Died Suddenly.

Hen. y j. App, who resided in this
county until within the past ten
years, and who while here was one
of the best known young men In this
end of the county, died suddenly at
his brothers home near Berrys-
burg, in Dauphin county, last
Thursday morning.
He retired the night before, ap-
parently enjoying good health; in
the morning he was found dead near
his bed where he evidently expired
while in the act of making his toilet.
1t is evident that he became Sc
riously i'll early in The morning and
attempted to dress when he was
stricken with paralysis, death re-
sulting instantly.
Harry was the youngest of four
brothers, who were all born and
laised i'll Monroe township. near
this place. The brothers who sur.
viye him are Francis, with whom
the deceased made his home at the
time CT his death ; j. g., of Lewis.
burg, and d. Norman, who resides
at the old homestead in Monroe
township.
The remains were brought to the
home of the latter from where the
funeral took place on Sunday after.

Dr. Swallow at MiddIebueeh.

AS had been advertised, DR.. S. G
Swallow came to Middleburgh on
Saturday. II had been supposed
that the Doctor, rs a great peformer,
would attract an immense crowd.
OF course his coming WAS interpreted
to be in the interest of his own can
didacy for State Treasurer. If the
Doctor had given the people in ad-
vance an idea that he was going to
give them some sensational discovery
about the State Robbery buildings
at Harrisburg, q large crowd would
have assembled. However Doctor
Swallow drew larger crowd than
any other prohibitionist could in so
small county where some thirty
licensed houses do IL business in
liquor. DR.. Swallow rehearsed his
libel sut and tho causes that led up
to it. This the Doctor might have
omitted, as his audience was fully
aware of every phase of it. His al
lusions to other figures and thefts in
state politics and IN official life was
Il welcome trend in his speech.
Hon. Gushing of Maine also spoke
on questions pertinent to the success
and vitality of their party interests.

Another Fire at Mcclure.

The firm of Yearick & Decker,
dealers in general merchandise, at
Mcclure, were burned out for the
second time on last Thursday night.
The fire of incendiary origin, was
first discovered about 1l:3O o'clock
and had gained such headway that
it was impossible to save any goods.
Harry Wagner, who owned the
building, had $500 known insurance
on the same. Have not learned the
amount OF insurance on the stock.
It looks very much as if Mcclure
had one or more ''fre bugs" This
firm was burned out while in the
Howell building, a few months ago

he New York School Election.

In the state of New York, the
school trustees, in the cities aud
many large towns, are appointed
not elected. In the smaller towns
and villages, where they are elected,
men and women can vote on the
same terms, that is, either must
have the care of children attending
school, or pay school taxes on real
estate or on personal property valued
at $4,000. Thus only small por
ton of the men Of the state haye the
right of school suffrage. The election
takes place in town meeting and
not by the Australian ballot, and
the publicity has doubtless kept
some women who are eligible from
exercising the privilege.
The township system as opposed
to the district system has lately
been recommended by Mr. Charles
r. Skinner, State Superintendent of
Public Instruction. He will intro
duce bill in the next legislature
providing for such a system. As
the bill was originally prepared, it
was so framed that women would
be deprived OF the right to vote for
school trustees.
Wherever this provision of the
the proposed change in the law be-
came known, much interest was
shown by the women in the election
on August 3rd. No official returns
are made of this election, but news.
paper, reports and private letters
indicate that much larger vote
was polled by women than ever be.
fore, and in many places it was fully
as large as that polled by the men. In
others more women than men voted,
as at Warsaw where 70 women and
81 men voted and Lily Dale where
there were As women and % men. In
some places where women had never
attended the school meeting, they
appeared in good proportion. and
often elected a woman trustee. In
Baldwin there was only one woman
present and she nominated woman
for trustee. The sentiment of the
place is so strongly conservative
that number Of women who wish
ed to attend the meeting were pre-.
vented from doing so by their hus.
bands objections. Nevertheless the
arguments presented with this nom
nation appealed so favorably to the
men present that the candidate was
unanimously elected. The interest
shown by the woman brought out
larger number of men than usual in
several places. Last year 10 votes
were cast at the school election in
Randolph ; in the same district this
year, there were 81, of which 26 were
cast by women. In Jamestown
about 900 women voted out of a to.
tai Of less than 1000. In Jericho
Port Washington, South Stockton
and Belleview an equal number of
men and women voted. About half
the votes were cast by women in
East Lansing, Westbury, Medina.
Sherman, Ellicott, Hamlet, Thorn
ton and many other places.
The school election in New York
this year has educated many women
to see that it is both possible and
desirable that they should take an
active interest in school manage
ment. Il has increased the interest.
1t has also demonstrated that a
large per cent of the women who are
eligable wish to retain school su f.
frage.

RUSSIAN BEAR ANNOYED,

May BE Placed in the Undesirable Posi-
ton of Shedding Christian Blood.
NEW YORK, March 3O.-A dispatch
to The Herald from St. Petersburg
says: In the most important quarters
here much annoyance is felt at the
signs OF the vacillating policy shown
by the powers at moment when the
greatest firmness is necessary. The
feeling here is that the other powers
are trying to place Russia in the unde-
sirable position of shedding Christian
blood.
The Ogoloski publishes very strong
article on the subject, and thinks Eng
land is going to establish herself in
Crete, and as Crete is not what the
Dardenelles are to Russia, the latter
would not go to war about it. Crete
can only be pacified by shedding Chris
tian blood, but orthodox Russians can
not do so. England has done so before
and can do it now.
In diplomatic circles the position is
looked upon as very embroiled, and
the only solution would be that if the
Greeks insist OH fighting they should
be allowed to go on, and be beaten.
1t is considered that after all interest
is entirely concentrated on what is
taking place Oh the Greece-Turkish
frontier, Russia would probably I'M
dertake the pacification in. connection
with another power.
