The Jiggers of Rye whiskey.

Stott's level was among the first un-
derground openings from which coal
was brought TO the surface in ordi-
nary wheclbarrows. In these good old
days men worked all day from sun

rise to twilight, yet they were happy.
The lad who carried the loaded tin
kettle and dshed up the 'jggers' OF
pure rye whiskey to all the mine en-
ployes Is still among the living and
is ono of the most prominent residents
of the city. He was familiarly known
as the "grog boss" and no one was
half as welcome about the level as
he. The regular allowance to each
man was three "jiggers" per day, but
the miners and laborers who worked
In wet places were allowed double ra =
tion. Strange as II may seem, 1t is
related, and vouched for, that there
was not a dry place In all the work
ings known as Stott's level Plenty of
work and free grog was the rule, and
the men who We're the pioneers in coal
mining adhered strictly to both ends
of the requirement.

The City in 1851.

There is quite n curio in the exhibit
OF the map of the city In 1S51 1t Nas
published by +. human. The map is
about SKA feet, and a comparison OF IL
with the maps Of today does not show
any remarkable Improvement in their
production.
scrutiny Of the map reveals the
same names to the streets in the hill
section of the city as II today. There
are Belmont, Salem, Wayne. Wyoming.
Archibald Park, Spring, Washington
High, Terrace, Church and Main
streets. The only difference is that in
those days the hill streets were known
as North Park, North Wyoming, etc.
River street now was Water street
then. Pike street of today was called
the Wilkes-Barre road; and Lincoln
avenue was known as Foundry street
Between Archibald and Park streets
was a strip OF woods called Sweets

prints Of the homes Of James Arch

The Old Shop Bell.

The simple way in which the work
men at the Delaware and Hudson shop
were called back to their tasks after the
dinner hour is shown in an ordinary
butchers bell. che first used at the
fprops. Another like curio Is the first
door-bell that was used in Carbondale.

tached bell being tangled in fashion
that would be certain to startle the oc-
cupants of the house. This bell was
used in the residence of j. w. Burn
ham.
Another bell that will especially in
terest some of the old residents is the
one that the late Alfred Darte used at
the White Bridge school house to
gather the little band of scholars whom
he taught.

Archbald's Account Books.

The account books OF the Delaware
and Hudson road and the old gravity
are an interesting feature of the ex-
hibit. The former is a hand-ruled ac-
count book, about the size OF a med
ium-s sized ledger. The accounts are
those kept personally by James Arch
bald. On one side are the records of
the wages paid the men, the number
of tons they mined and the number OF
weeks board to be deducted. The ex-
penditures are on the other side of
the account. The other book is label
ed thus:
Accounts and calculations of Car

ner in which the several plans OF work
succeed each other on the line of work
together with the excavation, extra
bills, etc, beginning at Carbondale

WOOL TARIFF JUSTIFIED.

fore. Our wool manufacturers have
never been as prosperous before as
they have been been under the Ding
ley tariff bill. The surplus woolen
cloths brought in under the low Will
son tariff has operated greatly to their
injury, but those cloths have about
ceased to be menace in the market,
and therefore the outlook for the wool
manufacturers, as we'll as for the wool
growers. is very promising. The fact
that wages were advanced In all our
wooden mills under the Dipgley tariff
speaks volumes for that measure. The
price of wool in this country has been
the price abroad with the duty added,
so that the farmers have had the full
beheft of the tariff, and at the same
time woolen clothing was never cheap.
