THE recent destruction Of the capitol build
ing at Harrisburg, and with it many valuable
state documents, will likely effect the school
appropriations at least those districts which
have not yet received their full quota. State
Treasurer Haywood in a letter to the super
intendent Of Northumberland county, has
this to say upon the question: "Unfortun-
ately the records Of the school department,
including the warrant book aiiidavits,
certificates. &c, were destroyed in the Gre OF
the 2ud inst On consultation with the de-
partmeut aud that before warrants can bee
issued TO any unpaid districts, a new book
must be made up. To do this it will Dee
necessary that another affidavit and certi-
fcate be made out by the school board and
approved by the county superintendent.
Possibly you may be able to furnish the dis
tricts which remain unpaid, with blanks II
not they will be furnished by he school dc
partmont as soon as they can be printed, For
the reason stated, it will not be possible to
begin Issuing warrants before the middle OF
March"

THE question of increasing the indebted
ness of the school district, which will be
voted upon at the borough election on Tues
day, has been apparently overlooked, and
hence is the subject Of very little discussion
by the taxpayers. Every resident Of the
borough whether he owns property or not,
has direct interest in the question. The
Finance Committee Of the School Board, in
another column of to-day issue, presents a
statement of the financial condition Of the
school district, and the reasons given for the
increased indebtedness are such that carry
conviction with them. Viewed from any
standpoint, it seems that consideration should
impel the voters to favor the increased in
debtedness and give the Board the sanction
to go ahead with the contemplated improve
ments in the school property. Read care
fully the statement Of the finance committee
aud cast your vote as your best judgment
dictates

MANY men engage in business with the
idea that advertising will bring them success;
and because those who have succeeded in
business, mainly through judicious use Of
printers ink, the generality Of the people
have come to believe that it is true. But
great danger and frequent disaster result
from this idea, much tho same as it does
when people have learned that a stimulent
is necessary TO tone up the system, and they
take medicine" as some take Advertising
without knowing the good from the bad.
The result is sick men--bad business. Adver-
tising pays if you get it good if you get it
otherwise it is useless expenditure of
money. The HERALD is the recognized
medium through which to reach the buyers
i'm fact, there is none better Advertisements
inserted in other publications here is merely
a charitable donation without any idea Of de-
irving benefit therefrom We publish ''all
the news that's ft to print and hence reach
the buyers.

THE editor of the HERALD has made it a
rule to ignore entirely the personal attacks
Of the Coal street publication, and in pursuing
this course we have been complimented by
the good people of Shenandoah But in
Justice to School Director T. r. Edwards and
his friends who appears to be the special
target Of the Coal street editor, we will say
the gentleman has never written, dictated
nor inspired an article appearing in these
columns, and the aforesaid editor knew he
was lying when he made the charge. We
make this statement only in justice to Mr.
EdMards.

general lack of deccncy in certain newspa-

pulpit, from the religious press and from
secular periodicals of the highest class. The

them to give less prominence to crime and
scandal, and otherwise TO labor in the in

SURE TEST OF DEATH.


GLASS NMllNt
Mr.. William Calver of Washington is
about TO take stops to urge on the legisla-
lures of The different states a measure to
do away with any possibility of persons
being buried while in trance. He also in
tends TO embody resolution for the cree
ton of morgues in this country similar TO
ones used in some Of the cities i'm Europe
and has added an improvement of his own
by which the bodies may be preserved in a
natural state indefinitely.
He advocates tho erection in every place
near q cemetery Of a morgue in which all
bodies will be placed prior to burial This
deadhouse is to have large room, whose
walls are of glass, so that all within can
be seen by an attendant, who win be sta
toned in an adjoining apartment. Here
all corpses will be placed with string
attached to the wrist, so that any move
ment will ring bell In the guard room.
They win lie here until decomposition has
proved that it is impossible that any life
exists. Disinfeotants could keep the place
perfectly healthy. A morgue similar to
this is now in use in some European towns.
Another idea of Mr.. Calver is that the
bodies be desiccated. 1t Is well known
fact that in the dry air of the desert meat
never spoils, but keeps sweet indefinitely,
even in the warmest climate, fact which
is borne out by the statements of travellers
in our own deserts of the west Mr. Calver
would so arrange that when the proof of
death has settled forever any question of
life existing the corpse be placed in u large
chamber and subject for days to a very dry
and intense heat. If the process is slow,
the result win be that the body will shriy-
IL, but it will preserve it's natural look as
long as the air remains dry BY arranging
the dead in glass coffins, through which
dry, hot clean air constantly flows, the
men who die today can be kept for years
The presidents, warriors and poets, whom
al wish to see, would then never pass out
Of view of the human race. ace.-Washington
