tim.
At the coronor's inquest three bullets
wero found in the body. Tho victim
was well dressed. He was about 40
years old, weighed 165 pounds and was
5 feet 8 inches in height.

est on bonds issued.
Thomas Welsh, of Walnut street, has
accepted a position with tho Freeland

MINES AND RAILROADS.
Speaking of the antagonism of the
Reading Company to labor organizations,
the Mahanoy City American says: "Most
of its salaried employes, in boih mine and
railway service, are compelled to do the
work of the spy and bull-dozer, and, if
they prize their jobs above their man
hood, in a very short time they become
metamorphosed into a brand of Pinkerton
thug more cruel and desperate than any
manufactured in the worst of Chicago's
slums. If the average P. and R. mine
boss of today is not wearing a Pinkerton
badge, it is because tho stock of badges
lias run out."
From all parts of tho coal field come
reports of mines suspended on account
of high water, due to last week's heavy
rains. The production for the week,
and tho month, will bo materially de
creased, as some collieries cannot re
sumo for some days to come. The
lessoned production will not affect the
market much, as the demand is light at
present and shorter hours are becoming
the rule at the mines, but considerable
expense will bo incurred by the opera
tors in clearing out the water.
Thomas D. Davis, formerly of Duryea,
is one of those entombed in tho Black
Diamond mine in Kings county, state
of Washington, where an explosion oc
curred two weeks ago. Mr. Davis and
his family moved West several years
ago.
No. 1 colliery, Oneida, is completely
drowned out, and several pumps and a
largo air-motor are under water. It
will take several weeks to pump out tho
water and clear the mine. A creek
broke into tho workings on Thursday.
William Waters, aged 72 years, em
ployed as a district mine inspector for
tho Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron Company for many years, died at
St. Clair on Friday. Ilis death was due
to the effects of a stroke of paralysis.
Mine Inspector Davles, of this dis
trict, reports eight accidents for Feb
ruary, all of which proved fata!. Three
met death in Gowen, three in Oakdale
and two in Ilarwood. There are four

Traus-Atlautic Trar.l,
Trans-Atlantic travel has reached it
point where all tho discomforts that
used to exist yoars ago in connection
with tho details of arranging trips are
no longer known, the railroads and
steamship companies furnishing facil
ities that remove any difficulty what
ever, and making It very easy and
simple for a passenger to complete his
arrangements.
The Lehigh Valloy Railroad has made
it a custom for some years of having
passenger representatives located at
New York city meet all Incoming pas
seuger steamers from European ports,
and also passengers arriving by its
trains, who are going abroad; and in
fact, attend to all business In connection
with arranging for hotel accommoda
tions, sleeping or parlor car tickets and
the checking of baggage, etc., etc.,
that is necessary for passengers destined
to points beyond New York via the Le
high Valley line, or the transfer to
stuamers of passengers and baggage,
looking after steamship accommoda
tions, etc.
Charles A. Foucart, who Is the steam
ship passengur agent representing til*
Lehigh Valley Railroad, Is always on
hand to meet Incoming steamers, and
will also meet parties on arrival of Le
high Valley trains, to see to their com
fortable transfer to the steamship.
"A Milk White Flag."
Playwright Hoyt has written many
successful comedies, but in no other
play does his satire show so keenly or
his humor shine with such brilliancy as
in "A Milk White Flag." His wit runs
wild, and that it is thoroughly appre
ciated and enjoyed by the public Is
testified to by the Immense business
which tills attraction has always done.
Its pretty girls, bright costumes and
handsome stage settings please tho oye,
Its stirring music pleases the ear and
quickens the blood, and the witty lines
and situations cause the fun to grow
uproarious, as the play runs smoothly
and swiftly to its triumphant and plct
uresquo conclusion.
First Spring Excursion to New York
Via the Lehigh Valley Railroad.
Tickets will bo sold and good going
from all points on tho Mahanoy and
Hazleton division (not including Potts
ville), March 14, at the low rate of B'-'.45

