Oortelyou and the Lobby.

The Congressional lobby of the
express companies in its fight
against the establishment of tair
parcels post, has powerful alley
in postmaster General Cortelyou,
who, in his annual report, while
protesting to favor its establish
ment at some time in the distant
future opposes any serious action
in tnat direction at present.
This was to be expected. The
great corporations which contribut-
ed enormous sums to Mr.. Cortel-
you's corruption fund when he was
chairman of the National Republi-
can committee did not give away
money for nothing. They expect
ed to be taken account of.
Up to this time the express COM
panies with their lobby headed by
a Senator from the Empire State,
have been able to defeat every at
tempt to establish a reasonable par
cells post and they may do so dur
ing the existence of the Fifty-ninth
Congress, which is just getting into
working order, but the people of
the United States will not go on
forever paying six times as much
to send parcel through the post
Office as is paid by people in Euro
pean countries whose postal laws
are not made in the interest of ex-
press companies to enable them to
6lch enormous profits from the pub
lie for the benefit Of their stock
holders. -Iahri0t.

The three hundred saloonkeepers
arrested in Pottsville and vicinity
by the Law and Order Society for
Sunday selling will be called upon
to pay SIS each, $50 OF this being
for the fine and $25 for costs. Thus
the enormous sum Of $22, 500 will
be paid over. Half of each $50
fine or 81, 500 will be turned over
te the Law and Order Society to

officials of the Law and Order
Society expressed pleasure over the
result, but say no mercy will be
shown to those against whom they
have secured evidence.

Oan Not Dismiss Cadets

Secretary Bonaparte has found
that he has no power to dismiss
Midshipmen Coffin and Vandeveer
charged with hazing and completely
in hazing Midshipman Kimbrough.
This information was convened to
him by Attorney General Moody.
A few days ago Secretary Bona
parte submitted to the Attorney
General the abstract question as to
whether a cadet must be tried by
court martial as condition prece-
dent to his dismissal from the acad-
emy. He did not name the two
midshipmen above referred to, but
he did state that case had recently
arisen at the academy wherein two
midshipmen had hazed another
The Attorney General told the
Sectary that his conclusion was ad-
verse to the asserted right of tine
Secretary to dismiss a midshipman
and he promised to supply an opin-
ion in full legal form within a short
time.
1t is now the duty of Admiral
Sands, superintendent OF the Acad-
emy, to order Coffin and Vande-
veer to stand trial by court martial.

Fatal Storm in Wyoming Valley

A heavy rain and wind storm,
with practically the dimensions of
hurricane, swept the Wyoming
valley last Thursday morning. One
man was killed and property worth
thousands of dollars was destroyed
in Wilkes Barre city and surround
ing towns.
Telegraph and telephone wires
were broken down in all directions
and for several hours communica-
ton was cut off. The traction
companies wires also suffered and
the system was seriously crippled.
In Wilkes Barre large plaae glass
windows were blown in at several
of the big stores and streets were
Uttered with branches of trees,
signs and shutters which had been
torn from their fastenings.
AT Latin, north Of Wilkes Barre.
a large trestling leading to the
Delaware and Hudson Latin col
liery was overturned by the wind
and a Hungarian laborer was
crushed to death by the falling tim
bers. The trestling was four hun
dred feet long and seventy-fve feet
high.
Sans Souci Park, a summer resort
owned by Atlantic City capitalists,
was in the path of the storm and
several of the park buildings were
badly damaged. The upper por
ton of one of the great towers of
the Murgas wireless telegraph sys-
TEN, north of the city was snapped
off by the wind, causing loss Of
about So, 900.
At Plymouth, Pittston, Nanticoke
and other towns in the valley the
Storm also wrought considerable
damage.

Uncle Josh spruccby"

As a large audience was leaving
prominent New York theatre
recently, a very refined looking
lady was heard to remark to her
escort, THAT play is sweeter and
prettier than the clover blossoms
down in Clover Lane" The play
she had just witnessed was the
more than pastoral play, "Uncle
Josh Spruceby''. Could anything
prettier be said Of drama? ? Surely
not, and the manager of the COM
pany when told of the remark said
he considered it the greatest COM
pliment ever paid to any play, and
it would be the headline for his
handsomest announcements. 1t is
pretty play and one to please all
classes. The comedy, is comedy
and the heart interest is of more
than ordinary pathos. BY many OF
Our best critics it has been compared
to "The Old Homestead" and pct
without reason. We see all the
beauty and freshness of the green
fields, and almost imagine we in-
hale the fragrance of the new mown
hay, as we gaze with admiring eyes
OH the elegant stage settings. In
this tale of farm life the audience is
introduced to country life as it
really is, with its joys and its
sorrows, its laughter and its tears.
1t is play that will make you feel
better after seeing and make you
glad you did not miss the perform
ance, at the same time promising
yourself that you will surely see it
again. The company this season
is one of the best and no expense
has been spared in the production.

Dora Thorne, +" the idol of those
impressionable and romantic young
girls, who think Bertha M. Clay
"too sweet for anything" is on
the stage with lords and ladies, and
sires, and commoners who stalked
through the novel. The play bids
fair to outrival the popularity OF the
book, as it is being presented to
large audiences throughout the
country, and everywhere are mani
iestations of general approval. Miss
Sadie Marion heads a competent
cast Of players and in the title role,
is seen to excellent advantage.

Too True.

A post-mortem examination at
Reading the other day disclosed the
fact that a woman's heart was on the
right side. In these days so many
women's hearts are on the wrong
side that it is comforting to know
that occasionally there is one OH the
right side. However, women s
hearts are more likely to be found
on the right side than mems are,
and there are great many men
and women who haven't any heart
