The Borough Council of Shenandoah re-
Gently decided to bar the doors of council
chamber against the entrance of any repre-.
sentative of the HERALD of that place, giving
as their reason that the reporters always mis-
represent their affairs and that if exclusion
be enforced misrepresentation would cease.
This action nas not had the desired effect and
when at the last meeting the reporter was
men acted in his stead and gave to the
HERALD full and complete account of the
business transacted. The HERALD will con-
test the case. The right of the press to

OBH's OBSERVATIONS.
What He Sees and Hears During Hi
Travels.

What He Sees and Hears During Hi
Travels.
There is an alarming report from Danvil'e.
1t is said that scarlet fever has spread to such
an extent there that the public schools are
closed and all public meetings are dispensed
with when they are not absolutely necessary.
This report may be little far fetched but
there is undoubtedly some truth connected
with it, One of the physicians Of this town
admitted in conversation with me the other
day that malarial and typhoid fevers and
kindred diseases were getting strong hold
upon our people when the cold wave arrived.
The change in the weather put damper on
the diseases and they have since been less
ravaging.
The same physician told me frankly that
the spreading of the diseases was principally
due to the ordinance passed by the Borough
Council. He said that many people are very
sensitive about having sickness in their
households reported to the authorities and for
that reason they try to shield and treat all
cases until the last hope is gone and they
must choose hiring a physician or risk the
invalids life. II have come across several
cases of this kind" the physician SAID, "and
many of them are found among the Polish
Lithuanian and Hungarian people. They
dread being reported to the borough authori-
ties in anyway, and will go almost to the
brink of death before calling in physician
which they mean, when the case is one Of
Contagious disease, report TO the authori-
ties"
1t will be observed that the preeaution
taken by the borough authorities by the
recently adopted ordinance is not sufficient
after all. While it subjects the physicians to
a penalty and tends to require them to keep
the borough authorities well informed Of the
existence of contagious diseases, it provides
for no means making a penalty for people
who shield such cases and keep the physician
in ignorance of them. Still, the ordinance
will hardly hold water, whatever it may
provide, for it has not been adequately or
properly made known to the public and the
authorities would have some difficulty in en-.
forcing penalty for any violation of it.
Washingtons Birthday will soon be upon
us and it behooves our patriotic citizens to be
stirring themselves if they wish to celebrate
it creditably. The enthusiasm over this day
should not be allowed to diminish. 1t is one
of the most important in the list of holidays
and those who allow it to pass by with mere
notice show a lack Of interest in the history
of the country and the methods by which the
foundation stone for the great republic was
laid. 1t is not day that appeals alone to
the patriotic sentiments of the native Amer
leans. All who have sought shelter under
the protecting wing of the "land of the free
should be moved to a spirit of Observance
morethan any others, Washingtons Birth
day, Decoration Day and the Fourth Of July
are the three natal holidays that all Ameri.
can citizens, whether native born or adopted.
should celebrate Who will make the start

All indications are that tho number of
competitors will be large and that the voting
will be spirited from beginning to end. The
friends of the public school teachers are
almost without number, and the fact that the
smallest pupils in the schools can vote as
often as their elders will introduce factors
that will prove as interesting as they will be
unusual.
This evening and every evening hereafter
until July 81, the HERALD will print a
coupon similar to that which appears in the
paper to-day. Each coupon when filled out
with the name and address of a teacher will
count as vote for that teacher, and the two
teachers receiving the greatest number of
votes will be invited to visit the World S
Fair at the expense of the HERALD. The
trip will not cost the teachers cent.
Every man, woman and child residing in
or out of the state can vote for favorite
teacher, and they can vote as often as they
choose All that is necessary will be to cut
out the coupon which will be printed in the
HERALD every day, write on the blank lines
the name of the teacher favored, his or her
post Office address and send the coupon to the
Contest Editor of the HERALD. Coupons
may be sent by mail, express or messenger,
and they may be sent singly, by tens, fifties,
hundreds, or thousands.
AS the coupons, which will count as votes,
are received, they will be carefully filed. A
record will be kept Of all the votes received
for each person, and as soon as possible after
July 1st, 1893, the whole number Of votes
will be counted by an impartial committee
and the names of the fortunate teachers an
nounced In order that the record shall be alb.
solutely correct persons should write all names
plainly and keep the coupons clean. 1t is
well to remember too, that every body, young
and old, can vote as often as they please
Orders for extra copies of the HERALD may
be left with Hooks and Brown, the town
agents, or sent to the publication office.

