Tho Original Strnhl Eamilv-

The famous Stroll Family, will give
a grand concert in School Hall on Sat
urday evening Dec. 26. This family
consists of father. mother and eight
children and are considered by many the
greatest musical wonder in the country.
Since this family appeared here a year
or so ago, two of the sons of Prof. W.
Il. Stroll withdrew from the "Original
Family and organized a scperate musi-
cal company which they called the ''W.
T. Stroll Ringing Rock Concert Com
pany." But after a sufficient trial they
disbanded and concluded It would be to
their advantage pecuniarly and other
wise, to return to their fathers we'll
known and well established organize
tion. Consequently those two sons, W.
L. Strohl-together with his wife Alice
A, Strickland Michael Strohl have
voluntarily rejoined the Original Stroll
Family. Now, the members of this
famous musical organization are all to-
gether again as before the separation,
And, also, with the addition of Mrs.
Alice A., wife of w. L. Stroll, who is
an expert in both vocal and instrumental
music. Thus the Stroll Family are now
fully equipped and ready to travel again
being better than ever before as they
have the added experience that time and
practice has given them. Prof. Stroll,
the father, can feel laudable pride in
having such n remarkable company
ten in number-four playing upon nine
instruments at the same time. Miss
Rebecca Stroll plays upon thee instru-
ments, b bass, bass drum and cymbals;
Wm. F., Chas. W, and Alice A. Stroll
each play upon two cornets all at the
same time. A musical performance
probably not eXcelled if equaled in the
world. In fact every member Of the
company possess tirst-class abilities in
the line of their profession, and either
single, or combined are well worth the
price Of admission TO their concerts. !
Admission IS and so cts, children - cts.

Christmas in the Lehighton SCHOOLS.

Wednesday afternoon was the scene
of number of very happy occurrances
in the schools of this borough, in which
the teachers seemed to fare exceedingly
well. In the high school, David Miller
a member of the A class, asked the
teacher permission to ''make a speech, !"
and in an excellent speech, in behalf of
the school, he presented the teacher, Mr..
j. Frank Barr, costly gold pen and
pencil. The teacher was taken COM
pletely by surprise, and in a few well
chosen words thanked his pupils for this
manifestation of their good will and
respect.
The other teachers also Jared very
well by receiving many tokens of regard,
and taken as a whole it shows that
though there may be an occasional
"rillle" IN the stream of school life, still,
these little remembrances show that the
pupils love their teachers and appreciate
the woik they do for them,

Wickedness Among Women.

The result of disclosures of immortality
in England have had one good effect.
The Hon. Mrs. Jeune, who has given the
labor of a lifetime to the rescue, SO far as
rescue was possible, of the fallen women
of London, tells what she knows about
the causes of their ruin and the value of
their testimony in an article of the Fort
nightly Reuieav. Mrs. Jeune says that it
is within her positive knowledge and
within that of all persons who have been
engaged in labors like her own that
ninety-nine out of every hundred of the
fallen women of London have been
brought to ruin by men of their own rank
and station in life. She denies that any
greater proportion than per cent OF the
crime and misery which have been so
fearfully stirred up can be traced to the
upper classes. This was to be taken as a
matter of course, though revelations of
immortality made have chiefly concerned
the aristocratic. The vice of the laborer
is the same in its results, but it attracts
less comment than in the case of the man
of prominence. Human nature is about
as bad without wealth as with it.

How President POik's Sister Was
Robbed of $1,000.

Mr.. Thomas Gallagher, one of the re-
gisters of the Eighth Ward, was talking
about the Irish people the other day
buchanan was of Irish descent, so was
Calhoun, SO was Pollock"
"You mean Polk" said bystander
"No. Pollock was his right name. His
sister lived near where 1 did. When my
Tommy was baptized 1 went into the
bank to get a twenty-dollar gold
piece changed to give the sponsors
S. to hand to the bishop At the same
time the sister of him, that was President
Polk, drove up in her coupe to draw
$1,000 to pay off some help at work on
her place. She came out and got into
her phaeton with the money in her hand.
Some young bloods were standing about
watching her. Just as she sat down in
the phaeton young fellow, bareheaded
and with pen behind his ear came out to
the carriage and said: 'Let me count
that again. 1 have made mistake.' She
handed him the money and he went back
into the bank She waited and waited,
and as he did not return she went into
the bank and asked if they had rectifed
the mistake and were ready to give her
her money again. "What mistake ?''
asked the clerk. Then she explained the
matter, and discovered that the young
man that had come out of the bank and
taken her money was thief He had
slipped out the back way and made his
escape. She never got the $1,000 of

