As the time for opening the public
schools is drawing near it is appropriate to
now warn the children who have been in
the habit of defscing walls and fences and
committing other acts of mischief about
the school properties that no such acts will
be tolerated by the school authorities this
term. The boys and girls must learn that
they can while away few idle moments al
much less expense to the taxpayers. Those
who do not heed this warning will have
cause for regret ere the Christmas candy

In conversation with a Lehigh Valley
railroad brakeman of large experience, on
the cause of numerous accidents he said:
IF you will carefully note it, you will fnd
that nine-tenths of the men who are injured
on the road are anna eurs, and the fault is
their own. On the start they are over
anxious to exert themselves. For instance
when am about to make coupling, il the
cars are coming together at what consider
a too high rate OF speed, just step aside
and let them come, giving the engineer a
chance to wake up.' This is seldom the
case with green hand He thinks he
must make coupling even if the train is
backing down upon him at the rate of forty
miles an hour, hence the many sickening
accidents that occur" think many old
brakemen might also profit by this advice.

Saturday to have the HERALD proclaim a
house in town disreputsble place. She
said she knew the place was one of low
character because one of her relatives was
among the occupants and when she passed
the place stones were thrown at her This
is hardly sufficient proof of the character
of the house, and certainly not sufficient
for the HERALD to make an attack upon
the place. This case is similar to one the

A Big Deal IN Coal Lands.
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COMPANY
SECURES AN OPTION ON TRACTS IN
THE scHUYKILL REGION.

TAMAouA, June mining circles
are interested in the prospective trans
fers of the only remaining large tracts
of undeveloped coal lands hereabouts
not controlled by corporations, it
having leaked out that Pennsylvania
railroad capitalists have secured an
option on the Silverton and ruscarora
lands and have begun prospectirg G
operations thereon.
The former lands are located near
Minersville, on the line of the new ex =
tension the Pennsylvania company is
constructing west from Pottsville, and
just as soon as some old legislation is
settled the new owners will take pro-
cession. The Tuscarora lands are a
little west of this place and contain
nearly 1000 acres of very valuable de-
posts. On the eastern border of this
tract the Reading company is opening
an immense new operation at Silver
Creek.
The Tuscarora lands are owned by
the estates of +. P. Govern, p. w.
Sheafer and others, whose representa-
tives have repeatedly refused offers of
over a thousand dollars an acre for
the property. The Sheafer family are
friendly to the Pennsylvania railroad,
and it was through them that Scranton
mining experts recently secured the
Chamberlain tract, on the northern
outskirts of Pottsville, for the Penn.
sylvania people.
President Frisbie, of the Schuylkill
and Lehish railroad, and the Lesen.
rings recently, it is said, offered Sr,5-
90 an acre for this tract, but could
not get it. Between 100000 and
100000 tons Of coal per annum
could be readily shipped from the
Tuscarora tract. The Sheafers ex
pected to consummate the deal with
out publicity, and refuse to affirm the
authenticity of the report, but suffi
cient has leaked out to pretty con
clusively prove that the Pennsylvania
can have the tract, and will take it il
prospecting warrants the payment o
the high price demanded. That thi
tract is very valuable is evidenced b,
the fac, that, in its present state o
wild mountain land, it is assessed al
average of several hundred dollars al
acre.

Colors in favor this year are all
shades Of pale green that verge on gray.
Do not choose the yellow green that
looks hot and must be most sparingly
used in hot weather. Chocolate brown
and green is a favorite combination
and good one. Gray always needs
some other tone combination to give
it character. Blush gray is detestable
and brings out all the sallowness in a
sallow person, but if gray you must
have, and in the night shade it is most
becoming, take that with the greenish
shade. 1t should be trimmed with
ether dark gray. brown or black. Never
mingle pink with the cold gray. 1t is l
mistake commonly made, but nothing
can be more crude. Pink and black
are linked together this year and pale
yellow with deep orange. With little
black, such combination.
