Suffering for Water,

SpeCldl 10 inc OlODe-
SHENANDOAH, Pa, July 27.-The peo-
pie living in the MahOning valley, east and
west from this place, are in an intense state
of excitement over the present
drought, which, if prolonged many
days, will result in great
suffering. st. Nicholas, Gilberton, Maiz-
vile, Mahoning Plain and other towns,
forming an aggregate population of 60, 600,
are absolutely without water, and, unless
rain soon puts in an appearance, the result
will be disastrous. The town of
GilbertOn, two miles east of this place,
having population of 8, 900 people, always
has been supplied with water from the
tanks at the colliery, hydrants and pumps
being entirely unknown on account of the
location of the town. Several weeks ago,
however, when the present drought set in,
the colliery officials notified the people that
no more water could be obtained at the
tanks for the present. This peremptory
order caused great uneaSiness among
the citizens, who began to real
iZe the position. The supply was
thus confined to a little spring about mile
distant, in which direction hundreds of peo-
pie could be seen going constantly, day and
night, with their pals. But the little
spring soon became exhausted and
FINALLY DRIED UP.
leaving the town absolutely without a drop
of water. A consultation was held among
the miners, of which the town is
principally composed, and it was re-
solved to have teams to haul water in
barrels from Frackville, four miles
distant and sell it at the rate of so cents
per barrel: but owing to the extreme pow
erty which exists everywhere in the coal
regions, it was discovered that they
could not afford to pay even this
small sum. They were, therefore.
obliged to suspend the hauling of water by
teams, and now long procession of people
make two trips daily with buckets to the
spring at Fackville, which offers no assur-
ance of lasting long. The same state of
affairs prevails at more than half dozen
towns in the Mahoning valley, which in
day or two will be virtually without drop
of water for either domestic or other use,
unless rain comes. During all of last
week the GOLFERS i'll the valley were
kept at work only by hauling water for
miles to supply the boilers, all of which
would be forced into idleness during the
present week, but for the fact that gem
eral suspension was ordered until next
Monday.

the state and its citizens. But this Is not III
tended as an invidious comparison OF the
two professions Each has its mission and
each is full of responsibility. The edu-
Gators OF our children carry with them
trust that Is near to our hearts as indi-
viduals. When the child is committed to
the care OF the teacher the parents at first
feel some misgivings, but, happily in our
state, this feeling of doubt generally soon
gives place to a sense of security and settles
down to a quiet study Of mental develop
ment in the maturing minds. The GLOBE
is glad TO be able to express its confidence
in both of the educational bodies which
will assemble here to-day. They are
composed of men of intelligence, hon
est intentions, and the grave inter-
ests committed to their care rest

to their comfort and extend every courtesy
to both organizations that an Open-hearted
hospitality can suggest.

"Tinseled crowns and purpled robes may
tell who mems kings are, but brains and
souls and ever living deeds proclaim COPS
kings" Diadems and scepters and mer-
ciless power constituted NAPoLEoN's ambi-
ton. GRANT had no thought of glory be-
yond the welfare of his country, and his
heart was always touched by the suffering
of others. In the hour Of his supremest
military achievement, when he stood the
victor at AppomattOx, his heart went out for
the necessities of his late foes. He con-
quered them more thoroughly by his simple
magnanimity than could have been done by
force of arms. Never did the greatness of
his character shine more resplendently than,
when the JOHNSON administration proposed
TO violate the generous terms he had given
LEES army, Grant threatened to resign
his commission rather than to abet an act of
such bad faith or be implicated in a trans
action so abhorrent TO his nature. The
widest imagination could not conceive of
NAPOLEON rising to this height of moral
greatness.

THE GLOBES PRIZE STORIES.


In another column will be found list OF
cash premiums offered by the GLOBE for
four of the best original stories contributed
TO its columns prior to the LIST day Of De
cember next. In offering these prizes 1t is
not only the GLOBES purpose to grace its
columns with the best productions OF our
Northwestern talent, but also to encourage
development of that literary genius among
the young people of the Northwest which
we know to exist. Notwithstanding the
false impression which has grown up in
other sections regarding the lack of culture
and literary taste in the western portion OF
the Union, the fact remains that there Is
more genuine cultivation and original
ity of thought and imagery among
the people of this section than almost
any other part of the national domain. We
recognize the fact that the same encourage
ment to its development has not been given
as i'll other sections; therefore the GLOBE
has felt inclined to begin the good work Of
arousing the latent talent in our midst by
opening its columns to people both old and
young who possess literary ambition, and
as an additional inducement now offers
cash prizes sufficiently large to make them
worth cOntending for. There is no field of
literature in this Northwestern country so
full of promise for young authors or so rich
i'm material as that of romantic fiction.
Romance is interviewer in the everyday
life of the Northwestern people. From the
generation which is Just fading away there
fingers a trace of the boundary line where

To-day two very important bodies Of edu-

the best possible service secured for the
education OF the Young Of our great and
growing state, and the mission OF the edi-

pub!ie's interest against all species of ag-
erosion. warn it of wrong-deing and en-
tighten it of the evils of society, and
advise it of what is going on in the inner
and the outer world. The GLOBE may be
pardoned for a natural leaning toward
the mission Of the editors. whose

principles, but goes grandly on to

IT is seldom that we are accorded the priVi-
lege of Witnessing the splendors OF such a
glorious sunset as that OF last evening. Such
a scene of wondrous glory makes us feel that
it is good TO be on the earth when such revela-
tons of beauty and power are made IL
called to mind the description Of stormfui
sunset thirty years ago, which immortalized
our present minister TO Turkey with the
name OF sunset" He describes the scene
opening in the west, with the whole horizon
fun OF golden interpenetrating luster. which
covered the foliage and frightened every OBJ
ject with its own rich dyes. The colors grew
deeper and deeper until the golden luster was
transformed into a storm cloud, full OF finest
lightning, which leaped in dazzling zigzag S
and around and over the city. The cloud
appeared in the azure belt in the
form of a castelated city. It became
more vivid, revealing forms of peerless fanes
and alabaster temples and glories rare and
grand in this mundane sphere. But the city
vanished only to give place to another isle,
where the most beautiful forms of foliage
appeared, imaginga paradise in the distant
and purified air."
