FREELAND, Pa, JUNE IL, 1900
Celebrate tho Fourth.

Freeland ought to have an old-fash-
ioned Fourth Of July celebration. This
is the one day in the year upon which
every good American can feel justified
in growing enthusiastic. There was
never more need to show genuine pat
riotism and an appreciation Of the true
meaning OF our Declaration of Indepen-
dence than at present. A rousng de-
monstration on the Fourth In every
town and hamlet in the land would go
further in restraining those who would
curtail the liberties OF the people than
any amount OF partisan discussion.
Let those who seek to force un-Ameri-
can systems and laws upon US know
that the mass of the people are still
watchful of their interests and pryi-
leges. This can be done in no better
way than by paying tribute to our
country on the anniversary OF its birth
as nation.

EIGHT AND A PIG.
The Bag Of Prisoners Made by One
U. s. Infantry Man.

Reports from the Philippines con-
tain much interesting matter Of a per-
sonal nature. An incident described
In report just received Mt the War
Department shows the gallantry of a
soldier of the regulars, Private John
Haney, of the Twenty second Infan-
try, who Is detached and serving with
loves scouts. He was posted by
Lieut.. Castner to guard a mountain
pass about twenty miles back of Vi
gan. The night was half gone when
Haney saw fire burning brightly
some little distance down the noun
tain side. Taking his carbine, he fol-
vowed wood trail which led toward
the light, and emerging into an open
Ing saw dimly the outlines of native
hut, and close about the fire the forms
Of eight Filipinos dressed in the fad
ed uniforms of the insurgent army.
Their guns were thrown aside In n
careless manner and they were all
deeply interested in the cooking of a
young pig that turned on the spit
above the fire. Creeping carefully for
ward Haney came to a position which
would give him a great advantage
should the rebels stand for a fight,
and then, leveling his piece, he called
on them to surrender.
They were thrown into the greatest
confusion by the unexpected appear
ance of the American, and, thinking
they were entirely surrounded, gave
themselves up without showing the
least resistance. Haney brought into
camp the eight men, one sergeant,
the same number of guns, and a little
pig beautifully roasted.-Chicago Tri-
bune.

THE MASTER OF STEAM,

The engineer is OF that class of men
that are intensely active. While he
seems to lead a passive life up there
In the cab, he is in reality one of the
most active of men. His energy goes
out with every throb of his engine,
and is restored by the thrill and the
excitement OF the run. No huntsman
riding to hounds secures more enjoy
ment from the chase than he does in
his favorite enginy.
When train is in motion all the
machinery of the engineer is in motion
also. save alone his limbs His eye is
on the lookout for danger ahead and
on the danger signal, the steam gauge,
on the Inside of the cab; his ear is on
the working of the various parts of his
locomotive, and his mind is occupied
with a myriad of things, all of which
bear directly on the action of the en-
gine and the safety of the passengers
tntrusted to. his care. He Is as 1t were.
the guardian OF great vault, whose
treasure is human lives, and he guards
this treasure with unremitting care.
Inside and outside of the cab the en-
gineer is two different men. When he
Is on duty he Is practically the car of
his little domain. No one dares touch
lever but himself; no one dares ham
die piece of machinery but himself
When he comes to a station he is out
OF and down from the cab in a minute
with his oil can in his hand. The car
whackers may take care of the coaches
II they will, but he must be on the
ground to feel and to oil the bearings.
He Is about the engine very much
what good housewife is among her
pans and china.

Beers Deserved Better Fate,

1t may be true that the British have
conquered the Beers, but how? With
an army of nearly 100000 men they
have managed to drive back an army Of
$4,000 men, after long delay and sue
cessive British defeats. No such blow
to the prestige OF British arms has been
delivered within a century. The case
was even more remarkable than was
that OF the American revolution, be-
cause now the British have had i'm
mense resources at home, in the shape
OF swift ocean steamers and unlimited
credit, and during all the South African
campaign there has been no European
foe to distract the attention OF the
British government. The Americans,
too, had the aid of France. The Beers
have fought alone and unaded, save by
a few foreign volunteers, and they de-
served better fate

CLARK TOOK IT ALL.
Hired a Washington Hotel Annex at
$4,000 a Month.

