FREELAND, PA, JULY ~, 1899.


From the Hazleton Sentinel.
1t would appear that England is now
following the tactics Russia adopted at
the close of the civil war when she sent
her chances for unfuring her flag again
in the Black sea by formenting trouble
between England and America over the
Alabama indemnity. At that time Mr..
Catacazy permitted his zeal to overflow
diplomacy. England's soicitude for
the United States at present has the
ear marks of the professional friend
promoters, or in other words Johnny
Bull is giving Uncle Sam beautiful
jolly on the Anglo-Saxon gag.
There is danger of the advertising
agent overriding the thing just as did
Mr.. Catacazy, who was given his pass
ports Just at a critical period of Andrew
&, Curtn's negotiations with Prince
Gortchakoff as minister to Russia.

devoting great deal OF space daily to
cablegrams which relate the marked
attention Americans are receiving in
London. The queen asks of Jaggers,
the messenger, concerning his trip to
Chicago and betrays deep interest in
Yankee sights as they impressed Jag
gers. Chauncey Depew is given another
ovation in Lunnon or Tod Sloane is
again lionized even if he does crack
cockney with bottle just "because e
crossed tn hocean."
These things may excite mutual ad-
miration between nations in the estima-
tion of the agent, but there is such a
thing as overriding it and another dip
lomat losing his job.

For Higher Education.

In our news columns there is out
lined a plan for advanced education in
Freeland which will be submitted to the
school board in the near future. 1t is
assured of sufficient support to carry it
through when formally introduced, and
if, as it seems, it is to be the first step
towards given our common school grad
yates an opportunity to secure such an
education as could heretofore be OBJ
tanned only by going out of town, it will
be endorsed by every friend of the
schools.
The excellent work that has been
done by teachers and pupils in the
common branches in the recent past
has made this step imperative. There
is no town that we know of where the
demand for advanced education sur
passes that in Freeland, and the estab-
fishing of a high school, one in fact as
fully as in name, could in justice to
the pupils be no longer delayed.
The borough directors may confident
ly count upon public support of any
and every measure they may have in
view that will improve local educational
facilities

MONSTER EGG.
of the egg equal In amount to two hen
eggs or to 80 persons an amount
equal to one hens egg.
The sketch of this gigantic egg in
Paris was made from the only speci-
men in the world.
The two halves of the egg would
make two splendid punch bowls out
of which twenty men could drink all
they wanted.
1t was discovered In Madagascar
by famous French naturalist, and
many people We're made to believe at
the time of its discovery that the egg
of the famous roc itself had been
found, and no wonder, for the far
famed bird of the arabian Nights"
was supposed to have lived on this
very island.
However, after careful investigation,
1t was decided that the egg was that
of giant extinct bird named aepyor-
MA. To-day ii is one of the greatest
treasures of the museum in the Jar
din des Plantcs, in Paris.

4 Negro Fiend in Hampton.


HAMPTON, May 2G.-About 5 O'Clock
this afternoon Abraham Davis, an
eighteen-year-old negro, was arrested
by Marshall Gooding and lodged in
Jail. He is charged with having raw
ished a nine-year-old little colored girl,
after having brutally beaten her. Evi-
dence points to the fact that the negro
followed the unsuspecting child when
she left town on her way homeward.
She resides with her industrious mother
about a mile from Hampton, on the
Varnville road, and had been sent to
Hampton on an errand. The child
managed to reach home in a very weak
state. The excited and greatly dis
tressed mother brought the child in
her arms to Hampton and appealed to
a prominent gentleman for aid in hav-
ing the tiend arrested, and was at once
rendered assistance by the arrest above
stated. DR.. J. B. Harvey pronounced
the child as very seriously injured,
Intense indignation is felt by al citi-
zens. Abraham is sure to receive a
long term in the Penitentiay.-Nrrs

Town Run By Women.

Mrs. Marie Totten, wife OF Charles
Totten, a prominent merchant. was
elected mayor of Beattie, q town OF 500
inhabitants In Northern Kansas, at q
recent city election. Her majority over
James Wall, the present mayor, was 81.
There were two tickets in the field
a awoman's ticket, headed by Marie Tot
ten, and mans ticket, headed by
James Wall. Both sides made a strong
campaign.
Although election day was windy
and stormy, the women all put on their
heavy wraps and went bravely to the
polls. It was their only chance to res
cue the little town from ruin.
Beattie has been for the last two
years so overr,ln with saloons and
joints that it was impossible to live
there comfortably. The women felt
keenly the disgrace, and not long ago
held a convention to devise some means
to change the towns ways. They
planned to put a ticket in the field in
the next municipal election. That was
ten months ago. Every night when
the husbands and grown sons came
home from their work the housewives
would bring up the subject OF saloons
and what q disgrace they were to
Beattie.-San Francisco Examiner.

the total accumulated wealth in 1900
viii not be Ear from $4,000, 100000,
OF more ttlian double the wealth of
