All the way from East Orrington to

old daughter of Nick Curran. a dairy
farmer. Curran has been confined to

weeks, and every morning Sarah has
Deen up at three o'clock to do the
chores. When size and her mother
have milked lS cows and put them TO
pasture. she eats her breakfast, and by
the time the other milkmen are getting
up she is on the milk cart on her way to
Bangor. When she has gone over
good part of the city, supplying Gus
toners with milk in pint and quart
lots, she turns the horse for home, ar
irving there in time to take dinner. In
fhe afternoon she attends to the farm
work and does other tasks that usually
derolve upon man. After supper she
helps TO milk the IS cows and goes to
bed early. TO get a good start the next
morning.
Though she does the work of a man,
she is not at all mannish in her ways,
being of slight frame and very modest.
Until she left school two years ago to
help her father on the farm she was
considered the brightest pupil in her
class. Since then most of her life has
been passed outdoors. She has driven
n pair of horses TO haul cordwood to
market, taking it from the stump in the
forest to the dooryard of her customers
and unloading it without trouble. She
says that when she reaches IS years of
age--by which time her father ought

school and take course in some col
lege that grants equal privileges to
both sexes. After getting educated

Fleeing the Workmen.

The alien tax law is being made u
preteXt to fleece and rob naturalized
workmen in these parts. At Jeddo office
"A number of old hands, men who have
been citizens for over twenty-five years,
had the three-cent tax stopped from
them, owing, it is thought, to the stu
pidlty of the bosses. At Upper Lehigh
stripping two brothers who are citizens
had 93 cents each deducted from their
last pay and were told that their papers
were no good. The papers are all right;
yet the money is deducted.

No Clue to the Killing.

The mystery of the death of the I'M
known peddler, who was found hanging
to tree near LuZerne borough on Sun
day, is still unsolved. The police have
been hard at work, but so far have not
found any tangible clue upon which to
proceed. They have not been able to
identify the man, although they have
gone to Polish jews in Wilkesbarre and
Scranton with his description. There
was nothing about his clothing which
gave them any clue, the murderer hav-
ing evidently removed any letters he
might have had.
The only two pieces of evidence are
the hat found near the body, in which
was written the name of Charley
White and red leather grip sack
which was found 200 feet from the
scene of the crime. In the grip was
small piece of suspender and half
dozen bottles of machine OIL This grip
and the bottles of oil are being taken
around to sewing machine men, but as
yet nothing has been learned from them
The coroners inquest was held and a
verdict of murder was rendered.

Changes Made on the Valley,

The policy of economy inaugurated by
the management of the Lehigh Valley
Company has struck Hazleton, and it
seems almost certain that the dispatch
cr's Office, which has been located there
for years, will be removed to Delano.
Men are engaged in stringing new wires
from Weatherly to Delano. and no rea-
son can be given other than the transfer
of the Office to the latter town. There
is also much talk of the removal of the
shops, but nothing definite about the
company's plans can be learned.

The neighbors thought the vendetta was
declared on, but this was not so. San

sconced in nearby house. The shoot
ing attracted crowd, but the volley
caused no blood-letting.
Then Tony went to bed, and after a

some traces of the previous evenings
bitterness in him, but kind friends per-
suaded him to forcgo the pleasure of
killing Sandella and he reluctantly con-
Sented.
But long before Tony had risen the
other two were up and about town in
search of some one who had authority to
forge their matrimonial chains. Squire
Buckley was prevailed upon to tic the
knot. When the ceremony was about
completed Tony came upon the scene
and demanded possession of the babe.
The custody of the child was denied
him, the law holding that the mother
is entitled to her own.
Then the sunny side of human nature
displayed itself. The first to congratu-
late the newly married pair was Tony.
He wished them bon voyage through life
and gallantly escorted them to a Ridge
street hostelry, whore the health of all

