A QUAKER'S PRAYER.

Oh, that my eyes might closed be
To what becomes ne not to see!
Th at deafness might possess my ear
To what concerns me not 10 hear!
That truth my tongue might always tle
From ever speaking foolishly!
That no vain thought might ever rest
Or be conceived within my breast!
Wash, Lord, and purify my heart.
Aud make it claan in every part;
And when It's clean, Lord, keep 1t so,
For that is more than | can do.

it is ready to manufacture its product
Freeland will have brewery which
will not be surpassed, except in size and
capacity, by any other such plant in the
state.
The architect of the plant is r. K.
Clark, of Philadelphia. He will super
wise the construction of the buildings
and see that the work is performed
according to contract.
The Freeland Brewing Company is
composed entirely of local capitalists.
They realized that vast sum of money
was annually taken in profits from the
town through the purchase of beer,
and from which the town received
scarcely cent of value in return.
Believing that an opportunity existed
for profitable investment, and at the
same time that local labor could be
given employment that is now had by men
in towns, where the beer consumed here
comes from, they procured state
charter with authority to issue S35, ZOO
of capital stock. This sum will be in
creased in the near future to a larger
amount, according as the buildings
progress and machinery is installed,
and bonds to cover the balance of the
cost will be offered.
The officers and directors of the COM
pany are as follows Condy o. Boyle,
president; John Shigo, vice president;
James Timony, secretary and treasurer;
Peter Timony and Charles Dusheck.
All are known to be men upon whom
the town can rely to give local labor the
preference in every department of the
industry. Nearly all are men of means
who have made their money in the town
and are anxious that it shall prosper in
the future even greater than it has in
the past.

However, he intimated he lived at
Freeland, and Mr.. Mcclure carried him
back to town. He proved to be the
young son of Mr.. and Mrs. James A.

his parents to St. AIMS church yester-

POLITICAL CLUB.
Slavonians of North Side Have Perfected
u Permanent Organization.

| The Slavonian citizens of the North
Side recently formed political club
and yesterday they effected a permanent
organization under the name of the
Lincoln Slovenska Political Club of
Freeland. Membership is limited to
citizens of the United States who speak
the Slavish language.
| The object is to instruct the members
In their duties as freemen OF their
adopted country, to educate them in
the use of the ballot, to teach them the
aims and objects of the several political
parties, and fit them in every manner to
take an intelligent part in the various
questions which arise In local, state
and national affairs which are settled
at the ballot-box.
The more intelligent men of this
nationality in and around Freeland
have realized for some time past that
their countrymen, as whole, are not
qualified to exercise the privileges grant
ed them when they became citizens. To
place them on level with their fellow
men is the object of the club, and
under the guidance of sincere and
honest leaders the association will do a
wonderful amount of good.
| 1t is also the intention to have the
movement spread to other towns and
to continue until every Slavonian voter
In the country is competent to decide for
himself what he should do and how to
do 1t when political question arises.
The matter will be agtated through the
Slavonian press of the country and clubs
formed in every locality where Savon-
ians reside.
The Freeland club has elected the
following officers for the ensuing year:
President-John Gayda.
Vice observation-disclosures Yalch.
Secretary-John Mezsaros.
| Treasurer-John Taczak.
Meetings will be held the last Sunday
of every month in the basement of St.
Mary's Greek Catholic church on Fern
street.
As a further inducement to members
to continue In the ranks monthly dues
will be collected, and from this fund
funeral benefits will be paid to those
who die.

Majority of Merchants Have Agreed to
Lock Their Doors ut p. NJ.
The early closing movement has been
taken hold of by the merchants and
business people of town, and an agree
ment has been reached to close their
stores and shops at o'clock every even
Ing, except Mondays and Saturdays,
from Thursday next until September
5. Cards giving notice to this effect
are displayed in nearly every store of
town.
Those who canvassed tho town in be-
half OF the movement were favorabIy
received in all but a few of the estab.
lishments, and the number of signers
to the early closing agreement is evil
dence that all that was necessary to
make it a success was few earnest
leaders.
1t Is claimed, and with considerable
truth, that all the business of the town
can be easily accommodated between
the early morning hours and Z p. m.,
except on the days named, Mondays
and Saturdays. The clerks and pro-
prietors of the stores will thus receive
several extra hours of leisure each week
without giving any inconvenience to
their patrons.

CELEBRATE
THE FOURTH
Freeland Firemen Have Ar
ranged a Program.
Parade in the Afternoon
Will Be Followed by a
Monster Picnic at the
Public Park.

| Elsewhere 1t may not be considered
fashionable to celebrate the glorious
Fourth of July, but such, thanks to the
patriotic spirit that still lives on these
mountain tops, the anniversary of the
birth OF our republic will not pass with
out an effort being made to appropriately
observe Independence Day.
The custom of keeping alive in Free
land the sentiments that the occasion
should inspire has devolved for some
years past upon the Citizens Hose Com
pany, and July 4, 1900, will find the fire
laddies as willing as ever to do their
best to make the day one of the years S
greatest festivals.
Owing to the negligence OF number
of societies in failing to give definite
answer to the invitations sent them by
the firemen, the order of parade has not
yet been prepared. The column will
march promptly at 1.30 p. m. over the
usual route and will be dismissed at the
Public park.
| Prominent speakers will there address
the assemblage on topics of interest TO
all, and when the speeches are con-
cluded picnic will be conducted under
the auspices of the firemen.
Dancing and amusements of all kinds,
including sports of every description,
will be conducted on the grounds, and
at p. m. great display of fireworks
will take place. st. AIMS band will
furnish music during the day and even
ing.
The firemen are anxious that the or
ganizations which have not yet reported
their intention to participate in the
demonstration, will do so without
further delay, and the committee in
charge extends an invitation to every
body who can attend, to add honor to
the celebration with their presence.

of the Chippewas. descendant Of the
illustrious Chief Showwano. formerly
of Sault Ste. Marie. has been for many
years resident of Cleveland and de-
clares himself to be the champion ca

His tribal name is equally appropri-
ate to the winged flight Of his canoe,
as it is guided like darting arrow
through the rushing rapids of the
most turbulent rivers. Flying Cloud,
who is known in Cleveland by an Eng
lish name, resides on a we'll known
residence street. 1t is his wish that
the English name by which he is
known in Cleveland be not given to
this connection on account Of family
and business reasons. The tribesmsn
are equally adept in ascending or de-
scending the swift water Of the ST.

plishment is called running or shoot

Withstand the force of the current on

A false stroke of the paddle would

Many passengers are carried through
the rapids in this way with the In