and while in the car
behaved in a manner that gave ofIense to
lady passenger.
Conductor William Daley told the men that
if they did not behave themselves he would
be obliged to put them of the car One Of
them declared that he had paid his FIVE cents
and no one had a right to put him off His
conduct did not improve and the conductor
signalled the car to stop.
The most troublesome Pole of the pair re
fused to get of the car and declared he would
not bulge until the five cents he had paid for
fare was returned to him. Motorman Clar-
ence Brennan and the conductor then sp-
piled force. After a desperate struggle they
succeeded in getting the two men off the car,
hut not before Daley's ulster coat had been
ripped up the back and otherwise badly dam
aged, and Brannan received bad kick in
the abdomen.
1t was at first thought that the injury
Brennan received would prove dangerous
one, but prompt treatment brought him
around and he was able to be present at the
hearing before Squire Williams yesterday
afternoon.
| The Pole who caused the trouble and dam
aged Conductor Daley's ulster pleaded guilty
and was required and did pay $24.5O Eight
dollars went to Daley to repair his ulster
five dollars to the railway company to repair
a damaged car window and the balance went
tie liquidate the borough fine and costs.
The other offender demanded hearing
which was fixed for this evening The
accused furnished bail for his appearance.
Two other charges may be brought against
the men, one for violation of the railway act
and one by Brennan for assault and battery.
: 1t is the intention of the railway company 10
push all such cases as far as the law provides
punishment, as the safety and comfort of all
respectable patrons Of the road must be
J preserved, and those who think otherwise
must take the consequences.

The Original Four Hundred.

1t is generally thought that the saying
that the only people in New York worth
knowing can be numbered by 400 was
originated by Ward McAllister, but it
can be found in the Bible. Acts v, So,
which speaks Of Theudas boasting him
self to be somebody, to whom a number
Of men, about 400, joined themselves,
who were scattered and brought to
naught. The verse referred to reads as
follows, "For before these days rose up
Theudas, Boosting himself to be some
body, to whom a number of men, about
400, joined themselves, who were slain,
and all, as many as obeyed him, were
scattered and brought to nought."
Another verse worth mentioning in
this connection is from 1 Samuel xxi, 2,
"And every II that was in distress, and
every one that was in debt, and every
one that was disconnected, gathered
themselves unto him. and he became a
a captain over them, and there were
with him about 400 Neutrality-suspicious..

THE SAINT AND THE SINNER.

Heart worn and weary the woman sat,
Her baby sleeping across her knee,
And the work her fingers were toiling at
Seemed q pitiful task for such as She
Mending shoes for the little feet
That battered over the cabin floor,
While the bells of the Sabbath day rang sweet,
And the ~neighbors passed by the open door.
The children played, and the baby slept.
And the busy needle went and came,
When, 10, on the threshold stone there slept
A priestly figure and named her name:
What shrift is this for the Sabbath day,
When bells are calling, and far and near
The people gather to praise and pray?
Woman. why are you toiling here?"
Like one in a dream she answered low:
Father, my days are workdays all:
l know no Sabbath. / dare not go
Where the beautiful bells ring out and call.
For who would look to the meat and drink
And tend the children and keep the place?
l pray in silence and try to think,
For Gods love can listen and give me grace
The year. passed on, and with fast and prayer
The good priest climbed to the gate of rest,
And a tired woman stood waiting there,
Her work worn hands to her bosom pressed;
"Oh, saint, thrice blessed, mount thou on high!'
He heard the welcoming angels say,
And meekly, gently, she passed him by,
Who had mended shoes on the Sabbath day.

why New York Women Feel Weary.

