They. Put Stamps On.

one peculiar condition created by the
souvenir post card craze that has pre-
vailed for the past few wears is the TACT
that people are putting one cent stamps
ON the government post cards that al
ready have the stamps printed upon
them. They are so in the habit OF put
ting stamps on the souvenir cards, that
when they buy government cards with
the stamps already on they Immediately
cover up the face OF Mckinley with q
picture OF r. Franklin, and thereby lose
one cent.
A repomerhas questioned several post
masters concerning the matter and they
say that there is scarcely day but they
see several government postals wifi
stamps pasted over the stamp alread!
printed on the postal.

On the MoOssc-Work Satis-
b0rSIy Progressing

The construction work ON the new
State Hospital for Criminal Insane, now
being erected at Fauview, is progressing
comparatively favorably. As is known
by our readers, ground was broken pre-
paratouy to beginning work ON October
3Ist, and since that date small namber
OF men and teams have been steadily
employed. On Monday of this week,
the 23d inst, large steam shovel ar
rived from Philadelphia, and the follow
ing day was set up and placed in posi-
tian for operation. There are at pres
ent from twenty-five to thirty teams, and
from sixty to seventy-five men steadily
employed, and it is the intention of the
Commission having charge of the work
to- crowd to completion, as rapidly as
good management will permit, this pres
ent contract which is for the erection of
two large institution buildings.
Some of the men engaged in the work
are housed i'm the different farm build
ings which were ON the grounds when
the State acquired possession of tine
property. Others are boarding with the
families convenient to the works, and
still others are boarding at Waymart.
Up to the present thine the GREATEST dif-
ficulty encountered by the Contractor
has been to secure board and lodging fo1
the employees. To partially overcome
this he purposes opening a commissary-
where a large number of tine employees
will be accommodated and by all the
families within radius of couple oi
miles of the hospital, each taking mum.
ber OF boarders, the entire difficulty will
be overcome.
Farview, i'm Canaan township, is at the
present time the scene OF greater busines:
activity than any other part of the coun.
ty. PARTIES wishing to- communicate
with the authorities may address theii
letters to Waymart or Carbondale, Lack

The recent shooting OF Ex-senator
Carmack, OF Tennessee, ior commenting
on the political methods OF Duncan b.
Cooper, in his newspaper, the Tennes-
sean, OF Nashville, has awakened much
CURIOSITY throughout the North respecting
the language that was held to- Justify the
shooting. Cooper WAS Democratic
leader, who had effected coalition OF
two warning factions in the party, where
by Carmack had been defeated for re
election to the Senate, and also for the
nomination for Governor. Carmack
then became editor of the Tennesseean,
and in its columns reflected with some
asperity ON Cooper. He was warmed by
Cooper to discontinue the use-'of his
name in the paper, and responded with
the following burlesque salutation:
"'To Mai. Duncan Brown Cooper, who
wrought the great coalition; who achiev-
ed the harmonious confluence OF incom-
patible elements; who welded the pew
ter handle to the wooden spoon; who
grated the dead bough to the living tree
ana maQe III 10 DlOOm ana DuTReOn dIo
bend with golden fruit; who made play
mates OF the lamb and leopard, and boon
companions of the spider and the fly
who made soda and vinegar dwell pla-
cidly in the same bottle, and who taught
oil and water how they might agree-'to
Mai. Duncan Brown Cooper, the great
diplomat OF the political Zweibund, be
all honor and glory forever.
From the general northern point ot
view, it is difficult to see in this anything
very offensive, and least OF all any provo
cation to murder. \ few honrs after its
appearance, however. Carmack, while
walking with lady, met Cooper and hi:
son, Robin j.. Cooper. Carmack ant
ungCooper at once pulled theirguns
and began firing, and it is still a question
which fired first. Cooper fired three
shots and Carmack two. Cooperrecei
a wound in his shoulder, and Carmacl
Was killed.

The Herald devotes all its editorial
space to- explaining its unsuccessful at
tempt todefeat Polk Hornbeck for Com
missioner, by publishing one OF its usual
just-before-election canards. Three wears
ago they published that Hornbeck and
Madden had agreed to pay Lawyers
Searle and Wilson So, 900 for their serv-
ices in regard to county bridges. This
was proven to be n falsehood, pure and
simple, and this wear they come out with
a communication that Hombeck placed
Bryan picture upside down on his HAN
cock property, the day that Bryan was
to pass through that town. The only
truth in this story was that Hornbeck
OWNS property at Hancock, and tht
Democrats OF thai town, knowing OF his
liberaliry, took tn, privilege of placing a
picture OF Bryan upon his property
while tlornbeck was away ON business
Ii is possible that the picture WAS placed
upside down, as the Bryantrs, who die
the placing were in very eXuberan
condition that da. On the other hand

the picture was right side M. The Ed
tor OF the ii>r i-.ias tie cam
era, knows tliat to look through glassc

that his informants all had cameras will
them that day. This question may ncvc
be solved, but it is a fact that few day

For several wears past, most OF the
Protestant denominations in the United
States and England have complained of
a lack OF capable young men for the
ministry. And now il seems that the
Catholic churches in this country are sui
fering from a dearth OF priests. Under
the new coast artillery law, the President
designated five army chapaincies to be
filled by Catholics, and sent circulars to
all the bishops asking them to suggest
suitable priests for this purpose. The
replies indicate that few, if any, can be
supplied. one bishop writes that he has
need Oi twenty more priests for diocesan
work, and can spare none. Another SAYS
he could put forty more to work ii he
had them. Another says that he has
lost many priests during the past year
and is now short OF help. Another de,
clares that the church could put tiftecI
hundred more priests to work Tomorrow
ii she had them. From every quarter
the replies were in the same strain, anc
it does not appear that any priests Cal
be obtained for the existing vacancies.

are long and pointy, and each nail is
ornamented with miniature picture

good portrait of himself,
Wang drew the pictures many
years ago with India ink and uses
a composition which keeps them from
wearing out. He used an extremely
fine needle to draw the sketches, and
they will perhaps last for life. Wang
trims his nails so that they will make
fitting framework for the pictures.
