4 Pointer That Nav Interest You,

The display windows of Freeland' s
numerous stores are filled with articles
and novelties that breathe suggestions of
spring to every passer-by. The ladies
are interested in those places where a
profusion of ribbons, laces, bonnets, ETC.,
are on exhibition, but the men, the
young men especially, are attracted to
the handsome windows of Jacobs &
Barasch.
What is seen there, however, is only
faint reflection of the fine and com
plete line of spring goods for suitings
and trousers that is inside. 1t is un-
doubtedly the largest stock that any firm
has ever brought to Freeland, and con-
sists of the very latest in the clothing
line.
The pantaloons and suits that this firm
manufacture can be picked out at glance
when seen on the street, as their perfect
fit, stylish make and good workmanship
cannot be disguised. Every article they
manufacture can be relied upon to do
just what is claimed for it when you
buy, and the young men of town are re-
quested to give them a call if they are
thinking of procuring an outfit for spring
or summer. A large line of the latest
style hats, neckwear, furnishing goods,
and everything that should be carried
by first-class clothing store.

Miners Wages Going Down.

The recent reduction in the price of
coal at tidewater, for which the Reading
is receiving much praise, will not affect
its finances any, as Mcleod & Co. will
take it out of the miners this summer
The committee of the Schuylkill Coal
Exchange, which met at Pottsville on
Friday, fixed the rate to be paid at the
Reading collieries in the Schuylkill
region for the last two weeks of March
and the first two weeks of April at 50 .5S
10, which is 3 per cent. above the So so
basis. Last months wages were per
cent. above the basis, and few months
ago it was per cent. above.

A Novel Philanthropic Idea.

The Helping Hand Visitors Club of
New York has been established with the
view of bringing together two classes of
women who may prove of mutual bene-
fit to each other. Those having homes
in the country who would receive into
their households, for a short summer
vacation, respectable, well-recommended
young women from the city, willing to
spend part of their time each day helping
with sewing or other domestic duties, in
turn for home during visit; and res
pectable women, clerks, seamstresses,
ETC., whose means are to limited to allow
of their paying for board while spending
a vacation in the country, yet who would
do things willingly as visitors that they
would object to doing for pay.
Those who would like to make ar
rangements for receiving Helping
Hand Visitor into their homes some
time during the summer, and young wo-
men wishing to avail themselves of such
opportunities as may occur for spending
their vacation under such conditions,
can apply to the Secretary of the Help
ing Hand Visitors Club, 15 East 18th
street, New York city, where a central
bureau has been established for the pur-
pose of putting parties interested in the
matter in communication with each
other.
There is no charge for information;
but as the society is intended to be as
nearly self-supporting as possible, so
that it may be free from any suggestion
of charity, stamp should be enclosed
for reply.

A London newspaper called The Morn
ing has been making an investigation
into the condition of the London dock
laborers and states that "the average
weekly wages of the docker who gets
work is ~ shillings" This is $2.SS. The
persons receiving this pay are, it is to be
remembered, working at the hardest
kind of toll that requires or should re-
quire plenty of strong food to sustain
them in proper condition. But it ap,
pears there is lower depth even for the
dock laborer Less than one-half of the
London "dockers" are regularly en-
ployed. The majority are casuals, and
of these many do not make more than
shilling, or "a cents week. They wait
all day for work, with this miserable re-
suit.
"How do such people exist?" asks the
London newspaper from which we take
these facts, and it answers its own ques-
ton. They pawn all articles not abso-
lutely necessary. They live upon bread
and tea, and for these they often depend
upon intimate friends. The "dockers"
make a secret of their poverty often even
among themselves, and for this reason,
says The Morning, the general impress
sion may be that there is little or no pov-
erty among them.

Daniel Ballig, Hungarian laborer of
Halle Brook, was mangled in terrible
manner and killed on Thursday by fall
ing into the rollers of the breaker at that
place. He was 48 years of age, and had
wife and two children in Hungary.
The funeral took place on Friday morn
ing, and the remains were inferred at
Freeland cemetery.
Deputy Coroner German held an in
qnest and the jury, in rendering its YER
dict, states that "the accident was caus-
ed by one of the planks of the box plat
form covering the rollers getting out of
place and fitting over. The construction
of the platform that covered the rollers
previous to the accident was a death
trap, for the existence of which we CEN
sure j. S. Wentz & Co."

Practical Social Reform.

DR.. Stanton Colt, founder OF Leighton
Hall, London, has begun comprehensive
movement for the betterment of the con-.
dition of the poor in the most wretched
portion of New York city-the Tenth
ward. He has recently organized what
is at present known as the Tenth Ward
Social Reform club. Members of the
club will be recruited from the residents
of the Tenth ward, and its work will be
confined to that territory
The club will be conducted on the lines
followed by Toynbee Hall and Leighton
Hall in London, which have been such
remarkable successes. 1t will be free
from religious-or organized church-inhu-
ence and will not set up as the exponent
of any particular school of economic re-
form. Each member will be left to freely
exercise his own convictions upon these
questions.
What the club will aim to do is to i'm
prove the moral and material conditions
Of the denizens of the Tenth ward by in
culcating manhood, cleanliness and fru-
gality. Innocent and instructive amuse-
ments will be provided in the reading
and entertainment rooms of the club.
Assistance will be given those in need of
it, and cooperative stores will be estab.
lished as the club becomes able to care
for them and support them.
Altogether the movement is worthy
and will have the good wishes of all
social reformers, as well as the substan-
tial support of those who are able to give
to the good work.

