Air Navigation.

A bill was introduced in the early
part of the last session of congress,
authorizing the secretary of the treas
ury to pay the sum of one hundred
thousand dollars to any inventor from
any part of the world who shall prior
to 1900 construct vessel that will dem
onstrate the practicability of safely
navigating the air at speed of thirty
miles an hour, and capable of carrying
freight and passengers. The committee
on interstate commerce reported the
bill without recommendation, the OBJ
tect OF the report apparently being to
print the information available on the
subject of experiments at aerial navi-
cation since the days of Montgolfier.
ITO those who have not given this SUBJ
ject much attention." says the report,
lit may seem somewhat vision
ary to seriously entertain the idea of
navigating the air safely, since efforts
In this direction have been in most in
stances failures" Yet the committee
maintain "that the eventual solution of
the problem will result in one of the
greatest social, economic and industrial
revolutions in the history of mankind
and have the greatest possible influence
in the civilization of the world.
Whether" they continue, Commercial
results will be achieved as early as 1900
Is question your committee do not
undertake to answer 1t is believed
however, that the passage of the bill
will act as stimulant to work already
in progress looking to the solution of
this great problem of aerial navigation,
and in that respect it cannot but do
great work. That the problem will
eventually be solved we see no ground
upon which to rest q reasonable
1oubt."

Plain Girls Wanted.

The secretary Of large eastern in
surance company decided short time
since that 1t would be better for his Of
flee work to introduce half dozen or
more women rs typewriters, operators
and assistant bookkeopers. He had
noted that of the feminine employees in
his office the pretty ones were the least
effective and attracted the most atten-
tion, to the detriment Of the work of
the other clerks So he decided to en-
gage only women who were of mature
years and experienced in office work.
First he advertised, stating that appli-
cants should give age and number of
years experience. He did not succeed
in getting single satisfactory reply.
Then he went to a well-known busi-
ness college and told the manager that
he did not suppose he would have any
trouble in aiding him, as he did not
want young or attractive-looking
woman. The manager listened to him
while he explained his wants, and then
going to a desk took out file of letters
with smile and laid them before his
visitor. There were upward of half
hundred applications from banks and
commercial institutions, and every one
of them, without a single exception,
asked for a woman of mature age.
The manager said that it was absolute
ly impossible to supply the demand for
employees of the description that busi-
ness men now demanded, but he had
RATS Of pretty girls at all times who
were applicants.

Waite Voted a Mixed Ticket.

Denver, Col, April 22.-The statement
that Ex-Governor Waite aided in the
election of the republican ticket in Den
yer this spring is unwarranted. The
governor said yesterday that he took no
active part in the campaign. He voted
for the prohibition candidates for mayor
and clerk, for one candidate on the
American ticket, said to be populiSt,
and for the remainder of the taxpayers

FALL RIVERS BRIGHT OUTLOOK
Mills Resume This Morning Under
Old Wage Scale.

Fall River, Mass, April 22.-The
mills resumed operations this morning
under the scale of wages in operation
previous to August 20, 1894 Twenty
four thousand workers will be benefited.
There is every prospect Of a fair trade
during the coming summer, as the mills
are now fairly well sold ahead. Since
the last reduction of wages there has
been the greatest scarcity of help ever
noticed in this centre. Overseers of mills
say this has been due to sickness, low
wages and feeling among the floating
help that strike would take place here
during the warm weather, if wages were
not advanced.

FREELAND, PA, APRIL 25, 1895,
Stop the Forest Fire.

