and Timony present. Bills as follows
were ordered paid A. II. Frease, coal
hauling, Sc; Cross Creek Coal Company,
coal, $3.50; j. +. Sweeney, salary and
postage, S106.22.
The proper officers were instructed to

taught the required three terms.
A resolution of coincidence on the
death of Morris Ferry, father of Director
j. B. Ferry, was passed and ordered
placed on the minutes.
Tax Collector Bachman was present
and the board went over his accounts.
Mr.. Bachman was requested to meet
the board again on Saturday evening.
when the final clearing of accounts will
take place.
In order that the board can obtain a
fair idea of the work accomplished by
the teachers, it was decided that Prof
McBrierty, in conjunction with the
teacher of each room, start this morn
ing to examine the pupils of the several
schools.
The board decided to invite County
uperintendent Harrison and the mem
bers-elect of the school board to be pres
ent at the graduation exercises of the
high school on Saturday next.
1t is likely that before the present
board dissolves that the mem bers will
arrange to have their photographs taken
with the Daniel Coke Memorial school
in the background.

Publish the Exoneration Lists.

From the Weatherly Herald.
Borough councils and school boards
should combine and publish the list of
eXoneratlons. Those taxpayers who
pay their tax regularly would like to
know who are not paying their just dues
and the reasons. The eXoneration list
would not be so big if the names of
those exonerated were to appear in pub
lie print. In some cases where exonera-
tions allowed by the borough and school
for the reason of poverty, the borough
could find employment for these persons
on the streets.
"A great number of names appear on
the assessors lists and copied to the tax
duplicate, of people that have been dead
long time, others that have moved
away years ago and still others that
cannot be found and never lived here.
Many Implications are also made: the
same person in the lists twice. These
people have all have to be exonerated
and the list is sweled to enormous pro-
portions.

On Saturday evening the old town of
Jeddo was the scene of a patriotic gath
ering, and nowhere were the stars and
stripes ever given more enthusiastic
greeting than when handsome Ameri-
can flag was thrown to the breeze from
the top of the iifty-foot pole which had
been erected for the purpose. The flag
raising exercises were conducted under
the auspices of Jeddo Progressive Club,
and right well did the young men in
charge carry out the work of elevating
old glory apd paying homage to the
national colors.
Over thousand people had assembled
when the st. Patrick's band and large
delegations from Freeland and Drifton
arrived at Jeddo. After several patriotic
selections by the band, Frank McHugh,
representing the Progressive Club, open
ed the exercises with an appropriate ad
dress, at the conclusion of which he in
troduced Rev. 7. A. Snyder, pastor of
Jeddo M. T.. church. The address OF
the divine was one of the best heard on
the North Side in many a day, and the
audience responded to the sentiments
which he voiced with repeated cheers
and applause.
The news of Commodore Deweys
great victory in the Philippines made
the occasion still more joyful, and en-
thusiasm reigned supreme when the big
starry banner was gracefully unfurled
above the heads of the assemblage.
Every. heart beat in unison with the
stirring strains of the national airs play
ed by the band, and after cheers for the
colors, for the hero of Manila and for
the Progressive Club the audience dis
persed, well satisfied that Jeddo's pat
riotiSm is of the genuine kind.

Coal Company's PhiIanthrophy.

From the Hazleton Plain Speaker.
The Lehigh Valley Coal Company has
posted notices telling their employees
that ii the latter were favorable to the
organization of a relief fund the same
would be organized in the towns in
which they have colleries. The organ
ization of the same is left to the men
and there is nothing compulsory about
the matter. The object is to relieve the
families of men who may meet with fatal
accidents in the mines and also those
who may be injured while at work. All
who sign to join will contribute one
days wages which will go into the treas
ury. In case of an accident another
assessment will be made of days wages
and the company contributing as much
as the total contribution for their share.
In this manner the company will give
as much as all the members. In case of
the death of man $50 will be contrl-
buted to pay burial expenses. The
widow will receive SO per week for one
year after death, provided she does not
marry and each child under twelve years
of age is to receive 81 per week. In
case man is injured he will also receive
a benefit

LARGEST WINE RESERVOIR IN THE WORLD,
man when compared with this Cali
fornia creation. One could go boating
on this lake very comfortably, al
though it would be but short ride.
A steam launch would find room
enough to steam back and forth and
possibly turn around.
This is how the tank was really
built. First an excavation was made
in the rocky hillside. Next a wall of
concrete two feet in thickness was put
in the floor and sides. Then came
the laying and glazing of the cement.
This was not all. Had the lake been
left open at the top impurities must
have found their way into it, not to
mention the deluge that comes in what
California knows as the rainy season.
All around the sides big steel Cir
ders were put in place, and on these
rests the sectional cover of the lake.
This is SO constructed that not a raw
of light can penetrate into this vast
quantity of wine, and it mellows and
ripens just as if it were in the most
deep down vault that can be found
anywhere.

A Lake of Wine.

