longer be done, under penalty of heavy
fne." The theory of the writer is very
incorrect. So far as this section OF the
mining region is concerned girls have
never been employed about the collieries.
The condition of the public schools of
Shenandoah is such as is produced by bona
fde interest and through no fear of any
law. There are no people in the state who
take more interest in the public schools
than the miners of this section and it is
hardly fair to say that the standard of our
schools has been attained by reason of a
law preventing the children from being
bread winners.
The Supervisor is doing good work.
South Jsrdin street has been greatly inn
proved by filling up the large holes There
are other streets that demand his imme-
diate attention, especially West Coal street,
which is almost impossible. Keep up the
good work, Mr.. Supervisor.

Shenandoah has never received such a
building boom as it now enjoys for many
years. New buildings are going up all
over town, while many old ones have been
remodeled or otherwise improved. Car
penters are in great demand just now.
So
was informed by friend of the Joint
Committee yesterday that the industry re-
ferred to in their circular was the establish
ment of brewery in this town. He also
states that Shenandoah will have one in
short while. His statement and that of the
committee do not agree. The committee
say the industry could not be located here
for the want Of water. 1 think the old
company could supply all the water neces-
ssry for such an enterprise, as our supply
OF water is great, if not greater than that
Of Mahanoy City, which has a large
brewery within its limits.

The many admirers of Actor Scanlan in
this section will be pleased to learn that
there are great hopes entertained that he
will again resume his profession. His
reason is gradually returning, and when
spoken to seems quite rational.

The post Office department at Washing
ton will issue on July 1st what is termed
the double postal cards. They will con-
stitute the only means yet provided for the
payment, in the international mail service,
of return postage by the sender of COM
municstion. They will probably be issued
in the form of folder, the two sides of
which are alike. The sender writes on one
side, folds the card, leaving the inside
blank for the answer. This will be a great
aid to International correspondence,
especially in business circles. The cost will
be four cents.
Lehigh Valley brakemen, as a rule, are
not OF dudish nature. Sometimes you
! find one that is a strict desciple of Oscar
Wilde. Yesterday, a young man who
handles the brakes on a Lehigh Valley
passenger train, came to town with the
intention of purifying his system by a
bath. He was directed by friend to the
dam on the hill, but the walk was too
much for his mothers pet" Finally this
friend, who, by the way, is well-known
butcher, took his "nibs" to the slaughter
house, presented a large hog box filled
with the blue liquid, and directed Mr..
Brakeman to proceed to divest himself OF
his clothing, and enjoy himself The
young railroad employe by this time had
changed his mind in reference to taking a
bath-and when the necessity again occurs
he will take a tub.

A COW belonging to a Hungarian Of

Almost before the carcass was cold the

Yesterday afternoon large hog was struck