The city Of Washington Is not ex-
actly provincial, but the way a mod
ern up-to-date mining king spends his
money has been viewed with quite
as much astonishment there as a tally.
no in the village of Wayback. For
example: When Senator Clark, of
Montana, came to the capital he nat
urally began looking around for a
house. OF course, he had a house in
Butte, and $4,000, 900 palace in New
York, but he had to have n place to
stay there. So he bought the "Stew-
art Castle" This is the tremendous
old rundown, ramshackle edifice
owned by Senator William NJ. Stew
art, of Nevada. 1t has been on the
market for years, but nobody wanted
1t. 1t has been out Of repair so long
that 1t needs to be entirely rebuilt.
Weeds grow in the yard, the stairs
wander drunkenly, and the cement
with which the brick work is covered
has peeled off in blotches until the
place looks as If it had some skin dis
ease. The price paid by the million
aire is said to be $4,000.
Having secured Senator Stewards
house, the gentleman from Montana
began looking about for a place where
he could put up. He went to the Ar
lington Hotel and asked If they could
let him have about sixteen rooms en-
suite. The manager said they had no
more than that in the entire "annex."
well, how much do you want for the
annexT inquired Clark. "Ten thou
sand dollars a month";" replied the
manager. "All right; I'll take it."
And in few days Clark moved In.
He entertained his particular friends
here, and important witnesses who
came on from Montana to testify in
his trial stopped at the "annex."
The happiest man in the Senate now
is the venerable Stewart, of Nevada.
He is glad Clark came.-Chicago

placed shrubbery. Recognizing these
facts, Missourian has devised q
grass cutter especially adapted for
such purposes. 1t consists of single
large driving wheel, which operates
two horizontally placed grass cutters.
The operation of the latter is exactly
like that of the hair clippers used by
BARRIERS In cutting the hair close to
the back of the neck. These clippers
are operated by means Of a chain and
sprocket arrangement, which Is oper-
ated by small shaft geared to the
driving wheel, as will be understood
from an inspection Of the illustration.
The character of the cutters permits
of the very close cropping of the grass
in awkward and inaccessible posi-
tions.

Public Is Disappointed,

The new borough building, or Munic-
ipal building, as it is likely to hereafter
be known, is slowly rising, and the resi-
dents and taxpayers are getting an idea
OF what they will have for the money
they will contribute to its cost. Owing
to the secrecy which shrouded the
movements OF the men who contracted
for its erection, few people know exact
ly what the structure will be like when
completed. 1t is not haphazard state
ment, however, to say that so far the
building is a disappointment to the
public at large. From the foundation
up it bears indelible marks which will
serve while the building stands as
pointed fingers to the Incompetence, or
worse, OF the legislators who sanctioned
the contract that has been made.
Freeland voters and taxpayers deserved
better at the hands Of its chosen repre-
sentatives.

SINGLE MOTOR BICYCLES.
They Will Soon Come Into
More General Use.
CYCLE AND AUTOMOBILE
Three Styles Have Been Made-A
Combination of Automobile and Bi-
cycle-The New Machine Weighs
About Sixty Pounds.

The demand for bicycle with a
motive power has at last been met 1t
has the power and speed advantages
OF the big vehicle without its expense
and trouble. 1t is economical and con-
venient; 1t can take advantage of the
side paths where the roads are bad,
the same as can an ordinary wheel;
it can be kept at home handy for use
at any time of day or night; it re-
quires no stable and no coachman; its
repairing expense is small; it offers
chance for exercise at pedalling as
well as travel and fresh air. The dis
advantages 1t has are those of not
being as luxurious or stylish as a big
four-wheeler and not being able to
stand alone when halt ut u crossing
is necessary.
The first single motor cycle to be
made in New York was discovered a
few days ago by a reporter of the
Sun. 1t has been ridden LOO miles
and was seen in motion. The bicycle
Is not one specially designed for the
purpose. 1t Is an ordinary road wheel
weighing twenty-five pounds. The
motor and engine weigh together
with the feed tank and auxiliary at.
tachments, thirty-five pounds, making
total weight Of sixty pounds. The
motor Is twelve inches in height, and
