stand to-day indorsed by not only the
highest medical authorities, but by millions
OF grateful patients who have proved their
efficacy as a household remedy.

nan, Williams, Bsehman, Cable Baird,

Mr. Trezise said he noticed that the
Union street night school was being opened
at $50 every evening. The board decided
that all the night schools shall open at the
same hour.
Mr.. Toomey, of Brownsville, asked the
board to allow his two children to attend a
town school without payment of tuition
fees. He was asked why they could not at
tend the Brownsville school. Mr.. Toomey
said the teacher there had abused the chill
dren. He was then asked if the matter
had been drawn to the attention of the
School Board. He said it had and that
body insisted upon an apology being made
to the teacher. 1t was decided that Mr.
Toomey's children may attend the town
school upon payment of the regular tut
ton fees charged non-residents.

chimney through the centre of the White
! street school building. Last night the
board decided to defer the work until va

Director R. A. Davenport upon the death
of his wife were read, adopted and ordered
to be published.
pne subject of devising plan by which
the borough assessors may be enabled to
make more complete assessments was dis
cussed at length. The matter will receive
attention in the near future. Said di-
rector after the meeting; 81 see the Potts
vile Miners Journal has raised the point
that county seat properties are assessed a.
one-half their value, while Shenandoah
assessments are made at but one-quarter.
The Journal urges the assessors to give
special attention to Shenandoah. 1 say
Amen ! and let the assessors start on the
properties in town owned by Pottsville
parties. Let them fad out why il is thai
10 mention is made on the borough dupli-
cate of the properties owned by the p, &
r @. & l. Co. With the properties of the
company on limerick, White, Bowers and
other streets asst ssed the assessors will be
making some advance towards the reform
asked for by the Journal"

THE present unprecedented business
disturbance and financial depression
in England are largely attributed to
the effect of the Mckinley tariff by
an example of this feeling the follow
ing sentiment was published in q
recent edition of the London Fnon-

1t is to be hoped that the American
people will tear up the Mckinley law
root and branch, and signs are not
wanting that it will come about. The
Welsh manufacturers have strong.
sided champions in Chicago and

THE Democratic Congress, under
the whip and spur of the Democratic
press, has promised to cut down the
approl riations at least 800, 100000 at
this season. Where will the crippling
programme begin? That is the ques-
ton that confronts the Democracy. 1t
already realizes that it is a very
serious question. Several newspapers
that were loudest few months ago in
denunciation of a so called "Billion
Dollar Congress" now admit that this
is a growing country; that the de-
mands upon the public treasury are
necessarily increasing; that the pro-
lection of domestic interests, the care
of the pensioner, the extension of the
postal service, the needs OF the
Agricultural Department, of the new
navy, and of the Worlds Fair, all call
for larger, and not smaller appropria.
tions. The Democratic Congress is
advised that this is great country.
Generous appropriations by Congress
have not been made in the interests of
the thickly settled and Republican
East, but largely for the Democratic
South and the growing and expanding
states of the West and of the Pacific
coast. The "Billion Dollar Congress"
was good enough cry for election
purposes, but it is not too early to
predict that very little Of it will be
heard during this session of Congress.

Wilhelm is considering the advisa-
bility of submitting himself to a
thorough examination by an interna-
tional medical and surgical commission
in order to summarily suppress the
frequent assertions in the English, the
French and the American press that
he is more or less insane. A more
effective means to secure this end
would be to suppress some of the
Kaiser's speeches.

LONDON, Jan. T. - Henry Irving's
second son, Lawrence, either intention

day afternoon at his lodgings in Bel

The news of his son having shot himself
did not reach Henry Irving until the play
had commenced at the Lyceum last
evening, The actor retained his com
posure remarkably, but this was partly
attributed Il the fact that the announce

Gov. HILLS proposed Democratic
policy of repeal does not meet the APP
proval of his party. 1t is said that
the repeal of the Mckinley act would
not revive the former tariff act, but
would leave us without any tariff law
whatever. Perhaps the Governor is a
bfree trader and is seeking that end by
his usual circuitous route.