When an old lady like the English
queen takes up the study of Hindoostanee
and masters it sufficiently to converse
with the reserved high caste p~rincesses
of the east, who object to the presence
of the male interpreter during audience
with their sovereign, and a he%artbroken,
middle aged woman like the empress of
Austria acquires ancient and modern
Greek to the extent of talking and writ
ing it fuently, it makes a New York
woman a little weary to think she can't
keep up her school French or find time
to read the magazines.-New York Sun.

Buying a Rare Book.

A good story was told ON Sam Nc
Conaha at a certain book store the other
day. During the holiday rush he went
out to buy a book for his little girl. He
went from one book store to another and
said, 81 want a nice holiday edition of
The Prodigal Son." No one seemed to
have the book. When Sam went home,
he did not say anything to his wife, as
the book was intended as a surprise
Christmas present. The next day he de-
termined to go in further quest of the
book. But it was not to be found. The
fun of it is Sam wanted 1.-THE Pilgrims
Progress" and somehow he got names
mixed. He said the thing flashed across
his mind in a dream two nights before
Christmas, and he then got the book that
he wanted.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Authorization of Geological.

The tendency among English people to
clip long words into short ones, or even
into monosyllables, is notorious. Thus
''cabriolet" has become cab, Omnibus"
bus and so on. But the change of 900
logical" into zoois to any one who knows
the origin of the word, the most exas-
perating of all, and yet we now meet
with 1900 in well written journals, and
I see the word is being advertised as the
title of a book.
There is another variation, whichcomes
simply from bad pronunciation, as when
a cockney holiday maker tells you he
has been to the '~'slogical." If ''zoolog-
icar' is to undergo a shortening, like that
which has befallen ''omnibus" and "cab-
riolet," let it at least become 20. This
would be correct as far as it went and
would not be so excruciating as the de-
testable zoo.-Cor. Notes and Queries.

New York Society In wartime.

Out of the great excitement Of the war
grew a fantastic gayety, a wild sort OF
Carmagnole frenzy. Society did strange
things. Women would dance the german
at a fashionable New York party with
their hair hanginginl long streamersd down
their backs while the young men would
seize those beautiful tresses fer reins
and drive the fair women with imitation
whips. Everybody was half mad. And
after the war was over these women, to
whom philanthropy had become a bust
ness, found 1T hard to return to the COM
mon everyday work Of life. So Mrs. s.
M. K. Barlow, one Of the best and no.
blest Of human beings, suggested that
we should help the south. We went to
work again at the dramatic committee
and invoked Mr.. Wallack. Mr.. Jerome
lent us the theater, and we really did
some very good works, producing plays
which were not stumbled through, but
had some resemblance to the real thing.
The money we made we sent to the cler-
gymen of the south, who wrote of indi-
vidual cases of distress. 1t was our
pleasure to save the lives of sick chill
dren who needed more delicate food than
their poor mothers could otherwise have
procured. Weused to receive most touch
ing letters. Thus was the first effort at
reconstruction attempted and carried
through successfully. We tried to fol-
low Grant at Appomattox and to be
worthy of the last words of Lincoln

Efficacy of "ChIorobrom.o

A combination to which the name of
chlorobrom has been given-a solution
containing 30 grains of chloralamide and
a similar amount of potassium bromide,
in an ounce Of menstruum-has come
into considerable favor, according to
some Of the foreign journals, as an eff
cacious preventive of seasickness on
short voyages. The passenger is recon-
mended to take a podophyllin pill for
one or two nights before the date of sail
ing, and when on board to remain for a
time, before rough water is reached, in a
horizontal position with eyes shut, and
to take no food on short trips.