gun housekeeping next door to their for
mer home. Undaunted, Tony is ready

From the Scranton News.
Bishop Hoban sailed from Rome on
Saturday and will arrive home in about
Il week. Upon his arrival he will
assume active and full control of the
Scranton diocese, and Bishop O'IIara
will become bishop emeritus. Bishop
Hoban will liye in the episcopal resi-
dence next to the cathedral, and there
also Bishop OIIara will live. The lat
ters wise counsel and ripe experience
will be of invaluable assistance to the
younger prelate in the arduous direction
and management of the extensive do
cese.
Bishop O'IIara is no longer able to
fulfill the eXacting duties of the shep-
herd of this diocese. His condition of
health is maryelously good, considering
his advanced years and the thrilling
runaway accident that befel him few
weeks ago. His powers of mind and in
tellect are as undiminished as they were
forty years ago. But the flesh is weak
though the spirit is willing.
The entrance of Bishop Hoban upon
the history of the diocese will mark an
epoch than can have no higher ideal or
ambition than to equal the work of the
past twenty-five years. The work done
by Bishop O'IIara is almost miraculous
1t is too stupendous to be calculated
He was the guiding star of this vast,
populous, nourishing diocese.
Bishop Hoban has all the qualities
that are required in the continuance Of
the noble work of Bishop O'IIara. lie
has great executive ability, is II man of
wide range of iberality on the questions
that perplex and interest people, has II
vast Storehouse of knowledge, and is an
interchangeable worker. Some of his ac-
complishmonts with regard to the Ian
guages are as follows: He can converse
nuently in German, Spanish, French,
Italian and Irish, and knows Latin and
Greek like A., B. C. In English he is a
forceful, eloquent and charming CONVEX
sationalist and orator.

The WeaItIliest Baby.

The greatest heiress in the world is the baby Grand Duchess Olga, daugh- ter of the cZar and czarina of Russia. Already she is one of the richest per sons in the world, and what she will inherit is beyond computation.
 Her bascinet is studded with pre- cious stones, and she has a doll whose dress is ornamented with priceless em- eralds. Every pin used to fasten her imperial garments is made of pure gold.
 If the czar shall have no son, it is possible that he will make this little daughter heir to the throne. In any case she will inherit a large share of his incalculable private fortune.
 The week she was born $5, 900 900 was settled on her. This sum was invested in British, French and other foreign securities, as the czar, like other mon- archs, is not absolutely certain of the future and does not wish his family to be in need at any time of the neces- saries of life.
 The imperial infant has been inun- dated with costly presents from all the monarchs of the world and from the wealthy noblemen and barbarous chief tains who rule under the czar some of the great countries in his empire These presents alone are worth millions of dollars,

Some Dainty Fabrics
 For the Babu $ Use,

Nowadays tho shops are full of charm- ing fabrics of pleasing colors. Perhaps none of these attracts the mothers eye which are made in all sorts of pretty colorngs. The shades of pink are quite ideal. There are also a beautiful green, a bright canary yellow, a sand colored linen and varieties of heliotrope and blue that lend themselves to all pur- poses.
 Naturally enough, most mothers de- eide, despite the long list of so called new shades, that the hue known as 'baby blue" is quite the prettiest of all. It certainly is admirably suited to the little peoples frocks and has been successfully employed as the decora- ton of baby cots and baskets. Charm ing illustrations are affe lied in some nursery fitments of English manufac- ture. but so siinple-any American mother can easily duplicate them.
 One of these models is a baby cot standing on white enameled mounts The baby blue" linen employed in drap- ing it is embroidered with swallows in white and blue flax, the blues merging from deep indigo to pale ciel, and it is further trimmed with blue and white handmade pillow lace manufactured Of flax thread. The curtains, the flounce surrounding the hammock portion of the cot and the little cover correspond in style, and bows of blue ribbon give a pretty finish to all. The fiounce has a couple of rows of lace just eased on.