FOUND IN THE PALM
SOME OF ITS TRUTHS AND HOW
TO FIND THEM.
What the Lines, Dents, Curves and
Mounds In the Hand Show—Marks
That Portend Serious Results—How
They May Be Averted.
There are all sorts of palmists, the
same as of doctors, and the art is cap
able of just as much quackery. Too
many "professional" palmists mix a
little truth with a good deal of specu
lation, to please their patrons and get
trade. For the ordinary person al
ways does want to know a "little
more," and the person who will give
it to them is always a bit more attrac
tive (for the time being). But palm
istry is a real thing, there's no doubt
about that, and the more it is studied
and its conclusions verilied, the more
true and wonderful it proves itself to
be.
And it is an art that any one can
easily learn. Many a woman in our
cities who hasn't the usual talents to
help please a company, has been asked
to "read hands" at church and other
entertainments. I know one such
woman who is in constant demand
in her own city and neighboring places
yet she has never advertised herself in
any way and is very modest concern
ing the remarkable ability so many
others have attributed to her. I must
say that I was a skeptic myself until
personal contact disclosed a woman
who really did remarkable things,—
who read the lines Just as they were
written, and yet was constantly aston
ished to learn that they had expressed
the truth. No Inducement can make
her generalize or go "beyond the
lines." Quite a successful New York
clairvoyant and palmist said to her,
after a short consultation, "Madam,
you would never succeed in New York,
you are too honest. There is no need
to be quite so honest, and besides, if
you said a little more, it would please
better and not be much out of the
way." But our palmist looks with
awe on the wonderful lines, and with
childlike simplicity feels that she is
accountable to God for being as hon
est and accurate as possible; feels
that the more she strives for her ideal,
the closer she will be to God, and the
more she will act and speak as he
wishes her to do. Churches of every
denomination, associations of clubs
and the like, to say nothing of private
individuals, from a New York million
are and prominent business man down
down to the humbler classes (as far
as material prosperity goes) have all
been her patrons.
The left hand lines show character
istics with which you were born.
Those on the right hand are your
individuality lines, and also show
whether you have made better or
worse inherited qualities. The hand
lines will almost always vary more or
less on every hand. The vital line or
the line of life, is long and encircles
the mount of Venus, which gives long
life, free from illness; if the line of
health crossed It prominently, it would
mean probable death at the age indi
cated by the crossing. Age is counted
on the line of life. Many little lines
crossing the life line denote many ill
nesses or troubles. Other things are
denoted when separate lines rise or
fall from it. It is a Bign of a very
strong constitution to be without the
health line, but few are. It should
start from the bracelet or from the
line of life and go on toward the mount
of Mercury. If it Joins the line of
head, it shows tendency to brain at
tack from overwork or over-excite
ment. A cross on the line shows an
illness, the date of which must be
looked for on the line of life. The
longer the line of heart the more ideal
the love. Branches rising and falling
from the lino of heart show the in
fluence of other people on the affec
tions, and as these branches are
crossed or otherwise, so is the love
successful and returned, or disappoint
ed and unhappy. When a branch cuts
through the heart line and descends
beneath it, it is a sign of disappoint
ment. No branches mean a loveless
life, as far as the opposite sex is con
cerned. Dots and dents on the heart
line always show troubles, physical
or mental. A hand without any heart
line shows hard-heartedness and cruel
ty. When the line of head is sepa
rated from the line of life, it means
self confidence and rash impulsive
ness. When the lines are Joined as far
as the middle, great timidity. When
the head line is long and sloping, it
means imagination, artistic feeling,
poetry and but little judgment. If
curved in excess, it will bring folly and
delusion. If straight it means com
mon sense, care and economy. If the
line advances only to the middle, it
means want of spirit and balance.
The line of fate shows worldly success
or failure and the general course of
the life. If the fate line rises from the
line of life it is good and common. If
from the middle of the hand, a life of
trouble, but of hope and energy.
From the bracelet to the mount of
Saturn, great success. Of course,
there is a great deal more to say
about these lines and many others
not pictured and their influences over
one another. Stars, Bquares, triangles
and circles also have their meanings
One fact should be emphasized in
connection with palmistry. The
marks that portend serious results
mean that those results will very
probably take place unless the mode
of life as hitherto been practiced is
completely changed. And whether
the lack of health is due to brain,
heaiti or other organ is expressed by
the lines. A correct reading of the
hand lines, therofore, need in no case
cause depression, or hopelessness, but,
on the contrary, tin ambition to profit
by the warnings expressed, and thus
"cover up" the undesirable lines.—