1t recently took two powerful steam
pumps a week to fill the largest wine
reservoir in the world. Properly
speaking, it is a lake-a lake of red
wine 1O4 feet long, "a feet wide and "a
feet deep.
OF course it is in California, that
State Of big things, that this wonder
is to be seen-down at Asti by the
Russian River valley, and the lake it
self is the blending of the juices of
grapes from a thousand vines AS a
system of blending wine it is in this
respect as much wonder as in point
of quantity and place of keeping.
1t is another proof also that neces-
sity is the mother of invention, for if
it had not been that the colonists
could find no way to dispose of their
wine in a profitable manner, owing
to its abundance, it is probable the
lake would never have been created
and another wonder thus lost to the
world.

last generation, and even some of the

Some More Wires Need Cutting.
From the wilxesbarre Reporter

From the Wilkesbarre Reporter
Naval officers say that it is a great
piece of good luck for Commodore Dewey
that the cable is cut While they 90 no
further they probably think that if the
wires to the White House were also
severed the war would probably last a
traction as long. 1t was no wish of the
president to fight a battle in Manila
waters. In fact he had made up his
mind to call the Asiatic squadron back
home when an unexpected turn of affairs
caused the governor of Hong Kong to
order the American vessels out the har-
Dor. They had no place to go and were
consequently sent TO Manila. Thus
England may be said to be indirectly
responsible for the good luck of Com
modoro Dewey in having a chance to
face the Spaniards.

A Woman as Saw Sill Hand.

A braWny woman clad in blue cot
tonade waist and skirt, who is able to
run a saw mill engine as well as any
man in the business, is rather an un-
usual sight said Walter Wade, Of
Louisville, KY, but that is just what
| saw in a Tennessee woods a few
weeks ago. The female engineers
name is Annie Fables, and she told
me she had been doing full hands
work at the mill for six years. Five
years ago she decided she could run
the engine, and the mill boss told me
she had been one of the most careful.
as well as one of the most competent
he had ever seen.
Mrs. Fables lost her husband six
years and half ago. and few months
afterward she asked for a place in the
mill where her liege lord had been
employed. She began working as an
bearer, and in a year and half
was put in charge of the monster
piece Of machinery which furnished
motive power for the large circular
and straight saws. She has all along
earned a mans wages and has been
able to support and give her seven
fatherless little onss a good common
school education. She is fond of the
hard labor, and has lost but five days
during her connection with the mill,
and then she was pinistering to a
sick child"

NO BRET HARTE HEROES.
The Gold Regions Are Comparatively Free
from Lawlesi ness.

There is little disorder in the Alaska
and the Klondike regions. The wild
life pictured in Bret Harte's books is
not in evidence, and that author would
vote the place dead slow were he TO
visit it. Especially in Canada, where
the mounted police, the best organiz-
ed force of it's kind in the world, pa
trolls the mining regions at regular in
tervals, there is little disturbance.
Rossland, just over the border north
of Spokane, is a good illustration OF
this. Last year there were 1000 min
ers in Rossland and only one police
man. Yet the town had no serious
trouble. The worst fuss that occurred
was when drunken negro got into
fight with a colored woman and
struck her several times with his fist.
On this side Of the line he might have
received two months. The Canadian
court promptly sent him up for six
years.
Pulls do not go with the Canadian
police nor with any of the depart
ments of justice. The miners under
stand this thoroughly and have
wholesome respect for law and order
There are no barrooms pure and sim
pie. Drinks cannot be served except
in bona fide hotel where guests
lodge for the night and there is res
taurant serving regular meals. In.
dams are not allowed to have liquor
under any circumstances. Few Of
fences will get a man into the peni-
tentiary quicker than selling spirits
to the aborigines. There is no mercy
shown whatever.

Fire Sweeps a Little Town.

The little town of Nuremburg, below
Deringer, was visited by fire at an early
hour yesterday morning, and several of
the principal buildings of the village
were in ashes before the flames were
subdued. 1t was shortly after midnight
when kerosene lamp exploded in
Doner's hotel, and the fire spread so
rapidly that the three-stery structure
was doomed in a short while. Having
no protection against fire. the town was
at the mercy of the flames. Yannes'
bottling house soon caught and was con-
sumed. Dwellings owned by Sylvester
Kline and Mrs. John Nicholas were the
next victims. followed by the warehouse
of Joseph Marchetti and the store of
Breisch Bros. Hazleton and Mahanoy
City were asked for assistance, but none
was given the little town. The damage
amounts to about $l5, 1000, partially COW
cred by insurance.

Three Men Killed at Duryea.

The Halstead mine of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Company, at
Duryea, was the scene of another acci-
dent Thursday evening by which three
men lost their lives. Last week the
surface over the mine caved in and two
men were entombed Their bodies are
still in the mine. The cavern affected
the main shaft of the mine, and last
week men were put to work to repair it.
The workingmen were engaged in rein-
ing the shaft when the accident occurred.
Some heavy tmbers were being lowered
into the shaft, when the chain holding
them broke. The timbers struck the
Temporary platform upon which the men
were standing, demolishing it. All three
men were precipatated to the bottom of
the shaft, distance of 300 feet.
1t was some time before their bodies
could be taken out. The names of the
victims are John Titus, Stephen Jenkins
and John Monahan. All are married
and leave families.
