 Do men realize that they are starting for the Arctic regions? That the sum- sner is already well advanced. and that winter will set in there by the time they reach their destination? That winter in those hyperborean regions lasts from Oc- tober to May? That the temperature falls so low that cold performs the effect x of fire? That without adequate protee- ton agaanst the climate and abundant food all life disappear? Do men who have always been accustomed to mild cli- mates realize what it is to winter at tse Arctic circle?

We have not a word of Encouragement for them. Indeed, 1t is possible that it may yet become fash lonaDe 10 make Il tour in Alaska.
 For Alaska is land of wonders apart iromlts mineral products. It's days are snit any tourist: It has stupendous moun- tains and tie biggest placiers in the world and extinct volcanoes, and very grand, Il has hot springs. It has big game. in c!udtng the caribou.

bernard Stroup, who was quietly wait
ing his trial in KIttanning Jail saved the
cost OF the trial by cody walking out.
The deputy showed a number of visitors
through the jail and as he was doing so
Stroup stepped into his cell, shaved off his
moustache, put on a coat and a sIouch hat,
cody Joined the procession, put his hand
kerchiet TO his face and walked out. He
was not missed until at night when the
deputy went to lock the prisoners in their
cells and couldn't find Stroup.
"A man went into Pennsy lvania court
recently with suit against railroad
company for putting him off train He
claimed that he took a seat upon the plat
form because he had only II shor: distance
to go and il was not worth his while to
ride inside. The conductor told him it
was against the rules 10 ride outside upon
platform and he must either ride inside
or be put off. He refusee and was elected
from the train. Then he brought suit
The company contended il was its duty to
prevent accidents, and it was its duty to
forbid passengers from riding on its plat
forms. The court held the rule to be
reasonable one and sustained the COM
pany.
The Carrolltown NelCs says: Ex
Sherlf Gray, of this place, has turned in
Ventor, and his invention undoubtedly
proves success. The new production is
door lock. Like all other men, the
sheriff has had d great deal of trouble with
his door locks. The spring Will split or
break, and new lock is the only remedy
to be had. So the sheriff set to thinking.
His ambition was to Invent a lock that
would have no spring to get out of order,
and be simple in structure, This he has
succeeded in doing. The model was shown
to US Monday and il works like a charm.
The lock is composed of but three pieces
and each piece is strong and will last life
time. 1t can never get out of order. 1t
can be used on the right or left side of the
door. or as a mortice lock. The model
will be sent TO Washing ton and a patent
applied for right away.
In 1886 Mr.. John Farrell, of Altoona.
was conducting the old WopSononock ho-
tel on North avenue, in that city, aud had
little hole above his bedroom door where
he frequently placed his money for safe
keeping. On moving away in 1887 he took
what he supposed was all he had placed in
this out of the-way receptacle. The
owner of the place, Mr.. Bernard Kelly
was fIiend of Mr.. Farrell and since then
they had frequently talked together of the
place where Mr.. Farrell had kept his
money, On Monday Mr.. Kelly. while
making some repairs, thrust his hand in
above the door mentioned and on feeling
around was surprised to pull out couple
greenhacks and two railroad checks He
Investigated further. with the following
results: $500 in currency, 5000 in gold
and Pennsylvania railroad check for

Allow me to trespaSs on your columns

tdtneer that the ''coterie to suppress facts.

my insisting that the EbensbIrg school
building lis not what it should be- al
though the fact is known to everyone, from
q. Huntley, late school director, down to
every man, woman and child in Ebens-
burg.
1t cites the Cambria county court house
and the Ebensburg opera house as ex-
ampleS of buildings settling. visit to
either of these buildings will disclose the
fact that they were both built with care,
with good material and good workman
ship, and if there are any defects they are
but slight. A visit to the Ebensburg
school building will disclose the reverse.
Bad foundations, bad plastering. bad paint
ing and cheap glass; everything In sight is
shoddY; what is covered up nothing but
the y rays will disclose. The difference in
putting up the school building as it is and
the cost of putting it up as it should be,
imagine would be sufficient to build a neat
little cottage, perhaps two.
The statement by the MOu1ltdineer that
the building has been inspected by man
who has "a little grandson attending the
school" is regarded by the MOluntdir,eer as
a cliucher. The man, however, may be like
the man we heard of during the late war
who was willing that all his wife's rela-
tions should go To the front or il may be
that extensive repairs gives promise of a
good job.
The MOIthtdineer says if give my name,
etc, it will substantiate its statement as
TO the examination of the school building.
| may as well state to the MOItntdinecr
right here that an examination and
statement by "a little coterie for the sup
preston of facts, figures and news or by a
gentleman with grandson" will not be
worth publishing. The people of Ebens-
burg would be gratified with statement
of the condition of the school building by
competent smechanics, but to make it
worth publishing il must come from Il
source that can be traced clean to the

MRS. ). j. DENNY, DIED FEBRUARY, 1897.
The writer of this communication feels
it her duty TO pay this, a small tribute to
the memory of one who ever adorned the
family circle. One, who by her suavity of
manner in hei intercourse with others,
gained for herself, the esteem and respect
of all with whom she came in contact.
The record of Mrs. Denny shows a con-
tinuous career As child, sister, teacher,
mother and friend, such as as any chris
tian lady might be proud To claim. The
eldest of large family deprived by death
of the protection of a father, she while yet
quite young, took it upon herself to assist
her good mother. in the care and education
of the other members of the family. And
who that knew her will forget her tender
care and solicitude for each annd all? She
was our true counselor and constant com
panion. in our young lite. and the faithful,
trusted friend of our more mature years.
"Ay, turn and weep.-'tiS manliness
To be heart broken here
For the grave of Earth's best nobleness
Is watered by the tear"
As teacker she will be remembered by
many whose lives we skDow are better for
her instruction and example. And to
those who came under her influence, now
men and women, the name of Sarah Jane
Kennedy, is synonymous with all that is
pure, refined an0 elevaIing in the charac-
ter of woman. She was faithful and de-
voted wife, fond and induIgent mother
What will not the sacred name of mother
recall as her children go through the lab
yrinth of years, To those grief stricken
ones, TO her desOlate sisters and brothers,
and many mourning friends, may this be
the consoling reflection, That their loss
however irreparable in this world, is her
eternal gain. l.
