from the work done there and elsewhere

This is the season wien we have most to
fear from fire, and when every precaution
against this most dreaded of all dangers
should be taken Let every chimney,
flue, pipe and stove about your house be
carefully inspected, for in this matter an
ounce of prevention is surely worth many
tons of cure. As there will always be, IN
every community. a number of careless
people, and, in some cases, people who
don't care a cent what risk they subject
their neighbors and community to, our
town authorities should use every pos
sible means in their power to see that 10
avoidable danger is allowed to exist
Above all let us see that our fire appa-
ratus, even to the smallest and most
trivial part is kept in the best condition
and ready for the most effective service at
a moments notice. Such precautions
may save us from a terrible calamity.
Let the proper committee On fire see to
this, and also that every fire cistern in the
town is full and ready tor use at once.

A number of quite young men were
arrested in this place on Saturday Of last
week, and taken before Mayor Bauserman
who fined them one dollar and costs
which RIM up the amount against each
one to $3.50. The charge against them
was loud singing and noise upon the
streets at night. We did not hear any of
the evidence in these cases. and therefore
have no comments to make. But we d.
know that there has been far too much
noise, boisterous conduct and indiscrimi-
nate firing of pistols on the streets at
night, and the law-abiJing people now
look TO the town authorities to put stop
to such conduct in the future. Let the
heavy hand of the law fall upon every
offender, no matter who it may be, and
we will soon cease to be troubled in this
manner.

The long drought that has for about
four months afflicted this section still
prevails, and the outlook for our farmers
and for our people generally is anything
but encouraging. The wheat that has been
sown remains unsproated in the parched
and dusty earth, and the fields, generally
coated with the delicate green of this
coming crop, are as bare as when just mp
turned by the plow. The fall pasture, so
valuable for stock, has been an entire
failure, and in many cases feeding stock
has been a necessity for several weeks.
The drying up of the streams and ponds,
as well as the failure of wells and cisterns
is causing great inconvenience to many,
and in some sections people are compelled
to drive stock long distance to water
and have to haul the same precious fdid
several miles for home use. 1t seems to
be the opinion of our oldest people that
mover within their recollection has there
been so serious and damaging a drought.

margin OF difference in the ratio Of
coinage would not permit the impor-
tation OF India wheat TO England.
These facts explain why it is that
British ffnanciers are SO bitterly OPP
posed to free coinage. by depressing
tho price of silver in the United
States they can stimulate wheat
growing ia India, discourage Amer
lean imports, and realize a handsome
profit for themselves at the same
time, all at the expense of the Amer
lean farmer and the American min
or.
Shall this thing be allowed to COR
tinue? The question is the real is
sue OF the campaign. Republican
orators express great solictude lest
the American manufactures may be
brought into competition with the
English manufacturer; but these
same men are entirely willing that
the American farmer and the Amer
lean miner shall be ruined, the latter
by the low price Of silver, which re-
suits from decentralization, and the
former by the competition in India
wheat, which decentralization renders
possible. Out on such inconsistent

FOR HUMAN ASHES.

Columbarian Erected by an Eastern
Cemetery the First In the World.
Cremation has taken so firm q hold
upon the minds of the Pennsylvanians
that the directors of the Allegheny
Cemetery Company resolved, last Janu-
airy, to erect n columbarian upon the
company's property. This is built upon
the hillside and contains one hundred
inches or recesses for the reception of
urns. The material used is granite, and
the style of architecture followed is,
most appropriately, that of ancient
Greece. In describing the place the
Engineering Magazine says there are
live wide doors opening into as many
compartments. The central or main
entrance is that of the columbarium,
and on each side are two vaults. The
door opening into the columbarium is a
fine specimen of bronze open work,
through which q complete view of the
interior may be had. The main en-
trance is supported by four massive pill
lars and adds much to the beauty of
the structure. The doors of the vaults
are of massive bronze, and each opens
into 4 compartment for the reception of
urls. In the interior, which is finished
III GclIt COILiLI UlcrS Oh CeccSScS.
These arc SO constructed that 4 tablet
with an inscription or plate glass
front may be placed in them, as the
owners may desire. In the uppermost
tier each space is separated from the
next by an ornamental pillar, upon
which rests the end of one Of the arches
forming the roof, which is III the form
of dome, and is finished IN panels and
arches of terra Gotta. The rays of the
sun entering the apartment are soft
encd by stained slzylight. This is,
believe, the only building in the world
dedicated solely to the reception of hui
man ashes. Since the times of ancient
Greece and Rome no other has been
erected for such n purpose. Our Ger
man cousins are about to build one in
Berlin, but, SO far, this in Pennsylvania
stands alone.
