PINE GROVE SCHuOL ESTERTAISMENT.-
Last Friday evening we wendell our way to
the little brick school house near the pike
leading from Enmitsburg to Mechanics
town. To our surprise We found audience
enough TO be comfortably seated. Would
have been larger crowd if it hadn't been
far the extreme cold weather This enter
,aiument WAS gotten up by Miss Man2clla
IIarbaugh, her school, Prof Wilhidc and his
singing class at Pine Grove The audience
was entertained with music furnished by Mr.
l. Boilers string band, singing, speeches, rec
itations and dialogues The singing was
conducted by Prof Wlhidc aided by his
class Their sweet music rang out most cx-
quisitely. The speeches, recitations and dia-
logucs were conducted by Miss Manzclla
Harbaugh, and were magnticcntly perform
cd
We return hearty thanks to those who
were Interested in it, and think it great
credit to Miss M,nzclla for drilling them az
she did, and bcing SO successful. This was
the first attempt at having any kind of
an entertainment at that place.

The Alaska Fur Trade.

The Alaska Commercial Company, by its
lease Of the seal islands Of that country, en-
joys one of the most valuable franchises that
could possibly be secured. Under the pro-
visions of the company's lease of the Alaska
islands only limited number of seals NAV
be killed annually-l00,O 900 or so-and the
natural increase of the animals is many
times that. For these skins the Government
receives but 81 each, while they will net the
company about s2.5o0,000 If the govern
ment employees having supervision of the oper.
atoms of the Alaska Company are not cor.
rupt there can be no greater number of seals
taken.
The Pribyloff group of islands, over which
the Alaska Company has supreme control, are
800 miles from Sitka. and are simply small
rocky protrusions from the sea- The only
life one sees there is in the seal killing season,
which begins early 10 June and continues ali
summer, the skin of the seal being in its bes,
condition during these months. The seals
taken on the desolate shores of these distan,
Islands furnish the finest quality of seal fur
now to be obtained. The Antartic islands OF
Georgia and Desolafion formerly contained a
still finer clad seal, its value being twice that
of the Alaska seal, but as they were free
hunting grounds the animals long since be-
came so scarce that it did not pay to send
vessels TO their haunts after them. The last
time that seai-hunting party was sent to
those remote waters less than 100 were taken,
while the time is still within the memory of
seal hunters who are not yet old when catch
of 1000. 900 year on these islands was not
an uncommon thing. The northeast coast
of Alaska as far as Oonalaska is free seal
hunting ground, but the skins are far inferior
to the pelts taken in the Pribloff rockeries, as
the fishermen cali the seal haunts.
1t is not pleasant sight, the slaughtering
Of seals, nor is there anything in it requiring
heroism or the exercise of skill, or that will
awaken the lively emotions Of sportsman.
The sealing vessels begin to gather At the
islands early in June, and ii is q fact that

Women Who Won't Marry.

A Pittsburg woman, in the Despatch of
that city, bluntly and somewhat audaciously
says:
Men marry the rattle-brains of society.
They choose the pretty, good-for- nothing
girls, for that is the kind they like; they run
after and marry the liveliest girl at a picnic
or ball, though she may be "holy terror"
at home; they rush after the belle and the
heiress, though she may be selfish, spoiled
and silly; they pass by the jewels and take
"the snide," for that is all they know, and
then, like Adam, they blame the fruits of
their own folly on the woman. Twas ever
thus.
But brethren-we wish to break it to Won
gently-there are women right here at home,
who have their own money to spend as they
please; who have their own pleasant homes
and congenial occupations; who can, if the
fancy seizes them pack their trunks and take
jaunt to New Orleans, slip off to Washing
ton for few weeks, take in the cream of
New York, or the balmy airs of Florida: in
short, have royal time 10 any way they
choose, who call no man master, and who
wouldn't marry the best man that ever
stepped in shoe leather"
This will be shock to you, beloved breth-
rem, but it is none the less true. Women
lind pleasure and comfort and happiness out
side of matrimony. 1t is not fattering to
men. but there is a growing disinclinatien to
marriage among women. They are growing
more critical as to the measure of a man.
He will have to come Up to noble, higher
standard, or. in the poetical parlance of the
day, he will get cleft
