Madame, and her son Augustine, Neuville
will appear at Ferguson's theare on Thursday
evening, November 9th, in a production of
"The Power of Woman" These popular
stars are this season surrounded by a company
of competent performers. They carry all the
scenery, properties and mechanical effects
used in this production and among the
special scenic features is a locomotive run by
steam for three minutes in view of the
audience at the rate of twenty five miles an
hour This is introduced simply as an
incident as "The Power of Woman" is not a
railroad play. This play was recently read
by a number of New York's prominent news
paper men and dramatic critics who were
unanimous in pronouncing it one of the
prettiest stories and best written dramas Of
the day.

The Board OF Health will soon be in
position to assert its authority. Last night a
committee Of the Borough Council met and
made arrangements to have the rules and
regulations published as required by law, and
it is expected the publication will be made on
Monday. Ten days after the publication is
made the board viii be in a position to en-
force the laws, DR.. Spalding, the president
of the board, is very anxious to have the
time come when the body can act
legally. He says that the delay
in taking the necessary steps to
clothe the board with legal authority has
resulted in having the hedlth laws defed in
many respects. Notwithstanding ample
notice has been given and blanks furnished
for the purpose but comparatively small
percentage of contagious diseases have been
officially reported and the law in regard to
certificates of death and burial permits have
been almost entirely ignored.

great many voters never take the trouble
to ascertain whether or not they are regis
tered. Any voter who has been a resident Of
district for the required time, and can get
two men to swear to the fact, is entitled to "a
vote, whether or not he is registered There
is one qualification, however required of a
voter that cannot be evaded. This is the
payment of a state and county tax within
two years The last day to pay this tax to
secure a vote at the coming election was
Octnber 1th.

in the Catawissa Valley. Instead Of putting
it in bank she secreted the money in an old
tin coffee pot which rested on shelf at the
side of a stairway leading to cellar The
money had been there for years.
On Tuesday morning Mr.. Walter went
over to New London to make arrangements
for the purchase of the farm he had in view.
Mrs Walter says at about o'clock in the
evening Of that day a well.dressed young
man, having much the appearance of a Getty
chap" called at her house and said that her
husband had met with an accident and
would not return home until the next day,
but he had brought the negotiations
for the purchase of the farm to
a point at which immediate payment
Of part Of the money was necessary in order
to secure advantage Of an exceptionally good
bargain The young mans knowledge of the
farm negotiations served as a letter of credit
and Mrs. Walter accepted the statement as a
bona fde one. She went to the old coffee pot
and took from it S2OO As the money was
being handed to him the young man seized il
and AZ the same time grappled with and over
powered the woman. Having bound and
gagged Mrs. Walter the scouudrol went t
the stairway and took the balance of thu
money which amounted to four hundred
dollars.
After the plunder the stranger left thu
house. Mr. Walter arrived home at abou
Il o'clock that night and found his wifi
bound aod gagged. He is almost frantic owe
the affair and says that the stolen money was
the result of several years savings, as he ha
been earning but laborer's wages.
A reporter found Mr.. Walter at his hom,
to day. The unfortunate man seemed to be
distracted. When asked how it was possible
for a stranger to have knowledge of tn,
farm transaction, he said that on his way t,
New London he stopped at hotel in Ring
town and there made the acquaintance of
young man who claimed to represent New
! York book publishing house, The strange
| explained chat he was in Rugtown gathering
farming statistics. Mr. Walter says that HI
/ was with the young man for about two hours
during which time he spoke of the farm
negotiations The stranger said his name was
Wilmot and pressed Mr. Walter for his adj
dress in Shenandoah so that he could make
call when visiting the town. The addres
was given and with a knowledge of the farm
business the road was clear for the scoun
drol

IMPORTANT SCHOOL POINT.


