ABOUT BANDS.
"Jack" McCarthy's Opinion of
Those in the RI gion.

Jack" Mccarthy, of the Hazleton
Sentinel, has missed his vocation by moi
attaching himself to Puck or Judge. Hear
him on the coal region bands:
Everv band, brass silver cornet OF
string in the coal region town is 'the best
in the region" if the local prints are to be
taken at face value.
In the counties of Luzerne, Carbon and
Schuylkill there are 129 regularly organ
lied bands, some of which are known to
fame and many of which are not, but if
the 1881 men that comprise them got to-
gether Niagara wouldn't be in it for noise.
Like the average fire company the
average coal region band is sort of ma
tional affair. You rarely find different
nstonalties represented and the idea OF
harmony in nationality is very often above
the idea of harmony in sound.
The Germans, Irish, Poles and Huns
lead in the band idea. There are SO bands
in which the mem bersbip is exclusively
German, 20 American, 10 Irish, IA Poles
Hungarians. This does not count in the
drum corps, Grade form of art in which
the American youths delight, nor does it
count string ban 's, but only 'parading'
bands, the acme of musical achievement
The band leader is the editor in chief of
the band He clips out the selections his
subordin stes grin out on the ambient air
upon all occasions from lively to serene q d
sad and in no single instance has a public
print ever had the temerity to call tbe
work of this parsonage bunny" or even
i'll advised,
1t will be remembered by the Ho7.
Robert K Pattison that when he brought
his austere and religious mug to Shenan-
doah that the band played Listen to My
Tale of Woe" and when the buoyant and
effervescent Mr.. Delamater came along it
ground out "Listen to the Mocking Bird
The case of the Westherly band that
played "Whst Shall the Harvest Be" while
serenading newly married couple is still
fresh in the public mind having been ever
since contributing cause to the celibacy OF
meu and the old msidenhood of women.
While the mistakes of the Moses who
leads band are not as likely to be pictured
in the public prints as the bad acting of
humble actor an outraged public sentiment
occasionally calls them down as in the case
of the Shamokin band which played
Johnny Get Your Gun" when coming
from funeral. When the collector went
around to the citizens for money to keep
the superb organization up to its high
standard of excellence" as the forbearing
editor pat it, he was sat upon and told to go
to the crowded regions below.

Whisperings Of The People Caught
on the Fly.

A OAO ~
Many of our townsmen attended court
to-day on license business.
The liverymen are in good humor. De-
nands for sleghs a.e coming in from all
quarters.
Coasting accidents continue. The latest
is that OF l. Robbins son. at Pottsville,
who had his skull fractured.
Some of the young men intrusted with
horses and sleighs on the streets are not as
careful as they should be. This is es-
pecially true when turSng corners.
Stringers and ties are being laid in the
excavation made for the electric railway on
West Coal street. The digging is pro-
gressing favorably and Gilbert street has
been reached.
Liveryman Daddow drove quite a Jolly
party to Ringtown last evening. Those
who took advantage of the fine sleighing
were Mr. ana Mrs. w. j. Jacobs, Mr..
and Mrs. AL. Broom, Mr.. aud Mrs. Daniel
Ellis, Jr., and Miss Annie johnson.

ON THE ALERT.

Last evening the survivors Of Com
pany B and d, of the old and popular
Seventh Regiment, National Guard,
met in Shalnokin to reorganize and
offer their services to the government
in the event of war being declared
with Chile. The members of Cap
tain Johnson's Company, H, of this
borough, also of the Sevt nth, are
anxious to do the same thing. Let a
call be issued 80 that Co. II may be
placed on proper footing. 1t may
mean its re-admission into the National
Guard. There is a strong feeling
among the young men of this COM
munity in favor of connecting them
selves with the National Guard and
prompt action would no doubt result
in the speedy formation of company
of material that would be suitable
successor of Shenandoah's old time
pride. Give the boys vent for their
patriotism. The spirit will never
AmOve them more than it does at the
present day and now is the time to

A Rarharnus SYM boil.

