VIII Keen Its Word.

In carrying out its project to raise funds
with which to erect building of its own the
National Club not only proposes keeping
faith TO the letter with the Borough Coun-
ell in return for the license granted, but will
also do all in its power to please the people of
the region. After the first exhibition there
was some complaint that the club did not
give sufficient encouragement to home talent
and to allay such complaints arrangements
were put on foot to offer good purses for good
talent of the region, but it now appears that
certain hackers and sports have turned their
attention to keeping that talent out of reach
because they claim the club was responsible
for keeping the Gibson Lafferty fight out of
this town. The club will not lend its name
to anything it suspects as being in any way
fakish and since the stand stated has been
taken the public cannot blame the club for
going out of the region to look for talent
The next exhibition will take place on April
9TH. Tim Hurst, the manager and referee OF
the club is now engaged in securing talent
and is negotiating with Young Critic, Joe
Walcott, Casper Leon, and other frst-class
athletes

To Make Fast Time.

The Reading railroad will soon place
on the Bound Brook route, between
Philadelphia ard New York. series of
special trains that will make the distance
between Philadelphia and New York in .O5
minutes, which will be fifteen minutes
quicker than the best time now made by any
train between these two great cities of the
East Much of the distance will be travelled
at regular speed of go miles an hour. The
indications are that the Pennsylvania line
will run train on competing time between
the two cities. There will be great rivalry
between the two railroad companies and the
traveller will want to go to Gotham in the
Fastest train.

by G. b. jefferson, Klaw & Erlanger's

evening, March 18th In addition to being
a splendid comedy production, the play is
certainly a great novelty and supplies to
young and old one of the most enjoyable

have about it the very breeziness of the
white tents. The play which leads up to the

THE STORM.
Steam Railroad Trains Moving But EIec

Steam Railroad Trains Moving, But Elec-
trio Roads Stalled.
The snow storm that started so uneXpect-
edly yesterday afternoon Sprayed the wheels
of many avenues of business, but not to an
extent that the storm of about thirteen
months ago did. All the steam railroad lines
are in operation and no trains failed to get
through, although several missed connections
by arriving from thirty to forty-fye
minutes late.
The electric railways were less fortunate.
The tracks were buried last night and no
cars were run into town to-day up to noon.
At noon to-day the Lakeside Electric Rail
way Company succeeded in getting its track
clear from Mahanoy City to Indian Ridge
collery, but two cars were required to make
a trip one way.
Supervisor Llewellyn was out early this
morning with gang of men who were put
to work making passage ways through the
drifts at street crossings and to this activity
the people were indebted to-day for reduc-
ton of inconvenience in many parts of the
town.

When the ground hog makes his appear

few pennies suffice to start boy out well
equipped for the game. For one cent he can
purchase this season sixteen 'commies," two
stone agates, or shooting men," OF one
large glass agate, the envy Of all the boys in
the game. In playing for keeps Shenan-
doah boys seldom play for anything better
than 'commies," A few years ago the stone
agates cost from one to two cents each and
the glass one much more, while not more
than five or six of the ''commes" could be
had for a penny

of n. Y, to recover the sum of $50, the
amount of policy held on the life of his
uncle, James Grant, who died short time
ago. The case was heard before Justice
Charles w. Kramer. Payment of the claim
is refused on the ground that Grant who
was a bachelor, was not in good physical con-
dition at the time the policy was issued, and
was suffering from bronchitis The court
