From the Philadelphia Press.
Senator-elect John A. Wentz addressed
the school directors of Montgomery
county on the topic "Should Newspapers
be Used as Supplementary Reading in
our Public Schoo+s?" He opposed the
innovation on the claim that there are
not 10 per cent of the daily papers pub
lshed in the United States whose every
line is suitable, as far as good editorial
Judgment can make them, to be read by
children"
The new senator from Montgomery
views the daily press narrowly. The
character of the reputable newspapers
is directed by those skilled in judging
what is proper to publish and what is not.
There is strict observance Of the moral
tone and an elimination of much of the
news that would be harmful if given
publicity. But the daily press reflects
the real world in which we live, not the
ideal, and it is a question for Senator
Wentz to consider whether more children
are not ruined through an ignorance of
constantly pictured lessons of the trans
gressors' ways than to leave them obliv-
ious to consequences until after they
awaken to the results of wrongdoing.
The school teachers of Pennsylvania,
as class, for example, bear evidence of
the integrity and high moral stamina
that comes of education.

Lehigh Valleys Now Cars.

The new cars Spartan, Trogan, Gre
clan and Corinthian, recently placed in
service on the Lehigh Valley, between
Buffalo and Nav York, are the latest
productions from the Pullman Works,
and they are considered superior to any
heretofore constructed. Several special
features have been introduced which
will undoubtedly make them popular
with the travelling public, the most i'm
portant OF which is the commodious la
dies boudoir, which is provided with a
dresser.
The cars are seyenty-eight feet long
over platforms, and contain VII the
latest Improvements, including wide
Vestioules, Pintsch gas system of light
ing and safety system steam heat. They
are finished in carefully selected ver-
million wood, secured in the East Indies,
and are plainly yet handsomely decorat-
ed with the latest design inlaid marquee
try work.
The upholstery on the seats and
backs, which is a moquette of Persian
design, with green border and centre
pattern of bright colors, was specially
imported for these cars. The ornamen-
tation of ceiling harmonizes with the
upholstery and other interior finishings,
giving the car an Arabesque effect.
The carpets are of rich velvets, and
passengers entering the cars at once
note the elegance and at the same time
the simplicity OF the ornamentaton of
the linishings, which give them a deli
cate appearance, difficult to describe,
and which must be seen to be appre-
| ciated

Played With Dynamite.

To celebrate the arrival of the holi-
days, a crowd of Mt. Carmel boys pro-
cured a lot OF dynamite, and went to
the mountain near Reliance colliery.
John Miller, aged Is, picked up stick
of the explosive and held it over fire
to thaw. Then placing the dynamite
on the ground he stamped on it with his
left foot. The conclusion caused the
dynamite cap to explode. The foot was
terribly mangled above the ankle and
had to be amputated. His face was cut
by pebbles, while his eyesight was des-
troyed by sand. He is not expected to
to recover

Roasted on "a Stove,

John Condish, of Jeddo, is being treat
ed at the Hazleton hospital for severe
burns about the limbs and body. John
celebrated Christmas by filling up on
whiskey, and when passing through the
kitchen of his boarding house on Sunday
fell backwards upon red hot stove.
He was so helplessly drunk that he could
not get off the stove. His screams
brought assistance from upstairs, but by
the time it arrived John was frightfully
roasted. The flesh stuck to the hot
furnace and great chunks are torn from
his BODY,

t1Oo Reward, SIoo.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages and that is
catarrh. Halls catarrh cure is the only
positive cure now known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being constitu-
tional disease requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation OF
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its WORK.
The proprietors have 80 much faith in
its curative powers. that they offer one
hundred dollars for any case that it fais
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Halls Family Pills are the best.


1T is a cause of amazement to me
thata man can go on, year in and year
out, toling for family whose members
show no interest in his work further
then to spend the money he makes, and
who look upon him as the family mint"
writes Francis Evans in the January
Ladies Home Journal my firm belief
is that had he, in the first flush OF mar
ried life. talked over his business and
ambitions with his wife, she would
have become interested in both, first for
his sake, and afterwards for her own
and their children's. Think OF the gulf
that lies between q man and woman
united in marriage when he never
speaks at home of the affairs wlach
absorb his entire day! Mutual interests
will bind people together indissolubly
even when indifference, that dangerous
bridge of sighs, has swallowed up affec-
tiOn."

Christmas Night Tragedy.

Michael Mallack after quarreling with
John Ladue, at Sturmerville Sunday
night in a saloon, started home with
him. Half an hour later he was dead
and Ladue returned to the saloon and
said Mallack had been struck by train
on the Delaware, Lackawanua and
Western Railroad. The single wound
on the back of the head looked so un-
like an injury received by being struck
by a train that Ladue was arrested and
sent to Luzerne county prison.
