CONDUCTED BIT MEMBKRs OF THE W. G. T. A
SOCIETY OF LAPoRTE, PA.
The Coming Woman.


Helen NJ. Webster, Ph. D. in q
current Topic Conference, at Lynn,
said:
Surely, woman cannot be re-
garded as occupying an ideal posi-
tion in society.
l. Until she shall become a citi-
zen OF the country in which she
lives, an equal sharer with the men,
both of the responsibilities and
benefits of the nation, the State, the
city which she calls her own.
2. Until her education shall be
such as to develop to the best adj
vantage, her physical strength and
her intellectual powers.
8. Until the perfect home shall
have come-the one in which bus
band and wife shall join in striving
to make real the noblest ideals OF
life.
4. Until, finally, society. having
given to woman the opportunity OF
receiving the best and most substan.
tial education, shall make it beth
possible and proper" for her to
engage in any work which she finds
herself capable of doing.
Shall we sketch in outline the
coming woman, who is to have the
happiness of living in that day of
larger opportunities and larger
responsibilities ?
l. She is to be physically strong.
2. She will not bow down to con-
ventional follies but reasonableness
and common sense will be the
motive power OF all her actions.
3. She will be hygienically dressed
4. She is to have a well-trained
mind, which shall be able to per-
form the operation of logical think
ing.
Shall we sketch in the outline the
attitude which the society of that
future day will take towards such a
woman !?
l. 1t will, first of all, act Justly
toward her-it will not now indulge,
and now defraud her.
2. 1t will give her personal in
dependence in the home and else
where.
3. 1t will make her free citizen
in this land of freedom, and sharer
of all duties in legislative and
governing bodies.
4. 1t will make men and women
more truly companions than ever
before, companions in the fullest
and best sense of the word, in all the
relations of life.
There will be in that day no con.
ventional limits set to a woman's Is
sphere; each individual woman,
being free citizen, an Independent
owner of herself, living in a society
which not only enables her TO
develop her powers, but gives her
the opportunity to use them, will
choose for herself from the whole
unlimited sphere of human activity
what her life work shall be,

holes bored but becoming frightened,
it is supposed by passing train,
they stopped work and got away. A
registered letter Of $40 lay on the
top of the safe which they passed
by. After they had gone Stahl,
who was about eight feet from
the ticker, managed to move himself
and chair there and by loosening one
arm sufficiently to work with his
back to the machine wired his con-
dition to Catawissa where the oper-
ator communicated through the
Milton tower with Engineer Gaus of
the annex who promptly went and
released Stahl. The burglars also
entered several other establishments
but failed to secure any money.
They secceeded in eluding the police
and escaped from the town.

SrrELroN, A.,sMarch 1s, 1898.
The -four mill is turning out from
four to six hundred barrels Of foul
daily.
The Steelton National Bank now
occupy their new quarters in the
Kelker block on Front street.
The Pennsylvania Steel Company
are turning out their usual amount
of steel and everything is running
smoothly.
The shirt factories are 80 much
crowded with orders that it became
necessary for them to call in their
drummers.
Our town is now lighted by the
Steelton. Electric Light Company
which give much better satisfaction
than the light furnished by the
Harrisburg company last year.
The East Harrisburg Electric Rail-
way Company arc preparing to lay
a double track and the Citizens Com
pany- expect to have their road COM
pIeted by.t6e middle Of the summer.
Some of our people on the west
side were considerably alarmed on
Saturday..night on account of high
water but before Sunday morning
their fears ceased, as the water
began to recede and all we're happy.
Burglars entered the postoffice on
Thursday night and endeavored to
blow open the safe but their attempt
proved unsuccessful, three or four
dollars that was in the money drawer
was taken and nothing else dis
turbed.
Now to close this letter will just
say that Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet
ware does not match as it is COM
posed of so many different kinds of
material such as old time Republi-
cans old time rebel brigadiers old
time copperheads and other secces-
sion Democrats one ton In all.

mer travel.

A New County Fight.

The new county war is on in dead
earnest in Luzerne. A delegation
of citizens of Wilkes Barre and other
parts of the county have been at
Harrisburg TO oppose Senator
Kline's, bill for the erection of a
new county to be composed of parts
Of Luzerne proposed to be included
in the new county, but the principal
opposition comes from Wilkes Barre,
as was the case when Lackawanna
was detached. Luzerne and Schuyl-
kill are two of the most populous
counties i'll the State and their status
would scarcely be affected by the
erection of the proposed new county.
In passing upon Senator Kline's bill,
or any other of similar character,
the legislature should give special
consideration to the convenience and
interests of the people of the terri
tory in the proposed new county.
County and township divisions ere
made solely for the convenience of
the people and the wishes of those
Immediately interested ought to be
paramount, when they are reason
able.
Yhe ambition of the important
t(and rapidly developing city of
Hazleton to become county seat is
natural and commendable. 1t is
such an ambition as animated the
city of Scranton more than a decade
ago, and which was realized after
stubborn and prolonged contest.
Hazleton's future development and
prosperity may not depend on it's
becoming the seat of new county,
but such consummation would un-
doubtedly greatly accelerate it's
growth and increase its business
prosperity. The bulk Of the popu-
lation of the proposed new county is
within a radius of a dozen miles OF
Hazleton and the convenience of
40, 200 or $4,000 people would un-
questionably be attained by the
erection of new county. But the
battle has not yet been won, and we
doubt much if it will be at this sess.

Now that the season for using
canned fruit is again upon
us, housekeepers will do we'll to
repeat the caution which forgetful
servants used rerIodically-to empty
the provisions out of the can as soon
as it is opened. Often a most
dangerous acid is formed by a
chemical action of the air upon the
soldering of the cans. 1t is this acid
indeed, which is responsible for
much of the prejudices against
canned goods.

An exchange says that another
swindler is working the country dis
tricts. The scamp says he is repre-
sentative of cooperative store which
sells groceries, dry goods, teas, etc.,
to farmers at wholesale prices. To
get the benefit of the store the farmer
is required to pay fee of sixty cents
year, or one dollar for two years.
1t is sleek game and as the fellow
who is working it is a sleek talker.
many farmers are parting with their
81 bills to get advantage of the CO.
operative store.