Next time you drop in ON your barber to
have shave or your hair cut ask him why
he has pole with white and red stripes on
it at his door. The chances are that he
will tell you it is to let people know there
is barber shop in thervicinity. Ask him
why such pole represents barber shop
and tell him not to talk politics or the
weather to you until he has answered and
you will have quiet time of it. Of course
you know, but in case you don't want to
bother telling him just clip this item and
induce him to paste it in his hat.
In olden times blood letting was believed
in and the ancient barber was the man
who made speciality of it-as, Also some
of them do today. The pole has nothing to
do with hair cutting or shaving; it repre-
sents the blood letting end of the profess
sion. The red stripes indicate the flow of
blood, the white stripes the linen bandages
used after the operation. If you succeed
in cornering your barber on this question,
ask him not to talk so much until he ac-
quires some information worth imparting.

Baby's metropolitan Journey.

The baby came from down south and has
pnlv been in town a few weeks, but she has
made the most of her time. She has a
black NANNY, mamma and some friends,
but she is herself 25I years old and has ad-
ventures of her own. The other day she
went out TO the florists with her mamma.
look after baby" said the mamma; Il
must run back for letter"
But the baby toddled along at the moth
er's skirts, so the friend returned to her
lowers. Then she went to meet the NAM
ma returning with the letter.
"Where is baby?"
''She went with you"
'No; she did not"
The conversation was not prolonged
The baby was nowhere to be seen. The POI
lice station seemed the likeliest place, and
the distracted women rushed there, but
without success. They sent kilograms to
knowing people for aid, and secuted the
neighborhood, with horse cars running by,
butcher, baker and groGers' carts dashing
by and curdling the blood in their veins.
The black nanny, ignorant of The town
and its ways, went down Tenth avenue in
curing if anybody had seen her baby.
Baby was standing on the corner of Forty
second street and Tenth avenue talking
cheerfully to the most typical little tough
IN the neigh borhood. The black NANNY
fell upon her with tears and kisses. Baby
was annoyed at the interruption. "Wat
you come for me for?" she asked. Baby
had made the journey from Fifty-seventh
street TO Forty crossing Tenth av-
enue three times, guided only by the little
eherub that sits up aloft, whose business
it is to look after the steps of the innocent
and the helpless.-New York Commercial

Early Disagreement of Anesthetics


1t was predicted that the most serious
malpractices would follow the int<oduc-
ton of the an2sthetic art. 1t was feared
that the art would be used by the robber,
by the murderer, by those who were desir-
GUS of committing deeds of violence, and
that, in short, it would be a means of put
ting the most dangerous and ready weapon
of evil ever dreamed of into the hands of
the evil disposed, the worst disposed of the
whole community.
1t was argued that the practice, however
safe and successful it might be, was sin
full, was opposed to the divinely appointed
decree, and could not be sustained except
in direct defiance of righteous law; eor
was not man born to suffer, and was not
pain part of the curse that had fallen on
man by his FIRST disobedience to the Al
mighty will?
1t was insisted on by more practical
group of directors that. as the process Of
anasthesia became general in its applica-
ton, the mortality induced by anBsthesia
would of itself be the death warrant of the
declared advancement and bring all it's
glory to the dust.-Dr. Richardson in
Longmans' Magazine.

Justice Greater Than Oh arity.

The one divine work-the one ordered
sacrifice-is to do justice, and, it is the last
we are ever inclined to do. Anything
rather than that. As much charity as you
choose, but no justice. Nay" you will
say, charity is greater than justice" Yes
it is greater; it is the summit of Justice
it is the temple of which justice is the
foundation. But you can't have the tor
without the bottom; you cannot build
upon charity. You must build upon jus
tice, for this main reason, that you have
not, at first, charity to build with. IL If