1t Is unfortunate, but, nevertheless,
true, that great public calamtes appeal
to states most powerfully through the
channel of commercial loss. The recent
fires of the northwest, sickening as they
were to every sentiment of humanity do
not of themselves appeal sufficiently to
awaken Il determination to have an end
made of such catastrophes, which, dis
guise as we will, are simply disgrace
to our civilization, or rather to the lack
of civilization!
When we remember that in all this
state, fire swept as it was during the last
summer, there is probably not a single
incendiary undergoing punishment for
starting forest fires, and that all our
legal enactments are in public contempt
because they are never enforced, the
wonder is not that we have so many, but
that we have so few woodland fires!
We still need more facts. Facts which
appeal to the financial sentiment, more
than to the humanities.
| shall be greatly indebted to any
citizen of the state for information upon
any one, or all, of the following points:
/. In what county do you reside?
.. How much of its area was burned
over during the past year?
g. Enumerate losses by forest fires, so
for as you can, in your county.
4. At what sum of money would you
estimate the loss?
$. During what months were they the
most severe?
6. How were they finally extinguished?
7. What was the supposed origin?
s. Were any of those who created
forest fires in your county convicted and
punished?
win papers over the state kindly
render the gratuitous public service of
copying these questions?

Marseilles, April 22.-Jonn L. Waller,

who arrived here from Madagascar Sat
urday afternoon under guard aboard the

Fort Saint Nicol, where he will be con-

Action Taken ut Washington.
Washington, April 22.-While the ac-
tion of the French government, in having
ex-Consul Waller brought to France un-
der guard, will only add to the amount
of indemnity it will be called upon to
pay should Mr.. Waller's friends show
that the charge upon which he was SEN
fenced is baseless, it will facilitate efforts
of the department of state to develop
fully the facts in the case.
Instructions to Eustis.
Ambassador Eustis has been instructed
to pursue the matter to an end. He will
also make a special examination into the
legality under treaty stipulations of the
trial of a citizen of a friendly nation by
court-martial, instead of the regular civil
tribunal. Moreover, the case may involve
the right of France to exercise jurisdic
tion over the internal affairs of NADIA
gascar, from which she appears to have
been expressly excluded by the treaty of
1885, which gave her only jurisdiction
over the foreign relations of Madagas-
car.
Senator Voorhees, Interested.
Washington friends of Mr.. Waller are
bringing all the influence possible to
bear in his behalf upon the state de-
partment. Senator Voorhees, has had
one or two interviews with Secretary
Gresham, and has presented to him in
strong light the Importance, as well
as the propriety, of the United States
investigating the question of Waller's
treatment. After seeing the secretary,
Senator Voorhees, said he had found Mr..
Gresham quite as much interested in the
case he was.
Walters Large Concession.
There can be no doubt that the Wal
Ter incident will prove to be one Of the
most difficult that this administration
has had to contend with in it's treatment
of foreign affairs. 1t is an interesting
question as to what has become of Mr..
Waller's concession. He had an abso-
lutte grant of about 200 miles of most val
liable lands in Madagascar, abounding
in rubber trees and other tropical pro-
ducts, which he had partly arranged to
market 1t is we'll known here that
every effort had been made to dispossess
him by other holders of concessions, who
desired to seize upon these lands. But
so far as the facts are known Mr.. Waller
obtained this concession in a perfectly
legitimate manner.

Under the caption of Prompt Action
Needed" the Standard calls upon the
citizens of Hazleton and Freeland to act
quickly and prevent the pollution of the
Nescopeck creek. The call is timely
and ought not pass unheeded, This is
the only pure water supply in this por-
tion of the state, and while it remains as
it is the stream will act as check upon
the rapacty of water companies in
lower Luzernc. Once allow the Nesco-
peak g become sulphur creek and
every man, woman and child in this
section will be at the mercy of corporate
greed and eXtortion. Hazlcton has felt
the effects of the latter, and is striving
to find way to rid itself of the blood
sucking corporation that has the city in
its grasp. With the stream deiiled the
city could not find enough water if it
should build its own plant, and whatever
concerns Hazleton in this respect applies
with equal force to this town. 1t is not
beyond the possibilities that Freeland
will some day want to erect it own water
works, and jealous eye should be kept
on the only supply available.
