An Eccentric Duchess.

Auction sales develop queer things.
The sale in London somelyears ago Of
the effects of the duchessiof Somerset,
then recently deceased, Showed that
distinguished lady to have been per-
son of much eccentricity in the matter OF
her wardrobe. Among sixteen hundred
lots offered for sale were, II reports
published at the time were accurate, five
hundred lace and other handkerchiefs
two thousand pairs of gloves, five hum
dred Indian and other shawls, six hun.
dred pairs of silk stockings, and dresses
of all sorts and descriptions of forty
years fashions. 1t was rather
pitiful spectacle, too, says
the newspaper Boswell, who writes
of this extraordinary sale, ''for
the owner of these things had
for thirty years before her death led
the life of recluse, shuttihg herself
up in her house, and yet ordering regu-
larly from her milliner at each change
of season the dresses she would have
worn if she had been mixing in society.
Every three months she would be
dressed in court costume, as if going to
reception and would walk in it up
and down her own rooms, much MS tho
widow OF Maximilian of Mexico would
celebrate the anniversaries of her MUIR
dered husbands drawing-room days by
arraying herself in her best, and pre-
pairing for the courtiers who would
never more come to pay him reverence"

WHERE IS ADAM DANNBR T

An Old Mans Long Search for His
Son.
This morning a poorly dressed man with
AID Office and asked that the paper give
publicity to a request for information con-
cerning his son. The visitors story was this:
"My name is Adam Danner. l am 81 years
of age. live at Indiana, Indiana county
this state. On the 10th of May, 1891, my
son, whose name is also Adam, left my home
in Indiana saying he would seek employ
ment in the coal region. 1 waited year and
hearing nothing of him commenced to make
inquiries, but up to now l have not secured
the slightest trace. have spent what little
money had in postal cards and letters and
have been tramping about the country until
my health was broken and fear my mind is
giving way. l have tramped through all the
coal fields of Virginia, Maryland and Penn
sylvania, but at no place have learned any
thing of my son. If knew his fate l would
be satisfied. Adam is 26 years of age, feet
s inches in height, has blue eyes, and when
he left home wore dark whiskers. He stam-
mers occasionally and is little weak
minded"
Mr.. Danner said he would soon give up
the search and return to Indiana He asked
that any one having information notify
Frank Donahoe, of Indiana A request was
also made that the HERALD exchanges give
publicity to the case.

did in that case, and if he were paid in
private practice in proportion to the services
he rendered in that and many other critical
cases he could retire wealthy in a year"
Just as the reporter was about to leave the
hospital he met in one of the corridors man
who gave the name of Edward Devln and
said he resided at Cumbola. He was injured
at Eagle Hill colliery and sustained severe
rupture. After receiving unsuccessful treat
ment from private physicians and when in a
condition that threatened to end his days he
went to the Miners Hospital. He went there
on the 2Sth of last March and when seen by
the reporter looked quite healthy and strong
and walked about the carridor with steady
and almost elastic step
"How do you like this hospital do they
treat you well ?' asked the reporter,
Indeed they do, sir" Here tears filled
his eyes and as they streamed down his
checks he added, "No one but myself know
what l have suffered, and none but mysel

authorizing boroughs to establish such bodies
and there is not the slightest doubt that the
Governor will sign the bill.
There is no reason why the Borough
Council should not act nol0. 1t had timely
notice that the measure was pending and as
the summer season is rapidly drawing nigh
no time should be lost to prepare for COM
pliance with its provisions.
Several weeks ago Councilman Finney
called attention>to the bill in the Borough
Council and stated that he had no doubt that
it would pass. At the same time he asked
that the chairman of Council make ready to
comply with the law and furnished copy of
the bill for publication in the daily papers.
At the next meeting of Council it was an
nounced by the chairman that no steps had
been taken on Mr. Finney's suggestion be-
cause the passage of the bill had not been an
nounced and since that time the matter has
remained on the table.
Now the proper time to act has arrived and
it is hoped the matter will be thoroughly
ventilated and discussed at the next Council
meeting, which will be held tomorrow night.
so that the chairman will be able to announce
his appointments at the regular meeting to
be held on the 10Th inst. should the bill be
signed in the meantime, and by the 1st of
June the local Board of Health will be well
under way
Let Council act promptly in this matter.
Another bill that passed the Senate yester.
day and which excited much local interest
was that extending the terms of Chief Bur-
CESS to three years. This matter has been
theme of discussion in Shenandoah for years.
necessity for such an extension was felt
here because the people saw that electing
Burgess for one year was farce, because it
takes the official about six months to learn
what his duties are and the balance of the
year is consumed by his fence building for a
re election. Under a one-year term the Bur-
CESS is useless, but under the new law he
will be obliged to attend to his duties or step
down.
Another popular measure that passed the
Senate yesterday was bill to require school
directors to furnish school books and school
supplies free of cost. Many residents of this
town urged the passage of this bill by petit
tion5 and personal overtures to the Repre-
sentatives and Senators.
The measure is known as the Farr Free
School Text bill. It received a surprisingly
large vote, only two Senators voting against
it. They were Ross of Bucks, and Mitchell,
Of Bradford. The bill provides that the
books now in the hands of the pupils shall
not be discarded for new books. This will
prevent extravaganza. The measure will be
followed with an appropriation of 100000
which will be in addition to the S5OOOOOO
appropriation to the public schools for the
next two years.

The Street Superintendent is unearthing

Early in February the Sewerage Commits
sioners found this sewer so full of silt that
their men could not pass throughit it. The
matter was at once reported to Street Super
intendent A~kerson, who put on full force
of men to clean it out.
The sewer is oval, feet high and 8 feet
wide at its broadcast part The work Of
cleaning it was very slow. because tie sewer
was so full of dirt that the men could hardly
find room to work.
When they reached Folsom street the
work stopped entirely for awhile.
There il was found that the sewer was
built without regard to the specifications.
The width was all right and there W ere two
courses of bricks, but the sewer was only
four feet high
In a fiye-ioot sewer a man can work with
a whePlbarrow, but to work in a four-foot
sewer con tanning three feet of sediment was
an impossibilty, so it was decided TO open
the sewer. Pckaxes were then brought into
requisition, and the whole top taken off.
After cleaning tie sewer the arch was to be
rebuilt. making the sewer fit the specifica-
tions.
The men began digging Monday morn

reason that there were none there. The
