
those men who are debauching and
debasing the manhood of their party?
When respectable men will close their
eyes to the awful onslaughts that are
being made on the civic virtues and
patriotism of the people, when they will
tolerate and by their silence abet the
disgraceful scenes enacted at these
gatherings, what hope can they hold out
to themselves and to their fellow.
citizens who would purge society of the
baneful influences now at work which
are eating, cancer-like, the very founda
tions of our political system?
1t was not on Monday that money
power and prestige first appeared il
conventions held in the Fourth district
but never before did these three agencic
exert such an influence in determinin,
the result, and never before were the,
used so openly and unbushingly and b.
men from whom better politics ar
expected.
1t is unnecessary to go into details
When it is said that money and powe
without limit controlled the convention
all has been said that is necessary to in
form the average man of what tool
place.
If this convention was an exception t
the custom today prevailing in the Re
publican party, more stress might b
laid on its evil work, but it was not. /
was fair specimen of modern Republi
canism-a fair specimen of the qualit
of politics which has the nation, tn
state, the county and the district in it