3 COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES.
Al Of the Pupils Participate and
Enjoy Themselves.

Commencement exercises Thursday
afternoon were preceded by all the
school children, headed by the band,
marching to the hall. Upon arriving
there the high school orchestra, Miss
Ferris, Millard Root, Jas. Anderson,
'95's, redered a selection, during which
the graduates, each wearing the class
colors of heliotrope and cream, filed
on the stage and took seats. The ex-
ercises began Immediately.
The class history, by Emily Wilson,
was first. Miss Wilson commenced
with the large class of four years, now
reduced to seven. She brought what
was at first, a dark course into land
scape beautiful and attractive, more
auspiring and grander as it grew older.
The course was mingled with work
and pleasure and it was with regret
that the class turned to other duties.
She recited the class organization of
several months since, which was af-
fected, Miss Wilson said, after dint
of lobbying, wire-pulIing and fruit
less expenditure of oratory, followed
by numerous meetings, talk at a
premium, and results at a decided
discount. Holiotrope and cream was
adopted as class colors. Concluding,
she said:
We have pursued and mastered Fl
subjects, besides the common branch
es, and two of our number receive
State certificates in every subject.
The whole number of certificates OBJ
tanned is 100. - = In conclusion,
I would say that we all expect to make
good use of the knowledge we have
gained during these years of toll, and
to become practical every day men
and women.
The class motto, Edith Butterfeld
followed.
The high school orchestra rendered
q selection, after which Alice L. Big
ham read an essay on "Over the Alps
Lies Italy"
She traced the career of the Cartha-
ginian Hannibal. from infancy to the
time when at the head of q mighty
army he crossed the Alps and laid

the dream are barbarous superstitions.

the dream are barbarous superstitions.
In the customs, manners and dress of
civilized America, can be found traces
of barbarism, ,and savage tribes set the
fashion for American ladies'. The
modern belle is fair barbarian. We
should cut the knot which binds us to
barbarism and assert more of our
American independence.
Dog fights prize fights, bull-fghts;
the terrible weapons and men-of-war
are relics, and for the latter haste the
day of arbitration and let us rejoice ia
every battle won without bloodshed.
Concluding her essay, Miss Butter
field turned to the members of the
school board, and on behalf of the
class rendered its sincere gratitude for
their efforts to- assist them. To the
respected teachers she turned heart
felt g, attitude, for cheered on by them
the class ascended the mountains in
triumph. To the Juniors, Sophomores
and Freshmen. she gave cheer, pray
ing that their. hopes and aspirations
would be fulfilled. She urged them
to press on and all obstacles would be
overcome. As knowledge increases
SO is your capacity for enjoying life in
creased, she said. Miss Butterfeld
cautioned them to ever cherish the
dear alma mater, and then bade them
farewell and happiness. Calling up
her beloved classmates, Miss B. ex-
pressed sadness at the companionship
now at an end. "The gates are slow
ly closing never to open again. Let
us not waste time, but let us go forth
with noble resolves for the future; let
this be but the commencement of the
glorious life eternal"
After music by Miss Forbush, Prof.
Torrens made an extended speech
eulogizing the class as workers and
regretting the separation. President
W. B. King, of the school board, con-
graduated the class ON its noble work.
The board was proud OF the class rec
ord, ho said, after which he presented
them with the diplomas. Prof
Torrens then presented Miss Butter
field with free scholarship in either
Carleton or Hamline. Messrs. Martin,
Fowler, Buxton and French sang,
Rev. L. L. Hanscom pronounced the
benediction, and the class was turned
out on the world.

She contended that many things
have been handed down to us un-

the word Easter; the word and custom
of ostricism comes from the ancient

vernacular feeling blue' is explained
when it is known that the Egyptians
used blue for funeral decorations. The
phase "Simon says thumbs down" /"
may have came from the ancient
gladiatorial combats, VIXEN to turn
thumbs down called for cessation of
the combat.
The belief that the world is coming
to an end, the idea of planting things

barbarism. The wishboue, the pin

Entertainment.

On Wednesday evening, December
20, a large and ap~preciative audience
assembled in Temperance Hall to wit
ness the Second Annual entertainment
given by the literary societies of the
Jonesboro Graded School. The enter
tainment consisted of declarations,
music, Rotations, debate and orations.
The following was the program
Declamation-The Immortal School Boy
Daily Miller.
Recitation Dat sWatermillion - Kathleen
Reeves.
Debate-Resolved "That we Should Have an
Educational Qualification for Voters"-Af-
firmed by Edgar Gresham, denied by E,
Shipley.
Recitation-The whistling Regiment-Mat-
tie Hale.
The Rival 0rators-Will Reeves and Pat
Clements.
Oration-The "Ifs" of H~istory-Virgil Jones.

The debaters showed research and
spoke well. The Quaker song, by Will
Reeves and Miss Lucy Deaderick was
well rendered. The music was furn.
ished by Miss Ida Dogget and her pu-
pills, and showed faithful work upon
her part. Two excellent pieces of mu.
sic were given by the Jonesboro Sex
tette. Patrons and friends have been
pleased with the work of the last term.

means having been obtained at the
Musicale, quite a number of the choic-

added to the College Reading Room.
The Reading Room is a great help to
the students. No low class literature
is allowed to be placed in the room.
