 From the Cherokee Sentinel.
 Education receives a secondary consid- eration from our would-be statesmen They are engrossed in the more trivial and less important matters of how best to perpetu- ate themselves and their party in power. In the mad political excitement that is prevailing in our country the people ought to call halt and give some serious con- sideration to this all-important question of educating their children. We need more revenues to run our common schools. Let it be the demand of the people. We can economize on other things, but we cannot afford to let our rigid economy dwarf the minds of the bright-eyed boys and girls that are growing up in our country. The appeal should come from every voter in our state for more revenue for our schools.

FATHER FIRST, DAUGHTER NEXT.
News of His Death SO shocked Her
That She Died.

A pathetic and fatal sequel to the
death of John Davis. of 1929 Capouse
avenue, a carpenter who was killed last
roof, was the death of his daughter
Mrs. William Appleman, of Throop.
yesterday. She gave birth to child
the day her father was killed. 1t was
necessary to tell her of her fathers
death, and the shock weakened her be-
yond recovery.
Mrs. Appleman's husband Is a book
keeper for the Pancoast Coal company
at Throop. Her mother was with her
when the child was born, but was sum-
moned to Scranton that day. Mrs. pa
Wis had only been told that her hus-
band was injured. Even this was rot
revealed to the young mother. who was
assured that her sister would be sent
to her at once.
Wednesday passed but neither Mrs.
Davis nor the sister of Mrs. Appleman
could go to the latter's bedside. and
she had to be told her father was dead.
This was done after due consideration
of the matter by the attending physi-
clan and relatives who believed Mrs.
Appleman could better bear the sorrow
the news would bring to her than wor-
ry over the unexplained absence of her
mother and sister. The revelation so
shocked her and filled her with such a
flood of grief that she became weak
and died yesterday afternoon at 2.30
o'clock despite good nursing and medi-
cal attention,

BY consent OF counsel the equity
case of Mrs. Louisa Lyman against
Louis and Margaret Smith was yester-
day transformed into an action of
ejectment and tried before Judge Arch
bald without jury.
on the previous day the court indi-
Gated that it could not see it's way
clear to sustain the bill in equity and
advised the parties" to take it into
court in the form of an ejectment suit.
To save time and trouble and rely
ing upon the wisdom as well as legal
knowledge of Judge Archibald the
counsel on both sides agreed to make
the case an action in ejectment with
Judge Archibald as judge and jury.
The case, as explained yesterday, is
one where the mother accuses her son
of fraudulently obtaining the deed of
her property in the Fifteenth ward.
The defense is that the property was
given to the son out of love and affec-
tion and that after he married against
the mothers wishes she trumped up
this charge to take the property away
from him. Watson, Diehl, Hall &
Kemmerer represent the plaintiff. E.

sci for the defense,

Connery was intoxicated. He, with
four or five friends, boarded the car at
Moosic and when Conductor Lang

refused. He was threatened with evic-
ton from the car, but said, defiantly:
"Pooh!"
Conductor Languths attempted Ia

Gives His Version of the Accident
Tuesday Night.

p. j. Jordan, whose wagon was run
into and smashed by one of the Scran-
ton Railway company's cars, near the
Taylor borough line, Tuesday night,
made the following statement yester-
day concerning the accident:
II was driving towards Scranton,
near the farm house switch, at the
time of the accident. There is a turn
in the road there and 1 could not see
the car until it was less than seventy
five feet away from me. The car was
on the down grade, and going at a
good rate of speed in consequence of
the wet rails. l was driving along,
partially in the track, to avoid the
fast horses attached to sleighs that
were speeding along the part of the
road unoccupied by the tracks. AS
soon as 1 espied the car I turned the
horses off the track, but they had not
time to pull the wagon out of harm s
way when the car struck the wagon,
badly wrecking it and throwing me
into a ditch by the roadside. / was
not asleep at the time the accident oc-

Robinson. Every winter these coal men
give their boys a treat. That they do
1t right was evidenced last night. The
two sleighs, containing about forty
boys. reached the city at 8 o'clock and
unloaded at the Academy of Music.
Tickets were purchased at the expense
of the coal operators and the boys were
given seats in the upper gallery.
Here they sat and laughed and yelled
and rooted" in real breaker boy fash
ion until the last curtain dropped. Then
they filed out in twos.
But the Messrs. Law and Robinson
were not through yet. Before the boys
knew 1t they were seated in a Spruce
street lunch house with hot coffee and
sandwiches before them. AS an enjoy
able banquet the like has never beer
surpassed in this town.
At midnight the slatepickers, filled
with gratitude and things to eat, left

JEALOUSY AND RAZORS.
Henry harrington Cuts His Wife's
Throat and Attempts Sutcide.

Cambridge Mass. Jan. 5-Henry Bar
rington, negro of this place, cut his
wife's throat early this morning and
then drew the razor across h 4
throat. The wounds in both cases will
probably prove fatal.
harrington and his wife attended a col
ored ball last evening and it is alleged
that he objected to his wife's actions in
dancing with certain men.
After some further trouble he took his
wife home. The neighbors state that Mrs.
harrington was seen to slip out of the
house later and go back to the dance hall.
When harrington found this out he took
his razor and awaited the womans re-
turn, when he attempted to kill her and
then himself.
A note written by Darlington was found
by the police in which he stated that he
regretted that his wife had brought the
gray hairs of his mother in sorrow to the
grave.
