Mrs. Mary A. Leisenring died .on
Tuesday morning at her home in Upper
Lehigh in the seventy-seventh year of
her age. The deceased had been i'll but
short while. Mrs. Leisenring was u
lady who was respected by all her ac-
quaintanceS, both rich and poor, and
her death removed from the community
one who was esteemed by all classes Of
people. Mrs. Leisenring came to Upper
Lehgh in 1864, shortly after mining
operations began there, in company
with her husband, the late Walter
Lesenring, who was secretary of Upper
Lehigh Coal Company and who died
there in May, 1877.
The maiden name of the deceased
was Mary Ann Price. She was a native
of Monroe county, AMI descendant of Il
family which settled in New Jersey IN
the early days of that state. She mar
red Charles Kemmerer, who was the
father of two OF her children, Anna
NJ, the wife of DR.. w. w. Watson.
of Scranton, and Mahlon S. Kemmerer,
of Mauch Chunk the senior member of
the mining firm Of Kemmerer & Co.
Some years after the death of her first
husband, she was united in marriage
with Walter Leisenring, and three
daughters and two sons survive this
union, as follows: Gertrude H., wife of
Thomas M. Fighter, coal operator of
Mt. Carmel; Ada L., wife Of DR.. Ii. M.
Neale, of Upper Lehigh; Albert c.,
superintendent of Upper Lehigh Coal
Company; Walter, superintendent at
Sandy Run for M. S. Kemmerer & Co.,
and Mary W., wife OF DR.. w. c. Gayley,
of Hazleton.
Funeral services were held at her late
home this morning by Rev. j. w.
Bischotf. The remains were then taken
to Mauch Chunk via the Jersey Central
Railroad, and the funeral takes place
there this afternoon from Mr.. KEN
merer's residence The interment will
be made in Mauch Chunk cemetery.

The Wilkesbarre Times OF last even
ing says that the G. A. R. Memorial
Hall on South Main street will likely be
accepted by the county commissioners
as temporary quarters for the court
business during the tearing down of the
present building and the erection of a
new court house. The various societies
which have occupied the building as a
lodge room have been asked to vacate by
April /, as the entire building will prob
ably be occupied by the county by that
time.
The county commissioners have not
yet ratified the lease, but the matter
has been discussed, and there is no other
building in view which will answer the
purpose as satisfactory as Memorial
Hall. The leasing of the hall by the
county will materially assist the G. A.
R. veterans in paying off the debt which
remains on the building.
The renting of the hall will also give
the commissioners an opportunity to
begin the work of building the new
court house on the Square. Plans and
specifications are now being received
for the new court house and they will be
opened and passed upon on February 10.

The mining and railroad companies in
this vicinity are paying out more money
now than any time for several years
past Nearly every cent of that
can be directed into the channels OF
business here. We call the attention OF
the merchants OF our town to the posi-
bilties of attracting that money in their
direction.
There are many ways for doing this
but after the store has been beautifed,
the stock increased and bargains are
offered, there is only one way to talk to
the vast army among whom these large
sums are distributed, and that is through
the newspapers,
An hour week spent at the desk pre-,
pairing to talk to the great reading pub
lie through newspaper is regarded
these days as far superior to waiting be-
hind the counter until somebody chances
to drop in.
Advertse-but write good ads, and
teach the people above all to believe
what you say Is gospel truth.

Women for School Directors.

This being an off year in politics,
various schemes have been devised in
other towns to make tho coming election
an interesting one. Down at Snyder
town, a borough near Shamokin, three
women are putting up great battle for
although the females are on the Demo-
cratic ticket and the town is largely of
that political faith, the men will doubt
less win over the pretty buxom candi-
dates, as many voters claim that they
will not vote for women, one of whom is
opposed to her husband.
The present directors have not man
aged district affairs to suit all the peo-
Pile. Last Friday new set of men were
nominated at the Republican primaries
They were George Kline, Jacob Deibler
and Luther Cooper, all three good men
and popular, but certain people thought
they would be no better in Office than
the old directors, and the scheme of
running women for the place was hatch
ed in the brains of a number OF females.
The women asked few Democratic
workers to aid them at the primaries,
and big vote was polled. Mrs. George
Kline, Mrs. John Campbell and Mrs.
David Hoover were named, the former
heading the ticket. Snydertown prom
ises to have the liveliest election held
in Pennsylvania on February 21.

From the Hazleton Plain Speaker
Last week one day certain gentle
man from town went to Harrisburg in
the hope of converting Representative
Frank Snyder and inducing him to vote
for the reelection of Senator Quay. Mr.
Snyder was asked, ''If | present to you
a signed letter from Mr.. Calvin Pardee
giving his assent to your vote for Quay
will you vote for him?" To this Mr.
Snyder is reported to have said yes y
He did not realize to what extent he had
committed himself until after he said
the word and then it was too late. 1t is
apparent, therefore, that Representative
Snyder is voting as one of his friends
