BEAUTIFULLY Decorated.
Gliding & Co.'S Store All Ready For the
HoIidays-Their Store One Of Beauty.

The store of Gliding & Co., is
really deserving Of special mention.
The interior of their store is beauti-
fully decorated with green bunting
running in every direction. All the
chandeliers, too, are draped beauti-
fully with white wreaths. and stars are
hung here and there to help beautify.
While great deal of attention has
been given to the interior, the exter-
ior has not been neglected, for their
two windows are the source of much
admiration one is beautifully trimm-
ed with ne eckwear, gloves, handker-
chiefs, mufflers, mems jewelry, etc.
the other window represents gentle
mans room, in which are all his ward
robe thrown carelessly around here
and there. The windows, as we'll as
their other decorations, reflect much
credit upon Gliding & Co, and are
certainly worth seeing.

James Griner, proprietor of the
Pullman hotel, at Duryea, shot and
instantly killed his step, daughter,
Caroline Snefer, Tuesday afternoon.

over some money matters. Griner
gave himself up at once and was taken
to the Jail at Wllkesbarre. The muir
derer is an ex-member of the legisla-
ture, representing Luzerne Co., in
the house of representatives in 1895.
At the expiration of his term he went
to Duryea, and has been proprietor
of the Pullman hotel ever since.

The special sent from this place to

Manufacturing Company had com
menced operations with force of
fifty hands manufacturing the patent
door knobs is incorrect. The manu-
facture of the knobs is at present
being carried by sthe Bloomsbury

Weatherwax Company is not in shape

St. Johns Day.

There was large crowd present
variously estimated at from 5000 to
5,OOO-to participate in the celebra-
ton of St. Johns day at the Oxford
Orphan Asylum last Thursday. Many
prominent visitors were present from
different parts Of the State and the ex-
ercises were of a character to inspire
interest in the institution and make
the occasion pleasant one.
The usual program was carried out,
DR.. Chas. d. McIver. Of the State
Normal and Industrial School, deliy-
ering the annual address. He spoke
wholly about educational matters and
in advocacy Of the special school tax
law, urging upon his hearers to vote
for it on the 10th Of August. DR..
McIver is an able man and a strong
speaker but despite the power Of his
reasoning and the eloquence of his APP
peal his words seemed to fall upon un-
appreciative ears. The only applause
we heard was when he finished and sat
down.
Some persons went so far as to de-
clare the speech was in bad taste-not
fitting the time and the occasion. But
perhaps the case was properly stated
by a gentleman who said DR.. McIver
was not so much to blame as the gen.
tlemen who invited him-they knew
his Jealous and enthusiastic nature and
the cause nearest to his heart was the
one they might have expected him to
talk about. However, he was not
criticised because he preached educa-
ton SO much as for advocating the spe-
cial school tax. But how was he
going to talk about one phase Of the
question without bringing in the other?

Talking with different persons we
find there is considerable opposition TO
the proposed increase in taxes for pub
lie roads and schools. The people feel
that they are now paying about all the
taxes they can stand, and then they
do not look for the benefits that should
arise from this expenditure of money.