of praise for Mr.. Dickson except such as
were meant to damn him." Indeed
Thy praise alone was his damnation.
Great sorrow gnaws at the heart OF
! the mighty Tribune, and to its
jaundiced eyes naught is clear. "But
when in his own good time Mr.. Dickson
forwarded his resignation, the sheet re-
ferred to appeared to be all taken aback !;
it suddenly finds that he has always been
'able, energetic, courteous and kind and
it is suddenly possessed OF a great fear
that Utah will not have so good a
prosecuting attorney for long time. !"
We are compelled to cry, In very deed !
You do err, err most wonderfully for one
SO wise. For long time since we have
fully known and fully appreciated the
worth of Mr.. Dickson, and of his assist
ant, Mr.. G. S. Varian. But why should
the serenity of the sublime Tribune be so
stirred by a paper that does not as yet
amount "even to a teazer?" Such
sights are most unseemly and detract
much from the majesty of the mighty
Tribune. "The king is dead and no one
can prevent hypocrites from shedding
crocodile tears upon his coffin'
clears, idle tears, know not what they
mean"
Finally, whatever was decent in the
article, could not save the writer from
adding enough of his own innate mean
ness at the bottom to show to every one
in Salt Lake who the author was"
To what does this refer? We are un-
able for a moment to imagine. Was it
this?
Mr.. Dickson is one of the very few Federal
officials we desire to see retained in office,
and he seems to have no political friends to
persuade him to withhold his resignation.
1t is strange how the unworthy hang on.
That reference was to Governor Murray,
for it is well-known fact that he wrote
out his resignation, and did not forward
it to Washington because friends request
ed him not to do so; and this explanation
of his resignation and the Withholding of
it we have seen in the Tribune, if we
mistake not. If there is any innate
meanness in that resignation it amt in
us. 1t was a downright shame to use
personal friendship to prevent the Gov
ernor from doing what he ardently (?)
desired. The rights of friendship have
their limits even in SO free country as
America. In conclusion, we would say
to the Tribune not to attribute its own
base motives for praise to others who
give an honest praise; and to its special
pets not to talk so much about resigning
unless they intend to resign.

without causing their own certain and
swift destruction
Apprehensions of serious trouble in
Utah are not new with the editor of The
Herald. Assurances, honestly given by
leading Mormons, that no violence was
meditated by their people, did not make
allowance foI the causes that are multi
plying and threaten to lead up to it. 1t
has been recently said in our hearing that
the people outside of Salt Lake in Utah
never read anything but the Bible, their
covenants and the Deseret NcWs. There is
probably truth enough in this statement
to furnish foundation for it, and it is
our preferred way of complimenting the
power and fixing the responsibility of the
Ne,Us in this crisis, that it may reconsider
its ways and resist such dangerous teach
ings as those of Apostle Grant, which we
deem it a duty to criticise for the good of
the people of Utah.

THE st. Louis street-car strikers so far
have conducted themselves peacefully
and quietly. The business men of the
city have been holding meeting to con-
slider the situation. Banker John s..
Perry was opposed to recognizing the
Knights of Labor, while iron merchant,
L. B. Ripley said that the way to treat
the rioters was to seize them by the
throat and make them respect the ma
jesty of the law; and there was much
sense in his suggestion. When men
band together for the purpose OF breaking
the law wholesale they are entitled to
no more respect than when they break
the law singly. A riot is a poor way to
adjust differences between employers and
employees.

SERIOUS TROUBLE BREWING IN
UTAH.

Under the above caption the Omaha
Herald of the 10th inst. has the following
editorial. We commend it to the serious
consideration of every true lover of Utah.
"As the writer of this article took oc-
caslon to warn those in authority not
long ago, there is constant liability to
serious trouble in Utah. When religious
tanaticism reaches the point of voluntary
marVrdom, cheap martyrdom, as it may
seem TO be to many who do not compre-
hend the reach of the real cause of it.
friends OF the victims of what they regard
as wanton and wicked persecution are
not apt to count the cost when fathers
and brothers are torn from their homes
to live and die in prison Remember.
there is limit" said Apostle Grant in
the tabernacle to great congregation
last Sunday, "and this limit must soon
be reached" Shouts of ''amen!" greeted
the threat that was aimed at Justice
Zane by name.
There is meaning to this that there is
no room to misunderstood when the cir
cumstances are considered. Such utter
ances, addressed by ono of the strong
men OF the Twelve, like Mr.. Grant, to
such men and women as compose the
mass OF the Mormon people, are, and are
meant to be, preparation for recourse to
the violence, of which they are an open
threat. If Mr.. Grant did not mean this.
there can be not the least doubt that the
people who responded to him with their
"amens!' greatly misunderstood what
he did mean.
Does the Deseret Neacs, our old friend.
get its own consent to be silent in the |
presence of Mr.. Grants insanity? If SO.
our surprise broadens into amazement at !
such possibility. Have President Tay- |
lor and John George Q. Cannon !
gone stark mad? Is it possible |
that they are to invite the de- |
structlon of their own people and handi-
work in the Salt Lake valley? Have they
no listening for the warnings and appeals
OF friends? Do these misguided men
suppose for an instant that they can in
cite their people to violence against the
government and laws of this great nation
