Rally Day For Kansas Sunday Schools.

By vote of the last state convention
the first Sunday in October is made an
nual Offering Day, at which time each
school is asked to make its annual offer
ing of five cents per member for county
and state work. 1t will also be Rally
and Enrolment Day. Vacation time
and the heat of the summer has been
with US. Some schools have lost large
ly in attendance and also in interest.
Special and earnest effort will be need
ed to gather the forces together and
renew the life of the school. The stay
aways will need to be gone after, and
invited back; and house to house visi-
tation, with an invitation to every one
would prove of great value.

The following is the manner in
which Henry Ward Beecher in School
News expressed himself on ''teacher' s
wages" "There is no economy so
penurious, no policy SO intolerably
mean, as that by which the custodians
of public affairs screw down to the
starvation point the small wages of
men and women who are willing to de-
vote their time and strength to teach
ing the young. If there is one place
where we ought to induce people to
make their profession a life business,
it is the teaching of schools. Oh,
these to be taught are nothing but
children! Your children, my children,
Gods children, the sweetest, and dear
est, and most sacred ones in life. at
the very age when angels would be
honored to serve them, that is the time
when we put them into the hands of
persons who are not prepared by dis
position TO be teachers, and who are
not educated to be teachers, and who
are continuously bribed. as it were, by
the miserable wages that are given
them to leave their teaching as soon as
they acquire little experience. It is
q shame, disgrace to the American
Christianity"

We give the following suggestions
from an exchange, to the gallent young
men and suggest that they follow them
if they wish to be popular with the fair
lady cyclists: Very gallant escorts use
a tow rope when accompanying a lady
on wheeling spin. These are man
aged in various ways, one consists of
an India rubber door spring just strong
enough to stretch little with the
strain and about SIX feet of shade cord
one end is clipped to the lady's wheel
at the lamp bracket of brake rod by a
spring swivel and the other end is
hooked to the escorts handle bar in
such a way that he can set it free in a
moment if necessary. When he has
finished towing he drops back to the
lady's side hanging the loose end of the
cord over her shoulder, to be ready for
the next hill. A gentle pull that is a
bagatelle to strong rider is of great
assistance to a weak one up hill or
against strong wind.

Correspondence.

Chief of Police Tosh's raid on one of
the First ward notorious resorts has
served as an upheaval and now demands
are coming in from all quarters of the
town for continuance of the good work.
Today the HERALD received three com.
munications designating places that
should be pulled and giving the names of
occupants, but as the letters were
anonymous they were consigned to tn e
waste basket.
While the raid must be accepted as an
excellent move by the Chief of Police
and it is natural to expect that he will
continue the good work wherever there is
An opening, the people must not ju mp to
hasty conclusions as to the extent of his
jurisdiction. 1t is quite true that mum
Der of disorderly houses are in existence,
but it is only under certain circumstances
/ that the police can act. 1t may be relied
upon, however, that yesterd ay mornings
raid will have the effect of making the
proprietors of the resorts respect the
rights of the law abiding people in the
future more than they have in the past and
not allow the frequenters of the places to
disturb the public place.
The Chief of Police has made an excel
lent resolution in his determination to
raid all questionable places on the first
provocation and would do we'll by follow
| ing 1t up with the arrest of any que estion-
able characters who make a display OF
themselves to the annoyance and detri-
ment of respectable people while parading
the streets.
One of the communications received by
the HERALD states that if the police keep
their eyes open they can pull some houses
not generally reputed as disorderly places
and the drag net will contain some of our
very prominent and influential people.
With such general statements the police
have nothing to do. The people who
yearn for such raids have plain duty to
perform !: if they know of disorderly
and their proofs to the Chief of
Police. More than this, they need
not expect that the HERALD will
relieve them of this duty. The paper
will not publish any communication that
is not presented in good faith, and the
mere signing of some prominent citizens
name to letter will not be accepted with
out investigation, as at times it has been
found that some unprincipled people who
were afraid to father certain communica-
tions have used the names of other people
as signatures without authority.

for this reason, in addition to the pa

the societies and other organizations

of their encouragement and financial

A Brute.

We have been reliably informed that
there resides at the west end of town a
sem blance of man who is fit su biect
for incarceration in the county Jail. This
brute makes a practice of beating his
wife almost nightly, and her appeals for
mercy are frequently heard by the neigh
bors. One day last week he seized a
broom stick and beat her so badly that
the neighbors proposed to summon the
police but the poor woman was afraid OF
her life to prefer charges against him.
His dislike for his wife is said to be due
to the infatuatlon of another woman,
who he takes out riding frequently, while
his wife is at home hard at work earning
u few pennies to keep the miserable
wretch. The neighbors are up in arms,
and unless the brutal assaults are dis.
continued this man will, perhaps ere long
occupy cell where he can repent at
leisure.

If the borough authorities are not very
careful they will have on their hands a
very dangerous trap at the Lehigh Valley
railroad on East Centre street. Attention
has been called to it by number of citi-
zens. 1t arises from the improvements
now being made on the property on which
the large storehouses of j. j. Franey are
to be erected and particular by the pave
ment that has been laid on the Centre
street side of the property. The grade
adopted leaves the east, or lower end of
the pavement about eight inches above
narrow space intervening between the
pavement and Lehigh Valley tracks.
Some remedy should be suggested at an
early day, as the drop is at the foot of a
very steep incline and should any one
make misstep there serious injury will
result. Either the grade of the railroad
must be raised, or an incline must be
made from the end of the pavement, or
the latter must be lowered.

The efforts to get the improved breaker

with excellent results. John Veith, the
mining superintendent for the P. & r. G.

penter, and George Simmons, master
mechanic for the same company, visited
the place yesterday in company with
Division Superintendent ohm Skeath and
spent several hours in making an lhspec
tion of the improvements. They found
everything in excellent condition and
order and the breaker will no doubt be
ready for operations on the first of June
1t Yves operated for short while as a test
yesterday and the officials said every.
thing worked very satisfactorily.

come from Mr.. Knipple and others, who
say that on account of the pipe not being
able to take all that flows to it their
cellars become flooded with filth The
owners of property connected with the
sewer at points above the properties of
the complainants say that the difficulty
lies in the fact that the Knipple portion
of the sewer lies fiat. Still, If
the developments forecasted by Health
Officer Miles today are rea ized, the cor
rectness of either theory as 20 the cause
of the trouble will not be material. Mr.
Miles says he has been at work on the
case and it is pretty we'll settled that the
sewer is to be cut off at point above the
Knipple property and then continued by
q new course to the borough limits, which
will abate all public nuisance arising
from the line and the people connected
W ith the cut off end will be obliged to
look after it. If any more nuisances
arise from it they can be only of private
character and will have to be abated by
the people connected, either by enlarging,
plugging, or tearing out the sewer. 1t is
hoped for the sake of general relief that
some course to settle the controversy will
be speedily adopted. 1t has monopolized
much valuable time of the borough offic-
ials for the past two months on account
of the intricate propositions involved as
to whether the nuisance was q private, or
a public one