Admitted.
A. the beginning of the present school term
tho Mahanoy City School Board considered
the question of the admittauce Of pupils from
outside districts Heretofore it has been
customary to admit pupils from out Of the
borough at certain fixed rates, but this year,
owing to the crowded condition of the schools,
it was decided not to admit pupils from out
side at all. This cut of some pupils who had
been regularly attending the schools for
several years past. Among the applicants for
the admission of his daughter to the High
school was a resident of Gilberton, who it
NOW appears according to law enacted at
the last session of the Legislature, is entitled
to have his children instructed in thus district
if he prefers, he having been a soldier in the
civil war
The law in question is found in the Pamph-
let Laws of the last session, page %, and reads
as follows:
THAT any child or children Of any person
who was a soldier in the service of the United
States in the late war Of the rebellion being,
orwho shall be, temporarily or otherwise
within any school district of the Common
wealth SHALL upon application, be entitled to
admission and instruction the same as resi-
dent children, in the proper common school of
such district, and Notwithstanding such child
or children may have or may come into such
district for the purpose of attendance at such
school, and the residence of the parents,
guardian or other person or persons entitled
by law to the custody of such child or child
ren bell another district"

The following essay ON cigarette and
ci gar smoking was handed to me yesterday:
The other day, happening to be in a town
not hundred miles from Shenandoah 1
thought l would get shaved There is moth
ing remarkable about that as l. like great
many other men, have often been shaved
before. On getting into the chair / paid
special attention to thesalIow-looking, onion
faced individual who proceeded to perform
the tonsorial act At first ! thought the
young mans complexion was due to some un-
pleasanness he might have had with his
| girl, but to my disgust / very soon learned
differently. 1t was caused by cigarette
smoking. OF all the torture5 a man can en-
dure the worst is to allow ones self to be
shaved by barber who smokes that vile
extract of the gutter snipe-a cigarette
Anyone addicted to the habit of smoking
cigarettes must certainly be a burden to him
self and an ofense to anyone who possesses a
sensitive nasal appendage. We have seen
many men suffering from an injury or sick
ness and have pitied them; but the man or
| hoy who needs pity is he who cannot control
| his appetite for cigarette smoking. He will
in time reap the whirlwind and the more he
smokes the sooner will the tide turn against
| him. The fact has been demonstrated
time and again by the medical
profession that cigarettes have a
tendency to heart disease, consumption and
other insidious attacks upon the system. But
we need not consult physician to learn this.
Anyone who keeps his eyes open when
walking along the streets can find enough
subjects to fully remove any doubt as to the
effects of cigarettes. Twothirds Of the
applicants for admission to West Point and
Annapolis are rejected because they are
addicted to the cigarette habit and have
suffered from the results. At the rate at
which our young people are going into dissi-
patton, smoking profanity, and kindred evils
we may well be alarmed at the outlook for
the future of our country. Give as long as
you may says writer, the first twenty
years form the greater part OF your life.
They appear so while they are passing; they
seem to have been so when we look back to
them and they take mp more room in our
memory than an ye Ts which succeed them"
II this be SO, how important is it that we
should pass these years i'm planting good
principles, and avoid all those things which
lay up bitterness and sorrow for time to
come. Begin by the adjustment Of the
cigarette habit ODE.

A prominent citizen Of this town, who is
of Welsh descent, claims that the Welsh in
the United States number rs many as their
countrymen in Wales He likewise claims
a lineal right to residence here since one of
his ancestors forestalled Columbus in the
discovery of America by 272 years. These
assertions, he claims, arc based on historical
traditions and the manuscripts of all Welsh
bards on the one hand, aud on the prevalence
of Welsh in many of the languages of the In
dians, both of North and South America, on
the other.

Savlosky were standing in car engaged in
putting piece of timber called collar in
place. 1t was necessary to dig some coal out
of the side to make room for the end of the
piece of timber, and as Davis was in the act
of doing this large piece of coal slipped out.
In its descent the piece of coal grazed
Higgins head, slid over the shoulders of
savlosky and fell against Davis leg. AL
though the latter was the most seriously in
iured savlosky yelled so much that he at
tracted the men from all the neighboring
parts of the mine and for the time great ex-
citement prevailed.
Inside Foreman Fred Carl hastened to the
scene and had both men removed. 1t was
thought at the time that both were very
badly injured, but subsequent examination
showed that both had escaped fractures and
after few days treatment they will be all
right again.
